2014届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练50（1）ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be goals. goal setting is extremely important to motivation and success. so what motivates you? why are you in college? if you are in college because thats what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself. sure, its possible to succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you. (if you graduate from college, ill give you a car! or worse if you dont graduate from college, you wont get a car.) but motivation that comes from within really makes the difference. certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you dont have motivation, you wont get far. think about this analogy. you have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic cd system, and a sleek, polished exterior(外表). there it sits. this car has incredible potential. (have you heard that before?) however, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesnt function. you guessed it; the key is motivation. interest is an important motivator for a student. so is a desire to learn. when you link these two things together, you create success. often success in an endeavor leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established. so be honest with yourself. are you genuinely interested in being in college? have you set realistic goals for yourself? how can you develop the internal motivation that really counts? when it comes to motivation, knowing is not as important as doing. 1. why does the writer give the example of a car in the second paragraph?a. because people can never go far without a good car.b. b. because a good car motivates some college students to study harder. c. because a good car is a symbol of being a success. d. because motivation leads people to success like it starts a car.2. what is the correct understanding of the internal motivation and the external (外部的)motivation? a. only the internal motivation can result in success. b. internal motivation outweighs external motivation. c. internal motivation and external motivation has equal importance. d. external motivation is enough for people to achieve success.3. according to the article the following factors can push people towards their goals except _?a. interest b. the desire to learn c. the knowledge of motivation d. the sense of success4. whats the main purpose of the article?a. to inspire everyone to develop motivation for whatever they are doing.b. to motivate college students to set goals for their college life. c. to imply that the less motivated college students quit the college.d. to call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.5. what may be the writers advice to the potential readers?a. the goals you set for yourself shouldnt be far beyond your reach.b. you neednt attend college if you are really not interested in it.c. you should work harder to win praise from others.d. honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life. 参考答案 1-5 d b c b a*结束链接2 2010全国二卷thousands of people living in the chinese capital will celebrate the start of the chinese new year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪场).never mind that beijings dry weather seldom produces now. it is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. and the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮).since beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase. there are now more than a dozen resorts. clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. mr.wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead chinese to head for the ski resorts of europe. in recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in china. but many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in europe.beijings skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private cars. this has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capitals suburbs, which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. according to mr. wei, about 40 of the visitors to his resort some in their own cars. the rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.the problem is making money. starting ski resort requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines ,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. the ski resort where mr.wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. and, as so often in china when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.50.what does this text mainly talk about?aconvenience for skiers brought about by private carsbskiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare timecthings to be considered when starting a ski resortda sudden increase of ski training classes in beijing51.why are some chinese likely to go skiing in europe?ato visit more ski areasbto ski on natural snowcfor a large collection of ski suitsdfor better services and equipment52.the underlined words ”leisure industry” in paragraph 3 refer
