Question

【題目】① “I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? Though we cannot see, or hear, or feel our thoughts, they have great power!

② Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall

from a tree. He began to think, and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how

the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and stars are kept in their places.

③ James Ferguson once saw the inside of his father’s watch, and he wondered, “Why should I not make a watch?” This set him thinking and it led to a wooden clock which kept good time.

④ Walt Disney, the famous American film-maker, was often thinking of new ideas. One

day, when he was at a meeting, he suddenly stopped talking, deep in thought. He looked at a place high up in the room for a long time, and then he got an idea for a new cartoon.

⑤ Ideas come at any time, and the important thing is to think. When you meet with any

difficulty, don’t lose heart. Try to think of it before asking someone to help you. Think and by

thinking you will learn how to think creatively.

【解析】你知道嗎，我們的思想有著偉大的力量，我們通過思考可以產(chǎn)生新的想法。例如牛頓，例如James Ferguson，例如Walt Disney，他們都是善于思考的人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中He began to think, and tried to find out why the apple fell.可知，當(dāng)牛頓看到蘋果掉下來的時候，他開始思考，想要查明為什么蘋果會下落。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中James Ferguson once saw the inside of his father’s watch……This set him thinking and it led to a wooden clock which kept good time.可知，是James Ferguson制作了一個木頭的鐘表。故應(yīng)選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中One day, when he was at a meeting, he suddenly stopped talking, deep in thought. He looked at a place high up in the room for a long time, and then he got an idea for a new cartoon可知，Walt Disney在開會的時候，突然有了一個新的想法。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【4】推理判斷題。這篇短文第一段中提到but do you know what great things have come from thinking?偉大的事情都來源于思考。最后一段Ideas come at any time, and the important thing is to think再次強(qiáng)調(diào)了這一點，文章中還列舉了很多名人的例子要印證這一點。由此可知思考有助于產(chǎn)生新的想法，故應(yīng)選D。

【5】主旨大意題。這個題目問的是這篇短文的結(jié)構(gòu)，短文一共有五段，第一段提出了作者的觀點，即great things have come from thinking。第二、三、四三段給我們舉了三個名人的例子，他們都是在思考中有了新的想法。最后一段再次重申主題。故這篇短文的結(jié)構(gòu)是總分總的關(guān)系，應(yīng)選A。
