【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 membered a tip I39。d heard from my former boss. He39。d said, I39。m going to use a password to change my life. I couldn39。t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldn39。t notice them. My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn39。t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r. I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my puter would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would e back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my exwife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free. One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal. One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand. Guess where I went three months later: Thailand. Seeing how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it39。s sometimes difficult to e up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results. Here is a simplified extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method: Forgive@h3r To my exwife, who started it all. Quit@smoking4ever it worked. Save4trip@thailand it worked. Eat2times@day it never worked, still fat. Sleep@before12 it worked. Ask@her4date it worked. I fell in love again.

My password reminded me that I shouldn39。t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. ”我的密碼成了指示符。我的密碼提醒我，我不應(yīng)該讓自己成為最近分手的受害者，我足夠堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，可以為此做些什么。用這個(gè)密碼因?yàn)樗Ｍ芴嵝阉獔?jiān)強(qiáng)。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段“And the one for last month: Save4@ring Yep. Life is gonna change again soon.”生活很快又要改變了。根據(jù)選項(xiàng)A. 他每周都會給他媽媽打電話；選項(xiàng)B他很快就會向他的女朋友求婚。選項(xiàng)C他的密碼能幫他省錢。這件事不可能發(fā)生的；選項(xiàng)D他會被提醒保存密碼。根據(jù)推理可知只有選項(xiàng)B是生活有了改變。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第六段“My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn39。t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.”及第十六段“Here is a simplified extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method.”通讀全文可知,文章主要講述的是作者借鑒了前任老板的忠告,利用新設(shè)置的一個(gè)密碼幫助自己走出了離婚的陰霾,故A項(xiàng)作文章標(biāo)題最佳。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，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。5．閱讀理解 A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the Nobel Prize of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction. Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from being the next Great Auk. When the 61yearold first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds39。 nests and hatching(孵化)them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild. A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species bac
