If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life,try again now,one tiny step at a time.
Every year it’s the same.As December comes to an end,you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year,you think about the last year.You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make,but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.
Here’s a suggestion:Forget the too big,hard-to-achieve goals(目標) and just think about the small ones.“We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer,who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life.“What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”
“Kaizen”,a Japanese word,is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes(態(tài)度).During World War Il,American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes.After the war,the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan.It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.
Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything
小題1:Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us           .
A.we should do everything in big steps
B.how to change one’s life with one small step
C.we should try a lot of sudden changes
D.how to find a small step without any excuse
小題2:The writer of the passage suggests we should           .
A.make changes at the end of the year
B.do few experiments with “kaizen”
C.do things with hard-to-achieve goals
D.take a tiny step to achieve big goals
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?
A.Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful.
B.You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy.
C.You can’t find any excuse not to reach a big goal.
D.“Kaizen” was brought to Japan during World WarⅡ.

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:A

試題分析:本文是One Small Step Can Change Your Life一書的作者Robert Maurer講述了如何將遠大的目標化成小目標,一小步一小步的實現(xiàn)大的目標。
小題1:根據(jù)Forget the too big,hard-to-achieve goals(目標) and just think about the small ones可推知,本文就是告訴我們應(yīng)該將目標設(shè)的小一點。所以本題選B。
小題2:根據(jù)書的題目 One Small Step Can Change Your Life可知,一小步也可以實現(xiàn)大目標。所以本題選D。
小題3:根據(jù)最后一段Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything可知,本題應(yīng)該選A。
點評:本題中1、2小題都是推斷題目。而推理判斷題必須根據(jù)上下文及其相互間的關(guān)系或?qū)φ恼逻M行深層理解后,聯(lián)系作者的態(tài)度、觀點、意圖、語氣等弦外之音,透過表層意義,領(lǐng)會文章內(nèi)涵才能找到答案。解答這類題時,我們應(yīng)該高度重視從話題出發(fā),充分運用自己的邏輯思維能力,從文章的內(nèi)在含義和字里行間中,從作者的態(tài)度和取向中獲取信息,做出正確的判斷。

Prana, our beautiful dog whose name means ‘breath of life’, isn’t with us any more. But she brought such joy and love that we still miss her.
There are so many wonderful stories about the love in this dog, but my favorite is this one.
It was an autumn day in Minnesota, but the weather didn’t know the difference between autumn and winter. Unexpectedly, we were hit with a big snow fall for which no one was prepared.
We have two apple trees in our backyard. Prana loved apples. When she went outside, she’d take hold of an apple, put it far back in her mouth, and sneak into the house to save for eating later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house. Feeling my displeasure, she would turn her head so I wouldn’t see her hidden treasure.
On the day that it snowed too early in the season, Prana went outside and I watched her from the window. I noticed that she was madly digging holes and brought the apples to the surface so they could be seen above the snow. I wondered why she was doing this. She seemed to be completely busy with some kind of important task to dig up as many apples as possible during her yard time.
When I called her back into the house, she had her usual one apple in her mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The yard was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for her bird friends to eat. She knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food to live through such an early winter.
小題1:The story about the dog happened _______.
A.in autumnB.in winterC.in springD.in summer
小題2:What does the underlined phrase sneak into mean in the fourth paragraph?
A.enter quicklyB.enter secretlyC.enter happilyD.enter slowly
小題3:Prana was busy digging up the apples in the snow because________.
A.she liked digging holes and eating apples
B.she was always saving the apples for eating later
C.she wanted to leave the apples to her bird friends
D.she loves playing with snow
小題4:From the story we can learn that______.
A.Prana is helpful to the writer
B.Prana is devoted to the writer
C.Prana is not only beautiful but also joyful
D.Prana is especially loving and thoughtful

Shopping used to mean actually going to shops, but nowadays, you can shop without even leaving your house. Just sit in front of your computer, click your mouse and your things will be sent to your house in a couple of days.
November 11th is a big day for people who like shopping online. On that day last year, many online stores offered a big discount and free delivery service. The biggest online shopping sites in China,Taobao.com and Tmall.com ,sold things worth 19.1 billion yuan in total.
“Goods online are often much cheaper. It also saves me a lot of time. And we often have more goods on many online stores than in shopping malls,” Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily. She stayed up very late for a lot of cheap goods online. She spent several thousand that day.
Another big advantage of online shopping is that it helps people get things from different cities, even different countries, with ease. “I like eating duck neck very much and I often buy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s much more delicious than what our local (當?shù)氐? stores sell, but cheaper,” said Zang Xin, a girl in Yangzhou.
While enjoying online shopping, many people also have worries, especially for middle school student buyers. Young students are easily attracted by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.
“Middle school students should pay more attention to their study. Searching for things wastes their time,” said Jing Chunling, an education expert. “Besides, online shop owners have no idea of the ages of their buyers. Anyone can easily buy things that they want to. Some of goods are even bad for young students such as cigarettes and wine.”
小題1:Nowadays many people like shopping online instead of _________.
A.clicking their mouseB.paying money
C.sitting in front of their computersD.going to shops
小題2:What does the underlined phrase “with ease” mean?

One of my favourite things to do is hiking in mountains. Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I always prepare before every trip. But what’s the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a good old map and compass? Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail I marked. One team of three carried a GPS, and the other team used a map and compass.
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike, however, it took the map and compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the satellite signal (衛(wèi)星信號) in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot (認出) different landmarks, compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
When I head out on my future hikes, I’m bringing a map, a compass and a GPS to show me the way.
小題1:The writer prepares before every trip because he doesn’t _________.
A.like the old map or compass
B.know how to use the GPS
C.want to get lost in mountains
D.want to get into the mountains alone
小題2:The two teams _________.
A.had the same navigation tool
B.went along the same trail
C.had the same problem
D.finished the whole hike at the same time
小題3:In the end, the writer found out _________.
A.the map and the compass were too old navigation tools to use any more
B.it wasn’t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS
C.the GPS had some bad points in hiking in mountains
D.he wouldn’t use a GPS any more
