【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、CD項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戲裝),finally she agreed.

The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.

The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”

It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.

試題分析:

【1】據(jù)第一段可知Tom得了癌癥,并且經(jīng)歷了多次手術(shù)。屬于同義重現(xiàn)故選A

【2】推理判斷題 可以通過排除法解題。A選項我們可以從第三段"Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戲裝), but finally she agreed."得知Tom的母親本不想購買戲裝,因為昂貴,得知A選項是有錢人錯誤;同時根據(jù)此句可得知B選項錯誤,屬于無中生有,因為最后母親同意購買戲裝; C選項文章中未提及,故正確項為D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第四段第一句話appeared as the powerful Superman可以得出答案。另外,也可以通過排除法解答。選項A假裝疼痛文章未提及,C情緒低落選項與文章表達(dá)不一致,D和母親爭吵文章未提及。屬于同義重現(xiàn)。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句話"Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream."得知正確選項為C。屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。本解析為名師解析團(tuán)隊原創(chuàng),授權(quán)獨家使用,如有盜用,依法追責(zé)!

【5】寫作目的題 文章出現(xiàn)最多的詞是 imagination,所以答案自然要選含有這個詞的選項了。此外,也可以根據(jù)第一段的第一句話Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.和最后一段的最后一句話So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.得出答案。屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。

An Extension of the Human Brain

Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺),much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a social prosthetic (義肢的)system.Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.

Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.

Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a new idea,I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.

These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).

But that’s the upside (好處). The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.

【題目】閱讀理解

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy (人生哲學(xué)): Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, don’t know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.

I can’t count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer (結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地說), “I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: It’s just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.

Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I’m going to” , “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”

When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.

Now ... go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to not something on your SHOULD DO list.

【1】The example of the writer’s sister serves as ________.

A. an argument B. an introduction

C. a support D. a conclusion

【2】The writer thinks that the excuse “It’s just Monday.” is acceptable, because _______.

A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later

B. it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses

C. it shows respect for the writer’s suggestion

D. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together

【3】The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “________” .

A. appropriate B. influential

C. practical D. evident

【4】What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?

A. To suggest how time flies in our life.

B. To persuade busy people to relax after work.

C. To advise people to keep their promise to ourselves.

D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.
