HowIFollowedMyMonthlyGoal.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者公司電腦每個月都要換一次密碼，這讓作者很生氣，特別是作者剛剛離婚，心情沮喪，但是前老板的話讓作者意識到可以用設(shè)置密碼提醒自己去達成一些目標(biāo)，這樣做效果真地很好。（1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“Whatdidn'tmakeitanybetterwasthatIwasdeeplydepressedaftermyrecentdivorce.”更糟糕的是，在我最近離婚后，我感到非常沮喪。畫線的不可能是沮喪，Iwasdeeplydepressed這里提到的是沮喪。根據(jù)第四段中的“Myangerdidn'tmeananythingtotheemptyinputfieldwithapulsatingcursor”這里指的是生氣。故選D。（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“Mypasswordbecametheindicator.MypasswordremindedmethatIshouldn'tletmyselfbeavictimofmyrecentbreakupandthatIwasstrongenoughtodosomethingaboutit.”我的密碼成了指示符。我的密碼提醒我，我不應(yīng)該讓自己成為最近分手的受害者，我足夠堅強，可以為此做些什么。用這個密碼因為他希望它能提醒他要堅強。故選C。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段“Andtheoneforlastmonth:Save4@ringYep.Lifeisgonnachangeagainsoon.”生活很快又要改變了。根據(jù)選項A.他每周都會給他媽媽打電話；選項B他很快就會向他的女朋友求婚。選項C他的密碼能幫他省錢。這件事不可能發(fā)生的；選項D他會被提醒保存密碼。根據(jù)推理可知只有選項B是生活有了改變。故選B。（4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第六段“Mypasswordbecametheindicator.MypasswordremindedmethatIshouldn'tletmyselfbeavictimofmyrecentbreakupandthatIwasstrongenoughtodosomethingaboutit.”及第十六段“Hereisasimplifiedextractofwhatsomeofmypasswordshavebeeninthepasttwoyears,soyougetanideaofhowmylifehaschanged,thankstothismethod.”通讀全文可知,文章主要講述的是作者借鑒了前任老板的忠告,利用新設(shè)置的一個密碼幫助自己走出了離婚的陰霾,故A項作文章標(biāo)題最佳。故選A。【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解Openwaterswimming

根據(jù)第一段中的“ButI,alongwith10,000others,wasabouttocompletethechallenge.”可知，我馬上和其他10000名游泳者完成這項挑戰(zhàn)，故可知，他們很堅定要完成這項運動，故選D。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Thereseemedtobeamixofopen-waterenthusiastsalongsidecompletebeginners—whichispreciselytheaimoftheswims,togetasmanypeopleaspossiblecompletingtheirownchallenge.Theoldestwomancompetingwas77,takingpartinthetwo-milerace,alongsideamanwholastyearhadswumineveryone-milerace.”可知，參賽者包括天然水域游泳的愛好者，也包括初學(xué)者，也有很多人完成自己的挑戰(zhàn)，這里面就有77歲參加2英里游泳的老人，也有去年參加一英里的男子，故可知，該比賽參與者范圍很廣，故選C。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Irecalledoverhearingpeopletalkingabouthowtheykeptswimmingthroughthepain,soItried.Butitdidn'twork.Ibegantofeeltheentirelegtightandpainful.”可知，我想起了那些人提及的克服水中抽筋的技巧，但是沒有作用，我感覺整條腿開始緊張?zhí)弁?，故可知，這次比賽比她想象的要艱難，故選B。（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I'mhooked,andwanttogiveitanothergo.I'vealreadysignedupformynextopen-waterswim.”可知，我被吸引住了，想要再嘗試一次，準(zhǔn)備好為下一次游泳比賽報名，故可知，作者為完成比賽而感到興奮，也喜歡上了這項運動，故選C。【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解
