题文
A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair .The whip get all of the attention , but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does the important work .When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .When faced with so many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business , travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best , the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .
It doesn’t have to be that way .Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to accomplish , someone you want to become ….take immediate action .If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way .
小题1:Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A．To trick the lion. B．To show off his skill .C．To get ready for a fight.

解析
本文是一篇议论文。当人们面前摆着多种选择感到困惑时，应该怎么办？本文导入了驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前，狮子感到困惑，呆立不动。人也一样，面对多个选择时，不知该选哪一个，又怕选错了，因此进展少，或保持原样。实际上，我们不必那样。当我们遇到多种选择时，要专注一件事，开始下决心做下去。
小题1:A.考查细节理解。狮子驯兽师为什么拿着一把椅子？根据When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .可知当驯兽师拿着椅子在狮子面前时，狮子关注椅子的四条腿，故可知椅子用是用来戏耍狮子的。故选A。
小题2:A.考查推理判断。人们面对和狮子相似的椅子时是什么感觉？根据With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .当专注的东西分散时，狮子开始变得困惑，人们跟狮子相似，也会困惑，不知道该怎么做。故选A。
小题3:B.考查推理判断。在第三段中作者对提到的专家是什么态度？根据This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best ,可知专家们正忙于讨论哪一种选择是最好的，这令作者苦恼，因此推断作者对专家的态度是怀疑。故选B。
小题4:C.考查推理判断。当世界正在你面前挥舞这一把椅子是，文中建议你应该怎么做？根据Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .可知当你面前挥舞着一把椅子时，你要集中精力做一件事，那就是下决心去做。故选C。选项A等待更好的机会。根据You just need to get started .可知需要开始去做某事，而不是等待，故与原文不符。选项B打破旧习惯。根据Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .可知文中提到成功的人的习惯之一就是在感觉准备好之前就开始行动，此处并没有建议打破旧的习惯，故排除B项。选项D要求明确的指导。根据If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way .可知如果你明确自己的方向了，世界其余的人也明确要帮你还是要躲开你。此处是说自己明确方向而不是请求别人给一个明确的方向。故与原文不符，排除D项。
