只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 模拟演练（二） A There are many ways to fame.Whatever your own recipe(秘诀) is，if you want to make it really big，don’t follow anyone else’s footprints. 1 1．Do something unusual Celebrity(名人) is all about standing out from the crowd. 2 Charles Blondin started it all off 150 years ago.He walked a tightrope(钢丝) across the Niagara Falls to the American side，in front of over 10,000 breathless viewers.After his success， Blondin crossed the Falls many more times in a variety of ways：in chains，on a bicycle， and once，blindfolded. 2．Discover something The bad news is that there are no countries left to discover.The good news is that in the rainforests of Brazil，there are about three million unnamed types of beetles.One of them could be yours. 3 Though no one will enjoy hearing your name， you will be famous at least until someone comes along and discovers a cure. 3．Appear on reality TV 4 The growth of “reality TV” shows like Big Brother which star ordinary people， means that anyone can possibly become a star. 5 While the show is being broadcasted， you’re the biggest star on earth，but once it is over，your glamour disappears， and the life of being a nobody is waiting round the corner. A．What will make someone remember you? B．What really counts is to explore a unique path. C．Or discover a deadly disease and give it your name. D．They bring you fame at the speed of light，but it fades just as fast. E．Do something out of the ordinary and you’ll get your piece of fame. F．Try attending an event that addresses something you don’t know much about. G．There have never been more chances for “regular” people to become famous. 语篇解读 成名的方式有很多，本文为读者介绍了三种成名的方法。 1．答案 B 解析 根据空前的“don’t follow anyone else’s footprints”可知，不要追随别人的脚 印，所以设空处应建议寻找属于自己的独一无二的道路。B 项意为“真正重要的是要探索出 一条独一无二的道路。”符合语境，故选 B 项。 2．答案 E 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 解析 根据本段的标题 Do something unusual 可知，设空处应与“做一些不寻常的事情” 有关。E 项意为“做一些不寻常的事情，然后你就会成名的”，其中的 out of the ordinary 与标题中 unusual 意思相近。故选 E 项。 3．答案 C 解析 根据本段的标题 Discover something 可知，设空处应与“发现某些东西”有关，再 根据该段最后一句中的 cure 可知，设空处与疾病或治疗方法有关。C 项意为“或者发现某种 致命的疾病，并用自己的名字给它命名。”符合语境。故选 C 项。 4．答案 G 解析 根据空后的“The growth of ‘reality TV’ shows like Big Brother which star ordinary people，means that anyone can possibly become a star.”可知，真人秀节目 越来越多，这些节目让普通人变成明星成为可能。该句中的“The growth of ‘reality TV’ shows”和 ordinary 分别与 G 项中的 more chances 和 regular 表达的意义相近，故选 G 项。 5．答案 D 解析 根据空后提到的内容“当节目播出时，你名噪一时；但当节目结束时，你的名声也跟 着消失了。”可知，设空处应提及电视真人秀的优缺点。D 项“它们以光的速度给你带来名 声，却也让名声以光的速度消失。”符合语境，故选 D 项。 B History is a record of what has happened in the past. 6 The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again.It allows us to learn from the past，both the mistakes made and the successes achieved. One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome tremendous challenges in their life.These challenges，although particular to a person，or to a certain time in the past，or occurring in a different country or culture，all convey the same thing. 7 8 He encountered many failures while on the road to finally inventing the modern day light bulb.He could be held out as an example of a person who never gave up. 9 However，he did not let those failures stop him.He had a dream and he just kept trying different things until he did reach success. Or，consider the story of Abraham Lincoln who managed to become President of the United States even though he suffered many setbacks and personal losses.Most of us only realize the success of Mr.Lincoln becoming President. 10 His life was not an easy one.His story is one that motivates us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we have in life.

D．I am sure he was discouraged by his many failures. E．They convey wisdom in their short stories of perseverance. F．Few of us knew about the many challenges he had to overcome.

Early flights are on time Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day. 12 .Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delay；the best way to avoid it is to fly early. 13 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights.Some airlines work in association with their partner airlines.In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed you can ask for a seat in the partner airline，provided that your airline supports it. Join a club 14 .When your flight gets delayed for hours you can access those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the terminal.Also，accessing to different travel agents is easier from the clubs as they assist you with various options available. Consider a travel agent At times when you are stuck with situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled，instead of dealing directly with the airline staff，it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent. 15 . A．Remember to phone bravely B．Partner airlines can help C．A member of a club is the best choice for most flyers on the whole D．Flights get cancelled or delayed beyond what you have to deal with E．Though you would have to wake up very early，yet it would rid you of a lot of trouble F．Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues so you needn’t solve the issues yourself G．Joining a club will sure make you pay some money，but if you are a frequent flyer it is the best choice for you 语篇解读 本文属于教育类短文。给读者们提出解决因为冬天天气原因而延误航班的四条建 议。 11．答案 D 解析 根据空前的“The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans.”， 知横线句应该表示与之相关的内容，所以 D 项“Flights get cancelled or delayed beyond what you have to deal with”正是我们的旅行被打乱的例子。故 D 项符合上下文语境。 12．答案 E 解析 根据空前的“Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day.”可知，早晨的航班要比晚上的航班更准时。所以虽然早晨的航班 也有不方便的地方，但是可以帮助我们清除很多的麻烦。故 E 项符合上下文语境。 13．答案 B 解析 根据本段第一句“Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights.” 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 可知 Partner airlines 是应对航班延误的很好的办法。所以选 B 项。 14．答案 G 解析 本段的主题是 Join a club 也就是说参加一个飞行俱乐部也可以帮助你解决航班延误 的问题。选项中只有 G 项是与参加航空俱乐部有关的内容。故 G 项正确。 15．答案 F 解析 根据本段主题 Consider a travel agent 可知本段建议我们通过旅行社旅行，如果我 们的航班出现延误或被取消，那么我们可以通过旅行社与航空公司交涉。故 F 项“旅行社会 代表你和航空公司交涉并解决你的问题”符合语境。 D You can help your firm innovate(创新) by creating a culture in which all employees are actively encouraged to put forward ideas.But how do you get the best from people and encourage them to be at their most creative? Stress the importance of creativity. 16 If they don’t understand innovation can keep your firm competitive，your efforts at encouraging creative thinking risk falling flat. Make time for brainstorming.Find some time for new ideas to come out.For example， set aside time for brainstorming，hold regular group works hops(研讨会) and arrange team days out.A team involved in a brainstorming session is likely to be more effective. 17 You should also give individuals the space to reflect privately on their work if you think they need it. Challenge the way staff work. 18 Ask people whether they have considered alternative ways of working and what might be achieved by doing things differently. 19 Motivate individuals or teams who come up with winning ideas by actively recognizing creativity，for example through an award scheme.You can reward those who just have a rich flow of suggestions，regardless of whether they are put into action at work. Act on ideas.Creative thinking is only worthwhile if it results in action.Provide the time and resources to develop and carry out those ideas worth acting on. 20 In addition，the flow of ideas may well dry up if staff feel the process is pointless. A．Reward creativity. B．The problem is that our minds are lazy. C．Be willing to make mistakes. D．Make sure all your employees know that you want to hear their ideas. E．Individuals within the team can test and improve the ideas together. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 F．Encourage employees to keep looking at the way they approach their work. G．Failure to do so means that your firm may fail to benefit from innovation. 语篇解读 本文属于说明文。告诉我们创新的巨大作用，并提出了五点提高员工创新精神的 建议。 16．答案 D 解 析 空 后 的 一 句 “If they don’t understand innovation can keep your firm competitive”中的 they 指的是 D 项中的“your employees”，所以 D 项符合上下文语境。 17．答案 E 解析 空格前一句指出团队的努力会有更多的创造性成果。而空格后一句又讲了团队中的个 人需要自己的私人空间。E 项涉及的正是个人和团队在创新方面的联系，起到承上启下的作 用。故 E 项正确。 18．答案 F 解析 根据空前“Challenge the way”，空后一句中的“alternative ways”及 F 项中的 “looking at the way...”知 F 项正确。 19．答案 A 解析 根据本段最后一句中的“You can reward those who just have a rich flow of suggestions” 可 知 我 们 可 以 通 过 奖 励 创 新 者 来 鼓 励 员 工 创 新 。 故 A 项 “Reward creativity.”为本段中心思想。 20．答案 G 解析 根据空前一句“Provide the time and resources to develop and carry out those ideas worth acting on.”及空后一句“In addition，the flow of ideas may well dry up if staff feel the process is pointless.”可知，G 项“Failure to do so means that your firm may fail to benefit from innovation.”与上下文一致。
