If practicing an attitude of gratitude (感激) during the s Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

If practicing an attitude of gratitude (感激) during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.
If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It may be only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:
You’re in debt ... but you’re not homeless.
You lost your job ... but you didn’t lose your health.
You broke your leg … but you didn’t break your neck.
Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease ... but your father doesn’t.
No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything — but you can always be thankful for something.

试题分析：这是一篇议论文，文章主要讲述了一个道理：不管我们现在的状况有多糟糕，都要抱着积极乐观的心态，常怀感恩之心，生活才会更加的美好，并且还具体举例说明，鼓励陷入困境中的人们。
【小题1】细节理解题。从文章第二段末尾Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example…得出，下面总共列举了四件事情，所以选择C选项。
【小题2】细节理解题。A. necessary“必要的” B. normal“正常的”C great“好的、棒的”D. helpful“有帮助的”，从文章第二段You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time,…. Very normal, very human.可以得出，选B。 A、C、D三个选项不符合题意。
【小题3】推理判断题。主要考查文章主旨，需要我们从全文来把握，文章一开头就写了gratitutd（感激），中间通过举些例子说明我们要常怀感恩之心，最后一段是对gratitute的总结。A、B、D选项只是提及，不是文章主线；所以选择C选项，句意：劝说人们感激那些糟糕的事情没有发生，切合文章主题。
【小题4】推理判断题。考查文章结构，文章分为三大段，而议论文问最重要的是论点。所以最后一定会有结论Conclusion，第一段主要是叙述，引入话题，第二段就是举例、讨论，最后得出结论。所以选择D选项。
考点：议论说理类阅读。
