题文
阅读理解。 George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, Listeningfor Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):
"We've become so accustomed to noise, there's about almost a deep prejudice against the idea that
silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But it's never been
more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting
peace and satisfaction."
"We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little.
During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds becomes a kind of art-the spoons making a light
ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono (和服) brushing against the floor."
"Dear people are very attentive (专注的) in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are waling
together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying
steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf
teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts (一阵阵) of
noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us-of little soft and the sound of footsteps,
of bird songs and ice cracking (开裂声). It's astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really
listen." 1. What does the phrase "to put a sock in it" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. to be quiet
B. to be colorful
C. to be full of love
D. to be attentive to someone 2. What does Prochnik say about us? A. We are used to quietness
B. We have to put up with noise
C. We do not think silence to be beneficial
D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available 3. Which of the following is true according to Proehnik?
A. We need more sounds in our lives
B. There is nothing to be learned from the deaf
C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is
D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony

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。
