In my way of thinking, that39。s a miracle.”可知，智者給作者說 的話對(duì)他接下來幾天要做的決定提供了清晰的思路和暗示的提醒。故選B。 （5）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段，針對(duì)我們當(dāng)下不同的需求，奇跡時(shí)時(shí)處處都以不同原因存在著。我們的工作不是質(zhì)疑這些離奇的事情，更多的是接受生活帶給我們的這些禮物。故選A。 （6）考查推理判斷。從智者的行為“ing down from the top of this historic mountain”下山；和智者對(duì)作者說的話“Sometimes you don39。t know what you have lost until you39。ve lost it. ”在失去前你不知道你得到了什么可推斷，智者告訴作者要珍惜現(xiàn)在所擁有的。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，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 My family lives in Texas. I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave! I realized this after pleting my first year173。year internship(實(shí)習(xí)期) I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big pany from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if l could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready. There was just one problem: I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party. But you know I39。m the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed. Although the legal department didn39。t have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great pany in San Francisco, I39。m incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas. By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you39。ll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.（1）The author went to Dallas to in 2011.
