Question

【题目】 Do what you love and love what you do, and success will come? Well, we wish. 【1】It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.

Passion is just emotion; care is an action.

Wishing hard and wanting something really badly won’t give you anything. Passion is a barely controllable emotion, and emotion is not always reliable. 【2】

In today’s world where people always talk about finding your passion, it still seems vague (模糊的) to many. On the other hand, if you’re asked to find something you care about, it’s easier for you to take action.

【3】

There’s a lot of work to do besides being enthusiastic. For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting. 【4】The belief that you’ll do it well anyway as long as you like it is just an illusion.

Learn not just what you care about, but what’s around that too.

When you’ve got your focus, try to map out the skills you need to get better at that. When you have the learning plan ready, apply that course you need, get yourself the tools required and start learning and practicing.

Success is a way to go, but you can start right now.

【5】But if you’ve already got your passion, it will be good enough to make that your foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take actions, Instead of passively letting your passion wander around, be active and do something that will push you forward.

A.Care is different, it implies actions.

B.“Like it” doesn’t mean “Good at it”.

C.Passion alone doesn’t guarantee success.

D.However, reality is not as simple as we want it to be.

E.You are good at something and you need the world to know.

F.Desire to make a difference in the world with your strengths.

G.To become an expert, you need to be always learning and improving your skill.

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了激情在成功路上的作用，但是要想在任何事情上取得成功，光有激情是不够的。文章主要说明了在成功路上除激情之外，还需要的一些其他因素。

【1】

根据后文It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.可知要想在任何事情上取得成功，光有激情是不够的。由此可知，上文提到的“做你热爱的事，热爱你所做的事，成功就会到来”的想法只是我们所希望的，现实并不是想象的那么简单。故D选项“然而，现实并不像我们想的那样简单”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【2】

根据小标题Passion is just emotion; care is an action.(激情只是情感；关心是一种行动)以及上文 Passion is a barely controllable emotion, and emotion is not always reliable.可知激情是一种几乎无法控制的情感，情感并不总是可靠的。由此可知，关心意味着要行动。故A选项“关心是不同的，它意味着行动”符合上下文语境，故选A。

【3】

根据后文中For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting.可知例如，你可以对绘画充满热情，但是如果你没有任何的艺术感和绘画技巧，你很难成为一个绘画专家。由此可知，本段主要旨在说明喜欢一件事情并不意味着你擅长做这件事。故B选项““喜欢”并不意味着“擅长””符合上下文语境，故选B。

【4】

根据上文For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting.可知例如，你可以对绘画充满热情，但是如果你没有任何的艺术感和绘画技巧，你很难成为一个绘画专家。以及后文The belief that you’ll do it well anyway as long as you like it is just an illusion.可知相信只要你喜欢就会做得很好只是一种幻觉。由此可知，本句承接上文说明要想成为专家，需要不断学习和提高技能，也不是空想。故G选项“要成为专家，你需要不断学习和提高你的技能”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【5】

根据后文But if you’ve already got your passion, it will be good enough to make that your foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take actions, Instead of passively letting your passion wander around, be active and do something that will push you forward.可知但是如果你已经有了你的激情，那就足够让它成为你继续前进的基础和动力了。开始规划你需要的技能并采取行动，而不是被动地让你的激情四处游荡，积极地做一些能推动你前进的事情。由此可知，后文but表示转折，说明仅仅有激情并不能保证成功，但是激情可以成为你继续前进的基础和动力。故C选项“仅仅有激情并不能保证成功”符合上下文语境，故选C。
