15、 those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much wi
16、thout the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals bulked (延伸) on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with
17、just one-term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as
18、 your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静止的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.36 Our long-te
19、rm goals mean a lot_.（A）if we complete our short-range goals（B） if we cannot reach solid short-term goals（C） if we write down the dates（D）if we put forward some plans37 New short-term goals are built upon_.（A）two years（B） long-term goals（C） current activities（D）the goals that have been completed38 W

22、 reach our destination（D）everyone should have a goal40 Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the style of a compo
23、ser, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of weaving and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns, and an expert carpenter(木匠) has the skill of joining together differ
24、ent shapes and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture. These skills may be referred to as“ workmanship“ (技艺). Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies (旋律 ) and rhythms and combines sounds to create harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good, original tune
25、s, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor, the final result will not be to standard. Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. There may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelate
26、d feelings. It may not express any important feeling at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly. Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected long after it is first introduced. It wil
27、l gain a kind of permanent status while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems to be“ the newer, the better“ , the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass.41 A piece of original music _.（A）has a personal style（B） sounds very familiar to
28、our ears（C） is one whose style you cannot recognize（D）can not be recognized as belonging to any composer42 We can see good workmanship in_.（A）different shapes and size of furniture（B） materials for creating colourful patterns（C） a piece of music with its melodies and rhythms organized in harmony（D）a
29、 piece of music with very good, original tunes mixed together43 A piece of music can be said to be good if_.（A）it helps to while away the hours（B） it combines different rhythms and sounds（C） it makes people forget their sorrows and worries quickly（D）it expresses a certain feeling in a proper way44 A
30、ccording to the last paragraph, “ the test of time is the hardest of all to pass“ suggests that（A）the newer the music is, the harder it can pass the test of time（B） it is most difficult for music to gain a kind of permanent status（C） pop music will cease to be enjoyed soon after it is introduced（D）g
31、ood music neednt pass the test of time45 This passage is concerned with_.（A）how to compose music（B） how to enjoy music（C） how to judge music（D）how to perform music45 Everyone seems to be in favor of progress. But “ progress“ is a funny word. It doesnt necessarily mean that something has become stron
32、ger, wiser, or better. It simply means changing it from being one thing to another and sometimes it turns out to be worse than before. Consider medicine, for instance. No one can deny that medical progress has enriched our lives tremendously. Because of medical advances, we eat better, live easier a
33、nd are able to take care of ourselves more efficiently. We can cure disease with no more than one injection or a pill. If we have a serious accident, surgeons can put us back together again. If we are born with something defective, they can repair it. They can make us happy, restore our normality, e
34、ase our pain, replace worn parts and give us children. They can even bring us back from the dead. These are wonderful achievements, but there is a price we have to pay. Because medicine has reduced infant mortality and natural death so significantly, the population has been rising steadily, in spite
35、 of serious efforts to reduce the rate of population growth. Less than a century ago in the United Stales, infant mortality claimed more than half of the newborn within the first year of life. Medical advances, however, have now reduced that rate to nearly zero. A child born in the United States tod
36、ay has better than a 90% chance of survival. Furthermore, medical advances have ensured that most of these infants will live to be seventy years of age or more, and even that life expectancy increases every year. The result of this progress is an enormous population increase that threatens the quali
37、ty of life, brought about by progress in the medical profession.46 According to this passage, “ progress“ doesnt always mean that_.（A）something has become stronger and better（B） something has been changed from being one thing to another（C） something has become funny（D）something turns out to be worse
38、 than before47 The children born in the United States today_.（A）will avoid being threatened by the tremendous medical progress（B） have as much chance of survival as before（C） will probably live to be seventy years old（D）have much more chance of survive than that of death48 In the last sentence of Pa
39、ragraph 2, “a price we have to pay“ means_.（A）something very expensive（B） something we have to lose or suffer（C） a large sum of money（D）something desirable49 This passage implies that population increase is_.（A）not beneficial（B） helpful（C） advantageous（D）desirable50 The main idea of the passage is t
40、hat_.（A）progress does not always bring about an improvement（B） modern medicine has made our lives better in some ways（C） the growth in population is partly the result of medical progress（D）progress is too difficult to understand50 Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assu
41、me that experts and religious leaders tell us“ the truth“. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers cant be bad for us. However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to sh
42、are the professors own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean , howe
43、ver, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the pre
44、mises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way. Professors dont tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors
45、in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness. 51 In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people_.（A）easily
46、 accept certain things without a second thought（B） grow up through learning certain things in life（C） are forming their views during their growth（D）have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old52 Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to , _.（A）criticize others（B） share p
47、rofessors beliefs（C） give their own ideas（D）change their own beliefs53 The word “shaky“ (Line l, Para. 3 ) most probably means“_“.（A）creative（B） firm（C）假（D）weak54 To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them_.（A）choice of their premises（B） the way to think independe
48、ntly（C） skills of drawing conclusions（D）different kinds of argument55 According to the writer, the right way to argue is to（A）argue mainly for the sake of arguing（B） prove it with a good conclusion（C） support your idea with sound reasoning（D）examine others ideas critically三、Cloze55 The human nose is
49、 an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals,【56】this is largely because,【57】animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are【58】to perceiving those smells which float through the air,【59】the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact
