Question

If you have ever been discouraged(受挫) because of failure(失敗), please read on. Usually, achieving(實現(xiàn)) what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.
“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders（蜘蛛）, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid（揭開蓋子） and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”
Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.

解析試題分析：本文用一個故事，來講述了一個道理，人們應(yīng)該有目標，并為實現(xiàn)該目標而付出自己的勞動，盡管這個目標有可能實現(xiàn)不了，而在做的過程中卻得到了自己的快樂是非常重要的。
【小題1】這是寫作意圖題。根據(jù)when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!故選A。
【小題2】這是標題歸納題。根據(jù)I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.文章的最后一句是中心句，故選D。
【小題3】這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)我們已有的知識，可知應(yīng)選A。
考點：這是一篇故事類的文章。
點評：作標題歸納題時應(yīng)注意：在閱讀文章時，要注意文章中反復出現(xiàn)或強調(diào)的信息，尋找與文章主題相關(guān)的信息，找出概括全文的核心詞匯。確認選項內(nèi)容是否切中文章的中心論題，也就是要看選項內(nèi)容與作者的寫作目的是否一致。從整篇文章出發(fā)歸納概括出文章的標題，要防止本末倒置、主次不分。
