吉林长岭县2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解训练阅读理解推理判断题。（2015年湖北襄阳四中、龙泉中学、荆州中学联考）are you an optimist? do you look at your glass and see it as half full? do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? if you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. you probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. you may be successful at work and in love.but you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. you may believe that when on door closes another one opens(for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). wrong. when one door closes, another door slams(砰然关上)in your face. thats bitter reality.now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists(悲观者)have suspected all along. its called the positive power of defensive pessimism. its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. defensive pessimists prepare for the tings by setting low outcomes for themselves. they carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. and this gives them a sense of control. lawrence sanno, a psychology professor, says, “whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realistic. they use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”so far，so good. this is not rocket science. defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. it makes sense to have a back-up plan. there are many sayings in english urging caution. for example, “dont put all your eggs in one basket.”and “dont count your chickens until they hatch.” to have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. but listen to what woody alien, the american comedian says ,”confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”there are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. you are a realist but lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.1. whats the passage mainly about?a. a book that has recently been published.b. how to become successful in lifec. the dangers of being too optimistic.d. the benefits of defensive pessimism.2. the underlined sentence “ this is not rocket science”(para.4)means .a. its not a dangerous thing to do b. it is quite simple to understandc. the cost is not so highd. there is no real proof3. which of the following english expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?a. dont put all your eggs in one basket.b. the glass is half full not half empty.c. whatever will be, will be.d. every cloud has a silver lining.4. the writer would probably describe himself as .a. an optimist b. a defeatistc. a realist d. a scientist语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要说明的是防御非观主义的积极力量。防御性悲观主义者自己准备设定低的结果，他们他细考虑处理这些问题的方法，这给了他们一个很好的控制感。1. d 主旨大意题。文章在第一时间提出了人应该乐观一点会更好，接着主要计论了要做一个有意识的悲观者，因为这样的悲观者才会对以后的事情做好充分的准备，会有详细的计划和安排。那样才能有更好的结果，故d项正确。2. b 推理判断题。 谚语this is not rocket science中的rocket science 指困难的事情，指那些很难以理角的事物。本句话的意思是指“这很好理解，不是那么难 理解的事物”。故选b项正确。3. a 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第五、六句可知，该谚语是指那些表示谨慎的谚语，故选a项符合那些defensive pessimists 的特点。故a项正确。c 推理判断题。根据第二段的最后三句“当上帝关上一扇门的时候，他会为你打开另外一扇门”。但是实际上并不总是如此，说明他对待一切是很现实的。另由文章后几段的内容可知c 项正确。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考训练】a worlds of funlocation: worlds of fun is located off highway 435 in kansas city, missouri. history: worlds of fun was opened on may 26, 1973, at a cost

pills,no-fat diet,vegetable diet. . . we are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. we have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. we are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上).diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. on one level,we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight,but in controlling the consumption of fatty,high-calorie,unhealthy foods. diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. all we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.on another level,diet products have greater psychological effects. every time we have a zero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. diet products make people believe thatgain comes without pain,and that life can be without resistance and struggle.the danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us,but also in the physical harm that they cause. diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). diet foods and diet
