【单选题】 "Shadowland" in the last sentence refers to______.
A．the wonderland one often dreams about
B．the bright' future that one is looking forward to
C．the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached
D．a world that exists only in one's imagination

网考网参考答案：C
网考网解析：
这也是道细节题，考查对单词的理解。主要是通过单词前后的上下文来判断。在本文中，“shadowland"的前一句话中指出“it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure”即它意味着与不确定的因素和失败的恐惧一起生活，由此可以判断该词的意思是在最终目标实现前的不确定的状态。故应选[C]。 查看试题解析出处>>
