Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, besides 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, itll require even more time, which most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up 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. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some unusual talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.No matter what 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 youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Hard work wont 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.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _. A . the reasons for successB . the meaning of successC . the standards of successD . the importance of success（2）The underlined word that refers to _. A . putting in more timeB . succeeding in lifeC . being good at somethingD . setting a practical goal（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _. A . work makes him feel painB . he is likely to enjoy his workC . he gives up his work easilyD . it takes a lot of time to succeed（4）What is the main purpose of the passage? A . To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B . To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C . To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D . To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共10分)15. （10分）任务型阅读If youre away from home, feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort, the Danes have a solution. Its called “hygge”. Coming from Danish culture, but popularized by the British in 2016, hygge is much more than just a word, its becoming a feeling around the world.The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mothers cooking, your partners arm around your shoulder and so on.Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when youve got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. Its a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, its just the opposite. Youre supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely.Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧) back to your birthplace, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not a pill or e-reader).If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the old days. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need to reply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在) back then.Now youve really understood hygge without even having to set foot in Copenhagen.An Antidote to _HyggeOrigin (起源)Hygge came from Danish culture.It was _with the British in 2016.What hygge isYou will feel pleased_your family members around.You dont_to use modern technology like a cellphone or computer.You can eat whatever you like without_about daily exercise.What people can do_feeling stressedYou can remind _of the sweet memories of childhood and relax yourself by reading books that you like _.If Denmark seems too far, let yourself think of old things and chat about the old days when _or text messages didnt exist.Its not _for you to go to Copenhagen as you have known hygge well.五、 语法填空 (共1题；共1分)16. （1分）I dont think they can improve themselves in _ (write) English in two weeks. 六、 用动词的适当形式填空。 (共1题；共1分)17. （1分）It is raining now and I have to _(stay)at home. 七、 单词拼写 (共1题；共16分)18. （16分）根据句意及汉语提示完成句子。（1）Herry loves animals so that he _ _ _ _ (下定决心) to be a vet(兽医), especially for dogs.（2）_ _ great _ (使我们感到高兴的是), we won the Excellent Cla
