Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】F

【3】G

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】试题分析：人生要成功，我们要对自己有正确的理解。文章中给出了四个了解自我的建议。

【1】D 根据第一句In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.在我们的一生中，我们和自己在一起的时间最多，但是我们似乎并没有真正理解自己。所以才会有文章的标题“Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself彻底了解自己”故D项“But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.”符合文章的中心思想。

【2】F 根据本段第一句When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. 当我们向上攀登的时候，我们会高估我们自己。只有当我们下山的时候，我们才会对自己的能力有充分的理解。F项“When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.”中“downhill”与前文upwards相呼应。

【3】G 本段的标题是Gain a correct view of oneself.要对自己有正确的理解。说明本段主要叙述了解自我的作用。只有G项“So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.了解了自我，就没有什么克服不利的困难”与本段中心思想一致。

【4】A 本段标题是“Self-appreciate”自我欣赏，也就是说我们要欣赏自我。再根据横线前句Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature.不管你是参天大树还是路边的小石子。你都有自己的存在价值，都要有恰当的自我欣赏。故A项“It has its own value.”符合上下文串联。

【5】B 根据本段中In time of anger, do yourself a favor .....in time of sadness、do yourself a favor......和in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor.....；可知本段主要介绍的是在需要的时候do yourself a favor。故B正确。
