You see, it’s this summer heat. I just hate it. It just makes me tired.

Then she would say the same thing she had said at least a thousand times, it seemed to me. “Jane, did you hear what so-and-so complained about?” And I would nod. Grandmother would continue, “Jane, there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night, poor and rich and black and white, but they will never wake again. Those dead people would give anything, anything at all for just five minutes of this weather that person was complaining about. So you watch yourself about complaining, Jane.

Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.‎ First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can’t control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.‎ Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose” --- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.‎ Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.‎ ‎63. The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “______”.‎ A. interest B. equip C. depend D. inspire ‎64. Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?‎ A. Taking responsibility for their life. B. Never giving up easily.‎ C. Having a goal in life. D. Controlling things in life.‎ ‎65. According to the passage, to be successful, ______.‎ A. you should set up a realistic goal ‎ B. you should know your strengths and weaknesses C. you shouldn’t blame others for your failure ‎ D. you shouldn’t waste time ‎66. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ______.‎ A. explain the exact meaning of success ‎ B. share the key to success with readers C. tell his experience of achieving success ‎ D. encourage readers to learn from failure D Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1837, the son of a weaver. In 1848, the family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began work in a cotton mill, earning $1.5 per week. About three years later, he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy. At work, his superiors（上级）were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard. In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This was his first big break. He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company, gaining more and more responsibility. At the same time, Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library. He read widely on all subjects, particularly literature.‎ Carnegie now began to save a little money and, with the help of his employer, began to make some successful investments. He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself, owning several iron and steel plants. This was where he made his fortune. By the 1890s, the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most profitable business in the world.‎ Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit（追求）of wealth was never an end in itself. In his view, successful, wealthy people should re-distribute their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society. True to his word, in 1901, at the age of 66, he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.‎ Carnegie’s lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didn’t put barriers in the way of success. His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard, his intelligence and good business sense, and his talent for making things happen. He died in 1919 at the age of 83.‎ ‎67. What can be learnt from the text?‎ A. Carnegie’s employers at the railroad company had a high opinion of him.‎ B. Carnegie made the investments independently after saving enough money.‎ C. Carnegie believed that we should try to earn as much money as possible in our life.‎ D. Carnegie could have been more successful if he had been formally educated.‎ ‎68. What does “gaining more and more responsibility” in the second paragraph most probably mean?‎ A. Becoming more and more intelligent. B. Being promoted to higher ranks.‎ C. Having a better sense of confidence. D. Reading more and more books.‎ ‎69. When did Carnegie get his first big success in his life?‎ A. When he took a job as a telegraph messenger boy.‎ B. When he worked at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.‎ C. When he made investments in the iron industry.‎ D. When he founded the Carnegie Steel Company.‎ ‎70. Which of the followings will be the suitable title for the text?‎ A. Andrew Carnegie: A Wealthy Man B. Steel & Iron: The Most Profitable Business C. From Rags to Riches: The Story of Andrew Carnegie D. Intelligence and Good Business Sense: Tow Factors in Becoming Wealthy 第II卷（共35分）‎ 第一节 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ One of the most important rules is never to compromise(妥协) on the things you ask for or desire or it will badly affect your life and peace of mind. Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job. They might be something about monetary compensation or you might find they have something to do with time off. Whatever they are, make sure that you do not accept a job without them. Your requirements might not be easy to meet, but you have the right to try and ‎ achieve them.‎ ‎ What’s more, don’t shy away from odd (临时的)jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in. Sometimes, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of effort. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking the chance is a very important thing that you might want to seriously consider. As long as you keep your goals in mind , you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search.‎ If you are looking for the right job, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, encourage yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have. Make sure that you can show your skills and abilities. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging , set goals for yourself and work hard at them. The more efforts you put in marketing yourself, the more your chances of obtaining the job you like will be.‎ Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not short-change yourself. This is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals.‎ Title What to avoid during your job search Brief introduction Satisfying jobs are fewer than you 71 ‎ When hunting for a job, there are some related things that need your 72 ‎ Important ‎73 ‎ Remembering your expectations Don’t compromise on your requirements or it will have a(n) 74 effect on your life.‎ Although your requirements are 75 to meet, you should try hard.‎ Taking the chance Take some odd jobs and this might help you 76 your goal finally.‎ When something unexpected happens, taking the chance is a very 77 thing that you should consider seriously.‎ Marketing yourself Positively look at all that you have and 78 yourself Show your skills and abilities If the job that you want is a(n) 79 , set your goals and work ‎ hard.‎ Conclusion Don’t short-change yourself because 80 goals may harm you.‎ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）‎ 根据以上的内容用英语写一篇短文，注意：1、不要简单翻译要点，可以有适当发挥。2、词数：150左右。3、短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数。‎ Recently I have conducted a survey on whether girls should lose weight among my classmates.‎ ‎ ‎ 高二英语参考答案 ‎ 完形填空 ‎ ‎36-40DABCB 41-45 CABAD 46-50 ABDCB 51-55 DACCD 阅读理解 ‎56—59 ACBA 60—62 DBC 63—66 DDCB 67-70 ABBC 任务型阅读 ‎71. expect 72. attention 73. rules 74. bad 75. hard/difficult ‎76. achieve/reach 77. important 78. encourage 79. challenge 80. low ‎ ‎ ‎
