1.[C]推理判断题。
本题考查隐含的因果关系。
第1段破折号后面的内容为隐含的原因,由此可见C为本题正确选项A没有原文依据,选项B与结论并无合理的因果关系,选项D对原文有曲解,原文是说这个问题使作者想起了年轻时候的往事,而并不是选项D中说的leamfromthequestion。
2.[D]事实细节题。
本题考查复合句的理解。
第2段首句中dotheverybestwecan与第2句Weknow...itsourchallenge表明选项D为本题正确答案。
本题最具干扰性的是选项C,其中的challenge在第2句明确提到,但是此处的challenge不是指挑战生活,而是指本句第一个分句中提到的"
让所有事情完美"
。
3.[A]主旨大意题。
本段第1句是主题句,理解这个同位语从句是关键,只有选项A表达了这一句的意思。
要注意其中surrender的宾语是thefactthatlifeisntfair,而不是life,这样就可以否定最具干扰性的B选项了。
4.[B]词义推断题。
本题考查this所指的理解。
最后一段倒数第2句中,thisverybasicfact指的是本句的从句中的theinjusticesoftheworld,另外,短语thefactthatlifeisntfair在文中反复出现,是本文的主题,因此结合上下文可以推出答案。
其余三项虽然在文中均有提及,但只是个别细节,并非作者反复强调的中心话题。
5.[A]观点态度题。
作者批评了自怜的情绪,提出对他人要有同情心,强调承认生活不公平并不是向生活妥协,而是将我们从自我怜悯中摆脱出来,采取一些有积极意义的行动,由此可见,作者对生活的态度是积极的,即选项A。
