阅读表达（共5小题, 每小题3分, 满分15分）

Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within．The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum，let it slide. I’ll just drift along．” Here’s one problem with drifting：you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain．

The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．

The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there’s room for healthy skepticism．You can’t believe everything．But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past, doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．              , they doubt themselves．I’m telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is all enemy．Get rid of it．

The fourth enemy within is worry．We’ve all got to worry some．Just don’t let it conquer you．Instead, let it alarm you．Worry can be useful．If you step off the curb (路边) in New York City and a taxi is coming，you’ve got to worry．But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner．Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries：drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you，you’ve got to get it．Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back．   

The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (胆小的) approach to life．Timidity is not a virtue；it’s an illness．If you let it go，it’ll conquer you．Timid people don’t get promoted．They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace．You’ve got to avoid overcaution．

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是在人生之路上我们要对付的来自我们内心世界的五大敌人，只有消灭了这些敌人，我们才会成功。

1.Facing the Enemies from Within．

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within．

2.indifference，indecision，doubt，worry， overcaution．(其中三个)

细节题。文章五段中每一段都有一个The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．和The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断).和 The third enemy inside is doubt和The fourth enemy within is worry．以及The fifth enemy is overcaution.

3.Besides／Even worse／Worse still／Worse of all等

根据前后句But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past, doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．和they doubt themselves．可知他们先是怀疑自身以外的事情，最后开始自我怀疑，这是一种递进的关系。故使用．Besides／Even worse／Worse still／Worse of all。

4.But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small comer．

推理题。But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner这两句都是指不要让担忧控制我们。

5.无论是什么推动了你，你必须把它推回去。

本题的关键是对让步状语从句的解释，以及动词短语push back的理解。
