题目内容
【题目】As school kids, we might have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?
Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge, you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can realize their dreams. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You should never give up your dream easily.
There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

【解析】
本文主要讲述了作为学生我们的梦想，以及怎么实现我们的梦想。
【1】细节理解题。从文中“The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.”可知当我们有了梦想之后，我们要做的第一件事就是记住我们的梦想是什么， 故选D。
【2】词义猜测题。从上文语境“you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.”可知这是一种想法，思想，故猜出thought 的意思是想法，故选A。
【3】主旨大意题。“Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?”以及“Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life’s biggest challenge”可以看出作者的主要目的是让我们实现梦想，故选C。
【4】细节理解题。从文中“But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.”可知最大的困难来自于我们自己，是因为我们需要决定什么是最重要。 故选B。
【5】推理判断题。从文中倒数第二段“Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day.” 可以判断A选项不正确。第三段中“Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews”可知Andrew Matthews 确实是一个美国作家，但是这并不是我们从文中学到的，而是作者直接告诉我们的客观情况，故B不正确。从最后一段“There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.”可知D不正确，故选C。
在做词义猜测题时，在理解整篇文章大意的同时，仔细阅读所猜测词义前后的句子非常重要，他们的词义通常会在前后文中以同义的词或句子或短语的形式出现，或以定语从句的形式加以解释。例如第3小题，从上文语境“you may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.”可知这是一种想法，思想，故猜出thought 的意思是想法，故选A。
