Ⅰ.阅读理解 [A　话题：自我修养，成功关键] I started out in life with few advantages.I did not graduate from high school.I worked at menial(不体面的) jobs.I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future. And then I began asking, “Why are some people more successful than others？” This question changed my life. Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement.It seems that the reasons for these accomplishments have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every possible way.One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self­discipline.As AI Tomsik summarized it years ago, “Success is tons of discipline.” Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington.It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair.The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit.With plenty of room at my table, I immediately arose and invited the older gentleman to join me.He was hesitant, but I insisted.Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch. It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer.As it happened, I immediately knew who he was.He was a legend in the field of success and achievement.Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study.I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once. After we had chatted for a while, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, “Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important？” He smiled at me with a twinkle in his eye, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating，“The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, ‘Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.’” He went on to say, “There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self­discipline, none of them work.” 1．Why did the writer ask the question in Paragraph 2 ? A．Because he wasn't satisfied with himself. B．Because he was a person of self­discipline. C．Because he dislike those successful people. D．Because he wanted to share his idea on success. 2．What made the writer invite the older gentleman to join him? A．His great kindness. B．The gentleman's fame. C．His eagerness for success. D．The gentleman's good manners. 3．What are the four large books about? A．Personal changes. B．The secret of success. C．Sayings of wisdom. D．The gentleman's legend. 4．What's the best title for the text? A．The Magic of Reading B．An Unexpected Conversation C．A Question that Changed My Life D．The Power of Self­discipline [语篇解读]　这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己的亲身经历说明了自我修养的力量。 1．A　[细节理解题。答案定位在第一段“I started out in life with few advantages.I did not graduate from high school.I worked at menial(不体面的) jobs.I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.”可知，在第二自然段，作者问这个问题是因为他对自己不满意。] 2．A　[推理判断题。答案定位在第四段“With plenty of room at my table, I immediately arose and invited the older gentleman to join me.He was hesitant, but I insisted.(由于我的桌子上有足够的空间，我立刻起身邀请那位年长的先生加入我的行列。他犹豫了，但我坚持。)”由此推断出是作者的善良邀请这位老绅士加入他。] 3．B　[细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第四段“Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study.”可知，这四本书是关于成功的秘密的。] 4．D　[主旨大意题。最后一段“He went on to say，‘There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self­discipline, none of them work.’”是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了自我修养的力量。] [B　话题：蒙古德比，年长赢家] Competing in the Mongol Derby Standing at the finishing line, 70­year­old Bob Long spent a while reflecting on the achievement he'd just made.Behind him was the wild, endless Mongolian grassland extending into the distance.This American had just become the oldest person to ever complete and win the Mongol Derby, the world's longest horse race. Long, a rider all his life, entered the race after being inspired by All the Wild Horses, a movie based on the exhausting event. Fearing that he wouldn't be able to complete it, he set about preparing his mind and body for this “hardest, toughest, most demanding thing you can do on a horse”， an annual 1,000­kilometer race that was recognized as the world's longest horse race by The Guinness Book of Records in 2011.He confirmed his belief that preparation can surpass (超过；胜过) youth, as some of the other riders were less prepared. Although Long had been riding horses for many years, the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely on his own will.The race organizers had provided an extensive support network to keep an eye on the participants from afar.Despite that, the physical pressure of riding such a long distance made simple things like squatting (蹲) down at the end of the day almost impossible. Along the vast race course there were unpredictable circumstances beyond Long's control, however well prepared he'd been.Weather was one of them, which could switch from heavy rain to burning sun unexpectedly. Above all else, the biggest obstacle was the state of mind.Without a living soul in sight, Long was desperate for interaction, guidance, and comfort.This feeling of loneliness accounted for his hope that one of his fellow competitors would catch up. Regardless of the hardship, Long felt a sort of spiritual adventure while traveling through the wilderness.He was provided with some memorable moments while connecting with nature.He also grew to love the country and the communities along the route. Still holding the passion for riding, Long never dismisses the idea of competing in another Mongol Derby. 5．What distinguished Bob Long from other competitors in the Mongol Derby? A．He rode the whole race course alone. B．He completed the toughest part of the course. C．He was the oldest participant of the horse race. D．He was most likely to enter the competition again. 6．What played a decisive part in Long's achievement? A．His strong willpower. B．His thorough preparation. C．His passion for nature. D．An extensive support provided by the organizers. 7．What was the biggest challenge that Long faced during the race? A．The changeable weather. B．The psychological condition in the course. C．The difficulty in finding the competitors. D．The physical demand of riding a long distance. 8．What is the text mainly about? A．An introduction to the Mongol Derby. B．A review of a film based on the longest horse race. C．The experience of the Mongol Derby's oldest winner. D．The preparations before a long and difficult horse race. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一位70岁的美国老人完成世界上最长的赛马比赛，成为有史以来赢得蒙古德比的最年长的人。讲述了他参加德比的经验。 5．C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“This American had just become the oldest person to ever complete and win the Mongol Derby, the world's longest horse race.(这位美国人刚刚成为有史以来完成并赢得蒙古德比的最年长的人，这是世界上最长的赛马比赛。)”可知，与其他参赛选手相比，Long是赛马比赛中最年长的参赛选手。] 6．A　[细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although Long had been riding horses for many years, the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely on his own will.”可知，在比赛中，任务的艰辛和不确定性需要Long完全依靠自己的意志。由此可知，在Long取得的成就中，他自己强大的意志起到决定性作用。] 7．B　[细节理解题。根据第六段“Above all else, the biggest obstacle was the state of mind...fellow competitors would catch up.(最重要的是，最大的障碍是心态。在看不到活人的情况下，Long迫切需要互动、指导和安慰。这种孤独感使他希望有一个竞争对手能赶上来。)”可知，Long在比赛中，心态是他最大的障碍和最大的挑战。] 8．C　[主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“Standing at the finishing line, 70­year­old Bob Long..., the world's longest horse race.”及第三段“Fearing that he wouldn't be able to complete it, he...the other riders were less prepared.”可知，文章主要讲述一位70岁的美国老人完成世界上最长的赛马比赛，并成为有史以来赢得蒙古德比的最年长的人。C项“蒙古德比最年长赢家的经历”可以概括本文主要内容。] Ⅱ.七选五 [话题：克服懒惰，几点方法] How Can I Fight Laziness? Lazy people will never gain anything in life.However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 　　__1__　Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.　　__2__　 Some people fight laziness removing the temptations that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.　　__3__　Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not deal with immediately.　　__4__　 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 　　__5__　 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. A．To fight family laziness, set an example. B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important. C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
