分析 我们的勇气并不是与生俱来的，我们的恐惧也不是．也许有些恐惧来自你的亲身经历，别人告诉你的故事，或你在报纸上读到的东西．有些恐惧可以理解，例如在凌晨两点独自走在城里不安全的地段．但是一旦你学会避免那种情况，你就不必生活在恐惧之中．

解答 16．C  考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据文中的位置可知这是一个过渡，所以C让我来告诉你我们面临的其他五个内在敌人正确．
17．F  考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据The second enemy we face is indecision．Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise我们面临的第二个敌人是优柔寡断．它是窃取机会和事业的贼，它还会偷去你实现更美好未来的机会．向这个敌人出剑吧！故选F．
18．A  考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据上下文The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there's room for healthy skepticism．You can't believe everything第三个内在的敌人是怀疑．当然，正常的怀疑还是有一席之地的，你不能相信一切．可知选A．
19．E 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据上文．I'm telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success我告诉你，怀疑会毁掉你的生活和你成功的机会，它会耗尽你的存款，留给你干涸的心灵可知后面应该是消灭它，故选E．
20．B 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据后文的Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become．勇敢地追求你想要的事物并勇敢地成为你想成为的人，可知前文提到梦想等，所以选B．

点评 解题策略
1）从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，正确理解了这些句子后，根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案．在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案．
2）从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的，要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等．其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等．尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法．
3）从关联词作为切入点 通常，英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接，让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索．在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来．
