天津市寧河縣2014高考英語閱讀理解訓練（4）及答案（解析）閱讀理解success does not belong to a select group of individuals; success belongs to those who are willing to go after it. success belongs to those who are willing to look fear in the face, eyeball to eyeball, and then do what they have to do. success belongs to those who realize that there is something more important than their fear.“desire is the key to motivation.” desire is the longing to achieve a vision; without desire you have nothing. if youve lost your vision, or if your desire is not strong, work to clarify your vision, use pictures, write the vision down. habakkuk said, “write the vision, and make it plain, ” before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, it must be clear, it must be exciting.“seventy percent of success in life is showing up.” you cant get your dream job, if youre scared to turn in an application. you wont get the sale, if you dont try. showing up doesnt guarantee success, but rest assured if you dont show up, you wont succeed. when it comes to your dreams, and the things you desire to achieve in this life, you have to show up.thomas j. watson said, “would you like me to give you a formula（公式）for success? its quite simple, really. double your rate of failure. you are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. but it isnt at all. you can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. make all you can. because remember thats where you will find success.” never fear failure, it is failure that will bring you success. embrace failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.success is not about doing what the average person cant do, its about doing what the average person is unwilling to do. and on a deeper level, its about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to create. its the habit of doing things with excellence that cause success. success is the enjoyment of the journey. you have to enjoy the journey!someone once said, “unless you change how you are, you will always have what youve got.” you have to changeyou will change, you will succeed.11. if you want to succeed, you should _.a. make efforts to achieve itb. be a special personc. face it with feard. do everything important12. whats habakkuks opinion?a. we should make our aims common.b. we should set up a clear target.c. we should have motivation.d. desire is the key to motivation. 13. the main idea of the third paragraph is that _. a. success needs showing upb. 70% of people can succeedc. you should show your hoped. you should fight for success14. thomas j. watson encourages us to _.a. retire from failure b. escape from failurec. make double mistakesd. grow from failure15. which is the best title of the passage?

are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? if so, the future may hold more for you than you think.high technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. thats happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.but, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. high technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations-often thousands of miles apart-can work on the same project at once. they can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.examples? an engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. an architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. a medical team can simulate (模擬) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.of course, computerassisted team effort doesnt end with investigation and simulation. it now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “computeraided design (cad) and computeraided manufacture (cam) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains dr. prakash rao, an engineering manager at general electric. “interdisciplinary teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. everything is interconnected like a network.”sometimes a computeraided effort can extend beyond production. a team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. for hightechnology team work, the future seems limitless.66. the underlined part “hold more” most probably means to .a. maintain more chances b. give more rights c. make more regulations d. store more information67. according to the passage, the writer believes that .a. teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beingsb. teamwork will be completely replaced by computersc. the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the pastd. high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past68 the examples given by the writer in paragraph 4 serve .a. to prove high technology has a promising fut
