Question

【题目】 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.

Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹) also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the stories, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.

One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!

My personal favorite game was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.

Since then, I have seen many great things and met many amazing people. The elements of fun and varieties of my creative imaginations are what I try to bring into every part of my positive life. So I can enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people’s stories, too.

【解析】

本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。想象力是人类创新的源泉，是创造的动力，会影响一个人的人生态度。“我”的童年就是一段充满想象力的美好岁月。“我”现在的积极人生态度都得益于此。

【1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，作者小时候曾经想象过自己未来成为宇航员、西部牛仔、足球运动员。由此可知，作者小时候对未来有着美好的憧憬，故选C。

【2】词义猜测题。由第一段可知，作者小时候想象自己从事某些职业。再根据划线词所在句I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day.(我能够在我的头脑中创造出完整的环境和scenarios，只用我的大脑，并且能够在我的日常环境中调整事物以适应当天的具体情况)可知，作者在大脑中构思各种各样的境况。故选B。

【3】推理判断题。根据第三段中的I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person.可知，我扮演《夺宝奇兵》中的角色，这部电影在电影院里赚了一大笔钱，我的妹妹是我的助手，我的哥哥是一个坏人。由此可知，《夺宝奇兵》是当时一部很热门的影片。故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。在文章最后一段作者描述了自己小时候丰富的想象力对现在生活的影响，文中So I enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people's stories, too.(所以我喜欢分享和也喜欢听别人的故事)表明，作者与他人相处很好，乐观生活，这些都归功于“我创造性的想象力”。选项A. My Creative Imagination.(我创造性的想象力)作为本文的标题最为合适。故选A。
