A.achieves
B.will achieve
C.is achieved
D.will be achieved

3.D

【分析】首先，明确句子是if引导的条件状语从句复合句，需遵循“主将从现”的时态规则；其次，判断主语（指代dream的it）与动词achieve的逻辑关系，梦想是“被实现”，需使用被动语态，结合时态规则即可推导答案。
【解析】1. 时态判定：if引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时（stick），主句需用一般将来时，排除一般现在时的A（主动）、C（被动）；2. 语态判定：主语it是动作achieve的承受者，需用被动语态，一般将来时的被动结构为“will be + 过去分词”，因此选D。
【答案】D
【知识点】一般将来时被动语态、条件状语从句时态
【点评】本题结合条件状语从句时态规则与被动语态考查，需掌握“主将从现”及被动语态的适用场景，是初中英语高频考点。

D.what it would be like

4.D

【分析】这道题考查宾语从句的用法，解题思路分两步：第一步，宾语从句必须使用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语”的结构，据此排除疑问语序的选项；第二步，根据主句时态确定从句时态，主句为一般过去时，从句需对应使用过去的时态，结合语境选出正确选项。
【解析】1. 宾语从句语序规则：宾语从句需用陈述语序（主语在前、谓语在后）。选项B（what will it be like）和C（what would it be like）均为疑问语序（助动词提前），不符合要求，排除B、C。2. 宾语从句时态呼应：主句谓语wondered是一般过去时，从句需用过去的某种时态。选项A用一般将来时will，不符合时态要求；选项D用过去将来时would，契合“过去想知道过去将来的情况”的语境，且为陈述语序，因此选D。
【答案】D
【知识点】宾语从句（语序、时态）
【点评】本题聚焦宾语从句的核心考点（陈述语序与时态呼应），是初中英语高频基础题，需熟练掌握宾语从句的两大关键规则，规避语序和时态的常见错误。

【解析】先解读对话语境：前者多次失败想放弃，后者回应“坚持住，________，你的努力会有回报”，空缺处需填鼓励坚持、契合努力终将成功的谚语。逐一分析选项：A选项“All roads lead to Rome”意为“条条大路通罗马”，侧重成功的路径多样；B选项“Actions speak louder than words”意为“行动胜于雄辩”，侧重行动的重要性；C选项“Time waits for no man”意为“时间不等人”，侧重珍惜时间；D选项“Where there's a will, there's a way”意为“有志者事竟成”，强调只要有意志坚持就能成功，完全符合语境，因此选D。

三、信息还原
I was looking at an apple seed in my hand. This tiny seed could grow into a big tree that produces thousands of apples. And thousands of apples, each with several seeds, could in turn grow into new trees that also produce countless apples. So why isn't the whole world covered with apple trees? 1. And most other seeds never do—or are destroyed early in their growth.
I placed the apple seed on the table and stared (盯) at it. 2. How many times must they try to make a seed grow? How much effort does it take?
3. The seeds of your dreams do not grow by themselves. Like planting an apple tree, it may take many tries. You may feel worried, stressed or even want to give up.
4. And after that, others will call you lucky—though you have probably failed more times than you can count. But you are good at failing: you learn, you change, and with new wisdom you try again. And again. And again. Until one day, success is yours.
I picked up the apple seed once more. I took an empty flower pot, added some soil, and planted the seed. Maybe one day it will grow into a tree. 5.
A. And I'll never know if I don't try.
B. Maybe it is just like your dreams.
C. This time I didn't throw the seed away.
D. I thought deeply about how people grow apples.
E. It is a rule of nature that only a few seeds grow.
F. Apple trees need much sunlight and water to grow well.
G. But if you keep planting the seeds of your dream, one day you will succeed.

【分析】
做信息还原题需分析每个空格前后的语境、逻辑关系，匹配对应选项：1空前文提出疑问“为什么世界没被苹果树覆盖”，后文说明大部分种子无法生长，需衔接“少数种子能生长”的内容；2空前文是“盯着苹果种子”，后文询问种苹果的尝试次数，需衔接“思考种苹果的方式”；3空后文围绕“梦想的种子”展开，需将苹果种子与梦想类比；4空后文提到“成功”，需衔接“坚持种梦想种子会成功”的内容；5空前文说“种了种子”，需衔接“不试就不知道结果”的内容。
【解析】
1. 第1空：前文提出“为什么世界没被苹果树覆盖”的疑问，后文说明大部分种子无法生长，E项“自然规律只有少数种子生长”恰好解释疑问，衔接上下文，故选E。
2. 第2空：前文描述“盯着苹果种子”，后文询问种苹果的尝试次数与努力，D项“我思考人们如何种苹果”承接上文的种子，引出下文关于种苹果的思考，故选D。
3. 第3空：后文围绕“梦想的种子”展开，B项“也许它就像你的梦想”将苹果种子与梦想类比，自然过渡到主题，故选B。
4. 第4空：后文提到“成功是你的”，G项“但如果你坚持种梦想的种子，终会成功”与后文呼应，点明坚持的结果，故选G。
5. 第5空：前文说“种了种子”，A项“不试就永远不知道”承接上文的行动，表达对结果的未知，故选A。
