试题分析:这篇短文主要通过三个例子来给我们讲述了思考的重要作用。
【1】A前面提到:我将思考一下。说这个是很容易的。空格后面的意思是:我们不能看到我们的想法、或听到、品尝到、或感觉到它们。可知此处表达的意思是:但是你知道什么样的伟大事情都来自思考吗?故选A。
【2】F根据上一句:他看见一个苹果从一棵树上落下来。根据空格后一句:后来,他发现地球、太阳月亮和星星保存在他们的地方。可知此处表达的意思是:他开始思考,为什么苹果落下来。故选F。
【3】C根据下句:他开思想。他想找出为什么水壶里的蒸汽移动了沉重的盖子。可知上句在说:一个叫詹姆斯·瓦特的男孩安静地坐在炉边, 看着茶壶的盖子,上下移动。故选C。
【4】E根据上句:当他长大以后,他改进了蒸汽机,以至于它可以很轻松地做很多马做的工作。可知下句在说:当你看到一个汽船、蒸气机时,记得他很可能从来就没有被建造,如果没有艰苦思考的人。故选E。
【5】B根据上句:当你有一个困难的课程要学习时,不要感到气馁。在你请求别人帮助以前先要自己思考。因此可知下句在说:思考,通过思考你将学会如何思考一些目的。故选B。
