(2023·天津南開·南開中學(xué)??寄M預(yù)測)N business wuld welcme being cmpared t gambling. Yet that is what is happening t makers f vide games. Fr years parents have cmplained that their children are “addicted” t their vide games and smartphnes. Tday, hwever, even mre dctrs are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disrder” — in which games are played uncntrllably, despite causing harm — gained recgnitin frm the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO).
Are games really addictive? Psychlgists have different pinins. Thse wh dn’t think s say that this is just anther mral panic. Similar warnings have been given abut televisin, rck’n’rll, jazz, cmic bks, nvels and even crsswrd puzzles, but it turns ut that they are nt as harmful as expected.
Hwever, supprters argue that game develpers have the mtivatin and the means t design their prducts t make them extremely attractive. Fr ne thing, the business- mdel has changed: In the ld days, games were bught nce and fr all. But these days, games are free and mney is earned frm purchases f in-game gds, which ties playtime directly t revenue (收益). Fr anther, game-makers cmbine psychlgical thery and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphnes and mdern vide game machines use their permanent Internet cnnectins t send gameplay data back t develpers. In this way prducts are cnstantly adjusted t encurage players’ spending. The biggest spenders are knwn as “whales”, a term that riginated in casins (賭場).
The gaming industry shuld realize that, in the real wrld, it has a prblem, and that prblem is grwing. Nw that gaming addictin cmes with an fficial WHO recgnitin, diagnses will becme mre cmmn. Anyway, being put tgether with gambling in the public mind, fairly r nt, will nt d the industry any gd.

Increasingly, ur wrld is being designed by machines, fr machines. We adapt t machines and hld urselves t their standards: Peple are judged by the speed with which they respnd, nt the quality f their respnse. Such ideas are being wven int ur culture. “Always n” becmes smething t bast f, r aspire t.
Mst f us are busy mst f the time, if nt with wrk then with family, dmestic tasks r ur scial netwrks—real and virtual. When I ask peple hw they are ding, they almst always answer “busy”. Ticking things ff the “t d” list becmes a means f defining urselves.
A few years ag, I became very interested in what it means t pause. I started t ntice where pauses shw up in my wn wrk and life. Fr example, I realized that when I was writing, a shrt walk was a mre effective way t break a creative blck than cncentrating harder.
I realized that a pause is nt nthing. It acts as a kind f switch r pening. As Helene Simnsen, a classical musician, says, “Whatever yu are ding, if yu want smething else t happen, yu need t pause.” It is nt a fixed unit f time. It might be taking a mment befre yu enter a rm, but it culd als be a “screen-free Saturday”, a “Think Week” every tw years (which wrks fr Bill Gates) r a year-lng vacatin. Hwever fast yu are mving, there is always the chance t pause—t rest, reflect r refresh f curse, but als t appreciate, get perspective, cnnect t thers, r have new ideas.
There is mre t life than getting things dne. Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is nt the same as a minute ding push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a unifrm raw material—as the physics f Einstein shws. Try t let g f the idea that time is linear (直線型), regular and bjective, and think f it in the same way we experience it. Instead f setting wrk and life against each ther, use pauses t leaven (為增色) yur experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): yu dn’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient.
I want t give pauses mre visibility, imprtance and status. My hpe is that each f us can use pauses, great and small, t avid sliding int a mde where we act like prly perfrming machines.

The mirrrs have been fgged up thrugh different life experiences and memries as we have grwn up, and nw blend tgether t frm ur wn definitin f ur beauty.
The first mirrr is frmed as a yung child and is ften based n what was said abut us frm ur parents and thse arund us.

The secnd mirrr is the mirrr f adlescence, thse frmative years when we are pushed int the big wild wrld and ut f the prtectin f hme. As a teenager I went t a barding schl, and I was ne f the nly tw black peple in the entire schl.

We are ften faced with numerus images in the media, ppular culture, sciety, peers and scial media, which can create a false ideal f beauty in ur eyes. We tend t cmpare urselves t thse ideals and use it as sme srt f margin (差值) f measurement.
Hwever, real beauty cmes frm within. It is acceptance f yurself, perceived flaws and all. Yu are a masterpiece, a unique blend f genes and life experiences. It’s essential t appreciate yurself like any ther wrk f art r natural wnder, withut judgement. Maybe it’s time t create a furth mirrr, a new mirrr that is wiped clean and is minus the fg f cmparisns, accusatins, judgments and expectatins.

(2023·天津南開·統(tǒng)考一模)Even thugh peple have been paralyzed (癱瘓的) playing sprts like rugby and ftball, extreme sprts take the whle rdeal (磨難) t the next level. Sprts like dwnhill cycling are very dangerus because ne wuld be ging dwnhill, ver rcky r dirt zne, thrugh frests, even at ptentially deadly speeds. A slip up culd be yur dwnfall.
Nbdy wh gets int extreme sprts ges with the desire t d harm t themselves. With that, athletes train fr years and years befre they attempt anything extreme. T mst peple, extreme sprts are extreme simply because they take mre skill than what an average persn has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing becme a daily rutine, which des nt wipe ut the danger, but greatly reduces it.
Even when there is a lt f skill invlved, things might nt g the athlete’s way, nt at all. Luck and circumstances have a lt t d with hw things develp, whether abve 8,000 meters r in a wd, ging dwnhill. In sme places, crssing the street is an extreme sprt, cnsidering hw wild traffic can get.
Sme view parkur, the sprts f running, jumping and climbing under, arund and thrugh buildings, as an extreme sprt, while it is mre f a life philsphy, where the athlete des nt have t d anything remtely dangerus. Free sling, which means climbing a rck r ice face withut safety gear, is abslutely deadly, where ne slip means almst certain death, depending n the height, f curse. Skatebarding is relatively safe, but if yu cnstantly find ridiculus places t practice n, like the fence f a bridge, then things can get very cmplicated. The extreme part depends n the athlete.
T summarize, yes, extreme sprts are dangerus, but the danger depends n the athlete, their chice f sprt, directin in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Sme things are ut f ur cntrl, while thers we can influence thrugh exercise and healthier risk chices.

(2023·天津紅橋·統(tǒng)考一模)Trust as explained in Wikepedia (維基百科) is the feeling f being sure smene r smething can be relied upn. Trust is a big tpic in many peple’s lives. It prduces an emtinal feeling that is tied t the cre f a persn’s very existence.
Why d we want t break anyne’s trust? Why des this happen ver and ver again? It may arise frm pride, cntrl, dislikes, a difference f pinin and misunderstandings. Perhaps when yu are living yur life withut self-wrth and self-lve then yu are living yur life in a cntinual state f negative thughts and feelings. What yu feel inside is evident by what yu d and what yu say. When yu shift yur energy within yurself and find yur place f lve and wrth then yur view f this wrld will change fr the better. This energy shift twards the psitive will shift everything that yu think, say and d. Being kind t yurself prjects utward t the wrld by being kind and gd t thers. This prjectin is the utcme f this psitive energy shift. Our true self is ne f lve and feeling wrthy f all f the gdness and happiness.
We have a tendency t lk utside f urselves fr cntent when this feeling f cntent can be fund within urselves. The answers t ur questins abut life and lve are within us. Smetimes we need t give urselves a break and t be mst lving, mst kind and mst patient with us. Care fr and lve yurself t find the jy within. The lve and peace f this wrld is in each and every ne f us.
Meditatin (沉思) can bridge that trust that we can have in urselves. Then we can have mre trust in the wrld and in thers. When everything arund us is breaking up meditatin can help t keep us centered s we can find that deep cnnectin f lve and wrthiness. That is yur true self wanting t shine thrugh. We can’t cntrl anything else but we can cntrl what we d.
When yu chse t help yurself then yu chse t trust yurself. Trust can lead us t a life f peace and lve and fulfillment. The wrld has its wn prgrams. Trust in lve and peace and live yur life like yu mean it!

(2023·天津濱海新·校聯(lián)考一模)Time and time again, I hear smene ask why anyne wuld want t keep an “ugly” building r a building that is dirty and clearly in need f wrk. I think yu culd say we preservatinists (文物保護者) lk at buildings thrugh a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the stry in the simple lines, the bk behind the cver.
Take the Queen Emma Building fr example. While peple may remember that building being named as ne f the ugliest buildings in twn, the angle frm which a preservatinist will view the building is that it is uniquely cnstructed with an artistical brise-sleil (遮陽板) t blck the sun. The designer used standard cncrete bricks t frm a decrative wall. Unfrtunately, the brise-sleil was remved in 2011, making the building lk like many f the cntemprary buildings in twn.
Smetimes peple remember a beautiful site that was replaced by a “hrrid” piece f architecture and can’t get ver their anger, even when that building becmes an imprtant part f ur stry. This is particularly true in San Francisc where many preservatinists themselves dislike anything newer than the Victrian era. Yes, it was a tragedy that many failed t appreciate the Victrian buildings and let many get trn dwn several decades ag, but thse lsses als tell anther imprtant stry. It tells the stry f the 1950s and 1960s when there was hpe fr a mre equal sciety with inexpensive husing fr the wrking class. Shuld that histry be wiped frm ur memries?
Preservatin is nt just abut keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but abut cnveying parts f ur histry —nt just the histry f huge events, but the stry f hw everyne used t g t a certain crner market. Our histry cannt be tld nly in buildings that meet smene’s criteria f beauty; smetimes ur histry is painful, but n less imprtant.
26.Hw d preservatinists see buildings?
A.They fcus n their value rather than appearance.
B.They pay great attentin t ancient buildings.
C.They are devted t repairing famus buildings.
D.They prefer ugly buildings t beautiful nes.
27.What des the authr think f remving the brise-sleil f the Queen Emma Building?
A.It’s cnfusing.B.It’s pleasing.
C.It’s regrettable.D.It’s unbelievable.
28.Why were many Victrian buildings in San Francisc trn dwn?
A.T wipe the histry f the Victrian era.
B.T make land available fr cheap husing.
C.T wrk ff the deep anger f the wrking class.

Heres are all arund us. They truly hld ur wrld tgether, thrugh their unselfish devtin t helping thers, teaching children, and prtecting the envirnment. They dn’t want fame, r glry; they just want t help. In s many ways, these unsung heres pilt the bat in which all f us sail.

Every day we read abut hw we shuld find ur purpse and pursue it thrughut ur lives in rder t find meaning and cntentment. There are even scientific studies that shw peple wh view their wrk as a calling rather than just a career r a jb have a higher life and wrk satisfactin. S, what exactly is this calling?
I’ve persnally struggled with this cncept fr many years. I knew that happiness nt nly came frm a present state f jy, but als frm the pursuit f an bjective that gave me smething t pursue. That is, until I fund myself feeling empty despite my achievement f thse gals.
And as I reflected n these feelings f emptiness and bredm that had arisen despite my successes, I realized smething. Meaning and satisfactin cme frm a persnal devtin t what we d and the intrinsic (固有的) fulfillment we get frm it. It has nthing t d with financial gain, scial advancement r any ther type f external reward r mtivatin. It is abut ding smething that we lve. It is abut fcusing ur effrts and spending ur time n passins that light the spark inside f us and allw us t share with the wrld the unique gifts we pssess.
I had never befre stpped t think abut what I fund intrinsically rewarding r fulfilling. Financial gain and external recgnitin were pretty much the nly drivers I knew. Mre s, I thught this calling meant having ne passin we were brn with t pursue relentlessly (不懈地).
S, I spent sme years trying t find this lng-lst purpse f mine. I discvered during that time passins I had n idea I even had. Yet, I wasn’t sure hw t make them int my life purpse. I searched fr an answer but culdn’t find it. It wasn’t until I came t understand the truths abut ur purpse in life that I was able t find my place in this wrld.
Our purpse can cnsist f varius things that make us feel alive. As we grw and evlve thrughut the different stages in ur lives, we may discver new passins and desires that change ur sense f purpse and calling.
We all have a lnging fr lives that give meaning t ur existence. The difference lies in hw we g abut accmplishing this. We must each find ur wn “shine” and then shine n.

參考答案:
1.C 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.A
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章開篇提到世衛(wèi)組織把游戲成癮列為一種疾病,就“游戲真的會讓人上癮嗎”這個問題,介紹了心理學(xué)家們給出的不同的觀點,作者也對此發(fā)表了忠告。
1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“On January 1 this year, ‘gaming disrder’ — in which games are played uncntrllably, despite causing harm — gained recgnitin frm the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO). (今年1月1日,‘游戲障礙’(這?。┑玫搅耸澜缧l(wèi)生組織的認(rèn)可,‘游戲障礙’指的是盡管會造成傷害,但仍無法控制地玩游戲)”可知,游戲上癮被權(quán)威機構(gòu)WHO認(rèn)定為疾病。故選C項。
2.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)前一句“Are games really addictive? Psychlgists have different pinins. (游戲真的會讓人上癮嗎?)”,劃線詞所在句“Thse wh dn’t think s say that this is just anther mral panic. (那些不這么認(rèn)為的人說,這只是又一次mral panic。)”,其中anther指代眾多類似當(dāng)中的另外一個,根據(jù)下一句“Similar warnings have been given abut televisin, rck’n’rll, jazz, cmic bks, nvels and even crsswrd puzzles, but it turns ut that they are nt as harmful as expected. (對于電視、搖滾樂、爵士樂、漫畫書、小說,甚至是填字游戲,人們也給出了類似的警告,但事實證明,它們并沒有人們想象的那么有害。)”可知,當(dāng)以上提及的電視、搖滾樂等出現(xiàn)在人們視野的時候,人們都認(rèn)為它們對人類是有害的,并因此發(fā)出要抵制這些東西的警告,但是事實證明它們沒有預(yù)想的那么有害,屬于一場虛驚,只不過是人們的mral panic,可表達為“道德恐慌”,與B項“Wrng judgment n hw harmful smething is. (對某物危害性的錯誤判斷。)”。故選B項。
3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Hwever, supprters argue that games develpers have the mtivatin and the means t design their prducts t make them extremely attractive. (然而,支持者認(rèn)為,游戲開發(fā)者有動機和手段來設(shè)計他們的產(chǎn)品,使其具有極大的吸引力。)”,以及“Fr anther, games-makers cmbine psychlgical thery and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphnes and mdern vide game machines use their permanent Internet cnnectins t send gameplay data back t develpers. In this way prducts are cnstantly adjusted t encurage players’ spending. (另一方面,游戲開發(fā)者將心理學(xué)理論和數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)合起來,這有助于他們最大化游戲時間。智能手機和現(xiàn)代電子游戲機使用它們的永久互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接將游戲玩法數(shù)據(jù)傳回給開發(fā)者。通過這種方式,游戲會不斷調(diào)整產(chǎn)品以鼓勵玩家消費。)”可知,游戲開發(fā)者不但掌握游戲者心理,還實時掌握著游戲者的游戲數(shù)據(jù),并根據(jù)這些數(shù)據(jù)對游戲進行調(diào)整,使游戲有新鮮感,使游戲者玩得停不下手。故選D項。
4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句“The gaming industry shuld realize that, in the real wrld, it has a prblem, and that prblem is grwing. (游戲行業(yè)應(yīng)該意識到,在現(xiàn)實世界中,它存在一個問題,而且這個問題正在加劇。)”,以及最后一句“Anyway, being put tgether with gambling in the public mind, whether it is fairly r nt, will nt d the industry any gd. (無論如何,在公眾的心目中與賭博放在一起,無論公平與否,都不會給這個行業(yè)帶來任何好處。)”可推知,作者在最后一段中向游戲業(yè)發(fā)出了警示:在現(xiàn)實世界中,游戲行業(yè)有著持續(xù)的問題,且人們將它與賭博業(yè)相提并論,這對這個行業(yè)發(fā)展無益。故選C項。
5.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Tday, hwever, even mre dctrs are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disrder” — in which games are played uncntrllably, despite causing harm — gained recgnitin frm the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO).(然而今天,更多的醫(yī)生在使用這個術(shù)語。今年1月1日,‘游戲障礙’(這病)得到了世界衛(wèi)生組織的認(rèn)可,‘游戲障礙’指的是盡管會造成傷害,但仍無法控制地玩游戲。)”和文章最后一段“The gaming industry shuld realize that, in the real wrld, it has a prblem, and that prblem is grwing. Nw that gaming addictin cmes with an fficial WHO recgnitin, diagnses will becme mre cmmn. Anyway, being put tgether with gambling in the public mind, fairly r nt, will nt d the industry any gd.(游戲行業(yè)應(yīng)該意識到,在現(xiàn)實世界中,它存在一個問題,而且這個問題正在加劇。既然游戲成癮得到了世界衛(wèi)生組織的正式承認(rèn),診斷將變得更加普遍。無論如何,在公眾心目中,將賭博與公平與否放在一起,對這個行業(yè)都沒有任何好處。)”可知,文章主要講述了世衛(wèi)組織把游戲成癮列為一種疾病,就“游戲真的會讓人上癮嗎”這個問題,介紹了心理學(xué)家們給出的不同的觀點,作者也對此發(fā)表了忠告。由此可知,A項:Addictin: A Warning t the Gaming Industry(上癮:對游戲產(chǎn)業(yè)的警告)為合適的標(biāo)題。故選A。
6.B 7.D 8.A 9.D 10.C
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。主要講述的是在這個人人都忙的社會適時按下暫停鍵,可以避免陷入一種我們就像表現(xiàn)不佳的機器一樣的模式。
6.推理判斷題。根據(jù)首段中的“Machines wrk well at a cnstant speed—and the faster the better.(機器以恒定的速度運轉(zhuǎn)良好——而且越快越好)”以及第二段中的“We adapt t machines and hld urselves t their standards: Peple are judged by the speed with which they respnd, nt the quality f their respnse.(我們適應(yīng)機器,按照機器的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來要求自己:人們的評判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是反應(yīng)的速度,而不是反應(yīng)的質(zhì)量。)”可知,我們?nèi)祟愊駲C器一樣,判斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是反映的速度而不是質(zhì)量,由此可知,人們癡迷于反應(yīng)速度。故選B項。
7.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Mst f us are busy mst f the time, if nt with wrk then with family, dmestic tasks r ur scial netwrks—real and virtual. When I ask peple hw they are ding, they almst always answer “busy”.(我們大多數(shù)人大部分時間都很忙,如果不是忙于工作,那么就是忙于家庭、家務(wù)或我們的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)——不管是真實的還是虛擬的。當(dāng)我問人們近況如何時,他們幾乎總是回答“很忙”。)”可知,大多數(shù)人大部分時間都是很忙,忙工作、忙家務(wù),各種忙,由此可知,本段講述的內(nèi)容與“忙”相關(guān),所以劃線短語所在的句子所描述的內(nèi)容應(yīng)與本段主題“忙”相關(guān),結(jié)合選項,“一個接一個地做事情”與本段的主題吻合。故選D項。
8.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Hwever fast yu are mving, there is always the chance t pause—t rest, reflect r refresh f curse, but als t appreciate, get perspective, cnnect t thers, r have new ideas.(無論你走得有多快,總有機會停下來休息、反思或刷新,但也要欣賞、獲得視角、與他人聯(lián)系或有新的想法。)”可知,在忙碌的時候,按下暫停鍵,可以讓我們得到休息,重新振奮精神,去欣賞,從不同角度獲得新的見解或不同的想法,由此推斷,在忙碌的生活中按下暫停鍵會讓生活充滿活力和快樂。故選A項。
9.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is nt the same as a minute ding push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a unifrm raw material—as the physics f Einstein shws. Try t let g f the idea that time is linear (直線型), regular and bjective, and think f it in the same way we experience it.(我們所經(jīng)歷的時間變化很大。一分鐘吃冰淇淋和一分鐘做俯臥撐是不一樣的。甚至?xí)r間本身也不是一種統(tǒng)一的原材料——正如愛因斯坦的物理學(xué)所表明的那樣。試著放棄時間是線性的、有規(guī)律的和客觀的想法,以我們經(jīng)歷它的方式來思考它。)”可知,我們所經(jīng)歷的時間大不相同,時間本身也不是統(tǒng)一的原材料,作者建議放棄時間是線性的觀點,用我們自己體驗它的方式來思考它,由此可推斷,作者認(rèn)為時間是每個人獨特的體驗。故選D項。
10.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I want t give pauses mre visibility, imprtance and status. My hpe is that each f us can use pauses, great and small, t avid sliding int a mde where we act like prly perfrming machines.(我想賦予停頓更多的可見度、重要性和地位。我的希望是,我們每個人都能利用或大或小的停頓,避免陷入一種像表現(xiàn)不佳的機器一樣的模式。)”可知,作者希望人們不會像機器一樣,做著有規(guī)律地重復(fù)動作,我們應(yīng)該利用好大大小小的暫停,結(jié)合倒數(shù)第二段中的“Instead f setting wrk and life against each ther, use pauses t leaven (為增色) yur experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): yu dn’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient.(不要把工作和生活對立起來,要利用停頓來豐富你的經(jīng)歷。暫停就像酵母:你不需要太多,但它是至關(guān)重要的成分。)”可知,我們不是把工作與生活對立起來,而是使用暫停讓生活充滿色彩,暫停像酵母一樣,不需要很多,但是很重要,由此可推斷,暫停在對我們的幸福和創(chuàng)造力起著至關(guān)重要的作用。故選C項。
11.C 12.B 13.C 14.A 15.D
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇議論文。在我們成長中,不同的生活經(jīng)歷和記憶賦予了我們對美的定義。在我們的成長過程中有三面鏡子,第一面鏡子是在孩童時期形成的,通常是基于父母和周圍人對我們的評價;第二面鏡子是青春期的鏡子,在成長的歲月里,我們被推進大自然的世界,脫離了家的保護,意識到自己的不同;第三面鏡子來自社會建構(gòu)的美的觀念。作者通過介紹這三面鏡子,告訴我們真正的美來自內(nèi)心,要接受自己的一切。
11.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“I ften think that is hw we tend t view ur beauty—thrugh fgged up mirrrs. We are seeing urselves but the picture isn’t exactly clear!The mirrrs have been fgged up thrugh different life experiences and memries as we have grwn up, and nw blend tgether t frm ur wn definitin f ur beauty.(我常常認(rèn)為這就是我們看待自己美麗的方式——透過霧蒙蒙的鏡子。我們看到了我們自己,但是畫面不是很清楚!隨著我們的成長,鏡子已經(jīng)被不同的生活經(jīng)歷和記憶所模糊,現(xiàn)在融合在一起,形成了我們自己對美的定義。)”可知,第一段中提到的被霧遮住的鏡子指的是人們對美的模糊認(rèn)識。故選C。
12.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“I remember being tld that I was a cute child, s that when I gt a little lder and was arund six r seven and anther child tried t tell me I was ugly- everything within me rse up against the statement because my self-belief in what my parents had said std strng.(我記得有人告訴我,我是一個可愛的孩子,所以當(dāng)我長大一點,大概六七歲的時候,另一個孩子試圖告訴我我很丑——我內(nèi)心的一切都站起來反對這種說法,因為我對父母說的話的自信是堅定不移的。)”可知,當(dāng)有人說作者丑時,她完全否認(rèn)這種說法,故選B。
13.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“We are ften faced with numerus images in the media, ppular culture, sciety, peers and scial media, which can create a false ideal f beauty in ur eyes.(我們經(jīng)常在媒體、大眾文化、社會、同齡人和社交媒體上面對大量的形象,這些形象會在我們眼中營造出一種錯誤的美的理想。)”可知,從社會建構(gòu)的美的觀念可能會誤導(dǎo)人們對美的看法。故選C。
14.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Hwever, real beauty cmes frm within. It is acceptance f yurself, perceived flaws and all. Yu are a masterpiece, a unique blend f genes and life experiences. It’s essential t appreciate yurself like any ther wrk f art r natural wnder, withut judgement. Maybe it’s time t create a furth mirrr, a new mirrr that is wiped clean and is minus the fg f cmparisns, accusatins, judgments and expectatins.(然而,真正的美來自內(nèi)心。這就是接受你自己,接受你自己的缺點和所有的一切。你是一個杰作,一個獨特的融合基因和生活經(jīng)驗。像欣賞其他藝術(shù)作品或自然奇觀一樣欣賞自己是必不可少的,不要妄加評判。也許是時候創(chuàng)造第四面鏡子了,一面被擦得干干凈凈、沒有比較、指責(zé)、判斷和期望的迷霧的新鏡子。)”可推知,作者認(rèn)為第四面鏡子是一面不受外界影響的鏡子,故選A。
15.推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是最后一段中“Hwever, real beauty cmes frm within. It is acceptance f yurself, perceived flaws and all. Yu are a masterpiece, a unique blend f genes and life experiences. It’s essential t appreciate yurself like any ther wrk f art r natural wnder, withut judgement. (然而,真正的美來自內(nèi)心。這就是接受你自己,接受你自己的缺點和所有的一切。你是一個杰作,一個獨特的融合基因和生活經(jīng)驗。像欣賞其他藝術(shù)作品或自然奇觀一樣欣賞自己是必不可少的,不要妄加評判。)”可知,在我們成長中,不同的生活經(jīng)歷和記憶賦予了我們對美的定義。在我們的成長過程中有三面鏡子,第一面鏡子是在孩童時期形成的,通常是基于父母和周圍人對我們的評價;第二面鏡子是青春期的鏡子,在成長的歲月里,我們被推進大自然的世界,脫離了家的保護,意識到自己的不同;第三面鏡子來自社會建構(gòu)的美的觀念。作者通過介紹這三面鏡子,告訴我們真正的美來自內(nèi)心,要接受自己的一切。由此可推知,這篇文章的主要目的是告訴我們要擁抱我們真正的內(nèi)在美,故選D。
16.C 17.B 18.A 19.B 20.D
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章論述了作者對于極限運動危險性的認(rèn)識。
16.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Sprts like dwnhill cycling are very dangerus because ne wuld be ging dwnhill, ver rcky r dirt zne, thrugh frests, even at ptentially deadly speeds. A slip up culd be yur dwnfall.(像高山自行車這樣的運動是非常危險的,因為你會下坡,越過巖石或泥土地帶,穿過森林,即使以潛在的致命速度。一失足就可能導(dǎo)致你的失敗)”可推知,作者第一段提及高山自行車是為了說明極限運動確實有危險性。故選C。
17.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中的“T mst peple, extreme sprts are extreme simply because they take mre skill than what an average persn has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing becme a daily rutine. That des nt wipe ut the danger, but it greatly reduces it.(對大多數(shù)人來說,極限運動之所以是極限運動,僅僅是因為它們需要比普通人更多的技巧。一個運動員運用技巧和訓(xùn)練是一個極端的事情被提上日程。這并不能完全消除危險,但可以大大減少危險)”可知,第二段主要討論了在極限運動中,運動員的技巧在保障自身安全的過程中是非常重要的。故選B。
18.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Sme view parkur, the sprts f running, jumping and climbing under, arund and thrugh buildings, as an extreme sprt, while it is mre f a life philsphy, where the athlete des nt have t d anything remtely dangerus. Free sling, which means climbing a rck r ice face withut safety gear, is abslutely deadly, where ne slip means almst certain death, depending n the height, f curse. Skatebarding is relatively safe, but if yu cnstantly find ridiculus places t practice n, like the fence f a bridge, then things can get very cmplicated. The extreme part depends n the athlete.(一些人把跑酷(跑、跳、爬建筑物下面、周圍和穿過建筑物的運動)視為一種極限運動,但它更像是一種生活哲學(xué),運動員不必做任何危險的事情。自由獨攀,也就是在沒有安全裝備的情況下攀爬巖石或冰面,絕對是致命的,一次滑倒幾乎就意味著死亡,當(dāng)然,這取決于高度?;逑鄬Π踩?,但如果你經(jīng)常找一些可笑的地方練習(xí),比如橋的柵欄,那么事情就會變得非常復(fù)雜。極限部分取決于運動員)”可推知,在第4段中,列舉了幾種極限運動來解釋危險取決于運動員。故選A。
19.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“T summarize, yes, extreme sprts are dangerus, but the danger depends n the athlete, their chice f sprt, directin in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Sme things are ut f ur reach f cntrl, while thers we can influence thrugh exercise and healthier risk chices.(總之,是的,極限運動是危險的,但危險取決于運動員,他們對運動的選擇,他們采取的方向,以及環(huán)境。有些事情是我們無法控制的,而有些事情我們可以通過鍛煉和更健康的風(fēng)險選擇來影響)”可推知,作者對極限運動的看法是客觀的。故選B。
20.主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段“T summarize, yes, extreme sprts are dangerus, but the danger depends n the athlete, their chice f sprt, directin in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Sme things are ut f ur reach f cntrl, while thers we can influence thrugh exercise and healthier risk chices.(總之,是的,極限運動是危險的,但危險取決于運動員,他們對運動的選擇,他們采取的方向,以及環(huán)境。有些事情是我們無法控制的,而有些事情我們可以通過鍛煉和更健康的風(fēng)險選擇來影響)”及前文論述可知,作者認(rèn)為極限運動的危險和很多因素都有關(guān),不能簡單地把極限運動和危險等同起來。由此可知,Are Extreme Sprts Really That Dangerus?(極限運動真的那么危險嗎?)適合作本文最佳標(biāo)題。故選D。
21.C 22.D 23.A 24.B 25.A
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章先解釋了信任的含義和重要性,進而說明了導(dǎo)致自己不被信任的原因以及做到信任自己的方法和意義。
21.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Trust as explained in Wikepedia (維基百科) is the feeling f being sure smene r smething can be relied upn.(維基百科解釋說,信任是一種確信某人或某事可以信賴的感覺。)”可知,第一段引用了維基百科中對“信任”的定義,解釋了“信任”這個詞的含義,并說明“信任”與每個人息息相關(guān)。因此第一段話起到了解釋說明的作用。故選C項。
22.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段“When yu shift yur energy within yurself and find yur place f lve and wrth then yur view f this wrld will change fr the better.(當(dāng)你把精力轉(zhuǎn)移到自己身上,找到愛和價值所在時,你對這個世界的看法就會變得更好。)”以及“Our true self is ne f lve and feeling wrthy f all f the gdness and happiness.(真實的自我是愛和感覺的化身,配得上所有的美好和幸福。)”可知,如果你想要擁有一個積極的人生態(tài)度,那么你應(yīng)該時刻做真正的自己。故選D項。
23.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Smetimes we need t give urselves a break and t be mst lving, mst kind and mst patient with us.(有時候我們需要讓自己休息一下,對自己最有愛心、最善良、最有耐心。)”可知,當(dāng)你失敗或者感到失落時,你應(yīng)該停下來調(diào)整下自己。故選A項。
24.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“Meditatin (沉思) can bridge that trust that we can have in urselves.(沉思可以建立起我們對自己的信任。)”可知,沉思可以讓我們擁有對自己的信任,可以讓我們從不信任變得信任。故選B項。
25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“When yu chse t help yurself then yu chse t trust yurself. Trust can lead us t a life f peace and lve and fulfillment. The wrld has its wn prgrams. Trust in lve and peace and live yur life like yu mean it!(當(dāng)你選擇幫助自己時,你就選擇了相信自己。信任可以引導(dǎo)我們走向和平、愛和充實的生活。世界各有各的程序。相信愛與和平,過你想要的生活!)”可知,作者寫這篇文章的目的就是告訴我們要相信自己。故選A項。
26.A 27.C 28.B 29.D 30.A
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章告訴讀者為什么丑陋的建筑值得保存。
26.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“I think yu culd say we preservatinists (文物保護者) lk at buildings thrugh a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the stry in the simple lines, the bk behind the cver. (我想你可以說,我們保護主義者從一個不同的角度看建筑——一個可以看到丑小鴨中的天鵝,簡單線條中的故事,封面后面的書的角度)”可知,保護主義者關(guān)注的是建筑的價值而不是外觀。故選A。
27.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Unfrtunately, the brise-sleil was remved in 2011, making the building lk like many f the cntemprary buildings in twn. (不幸的是,2011年,遮陽板被拆除,使得這座建筑看起來像城里的許多當(dāng)代建筑)”可知,作者拆除艾瑪女王大廈的遮陽板是遺憾的事情。故選C。
28.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Yes, it was a tragedy that many failed t appreciate the Victrian buildings and let many get trn dwn several decades ag, but thse lsses als tell anther imprtant stry. It tells the stry f the 1950s and 1960s when there was hpe fr a mre equal sciety with inexpensive husing fr the wrking class. (是的,這是一個悲劇,許多人沒有欣賞維多利亞時代的建筑,讓許多在幾十年前被拆除,但這些損失也講述了另一個重要的故事。它講述了20世紀(jì)50年代和60年代的故事,當(dāng)時人們希望建立一個更平等的社會,為工人階級提供廉價的住房)”可知,舊金山很多維多利亞時代的建筑被拆除,是為了騰出土地為工人階級建造廉價住房。故選B項。
29.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Time and time again, I hear smene ask why anyne wuld want t keep an “ugly” building r a building that is dirty and clearly in need f wrk. I think yu culd say we preservatinists (文物保護者) lk at buildings thrugh a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the stry in the simple lines, the bk behind the cver. (一次又一次,我聽到有人問,為什么有人想要保留一個“丑陋”的建筑,或者一個很臟,顯然需要維修的建筑。我想你可以說,我們保護主義者從一個不同的角度看建筑——一個可以看到丑小鴨中的天鵝,簡單線條中的故事,封面后面的書的角度)”以及最后一段“Preservatin is nt just abut keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but abut cnveying parts f ur histry — nt just the histry f huge events, but the stry f hw everyne used t g t a certain crner market. Our histry cannt be tld nly in buildings that meet smene’s criteria f beauty; smetimes ur histry is painful, but n less imprtant. (保護不僅僅是保存漂亮、保存完好的建筑,而是要傳達我們的部分歷史——不僅僅是重大事件的歷史,而是每個人過去如何去某個角落市場的故事。我們的歷史不能只用符合某些人審美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的建筑來講述;我們的歷史有時是痛苦的,但同樣重要)”結(jié)合文章告訴讀者為什么丑陋的建筑值得保存??赏浦?,作者寫這篇文章的目的是強調(diào)保存丑陋建筑物的重要性。故選D。
30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Preservatin is nt just abut keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but abut cnveying parts f ur histry — nt just the histry f huge events, but the stry f hw everyne used t g t a certain crner market. Our histry cannt be tld nly in buildings that meet smene’s criteria f beauty; smetimes ur histry is painful, but n less imprtant. (保護不僅僅是保存漂亮、保存完好的建筑,而是要傳達我們的部分歷史——不僅僅是重大事件的歷史,而是每個人過去如何去某個角落市場的故事。我們的歷史不能只用符合某些人審美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的建筑來講述;我們的歷史有時是痛苦的,但同樣重要)”以及文章告訴讀者為什么丑陋的建筑值得保存??赏浦恼逻x自文化論文。故選A。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章論述了帶孩子去圖書館的好處——圖書館提供的資源和它們所倡導(dǎo)的價值觀正在使孩子們成為更好的人。
31.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“It’s a strng memry that I have frm my wn childhd and I cherish the idea f repeating it with my kids. (這是我童年時的一段美好回憶,我很珍惜能和孩子們一起重復(fù)這段經(jīng)歷)”可推知,作者小時候喜歡去圖書館。故選C。
32.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Libraries were participating in a sharing ecnmy lng befre Netflix r Airbnb. Sharing cpies f bks, DVDs and ther media has a majr envirnmental advantage ver purchasing new cpies. What’s mre, libraries make a cmmitment t sharing, which is s beneficial and can be carried ver int the rest f ur lives.(早在Netflix或Airbnb之前,圖書館就參與了共享經(jīng)濟。共享書籍、DVD和其他媒體的拷貝比購買新拷貝具有重大的環(huán)境優(yōu)勢。此外,圖書館致力于共享,這是非常有益的,可以延續(xù)到我們的余生)”可推知,作者提到了Netflix和Airbnb,以表明圖書館長期以來都是共享經(jīng)濟的代表。故選C。
33.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Fr my kids, learning abut hw ur library bks are just n lan t us and belng t everyne in the cmmunity was the first lessn n hw t take care f things s that they can last and be used by many peple. The idea f treating things as imprtant lng-lasting bjects instead f dispsable (一次性的) nes was easy t drive hme when it was cnnected t the library bks that they lve checking ut.(對我的孩子們來說,了解到我們圖書館的書是如何借給我們的,屬于社區(qū)里的每個人,這是如何照顧好東西,讓它們可以被很多人使用的第一課。把東西視為重要的、持久的物品,而不是一次性物品,當(dāng)它與他們喜歡借閱的圖書館書籍連接在一起時,就很容易讓人理解)”可推知,孩子們意識到圖書館的書是公共財產(chǎn),這有助于他們學(xué)會珍惜好東西并把它們傳承下去。故選D。
34.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Every time they pick ut bks in the library, whether they are infrmative r very silly, they’re learning abut hw the wrld wrks, and strengthening their imaginatins.(每次他們在圖書館挑書的時候,無論它們是增長見聞的還是非常愚蠢的,他們都在了解世界是如何運作的,并增強了他們的想象力)”可知,作者可能同意廣泛閱讀可以激發(fā)孩子們的想象力。故選B。
35.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Hwever, the mre time I spend at the library with my family, the mre I realize that its benefits g beynd just a bag f new bks t read. The resurces libraries prvide and the values they advcate are making my kids int better humans.(然而,我和家人待在圖書館的時間越長,我就越意識到它的好處不僅僅是一袋新書可以讀。圖書館提供的資源和它們所倡導(dǎo)的價值觀正在使我的孩子成為更好的人)”及下文論述可知,文章主要論述了帶孩子去圖書館的好處。由此可知,Benefits f Visiting the Library with Kids適合作本文標(biāo)題。故選A。
36.B 37.C 38.D 39.C 40.D
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇議論文。文章通過一些事例表明了年輕人相信自己改變世界的力量是多么的重要。
36.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Our mdern sciety is terribly cnfused abut the difference between a celebrity and a her.”(我們的現(xiàn)代社會對于名人和英雄之間的區(qū)別非常困惑。)可知,作者說出我們對“名人和英雄的區(qū)別”很困惑,所以接下來講到了“A celebrity is all abut fame – temprary, superficial fame, usually fr qualities that are easy t see: a pretty face, a great dance mve, etc. A her, by cntrast, is abut character- qualities under the surface that aren’t seen until they take actin.”(名人就是名聲——暫時的、膚淺的名聲,通常是因為那些顯而易見的品質(zhì):漂亮的臉蛋、出色的舞姿等等。相比之下,英雄是關(guān)于性格的——只有在他們采取行動之前才會被發(fā)現(xiàn)的表面之下的品質(zhì)。)這是對區(qū)別的闡述,所以可推知整段文章其實就在討論名人和英雄之間的區(qū)別。故選B項。
37.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中“Heres are all arund us. They truly hld ur wrld tgether, thrugh their unselfish devtin t helping thers, teaching children, and prtecting the envirnment. They dn’t want fame, r glry; they just want t help.”(英雄就在我們身邊。他們無私地致力于幫助他人、教育孩子和保護環(huán)境,真正地將我們的世界團結(jié)在一起。他們不需要名聲或榮耀;他們只是想幫忙。)可知,英雄無私地致力于幫助他人,真正地將我們的世界團結(jié)在一起,由此可推知,他們在維護世界方面起到了很重要的作用,因此劃線部分為“英雄在維持世界運轉(zhuǎn)方面起著至關(guān)重要的作用?!惫蔬xC項。
38.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“What gets lst in this? Yung peple’s sense f their wn ptential fr heric qualities – their wn pwer t – make a psitive difference in the wrld.”(這其中遺漏了什么?年輕人意識到自己具有英雄品質(zhì)的潛力——他們自己的力量——對世界產(chǎn)生積極的影響。)可推知,年輕人在自我能力上產(chǎn)生了迷失,他們對自己改變世界的力量沒有信心。故選D項。
39.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“Hw d we help yung peple believe in their wn pwer? The best way is simply t share examples f ther yung peple wh have made a difference.”(我們?nèi)绾螏椭贻p人相信自己的力量?最好的方法就是分享其他做出改變的年輕人的例子。)可知,作者想用分享年輕人用自己的力量做出有影響的事的例子,來論證自己的觀點。接下來列舉Barbara年輕人的事例,來說明年輕人具有成為英雄的潛力。再根據(jù)最后一段“The list culd cntinue. These are but a few examples f yung peple wh have discvered that they can build n their wn energy t d smething great.”(這樣的例子還有很多。這些只是年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)自己可以利用自己的精力做一些偉大事情的幾個例子。)可知,作者就是用舉例的方式來進一步闡述自己的觀點。故選C項。
40.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“The third ne leaves sme peple wndering why yung peple’s belief in their wn pwer is s essential.”(第三個愿望讓一些人疑惑,為什么年輕人相信自己的力量如此重要。)以及最后一段中“These are but a few examples f yung peple wh have discvered that they can build n their wn energy t d smething great.”(這些只是年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)自己可以利用自己的精力做一些偉大事情的幾個例子。)可知,作者開頭以“相信自己的力量”點題,結(jié)合第4題分析,文中列舉了幾個通過自己的力量做出改變的例子,結(jié)尾又以“自己的力量”與首段呼應(yīng),可知,整篇文章講的是年輕人應(yīng)該相信自己有能力做出有影響力有意義的事。故選 D項。
41.D 42.C 43.C 44.B 45.A
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇議論文。作者認(rèn)為成功是一種選擇,而不是單純靠機遇,我們要對自己思考后做出的選擇負(fù)責(zé),也要對自己生活的方方面面負(fù)責(zé)任。這樣,我們才會離成功更進一步。
41.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Peple with lw self-esteem are peple wh d nt believe that they have any pwer, r respnsibility fr their lives. They are leaves tssed by the winds f chance blwn abut with any sudden change in the weather.”(低自尊的人是那些不相信自己有任何能力或?qū)ψ约旱纳钬?fù)責(zé)的人。它們是隨風(fēng)飄動的樹葉,隨著天氣的突然變化而隨風(fēng)飄動)可知,把低自尊的人比作樹葉是因為他們不相信自己有能力和責(zé)任控制自己的人生,就像樹葉一樣隨著機會的改變而隨風(fēng)搖擺。故選D。
42.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.”(失敗者認(rèn)為一切都是偶然發(fā)生的)可知,失敗者認(rèn)為每件事的發(fā)生都是偶然和隨機的,因此他們把失敗歸結(jié)于運氣不好。故選C。
43.細節(jié)理解題。第一段提到“Instead, realize that the seeds f success were planted within yu when yu were brn. Only yu have the pwer t make thse seeds grw.”(相反,要意識到成功的種子在你出生的時候就已經(jīng)種在你的體內(nèi)了。只有你有能力讓這些種子成長。)和第二段提到“Success is a chice and nt a chance. Yu were brn a winner. Yu were brn rich. Yu can be a success if nly yu make the right chice.”(成功是一種選擇,而不是一種機會。你天生就是個贏家。你生而富有。只要你做出正確的選擇,你就能成功。)根據(jù)這兩句可以得出:成功與否是基于人自身的態(tài)度,成功的種子已經(jīng)種植于心,只有自己才能讓成功長出果實,A項正確。第五段提到“Our success is dependent upn ur level f cnfidence.”(我們的成功取決于我們的自信程度。)自信也能引導(dǎo)成功,B項正確。倒數(shù)第三段提到“We are respnsible fr setting ur expectatins.”(我們有責(zé)任設(shè)定我們的期望。)設(shè)置我們的期望也是很有必要的。D項正確。文章中并沒有提到想法和信仰與創(chuàng)造性思維之間的關(guān)系。C項不正確。故選C。
44.推理判斷題。最后一段“In shrt, in all areas f yur life, whether they be financial, physical, emtinal, r spiritual, yu are respnsible.”(簡而言之,在你生活的方方面面,無論是經(jīng)濟上、身體上、情感上還是精神上,你都有責(zé)任)是作者對論點的總結(jié),說明我們要取得成功,就要對生活的各個方面負(fù)責(zé)。也可從關(guān)鍵詞“In shrt”(總而言之)看出,這一段的作用是總結(jié)觀點。故選B。
45.主旨大意題。通過第一段“Instead, realize that the seeds f success were planted within yu when yu were brn. Only yu have the pwer t make thse seeds grw.”(相反,要意識到成功的種子在你出生的時候就已經(jīng)在你內(nèi)心埋下了。只有你有能力讓這些種子生長)可以看出,作者認(rèn)為我們有能力去把握成功。第二段“Success is a chice and nt a chance. Yu were brn a winner. Yu were brn rich. Yu can be a success if nly yu make the right chice.”(成功是一種選擇,而不是一種機會。你是天生的贏家。你生而富有。只要你做出正確的選擇,你就能成功)表明作者的觀點:成功是一種選擇而不是機會,只要做出正確的選擇,就可以成功。而下文都是圍繞要想成功就要把握機會做出正確的選擇而展開。文章結(jié)尾也是對這一中心論點的總結(jié)。因此標(biāo)題也要按照“成功是一種選擇”這一論點來確定。A項“Success Is a Chice.”(成功是一個選擇)該項符合文意。故選A。
46.D 47.A 48.C 49.B 50.C
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。你的使命感是什么?你的人生目標(biāo)是什么?你來到這個世界是為了做什么?本文主要探討了人活著的意義。
46.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一自然段“There are even scientific studies that shw peple wh view their wrk as a calling rather than just a career r a jb have a higher life and wrk satisfactin. (甚至有科學(xué)研究表明,將工作視為一種使命而不僅僅是一種職業(yè)或工作的人,他們的生活和工作滿意度更高。)”以及第四自然段“ Mre s, I thught this calling meant having ne passin we were brn with t pursue relentlessly (不懈地). (更重要的是,我認(rèn)為這種使命感意味著擁有一種與生俱來的激情,那就是堅持不懈地追求。)”可知,使命感指的是強烈的工作欲望或責(zé)任感。故選D。
47.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四自然段“ Financial gain and external recgnitin were pretty much the nly drivers I knew. (財務(wù)收益和外部認(rèn)可幾乎是我所知道的唯一驅(qū)動因素。)”可知,作者以前尋找滿足感的驅(qū)動因素是財務(wù)收益和外部認(rèn)可。故選A。
48.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三自然段“ It is abut ding smething that we lve. It is abut fcusing ur effrts and spending ur time n passins that light the spark inside f us and allw us t share with the wrld the unique gifts we pssess. (這是關(guān)于做一些我們喜歡的事情。這是關(guān)于把我們的努力和時間集中在激情上,這些激情點燃了我們內(nèi)心的火花,讓我們能夠與世界分享我們所擁有的獨特天賦。)”可知,根據(jù)作者的說法,生活的真正目的是用我們的激情做有意義的事情。故選C。
49.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五自然段“I discvered during that time passins I had n idea I even had. Yet, I wasn’t sure hw t make them int my life purpse. (在那段時間里,我發(fā)現(xiàn)了我甚至不知道自己有過的激情。然而,我不知道如何讓它們成為我的人生目標(biāo)。)”可知,根據(jù)第5段可知,作者過去認(rèn)為他一點激情都沒有。故選B。
50.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“We all have a lnging fr lives that give meaning t ur existence. The difference lies in hw we g abut accmplishing this. We must each find ur wn “shine” and then shine n. (我們都渴望能夠賦予我們存在意義的生活。不同之處在于我們?nèi)绾螌崿F(xiàn)這一點。我們每個人都必須找到自己的“閃光點”,然后發(fā)光發(fā)熱。)”可知,從本文我們可以總結(jié)出,我們每個人要找到自己的使命,并充滿活力地追求它。故選C。
