But then, those first few months? They came and went, and I couldnt quite do stuff. Then six months turned into one month

2、, which turned into two weeks. One day I woke up with three days until the deadline, still not having written a word. So I did the only thing I could: I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two all-nighters, sprinted across campus, and got it in just at the deadline. It was a very, very

Although Im an independent person who has been to numerous countries

11、, Ive never gone on an overseas holiday alone. Ive traveled with my parents, partners, kids and other families. Ive travelled with my bestie and joined tours where I knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel is celebra

12、ted. Ive seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushed you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!And yet, Ive never had an urge to

13、 do it. For one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even if youre good at chatting with strangers, it isnt always possible. I dont want to worry about bein

14、g alone on my travels. I want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw, but now I see it as a valid choice.Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career

15、. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I dont need to travel alone to build resilience. I have resilience in spades. Im sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Bei

Its been hidden un

21、der a thick layer of clouds. And December is a very dark time of the year even if its a clear sky, since we only can see the sun for about an hour above the treetops before it goes back down.But in some way I really love this time. I love the extremes. The very dark December, and the very light June

22、. The midnight sun and the polar night. Its so special and magical in some way.But today, we finally saw the light from the sun again. It was still behind clouds but it was so beautiful to just see the light and the beautiful colors in the sky. That really made my day! I flew up with my drone (无人机)

23、so that I could take a photo of it.Its only in the contrasts that we can really appreciate life. We need the darkness to see the light. We need the cold to feel the warmth. We need to put ourselves in discomfort to appreciate the comfort. And every year this time I get the same deep feelings of grat

24、itude for the light and the sun. Its ok to live in darkness for a long time each year just to get this feeling when standing in the window and suddenly feel a little ray of sunlight hitting your face. Its like being flushed with a wave of love. Its like I wanna cry every time.Our cat Nayeli must hav

25、e also felt very happy about the little sunlight we got today, since she sat in the window looking out for a long time while the sun was visible.I took the photo of my beautiful home and my village today.

28、ook.Passage 4（2022安徽六安一中高二期末）Like most parents, Im terrified at how quickly time goes, so I feel a constant pressure to save every moment for my children. I want to keep it so I try to record it on film and relive the moments whenever I look back on it. I want to remember as much of my kids childhoo

29、d as possible. But I found that, actually, the more I document the less I remember. And to do this, I think I need to put the camera down.Its hard to describe how it feels when a photo stirs (搅动，唤起)a memory. For instance, when I look at the pictures of my son on the day he was born-I am there in the

30、 hospital, I remember the mixture of incredible emotions, the way he felt, and I even remember the smell. But I have taken thousands of photos of him since then and they dont have nearly this much impact. Often I look at the photos only a year or so old and while I can see it is my son and me, and I

31、 know we were at that place at that time, it doesnt stir anything. I know it happened, but I dont really remember it. And I think its because I have spent so much time behind the camera, rather than in the moment.And there is another reason to put the camera down. I want my kids to be comfortable in

32、 their skin for as long as possible, happily unaware of how they might appear. Just last month my son was running outdoors around a giant decorative polar bear, laughing, when my mother-in-law took out her phone to take a picture, and immediately I saw some changes in him. He slowed down a bit. His

33、smile lasted too long. At four years old, my little boy already knows that when that black box is in his face, the expectation is on him to perform.Of course, taking photos has its uses and I dont plan to stop now. But my aim is to take a less-is-more approach.13What did the writer mean by saying “t

34、he more I document the less I remember”?AShe couldnt remember anything when she took photos.BShe tried her best to remember what happened through films and photos.CShe spent so much time taking photos that she didnt remember how it felt at that moment.DShe found it hard to remember what happened at

35、that time.14How were Paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 mainly developed?ABy offering data.BBy following time order.CBy making classification.DBy giving examples.15Why did the writers son behave differently when facing the camera?ABecause he was aware of whats going on.BBecause he was afraid of itCBecause

36、he didnt like it.DBecause he was comfortable with performing.16Whats the authors attitude towards taking photos?AObjective.BPositive.CNegative.DIndifferent.Passage 5（2022四川泸州高二期末）When Jack, my husband, and I drove past a fire station with a sign reading, “Are you ready for the next storm?” Our area

37、had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages. We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.We have had our share of storms in the past a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold ho

38、use werent fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear.Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that wed have plenty for extended power fai

39、lures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we dont forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on

40、 hand.Were ready for the next storm, but we wouldnt have learned to do all those things if we hadnt encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms the big trials that will come our way. They can te

41、ach us some valuable lessons.Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready. not when the storm arrives.17Which can replace the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 1?APower cuts.BTraffic accidents.CBad weathers.DNatural disasters.18What is the third paragraph mainly about?AThe imp

43、was unbearable.20What can we learn from the authors story?AWhen it rains, it pours.BWhere theres smoke, theres fire.CStrike while the iron is hot.DTake precautions before it is too late.Passage 6（2021江西柳州高二期末）Currently, its the beginning of the rainy season in the heart of Brunei (文莱), and I have ne

44、ver been so sweaty. Last night I was poking at insects larger than Id ever seen or even, in my worst nightmares, imagined existed, but despite this, Im still having the time of my life.Im on a taxonomy expedition at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre in the Kingdom of Brunei Darussalam with a s

45、mall group of entomologists (昆虫学家), biotech researchers and laypeople (门外汉) like me. We are searching for new species in the rainforest under the guidance of a research organization. Taxon Expeditions is one of a new crop of private organizations that is tapping into the pockets of people who are sc

46、ience-curious but not science-trained. We help to fund this research, and we get to participate in it.I cant emphasise how remarkable this is. I spent a lot of time as a child dozing in my Snoopy sleeping bag under the table in my mothers lab as she worked on her Ph.Din development genetics. Sequenc

47、ing DNA in the 1980s wasnt something that a person just did in a few hours, and it certainly wasnt done using a device that fitted in the palm of ones hand. And the result wasnt then immediately cross-referenced with an offline version of an online public database of more than 5.3 million “DNA barco

48、des” to see if the organism being sequenced is a newly discovered species.And the craziest thing about all of this is that the sequencer costs less than 1,000 from a company based in Oxford. I would recommend pairing up with an actual geneticist, a biotech expert and a real entomologist to make sens

49、e of the data, but the implications for the future of access to hands-on science are astonishing. Mark my words: we are less than a generation away from an army of layperson bioprospectors (生物勘探员) working the field using a little bit of scientific training and a lot of YouTube online knowledge.But i

50、f a trip to the rainforest with an organisation like Taxon is out of the question, then you can still do research as close as your back garden. The same group that took me to the rainforest went to the Vondel-park in the centre of Amsterdam and identified a new wasp that had never been recorded by s

51、cience. And yes, the sequencer while less expensive than a high-end smart-phone does require a little more training than a touchscreen. But this kind of science is rapidly trickling down to the rest of us, so getting any science kit or apps in the hands of your kids or grand-kids this holiday season

52、 is an investment. Because theres noting like discovery to fuel the future.21What can we learn about the writer of the passage?AThe writer is a biotech researcher.BThe writer is interested in science despite not being an expert.CThe writer had spent a lot of money participating in the expedition.DTh

53、e writer is a staff member at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Center.22The underlined phrase “tapping into the pickets of people” probably means “_”.Atrying to make money from people.Battempting to arouse peoples interestCtrying to develop the potential of peopleDattempting to boost peoples knowled

54、ge23Why does the writer say that the implications for the future of access to hands-on science are astonishing?ABecause teaming up with real experts to work on a project is by no means easy.BBecause scientific devices like sequencers are affordable for the average person.CBecause the assistance of n

55、on-professional bio prospectors aiding in scientific research is less than a generation away.DBecause affordable devices, basic scientific training, and online knowledge make it possible for the average person to conduct useful research.24We can conclude from the passage that .Ascientific research i

56、s still restricted to some trained expertsBdevices like sequencers are easier to operate than smart-phoneCone doesnt need to be scientifically trained to take part in valuable researchDdoing research in ones own garden can help promote the development of sciencePassage 7（2021四川宜宾市高二期末）Franz Kafka wr

57、ote that “a book must be the ax (斧子)for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanation.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a st

58、ar basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is that Ive read it many times.”But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was alway

59、s going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, Ive taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever

60、 will, the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our

61、students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.25The underlined sentence probably means that a b

Im not af

65、raid of the gatekeeper-at least I can negotiate with him. But a dog? Forget it. Ill find another way. While planning his special(uninvited)visit to the Beijing site, the 25-year-old did some research, but still failed to locate the entrance.Ye is among the thousands who are interested in “taking adv

66、entures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures-usually abandoned ruins or “hidden components of the man-made environments”.Venturing into abandoned structures is one of the most common examples of urban exploration. Although targets vary from one country to

67、 another, high-profile abandoned structures usually include amusement parks, factories, power plants, missile silos, fallout shelters, hospitals, asylums, schools and houses.Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city”and get to understand its h

68、istory from a different angle.Ye, who worked as an intern for a German company in Beijing for six months, said he enjoyed the contrast between the citys two sides- modern and crowded, compared with old-fashioned and silent-and wanted to learn more about the capital during his short stay.Ye said that

69、 he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly built residential block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.“I will come back another day,” he said.29Wh

We are feeling grief but also gratitude. My dads passing was not unexpected - he was 94 and his health had been failing-so we have all

73、had a long time to reflect on just how lucky we are to have had this amazing man in our lives for so many years.My dad had a great influence on my drive. When I was a kid, he never let me put very little effort into things I was good at, and he always pushed me to try things I hated. He modeled an a

74、mazing work ethic（道德准则）as one of the hardest-working and most respected lawyers in Seattle. My dads influence on our philanthropy（慈善行为）was just big. Throughout my childhood, he and my mom taught me by example what generosity looked like in how they used their time and resources. The Bill & Melinda G

75、ates Foundation would not be what it is today without my dad. More than anyone else, he shaped the values of the foundation. Finally, my dad had a positive influence on my most important roles - husband and father. When I am at my best, I know it is because of what I learned from my dad about respec

76、ting women and guiding childrens choices with love and respect. Dad wrote me a letter on my 50th birthday. “Over time, ” he wrote, “I have told you and others not to overuse the adjective incredible. This is a word with huge meaning to be used only in extraordinary settings. What I want to say, here

77、, is simply that the experience of being your father has beenincredible.”I know he would not want me to overuse the word, but there is no danger of doing that now. The experience of being the son of Bill Gates was INCREDIBLE. People used to ask my dad if he was the real Bill Gates. The truth is, he

78、was everything I try to be. I will miss him every day.33The underlined part “my drive” in paragraph 3 refers to_.Amy attitude to wealthBmy interest in what is roundCmy choice of workDmy effort to something34Based on the text, which word can be used to describe the authors father?AHonest.BCreative.CG

81、 He had to work to make ends meet. Underpaid and unsatisfied by his average performances, he felt a burning desire to devote more time and energy to his art. So after a period of doubt and thinking, thats exactly what he did. He quit his job and began what turned out to be the most creative period o

82、f his life.Even if you never hope to reach Mozarts level of mastery, you may relate to his need to break free from convention (传统). Maybe youve done everything right stood out at school, and got a high-paying job but youre tired of being just like everyone else. Maybe you long to achieve something t

83、hat is unmistakably you.What, then, is holding you back? Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes magazine and author of Late Bloomers, argues that our cultures obsession (痴迷) with early achievement discourages us from going after what we love. Instead of having varied interests, studying widely, and

84、 taking our time essentials (要素) for self-discovery were encouraged to pass tests, become specialists right away, and pursue safe and secure careers. As a result, most of us end up choosing professional excellence over personal achievement, and often we lose ourselves in the process.As you move forw

85、ard, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, its never too late to “become” yourself. Aristotle, for example, didnt fully devote himself to writing and philosophy until he was nearly 50. There are also benefits to taking a long, winding path to achievement. Remember that age usually brings wi

86、sdom, self-knowledge, and creativity. This is one reason the average age of founders of high-growth start-ups is 45.If you ever get stuck, think of Joanne, a talented and creative woman who bounced from job to job throughout her twenties. She felt like a total failure. But she took that feeling of h

87、opelessness and chose to do what shed always wanted to do: write fantasy novels for children.

91、夹叙夹议文。作者结合自己写大学毕业论文的经历给读者讲述了拖延者的内心想法。1推理判断题。通读第一段可知，该段主要讲述了作者写毕业论文时一直拖延，最后花了两个晚上写了一篇非常糟糕的论文。再结合下文作者陈述拖延者内心的想法推知，第一段提到作者大学的经历主要是为了描述当时发生了什么以及引出下文话题。故选C。2词句猜测题。根据第一段“But then, those first few months? They came and went, and I couldnt quite do stuff. Then six months turned into one month, which turned

92、into two weeks. One day I woke up with three days until the deadline, still not having written a word. So I did the only thing I could: I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two all-nighters（但是，最初的几个月呢?它们来了又走，我什么都没做。然后六个月变成了一个月，又变成了两周。有一天我醒来，离截止日期还有三天，但我一个字也没写。所以我做了我能做的唯一一件事：我在72小时内写了9

93、0页，熬了两个通宵）”可知，第一段描述了作者拖延的情况。由此推知，作者写了一篇关于拖延的博客，解释拖延者的想法。即划线词意为“拖延”，与delay同义。故选A。3细节理解题。根据第三段的“Both brains have a Rational Decision Maker, but the procrastinators instant brain also has an Instant Gratification Monkey. The Rational Decision Maker will make the reasonable decision to do something prod

94、uctive, but the Monkey doesnt like that plan, who actually takes the wheel. He lives entirely in the present moment and only cares about two things: easy and fun. （两种大脑都有一个理性的决策者，但拖延者的即时大脑也有一个即时的满足感。理性的决策者会做出合理的决定，去做一些有成效的事情，但Monkey不喜欢这个计划，实际上是它在掌舵。它完全活在当下，只关心两件事：简单和有趣）”和第四段的“The Panic Monster is re

95、sting most of the time, and he suddenly wakes up anytime a deadline gets too close or theres danger of public embarrassment, a career disaster or some other scary consequence. And importantly, hes the only thing the Monkey is afraid of.（恐慌怪兽大部分时间都在休息，但一旦截止日期太近，或者面临公众尴尬、职业灾难或其他可怕后果的危险，它就会突然醒来。更重要的是，它

96、是Monkey唯一害怕的东西）”可知，作者的遐想是：即时的满足感唯一害怕恐慌怪兽。故选B。4主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第二段“I write the blog Wait But Why about procrastination to explain what goes on in the heads of procrastinators.（我写了一篇关于拖延的博客，解释了拖延者的想法）”以及最后一段“See, thats what is experiencing in a procrastinators brain.（看，这就是拖延者的大脑所经历的）”可知，作者通过这篇文章主要讲述

97、了拖延者的想法。故B项“一个拖延者的内心世界”可以作为最佳标题。故选B。5D6C7D8B【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者从自身经历出发，论述了对独自旅行的看法，独自旅行能增强韧性，但作者因为经历过许多困难，已经有韧性了，所以作者认为要成为一个独立的女人，你不需要一个人的旅程。5细节理解题。根据第一段中“For most of my adult life, Ive felt sightly ashamednot of something Ive done, but of something I havent. Although Im an independent person who has b

98、een to numerous countries, Ive never gone on an overseas holiday alone.(在我成年后的大部分时间里，我都为我没有做过的事而感到羞愧。虽然我是一个独立的人，去过很多国家，但我从来没有一个人出国度假)”可知，作者感到有点羞愧的是没有独自出国旅行。故选 D。6细节理解题。根据第二段中“Solo travel is celebrated. Ive seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by cros

99、sing countries alone.(独自旅行很受欢迎。我看过上千篇冒险的女性写的文章，她们声称自己通过独自穿越国家找到了自我)”可知，独自旅行受到喜欢冒险的女性的欢迎因为她们更好地了解自己。故选C。7句意猜测题。根据画线部分上文“I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I dont need to

127、本身就是父母；无家可归的孩子；在暴力社区长大的孩子。他们比我更了解小说可怕的逻辑让梦想屈服于命运）”可知，学生们为什么能理解人鼠之间这部小说，是因为他们可能有相同的经历。故选B项。28推理判断题。根据最后一段“We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that

128、ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.（我们正试图教学生阅读越来越复杂的文本，不是为了情感冲击，而是为了文本的复杂性。然而，我们不能通过测试忽略学生内心的文本来丰富他们的思想。我们教他们，词语不会使人惊奇，反而会使

129、人迷惑。我们可能成功地提高了他们的考试分数，但我们无法让他们知道阅读是具有变革意义的，阅读是属于他们的） ”可知，作者认为当前的阅读教学是为了应试教育，忽略了阅读对学生的情感冲击，不能丰富学生的思想。因此，作者的态度是消极的，否定的。故选A项。29D30C31D32C【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，以叶田（音译）为例介绍了城市探险家，他们热衷于参观废弃的建筑，希望从不同的角度了解城市的历史。29推理判断题。根据第三段“Ye is among the thousands who are interested in “taking adventures”, which they call urban

130、 exploration, or “urbex”.

Im not af

131、raid of the gatekeeper-at least I can negotiate with him. But a dog? Forget it. Ill find another way.”可知，然而，一只看门狗给了叶田第二个想法。我不怕看门人，至少我可以和他谈谈，但是狗呢？算了吧，我会另辟蹊径的，也就是说那条看门狗让叶田没能从入口进去，故C项正确。31细节理解题。根据第五段“Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city”and

132、get to understand its history from a different angle.”可知，城市探险家有兴趣参观这些废弃的地方，因为他们可以发现“城市的其他部分”，并从不同的角度了解其历史，也就是说，城市探险家热衷于参观废弃的建筑是因为他们可以了解城市的历史，故D项正确。32推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ye said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But

133、he then managed to get into a newly built residential block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.”可知，叶说，他终于可以从另一个入口溜进去了，但不久之后，一个看门人仍要求他离开。但随后，他设法进入一个新建的住宅区，爬上楼顶，拍摄了日落时工厂废墟的照片，由此可知，面对看门人的阻止，城市探险家要想参观这些废弃的建筑一定要有决心，想办法进去或通过其他的方式拍到它们的照片，故C项正确。【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于要根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻

134、辑的推断，切不可凭借主观臆断，例如本篇第4题，根据最后一段“Ye said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly built residential block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.”可

135、知，叶说，他终于可以从另一个入口溜进去了，但不久之后，一个看门人仍要求他离开。但随后，他设法进入一个新建的住宅区，爬上楼顶，拍摄了日落时工厂废墟的照片，由此可知，面对看门人一次又一次的阻挠，城市探险家要想参观这些废弃的建筑一定要有决心，想办法进去或通过其他的方式拍到它们的照片，故C项正确。33D34C35A36A【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。本文是比尔盖茨缅怀自己的父亲写下的文章。文中描写了父亲一生的成就，对子女的教育和影响。33词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“When I was a kid, he never let me put very lttle effort into things

137、去尝试自己讨厌的事情。他是西雅图工作最努力、最受尊敬的律师之一，树立 了令人惊叹的职业道德。由此可知，作者的父亲以身作则，为作者树立了努力工作的榜样，并且推动作者努力去完成作者不喜欢的事情。在作者努力做事上给予了极大影响，故划线词与D项意思相近。故选D项。34推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Throughout my childhood, he and my mom taught me by example what generosity looked like inhow they used their time and resources. The Bill & Melinda Gates F

138、oundation would not be what it is today without my dad.（在我整个童年时光，他和我妈用自己实际行动，用他们的时间和资源，告诉我们乐善好施应该是什么样的。如果没有我的父亲，就没有比尔梅林达盖茨基金会的今天）”可知，作者的父亲和母亲为比尔梅琳达盖茨基金会做出了巨大贡献。从他们身上,作者明白了“慷慨”的概念。由此可知，作者的父亲致力于慈善事业，非常慷慨。故选C项。35推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“People used to ask my dad if he was the real Bill Gates. The truth is, he w

139、as everything I try to be.（人们曾经问我爸爸他是不是真的比尔盖茨。事实是，他是我想成为的那种人）”可知，作者想成为父亲那样的人。由此推知，作者的父亲是作者的榜样，所以作者也想成为像他那样的人。故选A项。36推理判断题。文章第一段作者提到自己的父亲昨天去世了。从第二段开始 ，作者开始回忆父亲对自己各方面的影响，叙述父亲一生的所作所为和成就。 最后一段作者提到自 己也想成为像父亲那样的人。很明显，作者通过这篇文章，来纪念深爱的父亲。故选A项。37C38A39D40D【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了几个名人成功的曲折过程以及他们无论何时都坚持做自己的故事。鼓励我

142、es obsession with early achievement discourages us from going after what we love.(福布斯杂志的出版人、大器晚成一书的作者Rich Karlgaard认为，我们的文化对早期成就的痴迷，阻碍了我们追求自己喜欢的东西)”可知，渴望早日取得成就阻止了人们追求他们所爱的东西。故选A项。39句意猜测题。通过画线句上文“First, its never too late to “become” yourself. Aristotle, for example, didnt fully devote himself to wri

143、ting and philosophy until he was nearly 50.(首先，“成为”你自己永远不嫌晚。例如，亚里士多德直到将近50岁才完全投身于写作和哲学)”可知，亚里士多德为了成功也经历了许多。以及后文“Remember that age usually brings wisdom, self-knowledge, and creativity.(记住，阅历通常带来智慧、自知之明和创造力)”可推知，划线句的意思是“走一条漫长曲折的道路取得成就也有好处”，即通往成功的道路充满了困难。故选D项。40推理判断题。文章主要讲述了几个名人成功的曲折过程以及他们无论何时都坚持做自己，没有迷失自我的故事。由此可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励人们在任何年龄都成为自己。故选D项。
