Question

D

Life is difficult.

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear.

These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct(指導(dǎo)).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

A．Problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering.

B．We become stronger by facing and solving problems of life.

【解析】

試題分析：生活是很艱難的。一旦我們了解并接受了它，生活就變得不再那么難了，這是一個(gè)偉大的現(xiàn)實(shí)。就是在這個(gè)解決問題的過程中，生活變得有意義了。正是在這些面對(duì)并解決問題的痛苦中，我們學(xué)習(xí)。本杰明·富蘭克林說過：“那些事情痛苦，但是有教育意義�！本褪腔�于此，聰明的人學(xué)著不再懼怕困難，而是去迎接解決問題的苦難。

1.推理判斷題。全文主要講述了有人抱怨生活的艱辛，作者也承認(rèn)生活是艱難的，然而正是這種艱難的解決問題的過程使得- 生活變得更有意義。所以，從文章的最后一段第二行，When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems.可知正確的答案為B。

2.推理判斷題。題目詢問“作者只用一句話開始文章，其目的可能是什么”。寫文章的目的就是解決問題，本文首先開門見山地點(diǎn)明問題，顯然是為了吸引讀者的注意力，而不是別的意思。可知正確的答案為D。

3.主旨大意題。由文章的第三段第一句話，Most do not fully see this truth.Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy：可知。人們經(jīng)常抱怨生活是多么的艱辛。所以正確的答案為D。

4.】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章的倒數(shù)第四行說到，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to resolve.所以我們讓學(xué)生們做題的目的是讓他們從中學(xué)習(xí)。所以本題正確的答案為A。

5.推理判斷題。從文中It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.可知，正是通過解決問題的痛苦，我們學(xué)到了知識(shí)。所以正確的答案為C。

考點(diǎn)：教育類短文閱讀理解

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題型考查了對(duì)文章段落或某一板塊的理解概括能力。先閱讀問題，然后帶著問題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀。在詞義與句義理解的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合上下文總結(jié)歸納某一段或幾段的大意，對(duì)于把握文章主旨，分析全文結(jié)構(gòu)都是至關(guān)重要的�？v觀歷年高考試題，閱讀理解試題一般有以下幾種題型：一是直接回答who, whom, which, what, where, when, why, how等疑問詞引起的細(xì)節(jié)問題；二是猜測詞義題；三是推理判斷題；四是綜合概括題。在做閱讀理解題時(shí)，一定要仔細(xì)看完，看清楚試題要求再作答，特別要注意NOT，TRUE，EXCEPT等詞。有時(shí)，要先看題，后閱讀文章，帶著問題去讀短文，可縮短閱讀時(shí)間，效果也許會(huì)更好。
