44、nt，and circumstances dont come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and thats 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 additi
45、on 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，itll require even more time，time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.

52、都渴望成功，成功有时或许和天赋、运气和家境有关，但是缺少了长期辛勤的付出，成功就会成为无稽之谈。31A 段落大意题。这一部分向我们分析了一个人成功的因素：luck, talent, and circumstances。32B 代词指代题。上一句说的是要想成功需要做的第一个方面：“set a goalmake it more practical”。由此可知答案。33D细节理解题。题干关键词为：Successful people suggest(对应文章中的advise)。第三段的第一句话 “This is a big reason why many successful people advis
53、e you to do something you love.”中的this，就是指的上文的“To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.”由此可知答案。34B推理判断题。在这一段里作者告诉我们：Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，但接着又说：but thinking that way does you no good。由此可以看出，有时候人的成功是靠运气和天赋的，但是如果我们这样认为对我们是没有好处的。由此可推知答案。35C主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章首先向我们分析了成功的因素，怎样才能成功，同时也剖析了对成功的一些错误的认识，最后一段总结全文，概括了主题，告诉我们成功需要日复一日(work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time)的努力和辛勤的工作(hard work)。由此可知答案。- 10 - 版权所有高考资源网
