Giving up my job to go back to full-time education was a big __________, but now I know it was the best decision I ever made.

A．projectB．commitmentC．competitionD．a(chǎn)mbition

B

解析試題分析：考查名詞的辨義。句意為 “當(dāng)初放棄我的工作重新接受全日制的教育是個(gè)了不起的決定，現(xiàn)在我知道那是我作出的最好的決定。” project項(xiàng)目, 計(jì)劃, 方案, 課題； commitment 承諾，許諾，保證； competition比賽，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)； ambition抱負(fù)，雄心，野心。
commitment與后面的decision相呼應(yīng)，故選B。
考點(diǎn)：考查名詞的詞義辨析
點(diǎn)評(píng)：詞義辨析題在高考中有所涉及，每年的趨勢(shì)不盡相同。對(duì)于詞義辨析題目，首先可以從句意著手，看懂句意是解答此類題目的關(guān)鍵，其次四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思也要了如指掌。這對(duì)于平時(shí)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)仔細(xì)度提出了要求，學(xué)生在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中要勤積累，多記憶，多查字典，以便在考試時(shí)能夠迅速準(zhǔn)確的答出。

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold, it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some inspiration.

1. Bill Gates

Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people. Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.

2. Steve Jobs

The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school. Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.

3. Frank Lloyd Wright

As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism."

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：湖北省2010屆高一第二學(xué)期期末聯(lián)考（英語(yǔ)） 題型：閱讀理解

Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more than valuable lessons from it than from school.

When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.

See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape . We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature (幼稚的) and only thought of myself, sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover.

After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity (大學(xué)代表隊(duì)) football has taught me so much more than just what my tasks are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men, who will succeed in life.

65. What is the text mainly about?

A. How the author dislikes the game of football.

B. When the author began to play football.

C. How the author has changed his attitude to football.

D. What sport the author likes best.

66. The author thinks football is ________.

A. just a game    B. of a mental sport    C. hard to pass out  D. not worth his effort

67. From the text we can infer ________.

A. the author joined the football team with a clear aim.

B. football only brought the author certain tasks

C. the author worked all summer to get ready for the season.

D. the author never lost heart when he met with difficulties.

68. In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting in shape” probably means ________.

A. becoming physically fit             B. designing the playground

C. losing weight                     D. measuring the track
