2010 天津卷 英语

A

B．作者通过a woodenstand（木架）with asmall notepad（记事本）and ahole for a pencil描写了一位母亲对事业的执着和热爱，由此可以推断B项正确．其它选项在文中 并没提到． 【点评】针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的阅读理解时，要特别注意以下几点： 1、重点理解全文的首句．如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要 素．如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句﹣全文的主题． 2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告 等． 3、调动自己的背景知识和情感． 20． （12.5分）To err is human．To blame the other guy is even more human． Common sense is not all that common． Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse？ These three popular misquotes（戏谑的引语）are meant to be jokes，and yet they tell us a lot about human nature．To err，or to make mistakes，is indeed a part of being human，but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem．Perhaps it is the natural thing to do．The original quote about human nature went like this："To err is human， to forgive，divine（神圣的） ．"This saying mirrors an deal people should be forgiving of others'mistakes．Instead，we tend to do the opposite﹣find someone else to pass the blame on to．However，taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity．Common sense is what we call clear thought．Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well，and it also means staying with the plan．Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm，but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations，because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything．People say that in a large company，"the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing．" And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art？One of the common problems with making excuses is that people，especially young people．get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time．There is a corollary（直接推论）to that：if good excuse is"good"even if it isn't honest，then where is the place of the truth？
