The cat responds, “Well, that depends on where you’re trying to get to.” Alice replies, “I don’t know.” The cat responds, “Then any road will do.”‎ You see, knowing where you’re going increases your chances dramatically of getting there, and there is no better way of “GETTING THERE” than setting your goals for the upcoming year. Think of your goals as destinations and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you. If you are like many other people, for years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals ‎ and, even more importantly, committing them to writing have positive effects on your life. However, a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.‎ In 1979, a class of Harvard MBA students was asked: Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them? The following will astonish you. Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place, 13% just had goals, and an amazing 84% had no specific goals at all.‎ Ten years later the numbers of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals. The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all. And the 3 percent who had clear, written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined. ‎ Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination. Remember, always set SMART goals. Goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound!‎ ‎25. Why does the author mention Alice in Wonderland?‎ A. To introduce the topic. B. To recommend it to readers.‎ C. To show its popularity. D. To criticize those with no goals.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?‎ A. Action steps. B. People. C. Goals. D. Effects.‎ ‎27. What did the second interview find out?‎ A. Action helped with the realization of goals.‎ B. People with goals were certain to succeed.‎ C. The income gap among students was bigger.‎ D. People with goals earned the most.‎ ‎28. Which of the following can best serve as the title?‎ A. Why we set goals B. How to set goals C. How to be successful D. What SMART goals are C A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modem manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone.‎ The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone. Jo Clark, 46, said. “I don’t know what she was playing at. I couldn’t believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I won’t be shopping there again!”‎ But users of social media sites and Internet forums（论坛）were very angry that store gave ‎ in and the public appeared to be supporting the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on people around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road users and especially people behind you in the stairs,” said a typical post.‎ ‎“It’s time checkout staff fought back against these people constantly chatting on theft phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It’s rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone’s phone and throw it as far as I can, even though I am not a checkout girl, just a passer-by,” said another.‎ Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www. Netmums.com said, “While this checkout operator doesn’t have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt. No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”‎ ‎29. According to Jo Clark, the checkout operator .‎ A. lacked the knowledge of checkout manners B. played with a mobile phone while at work C. had no right to forbid her from using her mobile phone ‎ D. deserved praise for her modem manners ‎30. The third and fourth paragraphs imply that the public .‎ A. are used to chatting on their mobile phones B. are driven crazy by constant mobile calls C. ignore the existence of mobile phone users D. seem to support the checkout operator ‎31. The attitude of Siobhan Freegard towards the checkout operator was .‎ A. disapproving B. supportive C. neutral（中立的） D. indifferent D Koalas are pictured everywhere in Australia-on cleaning products, on “boxes of chocolate, on sports team shirts. Yet the animals live only in pockets along the east coast.‎ They once inhabited the entire coastline. The koala population dropped after farmers cut down many of the forests where koalas lived, and hunters killed the animals for their fur.‎ By the early 1900s, “koalas were basically shot out of south Australia,’’ says ecologist Bill Ellis, who studies the relationships among living things and their environments.‎ I recently joined Ellis and his team in a forest on St Bees Island, 19 miles off the northeastern coast of Australia, with eight other volunteers. The island is a natural laboratory, yielding findings that may help protect koalas elsewhere on the continent.‎ The volunteers searched the island for koalas in the blue gum trees. When we found a koala, gathered information about the trees in the area.‎ Blue gum is a species of the eucalyptus tree in which the funny leaf eaters spend most of their time. Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, and their leaves are the main food source for koalas. Although koalas can walk on the ground, they are better suited for life in the canopy, the high cover of branches and leaves in a forest.‎ What has Ellis’s research told him so far? The population of St Bees seems to be healthy. Yet Ellis wonders whether the koalas might be heading for hard times. The island is overrun with wild goats, and Ellis thinks the goats are eating the small blue gum trees.‎ Without those trees, the koalas will run out of food m the future. Ellis hopes more research will help him understand how to protect the blue gum trees-and the koalas that depend on them. “I think that’s what everyone is trying to do-to make a difference.” Ellis says.‎ ‎32. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .‎ A. koalas’ pictures can be found everywhere in the world B. koalas in Australia like to eat chocolate C. only in the east coast of Australia can you find koalas D. you can buy the pictures of koalas only in the east coast of Australia ‎33. Which of the following is TRUE about koalas?‎ A. They usually hide in a cave.‎ B. They feed on the leaves of blue gum trees.‎ C. They prefer to walk on the ground.‎ D. They don’t adapt to the high cover of branches.‎ ‎34. What will Ellis most probably start to do next?‎ A. To keep the population of St Bees healthy.‎ B. To kill all the goals on the island.‎ C. To find some new foods for goats. ‎ D. To protect blue gum trees for koalas.‎ ‎35. The purpose of writing this passage is to .‎ A. expect people to concern about the life of koalas B. record trip to Australia for watching koalas C. present some basic knowledge of koalas’ life D. introduce the ecosystem of wildlife in Australia 第二节（共5个小题；每小题3分，满分15分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Some Helpful Tips for a Happier You I’ve been one of sad people before. It wasn’t easy. But fortunately, I was able to get out of it in one piece. I want you to experience that too. Here are some simple ‎ tips that I found very effective and useful in finding my own kind of happiness. 36 .‎ ‎• Exercise whenever you get the chance ‎ 37 .

Your happiness is not going to be served on a silver platte（毫不费力地）. You’ve got to work for it and, give it your all.‎ ‎• Embrace the “real” you I love the LEGO Movie because it emphasizes the importance of being happy with who you truly are. This is a very important thing to remember when you’re in pursuit of happiness. 38 You don’t need to be the same with another person just to feel good. You can be happy just by being you.‎ ‎• Avoid expecting anything from anyone As pessimistic as this claim might sound, there are some people out there who just won’t give you a hand when you really need them to. 39 .‎ If a friend or a loved one is constantly disappointing you then stop hoping for them to get their act together. Instead, do the work and feel satisfied with what you’ve accomplished.‎ ‎• 40 ‎ Stay too long and the four comers of your room will only turn you into a gloomy version of yourself. Go outside and feel the sun. Indeed, the Internet is a wonderland filled with useful information, crazy people and your everyday drama but there’s more to life than sitting in front of your computer screen.‎ A. One of the funny things about us people is that we complicate（使复杂化）our own lives.‎ B. Hopefully, you’ll be able to put them to good use.‎ C. Your physique（体格）has a lot of effects on your mind.‎ D.
