16.A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her,she did not know she was going to make it and want to give up.She was tired of fighting and struggling.It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father,a cook,took her to the kitchen,He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.Soon the pots came to a boil.In one he placed carrots,in the second he placed eggs,and in the last he placed ground coffee beans.He let them sit and boil,without saying a word.
The daughter impatiently waited,wondering what he was doing.In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners.He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.He pulled the eggs out and placed them on a plate.Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a glass.Turning to her he asked,"Darling,what do you see?""Carrots,eggs,and coffee."she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots,she did and noted that they were soft.He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell,she observed the hard-boiled egg.Finally,he asked her to taste the coffee.She smiled,as she tasted it.
"What does it mean,F(xiàn)ather?"she asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity,boiling water,but each reacted differently.The carrot went in strong and hard.But after being subjected to the boiling water,it's softened and weak.The egg had been fragile.Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior(內(nèi)部),but after sitting through the boiling water,its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique; however,after they were in the boiling water,they changed the water.
"Which are you?"he asked his daughter.When adversity knocks on your door in your life,how do you respond?Are you a carrot,an egg or a coffee bean?

分析 文章介紹一個女孩告訴爸爸她不知道生活如何成功,厭倦于努力,奮斗,想放棄,爸爸將她帶到廚房,用胡蘿卜,雞蛋和咖啡分別在鍋里面煮,讓孩子看這三種東西的反應(yīng),從而啟發(fā)孩子在逆境的時候應(yīng)該怎么做.
解答 8.答案 A 細(xì)節(jié)題.A項意為"她發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中充滿困難,而她無能為力".由第一段第一句"A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her,she did not know she was going to make it and want to give up."可知,女兒不知道要怎樣去面對生活的艱難,并且想要放棄,A項正確.其它三項第一段均未提及,故錯誤.故正確答案為A.
9.答案 C 細(xì)節(jié)題.C項意為"每個鍋中發(fā)生了不同的變化".由第五段第二句"He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity,boiling water,but each reacted differently."可知,三種食物在鍋中與熱水發(fā)生了不同的反應(yīng),故C項正確.A項,由第四段第一句"He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots,she did and noted that they were soft."可知,煮后的胡蘿卜變軟,A項錯誤;B項,由第四段第三句"After pulling off the shell,she observed the hard-boiled egg."可知,煮后的雞蛋變硬了,B項錯誤;D項,由第五段第二句"He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity,boiling water,but each reacted differently."可知,三種食物在鍋中與熱水發(fā)生了不同的反應(yīng),D項錯誤.故正確答案為C.
10.答案 B 推斷題.由全文主旨可知,父親通過把三種食物煮熟,觀察它們的變化來教育女兒如何應(yīng)對生活中的困難.因此可以推知,adversity 具有"困難,逆境"的意思,與 hardship 是近義詞.A項"溫度",C項"要求",D項"態(tài)度",均不符合文意.故正確答案為B.
11.答案 D 主旨題.文章第一段講女兒由于對生活中的困難無能為力而想要放棄.第二、三段講父親將胡蘿卜、雞蛋和咖啡煮熟,第四、五、六段講父親讓女兒感受并向她解釋三種食物煮熟后的變化,教育女兒面對困難時應(yīng)該像雞蛋一樣變得堅強,像咖啡一樣做些改變.故D項"當(dāng)遇到困難時,人們可以變得堅強并做出一些改變"正確.A項,"人們抱怨生活中的困難是正常的",文中未提及,故A項錯誤;B項,"父親教導(dǎo)女兒怎樣在家做飯",全文主旨是父親教會女兒如何面對困難,而不是教女兒做飯,故B項錯誤;C項,"烹飪時胡蘿卜、雞蛋、咖啡是怎樣變化的",全文主旨是父親用食物烹飪時發(fā)生的變化這一現(xiàn)象教會女兒如何面對困難,而不僅僅是三種食物在烹飪時發(fā)生的變化,故C項錯誤.故正確答案為D.
點評 首先,對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.
其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀文章后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.
最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).
