(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】考察对文章主题的把握。本句式一个主题句，本题的关键是弄清楚这个长句的结构。
【小题2】同上。
【小题3】考察固定搭配结合语境的正确使用。Come to realize，逐渐意识到，逐渐开始明白。这是完型中经常遇到的表达。
【小题4】根据句子后半部分，就会联想起来常用搭配accept……as……。故选accept的对应形式。意思为“我开始意识到，我的成功很大程度上归功于我对这句话的接受并作为我的行为准则。”
【小题5】根据下文可知作者做这份工作时候，还没有结婚，需要过几年才结婚，所以最有可能是他毕业后的第一份工作。
【小题6】考察动词在语境中的词义辨析。determined，决定，确定，断定。在这句话中“直到我确定我做的工作就可以作为我的职业。”
【小题7】考察副词语义的辨析。actually实际上。句意为：事实上当时我认为我会工作几年，然后结婚，所以我没有对那件工作当回事。
【小题8】考察语意的理解。句意同上。
【小题9】考察上下文语意照应和固定句式的使用。根据下文可知作者一接触这个工作就对它产生了兴趣。本句涉及了一个句型“否定级+比较级”表最高级含义。
【小题10】考察动词词组的语义辨析。move up升迁，晋职。结合文章内容可知作者在这个单位做的很成功，所以应该是升职。
【小题11】positions表示“职务，位置”。作者一路升迁到各个职位。
【小题12】根据引号内的内容“I will try it……”这应该是作者的想法thought。
【小题13】尝试新的位置，如果不行还可以退回到以前的职位。
【小题14】考察动词在语境中的含义。根据上文29空，可知作者对这个单位的工作都很感兴趣。
【小题15】考察动词与名词的搭配。
【小题16】选对这个空的关键是读懂这个长句子“I never would have thought were within me had it not been for my being 36 trying new opportunities.”这个句子是虚拟语气的句子，包含有if引导的虚拟条件句，只是把if省了，从句使用了倒装结构。
【小题17】believe in 相信……有好处，相信……能成功。
【小题18】考察名词词义与动词的搭配。achieve my goal，达到目标。
【小题19】考察形容词词意辨析。Be excited to do，做某事很有激情，很兴奋。
【小题20】考察名词词义辨析。Time，合适的时机。
