4.Theauthor’spurposeofwritingthepassageismostlikelyto________.

【参考答案】
1.D.推理判断题。
本文一开始介绍了作者的教授提出的一个观点,但是当时作者不以为然,但是在今后自己的实际上生活中真正遇到了失败或挑战时,自己才认识到了教授的观点。
下文主要通过自己的亲身经历阐述了自己的观点,即通过举例来说明。
故正确答案为D想。
2.A.推理判断题。
根据第四段中提到的“Iwasnoexception.Ithoughtofrunningaway.”以及第五段中提到的“IfeltImadeawrongdecisiontomovethere.”可知,在伊拉克和科威特发生战争期间,因为作者的生意遭到重创,所以他曾一度很是没有了自信。
所以该题答案应为A项。
3.C.词义猜测题。
该下划线短语所在的句子含义是:
当事情变得困难,所付出的努力带来的是失望时,那么降低自己的期望值或者削弱自己当初的目标或抱负变成诱人的做法。
所以,该下划线短语的意思是“削弱”,与C项含义接近。
4.B.主旨大意题。
根据全文内容,尤其是文章最后一段可知,作者写这篇文章的意图是在劝说人们面对挑战或失败时要大胆去应对,要有积极的心态。
所以答案应为B项。
第二节:
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
