Answer 1

此篇文章主要闡述了由于人對自己缺乏足夠的認識，不能正確看待自身的潛力而產(chǎn)生不好的后果。并通過一則事例說明凡事不要想當然，要充分挖掘自身的潛力，相信自己，不要輕易言敗�？山璞酒�鼓勵學(xué)生特別是后進生最后一博，在高考中展示新的自我。

1.         D A. B.不符合本文主旨。useless常用來修飾sth故選D.

2.         B 固定詞組。充分利用make full use of / make the best of / make the most of

3.         B 和前面的older搭配用age.

4.         C 認為自己在某方面缺乏天賦的人往往不會在這一方面真正投入精力，因為他認為做了等于白做還不如不去努力。從下文的事例也可推知答案。

5.         D 本題和51，52題呼應(yīng)。自信是成功的必備因素。necessary for success作定語修飾confidence

6.         D 不認真工作+缺乏信心，失敗也是理所當然。固選therefore.

7.         B多次失敗往往會使人形成一種錯誤的認識，更加認為自己在某方面真的無能。在此之前他已經(jīng)形成此觀點，故A不選

8.         A 作者以Alfred Alder為例就是因為Alfred Alder曾經(jīng)有過和本文所講同樣的經(jīng)歷。

9.         C 從a small boy 可知是回憶數(shù)學(xué)啟蒙時候的事情。

10.     B 和49后的as they expected相呼應(yīng)。老師認為他在數(shù)學(xué)上無什么天賦體現(xiàn)出老師對他在數(shù)學(xué)方面的期望值不高，告訴家長不要指望其兒子在數(shù)學(xué)方面有什么成就。

11.     A 在聽了老師的看法之后，家長也就自然對兒子形成了一種新的認識。Organized / found一般是建立某機構(gòu),C不符合文意。故選A

12.     D

13.     C.和第一段意思一樣，既然老師和父母都認為自己不行，自己肯定不行，在數(shù)學(xué)上先天不足再努力也沒用。try努力

14.     C 因為沒有用功所以學(xué)得很差，這種結(jié)果剛好和老師和家長的看法一致。

15.     A

16.     B

17.     B此句表示他目前的狀況，可將句子補全。He now worked at maths with great interest, determination, and purpose.

18.     D 用自己的經(jīng)歷證明了一個道理。

19.     B 從自己的經(jīng)歷他悟出了一個道理，用deeply才能表達出悟出道理這個漫長的過程。

20.     C從一個數(shù)學(xué)白癡到數(shù)學(xué)天才當然會讓人astonish。
