Question

　　There are many things we need to know that we don't learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare (比較) the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands (品牌) . We need to know how to make a choice (選擇) when we shop.

　　Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.

　　Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.

　　We have to realize that the choices we make can affect (影響) the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly about movies, think about this; Who else does your choice affect?

Answer 1

答案：A;C;D;B;B
解析：

(1) 考查文章概括能力。全文介紹了做出正確選擇的重要性。B項、C項中“比較價格”“細心購物”是第一段提到的在學校沒學，但在日常生活中必須得知道的內容，不能概括全文大意。D項“我們在學校學習了我們需要的所有東西”與原文There are many things we need to know that we don't learn at school.不符，故正確答案為A。 (2) 考查查找細節能力。由原文Knowing how to make such choices is a "life skill", and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.可知我們需要life skills是為了過一個有意義的、幸福的生活，故答案為C。 (3) 考查查找細節的能力。由第三段最后一句We make choices like this every day.可知D項正確。 (4) 考查文章理解能力。由第三段第五句Other choices more important.及作為例證的第七句Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy?可知B項“努力學習哪門學科”更重要，故B為正確答案。 (5) 考查細節理解能力。由文章最后一段第一句We have to realize that the choices we make can effect the rest of our lives.可知選擇可能影響我們的余生。由文章最后一段第二句Just as importantly, ...can affect other people.可知選擇也可能影響其他人。故B為正確答案。
