1 Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars

李仕才

一、阅读理解。

Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of

challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally

still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves

and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because

when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.

This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to

have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually

think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us

that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real

us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that,

you begin to feel a little ＂dead＂ inside because you’re dropping ＂you＂.

So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do

we break these patterns?

Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for

a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.

While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close

to us — usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind,

that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again.

It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.

Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or

large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.

1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.

A. slow down and live a simple life

B. be careful when we choose to change

C. stick to our dreams under any circumstances

D. be content with what we already have ***

2 2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?

A. To focus on every detail.

B. To decide and take immediate action.

C. To listen to those close to us.

D. To think twice before we act.

3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?

A. Escape from your punishment.

B. Realization of your dreams.

C. Freedom from your tension.

D. Reduction of your expectations.

4. What does the author intend to tell us?

A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.

B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.

C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.

D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.

【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。生活中有许多挑战，我们面对挑战、追求梦想时可能会陷入僵局。作者提供了一些建议——不要杞人忧天，放下包袱，实现梦想很容易。

1.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句＂If you drop that，you begin to feel

a little ‘dead’ inside because you’re dropping ‘you’. ＂可知，如果你放弃了梦想，就开始感觉自己内心＂死了＂，因为你失去了自己的追求。由此可以推理出，在任何情况下我们都应该坚持梦想。

3.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的建议＂Decide and act before overthinking.＂(在过度思虑之前做决定和行动)可知，不要杞人忧天，你要感到放松。故C正确。

4.A 【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者针对追求梦想提供了一些建议，告诉我们不要杞人忧天，放下包袱，实现梦想很容易。由此可知A正确。
