Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【解析】

本篇詩歌告訴我們，身邊的人看起來好像有“前后”之分，其實(shí)每個(gè)人都有自己的人生節(jié)奏。不要嫉妒也別嘲笑別人，每個(gè)人在跟隨自己的節(jié)奏，生命就是等待正確的行動(dòng)時(shí)機(jī)，你沒有落后，也沒有提前，只是活在屬于你的節(jié)奏中！

【1】推理判斷題。上文“Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50”根據(jù)文字表達(dá)的邏輯關(guān)系，可知下文指有的在50歲時(shí)成為首席執(zhí)行官、活到90歲，推斷空格指活到90歲；故選C。

【2】主旨大意題。本篇詩歌告訴我們，人生沒有所謂的 “前后”之分，其實(shí)每個(gè)人都有自己的人生節(jié)奏。生命就是等待正確的行動(dòng)時(shí)機(jī)，你沒有落后也提前，只是活在屬于你的節(jié)奏中，所以不要?jiǎng)e急，按著自己步伐走。故選D。

本篇是閱讀單選，考查推理判斷和綜合歸納能力。解答前要先快速閱讀全文，理解大意；再閱讀題干，正確理解題干的要求；然后回歸原文，尋找有用信息作答；題1根據(jù)詩歌文體的特征，上下文表達(dá)同類的內(nèi)容，就可以推斷空格的信息；題2要理解整首詩的含義，揣摩作者的寫作意圖。
