题文

Busy as I am every day, I always open my computer and check my email. Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercis, another form of piano practice without beautiful tones. Sometimes, however, I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life. The following passage is one of tho gifts.Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man. Every morning he is fully dresd by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though hi is unable to e anything. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years old has recently pasd away, making the move necessary.After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator, the nur provided a visual description of his tiny room. “I love it,” he stated with enthusiasm. “Mr. Jones, you haven’t been the room,” said the nur.“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” he replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.”Each day is a gift, and as long as we are alive. We’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we’ve stored just as Mr. Jones does.小题1:What do we know about Mr. Jones ?A．He is a blind but very neat.B．His wife died many years ago.C．He likes playing the piano.D．His room in the nursing home is big.小题2:How did Mr. Jones feel about his room in the nursing home?A．worriedB．curiousC．disappointedD．content小题3:The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ________.A．the furnitureB．the roomC．a decisionD．a gift小题4:What would be the best title for the text?A．Each Day is a GiftB．Be Always GratefulC．Living in a nursing roomD．Arrange Your Mind Every Day 题型：未知难度：其他题型

本文通过Mr Jones对待生活的乐观态度告诉我们每一天都是上帝给我们的礼物，我们都要乐观对待。小题1:A 细节题。根据文章第2段1,2行Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man. Every morning he is fully dresd by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though hi is unable to e anything.可知他的穿着很整洁，但是眼睛已经看不见了。故A正确。小题2:D 推理题。根据文章第3段1,2行As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator, the nur provided a visual description of his tiny room. “I love it,” he stated with enthusiasm可知他很喜欢养老院给他提供的房间。说明他是很满意的。故D正确。小题3:B 推理题。根据文章第4段1,2行. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind.

We’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we’ve stored just as Mr. Jones does可知本文通过Mr Jones对待生活的乐观态度告诉我们每一天都是上帝给我们的礼物，我们都要乐观对待。故A正确。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Busy as I am every d.....”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。
