【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 there. I was now ready to face failure. I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over. Success es to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.（1）The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor39。s viewpoint is ________. A.offering analysesB.providing explanationsC.making parisonsD.giving examples（2）How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out? A.UnconfidentB.IndifferentC.NervousD.Calm（3）What does the underlined phrase water down in the 4th paragraph probably mean? A.get rid ofB.smooth awayC.make less forcefulD.improve on（4）The author39。s purpose of writing the passage is most likely to ________. A.informB.persuadeC.describeD.entertain【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者的教授曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)，任何害怕失敗和害怕面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)的人永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)嘗到成功的滋味。作者當(dāng)時(shí)不以為然當(dāng)，直到自己親身經(jīng)歷了失敗和挑戰(zhàn)后，作者才意識(shí)到人們面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)或失敗時(shí)要大膽應(yīng)對(duì)，保持積極的心態(tài)。 （1）考查推理判斷。一開(kāi)始介紹了作者的教授提出的一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，但是作者當(dāng)時(shí)不以為然，直到在今后實(shí)際生活中真正遇到了失敗或挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)才認(rèn)識(shí)到了教授的觀點(diǎn)。下文主要通過(guò)自己的親身經(jīng)歷闡述了自己的觀點(diǎn)，即通過(guò)舉例說(shuō)明的方式。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“I was no exception. I thought of running away.”我也不例外。我想過(guò)逃跑；以及第五段中的“I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.”我覺(jué)得搬到那里去是一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的決定。我現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備好面對(duì)失敗了。可知當(dāng)伊拉克和科威特之間的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)爆發(fā)時(shí)，作者感到?jīng)]有信心。故選A。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第四段中的“things bee difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even”可知當(dāng)事情變得困難，每一次努力似乎都會(huì)帶來(lái)失望，它可能會(huì)降低你的期望，甚至降低你的目標(biāo)和抱負(fù)。故可推測(cè)劃線短語(yǔ)意思為削弱，與C選項(xiàng)含義接近。故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Success es to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.”成功屬于那些即使在失敗之后仍敢積極思考并充滿信心地展望未來(lái)的人。畢竟，只有經(jīng)歷才能使人堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。失敗并不意味著你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成功。這意味著它將花費(fèi)更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。它給我們提供了一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)?？芍髡邔?xiě)這篇文章的目的是勸說(shuō)人們面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)或失敗時(shí)要大膽去對(duì)應(yīng)，保持積極的心態(tài)。即作者寫(xiě)這篇文章的目的是說(shuō)服別人。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 I39。m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We39。d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange s, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me. Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they39。re thrown in my face like TV mercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities. Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you39。d find him warm, and downtoearth. Read his Facebook and you realize he39。s an unbearable, foodobsessed bore. He39。d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it. Take Andy. You won39。t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he39。s a CEO without a pany to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He39。s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he39。s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you39。ve run four panies — and this is how you spend your downtime(業(yè)余時(shí)間)? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job? Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine(甲流疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then es Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter. In real life, I don39。t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They39。re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong. I39。m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the antivaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he39。s at a party and the wine isn39。t up to his standards?（1）What39。s Andy probably busy in doing now? A.He39。s running his pany.B.He39。s playing golf all day.C.He39。s looking for another job.D.He39。s playing puter games.（2）Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text? A.Fred.B.Andy.C.Liz.D.Chris.（3）According to the text, Facebook tends to ______. A.present another side of people
