Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了每个人都想成功，但究竟怎么样才可以成功呢？作者在文章中给出了成功人士提出的成功四要素．

解答 36．G．推理判断题．本句属于连接上下文的承上启下句．文章接下来的四部分都是这些成功人物给出的关于如何取得成功的建议，所以D项"Here are some keys to success that they give．"符合上下文串联，把第一段和下面四部分联系在一起；故选G．
37．D．推理判断题．根据横线前句"In fact，when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success，you're giving away your own power．"当你说外界的事物阻止你取得成功，你就是在放弃你自己的权力．也就是说你让其他事物影响你的内心了．故D项正确．
38．A．推理判断题．根据横线前句It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away说明很多人都是在没有计划的情况下就开始的，那么就好像是在一个完全不熟悉的路上开车一样，所谓预则立，所以我们做任何事情，都要有一个详细的计划．故选A．
39．F．推理判断题．根据后文If you are not willing to pay the price，you won't get anything valuable可知你必须愿意付出代价；故选F．
40．B．推理判断题．根据后文When you are doing something，you must tell yourself again and again可知在我们看来，每个人都知道这一点，但说起来容易做起来难；故选B．

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
