Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】F

【4】E

【5】D

【解析】

试题分析：失败是否真的存在，其实它只在你的思想里。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】B考查对上下文的理解。根据上文的句子：If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.可知：失败只存在你自己的思想里面，故选B符合语境。

【2】A 考查对段落的理解。 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，故选A。

【3】F考查对上下文的理解。空前的意思是：目标太高或者没有精力时就会放弃，不要那样做，承前，这里应该是：不但不要放弃，而且还应该朝着目标执着前行，无论发生什么，故选F。

【4】E考查对上下文的理解。空前的意思是：有些事不可控制 由此判断这里的意思是：你不能确定目标什么时候完成，故选E项与上下文符合。

【5】D考查对上下文的理解。根据上文的句子：It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals.可知：这只能意味着你做得不够,故选D符合上下文。
