Question

13．The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled，pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness．If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness．But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain．
As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．They fear the pain inevitably（不可避免的）brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement，religious commitment （義務(wù)），self-improvement．
Ask a bachelor（單身漢）why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun，adventure，excitement．Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features．
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild．
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations．It liberates（解放） time：now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness．It liberates money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．

A．he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
B．he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，屬于議論文，闡述了幸福的獲得這一嚴(yán)肅話題，試圖澄清人們在幸福問題上的一些誤解．

解答 66．C 細節(jié)理解題．本題要求學(xué)生判斷單身漢拒絕結(jié)婚的主要原因．依據(jù)文章第3段第1行"Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment"（…害怕作出對義務(wù)的承諾，即不愿承擔(dān)義務(wù)）．C項與之等同，故C正確．
67．A 細節(jié)理解題．依據(jù)文章第4段第1句"帶有嬰兒的父母要是能睡上一整晚覺或度一個三天的假日，那真是太幸運了．在我認識的人中，不會有人用fun（好玩）來描述他們撫養(yǎng)孩子的感受"，似乎會認為作者的意圖是B項（出力不討好，毫無回報的事）或D項（不可避免的痛苦來源）．實際上，作者真實想法應(yīng)在第2句中體現(xiàn)：但是決定不生孩子的夫妻永遠也體會不到看著孩子成長以及和孫子玩耍的那種樂趣、那種欣喜．這種樂趣、欣喜實際就是一種回報．故A正確．
68．B 細節(jié)理解題．依據(jù)文章最后一句"And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．"它把我們從嫉妒中解放出來：我們現(xiàn)在知道那些總是有那么多樂趣的人也許根本就不幸福，故B正確．
69．B 細節(jié)理解題．依據(jù)文章第1段第1句"The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled，pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness"（人們堅持充滿趣味、毫無痛苦的生活就等于幸福這一信條實際上減少了他們獲得真正幸福的可能性）．再依據(jù)文章最后一句"…all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all"（…生活中總是有如此多的fun的人實際上也許一點都不幸福）．可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必須把fun和happiness區(qū)分開來．因為兩者絕不等同．故選項D正確．C項應(yīng)該是回答"怎樣才能獲得真正的幸福"這一問題，且作者并沒在文中明確提到獲得快樂就必須在任何情況下都忍受痛苦．故B正確．
70．C．推理判斷題．作者的意圖出現(xiàn)在第1段最后一句："But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain"（…事實上，導(dǎo)致你幸福的事情多半伴隨著痛苦），故C正確．

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，推理判斷題．做題時學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測
