Question

【題目】Three simple keys to success

Being successful means different things to different people. 【1】 My point is, the specifics involved in finding success can vary greatly, depending on your goal.

There are three basic components necessary for finding success, regardless of the specifics of your pursuit. And, since the desire for ownership is the driving force behind acquisition, I’ll use the word OWN as my simple three-item method for success.

1.O-Opportunity: one of the most important components in finding success is being able to identify opportunity. It is to success what wind is to sailing. 【2】 Identifying opportunity is the first step; awareness sets your sails for success while your motivation provides the wind.

2.W-Wisdom: By definition, wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. 【3】 It requires clear understanding, great insight and good judgment. Once opportunity is identified, you must use all your inner resources to seize it and make the most of it. 【4】 Finding success when opportunity presents itself often means reaching out for help in areas where you have weakness.

3.N-Never give up: This might possibly be the most important for success. The key is to first break your goal down into workable parts so you don’t feel pressured, and then to work each part at ease with both enthusiasm and purpose. It takes a lot of time, effort and determination to succeed. 【5】

A.Being successful demands doing well.

B.But wisdom involves more than just knowing.

C.You simply can’t have one without the other.

D.Having this attitude keeps you moving in face of trouble and becomes the driving force.

E.Besides, wisdom means knowing your limitations.

F.You’ll finally succeed if you follow these steps.

G.The road to success is being largely determined by what result you want to achieve.

【解析】

本文為議論文。文章主要介紹了成功的三個關鍵：發(fā)現(xiàn)機會、有智慧和永不放棄的態(tài)度。

【1】

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前的“對不同的人來說，成功意味著不同的東西”，結合空后的“我認為目標不同，通往成功的具體道路不同”�？芍�，成功的道路取決于你不同的目標，即你想取得什么樣的結果。分析選項可知，G項The road to success is being largely determined by what result you want to achieve.（通往成功的道路很大程度上取決于你想取得什么樣的結果）符合題意，故選G。

【2】

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段的主旨為“one of the most important components in finding success is being able to identify opportunity（獲得成功最重要的因素之一是能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)機會”。結合空前的 It is to success what wind is to sailing.（機會對于成功猶如風對于航行），可知，沒有了風就不能航行，沒有機會就不可能成功。分析選項可知，可知C項You simply can’t have one without the other（你沒有這個就沒有另一個）符合題意，故選C。

【3】

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“W-Wisdom: By definition, wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge（智慧是對知識的準確運用）” 本段敘述智慧（wisdom）的定義和理解。前半部分敘述的是智慧與知識的關系。即智慧不僅僅是知識，而是知識的準確運用。分析選項可知， B項But wisdom involves more than just knowing（但是智慧不僅僅是知識）符合題意，故選B。

【4】

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段主要敘述智慧的定義。智慧是對知識的準確運用，但智慧不只是知識，智慧還意味著你了解你自己的局限性。因為你了解你的局限性即（不足），才能在你不足的地方尋求他人的幫助，才會成功�？崭窈蟮�“Finding success when opportunity presents itself often means reaching out for help in areas where you have weakness（當機會出現(xiàn)時，想成功通常意味著在你有弱點的地方尋求幫助。）”分析選項，可知E項Besides, wisdom means knowing your limitations. （此外，智慧意味著知道你的局限性）符合題意，故選E。

【5】

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段的第一句是主旨句“N-Never give up: This might possibly be the most important for success（永不放棄可能是成功最重要的因素。）”，這是一種態(tài)度。分析剩下的選項可知，D項Having this attitude keeps you moving in face of trouble and becomes the driving force（保持這種態(tài)度使你在面對困難時保持前進，并成為動力）就是一種態(tài)度。把D項放入句中，與本段的主旨是一致的，故選D。
