【解析】

这是一篇说明文。为了实现梦想，需要持续的尝试，文章就如何实现梦想提出五个技巧。

1.由下一句“If you really want to do it, then, ask yourself a question: Do I really have any talent for this?”可知，如果你真的想要去做这件事，那么，问自己一个问题：我真的在这方面有天赋吗？代词it，this都是在指代空格处的内容，it，this表示的想要做的事物，选项E“弄清楚你想做什么”切题，故选E。

2.由空格前三句“Do you have to study? Which university should you choose? Which qualifications do you need?”和空格后一句“Make sure you know why you want to do this.”可知，你必须学习吗？你应该选择哪个大学？你需要哪个资质？这三句都是在表达怎么样去实现梦想的提问，而空格后一句：确保你知道你为什么想要做这个，该句是祈使句的肯定句结构，选项F，是祈使句的肯定句结构，而且表达的内容是“尽你可能地收集信“”是对空格前三个疑问句的回答，切合题意，故选F。

3.由前一句“At first, nobody liked his ideas, but he believed in himself and continued working on them.”和最后一句“Keep on working at it, and you will get what you want in the end.”可知，空格前一句表达的是一开始，没有人喜欢他的想法，但是他相信自己并且继续设法说服他们，最后一句表达的是继续在这方面工作，然后你最终将得到你所想要的，最后一句的前半句继续工作，和空格前一句他相信自己并且继续设法说服他们相照应，那么空格处表达的内容和最后一句的后半句相照应。选项B“ 最后一切都进展顺利”切题。故选B。

4.由后一句“You have to be willing to pay for it.”可知，你不得不乐意为它付出代价，提示空格处是有价值的东西，选项A“生活中的所有事物都有其价值”切题。故选A。

5.由前一句“There are many musicians, writers, singers and actors who were poor at first.”可知，有很多音乐家，作者，歌唱家和表演者一开始都是贫困的，而选项C中的代词they是对这群人的指代，表达的内容是“但是，他们努力向上”和前一句的贫困处境形成转折，故选C。
