　　故事類[·江西卷] A

　　Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

　　“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

　　“He won’t find out，” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

　　Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

　　It was a strange-looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental model，” his father had explained, “so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

　　“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly, “It's a computer game. I knew it! Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：

　　“ENTER NAMES

　　VOYAGER 1：...

　　VOYAGER 2：... ”

　　Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

　　“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自動回收程序已啟動)．”

　　The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

　　“I think we'd better shut it off, Mark，” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.

　　But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On

　　the screen, the letters changed.

　　“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION(目的地)：MARS. RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”

　　You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (內化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.

　　Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are

　　individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail.

　　Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each

　　sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can

　　bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.

　　Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too.

　　Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only

　　themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.

　　In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.

　　In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

　　51. What does the word “They” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

　　A. People and things around you.

　　B. Opportunities and problems.

　　C. Creators and their choices.

　　D. Victims and their sufferings.

　　52. According to Paragraph 2, creators ________.

　　A. seem willing to experience failures in life

　　B. possess the ability to predict future life

　　C. handle ups and downs of life wisely

　　D. have potential to create something new

　　53. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

　　A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.

　　B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.

　　C. Victims can influence more people than creators.

　　D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.

　　54. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ________.

　　A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims

　　B. people need family support to deal with challenges in life

　　C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains

　　D. one's experiences determine his attitude toward life

　　55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

　　A. To define victims and creators.

　　B. To evaluate victims against creators.

　　C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.

　　D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.

　　【要點綜述】 “a victim”和 “a creator”擁有不同的生活方式。“a victim”生活在一個寒冷、痛苦的世界中；而“a creator”生活在一個積極向上、能夠掌握自己生活命運的世界中。作者建議應從“a victim”轉變成 “a creator”。

　　51. A　詞義猜測題。根據第一段后半部分可知答案。

　　52. C　推理判斷題。由第二段可知答案。

　　53. B　推理判斷題。根據第三段最后一句 “Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.”可知答案。

　　54. A　推理判斷題。根據此段中的 “…may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime”可知答案。

　　55. D　主旨大意題。根據最后一段可知答案。

　　1. 答案：B

　　解析：fall over意為“摔倒在……，被絆倒”，從前面她的腳太大可知應選B項。jump over意為“跳躍”；turn over意為“翻轉”；push一般不與 over搭配。

　　2. 答案：C

　　解析：根據句意判斷應選C項表示“在別人，通常是一個‘帥小伙’的注視下，她往往因為不自在而摔倒”。watch意為“注視，留意”，符合題意。根據常識可排除“大笑(laugh)”，人們看到長相丑的人不可能“大笑”，而是好奇地“注視”。

　　3. 答案：D

　　解析：人們嘲笑的是她的長相，所以選D項。the way后跟的是定語從句，省略了引導詞in which/that。從前文她長相難看這一點可排除其他選項。

　　4. 答案：C

　　解析：人們嘲笑她，不僅因為她長相“不一樣(different)”，而且因為她想法“不一樣”。special意為“獨特的”，不一定指缺點；從后文可知，她并不“愚蠢(silly)”，因此不選A項；D項太片面。

　　5. 答案：B

　　解析：when引導表語從句說明事情發生的時間。此處不表示事情發生的原因、方式或地點，根據下文的提示可排除其他選項。

　　6. 答案：A

　　解析：日記只能是“提醒(remind)”她生活中還有好的一方面。remind sb.that...意為“提醒某人某事”。B、C兩項的主語的一般是人；help后面不跟從句。

　　7. 答案：D

　　解析：作者此處強調的是日記的作用，even though引導讓步狀語從句，意為“即使”，符合此處的邏輯關系。本題干擾性最大的是but，如果用even though作者想強調的是前者，生活中還有美好的東西；如果用but，作者強調的是后者“一切都不令人愉快”。

　　8. 答案：A

　　解析：因為是寫日記，所以每天都“添加(add)”一些新的東西。從“寫日記”這個角度可排除其他選項。

　　9. 答案：C

　　解析：她想讓同學們了解她日記的內容，因此此處指“分享(share)”。日記是讓別人看，而不是跟別人“討論(discuss)”。

　　10. 答案：D

　　解析：從后面她又受到同學的嘲笑看，此處應是轉折關系，表示“沒有怎么樣，而是……”。其他選項不合邏輯。

　　11. 答案：B

　　解析：從前面她感到羞愧以及連詞and可知，她“停止”了寫作。
