Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”
It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.

【解析】
试题分析:
【1】据第一段可知Tom得了癌症,并且经历了多次手术。属于同义重现故选A
【2】推理判断题 可以通过排除法解题。A选项我们可以从第三段"Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed."得知Tom的母亲本不想购买戏装,因为昂贵,得知A选项“是有钱人”错误;同时根据此句可得知B选项错误,属于无中生有,因为最后母亲同意购买戏装; C选项文章中未提及,故正确项为D。
【3】细节理解题 根据第四段第一句话appeared as the powerful Superman可以得出答案。另外,也可以通过排除法解答。选项A“假装疼痛”文章未提及,C“情绪低落”选项与文章表达不一致,D“和母亲争吵”文章未提及。属于同义重现。
【4】细节理解题 根据最后一段倒数第二句话"Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream."得知正确选项为C。属于原词重现。本解析为名师解析团队原创,授权独家使用,如有盗用,依法追责!
【5】写作目的题 文章出现最多的词是 imagination,所以答案自然要选含有这个词的选项了。此外,也可以根据第一段的第一句话Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.和最后一段的最后一句话So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.得出答案。属于原词重现。

An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺),much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a "social prosthetic (义肢的)system." Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.
Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a "new idea," I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).
But that’s the upside (好处). The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.

| ●The【1】can help make up for our mental and emotional deficiencies as a wooden leg can compensate for a bodily deficiency. |

【题目】阅读理解。
I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy (人生哲学): Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, don’t know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.
I can’t count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer (结结巴巴地说), “I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It’s just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.
Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I’m going to” , “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.
Now ... go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to … not something on your SHOULD DO list.
【1】The example of the writer’s sister serves as ________.
A. an argument B. an introduction
C. a support D. a conclusion
【2】The writer thinks that the excuse “It’s just Monday.” is acceptable, because _______.
A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later
B. it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses
C. it shows respect for the writer’s suggestion
D. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together
【3】The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “________” .
A. appropriate B. influential
C. practical D. evident
【4】What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?
A. To suggest how time flies in our life.
B. To persuade busy people to relax after work.
C. To advise people to keep their promise to ourselves.
D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.
