题文

In March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success. Shortly after we mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail. But this one wasn’t as beautiful as the ones we’d nt out. It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it. A talented editor had read the issue carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined. I felt abashed. A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容). The stories were good, but the errors this woman had found showed that we were far from being excellent. At first, I was upt with my editor for not having caught more mistakes, and also upt with the woman who emed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out. Later, I was upt with mylf for not having employed a better editor. Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistakes. I called the woman who had shown me that we were not so excellent. I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully. As painful as it was, I accepted responsibility for it. Then I offered her the job of editing our publication. The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine. From this I learnt that an uptting moment could be an opportunity to e the truth, and accepting responsibility could help to prevent one making the same mistakes for a cond time, and to make "excellence" a reality.小题1:From the first paragraph we learn that _____.A．the author put little effort into his first magazineB．the author’s job was lling magazinesC．the author was very satisfied with his workD．the author experienced a total failure小题2:What does the underlined word "abashed" mean?A．excited.B．embarrasd.C．interested.D．exhausted.小题3:What do we learn about the woman who had found the errors in the magazine?A．She was causing trouble on purpo.B．She liked pointing out the errors of others.C．She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.D．She ended up joining the magazine.小题4:What do we learn from this passage?A．Pride is the biggest enemy of success.B．Success is behind many failures.C．Picking holes in something can help you find a job.D．Accepting responsibility for one’s errors can lead to real excellence. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

解析

本文叙述了作者办了名叫Creating Excellence的杂志，首次发刊获得了很大成功，可是作者后来却收到了一位女士寄来的一本指出杂志错误的邮件，作者感到很尴尬，于是她决定聘请这位女士来他的杂志社工作，结果使他的杂志办的更好，这件事告诉我们，要虚心接受别人指出的错误，这样才会取得更大的成就。小题1:细节理解题。根据It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success. 首次发刊就非常成功，故选C。小题2:细节理解题。Excited兴奋的； embarrasd尴尬的； interested感兴趣的； exhausted疲惫的。根据A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容). 杂志应该内容时最好的，却出现了错误，故选B。小题3:细节理解题。根据Then I offered her the job of editing our publication. The result was a great improvement in it故选D。小题4:细节理解题。根据accepting responsibility could help to prevent one making the same mistakes for a cond time, and to make "excellence" a reality.接受别人指出的错误以免同样的错误，就能做到最好，故选D。点评：细节理解题可以分为集中型细节理解题和分散型细节理解题。集中型：就文章的单个细节提问，答案在原文中出现的位置一般也位于单句话或几句话中。因为具体细节不同，出题形式千变万化，因题而异。分散型：题目涉及到文章某一段或几段，甚至贯穿全文的各个位置，需要考生寻找文章中的多个细节。请注意，分散型细节理解题并不意味着题目的正确答案出现在文章的不同位置，正确答案往往也是关于文章的某一个句子或细节。只是说文章的干扰选项是关于不同的细节，需要我们在定位的时候阅读某一个区域。

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。
