阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world． Each element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others． You cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success．
Success is very much achievable to everybody．Believe that and you have taken the first step．If you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task．However, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in, is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to success．
There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate cont rol．Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activities．
What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievements．Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeed．
Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks．At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable
targets can all play an important role．
All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed．But it is up to you to get things started．Those who do not start travel nowhere．For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment．
56．According to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?
A．Don’t compare with others． B．Bring everything under control．
C．Find out what you have in mind． D．Feel confident about your ability．
57．Why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage?
A．It will allow you to recover from past failures．
B．It will remind you of the vision of your future．
C．It will motivate you to continue pursuing success．
D．It will help you develop your characteristics in everything．
58．The underlined word “setbacks” （in paragraph 5） probably means ________．
A． failures B． troubles C． hesitation D． depression
59．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．If you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far．
B．If you don’t start trying, you’ll never embrace success．
C．If you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want．
D．If you don’t study, you can never reach the destination．
B
People often ask me how, as a man, I became so devoted to improving the quality of
women’s lives. It wasn’t until age forty that I realized what had started me down my career path.
One morning more than thirty-seven years ago, I was awakened by the passing school bus. I was thirteen years old, living at home with my two younger brothers and our mother, Doris Joy Heavin. She had just passed her fortieth birthday. She was a mother of five children and had suffered emotional and physical problems most of her life. Her doctor had tried various treatments on her with little benefit.
As I awoke to the sound of the passing school bus, my brother Paul came in and told me that I’d better come quickly because mother was sick. As I knelt beside her bed, I could feel the absence of warmth. I put my arms around her, first to feel for a sign of life, and then as a final hug. I took my younger brothers, aged eight and nine, in my arms and gently told them that our mother was in heaven.
Her death was unnecessary. The high blood pressure causing the blood clot(血栓) that took her life was unnecessary. Rather than medicate the symptoms, she could have dealt with the cause of her high blood pressure: we now know that exercise and proper nutrition will almost always reduce the causes of high blood pressure and most other chronic(慢性的) diseases.
Many years later, while teaching a fitness and weight loss class to a group of about eighty women, I realized I was subconsciously(下意识地) searching the crowd for the face of my mother.
60. The underlined part “medicat e the sympt oms” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______ .
A. provide proper nutrition B. take exercise regularly
C. give up the treatment D. treat the disease using medicine
61. What made the author devoted to improving the quality of women’s lives.
A. His mother’s illness and death. B. The early loss of both his parents.
C. His support to the rights of women. D. His knowledge of high blood pressure.
62. From the passage we learn that ________ .
A. the author was the oldest child in his family
B. the author’s father died long before his mother
C. high blood pressure is a kind of chronic disease
D. many women were found with blood clot at the time

高考资源网 Xiao Ming,
I’m glad to offer you some advice.
In my opinion, forming good habits to learn English is vital and essential, such as reading aloud, listening to English songs and communicating with native speakers of English. Fortunately, you have easy access to English because there are English programmes on TV and English films. Also, reading can often build your vocabulary, which may be the biggest challenge for you. In addition, you should have confidence in yourself. Try to speak English whenever possible, just as a proverb goes, practice makes perfect. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. In this way, you are sure to improve your English.
Hopefully, my advice will be helpful.
Yours,
Deanne
