【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】G

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析:自信的人最美麗,作者在文章中給出了五條讓人保持自信的建議,并對這些建議進行了詳細分析。

【1】B 根據(jù)橫線前句Consider your strengths and success.可知我們要考慮自己的優(yōu)點和缺點,也就是讓我們對自己要有清楚地了解。為了讓自己更明確,可以把這些優(yōu)點和缺點寫下來。故B項符合上下文。

【2】E 本段的中心思想是“Have goals.”要有目標,有了目標我們才有動力,如果沒有目標我,我們就會失去努力的源泉。故E項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】G 根據(jù)橫線后兩句Failure is the mother of success. When you fail, view it as a learning experience.可知作者認為我們應該把失敗當成一次學習的經(jīng)歷。也就是說要從失敗中學習到教訓。故G項符合本段中心思想。

【4】A 根據(jù)橫線前句“Study their action, their manners of speaking and how they communicate with others.”可知我們要模仿偶像,但我們不能總是模仿他們,我們也要有自己的特點。A項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】D 最后一段建議我們要多笑。因為有信心的人才會微笑。所以D項“Smiling is a friendly and open gesture.”符合本段中心思想。
