【解析】試題分析：今日事今日畢，不要總把事情推到明天。文章對(duì)其原因進(jìn)行了論述。

【1】D考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上句講明天經(jīng)常是最忙的。下句講我要說很多次。D項(xiàng)：有多少次我們把夢(mèng)想推到了明天？連接上下，根據(jù)上句的話題和下句的回答可知選D.

【2】B考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段內(nèi)容主要講明天是不可預(yù)測(cè)的，誰都不知道明天會(huì)發(fā)生什么。B項(xiàng)適合作為本段標(biāo)題，故選B.

【3】E考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段講每個(gè)人的獨(dú)特性，世界在等每個(gè)不同的人。E項(xiàng)：你是世界獨(dú)特的禮物沒有人能夠復(fù)制，符合本段文意，故選E.

【4】G考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段在講要想有大的成功就必須有一個(gè)踏實(shí)的開始，想當(dāng)作家也好想治愈癌癥也好。G項(xiàng)：如果不邁出第一步你的夢(mèng)想永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。符合本段文意，故選G.

【5】C考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上文兩個(gè)例子：想寫名著要先拿筆去寫，要治愈癌癥就要先學(xué)習(xí)相關(guān)知識(shí)，C項(xiàng)：換句話說只有你去做夢(mèng)想才會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)，是對(duì)上面例子的概括總結(jié)，故選C.
