Question

【題目】As school kids, we might have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge, you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can realize their dreams. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You should never give up your dream easily.

There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

【4】B

【5】C

【解析】

本文主要講述了作為學(xué)生我們的夢想，以及怎么實現(xiàn)我們的夢想。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.”可知當(dāng)我們有了夢想之后，我們要做的第一件事就是記住我們的夢想是什么， 故選D。

【2】詞義猜測題。從上文語境“you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.”可知這是一種想法，思想，故猜出thought 的意思是想法，故選A。

【3】主旨大意題�！�Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?”以及“Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge”可以看出作者的主要目的是讓我們實現(xiàn)夢想，故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.”可知最大的困難來自于我們自己，是因為我們需要決定什么是最重要。 故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。從文中倒數(shù)第二段“Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day.” 可以判斷A選項不正確。第三段中“Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews”可知Andrew Matthews 確實是一個美國作家，但是這并不是我們從文中學(xué)到的，而是作者直接告訴我們的客觀情況，故B不正確。從最后一段“There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.”可知D不正確，故選C。

在做詞義猜測題時，在理解整篇文章大意的同時，仔細(xì)閱讀所猜測詞義前后的句子非常重要，他們的詞義通常會在前后文中以同義的詞或句子或短語的形式出現(xiàn)，或以定語從句的形式加以解釋。例如第3小題，從上文語境“you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.”可知這是一種想法，思想，故猜出thought 的意思是想法，故選A。
