Question

【题目】Life is comprised emotion and sense. When we were babies we reached the pinnacle(顶峰) of emotion. At that time we asked for everything that we wanted, cried as we were uncomfortable, laughed as we were happy and released our emotions day and night. When we grow up we find that if we want to live in a cozier environment we must be sensible enough to deal with our emotions and relationships. Our world is based on sense and beautified by emotion.

Sense is the base of life; it builds up the structure of life, and helps us see the real world. And emotion is the invaluable element of life. It adds colorful paint to our life. Lacking sense we may lose the guiding light and lacking emotion we may lose the value of life.

We admire Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, we are attracted by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Man, and we are carried away by Monet’s Lotus. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet may bring us tears, Victor Hugo’s poems can make a maid’s love revive, and Jane Austin’s stories arouse our dream of holding a party of ladies and gentlemen as an England beauty in the countryside. All of them are people who deserve our respect and showed us sentimental emotion: love, hatred, betrayal, loyalty and so on. They made their works full of emotion, shocked our nerves, and evoked our passions. Somebody may have found their destiny in these works, and surely they influence people time after time. But in fact, though these people or their works have the power to control our mental world, we don’t choose them to be our President or Prime Minister. We cannot deny the fact that our world is based on sense and ration. Mark Twain once said that the passion of friendship is so sweet, steady and royal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime if neither of the two friends asks the other to lend money.

Emotion is our nature and sense gives us an eye to live in reality. Only sense makes Jack a dull boy; emotional moments give us vigor and enthusiasm to live and color our life.

【解析】本文讲述了我们的世界是以理性和感觉为基础的，生命是由情感和感觉构成的。情感是我们的天性，理智给予我们真实的生活。虽然有些人有些事能够控制我们的精神世界，但控制不了我们的理智。

【1】细节理解题。由“ Lacking sense we may lose the guiding light and lacking emotion we may lose the value of life.”失去感觉我们可能失去了指路的明灯，失去情感，我们可能失去生命的价值。可知两者是同样重要的。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。列举“Creation of Man, and we are carried away by Monet’s Lotus. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet may bring us tears, Victor Hugo’s poems can make a maid’s love revive, and Jane Austin’s stories arouse our dream ”我们钦佩达芬奇的蒙娜丽莎，我们被米切朗基罗的创造所吸引，我们被莫尼特的莲花带走了。莎士比亚的罗密欧和朱丽叶可能给我们带来眼泪，维克多·雨果的诗可以使少女的爱复活，简爱的故事唤起了我们的梦想，可知这些作品带给我们感伤的情感：爱、恨、背叛、忠诚等等，让我们体验不同的情感，所以没有感情的生活是不会快乐的，故选D。

【3】主旨大意题。纵观全文，再根据倒数第二段“We cannot deny the fact that our world is based on sense and ration. ”我们不能否认这样一个事实：我们的世界是以理性和理性为基础的。可知C符合题意，故选C。
