通读全文,本文是说明文。全文通过运动员赛跑为例说明积极思维,想象成功在取得成功方面的重大作用。

小题1:C Both look strong and fast 是这两个运动员的共同点,空后的句子的意思是,有的成功了,有的失败了,因此前后间为转折关系。

小题1:D B,C有较大干扰性,分析空后的短语我们可以知道,such as 后的中心词是achievement, 它是运动员所要达到的目标(goals)而不是奖牌(medals)和奖励(prizes)。

小题1:B “有的人一生都没有达到自己的愿望。”promise在这里用作名词,意思是“希望、愿望”。

小题1:A从空后的before a race or another event我们可以看出,作者在这里问,在运动或其它项目之前,人们需要作什么准备。

小题1:B the difference在此指代上文的some athletes can reach great goals…及others never

live up to their promise。

小题1:C strengthen the body与下文的strengthening the mind 相对。

小题1:A“然而研究表明增强心理(与增强体力)同等重要。”联系上下文我们可以看出空后省略了as strengthening their bodies。

小题1:C此空较难选出。作者指出,研究表明对运动员来说增强心理与增强体力同等重要,接着他用careful study 进一步说明这个理论。因此说,好的运动员能够赢部分是因为他们认为自己能赢。

小题1:A“朝积极方向思维在运动上能给予成功的可能。”本句承接上段而来。

小题1:B D有较大干扰性。作者在前文指出了运动员增强心理对成功的重要性,在这里他继续解释这一观点——那些认为自己能赢的有赢的优势。advantage在这里的意思是“优势”。

小题1:A本空可以从上一句得到答案依据。

小题1:B从下文Some use pictures that are more fanciful 可得到答案依据。

小题1:A选择本空要与空后的定语从句联系起来,make each move to do sth.意思是“采取一切行动做某事”。本句的意思是“他们被告诉要采取一切可以采取的行动去获胜。”

小题1:B联系上下文,a star bursting inside her 纯属于一种想象(imagination)。

小题1:C星星在她体内迸裂后给她注满了能量。

小题1:A从空后的pictured himself as a 17 (bird) floating in the air 我们可以推知,运动员通过想象一只鸟轻轻滑翔在空中来镇定自己。

小题1:B从空后的floating in the air 得此答案。

小题1:B全文讲的是心理作用(mind)在成功中的重要性。

小题1:A如果你想你做得更好,你会发现在你所能做的事情上会有大的改观。

小题1:B从前文我们知道心理在成功上起一定作用。因此你所想象的事情必须是你确实(really)能做的,这样对你做的事情才能有帮助。
