Question

Love plays a main role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．

In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care．They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we don’t always care about it．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings．

Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind．No mind is happy without peace．Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure．But all of these things will pass away．

【解析】

本文是一篇人生哲理的短文。生活就像是一個包裹，里面有幸福和悲傷，有失敗和成功，有希望和絕望。我們應(yīng)該如何正確看待人生的這些東西，如何對待今天和明天，作者提出了一些建議。

【1】推理判斷題。本文講述的是人生哲理，教育人們?nèi)松�中有幸福和悲傷，有失敗和成功，有希望和絕望。教育人們要正視人生中的順境和逆境。故選D。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中第一段中的句子“This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair．”，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)happiness 和sadness是一對反義詞，failure和 success是一對反義詞，那么劃線部分的despair和hope也是一對反義詞，hope的意思是：希望。可猜測劃線部分單詞的意思是：絕望。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。最后一句話的意思是：我們今天能做的選擇是努力工作，以便于我們可以享受一個更好的明天。即通過今天的努力，贏得更好的未來。故選B。

【4】主旨大意題。本文講述的是人生就像包含著幸福與悲傷、失敗與成功、希望與絕望的包裹，告訴人們通過今天的努力，贏得更好的未來。即擁有一個美好的夢想，并為之而努力，夢想終將實現(xiàn)。選項C符合原文，故選C。

做閱讀題中的詞義猜測時，有時根據(jù)反義詞來猜測的，雖然你不認(rèn)識新單詞，但句中給出了你熟悉的單詞，通過漢語詞義相反來猜測陌生單詞的意思。比如本題中第2小題，讓我們猜測despair的意思，我們猜測出despair的意思，主要是發(fā)現(xiàn)了前面的兩對反義詞即happiness 和sadness以及failure和 success，進(jìn)而猜測despair和hope也是一對反義詞，從而得知despair的意思。
