【解析】

試題分析:這篇短文是一個(gè)小故事。說的是Colin每天工作到很晚回家睡覺,住在樓下的grandma對(duì)他很滿意。但有一次Colin遇到了他的老同學(xué),兩個(gè)人在Colin的家里聊了很長時(shí)間。他們想知道那時(shí)有幾點(diǎn)了,但碰巧Colin的表壞了,于是Colin想到了一個(gè)能知道時(shí)間的好方法。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中開頭Colin is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school可知,Colin現(xiàn)在20歲了,兩年前從學(xué)校畢業(yè),所以由此我們可知他畢業(yè)時(shí)是18歲,故選C。

2.推理判斷題。住在樓下的grandma 對(duì)Colin很滿意是因?yàn)樗刻煲换氐郊揖退X,很安靜,不會(huì)打擾到她休息。其他選項(xiàng)均沒有在文中提到。故選C。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中they talked about the school life they spent together, their teachers, classmates and their future(未來)他們談?wù)摿怂麄円黄鸲冗^的學(xué)校生活、他們的老師、他們的同學(xué)以及他們的未來。由此我們可以判斷Colin 和Nancy是同學(xué)關(guān)系。故選A。

4.詞意猜測題。stamp 做名詞時(shí)是郵票的意思,但此處的stamp顯然是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)文中“Bang! Bang! Bang!”發(fā)出的聲音我們可以推斷stamp應(yīng)該是跺腳的意思,因?yàn)檫@樣發(fā)出的聲音才會(huì)吵醒在樓下的grandma。故選D。

5.推理判斷題。Colin故意大聲的跺腳,吵醒在樓下睡覺的grandma,他的目的就是讓grandma 生氣,告訴他們現(xiàn)在的時(shí)間。Grandma 最后說“It’s twelve o’clock in the night, Colin. Why are you still jumping upstairs?”都晚上12點(diǎn)了,Colin,你怎么還在樓上跳。抗蔬xC。

考點(diǎn):故事類短文閱讀。

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

Setting personal goals 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 with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories.

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

· Family—What kind of relationship(關(guān)系)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?

Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?

To help make the process (過程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. 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 and a one-month 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.

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

1.Is life a long journey according to the passage?

2. Why do you need to set your life goal?

3.What should you consider when you set a family goal?

4.How can we achieve the main goal easily?

5.What does the writer want to tell us?
