Question

12．When I was a kid in Minnesota，watermelon was expensive．One of my father's friends，Bernie，was a rich businessman，who owned a large store in St．Paul．
Every summer，when the first watermelons arrived，Bernie would call．Dad and I would go to Bernie's place．We would sit on the edge of the dock（码头），feet dangling（摇晃），and got ready for a big meal．
Bernie would take his knife，cut our first watermelon，hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us．Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon，eating only the heart-the reddest，juiciest，firmest，sweetest，most seed-free part-and throw away the rest．
Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man．I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman．Years later，I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked．Bernie knew how to stop working，get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon．
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind．Some of us，no matter how much money we have，will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon．If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure，your work is probably hurting your life．
For many years，I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock．I was too busy making all the money I could．
Well，I've relearned it．I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day．That's the heart of the watermelon．I have learned again to throw the rest away．

Answer 1

分析 全文主要讲述 Bernie 是一个富有的人，但同时他也懂得和朋友一起享受生活，而不是只顾埋头工作．由此可知作者也体会到人要学会享受生活中的快乐，平衡工作与生活才是最大的财富．

解答 66：A   推断题．根据第二段第三句 We'd sit on the edge of the dock，feet dangling，and got ready for a big meal 可知，"我们"坐在码头的边缘，晃着脚，准备享受一顿大餐．由此推知，作者和他的爸爸是很悠闲的，心情放松．relaxed 意为"放松的"，符合题意．worried 意为"担心的"，hungry 意为"饥饿的"，proud 意为"自豪的"，均不符合题意．故正确答案为A．
67：B  推断题．根据第三段第二句 Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon，eating only the heart-the reddest，juiciest，firmest，sweetest，most seed-free part-and throw away the rest 可知，作者和爸爸只吃西瓜中心最红、最多汁、最甜、籽最少的部分，其他的部分就丢掉了．由此推断他们吃的是西瓜中间最好的部分．故B项符合题意．A项意为"他们用一种有礼貌的方式吃"，C项意为"他们把西瓜所有部分都吃了"，D项意为"他们俩只分享了一块西瓜"，均不符合题意．故正确答案为B．
68：C 推断题．根据第四段第一句 Bernie was my father's ideal of a rich man 和该段最后一句 Bernie knew how to stop working，get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon 可知，Bernie 是我爸爸眼中富人的理想代表，他知道如何停下工作去和朋友聚在一起，并且只吃西瓜中心最好吃的部分．由此推断 Bernie 是个有钱人，且他的生活很有质量，很健康．故C项符合题意．A项意为"仅仅只是个有钱的商人"，B项意为"一直都很努力工作"，D项意为"知道如何赚钱"，均不符合题意．故正确答案为C．
69：D 猜测词句题．根据最后一段第二句 I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day 可知，作者希望能腾出时间享受他人的成功，在生活中过得开心幸福．紧接着说，这就是"the heart of the watermelon"，由此猜测指代的是前文这句话的意思．D项意为"作者享受生活的希望"，符合题意．
A项意为"西瓜中最好的部分"，这不是指代，就是解释了划线词的意思；B项意为"作者忙碌的生活"，正是因为忙碌，所以才要享受生活，并非是划线词指代的意思；C项意为"作者想要赚钱的决定"，文中未提及．均不符合题意．故正确答案为D．
70：D 主旨大意题．全文主要讲述 Bernie 是一个富有的人，但同时他也懂得和朋友一起享受生活，而不是只顾埋头工作．由此可知作者也体会到人要学会享受生活中的快乐，平衡工作与生活才是最大的财富．故D项符合主旨．A项意为"人必须要通过努力来实现自己的目标"，文中未提及要努力实现目标；B项意为"患难见真情"，文中未提及朋友患难；C项意为"西瓜是最健康的水果"，文章借西瓜作比喻．均不符合主旨．故正确答案为D．

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
