只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。C．Braveanddetermined.D．Imaginativebuthalfhearted.答案　C解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知theDawnWall是一个巨大的挑战，但是Jorgeson和Caldwell却在没有专业装备的情况下攀登成功，这说明他们很勇敢。再根据第六段最后三句可知他经历了多次失败，但并没有气馁，经过10多天的尝试以后，最后取得成功。说明他意志坚定。故C项正确。Ⅱ.七选五HowtoSucceedinScienceTosucceedinscience，youneedalotmorethanluck.Inmyview，youhavetocombineintelligencewithawillingnessnottofollowconventionswhentheyblockyourpathforward.Thus，thesehavecometobemyrulesforsuccess.•5Thatmightsoundproud，butthefactisthatyoumustalwaysturntopeoplewhoarebrighterthanyourself.It’slikeplayinganygame.Evenasachild，IneverwantedtoplaygameswithanyonewhowasasbadasIwas.Ifyouwin，itgivesyounopleasure.Andinthegameofscienceorlife，thehighestgoalisn’tsimplytowin；it’stowinatsomethingreallydifficult.6•TakerisksTomakeahugesuccess，ascientisthastobepreparedtogetintodeeptrouble.Ifyouaregoingtomakeahugejumpinscience，youwillverylikelybeunqualifiedtosucceedbydefinition.7Thiscanbemorethanpersonallyupsetting.•Neverdoanythingthatboresyou.Myexperienceinscienceisthatsomeoneisalwaystellingyoutodothings，andthenleaveyoualone.I’mnotgoodenoughtodowellinsomethingIdislike.8It’sveryhardtosucceedifyoudon’twanttobewithotherscientists—youhavetogotokeymeetingswhereyouspotkeyfactsthatwouldhaveescapedyou.Andyouhavetochatwithyourcompetitors，evenifyoufindthemobjectionable.Somyfinalruleis：9A．Meetchallengeswithgreatcourage.B．Ifyoucan’tstandtobewithyourrealpeers，getoutofscience.C．Putanotherway，it’stogosomewherebeyondyourabilityandcomeoutontop.D．Besureyoualwayshavesomeonetosaveyoufromadeepmess.8 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。E．Avoidfoolishpeople.F．Infact，IfindithardtodowellinsomethingIlike.G．Besides，youevenhavetobepreparedtodisbelieveyourscientificheroes.语篇解读　本文属于说明文，主要介绍的是在科学研究方面如何取得成功的三个建议。5．答案　E解析　根据本段第一句可知我们要向比我们更聪明的人求助；再根据第三句即使在我小的时候，我也不愿意和同我一样糟糕的人玩耍。所以，要想成功，我们就要避开那些愚蠢的人。故E正确。6．答案　C解析　根据横线前一句知在科学中，最高的目标不是简单的获胜，而是战胜困难。也就是达到超越你本身能力的程度，达到人生的巅峰。所以C项是横线前一句的另外一个说法。故C项符合上下文串联。7．答案　G解析　根据横线前一句可知，如果你想在科学方面取得飞跃，你可能要不走寻常路。要有质疑精神，不要迷信以前的成功者。历史上很多成功者都是这样的。所以选G项“Besides，youevenhavetobepreparedtodisbelieveyourscientificheroes.”你甚至要准备好不相信心目中的英雄人物。G项还与横线后一句“Thiscanbemorethanpersonallyupsetting.”相一致。8．答案　F解析　根据横线前一句可知，作者并不喜欢做自己不喜欢的事情。但是要想把自己喜欢做的事情做好也不容易。所以F项“Infact，IfindithardtodowellinsomethingIlike.”正确。9．答案　B解析　根据前一段第一、二句可知，如果你不想和同伴一起努力，那么你就很难会成功。这和B项“Ifyoucan’tstandtobewithyourrealpeers，getoutofscience.”内容一致，文章最后两段形成了呼应。Ⅲ.完形填空IfirstgottoknowRosewhileworkinginahospitalkitchen.WhenIarrivedat6a．m.，Rosewasalreadythere.“Hi，I’mJanet.”Itriedtobe10，althoughIalreadyknewRosewashardtoworkwith.Rose11whatshewasdoingandlookedoverherreadingglasses.Icouldtellfromher12thatshewasn’tdelightedtoseeastudentworker.13，Istartedtowork.However，nothingIdid14her.Allmorninghereagleeyesmissed15andshewasverysharpwith8
