On Making Ourselves More Special39。s Admit That We Are Not That Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，是特殊或者不是？我們要教會(huì)孩子理解它。作者認(rèn)為真正的問(wèn)題是年輕人不知道如何現(xiàn)實(shí)地評(píng)估自己的能力。想要變得特別，我們需要對(duì)自己誠(chéng)實(shí)和他人對(duì)我們的誠(chéng)實(shí)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“But lost in the uproar （喧囂）was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they39。re particularly talented or acplished or not. In our eagerness to elevate their selfesteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities”,可知作者認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該在喧囂之后記住：現(xiàn)在的年輕人不知道他們究竟有沒(méi)有天賦，其根本原因是他們不知道如何實(shí)際地評(píng)估自己的能力。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“suffer from a “dual burden: they39。re not good at what they do, and their very clumsiness prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.”得低分的學(xué)生遭受著雙重負(fù)擔(dān)，即他們不擅長(zhǎng)自己所做的，并且他們的笨拙讓他們無(wú)法意識(shí)到自己有多差。由此可推斷，得高分的學(xué)生擅長(zhǎng)自己所作的。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“First, we can learn to make honest parisons with others. 和Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you39。re doing, but just what it is that you39。re doing wrong.”可知我們要學(xué)會(huì)誠(chéng)實(shí)地將自己和他人進(jìn)行比較，也需要一個(gè)人將我們做的不好的，以及做錯(cuò)了什么如實(shí)相告。由此可推測(cè)變得特別的策略表明我們需要對(duì)自己誠(chéng)實(shí)，也需要?jiǎng)e人對(duì)我們誠(chéng)實(shí)。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段“If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won39。t need parents, or a mencement (畢業(yè)典禮)speaker, to tell them that they39。re special. They39。ll already know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.”可知教會(huì)了孩子文中提到的策略，孩子就可以知道他們自己是否特別，或者已經(jīng)在變得特別的路上。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don39。t even have to be the target of the had behavior, stated a researcher. The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to plete online surveys over a 10day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up。 and in the evening, they described their experiences over the course of that day. Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language. Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day, and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves. They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants pleted an evaluation that measured their selfconfidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness. Consequently, one of the researchers remended that panies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness, provide plenty of positive reinforcement (強(qiáng)化) and build a civil workplace environment. This, in turn, could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness.（1）What is Paragraph 1 intended to show?
