Succeed一書的作者保羅圖赫就記者提出的一些問題作出了回答。1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一部分中的“How Children Succeed is an attempt to answer those questions.”可知,保羅圖赫創(chuàng)作這本書是為了探討一些問題,找到這些問題的答案。2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二部分中的“.what seems to have more of an effect is the chaotic environments that many low-ine kids grow up in.”可知,保羅圖赫認(rèn)為生活環(huán)境對(duì)貧窮孩子的影響更大。3.C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三部分中的“I dont think its quite true that failure itself helps us succeed.In fact.”可推測(cè),保羅圖赫認(rèn)為失敗本身并不可以幫助我們成功。實(shí)際上,反復(fù)的失敗對(duì)孩子的成長(zhǎng)“有害”。4.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一部分中的“.what Im more concerned about is his character.”可知,保羅圖赫現(xiàn)在更加關(guān)注孩子的性格培養(yǎng)。.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是夾敘夾議文。作者認(rèn)為回顧過去可以讓我們吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn),開創(chuàng)更美好的未來。1.D由下文的“.and began our traditional beach activities:reading,relaxing.”可推斷,作者和妻子在放松之前把椅子“放(put)”好。2.A由上文的“.my wife and I were enjoying the warm weather on a beautiful Florida beach.”可知,作者和妻子把椅子放到了“大海(ocean)”邊。3.B由下文的“As my wife watched them.”可知,作者和妻子“注意到(noticed)”一對(duì)年輕夫婦。4.C作者的妻子“說(stated)”作者年輕時(shí)也像那對(duì)年輕夫婦一樣大笑。5.D由上文的“When you were a young man,you laughed as this young couple did.”可知,此處是指作者的妻子說的“話(words)”。6.A由下文的the memories filled our hearts可知,妻子的話令夫婦倆“回憶(look back)”起他們剛開始在一起的那些日子。7.C美好的回憶令夫婦倆內(nèi)心充滿了“快樂(joy)”。8.B由下文的but we all do可推測(cè),人們說“永遠(yuǎn)不要(never)”回首過去。9.B回首過去的關(guān)鍵在于不要“活在(live in)”過去。10.D由上文的“Recalling life lessons doesnt have to be negative.”可知,回首過去可以讓我們“收獲(gain)”很多。11.D由下文的“We can reflect where we have e from and where we are today.”可知,回首過去是有“價(jià)值(value)”的。12.A13.C回首過去讓我們認(rèn)識(shí)到“盡管(in spite of)”我們并不完美,但是我們的“父母(parents)”還是無條件地愛我們。14.A由下文的from our setbacks可知,從挫折中我們可以得到“教訓(xùn)(lessons)”。15.B教訓(xùn)讓我們變得“更好(better)”。16.C“如果(if)”能明智地回首過去,那么我們就會(huì)有深刻的領(lǐng)悟并做出更好的決定。17.B18.B由上文的“I have learned that looking back.make better decisions.”可知,回首過去并不是要以未來為代價(jià)抓住“過去(past)”不放,而是要“借鑒(learning from)”過去的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)。19.D由下文的“.from your past that has impacted your life today?”可推測(cè),回首過去是為了使其“有益于(useful)”我們的現(xiàn)在和未來。20.A由上文的“.make it.to the present and the future.”可推斷,作者是問“你從過去得到的對(duì)現(xiàn)在的生活有影響的最重要(important)的領(lǐng)悟是什么”。.短文改錯(cuò)Today I got stickstuck
