“Life’s a long, long journey,” so we are told, and most of us would not go on a journey, even a short one, without knowing where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction(方向感) at all.

Setting personal goals(目标) can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve(实现) with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following kinds:

Education — Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?

Family — What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members?

Creative — Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

Career — What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

Public Service — Do you want to make the world a better place?

Physical — Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?

Pleasure — How do you want to enjoy yourself?

To help achieve your goals, divide(把...分开) them into smaller ones. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal, a one-month goal and even a one-week goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence(自信).

Remember, your goals can be changed as time goes on. But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.

26. According to the passage, why should we set goals?

 A. To have a better future.

 B. To be happier in life.

 C. To give our life a sense of direction.

27. What should you think about when you set a family goal?

 A. The education you want to get.

 B. The job to support your family.

 C. The relationship with family members.

28. What’s the best advice to achieve the main goal?

 A. Dividing your goals into smaller ones.

 B. Creating a daily To-Do List of things.

 C. Setting the time to achieve the main goal.

29. What can we learn from the passage?

 A. Once you set your goals, they can’t be changed.

 B. Not all the people can get success by setting goals.

 C. Enjoying success in one goal can help you do better in the next one.

30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

 A. A long journey.  B. Goal setting for life.  C. A successful life.

B

British adventurer(冒险家) Alastair Humphreys had ridden his bike around the world, walked across India, and rowed(划船) from Africa to South America. In 2011, however, Humphreys had some of the biggest adventures of his life and he never even left the UK.

For a year, Humphreys went on microadventures — small, cheap trips close to home. Why did he do this? “I started to think that it was possible to have an adventure anywhere.” He explains. For his first trip, he went hiking(徒步旅行) with a friend around the M25-a 188-kilometre road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill and going on a mountain biking trip. Humphreys learned something important from his microadventures: We find adventures when we try something new.

Humphreys wanted other people to understand it, too, so he decided to share his idea. He challenged(向.….挑战) people to go on microadventures and send him four-minute videos of their trips. He asked them to do things like climbing a hill, going away for a weekend, or choosing a random(任意的) place on a map and go there. People from all over the world accepted his challenge and shared their videos on Twitter(推特).

31. Which of the followings are microadventures? Check and choose the right answer.

 ① walk across India  ② sleep outside on a hill ③ go away for a weekend

 ④ swim in the River Thames ⑤ row from Africa to South America

 ⑥ hike around the road around London

 A. ①③④⑤  B. ②③④⑥  C. ②③⑤⑥

32. What does “it” in Paragraph(段落) Three refer to(指的是)?

 A. Microadventures are important for us.

 B. We find adventures when we try something new.

 C. We don’t need to travel far to have adventures.

33. What can we know from Paragraph Three?

 A. Humphreys asked people around the world to have microadventures with him in the UK.

 B. Humphreys shared his idea by challenging people to take microadventures and send him videos.

 C. People were asked to go away for weeks or climb the mountains in random places all over  the world.

34. What is Humphreys like according to the passage?

 A. Brave, creative and active.

 B. Proud, polite and kind.

 C. Careful, quiet and hard-working.

35. What would be the best title for the passage?

 A. A Big Challenge B. An Amazing Travel  C. Go for a Microadventure

第三节 语篇补全 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。

Is there a connection(联系) between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 36. __________________. Here, we look at two examples.

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument(乐器) can improve a person’s hearing ability. 37. __________________. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no music training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.   

38. __________________. Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on some sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients(病人). Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 39. __________________. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of their brain work, including the broken parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves attention, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 40. __________________. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏捷的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

With the big closing ceremony on Sunday night, February 20th, the Olympic fame(火焰) has been put out, bringing down the curtain(帷幕) on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. But the spirit of the sporting event has made a difference to the world during the pandemic(疫情).

International Olympic committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach called the Games very successful in his closing ceremony speech at the National Stadium. “The Olympic spirit could only shine(闪耀) so brightly because the Chinese people set the stage in such an excellent way  and in a safe way,” he said.

At Beijing 2022, a total of 2,877 athletes(运动员) from 91 countries and regions competed for 109 gold medals. Through 17 days of outstanding performances on the ice and snow, 17 Olympic records, including two world records, were broken.

“This is a real example of the Olympic motto(口号): Faster, Higher, Stronger — Together,” said Cai Qi, president of the Beijing organizing committee.

As the first city to ever host both the Summer and Winter Olympics, Beijing gave excellent services to all the athletes.

Beijing 2022 was the first international multi-sport event to be held on schedule(如期) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Athletes were kept safe within a closed loop(闭环), stopping any imported cases(输入性病例) from spreading to the outside public. “With an infection rate (感染率) of 0.01, it was one of the safest places on the planet, if not the safest place on the planet, and this is a great achievement,” said Bach.

The popularity of ice and snow sports is growing around China. The country has achieved its goal to engage(使参与) 300 million people in winter sports. Winter sports facilities(设施) have even spread to the southern parts of China where winters are warmer. For example, an indoor ski resort(滑雪场) opened in Guangzhou. The Sunac Snow Park is as large as 22 soccer fields and has received more than 2 million visitors since it opened in 2019.

41. When was the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics?

42. What did Thomas Bach think of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?

43. Which city is the first city to ever host both the Summer and Winter Olympics?

44. Are ice and snow sports getting more and more popular in China?

45. For pandemic, what actions did China take at the Winter Olympics?
