Every once in a while, it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long, hard look at where we are in our lives. At this point, it is good to ask yourself a bunch of critical questions. Are you at the point in your career where you want to be ? Have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life ? If so, then maybe it is time to make goals that stretch yourself a bit more. If you have not accomplished your goals in life, then perhaps you have made the mistake of setting too many goals or trying to accomplish them at an unnaturally fast pace.
It is necessary to set reasonable, intelligent goals in order to succeed in life. Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. But you should try to recognize what you want, and to be as specific as possible when attempting to visualize（形象化） or otherwise express what your goals in life are.
In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. The bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. If you want, for example, to be the greatest concert pianist, in the world, then you are going to find yourself a lot more motivated than you would be if your goal were merely to, say, play a couple of Beethoven pieces extremely well. If you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. But if that is your only goal as a pianist, then you will stop growing as a pianist once that goal has been achieved. This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.
54. From the passage, if your goals have all been achieved, you should then ______.
A. ask yourself some serious questions
B. take a hard look at your success
C. set some other intelligent goals
D. stretch yourself to relax
55. By saying “l(fā)ife is not a fairy tale”, the author suggests that you should ________ .
A. set as big a goal as possible
B. try hard to realize your dream
C. make your goals practical
D. abandon all your ambitions
56. To perform several Beethoven pieces well is a goal that _______.
A. is not suitable for the pianist
B. is appropriate for a beginner
C. stops you from growing as a pianist
D. is very easy to achieve
57. What is the best title for the passage ?
A. Set Intelligent Goals for Yourself
B. Try to Accomplish Your Goals
C. Get Yourself More Motivated
D. Goals Help You to Succeed

On the first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “ Don’t 16 her,” warned Lauren, who sat beside me. “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many 17 differences － lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really uneven teeth.
Every day 18 we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults(侮辱) at Amy. “God，what a strange face! Stop 19 me!”“Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her glasses, and now her eyes are frightening me. 20 her put them back on!” For a while I shouted my 21 of insults, just so I’d fit in. 22 , I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart 23 for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so 24 and alone. Then I wanted to 25 her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates － 26 the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class was there, 27 Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have 28 like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. 29 we began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and every once in a while she would laugh in excitement.
On the school bus the next morning, there was much 30 about Amy and me skating together. But 31 insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year. I 32 heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always 33 that I changed her life for the better.
She changed my 34 . After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress people by trying to 35 like them. I became myself.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學年湖北黃岡中學高三最后一次適應性考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside.
There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long.
There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures.
Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater：The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass.
It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed.
Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere.
“And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled.
This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film.
Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films.
Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映機) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time.
Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions.
“We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan.
Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene.
1.. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________.
|
A．living in Broome is inconvenient |
|
B．the life in Broome is boring |

C．few people like to live in Broome |

2..Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________.
|
A．it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world |
|
B．the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass |
|
C．it was built by some constructor from Hollywood |
|
D．a(chǎn)ll the films were imported here from Hollywood |
3.. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________.
|
A．a(chǎn) place |
B．a(chǎn) film |
C．a(chǎn) movie star |
D．a(chǎn) country fellow |
4.. It can be inferred that the tourists in Broome are most attracted by ________.
|
A．its peacefulness |
B．its beautiful sunset |
|
C．the Sun Pictures |
D．the gallery of movie stars |
