Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. 1.  

I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why.

1.   2.  

Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – 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! 3.      Sure, 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. 4.  

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.    5.   They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!

【解析】

试题分析: 我们的梦想不能等，因为生命不知道在什么时候就会终止，我们只有今天，明天会怎样谁也不知道。

1.D考查对上下文语境的理解。空前一句的意思是：西班牙的一句谚语说：明天是一周中最忙的一天；空后一句的意思是：我想说梦想不能等也不应该再等了。所以这里选D（我们有多少次把梦想推迟到明天？）与上下文一致。

2.B考查对段落的理解。本段的意思是：没人愿意谈论死亡，但现实是——死亡必然到来。哪一天或哪一刻没人能说得清。所以，我们真正拥有的是今天。不要因未实现梦想抱憾而终。梦想，或伟大或平凡，不论怎样，从即刻起，作出追逐每个梦想的决定。所以这里选B（明天不一定到来。）符合段意。

3.E考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：世界的确需要你!空后的意思是：不要对世界吝惜你的天赋。它是我们生存需要的氧气。因此，发掘并利用自己的天赋，承担起改善自己和他人生活的责任。所以这里选E（ 你带着独一无二的天赋来到这个世界上，地球上无人可以复制。）与上下文一致。

4.G考查对段落的理解。本段的意思是：写出一部伟大的美剧是你的梦想，但是如果不拿起笔，这部伟大的美剧将永远不会问世。你梦想找到治愈癌症的良方，但是如果你不学习，不用发现良方所需的工具和手段来找到质疑的方法，那仅是纸上谈兵。换句话说，除非身体力行，否则梦想终归是梦想。实现梦想要求你别再做白日梦，所以这里选G（你的梦想永远不会成为现实，除非你跨出第一步。）符合本段的意思。
