8.How to live life to the fullest
"Life is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you're going to get."But for those who take critical decisions,life can be different.How true that is!Stare life in the face as you experience it like a roller coaster ride.(36)G Life is made up of choices and decision-making is critical as each choice has both consequences and benefits.Please weigh the latter and always choose life.Always ask what you can learn and how you can move forward,and stop yourself from blaming other people if things aren't the way you would like them to be.
Seize the day.(37)E Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift-that's why it's called the present.Life presents us with a lifetime of opportunities,but the opportunities of a lifetime are got when right choices are followed.Be present to enjoy the moment.Each day is a fresh start with choices just waiting to be explored,so what are you waiting for?
(38)B This is a great way to live life.It means accepting your present the way it is,and offering no resistance to it.However,it does not mean not trying to change it.It means being truly yourself,accepting the present around you,then trying to change it.Often ask yourself:"Has my resistance helped me in any way?"Remember:"Life goes on."
Accept yourself.Don't judge yourself.This is the very first step you must take if you really want to live life to the fullest.Why?Because if you're judging yourself or thinking part of you is wrong,you'll limit yourself.(39)F
(40)A No matter what the situation you find yourself in,always be focused on what you can be learning from it,how you can be growing,and what you can be taking away from it,so that you can respond to similar situations more effectively in the future.
A.Always be learning.B.Fully accept the present.C.Go on enjoying your life.D.Show a positive attitude.E.Live each day as if it's your last day.F.And if you limit yourself,you can't live life to the fullest.G.The meaning of your life is something you create day after day with your own actions and thoughts.
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了幾條建議關(guān)于如何過的充實,你生命的意義就在于你如復一日的通過自己的選擇和決定去創(chuàng)造.
解答 36.G.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)本段后文Life is made up of choices and decision-making is critical as each choice has both consequences and benefits可知這里主要表示人生要自己做選擇,自己做決定,而選項G意為"你生命的意義就在于你如復一日的通過自己的選擇和決定去創(chuàng)造",符合語境,故選G.
37.E.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)前面的標題Seize the day可知這段主要講述要把握今天,而選項E表示把每個今天當成自己人生中的最后一天來生活,符合語境,故選E.
38.B.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后文It means accepting your present the way it is,可知這段話表示要接受現(xiàn)在的生活,才能去創(chuàng)造更好的生活,而選項B意為"完全接受生活",符合語境,故選B.
39.F.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)前文Because if you're judging yourself or thinking part of you is wrong,you'll limit yourself,可知我們不能限制我們自己,否則會享受不到生活的快了,而選項F正符合這個意思,故選F.
40.A.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后文always be focused on what you can be learning from it,可知這段講述的是在生活中我們要無時無刻不去學習東西,而選項A就是這個意思,故選A.
點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.
