“I want to become a spaceman to explore the universe.”When you are thinking like this, you are “Thinking Big”. Thinking big means aiming to achieve a lot. It helps you realize your dreams. So, how can you think big? 1
Think like a kid.Kids are curious about everything.They are always asking big questions like “Can I invent a magic mirror to see the future?”Think like a kid,and you will push yourself to have big ideas.
Set clear goals. Without goals, big ideas are nearly daydreams. 2 They guide you to your destinations (目的地). After you set goals, you know exactly what to do and where to go. The clearer your goals are, the better thinker you will be.
3 Without challenges,there will never be big ideas.Without challenges,there will never be much progress.Picture your challenges in your head,and you will think big and get unexpected solutions.
Think of a better world. A better world needs everyone's efforts.But remember that thinking big isn't about being famous as a single person. 4

解析:选D。前文提出“怎样才能树立远大志向呢?”这一问题,后文紧接着列举了“像孩子一样思考”“设定明确目标”等具体方法。选项D“Here are some useful ways to help you.(这里有一些对你有帮助的方法。)”起到了承上启下的过渡作用,既回应了前文的问题,又引出了下文的具体内容,符合语境逻辑。
2.2.
A
B
C
D
解析:选C。本段核心话题是“设定明确目标”,前文提到“没有目标,宏伟的想法几乎就是白日梦”,后文则说“它们(目标)指引你抵达目的地”。选项C“Goals are just like road maps.(目标就像路线图。)”运用比喻,将目标与路线图联系起来,既呼应了“目标”这一核心词,又与后文“指引方向”的作用相契合,使段落逻辑连贯。
3.3.
A
B
C
D
解析:选B。空格处为段落首句,通常是本段的主题句,需概括段落核心内容。后文反复强调“没有挑战,就不会有宏伟构想和进步”“在脑海中勾勒挑战会带来远见”,核心话题是“挑战”。选项B“Imagine your challenges.(想象你的挑战。)”直接点出本段主题,能够总领全段内容,符合主题句的特征。
4.4.
A
B
C
D
解析:选E。前文提到“树立远大志向并非指个人要成名”,句中“isn't about...”暗示后文会用“it is about...”进行补充说明,明确“树立远大志向”的真正含义。选项E“It is about aiming high for the whole world.(而是要为整个世界设定高远的目标。)”承接前文的转折,且与本段“为更美好的世界着想”的核心话题一致,语义衔接自然。
