阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到试卷规定的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。      [1] Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success...Yet too many people fail to achieve their
goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason.
     [2] It"s true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives, though no fault of their own, which
may make them feel upset. Generally speaking, however, getting what you really want out of life is just a
matter of the following three simple steps.
    [3] Firstly, you have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes; try to focus
on one thing at a time. If you"re not sure about where you want to go, you"d better think it over first and not
hurry to perform.
     [4] Secondly, ___________. This will be your map for getting from"where you are now" to "where you
want to go". You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you
want a better job, start with a skills assessment and maybe some extra training. Then you"ll need to sell
yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new one.
     [5] Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get
there. Not to worry, though, books, biographies and such, can be of great help.
     [6] The third and final step is to carry it out. Do what you planned. Take the steps you outlined on your
road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them.
     [7] Never give up the goal. Keep pushing. Whatever you do, do not lose heart before you have what you
desire in your hands. Never think that you can"t turn your dream into a reality. 1. What does the author mainly want to tell us? (within 10 words)

2. What should you do when deciding what you want according to the text? (within 8 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________

阅读理解。 Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the
time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the
language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make
his language like other people"s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do
without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those
of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to
find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would
never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out,
with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether
this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him
correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help
the child when he tells us that he can"t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all
educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they
know or do not know. 1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _____. A. listening to skilled people"s advice
B. asking older people many questions
C. making mistakes and having them corrected
D. doing what other people do 2. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do? A. Give children correct answers.
B. Allow children to make mistakes.
C. Point out children"s mistakes to them.
D. Let children mark their own work. 3. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____. A. allow children to learn from each other
B. point out children"s mistakes whenever found
C. correct children"s mistakes as soon as possible
D. give children more book knowledge 4. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _____.A. different from learning other skills
B. the same as learning skills
C. more important than other skills
D. not really important skills

阅读理解。     I"m going to show you how to be a public speaker that everyone wants to hear. Surprisingly most people
are extremely scared of public speaking. I think it really boils down to the fact that most people don"t get it
taught in school or by their parents. I"m going to show you how you can look like a great speaker if you apply
these techniques.
     If you really want to be liked by people as a speaker, telling stories is probably the best asset(资源) you can
have. It is a very effective tool of communication that dates back to the cavemen paintings on walls. Human
beings relate to stories they hear. You can use these stories to get a specific feeling out of your audience. You
can tell a story where you emphasize how"heroic" you are and people will feel that way. You can also use a
story to really get people involved in the speech because it is interesting. Throwing facts at people, no matter
how accurate, isn"t going to make people like you as a speaker.
     You should definitely have a call to action and a purpose to your speech. You don"t want to end up being a
speaker who just talks about stuff for the sake of talking. There needs to be an underlining purpose for
everything said and a call to action on this purpose. If you"re talking about hurricane relief, you have to have a
purpose of what you"re trying to get across and let people out there know how they can start helping. This is
how to be a public speaker that everyone likes.
     Having some visual effects can really make you succeed as a great public speaker. If you"re talking about
poverty in a third world country, a picture is going to have a much bigger impact than any word. 1. The author"s purpose in writing the passage is to tell us ______. A. that people are scared of public speaking
B. that people are usually too embarrassed to speak
C. how to be a public speaker that everyone likes
D. how to get rid of our shyness in schools 2. Why are most people extremely scared of public speaking according to the author?A. Because they are very nervous when speaking.
B. Because the audience are usually hard to satisfy.
C. Because the audience are always laughing at people.
D. Because they don"t get it taught how to be a good speaker. 3. You can tell a story in a speech to _______. A. highlight your purpose
B. make your facts accurate
C. get people involved in the story
D. get a specific feeling out of your audience4. A good speech usually contains all of the following EXCEPT _______. A. a clear purpose
B. a call to action
C. some pictures
D. a long list of facts 5. This article will most probably be of interest to _______. A. workers
B. teachers
C. dustmen

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（注意字数要求）       A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an
appointment.
     The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry
and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be
regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever
wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as other"s. The unpunctual person is always
complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the
man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows
that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has
to be attended to.
     Failure to be punctual in keeping one"s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is
invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him; Usually
this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
     Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one"s duty, whether public or" private,
Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at
the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow
men. 1. What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每空格1个单词。      Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This
kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for
years, Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
     The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and
does not require any special attention, The second kind, situation-for example, family problem, the death of a
loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems. such as
headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
     The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of
"temporary") usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual
loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely
people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
      Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person"s social contacts, for example,
friends, family members. co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons; For instance, our
families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar
interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social
contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more, They question their popularity.
     Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and
unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease,
while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
