【题目】 My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything. When he faced a problem, he always chose to complain about it instead of finding a way to solve it. That was not right. Ted was healthy and had received a good education. He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day, drifting from one job to another. One day, I read about a farmer called Chris and told Ted about him.
Chris works hard and performs many jobs around the farm. But Chris is not exactly like other farmers. What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.
Now, you may ask, is this possible? Like many other amazing people who have no arms or legs, Chris does not focus on what he can’t do, but rather on what he can do. And he can do a lot! He drives farm vehicles and looks after crops. Once you see Chris in action, you will think there is nothing he can’t do. Chris is a great example of a person who is making the most of his gifts. His positive attitude and courage make him a true inspiration.
After I told Ted about Chris, he became silent. Compared with Chris, Ted was much luckier. Then luckily, I saw Ted’s change. Do you like complaining? If you do, think about Chris. Such a man chooses to stay positive. Why don’t we?

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者的堂哥特德喜欢抱怨,作者给他讲了一个没有四肢的农民克里斯地故事,让他有了很大的变化。
【1】细节理解题。根据第一句“My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything”堂哥总是喜欢抱怨,所以作者给他讲了一个农民的故事。故选B。
【2】词义猜测题。根据“from one job to another”可知此处表示从一个换到另一个,drifting表示“转变,移动”,相当于changing。故选B。
【3】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Compared with Chris, Ted was much luckier”可知特德比克里斯要幸运一些。D表述错误。故选D。
【4】推理判断题。根据第一段“He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day”可知特德的问题是总是抱怨,他应该找一份好工作,努力工作养活自己。根据最后一段“Then luckily, I saw Teds change”可知特德发生了变化,推断他会找工作并努力工作。故选D。
【5】标题概括题。文章主要讲述的是克里斯的故事,作者以此来鼓励堂哥特德让他发生变化。根据“What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done”可知克里斯虽然没有四肢但是没有停止工作。根据“making the most of his gifts”,“positive attitude and courage”以及最后一段的总结“Such a man chooses to stay positive”可知作者通过讲述克里斯充分利用自己的天赋努力工作,他积极的态度和他的勇气,让大家学会珍惜自己所拥有的一切,而不是抱怨。由此可以概括出文章的标题是学会珍惜自己所拥有的一切。故选D。
