A
In the early part of the twentieth century, racism (种族歧视) was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897 1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she asked for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was refused because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for religious activities. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington D．C., the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed (反对) it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75，000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist (独唱) to sing in the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate (代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了美国黑人歌唱家玛丽安·安德生如何凭着自身实力和勤奋战胜了种族歧视，获得了事业上的成功。

2．Toscanini thought that Marian Anderson ________.(　　)
A．had a very rare (稀有的) voice
B．sang occasionally in public
C．sang only once in many years
D．was seldom heard by people

解析：推理判断题。由第二段“The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as ‘heard only once in a hundred years’．”可知Toscanini说她的嗓音是百年难得一见的，所以是稀少的，故选A。
3．Anderson's beautiful voice was first recognized ________．(　　)
A．at the Lincoln Memorial
B．in Washington D．C.
C．in Europe
D．at the United Nations
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由第一段倒数第二、三句“...she went to Europe...praised throughout Europe.”可知她的美妙的声音一开始是在欧洲被认可的。故选C。

One thing that seems to hold a lot of people back from setting and achieving big goals is the need for security (安全). Security is a feeling of certainty that everything is OK and that all your basic needs will be provided for. On the surface there's nothing wrong with that. It's great to feel secure. Abraham Maslow lists it as one of the basic human needs. If we don't feel secure, we can't move onto higher levels like love and achievement. If we have doubts about paying the rent at the end of the month, how can we possibly go after our really big dreams
So how is it that some people are able to start a new business while completely broke Do business risk takers simply have a lower need for security
If you read the stories of very successful people, you see a common pattern (模式) again and again—from an external (外部的) point of view, most of these people were not in a secure situation when they started going after their dreams. Sylvester Stallone was so broke that he had to sell his dog. Tony Robbins did his dishes in his bathroom because his small apartment had no kitchen. Brian Tracy was a day laborer. Og Mandino was a homeless drunk who went into libraries to stay warm. While some successful people start out with a lot of advantages, most don't.
Meanwhile, how is it that others who seem to be in a far more secure situation are paralyzed from taking action People who have some money in the bank, a nice home, and a highly paid job still don't feel secure. Meanwhile, others with far worse starting positions pass them by. Why
The reason isn't that some people need security more than others. I think everyone needs to feel secure. The difference, however, is that the successful risk takers define security internally (内部地) while others define security externally.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。安全感是一种人类与生俱来的需求，可是，成功人士与普通人对安全感的定义并不相同。
5．What's the first paragraph mainly about？(　　)
A．The importance of security.
B．The ways to achieve security.
C．The different kinds of security.
D．The advantages of having security.
答案：A
解析：段落大意题。第一段虽然也涉及安全感的定义，但是主要是说明安全感对我们的重要性。作者先指出安全感是“one of the basic human needs”，接下来又做出两种假设，来说明缺乏安全感的后果。因此A项正确。
6．The examples in Paragraph 3 show that many successful people ________．(　　)
A．had a low need for security
B．could get security very easily
C．started from a disadvantaged situation
D．went through difficulties on the road to success
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。由第三段可知，作者列举的都是一些成功人士，他们在刚开始都是穷困潦倒或处境艰难，由此判断C项正确。
7．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 4？(　　)
A．Prevented. B．Expected.
C．Protected. D．Encouraged.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。上文提到那些成功人士往往起步时处境极其艰难。根据下文可知，那些经济富足、处境优越的人依然感到不安全，也就是说他们不愿意采取行动去冒险，故A项正确。
8．How are those successful people different from common people in terms of security？(　　)
A．The way they achieve it.
B．The way they understand it.
C．The degree to which they feel it.
D．The degree to which they need it.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，那些成功的冒险者在内部定义安全感，而普通人则在外部定义安全感。这也是这两类人在安全感方面最大的区别，因此B项正确。
