12.E

13.G

14.D

15.A【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是美好生活的含义以及获得美好生活的具体方法。作者通过本文告诉我们：想要获得美好的生活，需要我们简化生活、付出努力、掌控自己的思想、做重要的事并从现在出发。【11题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。由上句“Stopsettingyourselfupforstressandfailure.”走出忧虑和失败。可知“开始安排自己的生活，迎接成功和从容”符合题意，分析选项可知B项符合题意。【12题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据“Peopleoftenmisunderstandwhatsimplifymeans.”可知，人们通常对简化有误解。结合后文“Whenyoufocusonsimplifyingyourlife,youfreeupenergyandtimefortheworkthatyouenjoyandthepurposeforwhichyouarehere.”对简化生活的正确理解就是“你就会有时间和精力从事喜欢的工作，并为之奋斗。”可知，此处是对简化生活的错误理解，即“简化不是…”。分析选项可知E项符合题意，故选E。【13题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本空前的内容“非凡的人生就是在专注。看看周围那些令你羡慕的人的生活吧！看自己能从他们身上学到些什么？向他们请教”，根据“向你羡慕的人请教”，那么你就能找到方法来精力集中到更重要的事情上。分析选项可知G项符合题意。【14题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的中心句是“Agreatlifeistheresultofyouradjustments.”美好的生活是你调整的结果。adjustments调整即是改变，也就是D项中的“makesomechanges”且本段中的“thinkingaboutagain…inadifferentway.”及“lookingfornewways”这些词都指向“makesomechanges”，故选D项。【15题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本空是一段的主题句。“ajourneyofathousandmilesbeginswithasinglestep（千里之行始于足下）”中的“beginwith”及“youhavetostart.There’snobettertimetostartthantoday”中的start可知，这是与A项（Agreatlifeistheresultofstarting）中start是词的复现。而A项的意思为“美好的生活是开始的结果”符合题意，故选A。【点睛】七选五旨在考查学生对全文整体理解和对信息辨析的能力，做此题时首先需要先了解文章的整体结构，弄清文章大意，然后再把7个备选项浏览一下，最后再综合上下文进行推理判断。通过通读全文，了解到文章主要讲述的是美好生活的含义以及获得美好生活的具体方法。作者通过本文告诉我们：想要获得美好的生活，需要我们简化生活、付出努力、掌控自己的思想、做重要的事并从现在出发。然后再结合上下文进行选择。例如，第2题，根据“Peopleoftenmisunderstandwhatsimplifymeans.”可知，人们通常对简化有误解。结合后文“Whenyoufocusonsimplifyingyourlife,youfreeupenergyandtimefortheworkthatyouenjoyandthepurposeforwhichyouarehere.”对简化生活的正确理解可知，此处是对简化生活的错误理解。故选E其次要精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如第3小题，根据本空前的内容“非凡的人生就是在专注。看看周围那些令你羡慕的人的生活吧！看自己能从他们身上学到些什么？向他们请教”，根据“向你羡慕的人请教，可知，你就能找到方法来精力集中到更重要的事情上。分析选项可知G项符合题意。同时也要看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语。实现关键词的对接。此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。通过阅读选项，有可能根据选项中的关键词找出正确选项。如第5小题。本空是一段的主题句。“ajourneyofathousandmilesbeginswithasinglestep（千里之行始于足下）”中的“beginwith”及“youhavetostart.There’snobettertimetostartthantoday”中的start可知，这是与A项（Agreatlifeistheresultofstarting）中start是词的复现。而A项的意思为“美好的生活是开始的结果”符合题意，故选A。三、阅读理解21..阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
