【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move 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.

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錯誤的決定。我現(xiàn)在準備好面對失敗了。可知當伊拉克和科威特之間的戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)時，作者感到?jīng)]有信心。故選A。 （3）考查詞義猜測。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”可知當事情變得困難，每一次努力似乎都會帶來失望，它可能會降低你的期望，甚至降低你的目標和抱負。故可推測劃線短語意思為削弱，與C選項含義接近。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)歷才能使人堅強。失敗并不意味著你永遠不會成功。這意味著它將花費更長的時間。它給我們提供了一個學習的經(jīng)驗?？芍髡邔戇@篇文章的目的是勸說人們面對挑戰(zhàn)或失敗時要大膽去對應，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。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 We all long for friendship, but how to make a friend?
