58、the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.”可知作者借助风筝告诉我们这样的生活哲理：规章制度是重要的，故选D。5A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But this morning I couldnt find his black mittens，so he had to wear a spare pair.He had slAimeed the door.”可知，因为手套的问题，Trevor生气地去上学了。6B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Mommy，Im sorry，he said.”可知，Trevor回来是为了向作者表示歉意的。7C词义猜测
59、题。根据划线词前面的“Yes？I whispered.I slowly lowered to my knees to be at his eye level.If I moved too quickly.”可知，由于Trevor很长时间不和作者进行交流，这次他突然回来，让作者感到非常吃惊，生怕自己行动快了，会摧毁这美好的一刻。8D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“And I will always be grateful to God for giving me this little spark of hope.”可知，作者对于儿子会有朝一日和父母进行交流感到有了一丝的希望。9A段落大意题。根据

64、将想象的东西变为现实后才走向成功的。25Adream与“imagination and belief”都属于思想意识，故选A项，下一句中的“imagination”也是暗示。26C从前文所举的例子看，那些伟人都是起始于想象力然后走向成功的。而宇宙总(always)会让人体验他们的想象力。这句话是对“And the universe let them experience their imagination.”的强调。27D这句话的意思是“宇宙都会让你体验到你的想象力，无论你想象的事情是什么”。此处为让步状语从句，从句中缺少表语，由句意可知，空格处意为“无论什么”，it指代前文的“your im
65、agination”，故用whatever。28C从下一句中的“.by forming them into experiences and objects.”可知，生活将你的意识形态中的影像在现实生活中表达(express)出来。29A由下文的“You experience your own thoughts”可知，你的想法所形成的经历或物品可以被体验到(experienced)。30B这里考查上下文的逻辑关系。你亲自体验你的想法，结果(so that)就是你会知道哪个想法更适合你的需要。as if好像；so that因此，以便，表示目的或结果；even if即使，表示让步；in case万一
66、，假使，表示目的或条件。31A从后半句“.that is how you experience yourself，and that is how you grow.”可知，这是你了解(know)你自己的方式。32D本段第二句中的“The force of life makes your thoughts known to yourself and everyone else by forming them into experiences and objects.”说明，拥有想象力你就可以体验到你的思想以及它带来的结果。enable sb.to do sth.使某人能够做某事。33A由上一句中
67、的“experience an idea”可得到提示。故选A项。34B从前文的“.are the prophecies(预言) of.”及后面表示时间的词tomorrow及today可知，通过观察今天你的内心自我可以预测(predict)明天的你的外在生活。35C前文讲到看着今天你的内心的自我就可以知道明天的你是什么样子，据此可知，改变(change)今天你的内心世界就可以改变你的明天。36D从后一句中的“.anything that influences your imagination.”可知，后文所列举的“past fears，desires.”都是影响(influence)你的想象力的
68、因素。37A前文所列举的“past fears，desires”及后文的“short of goals”都是消极的因素，据此可知选A项。38C由后文的“You can stop it.”可知，这些消极的因素能够得到你的控制(control)。circumstance条件，环境，状况；repair修理，补救；pressure压力。39B由后文的“And this is because awareness comes in as the key to.”可知，如果你意识(aware)到这些消极因素可以影响想象力，那么你可以阻止这些消极因素对想象力的影响。40B由语境知，此处指意识是你清除(clea
