Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be so successful in life? Everything flows just right for them.Whatever they touch turns to gold.They are the lucky ones.They are the ones with the great job, great salary, perfect love, and ideal life.You may have found yourself thinking, “Why them, and not me?”
One reason for success is the ability to make correct choices, and decisions.Successful people do that consistently.They make the kind of choices and decisions that lead to positive outcomes.It is based on information that goes far beyond what is learned and involves accessing accurate information from seemingly nowhere.This ability is intuition and highly successful people enjoy a higher degree of intuition than the average person.Where most people base their decision making only on their accumulated knowledge, successful people combine all they have learned together with what they sense with their intuition.Their ability to gather information is way ahead of the rest.
Everybody is intuitive, but not everybody trusts their intuition when it comes to making decisions.Most people don’t even believe they have intuition, so, it doesn’t even cross their minds to use it for problem solving.Even today, there are those who are afraid of their clairvoyant abilities.They have many misconceptions about clairvoyance, think it’s taboo, and something to suppress.Others believe they have it, have had experiences with it, but never knew it could be a valuable tool for problem solving.
“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery.There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.” Albert Einstein.
Intuition is actually a skill that can be developed and applied effectively for improving all areas of life.It is not a “gift” that only a few have.This is a misunderstanding since everyone has some degree of intuition, those really successful have extrasensory perception, and they use it all the time since it gives them an edge over the rest of the world they work with, compete with, and live with.
Your intuition has probably been a guiding force for you all of your life by having provided you with information that helped you reach positive outcomes.
This type of information tends to come from hunches, inspirational thoughts, dreams, or visions.It can, coincidentally, come from others, or from your inner voice.Often, it is an overwhelming feeling deep in the pit of your stomach, your gut, or your heart.No matter how the information comes to you, when applied, the outcome is usually positive, since it usually helps you move forward faster, helps you solve a problem or keeps you from making a mistake.Having a keen sense of intuition is desirable in every area of your life, and although many people don’t advertise their intuitive ability openly in fear of being ridiculed, they use it all the time.
Every person can benefit from having, and using, intuition.To be able to make correct choices and decisions in family, relationships, and business can add a tremendous advantage in life.

1.【选项释义】
1. Why can successful people make correct choices and decisions consistently? 1. 为什么成功人士总是能做出正确的选择和决定？
A. Because they are the lucky ones, and everything flows just right for them. A. 因为他们是幸运的人，一切都适合他们。
B. Because they have the ability of intuition. B. 因为他们有直觉的能力。
C. Because they can combine all they have learned together with what they sense with their intuition. C. 因为他们可以将他们所学到的与他们直觉感知到的结合起来。
D. Because they have adequate accumulated knowledge than average people. D. 因为与一般人相比他们有足够的知识积累。
【答案】C
【考查点】细节事实题。
【解题思路】根据第二段最后两句“大多数人只根据他们积累的知识来做决定，而成功人士则把他们所有所学的知识与他们直觉感知到的结合在一起。他们收集信息的能力远远领先于其他人。”可知，成功人士总是能做出正确的选择和决定是因为可以将他们所有学到的与他们直觉感知到的结合起来。所以C项“因为他们可以将他们所学到的与他们直觉感知到的结合起来”符合题意。
【干扰项排除】
A项“因为他们是幸运的人，一切都适合他们”中的everything表述太绝对，并且文中并没有提到成功人士是因为幸运而成功，该项过度推断；
B项“因为他们有直觉的能力”和D项“因为与一般人相比他们有足够的知识积累。”在第二段第五句话有表述，但是不能代表成功人士总是成功的原因，属于出处错位。
2.【选项释义】
2. According to Albert Einstein, which of the following statements is true? 2. 根据爱因斯坦，下列哪个陈述是正确的？
A. Intuition plays an important role on the road to discovery. A. 直觉在发现的道路上起着重要的作用。
B. Sometimes the solution comes to you without any effort. B. 有时你不需要任何努力就能找到解决方案。
C. Knowledge cannot play an important role on the road to discovery. C. 知识在发现的道路上不能起重要作用。
D. You don’t know how and why the intuition comes. D. 你不知道直觉是如何以及为什么产生的。
【答案】A
【考查点】推理判断题。
【解题思路】根据关键信息Albert Einstein定位到第四段的内容“在发现的道路上，智力几乎没有什么作用。意识会有一个飞跃，你可以称之为直觉，或者你想用的其它称呼，随之你会突然想到解决方案，而你却不知道是怎么回事，也不知道为什么。”可推断，选项A“直觉在发现的道路上扮演着重要的角色”符合原文。
【干扰项排除】
B项“有时你不需要任何努力就能找到解决方案”根据解题思路可知，直觉意识会找到一个解决方案，但这并不能说明不需要努力就能得到解决方案，所以该项曲解原文；
C项“知识在发现的道路上不能起重要作用”在原文也没有提及，属于无中生有；
D项“你不知道直觉是如何以及为什么产生的”根据解题思路可知，我们不知道的是解决方案是如何产生的，并不是直觉，该项张冠李戴。
3.【选项释义】
3. The phrase “edge over” (in Para. 5) means ______. 3 第五段“edge over”的意思是______。
A. very excited about somebody A. 对某人很感兴趣
B. to move somebody from their position or job gradually B. 使某人逐渐离开他们的职位或工作
C. an example of somebody C. 某人的一个例子
D. an advantage over somebody D. 胜过某人的优势
【答案】D
【考查点】词义推测题。
【解题思路】根据题干定位至第五段最后一句“这是一种误解，因为每个人都有某种程度的直觉，那些真正成功的人有超人的感知力，他们一直在使用它，因为这让他们比世界上其他和他们工作，竞争，和生活在一起的人edge over”可知，真正成功的人有比常人更超人的感知力，所以他们胜过世界上其他只有一定程度直觉的人，所以推测edge over的意思是指“胜过某人”，D项“胜过某人的优势”符合题意。
【干扰项排除】A项“对某人很感兴趣”、B项“使某人逐渐离开他们的职位或工作”和C项“某人的一个例子”根据解题思路可知，这三项属于曲解原文。
4.【选项释义】
4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is INCORRECT? 4. 根据文章，下列哪个陈述是不正确的？
A. Many outstanding people believe that intuition can do a great favor to people’s life. A. 许多优秀的人认为直觉对人们的生活有很大的帮助。
B. Some people use intuition but not advertise their intuition ability openly, because they think using intuition is ridiculous. B. 有些人使用直觉却不公开宣传自己的直觉能力，因为他们认为使用直觉是荒谬的。
C. Everybody has intuition, but not everyone uses it. C. 每个人都有直觉，但不是每个人都使用它。
D. People who use intuition have a greater ability to gather information than others. D. 使用直觉的人比其他人更有能力收集信息。
【答案】B
【考查点】推理判断题。
【解题思路】根据倒数第二段最后一句“……尽管许多人因为害怕被嘲笑而不敢公开宣扬他们的直觉能力，但他们一直在使用它”可知，他们是害怕被嘲笑而不是自己觉得荒谬，所以B项“有些人使用直觉却不公开宣传自己的直觉能力，因为他们认为使用直觉是荒谬的”不符合原文但符合题干，该题选择B项。
【干扰项排除】
A项“许多优秀的人认为直觉对人们的生活有很大的帮助”根据第五段首句“直觉实际上是一种可以开发和有效应用于改善生活各个领域的技能”可知，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰；
C项“每个人都有直觉，但不是每个人都使用它”根据第三段首句“每个人都有直觉，但不是每个人在做决定时都相信自己的直觉”可知，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰；
D项“使用直觉的人比其他人更有能力收集信息”根据第二段最后两句“大多数人的决策只基于他们积累的知识，而成功的人将他们所学到的与直觉感知到的结合起来。他们收集信息的能力远远领先于其他人。”可知，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰。
5.【选项释义】
5. The main purpose of the passage is ______. 5. 文章的主要目的是______。
A. to emphasize the importance of intuition A. 强调直觉的重要性
B. to demonstrate the difference between the successful people and average person B. 论证成功人士和普通人的区别
C. to describe how people can be successful C. 描述人们是如何成功的
D. to explain the needs of ability to make correct choice D. 解释做出正确选择的能力的需要
【答案】A
【考查点】主旨大意题。
【解题思路】通读全文可知，本文首先提到了直觉对成功人士的影响，如第二段第五句“这种能力就是直觉，非常成功的人比一般人拥有更高程度的直觉”，然后后面几段都是在阐述直觉的作用，说明直觉对所有人的生活都会产生影响，也就是强调直觉的重要性，所以A项“强调直觉的重要性”符合题意。
【干扰项排除】B项“论证成功人士和普通人的区别”、C项“描述人们是如何成功的”和D项“解释做出正确选择的能力的需要”在文中只是部分提及，属于以偏概全。
