25、xpensive costume(戏装), but finally sheagreed.”得知Tom的母亲本不想购买戏装，因为昂贵，得知A选项错误；同时根据此句可得知B选项错误，因为最后母亲同意购买戏装；C选项文章中未提及，故正确项为D。答案：D28. When Tom went for the third operation, he _.

28、t children.D.

29、 Im not going to say luck,talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into theright 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 gradually ma
30、ke it morepractical.And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend atleast 10,000 hours studying and practicing.

33、t,almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in thetime and work, dont expect to receive any rewards.

34、 you put all that work into.31. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success解析：段落主旨大意题。通过第一段我们可以得知作者列出很多人认为成功的因素，如“Somepeople are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence”出生
35、在好的家庭，天赋异禀，可得知本段主要在讲一些成功的因素，故选A。此外根据上下文意思和排除法，不难得出答案是原因。其他meaning（意义），standards（标准），importance（重要性）都不正确。答案：A 32. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to _.A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goalC. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life解析：猜词题。此种题目的答案多数在前文找，根据前文，不难得知答案。Howev

A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的this is a big reason why., If you dont enjoy what you do, it isgo
38、ing to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become goodat it.可知答案的关键是this。而this指代的内容刚好是与时间（To become great at certainthings, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.）有关。答案：D34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like
39、to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were bornwith some rare talent, but thinkin
40、g that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance thatyoure wrong anyway.”句义为很容易去认为他们是运气好，或者天生有些独特的天赋，但是这么想对你并无好处，而且极有可能你想错了。可以得知很多人的成功并不是因为天赋或 运气。通过but之后的内容不难得出答案。而且也可以通过排除法得出答案。A项的show skills表达错误。C项的表达at the cost of life以生命为代价是错误的。D项可以根据第四段最后一句的does you no good可以知道答案。答案：B35.What is the main th
41、eme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D.

42、 day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long periodof time.”得知正确项为C。ABD项都是以偏概全。文章多次提到要花费时间和精力。答案：C COne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up inmy office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his handsshaki
