[素能提升练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
There is a dangerous view in today’s society, and it is a restriction on happiness, success and growth. The view states that human beings are inner fragile(脆弱的) and that the only way to be happy and successful in life is to protect oneself by avoiding misfortune.
Not only are those statements false, but the actions we take believing them to be “protective” also usually limit happiness and even stop personal and professional growth. Take sports as an example. Seldom do those who play the game of life not to lose ever really win.
Rather than fear and try to avoid all misfortune, perhaps we should accept the misfortune and the occasional crises in life and prepare for them. As a muscle grows stronger with stress, so can people, teams, organisations, even communities. Crisis reveals true strength.
Sports psychologists Fletcher and Sarkar have studied Olympic gold medal winners. They conclude, “Indeed, most of the participants argued that if they had not experienced certain types of stressors at specific times, including highly demanding misfortunes, they would not have won their gold medals.”
Psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Callhoun created the term “posttraumatic growth”. They describe it as the experience of positive change that occurs as a result of highly challenging life crises. It is shown in a variety of ways, including an increased appreciation for life in general, more meaningful interpersonal relationships, an increased sense of personal strength, changed priorities, and a richer existential and spiritual life.
The remarkable success stories that can arise after moments of great challenge and failure are countless. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times trying to create a light bulb filament(灯丝) that would light and burn in a consistent manner, but finally created the world’s first practical light bulb. Harland Sanders developed the brand Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) in his 60s while recovering from a failed career as a lawyer. There are thousands of other lesser-known people, whose lives are characterised by key moments of great recovery from difficulty. Let us understand that growth arises from challenge and even failure. The myth of fragility and overprotection keeps us all from realising our full potential.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了个人的成长源于挑战甚至失败,错误地认为自己很脆弱、需要被过度保护,这会使我们无法充分发挥自己的潜力。
1.What does the “dangerous view” say about people?
A.People are born shy.
B.People are afraid of misfortune.
C.People want wealth.
D.People are often in need of help.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The view states that human beings are inner fragile(脆弱的) and that the only way to be happy and successful in life is to protect oneself by avoiding misfortune.”可知,这种观点认为人的内心是脆弱的,因此需要通过避免不幸来保护自己,即“危险的观点”认为人们害怕不幸。故选B项。
2.What is the author’s opinion about misfortune?
A.It’s a must in life and the more, the better.
B.It mostly comes from our fragile heart.
C.It’s often met by world-famous sports stars.
D.It should be treated with the right attitude.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Rather than fear and try to avoid all misfortune, perhaps we should accept the misfortune and the occasional crises in life and prepare for them.”可知,作者认为应该以正确的态度对待生活的不幸。故选D项。
3.What does the two psychologists’ term imply?
A.Life crises can totally change one’s life.
B.People need always lead a trouble-free life.
C.Positive changes will occur after crises.
D.Try not to express our opinions in public.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,两位心理学家将“创作后成长”描述为经历极具挑战性的生活危机后产生的积极变化,包括对生活的欣赏、更有意义的人际关系、个人力量感的增强、优先事项的改变以及更丰富的精神生活等。由此可知,“posttraumatic growth”这个术语暗示着危机以后会有积极的变化。故选C项。
4.How does the last paragraph develop?
A.By listing figures.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By giving examples.
D.By drawing conclusions.
答案:C
解析:写作手法题。最后一段以托马斯·爱迪生和哈兰·桑德斯为例,证明了很多人在经历挑战和失败后获得显著成功这一观点。因此,最后一段是通过举例来展开论述的。故选C项。
