To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life39。s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way. Life is like a game and maybe you can award(獎勵) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, Hey, I39。ve won! and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, Well, I tried! which is better than not trying at all. Don39。t let it be said you didn39。t try. What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby39。s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself. It really doesn39。t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don39。t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don39。t let give up be a part of your vocabulary.（1）By saying To err is human, the author means that________. beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakes one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakes and failures make up our life beings make mistakes easily（2）What39。s the main idea of Paragraph 2? to reach 50 points. stop trying in your life. yourself for your success39。t be afraid of missing your points.（3）The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________. （4）The underlined word despondent in the last paragraph means________. 【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，提醒人們在面對充滿酸甜苦辣的人生時， 在面對失敗，成功，歡樂，痛苦時人們應該采取積極樂觀的態(tài)度。告誡人們要知道“人非圣賢孰能無過”， 要坦然面對失敗和錯誤，要如何去獲得快樂和幸福。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Mistakes are a part of life.”可知錯誤是人生的一部分，人人都會犯錯，故選B。 （2）考查段落大意。在第二段中作者建議人們?nèi)〉贸删偷臅r候要給自己獎勵，沒能實現(xiàn)目標時要安慰自己“至少努力過了”。第二段中的“Life is like a game and maybe you can award(獎勵) points for every effort that has been a success for you.“；為主題句，故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。作者首先提出本段中心：Actually happiness means different things to different people. 然后舉例說明”For example……”,由此判斷作者在本段使用了例證的方法，選A。 （4）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen”可以推斷如果期望的結果沒有發(fā)生，人們會感到沮喪或者失望，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和段落大意四個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Fairies today are the material of, children39。s stories, little magical people with wings, often shining with light. Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to humans. One explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people. So, for example when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons some of the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a changelinga fairy babyor that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk. While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16yearold Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nineyearold Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were not real, while others weren39。t sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more that the girls took for him, in a magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were not real years later in 1983, and that they created them using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.（1）What does the underlined words this idea in Paragraph 2 refer to?
