正确答案: C

happiness in retrospect

题目：请阅读 Passage 2,完成 1~5小题。 　　Passage 2 　　It's no srprise that Jennifer Senior's insightful,provocative magazine cover story,"I love My Children,I Hate My Life",is arousing much chatter-nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling,life-enriching experience.rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable,Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking ofit as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy,we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition.Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard.Senior writes that "the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources ofintense gratification and delight." 　　The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week.There are also stories about newly adoptive-and newly single-mom sandra Bullock,as well as the usual "Jennifer Aniston is pregnant" news.Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom,or mom-to-be,smiling on the newsstands. 　　In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation,is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn't seem quite fair,then,to compare the regrets ofparents to the regrets of the childless.Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn't have had kids,but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives. 　　Of course,the image ofparenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistiC.especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock.According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples,single parents are the least happy of all.No shock there,considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear sandra and Britney tell it,raising a kid on their "own" (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece ofcake. 　　It's hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut.But it's interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free,happiness-enhancing parenthood aren't in some small,subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience,in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting "the rachel" might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.

解析：细节题。文章第一段最后一句“…the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources ofintense gratification and delight'’指出，正是那些当时压抑我们的琐事，日后却成为满足和欢乐的源泉。要注意此句话中的“later”，C项中的“in retrospect”意为“回顾往事，回想”，与之相呼应。故本题选C。A、D两项是根据文中的“moment-to-moment joy”和“intense gratification and delight”的字面含义设置的一对相反的干扰项；B项属于反向干扰。

学习资料的答案和解析：

[单选题]What is being practised if a teacher asks students to read words like "cot,hot" and "dog,log" ?

Minimal pairs,

解析：本题考查语音教学。最小对立体，也称最小对立对，指除了出现在同一个位置上的一个音之外其余都相同的两个语音组合。题目中的cot与hot，dog与log两组词都只有一个音素的差别，因此该教师让学生练习的是最小对立体。故本题选C。

[单选题] When students learn "apple, orange", the teacher gives students another word "fruit". Which principle does the teacher follow in his/her vocabulary teaching?

Systematic principle.

解析：考查词汇教学原则。系统性原则是指在词汇教学时要注意给学生展示词汇之间的系统性和联系性，如音形关系、形意关系、词形变化关系、反义词、同义词、上下位词等。题干中教师展示的词汇的上位词，故选D。A项指"词汇选择原则"，指选择目标词汇时，应当选择具有代表性的、能够用于其他活动的、经常出现的词汇。B项指"展示原则"，指展示新词时应当将其直观化、情景化和趣味化。C项指"文化原则"，是指语言是文化的载体，词汇结构、词义结构和搭配都该与该语言的文化相连。

[单选题]小王，小赵和小李的艺术专长分别为小提琴，二胡和古筝，已知：小王比小赵年龄大，小李比弹古筝的年龄小，拉小提琴的年龄最大。根据上述条件，可以确定的是( )。

小王拉小提琴，小赵弹古筝，小李拉二胡

解析：本题考查朴素逻辑。根据题干"小李比弹古筝的年龄小，拉小提琴的年龄最大"，可以推出：小李的专长不是古筝，小李的专长不是小提琴，小李的专长只能是二胡。根据题干"小王比小赵年龄大，拉小提琴的年龄最大"，可以推出：小王专长是小提琴。综上可以推出：小赵专长是古筝。故选择A项。

[单选题]天空有大片云彩飘动时，我们看到月亮好像在云彩中穿行，而云彩好像没动，这是哪种运动的知觉现象？( )

似动

解析：似动指的是人们把客观上静止的物体看成是运动的，或者把客观上不连续的位移看成是连续运动的现象。它主要包括三种形式，即动景运动、诱发运动和自主运动。动景运动指当两个刺激物按一定空间间隔和时间间隔相继呈现时，人看到原来两个静止的物体的连续运动的现象。诱发运动是指由于一个物体的运动使其邻近的一个静止的物体产生运动的现象。自主运动是缺乏外在参照物的情况下，把静止的对象视为运动的一种幻觉。这里题干描述的是似动中的诱发运动现象。
