20.There is an old Spanish proverb which states,"Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week".(36)D I'd say,too many.Our dreams should not,and cannot wait.We have to go for them now!Here's why.
1.(37)B
Nobody likes to talk about death,but the reality is that everybody is going to die at one point.None of us know the day,or the hour.Therefore,today is all we have.Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream,big or small right now.
2.The world is waiting on your gift.
I know this may be hard to believe,but the world is waiting on YOU!Yes,YOU!(38)ESure,other people may be able to sing.But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you.Sure other people can write,but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write.Don't deprive the world of your gift.It's the oxygen that we need to survive.Thus,it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is,and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.
3.(39)G
You can dream about writing the great American play that you want,but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper.You can dream about finding a cure for cancer,but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure.(40)C They require you to get your head out of the clouds,and actually do the work to make them happen.Get to it!
A.You can't let fear win.
B.Tomorrow is not promised.
C.In other words,dreams don't work unless you do.
D.How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?
E.You were born into the world with a unique gift,which nobody on this earth can duplicate.
F.Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you.
G.Unless you take the first step,your dreams will never come true.
分析 本文介紹了有句古老的西班牙諺語:明天常常是一周中最忙碌的一天.有多少次我們曾把夢想托付給明天?要我說,太多次.夢想不應等待,也經(jīng)不起等待.我們必須馬上行動.道理如下:1、明天不一定到來;2、世界需要你;3、如果跨不出第一步,夢想將終歸是夢想.
解答 DBEGC
36.D聯(lián)系下文題.根據(jù)下文"I'd say,too many."可知,前文應是一個問句.D項:How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?有多少次我們曾把夢想托付給明天?符合文意.故選D項.
37.B小標題選擇.本段主要敘述現(xiàn)在就做出追逐夢想的決定,因為明天不一定到來,我們真正擁有的是今天.故本段的標題應為B項:Tomorrow is not promised.明天不一定到來.符合文意.故選B項.
38.E前后文呼應.E項中的關鍵詞"gift"與本段標題及下文中的"gift"相呼應.故選E項.
39.G主旨大意題.本段主要敘述實現(xiàn)夢想需要付出實際行動.故G項:Unless you take the first step,your dreams will never come true.如果跨不出第一步,夢想將終歸是夢想.符合本段主旨.故選G項.
40.C解釋說明題.C項:In other words,dreams don't work unless you do.意為"換句話說,除非身體力行,否則夢想終歸是夢想"是對前文進一步的解釋說明.故選C項.
點評 做此類題之前,應先把七個答案仔細讀一遍,通過它們來猜測文章大意,然后進入文章進行一個一個地填寫,若中間有些不會填寫,可以先放下,最后再去處理它.做這類題,在理解的基礎上,要講一些技巧.做完后,千萬不要忘記檢查,上下文是否通順.平時學生在閱讀一定要注意文章上下文聯(lián)系等.
