Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Does Fame Drive You Crazy
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's attention.Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready.Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to pyschologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time，” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B．C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold－out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film－stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
【语篇解读】 尽管成名听起来就像梦想实现了一样，然而当今的明星面临我们难以想像的压力……
11．It can be learned from the passage that stars today________.

答案　B
13．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today
A．Availability of modern media.

答案　D
B
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.
【语篇解读】　本文主要论述了在人生中要成功，虽然运气、天赋、家庭出身固然很重要，但首先要树立目标，然后花大量的时间来学习和实践，没日没夜地工作，达到入迷的程度，并长此以往。
15．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the reasons for success
B．the meaning of success
C．the standards of success
D．the importance of success
解析　段意归纳题。文中的“运气”“天赋”“家庭环境”等都是指成功的条件或理由，故选A。本段中并没有讲什么是成功，排除选项B(成功的含义)和C(成功的标准)；也没讲成功对人生有哪些重要性，也容易排除选项D。
答案　A
16．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A．work makes one feel pain
B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．one gives up his work easily
D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
解析　细节理解题。题眼出现在第三段第一句This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.但其中的this就是指代上文的内容，即第二段的最后两句话的内容．..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.这两句就告诉我们，要成功需要花费大量的时间。
答案　D
17．What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
解析　推理判断题。由第一句they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost可推知。
答案　C
18．What is the main theme of the passage
A．Having a goal is vital to success.
B．Being good is different from being great.
C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.
解析　主旨归纳题。由第二段开头的However可知，本文的中心论题不是第一段而在第二段．..to succeed in life, one first needs to...needs to...，再结合最后一段第一句．..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.可知本文的主题思想是：不花时间和实践是不可能取得成功的。
答案　C
