Learningancienttraditionscanbeuseful.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过在生活中的自身经历来说明好消息能使人高兴，坏消息使人气氛，而每个人偏偏时不时地给出坏消息，所以传递坏消息的方式很重要。（1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的”Aswewalkedlight-heartedlyoutofthedoor,picnicbasketinhand,asmilingneighborlookedupattheskyandsaid,‘Oh,boy,baddayforapicnic.Theweathermansaysit'sgoingtorain.’Iwantedtostrikehimonthefacewiththepeanutbutterandsandwiches.Notforhisstupidweatherreport,forhissmile.“当我们提着野餐篮子，心情愉快地走出家门时，一位面带微笑的邻居抬头看着天空说:"哦，孩子，今天不适合野餐。"天气预报员说要下雨了。我想用花生酱和三明治打他的脸。不是因为他愚蠢的天气预报，而是因为他的微笑。可知作者一家正要去门，邻居却说要下雨，故作者认为他的邻居是不体贴的。故选C。（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的”It'snotthenewsthatmakessomeoneangry.It'stheunsympatheticattitudewithwhichit'sdelivered.“使人生气的不是消息。而是传递出的一种冷漠的态度。可知作者对销售代理人很生气。故选A。（3）考查主旨大意。根据第四段中的”Everyonemustgivebadnewsfromtimetotime,andbigwinnersdoitwiththeproperattitude.“每个人偏偏时不时地给出坏消息，而大赢家则以正确的态度来做这件事。以及文中多次提到人们对带给自己坏消息的人经常心生怨恨，可知本文的大意是正确地传达坏消息对沟通很重要，故选A。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。3．阅读理解

theauthorprefersDavidtobemoreoutgoing【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，David是作者的一位雇员,虽然他不善言辞,但勤恳踏实的工作态度赢得了顾客的赞美。他也让作者明白:作者的伙伴们和作者一样都不完美,但却很优秀。在跟他们一起工作的日子里,作者学会了宽恕、理解和耐心。（1）考查细节理解。根据第二中的“HerequestedthatIgiveDavidaninterviewjustforpractice.”可知,他要求作者给David进行一次面试,仅仅只是为了练习。故选B。（2）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段可知,当装满250辆新自行车的大卡车冒雨到达时,一些工人不愿在这样的天气情况下工作,因此人手短缺。这时作者正好看到David进来,于是叫他过来帮忙。结合最后一段可知,David从此开始在这里工作了。故选A。（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段可知，David在作者的店里勤勤恳恳工作了十八年,还受到了顾客的赞扬。由此可推知,作者感觉很幸运能有这样的员工。故选C。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。9．阅读理解
