【題目】Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do .some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition tothat, in order to be really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
【1】Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success
B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success
D. the importance of success
【2】In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.
A. being good at something
B. setting a practical goal
C. putting in more time
D. succeeding in life
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
【4】What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
【答案】
【1】A
【2】B
【3】B
【4】C
【解析】試題分析：文章主要告訴我們要想取得成功就需要投入大量的時間和練習而不是期盼所謂的天分和運氣。
【1】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段關鍵詞some people think…success is for those with…, I’m going to say…, success, because…，由此可知，這里是發(fā)表有些人和作者自己對成功的原因的觀點看法，故選B。
【2】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)這詞所在的位置，分析句子結構可知，這里是指前面的內容，所以定位于第二段的one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical，可知that指的是樹立一個目標，故選B。
【3】B推斷理解題。根據(jù)第四段It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.可知作者要表達的意思是：有認為成功的人有運氣和天分這種想法對你沒好處，大多時候會使你犯錯，也就是說一些人的成功并不是考=靠運氣和天分，故選B。
【4】C主旨大意題�？偨Y文章大意以及第二段one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. T最后一段 If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. 可知文章主要講了成功需要靠付出大量的時間和練習，故選C。
段落 | 關鍵詞、句 | 大意推測 |
第一部分（Para. 1） | success; talent; luck; family circumstances; reality; life | 成功的因素：有些人的觀點、作者的看法。 |
第二部分（Para. 2） | succeed in life; set a goal; practical; good at something; time | 生活的成功：作者認為要有樹立目標，并投入時間和付之于實踐。 |
第三部分（Para. 3） | successful people; advise; love; not enjoy; pain; become good at | 成功人士的建議：愛自己做的事情。 |
第四部分 | people; exhibiting…great skills or having achieved great success; a huge part of life; at a huge cost; lucky; born with rare talent; thinking; no good; a huge chance; be wrong | 對成功的理解：成功的人展示高超的技能和莫大的成功，他們付出很多；認為他們是有運氣或天生的天分對你沒好處，只會增多你犯錯的可能。 |
第五部分 | become great at; need to work; time; consistent; level of success | 總結：要想擅長于你做的事，得要情愿投入時間、努力工作和做到持續(xù)。 |

Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, Sqzeirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. 【1】They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃）trees【2】 The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.
Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.【3】 So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.
