13、Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should I jump?" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. ① Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
② More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weak nesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ③ So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity (清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. ④ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ⑤ You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. However, this should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals?
E. They can change according to circumstances.
F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.

11、Reggie couldn’t hear a thing. He was a 1 boy, but he had been born deaf. He was well-known to everyone in town, and they were all 2 him. Unfortunately, though, he 3 seemed to end up being treated differently from everyone else. Children worried they would 4 him, and that maybe because he wouldn’t hear the ball being hit in his 5 . Adults acted like he was unable to 6 them, as though he was some kind of baby.
His friend Michael didn’t like this. He decided that things had to be 7 . Michael’s father was the town’s mayor(市长), and Michael 8 to convince him that this year, in honor of Reggie, they should offer one day of the 9 to deaf people. During that whole day everyone would have to wear earplugs(耳塞).
People liked the 10 . The day became known as The Day of Silence, and when it arrived, everyone stuck plugs in their 11 , in a spirit of great fun. That morning was filled with 12 and laughter. But, as the hours passed, people became more and more aware of how 13 life was when they couldn’t hear anything.
On that day nobody was thinking of Reggie as just a 14 person. This meant he could be 15 just like any other boy, and people saw a whole new side of 16 . Not only that, but Reggie had a bright and sharp mind. On that day, using his usual 17 , Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. This meant that people paid more attention to what he was saying, and they were 18 by his intelligence and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem.

12、Fishy Weather Conditions
Laj amanu, Australia, is a dry little town, sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert. Can you imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from a dark gray cloud. It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.
How do clouds make fish? The simple answer is that they don't. There is a particular weather phenomenon(现象) called a waterspout. A waterspout is just like a tornado, only it forms above oceans, lakes, or rivers. Like a tornado, a waterspout moves in a circle at high speeds. When it moves above the water, it tends to carry the fish with it, as well as frogs or other small plants or animals.
Scientists couldn't work it out at first. To make matters stranger still, the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground, but they were all blind. In England and Australia, it rained fish and snakes, and none were blind. It was difficult to puzzle out, but the blind fish gave them a place to start.
Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep, underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight. So when blind fish rained down on Honduras, scientists began to connect some dots. Clearly, these particular fish were pulled from an underground water source by force.
It has rained fish on every continent, and each time, people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon. Historically, villagers thought the "fishes from the heavens" might be answers to prayers for food. Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans, leaving the fish on the city streets. No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred, only the fish left on the ground. But in 1990, a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fishes began. They recorded what was happening and made history by finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky.
This huge breakthrough wasn't just a spot of good luck. It changed thousands of years of myths and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves. It explained ancient cave paintings and shed new light on how species have spread over time. It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather.
1.According to the passage, a waterspout ________.
A.can make animals blind
B.is difficult to catch on film
C.can carry items with it
D.is a dangerous sea creature
2.The blind fish made the scientists start to think that ________.
A.raining fish was a warning of natural disasters
B.animals changed to match their environments
C.the weather system differed from place to place
D.the waterspout theory seemed more possible
3.From Paras. 5 and 6, we can learn ________.
A.how species in the area changed over time
B.the importance of finding the truth behind the event
C.that the discovery cleared up many different scientific theories
D.how the understanding of waterspouts affected other areas of science
4.The author writes the passage to ________.
A.describe the magic phenomenon
B.explain what caused the fishy weather
C.persuade people to protect the environment
D.encourage people to do scientific research

11、 The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial (帝王的) palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early 15th century, large-size construction caused 100,000 common people to lead a hard life. The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420. In the following year, the capital of Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty-four emperors of the Ming and the Qing Dynasties ruled from the Forbidden City. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. It was not until 1925 that the complex buildings were changed into a museum. Since then, the Palace has been opened to the public.
The Palace Museum is rectangular(长方形的) in shape, about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from west to east. There is a 10-meter-high wall, encircled by a 52-meter-wide moat (护城河) . In the Ming Dynasty, the wood needed for the building was brought mostly from Sichuan and Hunan Province, while in the Qing Dynasty, it was cut from the northeast of China. Most of the stones were mined from the suburban (郊外的) district of Fangshan and other districts. Construction of the Forbidden City brought hardship to the laboring people.
The palace is the largest piece of ancient Chinese architecture still standing. Some of the buildings were damaged by lightning and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The palace has been expanded several times, but the original design was kept. After liberation, some costly renovations (翻新) were done and the Palace Museum is listed as one of the important historical sites under special preservation by the Chinese government.

12、Travel to Meet the Most Real yourself
"Joe, did you book your ticket yet?" I asked.
"No. I changed my mind I'm not going to go."
"What? You aren't going to Australia? We've been planning this vacation for months!"
"Yeah, I don't feel like it. We'll go some other time."
Over the coming weeks. I attempted to get my friend to reconsider, but to no avail. When Joe changed his mind, he changed his mind. Our trip to Australia—our big postcollege adventure—was off. And none of my friends wanted to replace him. If I wanted to travel, it would have to be on my own.
It's a pattern that has repeated itself over the years. While a few people have joined me along the way. But when it comes down to the wire, something always comes up, they're suddenly too busy, or they get cold feet and change their mind.
It's taught me that if I wait for others, I'll never go anywhere.
But there are places I want to go, people to see, experiences to have, and food to try— and only so much time to accomplish it all.
So I refuse to wait—I won't let others keep me from realizing my dreams. It can be scary traveling alone—especially when you've never done it before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from life is scarier.
If you've been putting off a trip because you're waiting for someone to go with—stop. Just go. Don't let others hold you back from your dreams. Trust me, along the way you'll make plenty of friends—from other solo travelers who thought "Screw it, if I don't go, I'll never go" to locals interested in meeting new people. You're never alone when you travel.
More than that, solo travel gives you ultimate freedom. You wake up and it's just you—what you want, where you want, when you want. In that freedom and infinite space of possibility, you meet yourself. You hit the limits of what you like and don't like. There's no one to pull you in any one direction or override your reasons. Want sushi? Get sushi. Want to leave? Leave. Want to try bungee jumping? Go for it.
It's sink or swim and you have to learn how to survive—who to trust, how to make friends, how to find your way around alone. That's the greatest reward of solo travel—the personal growth. Each time you go away, you learn to become a little more independent, confident, and in tune with your emotions and desires.
Solo travel is not for everyone. Some people return home soon after departing, others cry for weeks before embracing it, and some just embrace it right away. But you'll never learn that if you don't travel once by yourself. Whether a weekend away, a two—week vacation or trip around the world, try it at least once.
Don't wait for people or hold back from living your dreams. You could be waiting a long time until someone finally says "yes." There's only now and if you don't go, you'll regret it.
Because if I hadn't stopped waiting, I'd still be in my cubicle, trying to convince Joe to go to Australia, and wondering if I'd ever get to see the world.
1. Why isn't Joe going to Australia?
2. What did the author do over the coming weeks?
3. What did the author learn from the solo travel?
4. How will you do if you meet the situation like the author?
13、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. ①__________But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
? When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America,you might ask,“ Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” ②__________
? Hit the streets with confidence. ③__________Say,“Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up.
? Move on to the next pennon if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don't get discouraged.
? ④__________Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from inteniew to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If evenone is giving you the same answer, you won't be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. ⑤__________
? If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don't leave work without them.
A. Limit your time.
B. As you approach people, be polite.
C. If you don't own a camera, you can buy one.
D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.

13答案及解析:
答案:D; G; B; A; F
解析:语篇解读本文是一篇说明文,文章就“如何进行街头采访”给出了一些建议。
答案解析
1. D下文提到“但是有了这些技巧,你的首次街头采访会容易些”。由此可知空格处应该是指“对新手来说,这似乎是一个具有挑战性的工作”。D项符合语境。
2. G上文是一个以why开头的问题,G项意为“有一个像这样的问题,你不会仅仅得到‘yes’或‘no’的回答”。误解分析:易误选E项。E项中“ask them the same question"造成了干扰。但是前半句“为了得到好的且有用的结果”与文意没有联系。
3. B根据下文中“Excuse me”,可知这里的建议应该是提问时要有礼貌,而B项中的polite与其相呼应。
4. A 根据下文“Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes.”可知这一段的建议是要限制采访的时间, 故A项符合语境。
5. F 上文提到“A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten." 而F项中“That number of interviews...”与其相呼应,故F项符合语境。
