A.Don39。t Be Bothered by Small ThingsB.We Can Change Everything If We WantC.Practicing Gratitude Changed My LifeD.Being Grateful to One Good Person【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，在一個(gè)星期的時(shí)間里，作者堅(jiān)持每天都能發(fā)現(xiàn)五件她特別感激的事情，而且每天都有所不同。生活永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)完美。但通過這么一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的練習(xí)，作者重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了那句老話的平和：接受我不能改變的事情，毫無怨言地去改變我能改變的，并且足夠明智地知道兩者的區(qū)別。這只需要一點(diǎn)感激之情。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one, I39。d cast a careful glance and ask ‘Why?’ before grabbing the apple pie.”如果一個(gè)心急的研究生拿著甜點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)在我的辦公室，讓我挑選一種，在抓蘋果派之前，我會(huì)仔細(xì)地看一眼，然后問“為什么?”可知，作者在抓蘋果派之前，會(huì)仔細(xì)地看一眼，然后問“為什么?”?？芍?，作者對(duì)帶甜點(diǎn)的學(xué)生持有謹(jǐn)慎的態(tài)度。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.”我的反應(yīng)坦率地說是懷疑的。我算了算。連續(xù)7天每天做5件事，甚至連吃蘋果派的承諾都沒有，那就太費(fèi)腦力了?？赏浦髡哒J(rèn)為對(duì)“連續(xù)7天每天做5件事”的要求充滿懷疑，認(rèn)為太費(fèi)腦力、不值得去做。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“But I could, suggested Collie Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day. He39。s a great cook. He always puts our family first.”但是另一位積極心理學(xué)家柯利康諾利建議道，我可以每天對(duì)一個(gè)人的某些方面表達(dá)我的感激之情。他是個(gè)很棒的廚師。他總是把我們的家庭放在第一位?？芍吕抵Z利建議作者每天對(duì)一個(gè)人的某些方面表達(dá)感激之情。由此可知，柯利康諾利建議作者具體說明她感激什么。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But with just one simple exercise, I39。m rediscovering the peace of that old saying: accepting the things I can39。t change, working without plaint to change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference.”但通過一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的練習(xí)，我重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了那句老話的平和：接受我不能改變的事情，毫無怨言地去改變我能改變的，并且足夠明智地知道兩者的區(qū)別）可知，練習(xí)表達(dá)感激，改變了作者的觀念和生活。由此可知選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息。并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life. I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world－class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success. However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble. As usual, things bee difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions. I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, Many of life39。s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up. I decided to hang on, telling myself, I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles. I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened 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. 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.（1）The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor39。s viewpoint is ________.

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.
