Question

【题目】 Life is a series of good and bad things, big and small. If I remember all the best things right from my childhood, wouldn’t it be silly? Such as, one of my parents who hit me when I was young, the pre-school kid who wouldn’t share her red ink with me, the third-grader who would keep pulling my hair, or the stranger at the bus stop who wouldn’t let me get on the bus first…It’s terrible to remember all those unwanted memories. Thank God for our fading (衰退的) memories.

If we always remember everything that we’ve ever read or experienced, we would not only be walking encyclopedias (百科全书), but also be the unhappiest humans on the earth, because we would also remember the moments that someone shouted at us or hit us deeply. Imagine what would happen to us if we carry this huge load of feelings in our body bags? With the weight that we carry around, we would be pulled down into the deep hole of negative (消极的) thought and couldn’t go out. If we learn to let go of all the negative thoughts or the unwanted memories, life would be much more enjoyable.

Life is like an apple. It offers us the choice of the good part and the core (核) that we can’t eat. Have we worried about throwing away the core, even for a moment? Of course NO. Then why do we hold on to all those unpleasant memories and not to sweep them away? Don’t you want to eat the juicy and tasty part? Will you eat the hard core instead? It’s up to you children to choose for yourself. There’s no doubt that you should choose to let go of the core or enjoy the fresh of the apple of life to the fullest.

（一）细节题

细节题是用来进一步表达主题，体现中心思想的，往往针对短文某个细节来设题。做此类题时，应快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、数字等，阅读时要有针对性。

（二）猜测词义题

猜测词义题主要考查学生根据上下文正确判断灵活变化的词义能力。一般情况下，推断词义的题目中所出现的单词，大多数是学生未曾见过的生词，学生需要在该词出现的上下文中去寻找线索。通过阅读上下文，断定该词的真正含义，然后将这个释义代入文中，检查是否贴切，仔细比较直到得出该词的确切的含义。

1.通过因果关系猜词

通过因果关系猜词，首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系，然后才能猜词。有时文章借助关联词(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，asaresult，ofcourse，therefore等等)表示前因后果

2.通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词

通过同义词猜词，一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组，二是看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词，通过反义词猜词，一是看表转折关系的连词或副词，如but，while，however等；二是看与not搭配的或表示否定意义的词语

（三）正误判断题

正误判断题主要考查学生对文章的具体事实、信息的理解能力。一般是根据文章的事实或细节，给出一个句子，判断其正误。这类题比较直接，难度相对较小。做此类题时，应先看题，后带着“问题”快速阅读短文，寻找所需要的信息。
