Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【解析】

本篇诗歌告诉我们，身边的人看起来好像有“前后”之分，其实每个人都有自己的人生节奏。不要嫉妒也别嘲笑别人，每个人在跟随自己的节奏，生命就是等待正确的行动时机，你没有落后，也没有提前，只是活在属于你的节奏中！

【1】推理判断题。上文“Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50”根据文字表达的逻辑关系，可知下文指有的在50岁时成为首席执行官、活到90岁，推断空格指活到90岁；故选C。

【2】主旨大意题。本篇诗歌告诉我们，人生没有所谓的 “前后”之分，其实每个人都有自己的人生节奏。生命就是等待正确的行动时机，你没有落后也提前，只是活在属于你的节奏中，所以不要别急，按着自己步伐走。故选D。

本篇是阅读单选，考查推理判断和综合归纳能力。解答前要先快速阅读全文，理解大意；再阅读题干，正确理解题干的要求；然后回归原文，寻找有用信息作答；题1根据诗歌文体的特征，上下文表达同类的内容，就可以推断空格的信息；题2要理解整首诗的含义，揣摩作者的写作意图。
