Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】F

【3】A

【4】D

【5】E

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。一個充滿熱情、意志堅定、準(zhǔn)備迎接生活磨難的人，是我們都想成為的人。如果你想成為那樣的人，那么你的第一步就是永遠(yuǎn)保持靈感。文章告訴我們需要保持靈感的四個原因。

【1】

結(jié)合后文He/She is a person who wakes up every day more inspired than the next. Inspiration will lead you anywhere you want to go.可知他/她是一個每天醒來都比第二天更有靈感的人。靈感會帶你去任何你想去的地方。由此可知，本句是在引出后文一個有靈感的人是不會在挑戰(zhàn)面前退縮的人。故G選項“一個有靈感的人是不會在挑戰(zhàn)面前退縮的人”符合上下文語境，故選G。

【2】

本句為第一段最后一句，有啟示下文的作用，結(jié)合后文主要說明了需要保持靈感的四個原因，故F選項“以下是你應(yīng)該一直保持靈感的另外四個原因”符合上下文語境，故選F。

【3】

根據(jù)后文I’ll give you some names of people who have changed the path of history and I’ll let you determine if they were inspired. Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mother Theresa.可知我會給你們一些改變歷史道路的人的名字，讓你們確定他們是否受到了啟發(fā)。Albert Einstein，Steve Jobs， Theresa修女。由此可知，后文列舉了有靈感改變了世界的人，那么本句應(yīng)當(dāng)是在引出下文，指出缺乏靈感的人很少能改變世界。故A選項“缺乏靈感的人很少能改變世界”符合上下文語境，故選A。

【4】

根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容Mark Zuckerberg was inspired by the potential of a great social network. Four English musicians were inspired to create great music thereby creating the Beatles. Socrates was inspired by his own curiosity and ended up creating Western Philosophy as we know it today.可知Mark Zuckerberg被一個偉大的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)的潛力所啟發(fā)。四位英國音樂家受到啟發(fā)創(chuàng)作了偉大的音樂，從而創(chuàng)造了Beatles樂隊。Socrates受到自己好奇心的啟發(fā)，最終創(chuàng)立了我們今天所知的西方哲學(xué)。由此可知，后文這些著名人物的例子說明：靈感是一切偉大成就的必要因素，沒有靈感就不會有偉大的成就。故D選項“沒有靈感就不會有偉大的成就”符合上下文語境，故選D。

【5】

根據(jù)小標(biāo)題Inspiration and genius—one and the same.(靈感和天才是一體)以及后文In fact, many who we consider geniuses today were nothing more than extremely inspired individuals.可知事實上，許多我們今天認(rèn)為是天才的人只不過是極具靈感的個人。由此可知，本句是在說明天才不必非的是智商非常高的人。故E選項“你不必智商達(dá)到150才被認(rèn)為是天才”符合上下文語境，故選E。
