2．根据短文内容选择正确答案。

D
      If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
      Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
     When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
    She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
     The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.
（1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that          .

A. being out of work is a sad thing                     B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting
C. life in a film is more exciting than real life.    D. chance never appears when we need it
（2）What troubles Allison after graduation?

A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.   
B. She had no money to start a business.
C. She was not sure what to do.      
D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.
（3）How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?

A. Uncertain.                           B. Amazed .                           C. Sorry.                           D. Satisfied.
（4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. How to deal with uncertainty.                         B. What role uncertainty plays in life.
C. Why people fear uncertainty.                          D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.
【答案】 （1）B
（2）C
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】【分析】这是一篇关于人生的议论性短文。短文以艾莉森为例描写了人生的不确定性，也正是正在不确定性才让我们的生活变得更加有趣。但是短文最后并没有提出解决办法。
（1）细节理解。根据The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.可知生活的刺激性正是因为他的不可预知性，故选B。
（2）细节理解。根据but had no idea what she wanted to do.及下文描述可知选C。
（3）细节理解。根据Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way:及本段描述可知选D。
（4）推理判断。根据you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.及上文描述可知本段对不确定性进行了描述，但是并没有提出解决办法，故选A，如何处理不确定性。
点评：阅读中，要注意作者的观点，注意根据关键语句了解作者要表达的观点。然后带着问题，再读全文，完成阅读。

    There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or a television set.

    Marconi, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn't know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had, perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happen. Travellers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea and even astronauts around the Earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.
    Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programmes are now televised in colour.
Perhaps the most modern invention is "Telstar", a "star" moving around the Earth. It makes it possible for people all over the world to be closer than ever before.

（2）Why does the passage say radio and TV have become necessary parts of our daily life?
A. Because they have included nearly everything in our life.
B. Because man would not live happily without them.
C. Because they are the only ways to spread information.
D. Because no communication means no life.
（3）What is the use of a "Telstar" according to the passage?
A. To receive and store information only.
B. To move around the Earth just like the Moon.
C. To give light onto the Earth at night.
D. To help broadcast radio or TV information to the world.

    He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat on the sea and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which was the worst form of unluck, and the boy had gone with another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever.
