B.ExploringCamus’PhilosophyC.FindingJoyinRidiculousness D.AcceptingHappinessConsciously【答案】4.B5.B6.A7.C【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了加缪的荒诞主义哲学，通过希腊神话中西西弗斯的故事，阐述了在看似无意义的生活中找到幸福的方法。【4题详析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sisyphus,awell-knownkinginGreekmythology,wassentencedtoforeversufferingintheunderworldbytheangrygods:hehadtorollahugerockupahill.Whenhereachedthetop,thestonewouldrollbackdowntothebottom,andhewouldhavetostartallover,onandon,forever.(西西弗斯，希腊神话中一位著名的国王，被愤怒的神灵判处永远在地狱受苦：他必须把一块巨大的石头滚上山。当他到达山顶时，石头会滚回山底，他必须一遍又一遍地重新开始，永远如此)”可知，西西弗斯受到的惩罚是反复把一块石头推上山。故选B项。【5题详析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“AndyetCamusconcludes,‘OnemustimagineSisyphushappy,becausethestruggleitselftowardstheheightsisenoughtofillaman’sheart.’(然而，加缪总结道：‘人们必须想象西西弗斯是幸福的，因为向高处奋斗的过程本身就足以填满一个人的心。’)”可知，加缪认为西西弗斯是幸福的，因为他能让自己一直忙于向高处推石头的过程，这一奋斗过程本身就足以填满一个人的心。故选B项。【6题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Whenthebroadsweepoflifebringsyouhorror,justconcentrateonthismoment,andenjoyit.Thepleasureandmeaningyoucanfindrightnowarereal;themeaninglessnessofthefutureisnot.(当生活的广阔带给你恐惧时，就专注于这一刻，并享受它。你现在能找到的快乐和意义是真实的；未来的无意义不是)”可知，根据加缪的哲学，要专注于这一刻，并享受现在。由此推知，当遇到交通堵塞时，应该专注于当下，并享受它，比如享受车里的音乐。故选A项。【7题详析】主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Thismayseemimpossible,butthisunexpectedinsightinCamus’philosophyoflifeandhappinesscanhelpyouchangeyourperspectiveandseeyourdailystrugglesinanewway.Insteadoffeelingdesperationatthefutilityoflife,Camustellsustoconsciouslyacceptitsridiculousnessastheonlywaytoarriveathappiness.(这似乎是不可能的，但加缪关于生活和幸福的哲学中的这一意外见解可以帮助你改变你的观点，并以一种新的方式看待你日常的挣扎。加缪告诉我们，不要对生活的无意义感到绝望，而是要有意识地接受它的荒谬，这是到达幸福的唯一途径)”可知，本文主要讲述了加缪的荒诞主义哲学，告诉我们在看似荒谬的生活中找到快乐的方法。由此可知，C项“FindingJoyinRidiculousness(在荒谬中找到快乐)”是荒诞主义哲学的核心，最适合作文章标题。故选C项。CSince2010,nearlyeverycountryhasseenanincreaseinthenumberofcancerpatients.TheWHOreportsoneinsixpeoplewilldevelopcancerintheirlifetime.Atleast10millionpeoplewilldiefromthediseaseeveryyear.Ifthecurrenttrendcontinues,newcancercaseswillriseby60percentbytheyear2040.Inlow-andmiddle-incomecountries,theywillrisebymorethan80percent.AndreIlbawi,WHO’stechnicalofficerincancercontrol,saysmorepeoplearedyingfromcancerinpoorercountries.Controllingthediseasedoesnothavetocostalot.TheWHOreport,heexplained,showsthatbyinvestingincancerservices,governmentscansave7millionlivesby2030.“Andthatisatthecostof$2.70perpersoninlow-incomecountriesand$8.15perpersoninuppermiddle-incomecountries.Thisisfeasible,”Ilbawisaid.WHOsayscancerdoesnothavetobeadeathsentence.Preventionworks.Therehavebeengreatimprovementsinresearchoncancerpreventionandtreatment.Thesemeasuresaresuccessfullykeepingmanypeoplealivewhootherwisewouldhavedied.Preventivepoliciescanworkinpowerfulwaystoreducenotonlycancernumbersanddeathrates,butalsothesocialandeconomicinequalityincancercases.Anexampleofsuchapolicyisonethatreducesworkers’contactwithcancer-causingmaterials.Otherexamplesaremeasurestocontroltobaccouse,vaccinationagainstcancer-causinginfectiousagentsandtestingforearlystagesofcancer.Initsreport,WHOdescribesaseriesofmeasuresproventohelpinpreventingnewcancercases.Forexample,itnotesthattobacco-relateddiseasesareresponsiblefor25percentofcancerdeaths.Decidingnottosmoke,itsays,cansavebillionsofdollarsandmillionsoflives.WHOaddsthatavaccineagainsthepatitisB(乙肝)canpreventlivercancer.ItnotesanothervaccineagainstHPVcannearlyfightoffcervicalcancer(宫颈癌).8.Howdoestheauthorleadinthetopic?A.Bycitingspecificdata.
