1-20 BCBAD CADAA DCBBD ACCDB
1. 答案 B?解析 依据下文的“Everyone wondered.‘Who is this person that was hindering my growth’”中的“my growth”可以推知，此处指在公司里阻碍自己成长的人，故选B项。ability能力；talent天赋；practice实践。
2. 答案 C?解析 作为一个公司，有人去世，如果让员工参加葬礼，只可能是邀请，而不可能是要求、允许或建议，故选invite。
3.答案 B?解析 依据句意可知，体育馆的这个房间是被准备好举行葬礼用的，所以选prepared。start开始；open开放；create创造，均不符合句意。
4.答案 A?解析 由第一段内容可知，此处指公司的员工们都已经知晓了这一消息。句意为：知道他们的一个同事去世后，一开始大家都很伤心。receive收到(指具体的物)；notice注意到；find发现。
5. 答案 D?解析 上文提及刚开始大家都很伤心，后来又对谁死了感到好奇，二者是转折关系，所以用表示转折意义的连词but。
6.答案 C?解析 有同事去世了，但谁也不知道是谁去世了，所以此处用curious，大家好奇(地想知道)这个人是谁，而不可能是生气、遗憾或者紧张。
7. 答案 A?解析 依据语境可知，公司的员工们对于谁去世了很好奇，所以这里指人们来到体育馆的时候，这种兴奋“增强”了。用grow能够很形象地描绘出当时大家的情绪变动。而appear出现；improve改善，提高；develop发展，都与上下文不符。
8.答案 D?解析 此处指同逝去的人道别并致以“最后的敬意”，故此处用respect尊敬，敬意。sight视力，看见；attention注意，关注；appreciation感激，均不符合语境。
9. 答案 A?解析 at least至少；反正；in fact事实上；at once立刻，马上；in general总的来说。句意为：谁是阻碍我成长的人呢？嗯，反正这个人已经不在了。故这里应用at least。
10.答案 A?解析 由上文提及的“The excitement...as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last...”可知，来体育馆给死者送行的都是公司的员工。
11.答案 D?解析 由下文可知，棺材里放置的是一面镜子，这出乎他们的意料。所以这里用suddenly，表示“出乎意料”。而quickly迅速地；finally最后；obviously显然地，均不符合语境。
12.答案 C?解析 刚开始人们都觉得棺材里是人，而去了看到里面放着一面镜子，当然极其吃惊。Worry担心的；depress郁闷的；embarrass尴尬的，均不符合语境。
13.答案 B?解析 由下文知，人们发现棺材里面放的是镜子，由此可推知，阻碍他们前进的是他们自己，这犹如有人“触动了”他们的心灵深处，所以用touch。
14.答案 B?解析 由语境及文章第一段The sign said...再结合空前的also一词可以得知答案为sign。
15.答案 D?解析 read表示“(告示牌、标志物上)写着……”之意。其实依据文章第一段知，该处也可以用said,但不可以用wrote。
16.答案 A?解析 set limits to...给……设限，为固定搭配。句意为：只有一个人能给你的成长设限，那就是你。
17.答案 C?解析 由下文的“Your life does not change when your boss changes”及“when you realize that you are the only one...for your life.”可知，这里说的是：你是唯一能够改变你的生活的人。所以用life。
18.答案 C?解析 句意为：你是唯一能够影响你的幸福、认知和成功的人。这里强调你对这一切的影响力。
19.答案 D?解析 文章告诉我们，我们之所以在成长进步中受到阻碍，是因为我们自己给自己设限了，所以我们要想改变这一切，就必须越过……，go beyond在此表示“越过……”。
20.答案 B?解析 当认识到你是唯一能够对自己生活负责的人……be responsible for对……负责。
