题目内容
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase(短语) that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.

解析试题分析:本文叙述了我们可能会在任何时候犯错误。我们有一些关于钱的错误。但是大多数都是关于人与人的误解。有时朋友表达的意思并非是他表面上的意思,而是隐藏在背后的意思。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen? When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad.他感觉他的朋友不理解他, 故选B。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据"You're a lucky dog"不就用来指人了吗?所以,这是个明显错误的答案。 这道题也有很多同学选择B:这句谚语的意思是你是个幸运的家伙。但是第二段特别比较了”you’re a lucky dog “和”You’re a lucky guy”这两句话的区别。后者是衷心祝福,友好的,而前者There's a bit of envy in those words(有一点嫉妒的意味),所以不能选择B。故选D。
【小题3】主旨大意题。根据我们通过略读找到的位于段落开头的三个段落主题句,可以发现答案是C。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据并非每一人都应该相信,故选D。
考点:人生百味类短文阅读。
点评:主旨大意题要识别和理解主题句,可迅速准确地抓住短文的中心思想,从而把握住全篇的主要内容。在确定文章的主旨思想时,选项的内容既不能太具体也不能太笼统。
We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.
Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.
Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient(成分,尤指烹饪) makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.
Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.
