答案

小题1:D小题2:A小题3:B小题4:C

解析

文章主要叙述的是，作者早晨醒来，感到心情抑郁，但是在上班途中进一家小店吃饭的时候，遇到了一位老人，老人的那种乐观态度，改变了作者的心态。小题1:细节理解题。从第一段的第二句话可知作者醒来之后，感到心里空荡荡的，有有一种莫名其妙的情绪低落的感觉，因此选D。A困乏的；B充满活力的；C生病的，均与事实不符。故选D。小题2:推理判断题。从老人起身很难的样子知道他身体不是很好，但是老人风趣幽默，而且他看到作者心情不好还和作者开玩笑并鼓励作者，可知这个老人对生活很乐观。B、C、D与原句不符。故选A。小题3:细节理解题。老人说了Well since they are blue you wouldn’t have heard that 这句话，利用blue这个词有忧郁的意思，指别人心情不好，所以不会夸赞作者的漂亮的眼睛。A、D没有提及；C与原文不符。故选B。小题4:推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段的As he got up he said, “Take care of that smile.”以及最后一段作者在老人的玩笑和鼓励之下，空荡荡的感觉消失了，对生活有了信心，可知我们应该面对生活中的烦恼，一笑了之，积极乐观地生活。故选C。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“I woke up this morni.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
