题目内容
12.You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place."They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering."They"are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as"they"are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems,thus internalizing(内化)your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they don't let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses,yet they don't blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish (沉溺)in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims,too.Creators consciously choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but all around them.Both victims ad creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

解答 ACBAD
41.答案 A 细节理解题.题目问的是:"文章第一段中的they指的是什么"作者用在文章第一段的第二、三句话中提到:"When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place."They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering."(当你选择成为一个悲观者时,你面前的整个世界就会成为一个寒冷的和艰难的地方."他们"对你做过的事情都会造成你所有的痛苦和折磨.).显然这里的"they"就指的是"the world",即你周围的一切--所有的人和事.故选A.
42.答案 C 推理判断题.题目问的是:"根据文章第二段内容,一个乐观者会怎样?"作者在文章的第二自然段阐述了一个乐观主义者的人生态度:"…他们知道有些人也许想控制他们的生活,但是他们不会让这样的事情发生.他们知道他们有自身的弱点,但当失败时他们不会责怪自己.不管发生什么,他们坚信自己都有选择的余地."作者的话告诉我们,乐观者会坦然对待人生中的跌宕起伏,C选项与此意吻合,为正确答案.
43.答案 B 推理判断题.作者在第三自然段分别举例说明乐观者和悲观者由于对待事物的态度不同,造成了不同的生活结局,因此从某种意义上来说,他们都是自己生活道路选择上的主宰者.据此判断选B.
44.答案 A 推理判断题.题目问的是:"第四段中所举的例子说明什么?"作者在文章第四段第二句举例说:"One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.(如果一个人,在失去一份工作或一种特殊的关系时,觉得这是世界末日,他就会陷入可怕的痛苦中,持续数月、数年,甚至一生.)"这说明过分沉溺于痛苦之中会使人成为一个悲观者而无法自拔,A选项与此意相近,是正确答案.
45.答案D 写作意图题.在文章的最后一段,作者说:"In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are(在任何时刻和任何情况下,你都可以选择过一种更饱满、更充实的生活,你可以通过设定一个明确的生活目标来转换内心深处的悲观情绪,或通过将你原有的强大的乐观情绪带入你的生活之中来实现它.)"由此可见,作者是提倡一个人经过努力,可以实现从悲观者转化为乐观者,D选项与此意相符,是正确答案.
点评 1、浏览.浏览的主要目的就是确定文章的体裁.如果文章属于人物传记、记叙文、故事、科普小品和有关社会文化、文史知识的文章,一般来说,应该先看看文章的试题考查内容,对题目类型做到心中有数,针对不同问题,在通读时有粗有细地去阅读,这样不仅能把握篇章的基本结构和逻辑线索,也能做好有关具体事实信息考查的试题.
2、挖掘寓意,掌握中心思想,推出结论.任何文章,作者在行文时都有一定的写作目的和主要话题.在通读篇章时应该吃透作者的写作意图,抓住文章的主题句,充分发挥自己的想象力和概括力,作出对中心思想的归纳和结论的推断.
3、把握篇章结构,利用上下文进行推测.高考中的阅读理解篇章往往是一个较完整的短文,其结构、思想,前后上下连贯统一.考试时应充分利用这一特点推测一些生词、短语在句中的含义,切莫盲目孤立猜测.
4、综观全篇,前后呼应.这是阅读理解的最后一步,在做完阅读理解题后,要立足于文章整体,再迅速读一遍短文,短文中的问题和答案的设置前后都是相关联的,有着一定的连续性,体现着文章的基本脉络.
