分析 本文為社會生活類說明文,幸福就在身邊,文章介紹了如何尋找身邊的幸福;作者提出了一些具體的建議:一、列愛的清單; 二、尋找失去聯系的朋友;三、往好的方面想.
解答 16.答案是E.細節(jié)理解題;本句的上文和下文都在描述人生所遭遇的不如意的事,所以這里也是說明"疾病和死亡"這樣不如意的事,故選E.
17.答案是B.細節(jié)理解題;該句承上啟下;上文講述生活中的種種不如意,下文分析如何找到幸福;故推斷這里說明的是"幸福就在我們身邊,與金錢和環(huán)境無關";答案選B.
18.答案是A.主旨大意題;由下文第一句"If I'm feeling low,one of the best ways I know to cheer up is to make a love list."可知,情緒低落時,最好的一個方法就是列"愛的清單"下文繼續(xù)分析具體做法;故該部分在主旨是"列愛的清單",答案是A.
19.答案是G.細節(jié)理解題;由上文中"seek out people that I've lost touch with (找出失去聯系的那些人)"推斷要通過某種方法與這些人聯系,故判斷可通過發(fā)送郵件聯系,答案是G.
20.答案是F.細節(jié)理解題;該部分的主題是"Think Positively往好的方面想",即要樂觀(optimistic);故選F.
