Question

【題目】閱讀理解
It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we've got some time to kill.
I know where you think I'm going with this, and I also know you've heard it all before: seize the day, make the most of it, live life to its fullest, and so on. But that's the problem. You've heard it all before. These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché. Luckily, that's not my thing.
The real answers wake something up inside you. They make you think. That's what I want to give you today, the story of Bobby Darin, which wakes you up to the truth.
If you haven't heard of the man, I know you've heard his songs. Among his many hits are Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover, and Splish Splash.
If seven years, Darin had several top ten hit songs, was nominated(提名) for four Grammy Awards (winning two), nominated for four Golden Globes (winning one), and even nominated for an Oscar.
So what was his secret?
All his life, Darin had a heart condition that developed from a childhood illness. The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited. And this was secret. He knew the truth. He knew that we all have such a hard time accepting: Life is short. You can't just say it; you can't just hear it. You have to know it, believe it, and feel it. Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage. He knew, without a doubt, his time was limited.
There was no fooling himself, no putting it off. It was now or never.

【解析】本文通過著名歌星達(dá)林的故事告訴我們生命雖長不要浪費(fèi)生命，不要消磨時(shí)光，好好享受生命。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文章第一段“It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we've got some time to kill.”意思是我們似乎有很多時(shí)間，時(shí)間越長我們推遲的越久，因?yàn)槲覀冇X得我們應(yīng)該可以消磨時(shí)間，而選項(xiàng)A的意思是因?yàn)槲覀冇袝r(shí)間數(shù)拇指，意思也是消磨時(shí)間，故選A。
（2）推理判斷。These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché.這句話的意思是這些思想的影響已經(jīng)成為老生常談了。其中A的意思是座右銘，B：傳說，C：經(jīng)常的談?wù)摚珼：久違的詩句，根據(jù)句意的理解，故選C。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)推斷，題干意思是我們可以從文中了解到Bobby Darin什么信息，根據(jù)文中倒數(shù)第二段“Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage.”因?yàn)樗�知道他的時(shí)間有限，所以他會讓他僅有的生命更美好。其中選項(xiàng)D的意思是他對自己的病采取了積極的態(tài)度。而其他選項(xiàng)在文中都找不到相應(yīng)的語句，故選D。
（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文中“The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited.”意思是醫(yī)生說他很幸運(yùn)地能活到16歲，換句話說他的生命是短暫的。故選A。
