話對他接下來幾天要做的決定提供了清晰的思路和暗示的提醒。故選B。（5）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段，針對我們當(dāng)下不同的需求，奇跡時時處處都以不同原因存在著。我們的工作不是質(zhì)疑這些離奇的事情，更多的是接受生活帶給我們的這些禮物。故選A。（6）考查推理判斷。從智者的行為“comingdownfromthetopofthishistoricmountain”下山；和智者對作者說的話“Sometimesyoudon'tknowwhatyouhavelostuntilyou'velostit.”在失去前你不知道你得到了什么可推斷，智者告訴作者要珍惜現(xiàn)在所擁有的。故選D?！军c評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
