Ⅴ.阅读理解

You may probably meet most of the powerful graduation speakers, here who are well-known people in their fields. I think the schools couldn’t have picked better speakers than them, because they set good examples,deeply inspiring us in our daily life.

Steve Jobs, Stanford University:

“Remembering you’re going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice…”

Oprah Winfrey, Stanford University:

“I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school… And the secret I’ve learned to get ahead is being open to the lessons from the grandest universe of all. Don’t react against a bad situation. And the solution will arise from the challenge. So don’t give up easily, acting with responsibility…”

Bono, University of Pennsylvania:

“For four years you’ve been buying, trading, and selling everything you’ve got in this marketplace of ideas. Your pockets are full, even if your parents’ are empty, and now you’ve got to figure out what to spend it on… The world is more flexible than you think and it’s waiting for you to hammer it into shape…”

Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin:

“Now it’s time for you to move on to what’s next and obtain your desire. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. Don’t spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, or sometimes you’ll miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures and obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others.”

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A great life doesn’t happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating (分配) your time, energy and hard work towards what you want your life to be. Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure. 1.　　　　 Make the following secrets fit your own needs and style, and start creating your own great life today! 

A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what “simplify” means. 2.　　　　 Instead, it’s a way to free up your energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it first. 

A great life is the result of removing distractions(分心之事). Up to 75% of your mental energy can be used in things that are not important but distracting you. Look around at someone’s life you admire. What do they do that you would like to adopt in your own life? Ask them how they did it. 3.　　　 

A great life is the result of your adjustments. 4.　　　　It may mean thinking about again how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that agree with your particular definition of a great life. 

 5.　　　　There’s the old saying that everyone is familiar with “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start.

1.C　细节理解题。根据Steve Jobs,Stanford University中的第一、二、三句“‘Remembering you’re going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.’”可知,史蒂夫·乔布斯告诫人们要跟随自己的内心;你的时间有限,所以不要浪费时间去过别人的生活。由此可知史蒂夫·乔布斯想要表达不要活在遗憾中,故选C。

2.D　细节理解题。根据Oprah Winfrey,Stanford University中的“‘So don’t give up easily,acting with responsibility…’”可知Oprah Winfrey告诉人们不要轻易放弃,带着责任去行动,即要勇敢并且坚持到底,故选D。

3.B　推理判断题。根据Michael Dell,University of Texas at Austin中的第一、二句“‘Now it’s time for you to move on to what’s next and obtain your desire. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps.’”可知他是在鼓励人们追求梦想。故选B。

4.A　推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“I think the schools couldn’t have picked better speakers than them, because they set good examples, deeply inspiring us in our daily life.”可知我们能从这些强有力的毕业演讲中得到一些人生经验,故选A。

Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美好生活的含义以及过美好生活的具体方法。

1.B　由上句 “Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure.” 可知“开始安排你的生活,迎接成功和从容”符合题意,故选B。

2.E　根据“People often misunderstand what ‘simplify’ means.”可知,人们通常对简化有误解。结合后文“Instead, it’s a way to free up your energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here.”可知,此处是对简化生活的错误理解,即“简化不是……”。故选E。

3.G　根据本空前的内容“看看周围那些令你羡慕的人的生活吧。看自己能从他们身上学到些什么?请教他们是如何做到的。”可知,向你羡慕的人请教,你就能找到方法来把精力集中到更重要的事情上。故选G。

4.D　本段的中心句是“A great life is the result of your adjustments.(美好的生活是你调整的结果。)”。adjustments“调整”即是改变,也就是D项中的“make some changes”,且本段中的“…thinking about again…in a different way.”及“…looking for new ways…”都指向“make some changes”,故选D项。

5.A　本空是本段的主题句。 “‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’”中的“begins with”及“…you have to start. There’s no better time to start than today.”中的start与A项(A great life is the result of starting.)中starting意义一致。A项“美好的生活是开始的结果”符合题意,故选A。
