12.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 practising.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,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.

21.Paragraph 1 mainly talks aboutD.
A.the importance of success              B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success               D.the reasons for success
22.In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers toC.
A.being good at something             B.putting in more time 
C.setting a practical goal            D.succeeding in life
23.Successful people suggest doing what one loves becauseB.
A.work makes one feel pain            B.it takes a lot of time to succeed
C.one gives up his work easily        D.one tends to enjoy his work
24.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A
A.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B.Successful people like to show their great skills.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

分析 有人认为成功是属于那些有天赋的人,或者是出生于良好家庭的人,也有人认为成功大部分是来自于好运.而作者认为,要在生活中取得成功,你必须要设定一个目标然后逐步将它变得更加实际.除此之外,要变得更加擅长某事,必须花费至少一万个小时进行学习和实践.如果想要在某个事业取得巨大成就,那需要花费常人所不能投入的更多的时间.所以我们要去做自己喜欢的事情,如果做自己不喜欢的事情,我们是无法忍受的,并且会提前放弃.总的来说,要想取得成功,我们需要没日没夜地工作,达到入迷的程度,并长此以往.

解答 DCBA
21.D 主旨大意题.通过第一段我们可以得知作者列出很多人认为成功的因素,如"Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence"出生在好的家庭,天赋异禀,可得知本段主要在讲一些成功的因素,故选D.此外根据上下文意思和排除法,不难得出答案是原因.其他meaning(意义),standards(标准),importance(重要性)都不正确.
22.C 代词指代题.此种题目的答案多数在前文找,根据前文,不难得知答案.However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in additional to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.此外,也可以从结构上找到答案,出现两次的needs.故选C.
23.B 细节理解题.题眼出现在第三段第一句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,即第二段的最后两句话的内容…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.故选B.
24.A 推理判断题.根据第四段"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."句义为"很容易去认为他们是运气好,或者天生有些独特的天赋,但是这么想对你并无好处,而且极有可能你想错了.可以得知很多人的成功并不是因为天赋或运气.故选A.

20.Monitoring the mood of a pet dog could be used as an early warning sign that an elderly owner is struggling to cope,a new report has claimed.
Researchers placed movement sensors on dogs to track their behaviour and identified 17 distinct activities,including chewing,barking,sitting and digging.This allowed them to map the normal behaviour of a healthy,happy dog,which means any changes can be monitored and could indicate an issue with their owner.
Nils Hammerla,part of the team from Newcastle University,said,"Humans and dogs have lived together in close relationships for thousands of years,which has led to strong emotional and social mutual bonds."
"A dog's physical and emotional dependence on their owner means that their wellbeing is likely to reflect that of their owner.Any changes such as the dog being walked less often,perhaps not being fed regularly,or simply demonstrating"unhappy"behaviour could be an early indicator for families that an older relative needs help.This is the first system of its kind which allows us to remotely monitor a dog's behaviour in its natural setting."
The team of academics,who presented their findings at the 2013 UbiComp conference in Zurich,created a hitech,waterproof dog collar for the study.
Dr Cas Ladha,who led the study,said:"A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer.
But developing a system thatreassures family and carers that an older relative is well without intruding on (侵犯) the individual's privacy is difficult.This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to support people without the need for cameras."
A range of dogs was used for the study,as the team needed to map distinct behaviours that correlated between different breeds.

17.We're always looking for well-written reviews of books,music,movies,television shows,websites,video games and other products.When writing a review,concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like.Give examples of strengths and weaknesses,be descriptive and provide background information on an author,director,actor or musician,if possible.Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic,but be sure to express your own voice in your review.
Grammar Hint for Reviews:When describing a book,movie,album or anything else,use the present tense.
Book Reviews
Discuss an author's technique,strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot.Does the story flow?Is there a strong sense of character and place?Did you stay up until dawn to finish it?Is it good reading for teenagers?What influence did it have on you and why?If you've read other books by the same author,discuss how this book compares.
Movie Reviews
    Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances,music,lighting and setting,etc.Do these work together?Did some hold up while others didn't?If the movie is based on a book,discuss whether one is better than the other and why.If the movie is a remake,compare the film to its original.
Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses.Some readers may not have seen a movie yet,so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending!

1.New crime predicton software should reduce not only the murder rate,but the rate of other crimes.Developed by Richard Berk,a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,the software has already used in Baltimore and Philadelphia to predict which individuals on probation(缓刑) or parole(假释) are most likely to murder and to be murdered.
"When a person goes on probation or parole he is supervised(监督) by an officer.The question is‘what level of supervision is appropriate?'"said Berk.It used to be that parole officers used the person's criminal record,and their judgment to make decisions.
"This research replaces those seat-of-pants calculations,"he said.
Technology helps determine level of supervision.On average there is one murder for every 100,000people.Even among high-risk groups the murder rate is one in 100.Predicting such a rare event is very difficult,but advances in computer technology orks.
Years ago,the researchers made a dataset of more than 60,000various crimes.Using the software they developed,they found some much more likely to commit murder when paroled or probated.They could identify eight future murderers out of 100.
Berk's software examines roughly two dozen variables(可变因素),from criminal record to geographic location.The type of crimes,and more importantly,the age at which that crime was committedwere two of the most predictive variables.
"People assume that if someone murdered then they will murder in the future,"said Berk."What really matters is what that person did as a young individual.Predicting future crimes sounds well.But we aren't anywhere near being able to do that."
"Berk's scientific answer leaves policymakers with difficult questions.By labeling one group of people as high risk,and supervise them closely,there should be fewer murders,which the potential victims should be happy about.It also means that those high-risk individuals will be supervised more aggressively.For human rights advocates,that means punishing people who,most likely,will not commit a crime in the future,"said Bushway."It comes down to a question of whether you would rather make these errors or those errors."
25.The underlined words(in Para.3)probably meanA.
A.calculations based on subjective opinions
B.calculations based on widespread voting
C.calculations made by advanced technology
D.calculations based on serious considering
26.For 650people with crime records,how many potential murderers would the software find?C
A.65.B.13.C.52.D.65.
27.From Para 7,we can infer thatB.
A.the technology developed by Richard Berk will soon be widely used in the US
B.the technology would not be widely accepted in the short term
C.whether a person murders or not largely decidd by his upbringing while young
D.if a person murdered when he was fifty,he is sure to murder again while on probation
28.Which would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Closely Supervise Potential Murders
B.Measures Taken to Prevent Criminal Behavior
C.Technology Revolutionizes Judges'Way of Working
D.Software is Developed to Predict Criminal Behavior.
