Question

8．Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant．I made an interesting discovery．This difference may at first look obvious，but it's quite opposite．（36）C  
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions．If they don't，they wouldn't take action!（37）GWhen they take action，at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them．
  （38）D   What's the purpose behind your actions？Do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive？Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle？
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences．People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive．They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things．They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater．I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once．That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things．（39）F   Therefore，you cannot achieve anything great．
Now there are some people who don't accept the"Life is hard"story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose．They work to thrive．（40）A  They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality．

A．And they don't think about why something cannot be done．
B．Such attitude invites great opportunities to you．
C．It lies in what motivates people to take action．
D．So let me ask you a few questions．
E．And this makes you take even more or better quality actions．
F．This state does not allow you to be creative
G．But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take．

Answer 1

分析 本文中作者告訴我們每個人行動背后都有一個目標(biāo)．但成功人士在他們行動背后有一個完全不同的目標(biāo)，他們始終想著如何通過行動來實現(xiàn)這個目標(biāo)，在他們生活中他們認(rèn)為沒有什么是艱難的，他們?yōu)槌晒Χ�采取行動，并且有美好的愿望，所以他們會成功�?/p>

解答 36．C 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．聯(lián)系上句This difference may at first look obvious，but it's quite opposite．這個不同點起初看起來很明顯，但是它是相反的，以及下段第一句Everyone has a purpose behind their actions．每個人行動背后都有一個目標(biāo)，可知選項C．它取決于是什么激勵人們?nèi)ゲ扇⌒袆�，符合語境，能夠承接上下文，故選C．
37．G 考查上下文聯(lián)系．Everyone has a purpose behind their actions．每個人行動背后都有一個目標(biāo)，以及下句當(dāng)他采取行動的時候，他們想的是這個行動給他們帶來的成功．可知選項G．但是成功人士在他們行動背后有一個完全不同的目標(biāo)，符合語境，能夠承接上下文，故選G．
38．D 考查上下文聯(lián)系．What's the purpose behind your actions？Do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive？Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle？都是作者提問的問題，可知D說"所以讓我問你幾個問題"符合語境，能夠承接下文，故選D．
39．F 信息提取題．上句That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things．可知選F．This state does not allow you to be creative．"state"是提示詞．
40．A考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力．聯(lián)系上文有些人不相信生活是艱難的，他們?yōu)槌晒Χ�工作，以及下文他們有一個美麗的愿望并且不斷采取行動來實現(xiàn)這個愿望，可知選項A．他們不考慮為什么事情不能做，符合語境，能夠承接上下文，故選A．

點評 "七選五"這樣的題型，主要目的在于"考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握．解題時最主要的兩個步驟就是1．理清文章的邏輯和結(jié)構(gòu)，2．在所給的原文中找出關(guān)鍵詞或者說是線索詞．文章的整體思路能幫助你在答案中篩選出符合邏輯的選項，關(guān)鍵詞則能幫助你確定更多的細(xì)節(jié)，排除相近的選項．這些技巧多練練就能孰能生巧．
