intouchwithfriends.C．Showofftheirknowledge.D．Expresstheirtruefeelings.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的Heretheyarelearningtogetintouchwiththeirtruefeelings.可知，在这个特殊的咖啡馆里，人们被鼓励说出自己的真实感受，故选项D正确。根据第一段的内容可知，人们并未被鼓励“学习一门新课程”“与朋友保持联系”“炫耀他们的知识”，所以A、B、C三项不正确。【答案】D2．HowarecafesaffectedbyFrenchlifestylechanges?A．Theyarelessfrequentlyvisited.B．Theystayopenforlongerhours.C．Theyhavebiggernightcrowds.D．Theystarttoservefastfood.【解析】推理判断题。根据题干关键信息词Frenchlifestylechanges可以定位到第二段。由Overtheyears，ParisiancafeshavefallenvictimtochangesintheFrenchlifestyle—longerworkinghours，afast­foodboomandayoungergeneration'sdesiretospendmoretimeathome.可知，这些年来，巴黎人的咖啡馆已经沦为受害者，因为法国人的生活方式发生了改变，例如工作时间的加长、快餐的出现以及年轻人渴望在家里度过更多的时间。由此可以推断出人们来咖啡馆的次数减少了。故选项A正确。B、C两项所述恰恰是咖啡馆人气更旺的表现，与文章内容不符；D项是对afast­foodboom的误解。【答案】A3．Whatarethemecafesexpectedtodo?A．Createmorejobs.B．Supplybetterdrinks.C．Savethecafebusiness.D．Servetheneighborhood.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的Dozensofnewthemecafesappeartochangethesituation.可知新的主题咖啡馆似乎在改变目前这一局面，thesituation指的是第四句所描述的咖啡馆生意惨淡的状况，即它们要挽救咖啡馆的生意。故选项C正确。A、B两项文章未提及；D项属于断章取义。【答案】C4．WhyarepsychologycafesbecomingpopularinParis?A．Theybringpeopletruefriendship.B．Theygivepeoplespiritualsupport.C．Theyhelppeoplerealizetheirdreams.D．Theyofferaplatformforbusinesslinks.【解析】推理判断题。根据题干关键词becomingpopular可以定位到最后一段。由第一句Thecity's“psychologycafes”，whichoffergreatcomfort，areamongthemostpopularplaces.可知心理学咖啡馆受欢迎是因为它们给人们提供心灵上的慰藉，接下来第二、三、四句等内容都印证了这一观点。故选项B正确。A项强调带来真正的友谊；C项强调帮人们实现梦想；D项强调提供了商业联系的平台，均不符合文意。【答案】BB(2023·重庆一中高三检测)IleftuniversitywithagooddegreeinEnglishLiterature,butnosenseofwhatIwantedtodo.Overthenextsixyears,I_was_treading_water,_justtryingtoearnanincome.Itriedjournalism,butIdidn'tthinkIwasanygood,thenfinance,whichIhated.Finally,Igotajobasarightsassistantatafamouspublisher.Ilovedworkingwithbooks,althoughthejobthatIdidwasdull.Ihadenoughsavingstotakeayearoffwork,andIdecidedtotrytosatisfyadeep­downwishtowriteanovel.AttendingaNovelWritingMAcoursegavemethestructureIneededtowritemyfirst55,000words.Ittakesconfidencetomakeanewstart—there'sadarkperiodin­betweenwhereyou'reneitheronethingnortheother.You'reoutfordinnerandpeopleaskwhatyoudo,andyou'retooashamedtosay,“Well,I'mwritinganovel,butI'mnotquitesureifI'mgoingtogetthere.”Myconfidencedived.Believingmynovelcouldnotbepublished,Iputitaside.ThenImetanagent(代理商)whosaidIshouldsendmynovelouttoagents.So,Ididand,tomysurprise,gotsomewonderfulfeedback.IfeltalittlehopethatImightactuallybecomeapublishedwriterand,aftersigningwithanagent,Ifinishedthesecondhalfofthenovel.Thenextproblemwasfindingapublisher.Aftertwo­and­a­halfyearsofnoincome,justwaitingandwondering,apublisherofferedmeabookdeal—thatpublisherturnedouttobetheoneIonceworkedfor.Itfeelslikeanunbelievablestrokeofluck—offate,really.Whenyousetouttodosomethingdifferent,there'snoendinsight,sotofindmyselfinapositionwhereInowhavemyownnameonacontractofthepublisher—tobeapublishedwriter—isunbelievablyrewarding.【语篇解读】本文介绍了我为自己的梦想——写作而努力的过程，以此来告诉我们只要坚持，就一定能成功。5．WhatdoestheunderlinedpartinParagraph1mean?A．Iwaswaitingforgoodfortune.B．Iwastryingtofindanadmirablejob.C．Iwasbeingaimlessaboutasuitablejob.D．Iwasdoingseveraljobsformorepayatatime.【解析】推理判断题。根据本句Overthenextsixyears,Iwastreadingwater,justtryingtoearnanincome.Itriedjournalism,butIdidn'tthinkIwasanygood,thenfinance，说明“我”一直都在无目的地流浪，不知道该具体做什么样的工作。故C项正确。【答案】C6．Theauthordecidedtowriteanovel________.A．tofinishthewritingcourseB．torealizeherowndreamC．tosatisfyreaders'wishD．toearnmoremoney【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段Ihadenoughsavingstotakeayearoffwork,andIdecidedtotrytosatisfyadeep­downwishtowriteanovel.说明写作是她一直以来的梦想，故B项正确。【答案】B7．Howdidthewriterfeelhalfwaywiththenovel?A．Disturbed.

D．Uncertain.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后两句Myconfidencedived.Believingmynovelcouldnotbepublished,Iputitaside.说明她对自己的作品不确定。故D项正确。【答案】D8．Whatdoestheauthormainlywanttotellreadersinthelastparagraph?A．Itpaystosticktoone'sgoal.B．Hardworkcanleadtosuccess.C．Shefeelslikebeingunexpectedlylucky.D．Thereisnoendinsightwhenstartingtodosomething.【解析】推理判断题。根据本段Whenyousetouttodosomethingdifferent,there'snoendinsight,sotofindmyselfinapo
