【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要通過三個例子來給我們講述了思考的重要作用。

【1】A前面提到：我將思考一下。說這個是很容易的。空格后面的意思是：我們不能看到我們的想法、或聽到、品嘗到、或感覺到它們。可知此處表達的意思是：但是你知道什么樣的偉大事情都來自思考嗎？故選A。

【2】F根據(jù)上一句：他看見一個蘋果從一棵樹上落下來。根據(jù)空格后一句：后來，他發(fā)現(xiàn)地球、太陽月亮和星星保存在他們的地方�？芍�此處表達的意思是：他開始思考，為什么蘋果落下來。故選F。

【3】C根據(jù)下句：他開思想。他想找出為什么水壺里的蒸汽移動了沉重的蓋子。可知上句在說：一個叫詹姆斯·瓦特的男孩安靜地坐在爐邊, 看著茶壺的蓋子,上下移動。故選C。

【4】E根據(jù)上句：當他長大以后，他改進了蒸汽機,以至于它可以很輕松地做很多馬做的工作�？芍�下句在說：當你看到一個汽船、蒸氣機時，記得他很可能從來就沒有被建造，如果沒有艱苦思考的人。故選E。

【5】B根據(jù)上句：當你有一個困難的課程要學習時，不要感到氣餒。在你請求別人幫助以前先要自己思考。因此可知下句在說：思考,通過思考你將學會如何思考一些目的。故選B。
