Passage10(2013江蘇揚(yáng)州廣陵區(qū)，C) 

    Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life ： flowers bloom,baby animals are born,and the weather becomes warmer.During this time of year,people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings.However,for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring.We need to look at ourselves,set new goals,and decide how to improve ourselves.

    In England people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we’d like to change or improve in our lives,and we call this a New Year's resolution These can be anything from improving one^ health through exer?cise or cutting out bad habits,to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance.

    Luckily,we don't have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people. We can do this whenever we like. The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.

    Sometimes it’s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals,hut an old saying is to begin is to be half-way there，T.I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first,but once we begin,they get easier.For exam?ple,spending less time on QQ or playing video games and more time studying or communicating face-to-face can be difficult habits to change at first. But once we settle into the new routine and start to see the results,it's difficult not to wonder why we didn't do it sooner.

    The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic targets. If we do this,it's easy lo lose motivation because the end goal seems so far away.Try to make many siTiaH goals you want to reach on the way to your ultimate (最終的) goal.This way,you can see your progress easily.


l.In Paragraph One,the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time .

  A. to take a walk around outdoors 

  B. to enjoy fresh air and bright colors 

  C. to set goals for a fresh beginning for animals 

  D. to have babies

2. Which of the following might the writer agree with according to (根據(jù)) Paragraph Four?

  A. Be swift to hear,slow to speak.

  B. A11 that ends well is well.

  C. Well begun is half done.

  D. A11 roads lead to Rome.

3. What does the underlined word “daunting” probahly mean in Par- agraph Four?

  A. changeable    B. difficult   C.lovely D. dangerous 4. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

 A. If you see no progress,youUl be sad.

 B. Whatever happens,stick to (堅(jiān)持) your dreams.

 C. Never lose heart when meeting with difficulties.

 D. Your goals should be realistic and small.

Passage 1 (2015江蘇揚(yáng)州寶應(yīng)適應(yīng)性測(cè)試，六)

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文中的信息完成表格。每空一詞。

    Here are some simple steps on how to sleep well,from your bed to your diet.Our aim is to help you sleep better at night.

    Stepl: Food and drink Avoid coffee,tea,coca and cola drinks late in the evening as they all have caffeine.They may keep you awake.Don’t eat too much for your dinner,because your body will have to stay awake half the night digesting (消化) your meal,so you won’t feel rested in the morning. Milk,turkey and peanuts all have chemicals that help the brain relax.So have a turkey and peanut butter sandwich is a good choice.

    Step 2： Another thing that affects your sleep is the position you sleep in. We all have our preferences,but for a perfect nighfs sleep you should try to keep your body in a proper position,where both your head and neck are kept straight. All you need is a comfortable bed and some well placed pillows.

    Step 3：Your bedroom should be a place for sleeping only.lt is not a good idea to use your bed for doing work,making phone calls etc.Help your body recognize that this is a place for rest by throwing away anything related to work before you go to bed. Keep your bedroom dark while you are sleeping.As soon as ifs time to wake up,open the curtains or turn a light on. Lights help your body know ifs time to wake up.

    Step 4: Have a bedtime routine (常規(guī)) .Having a bath before bed will help your brain relax and prepare you for sleep. Reading a book or listening to the same piece of music every night may help too. Write down your worries and possible solutions before you go to bed,then stop thinking about them.
