20.I guess I always knew about the little fish treat,but this past summer it was all I could see.Pipin and Nemo were flying through hoops(圈),dancing with the trainer,and we were all applauding(鼓掌)-the little kids were excited.That's when the trainer,rewarded Pipin and Nemo with a fish.Each time they successfully performed a trick,they'd get an immediate reward.
These animals weren't really dancing,of course.They were performing a series of movements that they knew would have a fish.It's such a good show because the sea lions look like they're having such fun.These talented performers who love to be in front of people seem almost human.
Somewhere in our life journey,we all have a sea lion moment.You see how you've spent years jumping through hoops,not because it's really who you are,but because you've always done it and you will get reward for your performance.But when you've done that for ten or twenty years,you start to ask yourself,"Who am I working for?What do I really believe?"Suddenly you see it:you've spent almost all your life taking direction(方向) from other people.They've told you what to believe in,what to work for,how to live your life.You don't want to end your life like George.George is speaking to his son Ted,who cannot follow in his father's steps.He wants to leave college and head off on his own way."Dad,I can't stand it any more,"the boy says."Maybe it's all right for some kids.Maybe I'll want to go back some day,but now,I want to do what I want to and become myself."George,seeming old,says,"I've never done a single thing I've wanted to in my whole life!"
The Good-Bye Gate brings us naturally to a second passage,leading from being dependent to being self.You start to find out that where there is supposed to be a self,there really isn't.

分析 ,作者由海獅的表演聯(lián)想我們的人生之路,作者認(rèn)為,我們重復(fù)很多年做的事并不是出于本心,而是客觀因素使得我們做一些事.
解答 62-65 DABD
62 D 細(xì)節(jié)題.由第一段最后一句"Each time they successfully performed a trick,they'd get an immediate reward."及第二段第二句"…that they knew would produce a fish."可知,海獅知道如果他們動作表演得好就會得到魚作為獎勵,所以在觀眾面前它們看起來很樂意表演,D項符合文意.故正確答案為D.
63 A 主旨題.由第三段內(nèi)容可知,作者認(rèn)為,從某種程度上,我們的人生之路與海獅有相似之處,我們重復(fù)很多年做的事并不是出于本心,而是由于受到了客觀因素的影響.有的人甚至一輩子都沒有做過一件因自己想做而做的事.作者一邊看海獅表演一邊思考人生的哲學(xué),A項符合文意.B項意為"想起去年同一個場景",C項意為"忍不住地叫喊跳舞",D項意為"看見他們自由自在地生活很高興",均不符合文意.故正確答案為A.
64 B 主旨題.由第三段第二句中"…not because it's really who you are,but because you've always done it and the system rewarded you for your performance."可知,作者由海獅的表演聯(lián)想我們的人生之路,作者認(rèn)為,我們重復(fù)很多年做的事并不是出于本心,而是客觀因素使得我們做一些事,B項符合文意,其他三項文中均未提到.故正確答案為B.
65 D 主旨題.由文章內(nèi)容可知,作者由海獅的表演聯(lián)想我們的人生之路,我們重復(fù)很多年做的事并不是出于本心,而是客觀因素使得我們做一些事,有的人甚至一輩子都沒有做過一件因自己想做而做的事.可見,本文旨在強調(diào)恢復(fù)本心,成為真正的自己,D項符合文意.故正確答案為D.
點評 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文,把握文章大意,對文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解,能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié),并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測判斷.
