Question

【題目】It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others.

The man who is too lazy to work is the man who’s generally most ready to beg or steal. Every boy should learn some useful work when he is young.

But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. Heshould put his effort completely into his work, and not waste his free time. “Working while you work and playing while you play is as good a rule for young people as for the old.”

There is no better help to diligence (勤奮) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one can make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.

試題分析: 這篇文章是想說明只有勤奮，才會成功

【1】C細節(jié)考察題，第二段第一句The man who is too lazy to work is the man who’s generally most ready to beg or steal.可知如果一個人太懶不工作的話，很有可能成為乞丐或是盜賊。

【2】D細節(jié)考察題，根據第二段可知對于年輕人來說，如果想勤奮，最重要的是該玩玩，該工作就工作。

【3】B題目是問一個人不會成功，除非在年輕的時候？第四段One must study hard when one is young so that one can make great progress, succeed in life 可知只有在年輕的時候好好學習，才能取得進步，走向成功，所以選擇B學習勤奮。

【4】D給文章選題目首先要知道文章的主旨大意，作者通過舉例子說明只有勤奮才會成功，A懶惰的孩子可以變得勤奮，并沒有點出文章的主旨意思B年輕人應該做的事情，太籠統(tǒng)，C時間不再來，本文并沒有珍惜時間的意思D勤奮，成功之母最符合文章的寫作意圖，適合當文章的題目。
