题文

Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you eking happiness today?Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness．Some have put their heart and efforts into their work．Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol．Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the posssion of expensive cars, exotic（异国的）vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people becau they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion,” or “I’ll be happy when I lo that extra 20 pounds.” It is dangerous becau it accepts that happiness is a “respon” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus（激励） and respon．Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus．Happiness is a respon．A great paying job is stimulus．Happiness is a respon．A loving relationship is stimulus．Happiness is a respon．This belief leaves us thinking and feeling：“I’ll be happy when…”It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true．I believe that happiness is a stimulus and respon is what life brings to tho who are truly happy．When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work．When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships．When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health．Happiness is not a respon but a stimulus．Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives．For unknown reason to me, many choo to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time．Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want—we usually get things we want AFTER we choo to be happy．61．From the cond paragraph, we know too many people   .

答案

61—64  CBAB

解析

文章大意：生活中，我们经常会有不快乐的时候。事实上，我们只有先快乐，才能得到我们自己想要的。61．C细节理解题。 第二段告诉我们：很多人喜欢投身于工作，许多人喜欢吸食毒品或者酗酒，因为他们觉得快乐，所以A、B两项错误；第二段还告诉我们：许许多多的人拥有了自己的昂贵的汽车后，他们就找到了快乐，所以C项正确。而D项与原文叙述不符，太绝对化。62．B推理判断题。 依据文章第四段可知，如今，人们都认为昂贵的轿车、高薪的工作都是一种刺激，而后才有了快乐，也就是说，他们得到了自己想要的东西，所以觉得快乐。A项说反了，C、D是B的具体表现形式。63．A细节理解题。依据最后两段可知A项正确，B正好与作者的观点相悖，C、D两项文章没有讨论到，所以不正确。64．B推理判断题。依据作者在最后三段的阐述，可知幸福是无条件的，觉得幸福你就会拥有你所想要的，而且还会超出你的想象，所以B项正确。

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
