is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co﹣author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sisters ﹣Eri,a model who either won't or can′t stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn′t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world′s population,a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.(1)Who does "I" refer to in the text?A.Stephen King.B.Gillian Flynn.C.Jo Usmar.D.Roald Dahl.(2)Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A.Cosmopolitan.B.Matilda.C.After Dark.D.The Stand.(3)What kind of book is Gone Girl?A.A folk tale.B.A biography.C.A love story.D.A horror story.12.(8分)"Y ou can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it."This was an actual reply froma parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids'lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that hiskids aren't even on…At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,"Alright.Yes,I'll do it."I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end﹣of﹣season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community (社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense,I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?(1)What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?A.She knows little about the club.B.She isn't good at sports.C.She just doesn't want to volunteer.D.She's unable to meet her schedule.(2)What does the underlined phrase"tug at the heartstrings"in paragraph 2 mean?A.Encourage teamwork.B.Appeal to feelings.C.Promote good deeds.D.Provide advice.(3)What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A.She gets interested in lacrosse.B.She is proud of her kids.C.She'll work for another season.D.She becomes a good helper.(4)Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A.It gives her a sense of duty.B.It makes her very happy.C.It enables her to work hard.D.It brings her material rewards.13.(8分)Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself,quietly reading her e﹣book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading?None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time.And like more Americans,she's not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent,according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out.Alone,but together,you know?" Bechtel said,looking up from her book.Bechtel,who works in downtown West Palm Beach,has lunch with coworkers sometimes,but like many of us,too often works through lunch at her desk.A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder.She retuns to work feeling energized."Today,I just wanted some time to myself,"she said.Just two seats over,Andrew Mazoleny,a local videographer,is finishing his lunch at the bar.He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first﹣name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流)."I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,"he said,"It's a chance for self﹣reflection.You return to workrecharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one,but those days are over.Now,we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table."It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt,whose company provided the statistics for the report.(1)What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A.Food variety.B.Eating habits.C.Table manners.D.Restaurant service.(2)Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A.To meet with her coworkers.B.To catch up with her work.C.To have some time on her own.D.To collect data for her report.(3)What do we know about Mazoleny?A.He makes videos for the bar.B.He's fond of the food at the bar.C.He interviews customers at the bar.D.He's familiar with the barkeeper.(4)What is the text mainly about?A.The trend of having meals alone.B.The importance of self﹣reflection.C.The stress from working overtime.D.The advantage of wireless technology.14.(8分)Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.The microorganisms(微生物)from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station,so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem?It's turning to a bunch of high school kids.But not just any kids.It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms,like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport,New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.For the past two years,Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity,and they think they're close to a solution(解决方案)."We don't give the students any breaks.They have to do it just like NASA engineers," says Florence Gold,a project manager."There are no tests,"Gordon says."There is no graded homework.There almost are no grades,other than ‘Are you working towards your goal ?'

This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.(1).Like the child on the diving board,you will stay undecided.(2).More than that,how should you staymotivated to achieve the goal?First,you need to evaluate yourself,your values,your strengths,your weaknesses,your achievements,your desires,etc.Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work.(3).So,slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity (清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives,keeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible.(4).They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough.(5).You should reassess your goals,and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties,some planned,but most unplanned.Y ou cannot overcome them withoutample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However,this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation,you can neither set a goal nor reach it.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.16.(30分)It's about 250 miles from the hills of west﹣central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota.During the long trip home,followinga weekend of hunting,Ehlers(1)about the small dog hehad seen (2)alongside the road.He had (3)to coax(哄)the dog to him but,frightened,it had (4).Back home,Ehlers was troubled by that (5)dog.So,four days later,he called his friend Greg,and the two drove (6).After a long and careful (7),Greg saw,across a field,the dog moving (8)away.Ehlerseventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him.Nervousness and fear were replaced with (9).It just started licking (舔)Ehlers' face.A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one (10)as lost in the local paper.The ad had a (11)number for a town in southern Michigan.Ehlers (12)the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had (13)their dog.Jeff had (14)in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog,Rosie,but the gun shots had scared the dog off.Jeff searched (15)for Rosie in the next four days.Ehlers returned to Minnesota,and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan."It's good to know there's still someone out there who (16)enough to go to that kind of (17)," says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue (18)."I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as (19)to it as I am to my dogs,"says Ehlers."If it had been my dog,I'd hope that somebody would be (20)to go that extra mile."(1)A.read B.forgot C.thought D.heard(2)A.fighting B.trembling C.eating D.sleeping (3)A.tried B.agreed C.promised D.regretted(4)A.calmedB.stood up C.rolled over D.run offdow(5)A.injured B.stolen C.lost D.rescued (6)A.home B.past C.back D.onB.explanation C.test D.search (7)A.preparation(8)A.cautiously B.casually C.skillfully D.angrily (9)A.surprise B.joy C.hesitation D.anxiety (10)A.predicted B.advertised C.believed D.recorded (11)A.house B.phone C.street D.car(12)A.called B.copied C.counted D.remembered (13)A.fed B.adopted C.found D.cured (14)A.hunted B.skied C.lived D.workedB.on time C.in turn D.in vain (15)A.onpurpose(16)A.cares B.sees C.suffers D.learns (17)A.place B.trouble C.waste D.extreme (18)A.service B.plan C.effort D.team (19)A.equal B.allergic C.grateful D.close (20)A.suitable B.proud C.wise D.willing第二节(每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

C听力录音稿(Text 1)W: Excuse me, sir. Visiting hours are over now. Your wife must get some rest. M: Oh, I’m sorry, doctor. I didn’t hear the bell or I would have left earlier. (Text 2)M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?W: We’ll need you to join the gym, and then you can find out which classes fit your schedule the best.(Text 3)W: I’ll see you at the theater.M: Better still. Let’s meet in the Red Lion Bar to have a nice little talk.W: Good idea. And I’d love to have a drink there.(Text 4)M: Hello, my name is John Arber, and I’m calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday’s .W: Yes, the position is still open. You could come over and have a talk with us. (Text 5)M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me? W: Thanks, but I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.(Text 6)W: Did you know James went out of business?M: Really? When was that?W: Last month.M: That’s too bad. He had owned that business for fifteen years. What happened?W: I don’t know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young. One is thirteen, and the other is ten.M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.W: I hope so.(Text 7)W: Guess what! My mother’s decided to go back to school.M: Why?W: Well, she always loved art but learned business administration at college, because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.M: So she wants to study art now?W: Yeah, oil painting. It’s been her dream for a long time.M: It’s nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation. Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.W: You know, she retired last year. And I’m leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do.M: Well, maybe, if it’s what she wants.(Text 8)M: Dear listeners, for today’s show I have with me my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years. Mary, welcome to our show. W: It’s a pleasure to be here.M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become a reporter?W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choice of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.M: How did they do that?W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have — one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I’ve always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.M: What about your mother?W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.(Text 9)M: We all know that exercise is good for us, but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much.W: Don’t be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.M: Mm, interesting.W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well too, lowering their death risk by 14%.M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that like what I probably do. Does that help?W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.(Text 10)W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white.They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic. Biologist student Hannah tells the broadcaster, “The youngsters’feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed.As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads.” Biologist Christan says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.。
