题文
阅读理解。 The average man who uses a telephone couldn't explain how a telephone works. He takes for granted thetelephone, the railway train, the airplane, as our grandfathers took for granted the miracles of the gospels (福
音书里的奇迹). He neither questions nor understands them. It is as though each of us investigated and made
his own only a tiny circle of facts. Knowledge outside the day's work is regarded by most men as a gewgaw
(花哨无用的东西). Still we are usually in reaction against our ignorance. We excite ourselves sometimes and
think deeply. We enjoy thinking about anything at all-about life after death or about such questions as is said
to have puzzled Aristotle. "Why sneezing from noon to midnight was good,but from night to noon unlucky".
One of the greatest joys known to man is to take such a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge. The
great pleasure of ignorance is after all, the pleasure of asking questions. The man who has lost this pleasure
or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma (教义), which is the pleasure of answering,is already beginning to
stiffen (僵化). One envies so inquisitive (好盘根究底) a man as Jewell, who sat down to the study of
physiology in his sixties. Most of us have lost the sense of ignorance long before that age. We even become
proud of our squirrel' store-house of knowledge and regard increasing age itself as a school of omniscience
(无所不知). We forget that Socrates was famous for wisdom not because he was Mr. know-all but because
he realized at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing. 1. The underlined part "made his own" probably means "_____".A. produced something by himself
B. made believe by himself
C. made his own way
D. found out the truth by himself 2. From the passage we may infer that _____. A. the writer values those who often ask "why"
B. the writer regards these who like asking "why" are very silly
C. the writer is against the idea that one is never too old to learn
D. the writer is for the idea that one should know everything 3. From the passage we can see the most joyful the writer think is _____.A. to master useful knowledge
B. to know a great deal just as Socrates
C. to seek the truth
D. to learn at one's sixties 4. The best title of the passage is _____. A. Socrates is Ignorant to Learn

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：
一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，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。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
