【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。作者出生于一個貧窮的家庭，她小時候就開始夢想成為一名醫(yī)生，然而在讀中學時，她開始貪圖漂亮衣服，總想和別人出去閑逛，變成一名后進生。后來在母親的幫助與教導下，從后進生一躍名列前茅，成為優(yōu)秀生，并實現(xiàn)了自己的夢想，成為了一名醫(yī)生。作者想通過這一成功的事例說明：在教育子女的問題上，父母才是最好的老師。

【1】句意：我夢想成為一名醫(yī)生。

根據(jù)空后becoming a doctor，可知夢想成為一名醫(yī)生。動詞詞組dream of doing sth.“夢想做某事”，此處指小時候的夢想，所以用一般過去時dreamed，故選C。

【2】句意：通過她的工作，她發(fā)現(xiàn)成功的人讀書的時間比看電視多得多。

根據(jù)people spent a lot more time reading than watching television.“讀書的時間比看電視多得多。”結(jié)合選項，可以推測出應(yīng)是成功人士successful people，successful成功的，形容詞，修飾people，故選D。

【3】句意：有了空閑時間，我們不得不從當?shù)毓�共圖書館各讀了兩本書，并給她寫了讀書心得。

根據(jù)the local當?shù)氐暮?/span>library圖書館，可知是當?shù)毓�共圖書館，公共的public，形容詞，修飾library，故選E。

【4】句意：幾年后，我們意識到她的分數(shù)是個騙局。

根據(jù)My mother didn’t even know how to read.可知母親根本不會讀書，騙了他們，根據(jù)空前的冠詞a，可知空處為可數(shù)名詞，選項中只有trick“騙局”是名詞，故選B。

【5】句意：我開始抱怨沒有足夠漂亮的襯衫。

根據(jù)not having enough pretty shirts.，可知作者開始抱怨沒有足夠漂亮的襯衫，complain about“抱怨某事”，began to complain about開始抱怨，故選E。

【6】句意：好吧，我會把這周打掃衛(wèi)生間賺的錢都給你。

根據(jù)空前的動名詞cleaning打掃，結(jié)合選項，可知bathrooms“衛(wèi)生間”符合句意，根據(jù)句意，故選A。

【7】句意：我意識到我的母親是一個天才，能夠用餐桌上的任何食物來養(yǎng)活我們。
根據(jù)with any kind of food on the table，可知意思為用餐桌上的任何食物來養(yǎng)活我們。養(yǎng)活，喂養(yǎng)feed，be able to后用動詞原形，故選D。

【8】句意：我回到了我的學業(yè)，再次成為一名A級學生，最后我的夢想實現(xiàn)了。

所剩選項at last最終；in all總計，根據(jù)句意，可知作者最終實現(xiàn)了夢想，所以用at last，故選B。
