8.Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant.I made an interesting discovery.This difference may at first look obvious,but it's quite opposite.(36)C  
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.If they don't,they wouldn't take action!(37)GWhen they take action,at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
  (38)D   What's the purpose behind your actions?Do you work to thrive(成功)or to survive?Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences.People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive.They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things.They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater.I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once.That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.(39)F   Therefore,you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don't accept the"Life is hard"story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose.They work to thrive.(40)A  They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.

A.And they don't think about why something cannot be done.
B.Such attitude invites great opportunities to you.
C.It lies in what motivates people to take action.
D.So let me ask you a few questions.
E.And this makes you take even more or better quality actions.
F.This state does not allow you to be creative
G.But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take.

分析 本文中作者告诉我们每个人行动背后都有一个目标.但成功人士在他们行动背后有一个完全不同的目标,他们始终想着如何通过行动来实现这个目标,在他们生活中他们认为没有什么是艰难的,他们为成功而采取行动,并且有美好的愿望,所以他们会成功.

解答 36.C 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.联系上句This difference may at first look obvious,but it's quite opposite.这个不同点起初看起来很明显,但是它是相反的,以及下段第一句Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.每个人行动背后都有一个目标,可知选项C.它取决于是什么激励人们去采取行动,符合语境,能够承接上下文,故选C.
37.G 考查上下文联系.Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.每个人行动背后都有一个目标,以及下句当他采取行动的时候,他们想的是这个行动给他们带来的成功.可知选项G.但是成功人士在他们行动背后有一个完全不同的目标,符合语境,能够承接上下文,故选G.
38.D 考查上下文联系.What's the purpose behind your actions?Do you work to thrive(成功)or to survive?Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?都是作者提问的问题,可知D说"所以让我问你几个问题"符合语境,能够承接下文,故选D.
39.F 信息提取题.上句That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.可知选F.This state does not allow you to be creative."state"是提示词.
40.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.联系上文有些人不相信生活是艰难的,他们为成功而工作,以及下文他们有一个美丽的愿望并且不断采取行动来实现这个愿望,可知选项A.他们不考虑为什么事情不能做,符合语境,能够承接上下文,故选A.

点评 "七选五"这样的题型,主要目的在于"考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握.解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1.理清文章的逻辑和结构,2.在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词.文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项,关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节,排除相近的选项.这些技巧多练练就能孰能生巧.

16.For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone.(16)A In a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys and many other things.
(17)CFor example,the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15European countries,and in one year it made 100million.InFrancetherearetwoteleshoppingchannels,andtheFrenchspendabout20million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1hour every day.Then the government allowed more teleshopping.Other channels can open for tele-business,including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company.(18)D
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason,but at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.(19)BMany Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them,and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
(20)EThey will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

A.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.
B.They call teleshopping"Junk on the air".
C.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
D.German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
E.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.
F.Teleshopping is popular among people.
G.German teleshopping business is controlled by American.
3.It's good to receive gifts.It also feels better to give gifts to others.So what's the best way to budget your money,shop wisely and spend smartly this holiday season?Time for kids asked for advice from Susan Beacham of Money Savvy Generation,a company that teaches money-management skills to kids.
"My first tip is to make a list and check it twice,"says Beacham.She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend.Start by writing down names,Beacham says.Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up.Do you have enough money?If not,make changes.And don't forget----not everyone needs a store-bought gift.Beacham points out that some of the best presents are free.Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of time and talent.
Do the match
Take the list with you to the store and"make sure that you do the match,"says Beacham"If you've spent﹩30 on someone you were going to spent﹩25 on,you're going to have to spend﹩5 less on somebody else."The key to budgeting is staying within the boundaries you've set for yourself.
Gifts from the heart
The best gifts don't cost a thing.Here are some of Beacham's top gifts ideas.
●For parents,make coupons(礼券) that can be trade for your services,such as doing dishes.
●For grandma,write a note telling her how special she is to you.
●For a friend,create a work of art,like a poem,a drawing or a necklace.
●For teachers,bake a delicious cake.

13."Sorry,but I don't agree with you…"This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears.I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I don't want to lose a friend.I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me,because my ego (自尊心) is hurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me,my usual response would be,"If you aren't able to see my point of view,then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration,either."But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me,sometimes she is simply saying,"I don't agree with the way things are done."She still respects me as a person,and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.However,there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth.That's when I need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully.While we can't control how a person will respond to our views,we must learn to disagree with our friends in love.We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional,and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way,we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up,sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions.Though I don't like being disagreed with,I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.

20.Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few players who were truly great.How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice,or are great players born,not made?
First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate(模仿).In the history of soccer,only seven countries have ever won the World Cup.There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.
Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game.Pele,who is often named as the greatest soccer of all time,was the son of a soccer player.He began to play soccer with his father when he was only three.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood-a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer(艺人).For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beatles,had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a"ball"made of rags(破布).And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall(对着墙壁踢球)in the slums(贫民窟)of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great.Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

60.According to the writer,which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.Great soccer players are born,not made.
B.Truly great players are rare.
C.Only two countries have ever had famous soccer stars.
D.Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.
61.Pele is cited as an example in the third paragraph to illustrate thatD.
A.great players come from places that have had famous stars in the past
B.many great soccer players come from poor areas
C.great players are all born with some unique physical quality
D.many great players start playing football at an early age.
62.The author owes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPTD.
A.family background
B.neighborhood
C.practice
D.height
63.In the last paragraph,why the author says that only one out of hundreds of boys became Pele?B
A.Because they are all from North America.
B.Because most of the boys lack some unique quality.
C.Because all great players have a lot in common.
D.Because boys of this time are born in rich neighborhood.
