Why is setting goals important?      71      Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.    72   .It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Thank of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

     73     . They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set and they aren’t difficult to reach .      74     . You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

     75     . Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract (合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particularly way, you are able to make yourself know situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

A. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it

B. Winners in life set goals and follow through

C. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are

D. It’s difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map

E. Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life.

F. By setting goals you are taking control of your life

G. Goals are difficult to set and they are difficult to reach.

　　[1] High school is thought by many to be an exciting time when you make lasting friendships and look forward to college life．However, as all young people know, high school is full of pressures．

　　[2] Fitting in is not only a major part of middle school and high school, but it is also crucial throughout life．The dream of being one of the “in-crowd” isn’t a desire you can simply tell yourself not to have; it’s something you should try to avoid．

How can you pull away from the trends of today and make something that’s truly your own?

　　[4] First, you need to gather up some courage, because being different from everyone else can be a little nerve-racking(令人緊張的)．

　　[6] Others will always influence you, and that’s OK; it’s human nature．But don’t become a clone just so you can get to the top of the social pyramid．

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年廣東梅州市某重點(diǎn)中學(xué)高一下學(xué)期第一次質(zhì)檢英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

We don’t plan to cry, but it just happens. In fact when we feel sad or angry, a good cry is almost impossible to resist. But if you didn’t know what crying was, you’d have to wonder why some strong feelings started water streaming from people’s eyes and why they seemed to feel better afterwards.
Now a US researcher had found there may be more in crying than we think. William H. Frey II, author of “Crying: The Mystery of Tears,” believes it may really be one of the body’s clever self-repair mechanisms. Crying may be a way of getting rid of the by-products of stress, he says.
He has found that tears contain some chemicals which can cause stress. One of these is the hormone prolactin (激素), which is set free when one is feeling stressed. Since women have more of this than men, that might explain why they usually cry more, he suggests.
Unsurprisingly, Dr Frey’s study seemed to prove that most people feel better after a good cry. And sex has nothing to do with it ––– the result was true for women and men. So, next time you feel like bursting into tears, go ahead. If Dr Frey is right, you’ll be doing yourself a favour.
【小題1】The best title of this passage would be ________.

A．Why Do We CryB．Crying and Tears.
C．Dr Frey and Crying.D．Tears and Chemicals

A．crying is one of our habits
B．we can’t control it
C．crying is one of the body’s self-repair mechanisms
D．we can get the by-products of stress by crying
【小題3】According to the passage, men seem less likely to cry than women because_______.
A．their bodies contain less hormone prolactin
B．their tears contain more chemicals
C．they are not so full of feelings as women
D．the chemicals in their tears can’t cause stress
【小題4】The author advised us________.
A．to plan to cry very often
B．not to cry any more
C．to go outdoors without hesitation
D．to cry as we want to
【小題5】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Good cries can make most people feel better
B．Only women can feel better after crying.
C．It is easy to understand that people feel better after a good cry.

High school graduation is worth celebrating. It marks a big change in the lives of young adults. However, it ought to mean even more. It ought to mean that the graduate is ready for college or career.
In a report issued last year, we found that almost half of recent Illinois high school graduates required remedial courses(補(bǔ)習(xí)課) upon enrolling(注冊) a community college. These courses require time and money to complete, yet offer no credits toward a degree. Too often, students never get through those remedial courses and end up dropping out of college.
Why is the remediation rate so high? A large part of the reason is that we have not set high enough standards for what our students need to learn from kindergarten to high school. They simply aren’t equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
The same is true for careers. In Illinois, good jobs continue to go vacant(空缺) even while we are trying hard to go through tough economic times. This is due largely to the mismatch between the skills and knowledge we provide our students with and what employers in a modern economy need workers to know.
The good news is that in Illinois we have a plan to help get our students ready for life in the real world. We have already taken an important first step by becoming one of the 45 states to adopt the Common Core State Standards and have begun introducing them to classrooms this year. The new standards provide fewer, clearer and higher benchmarks(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) for academic progress. They focus on deeper knowledge required at each grade level, give teachers the opportunity to explore topics fully and ensure students can apply what they’ve learned.
Research shows that when expectations are raised, students rise to meet them. Adapting to higher standards and raising expectations may prove challenging, but they are the steps we must take so that our students are successful in high school and prepared for college and careers. Readiness is worth a celebration.
【小題1】According to the passage, in most cases, students taking part in remedial courses ___.

A．come from wealthy families
B．leave college before finishing their courses
C．a(chǎn)re offered credits toward a degree
D．a(chǎn)re likely to develop their academic interest
【小題2】The author uses the third and fourth paragraphs to __.
A．provide solutions to the rising remediation rate
B．show the present situation of unemployment in Illinois
C．suggest knowledge learned in school be put into practice
D．explain why students aren’t prepared for college and a career
【小題3】Which of the following statements about the Common Core State Standards is TRUE?
A．They were first adopted in Illinois.
B．More benchmarks are required.
C．They benefit teachers as well as students.
D．They ensure students’ success in college.
【小題4】Based on the last paragraph, what is the author’s attitude to raising expectations of students?
A．SupportiveB．Critical
C．DoubtfulD．Worried

Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags（標(biāo)簽） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老練的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（獲得物） have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
【小題1】Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.

A．they are forgetful
B．the owners of some luggage can’t be identified
C．they are in a hurry
D．there is no lost and found office in many airports
【小題2】The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.
A．they have to find the owners
B．they have to keep the bags as long as possible
C．some bags are expensive
D．they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purpose
【小題3】The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.
A．visitors may purchase something undervalued.
B．a(chǎn)ll thethings there are very cheap.
C．there's a large variety of goods.
D．visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there.
【小題4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.
B．The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.
C．The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.
D．People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.
【小題5】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce an attractive place to tourists.
B．To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.
C．To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.
D．To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.

There are some topics that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner（伴侶） is one of them. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time when Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs. Bennet, the mother of the five girls, is so eager to have her daughters married.

The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after.

Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and receives great attention from literary scholars（學(xué)者）.Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic（戲劇的）and a lot of novels and stories modeling after Austen’s memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.
