(东北师范大学附属中学月考)
What could be better than starting the year with hope and promises for being more successful,more productive,or more loving?This will be the year to take big steps,to make big changes,and to achieve big goals.
__1__The biggest argument against setting New Year's plans comes from a research that shows that among the people who set New Year's plans,less than10percent actually achieve them.More than50percent of people can't even remember what they were when you ask them later in the year.
No matter which side you stand on,you will be right.__2__Here are some reasons that you should consider while deciding whether to make plans this year：
You like filling your brain with some extra motivation.Be actively engaged in a goal.__3__We seem to be getting as much pleasure from chasing our dreams as we do from achieving them.
__4__Stating the same goals year after year means that these are important areas in your life,and that you want to see yourself making progress and improving.That you haven't achieved it yet means that your approach needs to be changed.Set the goal or goals again this year,and change your approach.
You want to get things done.__5__From daily things,like getting out of bed to go to work in the morning to once­in­a­lifetime things like visiting the Great Wall of China,we get things done when we treat them like goals that need to be achieved.
A．So start working on your goals now.
B．You have been setting the same goals for years.
C．Just make sure that you are right for the right reasons.
D．This will give us a lot of happiness regardless of the outcome.
E．Knowing the end goal of anything sets our wheels in the move.

G．The arguments about whether we should make New Year's plans have already begun.
本文主要谈论的是制订新年计划时应该考虑的一些因素。

1．G解析：根据后面的The biggest argument against setting New Year's plans可知，本段主要谈论的是“关于我们是否应该制订新年计划的辩论已经开始”。

2．C解析：无论你站在哪一边，你都是对的，只是要确保你有正确的合适的理由。

以下是做出计划时应考虑的一些因素。

3．D解析：根据后面的as much pleasure from chasing our dreams 可知，积极追求目标，不管结果如何都会给我们快乐，我们似乎从追逐梦想中获得了很多的乐趣。

4．B解析：根据后面的Stating the same goals year after year和Set the goal or goals again this year可判断出，本段主要谈论的是“你已经设定了相同的目标多年”。

5．E解析：根据段落主题句You want to get things done和From daily things...可知，E项“知道任何事情的最终目标会使我们行动起来”符合语境。

Ⅳ.短文改错
(华东师范大学附属中学模拟考试)
With the National College Entrance Exam draws near,I feel more and more nervously.I know that my parents depend on myself to realize their dream.Over the past few years,I had been working hard so as to
live up their expectations.I know how disappointing they will be if I should fail the exam.I asked my teacher for some advices.He said,“That doesn't matter whether you can be admitted to a key university,and there will be nothing to regret as long as you have tried your best.”His words encouraged me a lot of.I will face every single day with a smile so I believe I will be a winner.
答案与解析
1．draws→drawing考查非谓语动词。

这里是with的复合结构，with＋名词短语＋分词作状语；逻辑主语the National College Entrance Exam与动词draw为主动关系，故应用现在分词。

2．nervously→nervous考查形容词与副词用法。

feel后面跟形容词作表语。

3．myself→me考查代词。

myself为反身代词，只有主语是I 时，宾语用myself。

4．had→have over the past few years为现在完成时的标志。

5．live up后加to考查动词短语。

live up to为固定短语，意思是“实践(诺言等)，不辜负”。

6．disappointing→disappointed考查非谓语动词。

从后面的fail 可知这里表达“感到失望”，因此用disappointed；如果表达“令人失望”，则用disappointing。

7．advices→advice考查名词的单复数形式。

advice是不可数名词，没有复数形式。

8．That→It考查代词。

It在这里是形式主语，真正的主语是后面whether引导的从句，而that不可以作形式主语。

9．去掉of考查短语。

a lot在这里作状语，修饰encourage，而a lot of只可以作定语，修饰名词。

10．so→and考查行文逻辑。

and前后为并列的动作，这里不表达因果关系，因此把so改为and。

Ⅴ.书面表达
