Ⅲ.阅读理解
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.

B
When
Boris
left
school，he
could
not
find
a
job.
He
tried
hard
and
pestered(纠缠)his
relatives，but
they
had
problems
of
their
own.
He
answered
advertisements
until
he
could
not
afford
to
buy
any
more
stamps.
Boris
grew
annoyed，then
depressed，then
a
little
hardened.
Still
he
went
on
trying
and
still
he
failed.
He
began
to
think
that
he
had
no
future
at
all.
“Why
don't
you
start
your
own
business？”
one
of
his
uncles
told
him.
“The
world
is
a
money locker.
You'd
better
find
a
way
of
opening
it.”
“But
what
can
I
do？”
“Get
out
and
have
a
look
round，”
advised
his
uncle
in
a
vague
sort
of
way.
“See
what
people
want；then
give
it
to
them，and
they
will
pay
for
it.”
Boris
began
to
cycle
around
the
town
and
found
a
suitable
piece
of
a
waste
ground
in
the
end.
Then
he
set
up
his
business
as
a
cycle
repairer.
He
worked
hard，made
friends
with
his
customers
and
gradually
managed
to
build
up
his
goodwill
and
profit.
A
few
months
later，he
found
that
he
had
more
work
than
he
could
deal
with
by
himself.
He
found
a
number
of
empty
shops
but
they
were
all
no
good：in
the
wrong
position，too
expensive
or
with
some
other
snag(障碍)．But
at
long
last，he
managed
to
find
an
empty
shop
on
a
new
estate
where
there
were
plenty
of
customers
but
no
competition.
Boris
and
his
assistant
taught
themselves
how
to
repair
scooters
and
motor cycles.
Slowly
but
surely
the
profits
increased
and
the
business
developed.
At
last，Boris
had
managed
to
open
the
money locker
and
found
bank
notes
and
gold
coins
inside.
6．Which
of
the
following
would
be
the
BEST
title
for
the
passage？
A．Goodwill
is
the
key
to
success
B．The
world
is
a
money locker
C．No
education，no
future
D．Difficulty
of
starting
a
small
business
7．Which
of
the
following
best
describes
Boris'
job
hunting
experience？
A．Surprising
B．Encouraging
C．Boring
D．
Disappointing
8．Boris
starts
his
career
by
________.
A．cycling
around
the
town
B．developing
a
waste
ground
C．repairing
cycles
D．buying
empty
shops
9．Boris
finally
chose
an
empty
shop
on
a
new
estate
because________.
A．it
was
not
so
expensive

had
a
lot
of
old
customers
there
C．he
could
make
good
use
of
his
skills
there
D．there
were
good
opportunities
there

the
last
paragraph
that
Boris________.

couldn't
make
good
profits
B．set
off
in
a
successful
career

课时作业
Ⅰ.1.resigning　2.improvement　3.pocket sized　4.plugged　5.cycled　6.ridiculous　7.receipts　8.amateurs　9.self educated　10.tired
Ⅱ.1.B　hold
up举起，受阻；pull
through恢复健康；set
forth动身，阐明；pull
up停下，根据语境，B项符合句意。
2．C　考查词组辨析。put
on“穿上，上演”；put
down“放下，平定”；put
back“把……放回原处”；put
off“推迟，拖延”。根据句意应选C项。
3．A　表示计算，统计时用calculate，又因与主语之间是被动关系，故用was
calculated。
4．D　根据句意前面的“由于管理不善”可知，后面是“公司开张半年后倒闭了”，所以选D
5．B　句意：我要进城除了买东西之外还要看望我的老师。in
addition
to“除了……以外”，相当于besides。
6．D　take
off起飞；turn
off关掉；cut
off切断；show
off炫耀。句意：喜欢炫耀她们的孩子的母亲们总是谈论他们小孩取得的进步。
7．A　句意：众所周知，黑暗实际上是缺少光明。我们可以在阳光下学习，在黑暗中不可以。absence“缺少，缺席”。
8．D　从题干中because
he
was
offered
a
better
job可推知resigned(辞职)符合语境。regain重新获得；repeat重复；represent代表。
9．C　句意：每天晚饭后，如果不是因为工作后太疲劳，我都会花点时间出去遛狗。if
not
tired
from
work＝if
I
am
not
tired
from
work，从句中主语及be动词被省略了。
10．B　句意：这些产品很便宜，因为这一产业靠的是原料便宜。空格处的意思是“依靠，依赖”之意。应用rely
on。take
on呈现，具有；stand
on(对某事)持某种态度；take
off快速成功，移开，脱下。
11．A　考查定语从句。句意：他非常喜爱的新电脑频繁出故障。which用来指代the
new
computer并在从句中作宾语。
12．B　考查定语从句。句意：英国人对不同的文化和做事情的其他方式不太熟悉，别的国家也是这样。as在这里引导非限制性定语从句，as代指前面整个句子的内容，而且as在从句中作主语。
13．A　考查动词辨析。句意：去法国旅行的费用还没有准确计算出来，但是我确信费用可以限制到一万元。calculate计算，符合题意。consider考虑；complete结束；control控制。
14．C　考查形容词。ridiculous荒唐的，滑稽可笑的，符合题意。
15．A　句意：这位老人每天晚上都坐在电视机前，快乐地观看电视上播放的任何节目。happy是解答本题的关键词，adj.＋to
do
sth.表示“……地做某事”，happy
to
do
sth.意为“快乐地做某事”；空格部分很像伴随状语，所以很容易误选B项，但是修饰watching应用副词happily，而不是happy；C项watched与句子的主语是被动关系，不符合句意；to
have
watched表示发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。
Ⅲ.【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。
1．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。
2．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”。
3．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。
4．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。
5．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。
【语篇解读】　主人公Boris毕业后，在寻找工作的过程中屡屡受挫，失望之至，在叔叔的建议下，从修理自行车开始，逐渐走向了成功。
6．B　标题判断题。纵观全文可以看出，文章通过主人公求职屡遭拒绝，最后经过调整思路赚得第一桶金，然后把自己的生意越做越大，从而打开了世界这把锁钱的锁的故事，由此可知，B项最能概括全文。
7．D　推理判断题。第一段中描述了Boris求职接连失败的感受：Boris
grew
annoyed，then
depressed，then
a
little
hardened.，因此，四个选项中只有disappointing(失望的)，符合语境。
8．C　细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“Then
he
set
up
his
business
as
a
cycle
repairer.”可知答案。
9．D　推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“But
at
long
last，he
managed
to
find
an
empty
shop
on
a
new
estate
where
there
were
plenty
of
customers
but
no
competition.”可以看出，那里顾客较多、没有竞争，也就是说那里机会好，所以选D。
10．B　推理判断题。最后一段前半部分告诉我们他的生意越来越大，利润越来越可观，最后一句对此作了总结，由此可以看出，他的事业取得了成功。
