问题 Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends,
    Noted British politician Sir Winston Churchill once said, "Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
    What a wonderful expression of the mission before us at K.C. Innovation University! Our path into the future is alive with possibilities. It is ripe with promise, and it is motivated by and challenged with the dreams of young people yet to enter our hallowed halls. We have a mission to help turn those dreams into reality, and we are committed to unparalleled success.
    Dr. Martinson and his wife Libby, devoted 20 years of their lives to the mission of this university, and I stand in the results of their efforts. What he has done has made my job so much easier, I am now benefiting from his work even though he has left his position. I join with the wonderful staff and faculty of K. C. Innovation University in appreciation for their dedication and vision, and pledge to move that vision forward in exciting and powerful ways.
    As the summer progresses, we are getting ready for one of the most exciting times in the history of K.C. Innovation University. Earth movers and heavy construction equipment have already begun to break ground for several new buildings and facilities.
    We will record and report this progress over the next several issues of this publication, and encourage you to return to campus to watch first-hand as the face of your alma mater evolves. In the pages of this magazine, you’ll read that our most recent fundraising efforts raised ＄ 20 million dollars. Don’t let the number mislead you; we need double that amount--NOW--if we are to brand K. C. Innovation University and promote it as one of America’s finest. Our vision is huge, but our focus and dedication are huge. We embrace the vision, and with God’s grace and your help, we will succeed. We covet your prayers and your support as together we watch the vision become reality.
选项 A、It is impossible for us to reach those goals that are not realistic.
B、The difficulties ahead will discourage those without a strong will power.
C、We should strive for what we set as our goals and success no matter what happens.
D、The road to success is filled with difficulties and even uncertainties.
答案C
解析 考查引用语的中心思想和作用。作者在开头处引用了著名政治家丘吉尔的话，结合全篇所表达的意思，这里的引用语主要是为了说明“尽管我们在前进的道路上会遇到各种各样的困难，但我们还是应该尽力克服这些困难来取得最后的胜利”这样的意思；C项和D项加起来表达了这样的完整意思，但这句话的意义重心明显在后半句，C项代表了这样的意义重心，为正确选项。
