【解析】

这是一篇说明文。一个充满热情、意志坚定、准备迎接生活磨难的人，是我们都想成为的人。如果你想成为那样的人，那么你的第一步就是永远保持灵感。文章告诉我们需要保持灵感的四个原因。

【1】

结合后文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/她是一个每天醒来都比第二天更有灵感的人。灵感会带你去任何你想去的地方。由此可知，本句是在引出后文一个有灵感的人是不会在挑战面前退缩的人。故G选项“一个有灵感的人是不会在挑战面前退缩的人”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【2】

本句为第一段最后一句，有启示下文的作用，结合后文主要说明了需要保持灵感的四个原因，故F选项“以下是你应该一直保持灵感的另外四个原因”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【3】

根据后文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.可知我会给你们一些改变历史道路的人的名字，让你们确定他们是否受到了启发。Albert Einstein，Steve Jobs， Theresa修女。由此可知，后文列举了有灵感改变了世界的人，那么本句应当是在引出下文，指出缺乏灵感的人很少能改变世界。故A选项“缺乏灵感的人很少能改变世界”符合上下文语境，故选A。

【4】

根据本段内容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被一个伟大的社交网络的潜力所启发。四位英国音乐家受到启发创作了伟大的音乐，从而创造了Beatles乐队。Socrates受到自己好奇心的启发，最终创立了我们今天所知的西方哲学。由此可知，后文这些著名人物的例子说明：灵感是一切伟大成就的必要因素，没有灵感就不会有伟大的成就。故D选项“没有灵感就不会有伟大的成就”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【5】

根据小标题Inspiration and genius—one and the same.(灵感和天才是一体)以及后文In fact, many who we consider geniuses today were nothing more than extremely inspired individuals.可知事实上，许多我们今天认为是天才的人只不过是极具灵感的个人。由此可知，本句是在说明天才不必非的是智商非常高的人。故E选项“你不必智商达到150才被认为是天才”符合上下文语境，故选E。
