Question

【题目】 Have you ever heard that “Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）"? As a man aged 30, I believe it's true. It is, in fact, my law of life. In my eyes, what matters is not necessarily where you are in the end, but what you achieve while you are trying along the way. It means that no matter what it is, as long as you try, you can never fail. It means you can learn from your mistakes and continue on the next journey a little more wisely.

I think St. Louis Rams, a professional American football team in Missouri, as a whole shared my law of life. They played every game with their full potential（潜能）instead of letting a few winning games got to their heads. They had the goal of playing in every Super Bowl, a football game played in the US each year on the first Sunday in February. Even though they lost some games, they didn't give up.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to be on top in the end, or to win the game. What matters is that you worked hard the whole time. You should understand that success is a non-ending journey. Everyone should realize that someone will win and someone will lose. But what's important is that both sides need to try their best. After all, it's not who wins or loses, but how well you play the game and you should remember this in your own life.

【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。作者论述了自己的生活准则——成功不是终点，而是一段旅程。该篇文章为总分总式结构，即开篇提出成功不是终点这一观点，然后通过例证来证明这一观点，最后再一次陈述该观点。

【1】主旨大意题。作者在第一段首先指出了自己的生活准则“Success is a journey, not a destination”，之后对其进行了具体的阐述，因此第一段主要介绍了作者对自己生活准则的一些理解。故选C。

【2】词句猜测题。根据第二段划线句的前半句可知他们全力以赴地对待每一场比赛，再由 instead of可知后半句与前半句语义相反，所以后半句是指:让几次胜利冲昏头脑。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“They played every game with their full potential instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads”可知，St. Louis Rams对待每场比赛都是认真的。故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“what matters is that you worked hard the whole time; both sides need to try their best; how well you play the game”可知，从最后一段中我们知道无论做什么，我们都应竭尽全力。故选A。

【5】最佳标题。作者在文章首句即提出“成功不是终点”在第二段又用具体事例论述了作者欣赏的一种拼搏精神，最后告诉读者胜负输赢不重要，重要的是否是全力以赴。全篇都在围绕“成功不是结局”而展开，因此D项作标题最为合适。故选D。
