當前位置： 2022年內(nèi)蒙古包頭四中高考英語四模試卷> 試題詳情

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
    I've been reading 100 books per year on average during the past decade.So obviously I get the usual question of what books I recommend.Well here're my top 4 favorite books of all times，which influenced me into who I am today.
    1.Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.One of the biggest bestsellers of all times.Napoleon Hill spent two decades analyzing over 500 successful men like Henry Ford，Thomas Edison and John D.Rockefeller to discover how they did it.The result of Hill's research is in Think & Grow Rich--13 steps to achieve your goal，whatever it is.All other self-help books are just copies of Hill's book first published in 1937.
    2.Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.Another bestseller and the only self-help book you'll need next to Think & Grow Rich.Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was amazed that some patients still felt ugly after surgery.That's when he discovered they also needed reconstruction work inside—their "self-image".Everything about how to use the "mind-body" connection to achieve your goals，and how to feel confident about your body is inside this book.
    3.Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin.This book drives the point home that success in any field is not determined by genetics or talent but deliberate （刻意的） practice.Colvin uses examples from world class achievers like Tiger Woods，Jack Welch，Warren Buffet，Mozart to prove that they all got theirs through years of practice—the 10，000 hours rule.You'll reexamine your beliefs about what it takes to succeed and supercharge your motivation after reading Colvin's book.
    4.Mastery by George Leonard.This book also stresses that practice is the secret of success in anything.Leonard explains that mastership never ends--you will never have perfect technique and be able to stop.Instead you'll keep learning，improving，and hitting plateaus（瓶頸期）.The big point in Mastery is that plateaus are vital for improving your skills and that you therefore must start enjoying them instead of getting impatient or quitting like most guys do.

1．The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago．Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest （抗議） poems on buildings．Modern graffiti （涂鴉藝術） seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s，and by the late sixties it had reached New York．The new art form really took off in the 1970s，when people began writing their names，or "tags"，on buildings all over the city．In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window，because the trains were completely covered in spray （噴射） paintings known as masterpieces．
   In the early days，the "taggers" were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory （領地）．They worked in groups called "crews" and called what they did "writing"-the term "graffiti" was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer．Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies．But at the same time when it began to be regarded as an art form，John Lindsay，the then mayor of New York，declared the first war on graffiti．By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught，and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings．
   The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on．Peter Vallone，a New York city councilor （顧問），thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art，but if it is on someone else's property it becomes a crime． "I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there，" he said recently， "and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins．" On the other hand，F(xiàn)elix，a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City，says that artists are reclaiming （開拓，改造） cities for the public from advertisers，and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier．
   For decades graffiti has been a springboard （跳板） to international fame for a few．Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s．The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils （模板），often making political or humorous points．Works by Banksy have been sold for over ￡ 100，000．Graffiti is now sometimes big business．
