Question

11．The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled，pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness．If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness．But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain．
As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement，religious commitment，self improvement．
Ask a bachelor （單身漢）why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun，adventure，excitement．Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features．
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild．
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations．It liberates time：now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness．It liberates money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們敘述了他對(duì)于幸福的理解，樂趣和快樂并不等于幸福，事實(shí)上，更多的往往比沒有東西，導(dǎo)致幸福涉及一些痛苦，是痛苦帶我們通往幸福．告訴我們要學(xué)會(huì)享受痛苦，不要去逃避害怕痛苦．

解答 71．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段"If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment"如果他誠實(shí)的話，他會(huì)告訴你他害怕做出承諾，可知真正的原因是他不愿意承擔(dān)家庭責(zé)任，故選C．
72．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第四段"But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild"是那些決定不生孩子永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)知道快樂的看著一個(gè)孩子成長(zhǎng)含飴弄孫，可推測(cè)養(yǎng)孩子是快樂的，是有回報(bào)的，故選D．
73．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第五段"And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all"它把我們從嫉妒中解放出來：我們現(xiàn)在知道那些總有很多快樂的人也許根本就不幸福，可知嫉妒有時(shí)來源于對(duì)幸福的錯(cuò)誤理解，故選B．
74．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第五段"Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations"理解并接受真正的幸福與樂趣無關(guān)是最解放的實(shí)現(xiàn)，故選B．
75．C．主旨大意題．通過通讀全文我們可以知道整篇文章都在告訴我們真正的幸福來源于痛苦，幸福與樂趣無關(guān)，反而，是痛苦，通往了幸福，故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
