Most of us set a goal with energy and motivation. If it is achieved, we will feel we are on cloud nine. But in most cases, we can't reach our goals easily. Why do we often fail to hit the target? The answer lies in the disconnect between our brains' evaluation of rewards and the "get it done" realities that influence our behavior.

Our brains are reward-driven organs charged by neurotransmitters (神经递质) that fuel our drives and desires, and it' s easy for us to get carried away in this chemical tsunami. So, when we set up a goal, our focus is on the reward. We picture getting the reward, and how we'll feel when we make it, which pushes us into action. But once we begin, we come face to face with what's really required to reach the goal and our focus shifts from reward to effort.

In other words, a focus on rewards fuels the pursuit, but a focus on effort takes over when the work starts. For example, getting up early to exercise for a new healthy lifestyle might seem like a good choice, but once your alarm goes off on a cold January morning, the rewards aren't enough to get you up and out of bed. When we face the reality of our choices, we realize the effort is too much and give up.

In fairness, though, we don’t always have the best sense of how much effort something will require, especially if it's a goal we haven't pursued before. Getting better at setting goals has much to do with figuring this out and not letting ourselves forget the lesson.

Next time, begin our goal pursuits with as much realistic acknowledgment of the effort required as possible. Then, once we begin, refocus back to the reward and continue the efforts.

24. What does the underlined phrase "on cloud nine" mean in paragraph 1?

A. Scared.   B. Overjoyed.   C. Restless.   D. Weary.

25. What may account for one’s unachieved goal?

A. Aiming high, working less.

B. Speaking more, doing less.

C. More efforts, less speed.

D. More pains, more gains.

26. What do people often fail to recognize in setting goals?

A. Duration.   B. Effort.   C. Expense.   D. Reward.

27. What's the author's advice to us?

A. Refocus back to the goal.

B. Achieve your goal step by step.

C. Accept failure and learn from the past.

D. Set practical goals and work consistently.

Selena Evans had been down for days because she had no idea how to please those two girls. At first, Elizabeth Moretz just wouldn't hide her disdain (鄙视) for her. About a month ago, when Selena ran into her near a coffee shop, she called her name from afar. However, Elizabeth didn't show any kindness; instead, she scolded her, "You scared the hell out of me". To apologize, for several days in a row, Selena would buy some coffee and stand at the door of the cafe, waiting for Elizabeth to come, and then pass the coffee to her and say friendly, "This is for you!" But every time, Elizabeth would look at her doubtfully and then reject it.

But one day before a math class, Elizabeth sat down right next to her and said, "You know, I always speak out of turn without thinking. Sometimes it might hurt people. But you'll realize I'm a good person soon. Please forgive my rudeness." Then she passed her a cup of coffee, "This is for you." Selena couldn't believe it was happening. She took the coffee excitedly.

 But soon she discovered she shouldn't have been happy like that because the coffee wasn't even for her. It was for Sara Crawford. Sara didn't show up that day, so Elizabeth gave it to her instead.

Should I try to be one of a group where I don't belong?

"No, I will spare no efforts to be their friend!"

The next day Selena went to the bakery and bought three loafs of bread, one for herself, one for Elizabeth and one for Sara. As she was walking to the cafe, she saw Elizabeth sitting at an outdoor table of the cafe, pouring some water from her thermos into a coffee cup. After that, she put the cup lid back really quickly and then looked around alertly.

Selena paused a little, and then called her loudly in the distance, "Morning!"

Following the sound, Elizabeth saw Selena. She put the thermos back into her pack really quickly and stood up with that coffee in her hand.

Selena ran to her and passed her a loaf of bread, "This is for you."

"Oh, I…" Elizabeth waved her hand, "I don’t like bread."

"Then, what do you like?" Before Selena could finish, Elizabeth had run away with that coffee.

Selena had been feeling down for two classes. The third class was lab course. She went to the Girls’ room before that and when she came back to the lab, Elizabeth walked to her with a cup of coffee. She dragged Selena, shoved the coffee into her hand and turned away.

Suddenly, she recalled what she had seen this morning, and was frozen there.

28. What did the underlined part probably mean?

A. Selena was in a dilemma what to do next.

B. Selena would continue to make them happy.

C. Selena found them difficult to get along with.

D. Selena was determined not to make friends with them.

29. Why did Elizabeth put the thermos back into her pack quickly on seeing Selena?

A. She wanted to pass coffee to Selena.

B. She wanted to accept the loaf of bread.

C. She hid the fact of filling the coffee cup with water from Selena.

D. She was so excited to see Selena that she was at a loss what to do.

30. What made Selena upset before the lab course?

A. Elizabeth hated being with her.

B. Elizabeth didn’t hand her the coffee at first.

C. She was concerned about the coming lab course.

D. Try as she might, it seemed hard for her to please Elizabeth.

31. What’s the best title for the story?

A. Peer pressure       B. Flattering them

C. A tricky girl       D. A girl’s trouble

D

Saturn’s rings are losing material every year.

Incoming micrometeorites (微陨石) and the sun’s radiation disturb the small, dusty pieces of ring matter, electrifying them. The particles, suddenly transformed, become adapted to Saturn’s magnetic field lines and start spinning along those invisible paths. When the particles get too close to Saturn’s atmosphere, gravity pulls them in, and they vaporize (蒸发) in the planet’s clouds. Astronomers call this "ring rain", and over time this and other phenomena will weaken the distinctive rings, until nothing is left.

"This is us looking at Saturn’s rings at their peak," said James O’Donoghue, a planetary scientist from Japan. From our perspective, the magnificent sight seems immutable (永恒的), but, on the grand scale of things, it is fleeting.

It might help to know that the process is going to take a while: O’Donoghue and other scientists estimate that the rings will disappear in about 300million years. The residents of Earth still have plenty of time to appreciate the beauty of Saturn’s rings.

The science community hasn’t come to a consensus about the origin story of Saturn's rings. But, it is a reminder that the worlds of our solar system, however still they might look from here, are dynamic places, with dramatic histories of their own." We think that the universe out there­­­­­­­­—as opposed to this, where we live, where everything is messy and changing all the time—is this kind of crystal and never-changing thing," said Jeff Cuzzi, an expert on planetary rings. From afar, Saturn's rings look so solid, like a wall you could swing your legs over. But they are anything but. The Voyager mission had spotted some evidence of ring stuff leaking into Saturn, but with Cassini, astronomers could really investigate the phenomenon, and make their best estimates yet for how long the rings would stick around.

A few hundred million years is a very long time. And yet I have a sudden sharp feeling of sadness about the idea of Saturn losing its rings. So do some astronomers I've spoken with. I've come to think of this reaction as "space feel". It has no real bearing on our daily lives, and yet they tug at the heartstrings in a cosmic way. "It's very, very sad that the rings will disappear in the future," O’Donoghue said. But "I'm very happy that we're lucky enough to see it."

32. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?

A. How Saturn’s rings are formed.

B. What Saturn’s rings look like.

C. Why Saturn’s rings will disappear.

D. How “ring rain” comes into being.

33. What can we learn about Saturn’s rings from the passage?

A. The splendor of Saturn’s rings will remain the same.

B. Scientists have known for sure about the origin of Saturn’s rings.

C. We can’t enjoy the beauty of Saturn’s rings unless we seize the chance.

D. We can draw from Saturn’s rings that the planets in solar system are dynamic.

34. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph?

A. The universe outside the earth is never changing.

B. Saturn’s rings are so solid that they will not disappear.

C. The universe outside the earth is opposed to what we think of the earth.

D. Astronomers may calculate how long it will be before the rings disappear.

35. How does O’Donoghue feel about the idea of Saturn losing its rings?

A. sorry   B. lucky    C. happy   D. indifferent

第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Should teens do housework after school?  36  Some might claim that doing housework is a waste of time, while others feel that housework is a good opportunity for teens to become more mature. As for me, I strongly argue that it is indeed necessary for teens to do household work to help develop a sense of responsibility.

First of all, to be responsible, teenagers should learn how to manage their time.  37  When I was in senior high, I had to wash dishes every day. Therefore, I learned how to do my chores (家务) quickly to save more time for studying and relaxing. On the other hand, my little brother did not do any housework, so he always struggled to keep to his schedule.

38  Doing household chores can train teens to become independent people. For instance, when my sister was in high school, she had to do her own washing and cleaning, and even cook her own food. As a result, she knew how to take care of herself. She rarely relied on anyone.

Finally, doing household chores can help teens become better leaders.  39  When my family clean the house together, I often give orders and see everyone do his or her own work. My sister is in charge of dusting the floor, I clean the windows, and my brother takes out the waste.            40   Moreover, statistics show that a lot of students who are class leaders often are responsible for the main household chores in their families.

1. Take my personal experience for example.
2. People adopt different stands toward this issue.
3. Besides, being responsible means being independent.
4. Parents feel angry if their teens don't help with the housework.
5. Secondly, it gives teens the sense that they're part of the family.
6. Doing household work can help them develop good time management skills.
7. As a result, when I was selected as the leader in group projects, I felt confident about it.

A little boy almost thought of himself as the unluckiest child in the world because poliomyelitis （小儿麻痹症）made him unable to walk like normal people. He seldom played with his classmates, and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.

One spring, the boy's father asked for some young trees from the neighbor. He wanted to plant them in the front of the house. He told his children to plant a tree each person. The father said to the children, "Whose tree grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift". The boy also wanted to get his father's gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters watering and fertilizing the trees happily, he had a terrible idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never attended to it.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn't die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, "From the tree you planted, you will become a great person when you grow up."
