I thought of running away.”我也不例外。我想過逃跑；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?？芍?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髡邔戇@篇文章的目的是勸說人們面對(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)。即作者寫這篇文章的目的是說服別人。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 Failure is an unavoidable part of life. Though science has named some life skills that promise success, we39。re told over and over again that no great success was ever achieved without failure or many failed attempts. One of life39。s most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best. But what is the message? For starters, ignore advice from anyone that tells you, Don39。t beat yourself up about it, no matter how wellmeaning they are. According to the new research from the University of Kansas, we absolutely should be beating ourselves up when we fail. Marketing professor Noelle Nelson and her team found that the more emotional a person39。s response is to failure, the more likely they are to achieve better results the next time they deal with a related task. The researchers carried out two experiments in which undergraduate students were required to perform specific tasks. In one experiment, they were asked to search online for a squeezer and report the lowest price they could find with the possibility of winning a $50 cash prize. However, the task was controlled, and all participants were told (by a puter) that the lowest price was $ less than their reported price. Consequently, no participant won the cash prize. When the results were announced, some participants were asked to focus on their emotional response, and others on their cognitive (認(rèn)知的) response. During the next similar task, participants who focused on their emotional response to failure made more effort than those who focused on a cognitive response. Everybody has their own unique challenges, responsibilities, duties, and projects, but these findings are related to all of us. Your personal failure may be a cake that fails to rise, a presentation that goes wrong, or a deadline that gets missed—it doesn39。t matter. What matters is how you react to it. Instead of thinking about the failure, let yourself feel bad about it. Then follow this advice on how to bounce back after your failure.（1）What39。s the relationship between failure and success? promises success. is the key to success. does damage to success. failure is good for success.（2）Why does the writer support beating oneself up when failing? 39。s a wellmeaning suggestion for failure.39。s been proved by the study of a university. emotional is good for his future success. can make people less emotional about failure.（3）Which can be the best title for the passage? Failure Is a Cake That Fails to Appear Most Productive Way to Handle Any Failure Methods to Change Failure into Success Reason Why Failure Is the Mother of Success【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）B 【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章向讀者傳達(dá)了失敗乃是人生不可避免的一部分，但是如何處理失敗是很重要的。每次失敗后，我們應(yīng)該自責(zé)，自責(zé)能讓我們下次做得更好。 （1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的we39。re told over and over again that no great success was ever achieved without failure以及“One of life39。s most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best.（人生中很重要的一課是學(xué)會(huì)如何最好地處理失敗）”可知
