Question

【題目】 Have you ever heard that “Success is a journey, not a destination（終點）"? As a man aged 30, I believe it's true. It is, in fact, my law of life. In my eyes, what matters is not necessarily where you are in the end, but what you achieve while you are trying along the way. It means that no matter what it is, as long as you try, you can never fail. It means you can learn from your mistakes and continue on the next journey a little more wisely.

I think St. Louis Rams, a professional American football team in Missouri, as a whole shared my law of life. They played every game with their full potential（潛能）instead of letting a few winning games got to their heads. They had the goal of playing in every Super Bowl, a football game played in the US each year on the first Sunday in February. Even though they lost some games, they didn't give up.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to be on top in the end, or to win the game. What matters is that you worked hard the whole time. You should understand that success is a non-ending journey. Everyone should realize that someone will win and someone will lose. But what's important is that both sides need to try their best. After all, it's not who wins or loses, but how well you play the game and you should remember this in your own life.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文。作者論述了自己的生活準則——成功不是終點，而是一段旅程。該篇文章為總分總式結構，即開篇提出成功不是終點這一觀點，然后通過例證來證明這一觀點，最后再一次陳述該觀點。

【1】主旨大意題。作者在第一段首先指出了自己的生活準則“Success is a journey, not a destination”，之后對其進行了具體的闡述，因此第一段主要介紹了作者對自己生活準則的一些理解。故選C。

【2】詞句猜測題。根據第二段劃線句的前半句可知他們全力以赴地對待每一場比賽，再由 instead of可知后半句與前半句語義相反，所以后半句是指:讓幾次勝利沖昏頭腦。故選D。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段第二句“They played every game with their full potential instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads”可知，St. Louis Rams對待每場比賽都是認真的。故選B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中的“what matters is that you worked hard the whole time; both sides need to try their best; how well you play the game”可知，從最后一段中我們知道無論做什么，我們都應竭盡全力。故選A。

【5】最佳標題。作者在文章首句即提出“成功不是終點”在第二段又用具體事例論述了作者欣賞的一種拼搏精神，最后告訴讀者勝負輸贏不重要，重要的是否是全力以赴。全篇都在圍繞“成功不是結局”而展開，因此D項作標題最為合適。故選D。
