第二部分 阅读理解（共两节,满分40分）
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that,_in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
21．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.
A．the importance of success B．the meaning of success
C．the standards of success D．the reasons for success
22．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to________.
A．being good at something B．putting in more time
C．setting a practical goal D．succeeding in life
23．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because________.
A．work makes one feel pain B．it takes a lot of time to succeed
C．one gives up his work easily D．one tends to enjoy his work
24．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B．Successful people like to show their great skills.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
B

The mother octopus lays about 50,000 eggs.For about 300 days，she stays with the eggs，cleans them and protects them.She does not leave to feed.However，this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched(孵化)．
Crocodiles
A crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies.She starts by building a nest(巢)，which she guards for over two months！When the eggs are ready to hatch，the young crocodiles call out to their mother，who digs them out and helps them hatch.She then carries them in her mouth down to the water，where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.
Bats
Bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave，giving birth.Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below，she puts it in a pouch(育儿袋)．Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days.As the little bats get bigger and heavier，moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them.It continues for about three weeks，until the babies are grownup and able to fly on their own.
Koalas(考拉)
The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy(怀孕期) of only 35 days.The hairless baby climbs into its mother's pouch and lives there for another five months.When the little koala is between five and eight months old，it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety.Once it is too big to return to the pouch，it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
☆Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 36
☆Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. 37 For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
☆Always carry a book. 38 When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and pretty much everywhere I go.
☆ 39 Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Do not lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There should be no television or computer near the chair, and no music or noisy family members or roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
☆Reduce television or the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 40 Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet or TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
A. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love.
B. It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
C. Find a quiet place.
D. Go to bookstores.
E. Wherever you go, take a book with you.
F. This may be difficult for some people.
G. Have some good tea or coffee while you read.
