【文章概要】
本文讲述一位盲人因一次意外事故失明后如何克服困难,重新定位自己,取得人生价值的故事。第1段叙述作者因一次意外事故失明,但失明没有使他丧失对生活的信心,反而让他更懂得珍惜他所拥有的东西;第2—4段讲述他如何走出阴影,最终找到了自己的位置,并发明了滚球 (ground ball);最后一段总结他的成功经验,即在生活中不断给自己设立目标并为之而奋斗。
【答案解析】
1.[C]细节判断题。第l段最后一句指出“所失去的让我更懂得珍惜现在拥有的”,故选C。作者失明是因为他从一辆货车(box car)A摔下来,而不是因为汽车事故,故排除A;B的推断没有原文依据;文中提到他渴望重见光明。D的表述与原文有出入。
2.[B]细节判断题。the most difficult thin9是The hardest lesson的同义改写,故可定位到第3段。该段首句指出最困难的事情是“相信自己”,But所在的句子做了更具体的解释即“对自己的一种坚信,我还是 我,尽管不是完美的……坚信自己可以找到一个适合自己的位置”,故选B。A太笼统;由第2段可知他的生活并不是孤单的,他还有父母、老师等的支持,故C错 误;D文中没有提到。
3.[C]句意理解题。本题可用排除法。第3段第3句提到,“如果我不坚信自己,我会崩溃,变成一个坐在轮椅里的废人了,在门廊前度此余生”,由此可知C正确。
4.[D]细节判断题。根据baseball定位到倒数第2段。从该段最后两句可知棒球和那个男人的鼓励给作者以启示和鼓舞.从而发明了一种叫“滚球”的运动,故选D。该段提到作者以为那个男人是在嘲讽他,但后来在他的激励下有所启发,故A错误;B“给作者留下了深刻印象”在文中没有提及;C中的directly错误,男人的话只是给了作者启发。
5.[B]细节判断题。最后一段第2、3句表明我们要意识到自己的局限性,在开始时尝试那些遥不可及的东西只会徒劳无益,故B正确;由该段第1句和最后一句可知作者为自己不断设立目标并实现了大部分的目标,故A错误:最后一句的anyway but可知C错误;文中并没有指出他每次尝试一个目标是因为他自己的局限,故D属干随意捏造。
