Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】C

【3】F

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】試題分析：本文講述了當我們遇見不順利的事時，要記住的四件事，鼓勵我們不要灰心喪氣。

【1】G 根據(jù)本段標題No one promised life would be perfect.可知，沒有人會承諾生活是完美的。故G項“如果你追求完美，那么你就會不滿足現(xiàn)狀，因為沒有事情是完美的”與本段標題吻合。故G項正確。

【2】C 根據(jù)本段第一句Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.（長得慢的樹才能結(jié)出最好的果實）。作者告訴我們遇見不好的事情時要有耐心。選項中只有C項“Success doesn’t happen overnight.(成功不會在一夜之間發(fā)生)”與本段中心句一致。

【3】F 根據(jù)本段第一句Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.(長得慢的樹才能結(jié)出最好的果實)可知，作者告訴我們遇見不好的事情時要有耐心。所以選擇F項“Remember: Rome was not built in a day.”與第一句形成呼應，都告訴我們做事要有耐心。故F項符合本段中心思想。

【4】A 根據(jù)本段的標題Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones.（不經(jīng)歷風雨，怎么見彩虹？）可知，有時候困難會轉(zhuǎn)換成好的事情。所以A項“Don’t get sad if you lose.（如果你失敗也不要難過）”與本段中心思想一致。

【5】B 根據(jù)本段標題和第一句It’s OK to cry sometimes. Do not apologize for crying.（有時候哭也沒關系。我們不要為哭道歉。）也就是說哭不是懦弱的標志。有時候人是需要發(fā)泄壓抑的情緒的。故B正確。
