29、 in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel pain in their bones. This is a sign of the coming of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming. They fly near the ground if rain or stormy weather is on the way. It is
30、 probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine.

Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal i
35、s properly cared for. If you dont know much about dogs, its a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. In reading about the different breeds, you should know that a dog described as very alert may be too jumpy and
36、 bouncy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog wont be happy living in a small apartment. Dog breeds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd, this is because it provides protection as well as
37、companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice.

40、提及， C只是短文的一个建议，不能成为主题。 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Hello, everyone. Im Guy Winch. Today well talk about New Years resolutions. Every new year we make a list of resolutions, hoping to better ourselves and our lives, only to abandon our efforts entirely by Feb. 1(if not by Jan. 2). Such failures are not mere
41、disappointments, as they can create emotional wounds that impact our psychological well-being. Indeed, too often the annual ritual that is meant to improve our lives leaves us concluding were lazy, weak, or incapable of change and feeling even worse about ourselves than before we started. But are we
42、 lazy, weak, and incapable of change, or are we judging ourselves unfairly? Rather, its because we neglect to think through how we plan to achieve our goals. Indeed, we tend to make three very basic but crucial errors before we even start. The good news is that addressing these mistakes can radicall
43、y increase our possibility of sticking to our resolutions and finding success. Some or even all of them will be familiar to you, but dont beat yourself up about past mistakes. As I said, these are very common errors. Instead, invest your energies in fixing them this year. The first mistake is that m
44、any of us compose a list of New Years resolutions that is longer than our childs list to Santa. New Years resolutions are not bucket lists, theyre statements of short-term intentions. Therefore, choose one or two items at most, and focus on completing those. The second mistake is that our goals are
45、too vague to be measured in some way. For example, a goal such as “Try harder at work“ sounds good but provides no specific benchmarks by which we can measure our progress. To avoid this error, make vague goals more specific: “Complete all assignments on time, “or “Ask for more responsibilities.“ Ap
46、art from the above mistakes, the most common one we make is to state our resolution but put no thought into how we will attain it. Then Jan. 1 rolls around and we have no idea where or how to start. Therefore, invest time and thought into how best you can reach your goal. Break it down into sub-goal
47、s, be specific about what you will need to do to reach each one, and figure out how you to deal with setbacks and distractions. This is especially important for health and fitness goals as setbacks and distractions will happen. Good luck and Happy New Year! 16. What do we learn about failing to stic
48、k to our New Years resolutions? 17. Why should we address the mistakes before making New Years resolutions? 18. What is the most common mistake that we make about New Years resolutions? 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 录音开头提到，放弃新年时下的决心会产生情感创伤 (emotional wounds)，影响我们的心理健康。由此可知 B项正确。该项的 health对应文中的well-being。 A项 “影
49、响我们的身体健康 ”是根据录音中个别字词 wounds而设置的干扰项，录音提到的是情感创伤 (emotional wounds)；我们每年定下新年决心的目的是使我们的生活变得更好。放弃新年愿望时下的决心是否会让生活更糟糕无法得知，排除 C项；录音提到，放弃新年时下的决心会让我们 “认为 ”自己懒惰和懦弱，但实际上并非如此，我 们放弃的原因是在设定新年目标时犯了一些错误，导致我们无法实现这些新年愿望，故不选 D项 “使我们变得更懒惰和更懦弱 ”。 17 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 录音提到，解决这些错误可以从根本上增加我们坚持决心和取得成功的可能性。由此可知 C项 “帮助我们实现新年时下的决心 ”正确。录音提到，你可能熟悉这里提及的一些或者全部错误但不要为自己过去的错误而自责，相反，我们应该花精力改正今年新年决心的错误，故 A项 “让我们熟悉这些错误 ”并不是解决错误的原因。 B项 “帮助我们改正过去的错误 ”也可以排除； D项 “让我们变得 更有活力 ”只是利用录音提到的 energy做干扰，其内容没有依据。 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文接着提到，我们最常犯的错误是我们没有考虑如何实现新年计划。因此，我们要投人时间和心思来达到最佳目标。由此可知 D
