题目内容
13.One of the many great lines in the movie Apollo 13came from Ed Harris,who played NASA Director of Operations,Gene Kranz.The famous line was,"Gentleman,failure is not an option."He said the words because he had a clear purpose that the three astronauts,trapped in space must be sent home safely.The driving force behind their seeking of a solution was motivated by a true purpose.Here is the simple principle.If you have a big enough'why'in life,you will always figure out the'how.'A person without a purpose in life is like a boat without a rudder,floating aimlessly without a direction and going nowhere.In all walks of life,when referring to someone's success,we often hear the words"focus and determination".But Merriam Webster defines the word"purpose"as the reason why something is done,a feeling of being determined to achieve an outcome.There are many talented and intelligent people in the world that are unsuccessful because they lack direction.I believe that our life depends on our purpose.Whether you're single or in a team,having a purpose allows you to start,evaluate,and improve your talents or abilities helps you find your path in life and achieve your success finally.
A friend of mine once told me that the most motivating speech he had ever heard was just three short words.It came from his.wife when she said,"Honey I'm pregnant(怀孕的)."He said those few words instantly motivated him because he now had a big"why"in his life,a purpose to work hard to support his family.In fact,when your"why"gets bigger,you get better because you stop holding back and you'll go all out.It's why you often hear about some great people perform superhuman actions when failure is not an option!

分析 本文主要写得是生活中应该有一个大大的why,因为那样你会变得更好,因为你不再退缩,你会全力以赴.
解答 24. D 词义猜测题.根据前一句A person without a purpose in life is like a boat without a rudder.人生没有目标,犹如船没有舵.floating aimlessly 漫无目的飘荡.rudder应该是船上的舵,所以答案选D.
25.B 细节理解题.根据句子But Merriam Webster defines the word"purpose"as the reason why something is done,a feeling of being determined to achieve an outcome.但韦氏定义"目的"为理由做某事的原因,一是下定决心要达到的结果的感觉.可见成功最主要的是purpose,所以答案选B.
26.C 推理判断题.根据句子when your"why"gets bigger,you get better because you stop holding back and you'll go all out.可见举朋友的例子就是为了说明这样一个观点,当你的"为什么"变大时,你会变得更好,因为你不再退缩,你会全力以赴.所以答案选C.
27.B 主旨大意题.本文主要写得是生活中应该有一个大大的why,因为那样你会变得更好,因为你不再退缩,你会全力以赴.所以答案选B.
