【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。生活中有许多挑战，我们面对挑战、追求

梦想时可能会陷入僵局。作者提供了一些建议——不要杞人忧天，放下包袱，实

现梦想很容易。

1.C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句＂Ifyoudropthat，you

begintofeelalittle‘dead’insidebecauyou’redropping

‘you’.＂可知，如果你放弃了梦想，就开始感觉自己内心＂死了＂，

因为你失去了自己的追求。由此可以推理出，在任何情况下我们都应该坚

持梦想。

3.C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的建议＂Decideandactbefore

overthinking.＂(在过度思虑之前做决定和行动)可知，不要杞人忧天，

你要感到放松。故C正确。

4.A【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者针对追求梦想提供了一些建议，

告诉我们不要杞人忧天，放下包袱，实现梦想很容易。由此可知A正确。

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了几种有效避免冲突的建议。

1．G根据空前一句“Itisnecessarytobereasonableandflexible

enoughtoavoidconflictsasmuchaspossibleandliveinpeacewith

others”可知，尽量避免冲突是十分有必要的；据此可以判断，空处承上启下，

介绍冲突的严重危害，引出文章主题，故G项正确。

2．D根据空后一句“Youshouldfocusonyourownlifeissues”可

知，作者建议把注意力集中在自己的事情上；据此可以判断，空处建议“让其

他人自己解决他们自己的问题”，故D项符合文意。

3．F根据该段标题“Bekind”可知，该段主要阐述“和善待人”的建议，

这与F项中的“trytoactkindlytowardsthisperson”照应，故F项符合

文意。

4．A根据空后一句“Thissayingisthelifemottoofanatural­born

peacekeeper”可以判断，空处是调解人的一句格言。A项意为“最伟大的胜利

是一场没有战斗的斗争”，符合文意，故A项正确。

5．E根据空前一句“Byallmeans,trytokeepyourlfawayfrom

stress”可知，这里作者建议要远离冲突，离开对手；据此可知E项符合文意。
