Here are some ideas about life goals. What are life goals? Life goals are what we want to reach, and they make our life much more meaningful. They’re personal plans but they can be different in many ways. Why should we set goals in life? Lots of us have dreams. We know what makes us happy and what we would love to try. Setting goals is useful in making our dreams come true. First setting goals can guide our behavior (行为). Second, if we know what we want to be and want to do clearly, we can have the right direction in our life. We won’t run around like a headless chicken (无头苍蝇). Finally, setting goals can make us live more actively (积极地). People set life goals to live a happy and good life. How can we set life goals? Here’s an example. Jamie wants to be a teacher. She sets a goal of being an English teacher two years later. It is not a simple goal like “helping my brother with his homework”. Although her goal is difficult to reach in a short time, she’ll try her best. Remember the more difficult your goal is, the more you’ll get. 31. What can we know about life goals according to Paragraph 2? A. People’s life goals are all similar to each other’s. B. Without them, our life will not be so meaningful. C. They are personal plans, so we shouldn’t tell them to others. D. They are usually easy to set but hard to reach. 32. What does the underlined word “direction” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 信仰 B. 财富 C. 实力 D. 方向 33. What are the advantages of setting life goals according to the writer? ①It helps us live a rich life. ②It guides our behavior. ③It helps us find directions in life. ④It helps us live a more active life. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③ 34. Why does the writer give Jamie’s example in the last paragraph? A. To tell us the importance of life goals. B. To show us a different life goal. C. To tell us to make our life goals hard us to reach. D. To let us see a meaningful life. 35. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①/②③④ B. ①②③/④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②/③④ 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，从“什么是人生目标”、“我们为什么要有人生目标”和“我们如何设置人生目标”三个方面，给出了解释和建议。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Life goals are what we want to reach, and they make our life much more meaningful.”（人生目标是我们想要达到的，它们使我们的生活更有意义。），可知人生目标使得我们的生活更有意义。故选B。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“We won’t run around like a headless chicken (无头苍蝇). ”（我们不会像无头苍蝇一样跑来跑去。），可知划线词“direction”指的就是“方向”。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“First setting goals can guide our behavior (行为). Second, if we know what we want to be and want to do clearly, we can have the right direction in our life. We won’t run around like a headless chicken (无头苍蝇). Finally, setting goals can make us live more actively (积极地). ”，可知设定人生目标的优势有三点，“指导我们的行为”、“使我们的生活有正确的方向”和“让我们活得更积极”，并不包含选项①“帮助致富”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Although her goal is difficult to reach in a short time, she’ll try her best.”（虽然她的目标很难在短时间内实现，但她会尽最大努力。），可知人生目标并不是很容易实现的。故选C。 【35题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文，根据第一段“Here are some ideas about life goals.”（这里有一些关于人生目标的想法。）和第二段“What are life goals?”、第三段“Why should we set goals in life?”和第四段“How can we set life goals?”，在第一段抛出“主题”以后，第二、三、四段分别从“What、Why、How”三个方面进行分析，可知文章结构是“总分”结构。故选A。 六、补全短文 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。 ____36____ Animals don’t have soap (肥皂), but they do keep themselves clean.

After all, nobody wants to slip (滑倒) and fall. 【答案】41. snows 42. but 43. falling 44. snowy 45. them 46. clearly 47. dangerous 48. there 49. For 50. away 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了雪天带来的乐趣和困难。 【41题详解】 句意：在许多地方，每年冬天都下雪。根据上文“Does it snow where you live?”以及“every winter”可知，此处表示每年冬天都下雪。时态是一般现在时，动词snow意为“下雪”，主语it表示单数，所以snow要变成第三人称单数形式snows。故填snows。 【42题详解】 句意：下雪可能很有趣，但也可能让事情变得更困难。分析“Snow can be fun...it can also make things harder.”可知，空格前后是转折关系，连词but“但是”符合语境。故填but。 【43题详解】 句意：有些孩子看到雪花从天上掉下来时，通常会很兴奋。根据常识可知，雪应是落下，fall down“落下”；结合空前的see可知，此处表示“看见雪花正落下”，应用短语see sth. doing sth.“看见某物做某事”，所以空处应填fall的动词-ing形式falling。故填falling。 【44题详解】 句意：很多人喜欢在下雪天去滑雪橇。根据“go sledding (滑雪橇)”可知，此处表示在下雪天去滑雪橇，on snowy days“在下雪天”。故填snowy。 【45题详解】 句意：它们都是冬天非常受欢迎的户外活动。根据上文“make snowmen”，“go sledding (滑雪橇)”以及“go skiing”可知，此处表示它们全都是冬天非常受欢迎的户外活动。all of them意为“它们全部都”。故填them。 【46题详解】 句意：下雪时很难看清东西。根据常识可知，下雪时很难看清东西。空处应填副词clearly“清晰地”，用于修饰动词see。故填clearly。 【47题详解】 句意：雪太多可能非常危险。根据下文“Heavy snow can break tree branches (树枝). Sometimes snow can destroy roofs...”可知，大雪会压断树枝，有时会毁坏屋顶，所以雪太多可能非常危险，形容词dangerous“危险的”符合语境。故填dangerous。 【48题详解】 句意：有时雪会毁坏屋顶，如果屋顶上有太多的雪，它可能很容易坍塌。根据“it may break easily”可知，如果屋顶上有太多的雪，那么屋顶可能很容易坍塌。此处应用there be句型表示“某地有某物”。故填there。 【49题详解】 句意：例如，他们可以在下雪天扫雪。结合空后的example和空处所在位置可知，本题考查短语for example“例如”，句首首字母f要大写。故填For。 【50题详解】 句意：例如，他们可以在下雪天扫雪。分析“sweep...snow on snowy days”可知，此处表示在下雪天扫雪。sweep away意为“扫除”。故填away。 八、阅读填空 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格信息，并将答案写到答题卡上相应的位置。 A Mobile Library in Shanghai A community in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, has a “mobile library” with the help of community planners.

We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first and then the cookies. We thought they were great. “Let’s get some cookies again,” I said. “They are cheap and they really taste good.” Jenny could read some German, but I couldn’t, so I gave her the package.

Here are some ideas about life goals. What are life goals? Life goals are what we want to reach, and they make our life much more meaningful. They’re personal plans but they can be different in many ways. Why should we set goals in life? Lots of us have dreams. We know what makes us happy and what we would love to try. Setting goals is useful in making our dreams come true. First setting goals can guide our behavior (行为). Second, if we know what we want to be and want to do clearly, we can have the right direction in our life. We won’t run around like a headless chicken (无头苍蝇). Finally, setting goals can make us live more actively (积极地). People set life goals to live a happy and good life. How can we set life goals? Here’s an example. Jamie wants to be a teacher. She sets a goal of being an English teacher two years later. It is not a simple goal like “helping my brother with his homework”. Although her goal is difficult to reach in a short time, she’ll try her best. Remember the more difficult your goal is, the more you’ll get. 31. What can we know about life goals according to Paragraph 2? A. People’s life goals are all similar to each other’s. B. Without them, our life will not be so meaningful. C. They are personal plans, so we shouldn’t tell them to others. D. They are usually easy to set but hard to reach. 32. What does the underlined word “direction” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 信仰 B. 财富 C. 实力 D. 方向 33. What are the advantages of setting life goals according to the writer? ①It helps us live a rich life. ②It guides our behavior. ③It helps us find directions in life. ④It helps us live a more active life. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③ 34. Why does the writer give Jamie’s example in the last paragraph? A. To tell us the importance of life goals. B. To show us a different life goal. C. To tell us to make our life goals hard us to reach. D. To let us see a meaningful life. 35. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①/②③④ B. ①②③/④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②/③④ 六、补全短文 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。 ____36____ Animals don’t have soap (肥皂), but they do keep themselves clean. Many animals with hair, such as dogs and cats, keep themselves clean by licking (舔) their hair. They also use their teeth to pull out small dirty things from their hair. ____37____ Birds take baths to stay clean. First they walk through water that is not deep. Next they beat (拍打) their wings to dry themselves. Birds also take sand baths (沙浴) on the ground. ____38____ Even fish need cleaning. Fish have very little parasites that live in their mouths. Some fish live by eating these parasites off other fish. ____39____ Larger fish will open their mouths so that the cleaner fish can get in to clean.
