In the past，the biggest stars were trained by the Hllywd studis；nw，anyne with a cmputer camera can becme a star.Vlggers are the big stars f tday because they are nrmal peple interacting with their fans abut everyday life.
Hwever，what peple see is nly the bright side f being a vlgger and they fail t ntice the fact that nly thse wh are successful earn fame and frtune.Fr every success，there are hundreds f thers wh never get ff the starting line.There are the dreams that cme true and the dreams that remain dreams frever.
Althugh being vlggers is ppular，sme yung peple chse t fllw careers that dn’t necessarily earn them fame，but allw them t make gd use f the Internet t share their hbbies.Yung Israeli David Leshaw，fr example，runs a business called the Finishers Club.It’s an nline platfrm fr runners t keep a recrd f their races.His jb allws him t express his enthusiasm，and is always a learning experience.And that’s enugh fr him.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章对现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变进行了介绍和分析。
4．B 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段最后一句“But tday，things stand differently.”和第三段第一句“This change is undubtedly as a result f the Internet and scial media(这种改变无疑是网络和社交媒体的结果。).”可知，现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变是因为网络和社交媒体，所以现在互联网影响着英国年轻人的职业选择。全文围绕这个主题展开。故选B项。
5．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“They have made it s much easier t reach audience f the wrld，withut having t enter a career in shw business in the traditinal way(它们使接触世界上的观众变得更容易，可以不用传统的方式进入表演行业。).”可知，they是指“the Internet and scial media(网络和社交媒体)”。由此可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主的原因是网络和社交媒体使进入表演行业更加容易。故选C项。
6．A 推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Fr every success，there are hundreds f thers wh never get ff the starting line.”可知，从事视频博主的人的成功率很低。由此可知，只有很少的视频博主能够获得名声和财富。故选A项。
7．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Althugh being vlggers is ppular，sme yung peple chse t fllw careers that dn’t necessarily earn them fame，but allw them t make gd use f the Internet t share their hbbies(尽管成为视频博主很流行，但是一些年轻人选择那些不一定能给他们带来名声，但是能让他们利用网络来分享他们的爱好的职业。).”和“fr example”可知，David就是选择将职业和爱好相结合的例子。故选D项。

Every day，acrss the US，there are peple sitting in twers mre than 100 feet in the air alne，scanning the distance fr signs f smke.They are fire watchers，als knwn as ur eyes in the sky.
What is it like t be a fire watcher？Peter Naumann，a frmer fire watcher，tells abut a typical day.“I’d get up at 5:30，eat a quick breakfast，and scan the area fr smke nce every hur.” Other duties include reprting t headquarters twice each day，cutting firewd and s n.Aside frm these required rutines，a fire watcher shuld have hbbies and like reading，which helps pass the time.
While it might sund like a quiet life t sme，at any mment，an adventure culd begin.“Rainstrms and thunderstrms were a tugh time.I had t be awake all thrugh，lking fr where the lightning was striking，” says Naumann.Smetimes，fire watchers als need t act as backcuntry dispatchers(调度员).Fr example，Naumann nce aided in the rescue f an injured hrse rider.
It may seem surprising that the life f a fire watcher is very much the same all these years.Even much f the technlgy used in the early days is still used tday.Fr example，the Osbrne Firefinder is a tl that gives cmpass headings fr fire lcatins.This tl has been in use fr nearly 100 years.Tday，fire watchers have the added help f sptter planes，helicpters and satellite imaging.
With mre and mre new technlgy，why d we still need fire watchers？“Ideally，yu shuld have smene wh knws the land features and the weather cnditins，” says Naumann.Als，fire watchers are able t see things that satellite imaging cannt，such as the difference between clud-t-clud lightning and grund strikes.
S the fire watchers still hike t their psts each fire seasn.Why？They are ur eyes in the sky.
( )8．What d fire watchers d while n duty?
A．They read bks t pass the time.
B．They inspect the area regularly.
C．They take n rescue wrk t seek adventure.
D．They carry ut multi-tasks frequently.
( )9．Which f the fllwing is NOT true accrding t the passage?
A．Naumann desn’t wrk as a fire watcher nw.
B．Sme peple thinks a fire watcher’s life is quiet.
C．Great changes have taken place in fire watchers’ lives.
D．The authr thinks fire watchers are still needed nw.
( )10．Why is Osbrne Firefinder mentined in Paragraph 4?
A．T list the added help fire watchers have gt.
B．T stress the imprtance f using technlgy.
C．T give an example f hw skilled fire watchers are.
D．T shw the little change in fire detecting technlgy.
( )11．What accunts fr the irreplaceable rle f fire watchers?
A．Technlgy may fail t perfrm sme tasks.
B．Technlgy has hardly advanced ver the years.
C．Humans are still needed t reprt t headquarters.
D．Humans are specialists in land features and weather.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天空之眼——在美国各地的火灾警戒员。
8．B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Peter Naumann，a frmer fire watcher，tells abut a typical day.‘I’d get up at 5:30，eat a quick breakfast，and scan the area fr smke nce every hur.’ Other duties include reprting t headquarters twice each day，cutting firewd and s n.”可知，火灾警戒员值勤时会定期检查该地区。故选B项。
9．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Peter Naumann，a frmer fire watcher”可知，A项表述无误；根据第三段中的“While it might sund like a quiet life t sme”可知，B项表述无误；根据最后两段的内容可知，现在火灾警戒员仍然是需要的，所以D项表述无误；根据第四段第一句“It may seem surprising that the life f a fire watcher is very much the same all these years.”可知，火灾警戒员的生活这些年几乎是一样的，故C项表述与原文不符。故选C项。
10．D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，看起来可能让人惊讶的是，这些年来，火灾警戒员的生活几乎没有什么变化。甚至早期使用的许多技术今天仍在使用。例如，奥斯本寻火器是一种可以提供火灾位置的罗盘方向的工具。这种工具已经使用了近100年。由此可推断，提到了奥斯本寻火器为了显示火灾探测技术的变化不大。故选D项。
11．A 推理判断题。根据第五段诺曼所说的话可知，理想情况下，你应该找一个了解地形特征和天气状况的人。此外，火灾观测者还能看到卫星图像无法看到的东西，比如云与云之间的闪电和地面打击之间的区别。 由此可推断，导致了火灾警戒员不可替代的作用是因为技术可能无法完成某些任务。故选A项。
D
Alan Mathisn Turing was brn in England in 1912．Like many talents wh g n t d great things，Turing shwed his incredible intelligence frm a very yung age.In fact，by the time he was halfway thrugh primary schl，Turing’s teachers had already realised he was a mathematical genius.He culd d cmplex calculating in his head even thugh he had never been taught abut it.
Frtunately，Turing was the ppsite f Hawking，and he lved schl.Prf f this is the extreme lengths he wuld g just t get t class.Fr example，n ne ccasin when there was a train strike，Turing even cycled 60 miles t attend.Nw that’s devtin!
Hwever，in spite f Turing’s schlarly attitude and his bvius genius，his teachers had their cncerns abut his future.This is because well-knwn schls in Britain like the nes Turing attended regarded the classics，such as Latin and Greek as the mst imprtant，nt subjects like math and science.Turing’s prud teachers even wrte letters t his parents asking them t cnvince the yung man t fcus mre n the classics.Imagine hw different the wrld might be if the yung Turing had listened t his teachers! Thankfully，his lve fr all things scientific and mathematical meant there was n chance f that.
After finishing secndary schl，Turing cmpleted a degree in mathematics at King’s Cllege Cambridge，and then btained his PhD frm Princetn University in the USA．It was during these university years that he invented the Turing Machine，which is cnsidered by many peple t be the earliest versin f a cmputer prcessing unit.It sunds unbelievable that anybdy culd have invented smething which was similar t a cmputer in 1936．But that just shws hw far ahead f his time Alan Turing was，even when he was still a yung man.
( )12．What can be inferred abut Turing accrding t Paragraph 1—2?
A．He maintained interest in the classics.
B．He rejected attending famus schls.
C．He shwed a strng desire fr schling.
D．He ignred parents’ advice n curse selectin.
( )13．What des the writer think f the Turing Machine?
A．He argues it’s still limited in many functins.
B．He thinks it’s influential in cmputer histry.
C．He dubts if it is truly invented by a yung man.
D．He cnsiders the cnstructin f such machines impssible.
( )14．What is the authr’s main purpse in writing this passage?
A．T indicate the link between genius and success.
B．T illustrate the inventin f the Turing Machine.
C．T stress the impact f teachers’ guidance n Turing’s life.
D．T intrduce Turing’s genius，schlarly attitude and achievement.
( )15．What des Turing’s stry tell us?
A．Nthing great was ever achieved withut enthusiasm.
B．Ordinary peple hpe，while talented peple create.
C．Cntented with little，yet wishing fr mre.
D．Chances favur the minds that are prepared.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国的艾伦·马西森·图灵的天才、学术态度和成就。图灵的故事告诉我们：没有热情成就不了伟业。
12．C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Fr example，n ne ccasin when there was a train strike，Turing even cycled 60 miles t attend.Nw that’s devtin！”可知，他表现出上学的强烈愿望。故选C项。
13．B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It sunds unbelievable that anybdy culd have invented smething which was similar t a cmputer in 1936．But that just shws hw far ahead f his time Alan Turing was，even when he was still a yung man.”可知，作者认为图灵机在计算机历史上很有影响力。故选B项。
14．D 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其根据第一段“Like many talents wh g n t great things，Turing shwed his incredible intelligence frm a very yung age(像许多有才华的人一样，图灵在很小的时候就显示出了惊人的智慧。).”以及第三段中的“Hwever，in spite f Turing’s schlarly attitude and his bvius genius”以及最后一段中的“It was during these university years that he invented the Turing Machine，which is cnsidered by many peple t be the earliest versin f a cmputer prcessing unit(正是在大学期间，他发明了图灵机，这被许多人认为是计算机处理单元的最早版本。).”可知，本文写作目的是介绍图灵的天才、学术态度和成就。故选D项。
15．A 推理判断题。根据第二段以及最后一段中的“It sunds unbelievable that anybdy culd have invented smething which was similar t a cmputer in 1936．But that just shws hw far ahead f his time Alan Turing was，even when he was still a yung man(在1936年，居然有人能发明出类似于计算机的东西，这听起来令人难以置信。但这恰恰说明了艾伦·图灵在他的时代是多么的超前，甚至在他还年轻的时候。).”可知，图灵的故事告诉我们：没有热情成就不了伟业。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Have yu ever gt a lt dne nly t find that yu were nt any clser t yur main bjective (目标)? What I’m talking abut is spending t much f yur time ding things yu think are imprtant but really aren’t.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者结合自己做销售的经历介绍了如何实现自己的目标。
16．B 根据上文“I remember ding a lt f little useless things in my days as a sales persn. The main key t becming gd at sales is t spend the majrity f yur time selling(我记得我做销售的时候做过很多没用的小事情。擅长销售的关键是把你的大部分时间花在销售上。).”可知，上文说明了做销售的关键，本句应承接上文对此进行评价：这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情，并与下一句“But what did I spend my time ding？”形成转折，故B项“这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情。”符合语境。故选B项。
17．E 根据上文“But what did I spend my time ding? I rganised my desk，filed papers，made cntact sheets，set appintments with nn-decisin makers，learnt mre sales skills，etc(但我把时间花在了什么上呢？我整理我的桌子、整理文件、制作联系表、与非决策者约定时间并学习更多的销售技巧，等等。).”可知，作者并没有把大部分时间花在销售上，所以最后是失败。故E项“不用说，我做销售失败了。”符合语境。故选E项。
18．G 根据后文“The prblem is that many peple get int the habit f taking busy actin，things that just keep yu busy instead f bringing yu clser t yur gals(问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这些事情只会让你忙碌，而不是让你更接近你的目标。).”可知，后文提到了问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这不会更接近目标，可知本句是在说明接近目标、取得成功的做法：采取行动。故G项“你可能已经知道，成功的关键之一就是采取行动。”符合语境。故选G项。
19．A 根据后文“First，yu need t figure ut the tw r three things that are the mst imprtant t yur achievement. Then，schedule ut yur time s that yu are spending at least 70% f yur time dealing with thse things. Anything that isn’t part f thse imprtant things shuld be pushed t the end f the day r nt be wrked n at all if pssible(首先，你需要弄清楚对你的成就最重要的两到三件事。然后，安排好你的时间，这样你至少要花70%的时间来处理这些事情。任何与这些重要事情无关的事情都应该推到最后，或者如果可能的话就不要再做了。).”可知，后文介绍了实现目标的具体步骤，故A项“那么你该怎么做呢？”符合语境。故选A项。
20．F 根据上文“Being able t fcus yur actins n ding the few things that make the biggest impact n btaining yur end result is a skill(能够将你的行动集中在对你的最终结果产生最大影响的少数事情上是一种技能。).”以及后文“Yur gals will be achieved faster and yur life will imprve greatly. Cntinue wasting yur time n ding a lt f things that dn’t matter and yu’ll prbably be where yu are nw a year frm tday and that’s a regret yu can d withut(你的目标会更快地实现，你的生活也会大大改善。继续浪费你的时间在那些无关紧要的事情上，你可能会在一年后的今天成为现在的样子，这是一个你可以不后悔的遗憾。).”可知，上文提到了一项技能，推测本句承接上文说明这一技能的作用：一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人。故F项“一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人。”符合语境。故选F项。

This change is undubtedly as a result f the Internet and scial media.They have made it s much easier t reach audience f the wrld，withut having t enter a career in shw business in the traditinal way.
In the past，the biggest stars were trained by the Hllywd studis；nw，anyne with a cmputer camera can becme a star.Vlggers are the big stars f tday because they are nrmal peple interacting with their fans abut everyday life.
Hwever，what peple see is nly the bright side f being a vlgger and they fail t ntice the fact that nly thse wh are successful earn fame and frtune.Fr every success，there are hundreds f thers wh never get ff the starting line.There are the dreams that cme true and the dreams that remain dreams frever.
Althugh being vlggers is ppular，sme yung peple chse t fllw careers that dn’t necessarily earn them fame，but allw them t make gd use f the Internet t share their hbbies.Yung Israeli David Leshaw，fr example，runs a business called the Finishers Club.It’s an nline platfrm fr runners t keep a recrd f their races.His jb allws him t express his enthusiasm，and is always a learning experience.And that’s enugh fr him.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章对现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变进行了介绍和分析。
4．B 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段最后一句“But tday，things stand differently.”和第三段第一句“This change is undubtedly as a result f the Internet and scial media(这种改变无疑是网络和社交媒体的结果。).”可知，现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变是因为网络和社交媒体，所以现在互联网影响着英国年轻人的职业选择。全文围绕这个主题展开。故选B项。
5．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“They have made it s much easier t reach audience f the wrld，withut having t enter a career in shw business in the traditinal way(它们使接触世界上的观众变得更容易，可以不用传统的方式进入表演行业。).”可知，they是指“the Internet and scial media(网络和社交媒体)”。由此可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主的原因是网络和社交媒体使进入表演行业更加容易。故选C项。
6．A 推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Fr every success，there are hundreds f thers wh never get ff the starting line.”可知，从事视频博主的人的成功率很低。由此可知，只有很少的视频博主能够获得名声和财富。故选A项。
7．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Althugh being vlggers is ppular，sme yung peple chse t fllw careers that dn’t necessarily earn them fame，but allw them t make gd use f the Internet t share their hbbies(尽管成为视频博主很流行，但是一些年轻人选择那些不一定能给他们带来名声，但是能让他们利用网络来分享他们的爱好的职业。).”和“fr example”可知，David就是选择将职业和爱好相结合的例子。故选D项。

Every day，acrss the US，there are peple sitting in twers mre than 100 feet in the air alne，scanning the distance fr signs f smke.They are fire watchers，als knwn as ur eyes in the sky.
What is it like t be a fire watcher？Peter Naumann，a frmer fire watcher，tells abut a typical day.“I’d get up at 5:30，eat a quick breakfast，and scan the area fr smke nce every hur.” Other duties include reprting t headquarters twice each day，cutting firewd and s n.Aside frm these required rutines，a fire watcher shuld have hbbies and like reading，which helps pass the time.
While it might sund like a quiet life t sme，at any mment，an adventure culd begin.“Rainstrms and thunderstrms were a tugh time.I had t be awake all thrugh，lking fr where the lightning was striking，” says Naumann.Smetimes，fire watchers als need t act as backcuntry dispatchers(调度员).Fr example，Naumann nce aided in the rescue f an injured hrse rider.
It may seem surprising that the life f a fire watcher is very much the same all these years.Even much f the technlgy used in the early days is still used tday.Fr example，the Osbrne Firefinder is a tl that gives cmpass headings fr fire lcatins.This tl has been in use fr nearly 100 years.Tday，fire watchers have the added help f sptter planes，helicpters and satellite imaging.
With mre and mre new technlgy，why d we still need fire watchers？“Ideally，yu shuld have smene wh knws the land features and the weather cnditins，” says Naumann.Als，fire watchers are able t see things that satellite imaging cannt，such as the difference between clud-t-clud lightning and grund strikes.
S the fire watchers still hike t their psts each fire seasn.Why？They are ur eyes in the sky.
( )8．What d fire watchers d while n duty?
A．They read bks t pass the time.
B．They inspect the area regularly.
C．They take n rescue wrk t seek adventure.
D．They carry ut multi-tasks frequently.

C．Great changes have taken place in fire watchers’ lives.
D．The authr thinks fire watchers are still needed nw.
( )10．Why is Osbrne Firefinder mentined in Paragraph 4?
A．T list the added help fire watchers have gt.
B．T stress the imprtance f using technlgy.
C．T give an example f hw skilled fire watchers are.
D．T shw the little change in fire detecting technlgy.
( )11．What accunts fr the irreplaceable rle f fire watchers?

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天空之眼——在美国各地的火灾警戒员。
8．B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Peter Naumann，a frmer fire watcher，tells abut a typical day.‘I’d get up at 5:30，eat a quick breakfast，and scan the area fr smke nce every hur.’ Other duties include reprting t headquarters twice each day，cutting firewd and s n.”可知，火灾警戒员值勤时会定期检查该地区。故选B项。
9．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Peter Naumann，a frmer fire watcher”可知，A项表述无误；根据第三段中的“While it might sund like a quiet life t sme”可知，B项表述无误；根据最后两段的内容可知，现在火灾警戒员仍然是需要的，所以D项表述无误；根据第四段第一句“It may seem surprising that the life f a fire watcher is very much the same all these years.”可知，火灾警戒员的生活这些年几乎是一样的，故C项表述与原文不符。故选C项。
10．D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，看起来可能让人惊讶的是，这些年来，火灾警戒员的生活几乎没有什么变化。甚至早期使用的许多技术今天仍在使用。例如，奥斯本寻火器是一种可以提供火灾位置的罗盘方向的工具。这种工具已经使用了近100年。由此可推断，提到了奥斯本寻火器为了显示火灾探测技术的变化不大。故选D项。
11．A 推理判断题。根据第五段诺曼所说的话可知，理想情况下，你应该找一个了解地形特征和天气状况的人。此外，火灾观测者还能看到卫星图像无法看到的东西，比如云与云之间的闪电和地面打击之间的区别。 由此可推断，导致了火灾警戒员不可替代的作用是因为技术可能无法完成某些任务。故选A项。

Alan Mathisn Turing was brn in England in 1912．Like many talents wh g n t d great things，Turing shwed his incredible intelligence frm a very yung age.In fact，by the time he was halfway thrugh primary schl，Turing’s teachers had already realised he was a mathematical genius.He culd d cmplex calculating in his head even thugh he had never been taught abut it.
Frtunately，Turing was the ppsite f Hawking，and he lved schl.Prf f this is the extreme lengths he wuld g just t get t class.Fr example，n ne ccasin when there was a train strike，Turing even cycled 60 miles t attend.Nw that’s devtin!
Hwever，in spite f Turing’s schlarly attitude and his bvius genius，his teachers had their cncerns abut his future.This is because well-knwn schls in Britain like the nes Turing attended regarded the classics，such as Latin and Greek as the mst imprtant，nt subjects like math and science.Turing’s prud teachers even wrte letters t his parents asking them t cnvince the yung man t fcus mre n the classics.Imagine hw different the wrld might be if the yung Turing had listened t his teachers! Thankfully，his lve fr all things scientific and mathematical meant there was n chance f that.
After finishing secndary schl，Turing cmpleted a degree in mathematics at King’s Cllege Cambridge，and then btained his PhD frm Princetn University in the USA．It was during these university years that he invented the Turing Machine，which is cnsidered by many peple t be the earliest versin f a cmputer prcessing unit.It sunds unbelievable that anybdy culd have invented smething which was similar t a cmputer in 1936．But that just shws hw far ahead f his time Alan Turing was，even when he was still a yung man.
( )12．What can be inferred abut Turing accrding t Paragraph 1—2?
A．He maintained interest in the classics.
B．He rejected attending famus schls.
C．He shwed a strng desire fr schling.
D．He ignred parents’ advice n curse selectin.
( )13．What des the writer think f the Turing Machine?
A．He argues it’s still limited in many functins.
B．He thinks it’s influential in cmputer histry.
C．He dubts if it is truly invented by a yung man.
D．He cnsiders the cnstructin f such machines impssible.
( )14．What is the authr’s main purpse in writing this passage?
A．T indicate the link between genius and success.
B．T illustrate the inventin f the Turing Machine.
C．T stress the impact f teachers’ guidance n Turing’s life.
D．T intrduce Turing’s genius，schlarly attitude and achievement.
( )15．What des Turing’s stry tell us?
A．Nthing great was ever achieved withut enthusiasm.
B．Ordinary peple hpe，while talented peple create.
C．Cntented with little，yet wishing fr mre.
D．Chances favur the minds that are prepared.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国的艾伦·马西森·图灵的天才、学术态度和成就。图灵的故事告诉我们：没有热情成就不了伟业。
12．C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Fr example，n ne ccasin when there was a train strike，Turing even cycled 60 miles t attend.Nw that’s devtin！”可知，他表现出上学的强烈愿望。故选C项。
13．B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It sunds unbelievable that anybdy culd have invented smething which was similar t a cmputer in 1936．But that just shws hw far ahead f his time Alan Turing was，even when he was still a yung man.”可知，作者认为图灵机在计算机历史上很有影响力。故选B项。
14．D 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其根据第一段“Like many talents wh g n t great things，Turing shwed his incredible intelligence frm a very yung age(像许多有才华的人一样，图灵在很小的时候就显示出了惊人的智慧。).”以及第三段中的“Hwever，in spite f Turing’s schlarly attitude and his bvius genius”以及最后一段中的“It was during these university years that he invented the Turing Machine，which is cnsidered by many peple t be the earliest versin f a cmputer prcessing unit(正是在大学期间，他发明了图灵机，这被许多人认为是计算机处理单元的最早版本。).”可知，本文写作目的是介绍图灵的天才、学术态度和成就。故选D项。
15．A 推理判断题。根据第二段以及最后一段中的“It sunds unbelievable that anybdy culd have invented smething which was similar t a cmputer in 1936．But that just shws hw far ahead f his time Alan Turing was，even when he was still a yung man(在1936年，居然有人能发明出类似于计算机的东西，这听起来令人难以置信。但这恰恰说明了艾伦·图灵在他的时代是多么的超前，甚至在他还年轻的时候。).”可知，图灵的故事告诉我们：没有热情成就不了伟业。故选A项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者结合自己做销售的经历介绍了如何实现自己的目标。
16．B 根据上文“I remember ding a lt f little useless things in my days as a sales persn. The main key t becming gd at sales is t spend the majrity f yur time selling(我记得我做销售的时候做过很多没用的小事情。擅长销售的关键是把你的大部分时间花在销售上。).”可知，上文说明了做销售的关键，本句应承接上文对此进行评价：这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情，并与下一句“But what did I spend my time ding？”形成转折，故B项“这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情。”符合语境。故选B项。
17．E 根据上文“But what did I spend my time ding? I rganised my desk，filed papers，made cntact sheets，set appintments with nn-decisin makers，learnt mre sales skills，etc(但我把时间花在了什么上呢？我整理我的桌子、整理文件、制作联系表、与非决策者约定时间并学习更多的销售技巧，等等。).”可知，作者并没有把大部分时间花在销售上，所以最后是失败。故E项“不用说，我做销售失败了。”符合语境。故选E项。
18．G 根据后文“The prblem is that many peple get int the habit f taking busy actin，things that just keep yu busy instead f bringing yu clser t yur gals(问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这些事情只会让你忙碌，而不是让你更接近你的目标。).”可知，后文提到了问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这不会更接近目标，可知本句是在说明接近目标、取得成功的做法：采取行动。故G项“你可能已经知道，成功的关键之一就是采取行动。”符合语境。故选G项。
19．A 根据后文“First，yu need t figure ut the tw r three things that are the mst imprtant t yur achievement. Then，schedule ut yur time s that yu are spending at least 70% f yur time dealing with thse things. Anything that isn’t part f thse imprtant things shuld be pushed t the end f the day r nt be wrked n at all if pssible(首先，你需要弄清楚对你的成就最重要的两到三件事。然后，安排好你的时间，这样你至少要花70%的时间来处理这些事情。任何与这些重要事情无关的事情都应该推到最后，或者如果可能的话就不要再做了。).”可知，后文介绍了实现目标的具体步骤，故A项“那么你该怎么做呢？”符合语境。故选A项。
20．F 根据上文“Being able t fcus yur actins n ding the few things that make the biggest impact n btaining yur end result is a skill(能够将你的行动集中在对你的最终结果产生最大影响的少数事情上是一种技能。).”以及后文“Yur gals will be achieved faster and yur life will imprve greatly. Cntinue wasting yur time n ding a lt f things that dn’t matter and yu’ll prbably be where yu are nw a year frm tday and that’s a regret yu can d withut(你的目标会更快地实现，你的生活也会大大改善。继续浪费你的时间在那些无关紧要的事情上，你可能会在一年后的今天成为现在的样子，这是一个你可以不后悔的遗憾。).”可知，上文提到了一项技能，推测本句承接上文说明这一技能的作用：一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人。故F项“一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人。”符合语境。故选F项。
