【题目】阅读理解
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（沉迷）, 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）Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____.
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
（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）D
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了在人生中要成功，虽然运气、天赋、家庭出身固然很重要，但还有一些其他的因素可以让人获得成功。
（1）考查段落大意。文中的“运气”“天赋”“家庭环境”等都是指成功的条件或理由，故选A。本段中并没有讲什么是成功，排除选项B(成功的含义)和C(成功的标准)，也没讲成功的重要性，排除选项D，选A。
（2）考查词义猜测。根据上文“However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.”可知that指的是生活中的成功，选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”但其中的this就是指代上文的内容，即第二段中的内容“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，”这两句就告诉我们，要成功需要花费大量的时间，选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。根据第二段开头的However可知，本文的中心论题不是第一段而在第二段“to succeed in life, one first needs to… needs to…，再结合最后一段第一句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，”可知本文的主题思想是不花时间和实践是不可能取得成功的，选C。

Cottages, a lot of which are made of very large round rocks, seem to grow out of the mountain itself. Above them rises a stone fortress(城堡), parts of which predate even the arrival of the Moors. And views across the plains are, simply put, astonishing.

【题目】Grace doesn't want to move to New York because she thinks if she(live) there，she wouldn't be able to see her parents very often.

【题目】My brother was a headmaster at a school in a western state. He told me that a girl student 【1】(report)for telling others 【2】(proud) that she kept a gun in her school drawer. This girl was only 14 years old. As the headmaster, my brother made a decision to break the girl’s locked drawer 【3】(see) if there was really a gun. To his surprise there was a loaded gun. The girl was immediately suspended from school(停课).

【4】, the girl’s father was too angry with the headmaster. He said that school was dangerous and he felt that his daughter had very right to keep a gun in her drawer to protect herself. He also said that breaking her drawer invaded her 【5】(private) , and the headmaster had no right to search it.

The father caused 【6】much trouble that the school board(董事会)decided to meet over this issue. Should a teenager girl be allowed to keep 【7】 loaded gun in her drawer to protect herself? No. Then the school board decided to support the headmaster’s decision to suspend the girl. It was passed by a vote of four【8】three.

【题目】To communicate with foreigners, it is important to know their social customs. 【1】 Otherwise you may hurt the feelings of the other party without actually intending to do so. Here are some general hints.

1. 【2】 Some Japanese seem to feel that it is impolite to ask back even when they don’t quite understand. However, it’s much better to say that you don’t understand than to pretend you understand and answer very unclearly. When you don’t understand or haven’t caught what was said, you may ask by saying any of the following.

“I’m afraid I don’t understand you. Would you mind saying it again?”

“I’m sorry I don’t follow you. ’’

2. Always answer when you are asked a question. Westerners consider it very rude if a question is not answered. They think it is rude to ignore a question. 【3】 So many Japanese, particularly girl students, merely laugh nervously without saying anything when they are spoken to. This, no doubt, comes from embarrassment, but nothing is more unpleasant for Westerners.

3. 【4】 Westerners express their opinions freely. They feel it is natural for people to have different ideas, and don’t mind hearing views that differ from their own. You may express frankly what you think or feel, of course, but you mustn’t be rude in your manner of speech. Flat statements such as “ You’re wrong.” “You don’t know.’’ etc, aren’t exactly had.

4. 【5】 The English use of “Yes” and “No” is the same as in Japanese in affirmative (肯定的) questions, but in negative questions the use is opposite. In ordinary English conversation it is usual to add something after them like “Yes, by all means.” “No, I really don't. May I see it?”

A. It is the same with the Japanese.

B. If you don't understand, don’t hesitate to ask.

C. Speak out what you think.

D. It is surprising to find Japanese are different.

E. This is especially true when carrying on a conversation.

F. Don’t answer too simply.

G. Be sure to give your different opinions.
