问题     From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I
knew that when I grew I should be a writer. Between the ages 【M1】______
of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this
idea, but I did so with the conscience that I was outraging my 【M2】______
true nature and that soon or later I should have to settle down 【M3】______
and write books.
    I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of
five years on the either side, and I barely saw my father 【M4】______
before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat
lonely, and I soon developed disagreeing mannerisms which 【M5】______
made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the
lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding
conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from the 【M6】______
very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling 【M7】______
of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility
with words and a power of facing in unpleasant facts, and I 【M8】______
felt that this created a sort of private world which I could get 【M9】______
my own back for my failure in everyday life. Therefore the 【M10】______
volume of serious — i.e. seriously intended — writing
which I produced all through my childhood and boyhood
would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first
poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to
dictation.

选项
答案conscience—consciousness
解析 形近词错误。conscience和consciousness虽然都是conscience的派生词，但意思差别很大。前者表示良心、诚心之意而后者表示意识。从本句的意思来看，作者想表达的意思是“我虽然一度设法抛弃当作家的这个念头，但在心里依然很清楚地认识到自己的未来会从事这一行”。因此用后者合适。
