题目内容
【题目】Everyone has a burning drive inside of them. 【1】 For others, the drive comes naturally and pushed them to do great things. See what those naturally highly motivated people do differently and what they can teach us.
They read a lot
When Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were asked if they could have one super power, they answered the same thing: to be able to read faster. 【2】 Reading allows one to take in the knowledge of some of the smartest people who have ever lived. Highly motivated people don’t spend much time watching reality TV—they do, however, spend their time reading.
They plan
Highly motivated people don't leave things up to chance. 【3】 They know this, and they make use of it. Start waking up and planning all the things you have to do for the day. You’ll be amazed at how much more productive you are.
【4】
Highly motivated people are always working for something. They know what they want, and they search for ways to achieve it.
They seek advice when needed.
There will be points in everyone's life where they just can’t do it on their own. 【5】 They don’t let stubbornness keep them from reaching their goals. Oftentimes, the best resource can be a person you see every day. Help them and they’ll help you in return. Yes, it's that simple.
A. They set goals.
B. They practise gratefulness all the time.
C. It doesn't matter if they're big or small.

【解析】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。
是什么因素促使成功人士登上事业的巅峰？作者认为，除了高度自我激励外，他们往往还具备了一些特质。
【1】考查对上下文语境的理解。空后句意：对另一些人来说，动力自然到来，推进他们做伟大的事情。E（对一些人来说，他们需要向别人学习来找寻动力。）项中的for some与空后的For other在语言结构和语意逻辑上形成对比。故选E。
【2】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前句意：当比尔盖茨和巴菲特被问及他们是否有一种超级力量时，他们的回答是一样的，能够快速阅读。空后的意思是阅读让人吸收最聪明的一些人的知识。阅读是学习的一种主要方式，故这里用D（高度自我激励的人始终在学习。）符合上下文。故选D。
【3】考查对上下文语境的理解。本部分的主题是“计划”。空前句意：高动机的人不会让事情由运气决定。空后句意：他们懂得这点，并且会利用这点。可知这里用F（计划让人们把事情完成得又快又好。）符合上下文，故选F。
【4】考查对上下文语境的理解。本段主要讲述高度自我激励的人往往在工作中有清晰的目标，这与A项 They set goals.在语意上相術接。故选A。
【5】考查对上下文语境的理解。空格前面的内容为每个人的生活中都有不能独自完成工作的时候，与G项中的go out and look for help有顺承关系。故选G。
做题时需要明白整篇文章的主旨，文章整体的思路、每一段的用意以及作者的写作意图。理清段落之间和句子之间的逻辑关系也有助于帮助学生把握文章的整体结构和思路。如果这些理不顺的话，就很难把文章读下去。从文章的整体性来考虑，五个选项即是独立的也是有关联的。尤其是那些总结性的，或者承上启下性的句子，选错了还会影响到你对下一个空格的判断。
1）在阅读过程中，要关注文章的首段与末段。因为“开门见山”与“末尾点题”的写作方式是最为常见的，首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。如本文第一段的最后一句See what those naturally highly motivated people do differently and what they can teach us.看看这些自觉高动力的人们做的有什么不同以及他们能教给我们什么。可知下文要向我们介绍促使成功人士登上事业的巅峰与众不同的地方，这样就会对整篇文章有比较准确的把握。
2）做题的时候边读边做。空前空后的句子是判断选项最重要的线索。另外，带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。如果发现有一题拿不准的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。如第1小题，E项中的for some与空后的For other在语言结构和语意逻辑上形成对比，可选出答案；第5小题，空格前面的内容为人们有时不能仅靠个人力量完成工作，与G项中的go out and look for help有顺承关系，可选出答案。
3）做完后，通读全文。将所选项放入空白处，通读一遍，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。若代入选项后，发现文章写作线索中断或是前后矛盾，应更换其它选项。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，排除干扰，得出正确选项。
