B [2015 •成都外國語學校高三月考] There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own idea of success to the ex?tent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactori?ly. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favourable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.
For some people,simply being able to live their life with the least misery and sufferings is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuc?cessful when judged by their own standards of success. Be?cause not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-con?fidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.
A wise man once said to a young man who was experien?cing frustration (挫折)with his own professional success, "You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in travelling. Sometimes one can be very suc?cessful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the sub?way downtown. " The man added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been un?successful at something you really like,and to which you have given your best effort."
5.According to the first paragraph, what is implied as basic in achieving success?
A. Ability and goals.
B. Goals and determination.
C. Ability and environment.
D. Goals and environment.
6. Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________ .
A. their life is busy and miserable
B. they haven't reached their own standards
C. they set their goals at too low a level
D. they are not rich in material possessions
7. From the last paragraph we can tell that_______________ .
A. success means achieving great goals
B. success comes from great goal setting
C. success means efforts and favourites pay off
D. success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel
8.The purpose of the passage is___________ .
A. to give us a clear definition of what success is
B. to talk about how to achieve success
C. to state what our life goal is
D. to discuss the importance of goals
B [文章大意]本文是一篇議論文,作者從不同的角度定義了成功。
5.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的最后一句可知,因為我們每個人擁有的遺傳的能力和有利的環(huán)境不同,所以我們對成功的定義很寬泛。由此可以推斷,作者認為能力和環(huán)境是取得成功的基本條件。故選C項。
6.B細節(jié)理解題。文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句指出,有的人已經(jīng)很富有了卻認為自己不成功,這是因為他們是根據(jù)自己的目標判斷成功與否的,故選B項。
7.C推理判斷題。由文章最后一句可推知C項正確。
8.A主旨大意題。這篇文章主要談的是成功的定義,文章第一句就是全文的主題句,每個人對成功的定義不同。接下來的幾段也都是從不同的角度定義成功的。故選A項。

Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of suc?cess. 9 With that in mind, here are some suggestions that will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:10
If there's any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: "Something wonderful is going to happen today. ,, Guess what? You're probably right.
Take time to plan and prioritize(優(yōu)先處理).
The most common source of stress is the thought that you've got too much work to do. Rather than worry about it, pick one thing that will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.
Eat high quality food slowly.
11 Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Taste it, focus on it and enjoy it. Let go of your results.
The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action, there's usually nothing more you can do. 12
End each day with gratitude.
Just before you go to bed, write down at least one won?derful thing that happened. It might be something as small as making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. 13
A. Start each day with expectations.
B. Give a gift to everyone you meet.
C. Think about the thing that makes your head hurt.
D. It's impossible to make others happy if you're not happy.
E. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
F. Sometimes we can't avoid eating something quickly and running.
G. Focus on the job at hand rather than some fantasy that might happen.

There are distinctions between reading for informa?tion and reading for understanding. 9
The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 10 Such ma?terials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read some?thing that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding.
11 Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more, not remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. 12 Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, suc?cess of communication is achieved.
13 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or informa?tion can probably be read for entertainment as well.
A. Thus, we can employ the word "reading" in two distinct senses.
B. Such communication between the unequals must be possible.
C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.
D. The writer must be "superior" to the reader in un?derstanding.
E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.
F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading―entertainment.
G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

Some say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we can't go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guide?lines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.
EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY
As soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.
BE RESPONSIBLE
There are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you can't, own up to it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isn't just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For ex?ample, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you aren't reeling from the consequences later.
TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY
Incredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Don't let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.
FIND AND BE A MENTOR
Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a men?tor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.
GET THE JOB DONE
It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, and it will make more sense to you when you go to find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Ri-os, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, "No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable it feels now, multiply that by 10, 000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.,,
5. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is .
A. taking part in different activities
B. working hard to get a degree
C. seizing every chance to try new things
D. improving themselves by learning from the oth?ers
6. Which of the following about college life is TRUE?
A. Passing on what you've learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.
B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.
C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.
D. You can make full use of the opportunity when?ever you want.
7. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?
A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet
with difficulties in your learning process.
B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.
C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.
D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.
8. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To give some rules for the college students.
B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.
C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.
D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.
