答案

小题1:A小题2:D小题3:B小题4:B小题5:C

解析

本文叙述了许多有才华的人却挣的很少很原因。作者通过汽车修理工很快修好了他的车，感到汽车修理工是有才华的人，但是他挣得少。在美国很多有才华的人挣得都很少。原因就是他们没有金融才干和商业知识，不能更好的把自己推销出去，只会挣得只够花的。小题1:推理判断题。根据第一段的The sad truth is that great talent is not enough．可知作者认为自己的才能不足，因此觉得那个汽车修理工是一个有才华的人。故选A。小题2:词义猜测题。根据第三段的They work and they pay the bills．可知很多人工作了，却付账单，等于是说工作赚的钱又花出去了，生活的花费不要超过自己所赚的钱的范围，要在这个以内。故选D。小题3:推理判断题。根据最后一段的They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of lling and delivering the hamburger.可知很多人挣的少是因为没有金融知识和推销能力。故选B。小题4:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．可以找出答案。故选B。小题5:推理判断题。根据第二段的I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn可知全文是围绕着为什么这么多有才华的人却挣的这么少来展开的。故选C。

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。
