资源简介

A

 (2020·湖北八校第一次联考)

I always wanted to be extraordinarily good at something.I wanted to be the best in the class—awe­inspiring and tip­topa world­famous geniuslike Michael Phelps.

Unfortunatelymy version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision.I was a good swimmerbut I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level.My academic record was pretty solidbut I never would have made it into one of those Ivy League schools.

Though I rose to above­average status in a couple of areasthe disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything better than a mid­sized fish in a small pond.The destiny apparently had other plans.

What drove me crazythoughwas the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn.Some folks just seemed to get an unfair dose(一剂) of the talent.Why couldn't I be like Bernie Williamsthe famed New York Yankees player who also happened to be a world­class guitar virtuoso(艺术大师)?

Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time.It is around ten thousand hoursto be preciseaccording to author Malcolm Gladwell.I don't question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one's expertisebut it seems that the talent is equally important.

I've heard that as people approach middle agetheir life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations of themselves and the reality.After a few decades of frustration without the desired resultswe eventually come to terms with our life as it comes outeven if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations.

Hope bendsit seems.

语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者一直想成为最优秀的人,但是现实跟不上作者的期望;作者后来明白天赋和努力同样重要,人们最终会接受期望与现实的差距。

1What does the underlined word delusional in Para.2 most probably mean?

AImaginary.                                      BRealistic.

CDisappointing.                                 DMaterial.

A [考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句中的did not quite line up with和上一段的内容(作者对自己的期望)可知此处表示现实与作者对自己的期望并不完全一致。A项意为幻想的与画线词词义相近故选A项。]

2In the passagethe writer thinks of himself as________

Aa world­famous genius

Ba mid­sized fish in a small pond

Ca world­class virtuoso

Da student in an Ivy League school

B [考查细节理解。根据第三段的内容尤其是I would never amount to anything better than a mid­sized fish in a small pond可知作者把自己视为池塘中的一条中等大小的鱼。故选B项。]

3According to the writerwhat makes greatness”?

AExtraordinary efforts.

BTen thousand hours of practice.

CTalent and expertise.

DTalent and practice.

D [考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句和最后一句可知作者认为伟大来自大量的练习和天赋故选D项。]

4Which of the following might be the best title?

AHope Bends                                    BFrustrating Decades

CPractice Works                                DYouthful Expectations

A [考查标题判断。根据尾段Hope bendsit seems并结合文章其他内容可知本文主要讲述了期望与现实的差距——随着我们步入中年我们最终会接受自我理想化的期望与现实的差距A项最适合作文章标题。bend意为弯曲]
