【解析】文章大意：这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过人们去参加一个葬礼，告诉人们一个道理：阻碍自己进步的人不是别人，正是自己，要超越自我，战胜自我，才能战胜困难。

1.句意：在公司一直阻拦你的人昨天去世了。person符合题意。

2.die away渐息；减弱；die out灭绝；pass away去世；pass out昏倒。 pass away符合句意

3.句意：我们邀请你们参加已经准备好的葬礼。protect“保护”；prevent“阻止”；和prove“证明”均不符合句意；prepare“准备”符合句意。

4.认为是自己的同事去世，大家一开始都很悲伤。故选sad。

5.从but看，大家很“好奇”想知道到底是谁去世了。curious“好奇的”符合题意

6.从第二段的“…the ________who has been hindering (阻碍) your growth in this company ________.”看出答案

7.从第四段的“The more people ________ the coffin (棺材), the more the excitement heated up.”看出答案。

8.within the room意思是“在房间里”。符合题意

9.reach the coffin意思是“到达棺材旁”相当于下文的 get closer to，符合语境

10.句意：到底谁是阻止我进步的人？故选who

11.carefully仔细地；actually事实上；suddenly突然；madly疯狂地。根据下文的became speechless看出，是“突然地”的意思

12.从本句中felt shocked看出“大家鸦雀无声”。in silence “寂静无声；沉默”符合句意

13.句意：好像有人触摸到他们的灵魂深处。soul“灵魂”符合句意

14.镜子在棺材里面，所以大家是往里面看的。look inside“往里面看”符合题意，其他三个选项均不符合题意

15.镜子旁还有一块标牌，上面写着：“只有一个人能限制你的发展，那就是你自己”。 say“写到”符合句意

16.句意：镜子旁还有一块标牌，上面写着：“只有一个人能限制你的发展，那就是你自己。”limit“限制”相当于文章中的hinder符合句意。deadline最后期限；demand要求；lack缺乏，均不符合句意

17.从本段的“…when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife changes…”看出答案

18.go beyond超越；go without没有……也可以；go towards朝……去。 go beyond “超越”符合句意

19.difficulties 与impossibilities and losses是并列的

20.句意：请记住这就是你面对的有重要影响的生活方式。remember“记住”符合句意
