1.[C]推理判断题。本题考查隐含的因果关系。第1段破折号后面的内容为隐含的原因，由此可见C为本题正确选项A没有原文依据，选项B与结论并无合理的因果关系，选项D对原文有曲解，原文是说这个问题使作者想起了年轻时候的往事，而并不是选项D中说的leamfromthequestion。

2.[D]事实细节题。本题考查复合句的理解。第2段首句中dotheverybestwecan与第2句Weknow…it’sourchallenge表明选项D为本题正确答案。本题最具干扰性的是选项C，其中的challenge在第2句明确提到，但是此处的challenge不是指挑战生活，而是指本句第一个分句中提到的“让所有事情完美”。

3.[A]主旨大意题。本段第1句是主题句,理解这个同位语从句是关键,只有选项A表达了这一句的意思。要注意其中surrender的宾语是thefactthatlifeisn’tfair,而不是life,这样就可以否定最具干扰性的B选项了。

4.[B]词义推断题。本题考查this所指的理解。最后一段倒数第2句中,thisverybasicfact指的是本句的从句中的theinjusticesoftheworld,另外，短语thefactthatlifeisn’tfair在文中反复出现，是本文的主题，因此结合上下文可以推出答案。其余三项虽然在文中均有提及,但只是个别细节,并非作者反复强调的中心话题。

5.[A]观点态度题。作者批评了自怜的情绪,提出对他人要有同情心,强调承认生活不公平并不是向生活妥协,而是将我们从自我怜悯中摆脱出来，采取一些有积极意义的行动，由此可见，作者对生活的态度是积极的，即选项A。
