能力升级训练第42页 A TrueHappiness
Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best,most genuine (真实的)version of themselves.Not on the outside—on the inside.It’s not about a brand or a 1 .It’s about reality:who you really are.
Sounds simple,I know.The problem is,it’s very hard to do,and it can take a lifetime to 2 it out.
3 worth doing in life is ever easy.And you’re going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some 4 that will scare you so much.But what’s the 5 of life if not finding yourself and trying to become the best?
That’s what Steve Jobs 6 when he said:Your time is 7 ,so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions 8 your own inner voice.You have to 9 something — your gut (直觉),fate,life,or 10 .This 11 has never let me down,and it has made all the difference in my life.
Now,let’s for a moment be 12 about this.Insightful as that advice may be,it sounds a little too 13 to resonate (共鸣)with today’s quick-fix culture.These days,if you can’t tell people exactly what to do and how to do it,it 14 deaf ears.
Not only that,but what Jobs was talking about,what I’m talking about,requires focus and discipline,two things that are very hard to 15 these days.Why?Because,focus and discipline are hard.It’s so much easier to 16 to distraction (分心).Easy and addictive.
When you choose one course of action,you miss out on all the other opportunities you might have chosen to 17 but didn’t.People 18 stop to consider that until it’s too late.
And yet,the opportunity for adventure is right there in front of each and every one of us.Until you take it,you’ll never know what you might 19 .All you have to do is to 20 the journey.So,take action!
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。真正快乐成功的人会有怎样强大的内心?在作者看来,答案其实很简单,那就是让自己成长为最好最真实的自己。只有了解真实的自己方能成就大事。努力发掘真实自我,就可以努力把自己经营成最好的自己。
1.A.personality B.quality C.talent
D.reputation
答案D 解析根据本段第一句和最后一句可知,真正快乐成功的人会长成最好最真实的自己——从内心而非外表上。不是品牌或名声,而是真实的自我。本空与句中的abrand与上一句中的outside对应,这些都是一些外在的东西。 2.A.put C.figure 答案C 解析根据上一句和本句中的“it’sveryhardtodo”可知,道理很简单,讲出来也很容易。但问题是,做起来就不简单了:这需要付诸很多努力,甚至一辈子才能真正明白。figureout“弄明白;想出;解决;计算出”;putout“扑灭;伸出;生产;出版”;leaveout“遗漏”;checkout“检查;离开(登记)”。 3.A.Everything
B.Anything B.leave D.check
C.Something D.Nothing 答案D 解析根据上文可知,穷尽毕生精力才能做到的事情必定不容易,这里用nothing强调“万事皆不易”。 4.A.rewards B.chances C.advantages 答案B 解析正因为“诸事皆不易”,所以成大事者必先苦其心志。因此,我们必须走出舒适区,去经历、去体验那些会让自己害怕的机会。takechance“冒险尝试”,强调行动的第一步。 5.A.aim C.effect 答案B 解析根据本句中的“tryingtobecomethebest”可知,在作者看来,一个人这一辈子,若到头来都认不清自己、未能长成最好最真实的自己,就没有什么意义。sense“意义”。 6.A.planned C.mentioned 答案B 解析本句冒号后的内容是乔布斯对第三段的内容的进一步解释,也是对“认清自己、长成最好的最真实的自己”的解释,所以用mean,意为“意味着”。 7.A.endless
B.abundant B.meant D.informed B.sense D.result D.responsibilities
C.random 答案D D.limited
解析根据句中的“don’twasteit”可知,在乔布斯看来,之所以不浪费时间是因为“时间是有限的”。limited“有限的”;endless“无边无尽的”;abundant“丰富的”;random“随心所欲的”。 8.A.drown out C.submit to 答案A 解析本句中的“Don’tletthenoiseofothers’opinions...”是乔布斯的看法,那就是时间有限,不要让别人的看法左右我们自己的思想,不要让周遭的言论淹没你内心的声音。drownout“(声音)淹没(另一声音);(洪水)使(人们)无家可归”;caterfor“迎合;提供饮食及服务”;submitto“向……呈交(递送)……;顺从(屈从,服从)……;使(自己)听命于”;danceto“跟着……摇摆”。 9.A.trust C.admire 答案A 解析根据上一句话中的“Don’tletthenoiseofothers’opinions...”可知,既然不要受到别人的影响,就要相信自己,所以用trust强调相信自己的判断。 10.A.however C.whenever 答案D 解析本句中的yourgut,fate,life只是句中的something所包含的一部分,即心怀信念包括相信你的直觉、命运、生活等等任何值得相信的东西。 11.A.truth C.imagination 答案B 解析对未来充满信念是一种态度,也是解决问题的方法之一,这个方法会一直给自己力量,促使自己过得和以前不同。
12.A.realistic C.energetic D.optimistic 答案A 解析本段是作者自己的看法。作者带领读者回到现实,realistic“现实的;实际的”。enthusiastic“热情
B.enthusiastic
B.approach D.action B.whichever D.whatever B.deny D.forget B.cater for D.dance to
的”;energetic“精力充沛的”;optimistic“乐观的”。 13.A.challenging C.fragile 答案A 解析根据上一句话和本句中的“Insightfulasthatadvicemaybe”可知,尽管建议或许很深刻,但听完却让人无从着手,难以运用到当今快节奏的文化中。challenging“有挑战性的”;dynamic“充满活力的,精力充沛的;不断变化的”;fragile“易碎的,脆的;虚弱的”;consistent“一致的;连续的;不矛盾的”。 14.A.turns out C.falls on 答案C 解析根据上文可知,建议操作起来有难度。而本句中的“can’ttellpeopleexactlywhattodoandhowtodoit”说明,现如今,如果一个建议讲不清具体做什么、该怎么做的话,那么说了也等于白说。fallondeafears“未受到重视,未被理睬,不被听取”。turnout“关掉;结果是”。bringabout“带来;造成”;involvein“卷入;涉及”。 15.A.come by C.look for 答案A 解析句意为“不仅如此,乔布斯过去所说的,也就是我现在说的都需要集中和自制——这两个品质在当今社会非常难得”。comeby“得到;从旁边走过”,强调这两个品质的难得。standby“支持;准备行动;信守诺言”;lookfor“寻找”;carefor“在意;喜欢”。 16.A.get down C.give rise 答案B 解析正是因为集中和自制都不容易做到,人们才很容易分散注意力、寻求即时快感——舒服且容易上瘾。giveinto“屈服于”,符合语境。getdownto“着手做”;giveriseto“引起”;payattentionto“注意”。 17.A.preserve C.pursue 答案C 解析在作者看来,当你选定某个行为时,你也会错过其他原本可以选择的机会。pursue“追求;继续”;preserve“保护;保存”;create“创造”;abandon“放弃”。 18.A.frequently
B.rarely B.create D.abandon B.give in D.pay attention B.stand by D.care for B.brings about D.involves in B.dynamic D.consistent
C.actively 答案B D.passively
解析根据本句中的considerthatuntilit’stoolate可知,很少有人能意识到自己无形中放弃了应该珍惜的机会,就算意识到也为时已晚。rarely“几乎不”;frequently“频繁地”;actively“积极地”;passively“被动地;顺从地”。 19.A.achieve C.believe 答案A 解析而且,冒险之门向每个人敞开。打开这扇门之前,谁也不知道能获得哪些收获。本句中的it代指上一句中的opportunity,表示即使你抓住了机会开始行动也未必知道最后的结果。achieve“取得;获得;成功”,与本句中的what形成动宾关系,即指“成功”。survive“幸存”;believe“相信”;relieve“缓解;解除”。 20.A.enjoy C.design 答案D 解析虽然前途未卜,而且也不知道自己会创造哪些奇迹,又将有什么新的发现,但是我们所要做的就是启程。这与下一句话中的takeaction吻合。
