开始时间2018年05月21日星期一11:46题目1题干Three Kinds of GoalsThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the beliefin your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.回答正确答案是：BA. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. if we complete the short-term goalsC. if we have dreams of the future2. New short-term goals are built upon _____.回答正确答案是：AA. the goals that have been completedB. your achievement in a weekC. current activities3. When we complete each step of our goals, _____.回答正确答案是：CA. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we will build up our confidence to achieve success4. What is the main idea of this passage?_____回答正确答案是：CA. Life is a dynamic thing.B. We should set up long-term goals.C. Different kinds of goals in life.5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?_________回答正确答案是：AA. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.B. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.C. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.题目2题干It was anniversary and Ria was waiting for her husband to show up. After some years of marriage things changed between them. Once cute couple who couldn’t live without each other now had turned bit bitter. Ria was waiting to see if Manoj remembered that it was their wedding anniversary. As the door bell rang she ran toward the door and opened it with a smile and a bunch of flowers to greet her husband. Both started to celebrate.Suddenly the phone in the bedroom rang.Ria went to pick it up. On call there was a man who said, “Hello ma’am I am calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Manoj Kumar number?”She replied, “Yes it is!”“I am sorry mam but there has been an accident and a man died. We got this number from his wallet. Can you please come and identify the body?”the man replied.Ria was shocked! “But my husband is with me here. How could this happen?”She thought to herself. She had read stories about souls returning to meet their loved ones after their death before it leaves. Her heart sank. In fear she ran towards the other room to look for her husband. But he was not there.She said to herself. “It’s true! He left me forever. Oh God I can die to have another chance to mend for every fight we had. I lost my chance forever.”She fell on floor in pain.Suddenly there was noise from the bathroom, the door opened and Manoj came out and said, “Darling, I forgot to tell you this morning my handbag was stolen.”Life might not give you second chance.

A robot can autonomously shovel snow, collect leaves and cut grass.“We’re trying to help people not spend time on yard work,”said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their free time with their family.”The electric robot can run by itself in right directions with the help of two beacons (信号塔) that must be placed in the yard. The robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor (超声传感器) that Waelbers said would stop quickly when it finds pets and people.Owners of the robot will need to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it’s going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard –taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes. By doing this, the robot is taught how long and wide the lawn is, and won’t accidentally destroy your rose bush or run to the neighborhood.Once this setup is complete, and the $3,999 robot has been trained on where to cut grass, rake leaves and shovel snow, it operates without any supervision.Waelbers has always loved to build robots and play with electronics. He started work on a high-tech company after his father asked him to make a robot that would shovel snow for him. Waelbers plans to start sales in early 2017.26. This article mainly talks about _________.回答正确答案是：AA. a newly-designed robotB. The founder of a companyC. problems with a new product27. According to Steven Waelbers, the robot is designed to _________.回答正确答案是：CA. encourage people to do exerciseB. help people keep healthy and fitC. make people enjoy family time28. The robot would stop in front of pets and people thanks to _________.回答正确答案是：BA. the remote controllerB. the ultrasound sensorC. the big and square yard29. Which of the following steps should be done in the first place?回答正确答案是：AA. The owner must wheel the robot around the yard by himself.B. The robot learns and stores the length and width of the lawn.C. The robot operates the task it’s going to take without supervision.30. Which of the following about Waelbers is TRUE？回答正确答案是：CA. He didn’t love building robots when he was a young boy.B. His father asked him to make a robot that could play balls.C. He is starting to sell this snow-shoveling robot in early 2017.。

It describes the need for people to continue their education and train ing throughout their lives. Lifelong learning is more and more important for everyone because people are now facing different career choices in changing economies. It is believed lifelong learning is a crucial response to the challenges of the global knowledge economy. Currently, most universities have reacted to the era of lifelong learning by adding new programs and services for adults who seek to combine employment with part-time study Special arrangements have been developed for these students but the core activity of the university, providing teaching to full-time young undergraduates, often goes on much as before.Lifelong learning is both formal and non-formal; and the boundaries between face-to-face teaching and distance education are increasingly blurred.By making learning possible anytime and anywhere, distance education is a powerful tool for supporting lifelong learning. Technology-based teaching is creating new educational systems that anyone from anywhere can access. The key challenge for universities is to evolve from a teacher-centered model of education to student-centered model. The challenge for governments is that they have to develop new funding approaches and new quality assessment procedures.操作提示：句子正确选择下拉选项框为“T”；句子错误选择下拉选项框为“F”。

—How do you feel about your family life?—.正确答案是：Not bad. I think it is a good choice to be a full-time mother.—Do you have much experience with caring for babies?—.正确答案是：Yes, I do. I often take care of kids in my free time.This movie is ________ that one.正确答案是：as interesting asLily is a good student except ________ she is a little bit careless.正确答案是：thatWe often compare children ______ flowers.正确答案是：toMost couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have children. Several years ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples consider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all. According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children –a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women who had given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006.The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America today. This comprises 20% of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.1. Several years ago, people thought that having big families wasA. uncommon and this was seen as an advantageB. common and this was seen as a disadvantageC. common and this was seen as an advantage2. By 1986, taken together, women were still more likely to have hadchildren.A. lessC. no3. In recent years, women were more likely to have hadA. three or four childrenB. more childrenC. fewer children4. According to the passage, we can predict that the number of family with a single child will回A. decreased dramaticallyB. increased dramaticallyC. remained steady5. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Families Having Fewer Children Nowadays.B. Couples Having More Children Nowadays.C. Women Being Likely to Have More Children.形考二—How do you feel about your family life?—.正确答案是：Not bad. I think it is a good choice to be a full-time mother.—It's raining so heavily outside.

If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning.

You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect –taking into consideration things like their age –it can make a big difference.You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath.

They would state their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terraist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it. ”Ali and four other men are accused of killing nearly 3,000 people in the nation's deadliest terrorist attack. The U.S. Justic e Department announced earlier this month that they will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site.Ali is also known as Ammar al-Baluchi. He is a nephew of claimed 9/11 planner, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain “their assessment of American foreign policy,n Fenstermaker said."Their assessment is negative, ” he said.Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others. But he said the men have discussed the trial among themselves.Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sunday's editions.Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder decided to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse. It has warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform.Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt to use the trial to express their views, “we believe the cou rts and the federal judge may govern the trial. The course of justice will be led appropriately and with minimal break, as federal courts have done in the past."1.The five men thought that the U.S. foreign policy should be blamed for the 911 attack.

F5.We can infer from the article that the prisoners also have their freedom to express their own views in the U.S.A T 选择题（每题10分）选择题Alternative Legal Billing 一Win StrategiesHourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old "bill by the hour" deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.Project billing for routine issuesIf your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.Results-oriented optionsu Pay-according-to-success v is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of yourcounsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.Multi-layered tasksIf you're shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average" rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate.Legal “Insurance”The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock This approach works like a legal insurance policy.

Anew study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素)by about 30 percent Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight gain.The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there1 "an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight," says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. But Americans don't seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, isgetting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average.So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group ofcolleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young, thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. "For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady. Then, a month later, they came back for four additional nightsbut this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours ofsleep per night. And after each visit, researchers got a sample of their fat. Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. "I was very surprised to be honest/9 he says.Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. "Fat cells are actually your friend," he says. “They're there to store lipids （血月旨）." When lipids stay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you f re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. "However, when fat cells stare to become insulin resistant, the lipids star to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream/9 Brady says.1.According to the passage, lack of sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT AA.heart disease2.The main idea of the third paragraph is C.C.how the research was conducted3.What does the “leach” in the last paragraph probably mean?

The studyfollowed more than 3,000 babiesinto adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightlyhigher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula〔配方奶粉〕 .“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, ” says Bernardo LessaHorta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This is especially true in poor countries,where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby givenformula in developing countries is 14 times morelikely to die inthe first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby'sIQ〔智商〕 by a few points. But a recent study with siblings〔兄弟姐妹〕 found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn't follow childreninto adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. SoHorta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now intheir 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scoresthat were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they weremaking, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year andhad monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1. From the passage, we learn that Horta AA. is from Brazil2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned? BB. They were happier3. Which of the following is TRUE? CC. Horta's research project lasted about 30 years4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to CC. polluted5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage? CC. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of Success。
