题文

Plea excu me if I'm a little sad today. Mark is leaving, and I'm feeling kind of sad.You probably don't know Mark, but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him. He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional skills with a sweet nature. He just wants to do his job, and to do it superbly well. And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity. It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we're genuinely, sincerely plead for him. But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague.Life has a way of throwing the curve balls at us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation. A terrific neighbor moves away. Someone in the family graduates. A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage. The family's principle bread-winner is laid off.But how do we do that? A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words: "Go with the flow.""It's like surfing," Chris explained. "You can't organize the ocean. Waves just happen. You ride them where they take you, then you paddle back out there and catch the next one. Sure, you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get. But mostly you just take them the way they come.I'm not exactly sure, but I think Chris was saying that life is a ries of events—both good and bad. There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control. That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your dreams come true. It just means that when things come up that aren't exactly in your plan, you work around them—and then you move on. Of cour, some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others. A rained-out picnic, for example, is easier to cope with than the sudden death of a loved one. But the principle is the same.We're going to miss Mark, just like you'll miss that graduate, that neighbor or that newlywed. But rather than drown ourlves in the sadness of our parting, we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future—for him, and for us. And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.小题1:The passage is mainly about ___________.A．how to change yourlf successfullyB．how to do if your colleague (同事) leavesC．how to deal with unhappy things in lifeD．how to deal with unexpected things in life小题2:In Paragraph 1 , the writer tells the story about Mike to _________.A．let us know his colleagueB．prai his colleagueC．introduce a topicD．describe his life小题3:The leaving of Mike makes the writer feel _________________.A．really unpleasantB．very angryC．both happy and sadD．a little disappointed小题4:Which is not an unexpected thing in life mentioned in the passage?A．A rained-out picnic.B．A terrific neighbor’s apology.C．The sudden death of a loved.D．The graduation of a family member.小题5:In the writer’s opinion, one should ________ when unexpected things come up.A．accept them and hope for a better futureB．do as plannedC．overcome difficulties and let them in controlD．never give up until he succeeds 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:D小题2:C小题3:C小题4:B小题5:A

解析

文章表达了作者一种生活态度，即对生活中出现不可控因素影响我们生活时我们要随遇而安。这并不意味着我们不需要不断努力去实现梦想，而是在解决问题后，按原计划继续前行。小题1:主旨题：阅读全文可知全文表达出作者一种生活态度，即对生活中出现不可控因素影响我们生活时我们要随遇而安。这并不意味着我们不需要不断努力去实现梦想，而是在解决问题后，按原计划继续前行。故选D。小题2:推理题：阅读第一段可知Mark的故事是一个引题，用来引出人们遇到生活中的不可控因素时的态度。故选C。小题3:细节题：根据第一段中“ I'm feeling kind of sad.”我感到有点悲伤和第二段中“ we're genuinely, sincerely plead for him”我们很真诚、很真心的为他高兴。故选C。小题4:细节题：根据第三段中“ Someone in the family graduates.”家庭中的某个成员毕业了，可知D项正确；根据第六段中“A rained-out picnic, for example, is easier to cope with than the sudden death of a loved one.”比如,因为下雨要取消野餐,总比自己所爱的人突然去世更容易处理，可知A、C正确；只有B项没有提及。故选B。小题5:推理题：根据最后一段中“But rather than drown ourlves in the sadness of our parting, we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future—for him, and for us.”但我们与其沉湎于分离所带来的哀伤中,倒不如把期盼聚焦于一个更光明的未来——为他,也为我们自己，可知作者态度是接受现实，并对未来怀有希望。故选A。
