20.Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few players who were truly great.How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice,or are great players born,not made?
First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate(模仿).In the history of soccer,only seven countries have ever won the World Cup.There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.
Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game.Pele,who is often named as the greatest soccer of all time,was the son of a soccer player.He began to play soccer with his father when he was only three.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood-a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer(藝人).For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beatles,had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a"ball"made of rags(破布).And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall(對著墻壁踢球)in the slums(貧民窟)of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great.Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

60.According to the writer,which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.Great soccer players are born,not made.
B.Truly great players are rare.
C.Only two countries have ever had famous soccer stars.
D.Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.
61.Pele is cited as an example in the third paragraph to illustrate thatD.
A.great players come from places that have had famous stars in the past
B.many great soccer players come from poor areas
C.great players are all born with some unique physical quality
D.many great players start playing football at an early age.
62.The author owes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPTD.
A.family background
B.neighborhood
C.practice
D.height
63.In the last paragraph,why the author says that only one out of hundreds of boys became Pele?B
A.Because they are all from North America.
B.Because most of the boys lack some unique quality.
C.Because all great players have a lot in common.
D.Because boys of this time are born in rich neighborhood.

分析 作者在本文中告訴我們偉大的足球運(yùn)動員出現(xiàn)的三個(gè)因素:家庭背景、生活環(huán)境以及刻苦訓(xùn)練.

解答 60.B,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.可以推測,真正偉大的運(yùn)動員是很少的,故答案為B.
61.D,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子He began to play soccer with his father when he was only three.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.可知,在第三段提到Pele是為了說明很多運(yùn)動員在很小的時(shí)候就開始訓(xùn)練,故答案為D.
62.D,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章中提到First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past、Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game和Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood可知,一個(gè)足球運(yùn)動員的成功不在于身高,故答案為D.
63.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.可知,眾多人中只有一個(gè)能成為Pele是因?yàn)槌蔀樽闱蜻\(yùn)動員是需要有獨(dú)特的品質(zhì)的,故答案為B.

8.Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant.I made an interesting discovery.This difference may at first look obvious,but it's quite opposite.(36)C  
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.If they don't,they wouldn't take action!(37)GWhen they take action,at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
  (38)D   What's the purpose behind your actions?Do you work to thrive(成功)or to survive?Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences.People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive.They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things.They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater.I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once.That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.(39)F   Therefore,you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don't accept the"Life is hard"story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose.They work to thrive.(40)A  They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.

A.And they don't think about why something cannot be done.
B.Such attitude invites great opportunities to you.
C.It lies in what motivates people to take action.
D.So let me ask you a few questions.
E.And this makes you take even more or better quality actions.
F.This state does not allow you to be creative
G.But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take.

12.Early in 2003 Fred Evans fell and got seriously injured.It is not unusual for a man of 88.The next day he had an operation and had to stay in hospital for some time.The doctor said hopes for a complete recovery for a man of his age and situation are"none".
My first conversation with Dad was a few days after his operation.
"A bit of pain,Son,"he told me,"but I'll be okay."
"I will go home to your mum within the next few weeks!"
Because of the distance,I didn't get to see him every day,but phoned regularly.I went to see him each weekend.On my next visit the duty nurse told me about his progress saying that they didn't believe what they were seeing."Your father is a walking miracle,"I was told.

mum Margaret.He missed her.His determination,courage,and love for my mother was really an inspiration(激勵)to me.

that I was so lucky to have such a mentor.It wasn't too late though.I got to tell him how much he meant

the end of his life.
