During these past few days I have been reflecting a lot on everything that happened this past year and thinking of what I can do differently so that the coming year will be much better! Here I want to share some tips so you can also do your resolution and you can achieve them all!
●Be realistic: You should always try to reach for the skies with your goals, but things like “I want to win the lottery(彩票)”or “I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month” are things you shouldn't have on your list because they will only become frustrations.
●Be detailed: It's a lot easier to accomplish more specific plans than general ones.Instead of writing “I want to lose weight，”put things like “I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year” or “I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.” When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.
●Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gym as one of your annual plans.During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that you couldn't because you came home so tired from work.If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how you're going to achie ve it.For example, “I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.” That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.
●Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is very important that all of your plans are for YOU to accomplish, and it is important that you write them down that way.If one of your goals this coming year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed.For example, “I will call my sister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middle of the year.”
Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will accomplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me all of this love and support during the next.Happy new year!
【语篇解读】作者通过对过去一年的得失总结，告诫人们：制定切实可行的计划，实现自己的目标，让自己的每一年成为最好的一年。

4．Why isn't “I want to win the lottery” recommended as a New Year plan?
A．Because it is very likely to fail.
B．Because it is too easy to realize.
C．Because it is not big enough as a goal.
D．Because it is not easier than losing weight.
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第二段中“things like ‘I want to win the lottery(彩票)’ or ‘I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month’ are things you shouldn't have on your list because they will only become frustrations”像一些事情“我想赢彩票”或“一个月减掉80磅”，这样的事情不应该出现在你的计划中，因为它们只会使你变得沮丧。

故选A。

【答案】 A
5．The underlined word “commit” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word________.
A．devote B．determine
C．adjust D．force
【解析】词义猜测题。

根据第三段最后一句“When we put down concrete activities, we commit ourselves to them and it becomes a lot harder to come up with excuses.”当我们放下具体的活动，我们全身心的投入到他们中，它变得越来越和借口不相符了。

故选A。

【答案】 A
6．When you failed to accomplish your plan last year, you're advised to ________.
A．take action instead of writing it down
B．give up the same plan this year
C．put down the way to realize it
D．stop making any plans
【解析】细节理解题。

故选C。

【答案】 C
7．According to the passage, which of the following is the best plan?
A．I will become a millionaire in one month.
B．I want to be the champion of the marathon.
C．I will change all of my bad habits in one week.
D．I will go for a walk after supper in working days.
【解析】常识判断题。

A.“I will become a millionaire in one month.”一个月变成百万富翁。

排除A项；B．“I want to be the champion of the marathon.”我想成为马拉松冠军。

根据文章内容也不切合实际，排除B项；C.“I will change all of my bad habits in one week.”一周内我将改变我的所有坏习惯。

这也是不可能的，排除C项；可知D项“I will go for a walk after supper in working days.”在工作日，晚饭后去散步。

是正确的。

【答案】 D
C
I am 26.I'm clear that I'm never going to catch up with Mother Teresa.But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.
Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda.The safety training is serious and stressful.Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy.I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire.If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police.But if something happens up in the air, it's up to us.
I'm single and have no kids.I've flown every Christmas since 1995.If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it's the little things that make a difference.
We're_not_robots.It's hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn't.I've seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just
pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and believe in a calm way)．At the end of a 14­hour flight, it's like, “It was really nice to help you, but I'm ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life.You can't wait to turn off the flight attendant's voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”
Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When yo u say thank you, it's huge.It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans.We're up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.
【语篇解读】本文介绍了一个26岁空乘员的工作，以及她工作的不易。

8．What's the author's attitude towards Mother Teresa?
A．Grateful. B．Fearful.
C．Doubtful. D．Admiring.
【解析】细节理解题。

根据短文第一段“I'm never going to catch up with Mother Teresa.But I want to do something to help people every single day like her”我永远赶不上特蕾莎修女。

但是我希望能像她一样，做点什么来帮助人们，可以判断我对特蕾莎修女是钦佩赞赏的。

故选D项。

【答案】 D
9．How did the author like her roommate's job?
A．It was the same as hers.
B．It was more interesting than hers.
C．It was easier than hers.
D．It was more serious than hers.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据短文第二段“Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy.”在90分钟的飞行中照顾商务舱中的49人并不容易和“If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police.But if something happens up in the air, it's up to us.”如果她的工作中有不好的事情发生，她可以打电话叫警察。

但如果飞行中有突发事件，那只能靠我们自己。

由此推断室友的工作比我的容易。

故选C项。

【答案】 C
10．Why does the author fly every Christmas?
A．Because she has nowhere to go.
B．Because she's trying to be a helpful coworker.
C．Because she owes her co-workers some favors.
D．Because she'd like to earn more money.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据短文第三段“If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.”可知，如果我去上班，别人就可以与孩子在一起过圣诞节。

所以，作者是个乐于助人的人。

故选B项。

【答案】 B
11．What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We're not robots”？
A．Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.
B．Flight attendants also experience emotions.
C．Flight attendants get tired while robots don't.
D．Flight attendants need to rest now and then.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据短文第四段“It's hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn't.”事情不顺利的时候假装一切都好，还要面带微笑是很不容易的，和后面讲述的一个同事起飞前失去亲人，飞行中仍然要控制感情，平静地工作，可知“We're not robots.”指的是感情方面的事情。

故选B项。

【答案】 B
D
Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things.How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat.People eating
alone eat least.People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more.Eating with overweight friends? You'll eat more.Is your waitress overweight？You'll eat more.Wide variety of food? You'll eat more.
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes.If people ate it off a paper plate, they'd say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake I've eaten in my entire life.”
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat.You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad.So Grandma's cookies always taste better than other cookies.“Good food” even has a “health halo(光环) effect”．If we're eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy.Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone.That's perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.
Food and hunger affect your judgment too.Hungry judges give more serious sentences.Kids who don't eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast.People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.
【语篇解读】本文介绍影响人们过度饮食的几个因素。

12．What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?
A．Suffering from great loneliness.
B．Being served by a helpful waitress.
C．Being treated to high quality food.
D．Eating with many friends.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据第一段“People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more.”和另外一个人一起吃会多于在家吃的35%；四个人一起吃会多吃75%，可知过度饮食的一个原因是和很多人一起吃，故选D。

【答案】 D
13．According to the passage, an annoying person may be one who ________.
A．finds any excuse for eating more
B．is crazy about the quality of plates
C．competes with others in making cookies
D．teaches people to stick to morality
【解析】句意理解题。

根据第三段“That's perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.”可推断出一个讨厌的人是一个为自己吃过量找借口的人。

故选A。

【答案】 A
14．According to the passage, people are more likely to make a bad judgment when ________.
A．they don't feel hungry
B．they aren't overweight
C．they have low blood sugar
D．they know little about food
【解析】细节理解题。

根据最后一段“People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.”低血糖的人更有可能不专注以及无法控制他们不开心的情绪，因而更有可能做出错误的判断。

故选C。

【答案】 C
15．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．When Can't We Go on a Diet?
B．What Affects Eating?
C．How to Make Good Food
D．Where to Find Safe Food
【解析】主旨大意题。

文章第一段便可看出本文大意“Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things.”现代人很难控制他们的食欲。

通常他们吃不是因为他们饿了，而是受到很多因素的影响。

下文介绍影响人们过度饮食的因素，故“什么影响吃？”作为本文的标题最合适。

故选B。

【答案】 B
Ⅱ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
1,000 Hours a Year
Like you, all my e-mail goes into my Sent Mailbox, just sitting there if I want to check back at what I said to whom years ago.So what a surprise to see that I send approximately 18, 250 e-mails each year (roughly 50 a day)．Assuming 3 minutes per e-mail, that's about 1,000 hours a year on e-mail alone.I've been on e-mail since the early 90s.__16__
The answer is both yes and no.Yes, I have been able to keep in touch with family, friends, and colleagues in far-away corners of the planet with ease.__17__ But while these undoubted benefits are the reasons why I continue to e-mail, it is not without its own cost.Most importantly, as the above analysis shows, e-mail eats my time just as it likely eats yours.
__18__ Each time a message arrives there's just the chance that it might contain something exciting, something new, something special, a new opportunity.__19__ That's just enough to keep me checking my Inbox.But that means perhaps only 10 of the 1,000 hours I spent on e-mails this year were actually wanted.
Frequent e-mail messages will certainly affect our real work.__20__ Like other potential addictions we should perhaps attempt to check the e-mail box at certain times of the day, or by creating e-mail-free zones by turning off WiFi.Now I need to think whether I really want to be spending 1,000 hours a year on e-mail, at the expense of more valuable activities.
A．Was that time well spent?
B．All this feeds my continued use of e-mail.
C．Do you spend 1,000 hours on e-mails every year?
D．And we all recognize that e-mail has its addictive side.
E．e-mail uses technology to communicate a digital message over the Internet.
F．Maybe one in 100 e-mails contain something I really want to know or hear about.
G．Becoming aware of what e-mail is doing to our allocation of time is the first step to re-gaining control.
【答案】16－20ABDFG
Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
I think I'm one of the luckiest people in the world because of the time I'm able to spend with young people who are not afraid to show their excitement and zest for life.__21___,_I would prefer a person with passion and enthusiasm to a person with __22__ and talent any day of the week.You can teach and develop skills, __23__ you cannot develop a love of life and an optimistic attitude.These are __24__ of a person and appear at all times during work or play.Furthermore, they are traits that one is born with and they will never __25___ them.
As a __26__ and an Independent Education and Career Planning Advisor, I __27__ too many children and young adults who are on a road to despair unless someone can find a way to change their attitude towards __28__ and indeed life itself!
__29__，society has turned out too many children and young that are unwilling to put much__30__ or thought into their work.Whenever I come across such people __31___or old, I'm reminded of a boy who went with his mother on a blueberry picking hike into the __32__.The boy filled his __33__ mostly with moss(苔藓) and then covered the moss with a thin layer of blueberries so that it looked ___34___.But the next morning, he found the blueberry pie which his mother __35__ for him was moss.
So__36__，whether you are in school or __37__，if you have enthusiasm and if you are ___38___to put in consistent effort along with passion, you will receive the __39__.If, on the other hand, you are __40__ and prefer to take short-cuts, you should not expect to achieve the same results.

Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how 41.______ (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes 42.______ (fix) upon me.I had no 43.______ (choose) but to prepare for it, though.First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer.But the hardest part 44.______ (lie) in my oral presentation from my memory— for to read from the paper was not allowed.The real moment began 45.______ I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank.But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me.Gradually I found myself back，46.______ (deliver) my speech with difficulty.After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience

【语篇解读】本文通过作者的经历告诉我们了一个道理：遇到困难时，克服它然后我们就能达到自己的目标。

41．terribly本空需要一个副词去修饰后面的形容词shy，故答案为terribly。

42．fixed fix one's eyes on sth./sb.是固定表达，意思是把眼光放在某人或某物上。

可知fix和eyes是动宾关系。

所以本空用过去分词表被动。

故答案为fixed。

43．choice have no choice but to do sth.是固定表达，意思是除了……别无选择。

故答案为choice。

44．lay此处是作者回忆的过去的事情，所以用过去式。

故答案为lay。

45．when本空需要一个连词连接两个简单句，而且表示当……的时候。

故答案为when。

46．delivering本句已经有谓语动词found，所以后面的deliver需要填非谓语形式，它和主语I之间是主动的关系，所以填现在分词形式。

故答案为delivering。

47．it make it是固定表达，意思是成功，做到。

故答案为it。

48．confidence根据前面的my和句意可知此处需要填名词信心。

故答案为confidence。

49．to on one's way to是固定表达，意思是在某人去……的路上；此处表示在“我”通往成功的路上。

故答案为to。

50．and祈使句＋and/or＋一般将来时的句子是固定句式。

前面的表示条件，后面的表示结果。

句意：克服它那么我们就能达到自己的目标。

故答案为and。

Dear_Mike，
How_are_you_going_these_days?
Our yearly campus book fair will be held recently in order to provide us students with an opportunity to exchange books and make better use of used books.
At the book fair, students could sell unwanted books, buy needed books or simply trade books with each other.And the prices are very low.
As far as I'm concerned, I highly recommend this activity.On the one hand, our social skills can be well practiced and improved.On the other hand, this activity also gave us an excellent opportunity to feel a bit of the real world.
Looking forward to your suggestion for our better campus book fair.
Yours，
Li_Hua

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Are you a volcano lover? Here is a list of some of the world's most beautiful volcanoes that our travel agency can offer you to visit.Don't miss them!

Mount Kelimutu, Indonesia
Kelimutu's three mysterious crater lakes attract both scientists and tourists to the island of Flores in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara Province.One is emerald green(翡翠绿)，another dark red, and the third pitch black.Scientists say the lakes take on such colors because the volcanic gases met the lakes' minerals centuries ago.

In October 2013, Davion Only made an appeal on the Internet.He had learned that his biological mother had died not long before.“My name is Davion and I've been in foster care (寄养照管) since I was born，”he said, “but I'm not giving up hope.”
The heartbreaking appeal spread quickly, and Only's foster agency received calls from more than 10,000 people.Only ended up travelling to Ohio to live with a family.But after Only got into a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers, the family changed their minds.
Back in Florida, Only passed through four different temporary homes over the following year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption case worker, to make a special request.Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him, but she always hesitated.“I always believed there was a better family than us out there，” Going said in an interview.But last July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going said something felt different.“When he asked me, my heart felt this ache and I just knew he was my son，” she said.
So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time with the rest of her family－her two daughters, Sydney, 21, and Carly 17, and a son Taylor, 14, who she also adopted out of foster care.Eventually, after seeing how well the arrangement was working, Going, who had rented a bigger home, started adopting Only.Only moved in with her family last December.He officially joined Going's family on April 22, 2015。
