Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

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 to that,in order to get 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.

【解析】

試題分析：議論文 成功的原因是什么？不是因為天賦，也不是因為出生于富裕家庭，靠的是時間的投入及不斷練習。

【1】根據(jù)第一段可以得知作者列出許多成功因素，故選A

【2】猜詞題 此種題目的答案多數(shù)在前文找，根據(jù)前文，不難得知答案。However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. 譯文為：然而，要在生活中取得成功，你必須要設定一個目標然后逐步將它變得更加實際。除此之外，要變得更加擅長某事，必須花費至少10,000個小時進行學習和實踐。此外，也可以從結構上找到答案，出現(xiàn)兩次的needs. 屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。

【3】細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第三段的this is a big reason why......, "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.可知答案的關鍵是this。而this 指代的內(nèi)容剛好是與時間(To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.)有關。屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。

【4】推理判斷題 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." 句義為"很容易去認為他們是運氣好，或者天生有些獨特的天賦，但是這么想對你并無好處，而且極有可能你想錯了�？梢缘弥�很多人的成功并不是因為天賦或運氣。通過but之后的內(nèi)容“thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.”不難得出答案。而且也可以通過排除法得出答案。A項的“show skills 展現(xiàn)技能”表達錯誤。C項的表達“at the cost of life 以生命為代價”是錯誤的，這不符合常理，但這道題最容易出錯。D項可以根據(jù)第四段最后一句的does you no good排除。

【5】主旨大意題 可通過文章最后一段主題句"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. "以及文章多次提到要花費時間和精力可知正確選項為C。ABD項都是以偏概全。屬于原詞重現(xiàn)。
