[第二单元]; 第5小题：C 主旨题。做主旨题时，一定要通读全文，把握中心思想。所谓中心思想，是与作者态度相关的概念，是指对核心概念的总的观点或评价，因而抓住中心的关键在于思考三个问题：1）文章核心的概念；2）文章主要叙述的内容；3）作者大致的态度。在此文中，文章的核心概念为―daydream/daydreaming‖（做白日梦，幻想，空想），主要叙述的内容是当今所发现的空想、幻想的好处，故可排除选项A）和D）；纵观全文，作者对核心概念和所叙述的内容呈倾向性的肯定态度（体现在―may‖一词的多次反复使用上），而非明确的积极肯定态度，故排除B）。答案为C）。

When I was young, I would twirl around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. For hours I would dance as if people were watching me. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, ―I don’ know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. Besides, you don’t have the talent to even be a ballerina.‖ I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

When they were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life.

I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there and stare at my reflection. There I was, looked nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer.
As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It’s not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, ―You can’t do it.‖ When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can’t settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now to
o. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and wiser, I look at how God sees me. [共5题]
