题目内容
6.Life can be so wonderful,full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges,setbacks and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances(境况),we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires-that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things,up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension(矛盾) between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering,the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us-the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you".
So,if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind-or the minds of those close to us-usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop,it's just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder,trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.
27.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we shouldC.
A.slow down and live a simple life
B.be careful when we choose to change
C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D.be satisfied with what we already have
28.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?B
A.To focus on every detail.
B.To decide and take immediate action.
C.To listen to those close to us.
D.To think twice before we act.
29.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?C
A.Escape from your punishment.
B.Realization of your dreams.
C.Freedom from your tension.
D.Reduction(减少) of your expectations.
30.What does the author intend to tell us?A
A.It's easier than we think to get what we want.
B.It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C.It's impractical to change our way of thinking.
D.It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.
分析 本文是一篇关于人生感悟的文章.人生充满了挑战和乐趣,同时也充满了挑战和挫折、心碎. 但是不管情况怎么样,我们仍然有梦想和希望.然而知道我们我们可以拥有更多也是一个问题,因为那会改变我们做事的方式,会阻止我们在第一时间去追求我们想要的东西.作者认为如果我们遇到挫折,那就重新选择目标,并且迅速作出决定.
解答 27.C 细节理解题.根据文章第一段第三句话"Whatever our circumstances,we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires"可知,不管在什么情况下,我们仍然有梦想和希望,以及第二段最后一句话"If you drop that,you begin to feel a little‘dead'inside because you're dropping‘you'."如果你放弃了,你的内在就会变得没有生机,因为你放下你"自己".由此可知,我们无论在什么情况下,都要坚持自己的梦想.所以本题选择C.
28.B 细节理解题.根据倒数第三段第一句Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.可以知道为了打破旧格局,需要决定一个新目标并且立刻做出决定.故选B
29.C 句意理解题.根据划线句子可知其本意是逃出你内心的牢笼.结合上文中Decide and act before overthinking在过多思考之前快速决定和行动可以推测这个划线句子是指要从过多考虑的焦虑中解放自己.故选C
30.A 推理断题.从全文来看,作者主要是想要强调果断的行动而不是空想来实现自己的梦想和欲望,故选A.

There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people,according to a new online poll.
The poll by China Daily in collaboration with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent over the country's widening income gap.
Nearly 8,000people filled in online questionnaires last week,and when asked to use three words to describe society's rich,the top responses were"extravagant","greedy"and"corrupt".
About 57percent of those polled said that"extravagant"was the best word to describe the rich,followed closely by"greedy".
Ironically,in spite of their dissatisfaction,93percent of those polled wished they could be rich too,and that richer people should be"socially responsible".
Around 33percent of respondents also praised rich people for being"smart".
Nearly 90percent of respondents agreed that most people in society,including themselves,were willing to speak up for the poor but were unwilling to take action and actually do something for them.
The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi,who said he was"speaking for the rich and working for the poor".
A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient(基尼系数)-an indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407in 1993to 0.473in 2004.
An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10percent of Chinese families now own more than 40percent of all private assets,while the poorest 10percent share less than 2percent of the total wealth.
The country's income disparity(悬殊) is close to that of Latin America,the report which came out in January,said.
