human nature to focus on getting back to normal，to “bounce back” as quickly as possible to a place where things are calm，familiar and comfortable.However，actually it is unrealistic to think we can ever truly return emotionally and intelligently to where we were before the storm because every experience changes us in some way.For example，when we experience a major health scare，possibly involving some hospital time，we can never go back to being the person we were before the event even if we fully recover because we have experienced firsthand the fragility(脆弱) of life，not to mention coming face to face with death.So，now that we can never return，what should we do?Consider this.how is it that two people can be faced with the same hardship and while one becomes hopeless and feels angry and upset，the other is able to overcome their circumstances and grows stronger than ever as a result of the experience?At one extreme，we may choose to accept the role of unlucky victim，or become trapped in the “Why is it always me！” negative and frustrating(令人沮丧的) situations.Either way is the result of a fixed mindset(思维模式) that is resistant to growth and change.If this is your approach to life，you will be far less likely to be active in effectively managing change and recovering from bad situations.But there is another choice.If you are honest enough，you may consider what was once “normal” for you was just the main cause of your storm.You can choose to hug change and uncertainty and learn to grow forward through all of your experiences.Of course，this means doing the work to develop the skills and habits that will enable you to handle lifes occasional storms.In conclusion，it is up to each of us to choose the meaning we apply to our situations at all times.Different choices will lead to different lives.Of course you can grow forward if you are determined to choose to live a positive life regardless of whatever hardships you are facing.语篇解读在面对生活中的“暴风雨”的时候，人们总是希望回到原来的正常生活轨迹，但是这几乎是不可能的。我们该如何选择，是随波逐流还是积极面对？4What does the author try to convey with the example in the second paragraph?AWe will understand life much better after an escape from death.BIt usually takes a long time to recover from a health problem.CIts unlikely to return to where we were after certain events.DWe can recover from an emotional problem much more easily.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“.it is unrealistic to think we can ever truly return emotionally and intelligently to where we were before.”可知，我们不可能再回到从前，下面的例子是为了支持这个观点。故选C项。5When faced with hardships，some people choose to be a victim because of .Atheir terrible experiencesBtheir negative thoughtsCtheir poor healthDtheir bad luck答案B解析细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，当面对困难时，一些人把自己看成受害者是由他们消极的思想导致的。故选B项。6What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo advise us to manage bad emotions.BTo persuade us to get back to normal.CTo offer us useful skills to work with.DTo encourage us to overcome hardships.答案D解析写作意图题。作者在文章最后一段最后一句点明观点：不管你遇到什么困难，如果你决心积极面对，就会成长前进。故选D项。7If youre determined to grow forward you have to .Aexperience lifes fragilityBwelcome uncertainty and changeCdevelop new skills and habitsDovercome the fear of death答案B解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第三句“You can choose to hug change and uncertainty and learn to grow forward through all of your experiences.”可知，你可以选择拥抱变化和不确定性，并且从你所有的经历中学会成长前进。故选B项。C(2017广东广州一模)Dujiangyan is the oldest manmade water system in the world，and a wonder in the development of Chinese science.Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China，this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometers of farmland，take away floodwater and provide water for many cities in the province.In ancient times，the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River.To help the victims of the flooding，Li Bing，the regions governor，decided to find a solution.He studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam，but this would have ruined the Minjiang River.So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally.Better still，the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain，making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention of gunpowder and explosives.Li Bing found another solution.He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed.After eight years of work，the 20meterwide canal was carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished，no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently.Today，Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature.Unlike modern dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall，Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally，enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.语篇解读本文介绍了2
