2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解精练（3）(VI)社会文化（阅读理解）由 (xx天津,D)改编You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator.When you choose to be a victim,the world is a cold and difficult place.“They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.“They” are wrong and bad,and life is terrible as long as “they” are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems,thus internalizing (内化) your victimization.The truth is,your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives,but they dont let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses,yet they dont blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens,they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish (沉溺) in anger,guilt,and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims,too.Creators consciously choose love,inspiration,and other qualities which inspire not only themselves,but all around them.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality,all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person,on losing a job or a special relationship,may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months,years,or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief,then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance,you can choose to have a fuller,richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within,and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.1.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably

mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that .A.strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victimsB.people need family support to deal with challenges in lifeC.it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their painsD.ones experiences determine his attitude toward life5.What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?()A.To define victims and creators.B.To evaluate victims against

bad可知此处they意为:周围的人和事。2.C推理判断题。本段告诉我们:生活的创造者承认自己的弱点,但当失败的时候他们不会责备自己;暴风雨是成长历程中的重要部分。由此可知,生活的创造者能够明智地解决生活中的盛衰沉浮。3.B推理判断题。第三段告诉我们:生活的牺牲品和生活的创造者面对同样的境况时,他们会有截然不同的态度及做法,所以选B;他们是自己生活的主人。4.A推理判断题。通过讲述面对失去工作或一种特殊关系时,一些人的态度和做法,告诉我们:沉湎于生活中的不幸能使一些人成为牺牲品,所以A项正确。5.D主旨大意题。全文讲述了生活的创造者和生活的牺牲品对待生活的不同态度及做法,并告诉我们:生活的自主选择权就在我们手中,做出不同的选择就会过不同的生活。【长难句子分析】 and 他们相信:与生活中每一神圣时刻的共舞都是一份礼物,而暴风雨则是生活中很自然的一部分,它们为情感及心灵上的成长带来甘霖。believe后their dance.and that storms.是两个宾语从句;第二个宾语从句中的which can.是定语从句,修饰先行词storms。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。The number of
