【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Does Failure Really Exist?
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 【1】 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.
【2】
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the things get too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!
【3】
It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached. If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
【4】
Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. It simply means you have not done enough yet. You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.
【答案】
【1】 B
【2】 A
【3】 D
【4】 F
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。本文主要讨论失败是否真的存在,介绍避免失败的方法。我们应该永不放弃,把目标确定下来,但是不要给自己一个时间点,这样会感到失败,在努力的过程中会有挫折,这只能意味着你做得还不够。
【1】根据上文If you believe you don't have the ability to succeed,then you don't可知,如果你相信你没有成功的能力,那么,你就不成功,上文应是:失败只存在你自己的思想里面,故选B。
【2】本段的意思是:Never quit,never admit failure,and never lose heart.不要灰心丧气,不要承认失败,不要放弃,即:不要放弃自己。故选A。
【3】根据下文It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control.可知设定一个大致的时间表是个好主意,但是要记住有些事情是你无法控制的。即不要相信有一个明确的目标终点线。故选D。
【4】根据下文Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet.可知困难只意味着一件事:现在还不是你完成目标的时候。即:一定不要把困难看成是失败。故选F。
