Answer 1

【答案】

【2】find out

【3】treasure

【4】give up

【5】problems

【解析】

本文主要描述了《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》这本书的故事梗概以及阅读建议。

【1】句意：这个寓意就是跟随你的本心寻找你的梦想。

your你的，形容词性物主代词，后接名词。结合句意，应是寻找梦想。故填dreams。

【2】句意：他开始做奇怪的梦，于是他去找了一个吉普赛人，想知道梦的意思。

根据下文“The Gypsy tells him that he needs to go to the Egyptian pyramids to find his treasure.”吉普赛人告诉Santiago梦的意思，可知Santiago去找吉普赛人的目的就是为了查明梦的意思，查明find out。故填find out。

【3】句意：吉普赛人告诉他，他需要去埃及金字塔找他的宝藏。

根据第一段末尾“go to find his treasure.”，可知他是要去埃及找宝藏。故填treasure。

【4】句意：最后Santiago决定放弃牧羊人的生活，去寻找他的宝藏。

根据前文“Santiago who lives in Spain and works as a shepherd”以及“he needs to go to the Egyptian pyramids to find his treasure”，可知Santiago之前是个生活在西班牙的牧羊人，而他现在要去埃及找宝藏，那他只能放弃牧羊人的工作。故填give up。

【5】句意：Santiago在旅途中遇到了很多问题。

many后接可数名词复数，结合句意，在旅途中他是遇到了很多问题。故填problems。
