Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
(2013·广东高考)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.
36．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
37．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to________.
A．being good at something
B．setting a practical goal
C．putting in more time
D．succeeding in life
38．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
39．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.
40．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.
B
Believe it or not，optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point.It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion.Bent stripes，called chevrons(人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D．C.is planning to repeat Japan's success.Starting next year，the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents，according to the Foundation.To help reduce those accidents，the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards(危险)are the greatest－curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half.
However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.
Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
41．The passage mainly discusses ________.
A．a new way of highway speed control
B．a new pattern for painting highways
C．a new approach to training drivers
D．a new type of optical illusion
42．On roads painted with chevrons，drivers tend to feel ________.
A．they should avoid speed-related hazards
B．they are driving in the wrong lane
C．they should slow down their speed
D．they are approaching the speed limit
43．The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________.
A．try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B．change the road signs across the country
C．replace straight，horizontal bars with chevrons
D．repeat the Japanese road patterns
44．What does the author say about straight，horizontal bars painted across roads?
A．They are falling out of use in the US.
B．They are applicable only on broad roads.
C．They cannot be applied successfully to traffic rules.
D．They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.
45．The advantage of chevrons over straight，horizontal bars is that the former ________.
A．can keep drivers awake
B．can cut road accidents in half
C．will have a longer effect on drivers
D．will look more attractive
C
Wildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals.Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.
1．Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.
When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.
2．Avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your area.
Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.

By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take buses or the subway when you can，turn off electric devices when you're not using them, take shorter showers，and keep your room temperature at or below 6-8 degrees during the winter.
4．Buy products that are wildlife friendly.
Don't buy products that are made from endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
5．Donate money or time to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.
You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife species in your neighbourhood.

Fourteen-year-old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest.Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.
The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear，worrying about mistakes，and trying to impress the judges.But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm.“I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I'd make－it would distract(干扰)me from playing，”he says.“I didn't even remember trying to impress people while I played.It's almost as if they weren't there.I just wanted to make music.”
Hawley is a winner.But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning.He did it by concentrating on playing well.
A characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration on work，rather than on their competitors or future glory or money，says Dr.Charles Garfield，who has studied 1,500 achievers in business，science，sports，the arts，and professions.“They are interested in winning，but they're most interested in self-development，testing their limits.”
One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had and how much they've learned from each.“Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing，”Garfield says.“They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’．”
A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning，experts agree.
“The worst thing you can do if you've had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression.You should analyze carefully what went wrong，identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.”Garfield believes that most people don't give themselves enough praise.He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you've done on the way to a goal.
51．Hawley won the contest because ________.
A．he put all his mind to his performance
B．he cared much about the judges' feelings
C．he worried about making mistakes.
D．he paid close attention to the people around
52．According to the passage，successful people concentrate on ________.
A．defeating their opponents
B．learning from others
C．challenging their own limits
D．avoiding setbacks
53．High performers is that they tend to concentrate on ________.
A．glory B．wealth
C．pleasure D．work
54．The passage tells us that“praise”in times of trouble ________.
A．helps people deal with their disappointment
B．makes people forget their setbacks
C．makes people regret about their past
D．helps people realize their goals
55．It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not ________.
A．interested in winning
B．free of losses
C．accustomed to failures
D．concerned about setbacks

16．D 根据the better off your life will be可知这里是指你早点“开始”克服这些消极心理。

18．C 根据后面的talented enough or pretty enough可知作者小的时候，别人总是说她不够“聪明”、有天赋或者漂亮。
19．D 根据文章首段的Overcoming negativity is something that can take a lifetime.可知别人对她说的这些话现在对她还有一定的影响，故她现在还在“应对”这种悲伤情绪。

【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气，而是设定一个符合实际的目标，然后为此不断地努力、付出。巨大的努力也许无法确保你想要的成功，但是你为之付出的(领域)一定会成为你的优势所在。
36．A 主旨大意题。第一段主要分析了成功的原因，有人认为是天赋、出身或者运气，但是作者并不完全认同，认为这只是生活的现实而已。故A项正确。B项意为“成功的意义”；C项意为“成功的标准”；D项意为“成功的重要性”，均与第一段不相关。
37．B 词义猜测题。根据上句．..to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.可知，that代指“设定一个符合实际的目标”。
38．D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，成功需要付出大部分人不愿付出的时间来学习和练习，这就是成功人士建议一个人要从事他所喜欢的事情的原因，故D项“成功需要很多时间”正确。A项和C项描述的情况只能在一个人不喜欢的前提下发生，故排除。B项意为“人们往往喜欢自己的工作”，文章中无从得知。
39．B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，认为成功是依靠运气或者天赋的想法对你是没有好处的，很有可能你错了，也就是说有时候人们的成功并不是靠这些因素，故B项正确。A项与本段首句不一致，并未提到成功的人喜欢展示自己的技巧；C项at the cost of life“付出生命的代价”是对they have put in a huge part of their life“付出他们生命中绝大部分的时间”的曲解；根据．..thinking that way does you no good...排除D项。
40．C 主旨大意题。概括全文可知，文章主要指出成功的关键不是靠天赋、出身或运气，没有大量的时间和练习，一个人是不会取得成功的。文章虽然提到，要取得成功首先要设定一个符合实际的目标，但没说这是“至关重要的(vital)”，这并非文章的主题；文章也并非主要比较being good与being great的不同，故排除B项；D项与文章内容相反。
41．A 主旨大意题。文章的主题句往往位于文章的开头或是结尾，本文就在第一自然段。
42．C 细节理解题。文章最后一段，表明chevrons给驾车人的印象比他们开的实际的要快。而且路也变窄了，所以他们会放慢速度。
43．A 细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句话，他们将在选择的道路上实验这种方法。
44．D 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段最后一句话“...within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.”可知。
45．C 细节理解题。根据文章最后两段可以看出chevrons的优点在于效果长久。
46．D 作者意图题。根据第一段最后一句话可知文章的写作目的是给我们一些好的建议，告诉我们怎样通过小的行为来保护野生动物。
47．A 细节理解题。根据文章第一句及文中第四点的做法，可知作者提到了B、C、D三项的内容，而文中没有提到动物疾病，故选A项。
48．A 主旨大意题。作者通过具体的例子告诉了我们一些节约能源的方法，A项意为“过更加环保的生活”，可以概括主题，B、C两项不全面，D项太宽泛。
49．D 细节理解题。由第一点中第三句话可知D项正确。
50．A 推理判断题。文章是关于如何通过小的行为举动来保护野生动物的，与环境息息相关，故选A项。
51．A 细节理解题。由第二段内容可知Hawley没有太过担心评委的感受，没有担心犯错，也没太在意打动观众，而是“...did it by concentrating on playing well”，即A项。
52．C 细节理解题。由第五段内容可知C项正确。
53．D 细节理解题。由第五段第一句话“A characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration on work”可知D项正确。
54．A 细节理解题。由最后一段内容可推知“praise”有助于人们对抗失望、沮丧。
55．B 推断题。由倒数第三段第一句话可推知B项正确。
56．How to help kids develop good hobbies. 57.Good hobbies are hobbies that are beneficial to the kids' overall growth. 58.push your kids too hard
59．Good hobbies for one child may not be good for another. 60.Good hobbies.

DearTom，
I'm sorry I couldn't reply to your email which you sent me a week ago immediately.I was so occupied with going over my lessons for my final exam.Now I am writing to tell you my plans for the coming summer holidays.
The first thing I plan to do is to do a part-time iob in a fast-food restaurant.Not only will I earn much money but I will also gain some social experience through it.In addition，I will go on a trip to Sichuan，where there are a great number of places of interest.I have been looking forward to going there for nearly a year.Finally and most importantly，I'll go to Ya'an to work as a volunteer.There is no doubt that children there are badly in need of care and help.I'll help them forget about sorrow by playing with them and telling stories.I hope what I will do will make a great difference to them.
Wish you a good holiday!
Yours，
Li Hua

Ⅰ.1.observed 2.reality 3.contemporary
4．traditional 5.aspect 6.imitate 7.adopt
8．painters 9.dislike 10.alive
Ⅱ.1.C 考查词义辨析。living活着的，健在的；alive有生命的，有生气的；live活的，直播的；life名词，意为生命。本题应表示现场直播，故C项正确。
2．A stand表示容忍、承受时，后面常跟名词、代词或动名词，因此选A。句意：他受不了和他妻子的争吵，所以一句话没说就离家而去。

4．A “以……为目标”的表达为：aim at (doing)sth./be aimed at (doing)sth./aim to do sth.因为其后有promoting，故A项正确。
5．D 句意：他得了一场重病，但幸运的是，最后还是活下来了。living意为“活着的”，单独用时作前置定语；live意为“直播的，活生生的”，在句中作定语，lively意为“有生气的；活泼的”，alive意为“活着的”，在句中可作表语，只有D项符合句意和句子结构，故D项正确。

10．C 考查分词作定语，考虑到maps 与borrow 为被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。

What does an artist want to do？Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public.Not only does he want to say it well，but he wants it to be something which has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand...he wants to teach，and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual (视觉)artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain，because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors，not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors，out of the countless billions possible，is exceptionally (特殊地)interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors，or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take shapes and colors from the world or nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (静态)，their choices show that these fields of the world are worth looking at，that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary (当代的)artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern，that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous (生疮的)leg and a lake in moonlight，each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something，showing us something and emphasizing something，all of which means that he is trying to teach us.
1．An artist hopes that the public will ________.
A．understand him and learn from him
B．notice only shapes and colors in his work
C．teach him something
D．believe what he says in his work
2．It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because ________.
A．most painters do not express themselves well
B．a painter uses unusual words and phrases
C．a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words
D．many painters do not say anything
3．Without the artist's work，the public might not ________.
A．notice particular shapes or colors
B．see the shapes and colors that express his experiences
C．feel his delight in shapes and colors
D．All of the above.
4．The writer says that contemporary art contains ________.
A．nothing but meaningless patterns
B．uninteresting aspects of the world
C．subjects chosen partly for their meaning
D．completely meaningless subjects

Having crossed mountains and plains，rivers and lakes，some of France's greatest works of art are now on show at China National Museum of Fine Arts.Fifty-one impressionists' (印象派画家)paintings are forming part of an exhibition in Beijing to kick_off the Year of France.
The show is being held in the capital between October 10 to November 27,2012.Then it will move on to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
“It is such a good opportunity to see the masters' work up close，”said Feng Jiajia，a Senior 3 student from the High School Affiliated to the Academy of Art and Design (中央工艺美院附中)．Although Feng is very busy with his studies at the moment he says he will definitely make time to see the exhibition.“I hope it will inspire me and help me with my own work，”he said.
Worth a total of US $ 600 million，the paintings are painted by French Impressionist masters，including Monet，Cezanne，Renior and Degas.
As an art style，impressionism was developed in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Their work was a fresh and original way of painting.They look like the artist painting a scene after just a quick look at it.
Often painting outside，rather than in a studio，the artists observed nature more directly and tried to catch individual moments in time，especially the changing light of the sun.They avoided black and earth colors and as a result their work is often very bright and can also look like it is shining.
When they first appeared，the artists were criticized for not finishing their paintings and for being lazy.Critics (批评家)said the Impressionists were satisfied with just a few inexact brushstrokes (笔画)instead of completing a real painting.It was an art critic who first used the term “Impressionist” in a review of Monet's work Impression，Sunrise (1873)to satirize (讽刺)his loose，inexact manner of painting.
“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand，as if it were necessary to understand，when it is simply necessary to love，” said Monet.
Monet is the leading figure in the creation of Impressionism.He painted sunlit rivers and gardens with forceful brushstrokes and bright colors，in which objects lose their shape in the light. Monet's painting reached its height in later life with his paintings of Water Lilies (睡莲)．
5．What does the phrase “kick off” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Start. B．Finish.
C．Go on. D．Congratulate.
6．Why do the students want to see the exhibition?
A．Because they are free during that time.
B．Because they think it can inspire them and help them with their own work.
C．Because they can buy some of the famous paintings.
D．Because the paintings are better than the paintings drawn by our own artists.
7．Which is NOT true about the impressionists?
A．They began to paint this kind of paintings about 100 years ago.
B．They often paint outside，not in a studio.
C．Their paintings are very bright and the paintings are shining.
D．Their paintings are not completed at all.
8．What is the critics' real meaning of using “impressionist” to Monet?
A．He is very satisfied with Monet's painting.
B．He thinks Monet's painting is an inexact manner of painting.
C．He doesn't like Monet's painting at all.
D．He can't understand the theme of Monet's painting.
