Question

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．

Answer 1

分析 有人認(rèn)為成功是屬于那些有天賦的人，或者是出生于良好家庭的人，也有人認(rèn)為成功大部分是來(lái)自于好運(yùn)．而作者認(rèn)為，要在生活中取得成功，你必須要設(shè)定一個(gè)目標(biāo)然后逐步將它變得更加實(shí)際．除此之外，要變得更加擅長(zhǎng)某事，必須花費(fèi)至少一萬(wàn)個(gè)小時(shí)進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐．如果想要在某個(gè)事業(yè)取得巨大成就，那需要花費(fèi)常人所不能投入的更多的時(shí)間．所以我們要去做自己喜歡的事情，如果做自己不喜歡的事情，我們是無(wú)法忍受的，并且會(huì)提前放棄．總的來(lái)說(shuō)，要想取得成功，我們需要沒(méi)日沒(méi)夜地工作，達(dá)到入迷的程度，并長(zhǎng)此以往．

解答 DCBA
21．D 主旨大意題．通過(guò)第一段我們可以得知作者列出很多人認(rèn)為成功的因素，如"Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence"出生在好的家庭，天賦異稟，可得知本段主要在講一些成功的因素，故選D．此外根據(jù)上下文意思和排除法，不難得出答案是原因．其他meaning（意義），standards（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)），importance（重要性）都不正確．
22．C 代詞指代題．此種題目的答案多數(shù)在前文找，根據(jù)前文，不難得知答案．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，也可以從結(jié)構(gòu)上找到答案，出現(xiàn)兩次的needs．故選C．
23．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．題眼出現(xiàn)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就是指代上文的內(nèi)容，即第二段的最后兩句話的內(nèi)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．這兩句就告訴我們，要成功需要花費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間．故選B．
24．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)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．"句義為"很容易去認(rèn)為他們是運(yùn)氣好，或者天生有些獨(dú)特的天賦，但是這么想對(duì)你并無(wú)好處，而且極有可能你想錯(cuò)了．可以得知很多人的成功并不是因?yàn)樘熨x或運(yùn)氣．故選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文，把握文章大意，對(duì)文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解，能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié)，并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)判斷．
