Passage A

College is the time when you’re expected to focus on your path in life.But it’s also the time you’re the least equipped to have any long-term plan.　1　. 

The whole process can be divided into three stages.

The first is “gathering fuel”.This means building up your skills,learning from different experiences and developing a network of people who you trust and who trust you.And this is a stage that requires patience and a willingness to identify your own weaknesses and work on them.If you complete this stage with a growing sense of what you love to do and what you are good at,　2　. 

The second stage is “burning fuel”.This is the time to improve the skills you’ve obtained through experiences,the people you’ve met along the way and the recognition of what you should do.　3　.We want to get where we’re going in a hurry,but that hardly works. 

　4　.Simply speaking,it’s about staying strong,while turning an eye towards what lies ahead.It’s a surprisingly long journey and most people underestimate it.You can’t expect an ideal life to happen by itself.You must recognize that no matter where you are on the path,each step is there to teach you something,feeding you that fuel. 

If you’re not doing what you want,you need more fuel— so go out and get it.　5　. 

A.you are winning

B.that will come true

C.The last part is “saving fuel”

D.The final part is “filling fuel”

E.Here are some tips on how to aim your sights into the future

F.It seems that most of us try to jump straight to the next stage

G.And if you’re doing what you want,keep moving and don’t settle

Passage B

Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend one of Spain’s most famous carnivals in the city of Cádiz.You can only understand why it is one of the most important carnivals in the world after seeing it for yourself.Everybody was fancy-dressed from top to toe.　1　 

Almost instantly after stepping off the train,we were filled with joy.　2　 A number of people parading through the streets playing traditional music filled people with happiness and craziness like I have never seen before.As we wandered around,we saw that the creativity of some costumes was incredible!From Shrek to Japanese wrestlers,the imagination and effort put into the fancy dresses was remarkable.You could really tell that people put a lot of time and energy into making some amazing costumes. 

　3　 They were mostly old men singing some traditional songs.This gave the carnival a pure essence of originality,as they were singing from their heart.Furthermore,the fact that I was not able to understand the inside jokes did not matter,as I was attracted by the actions and expressions they provided.　4　 

As the night progressed,the streets got more packed with people.A moment that felt quite dreamlike was when we were dancing outside a convenience store with music provided by the owners booming through their speakers!Everyone who passed would be jamming along to the music.　5　.It was like a mini festival.After this special weekend of festival,it is true to say that the Spanish know how to party! 

A.Everyone was dancing.

B.People got more and more excited.

C.We saw everyone was in high spirits.

D.It made me feel like I was in a fairy-tale world.

E.Afterwards,we went to the main party at El Puerto.

F.Then there were the groups dotted around the city.

G.These mini street shows were a true taste of Spanish culture.

Passage C

Travelling along Silk Road

Travelling

Travelling along the old Silk Road can be a quite interesting and rewarding experience.Here is some information that the visitor should consider when planning a possible travel on the road.

Language

While travelling along the road,the visitor can meet with about 20 different nationalities.　1　 Some ethnic groups began learning Mandarin (普通话) and adopted the lifestyle of the Han people.Chinese became the official language in the autonomous regions.　2　 

Accommodations

The Silk Road spans most of China,from modern cities in the central China to villages and towns in the remote west.Accordingly accommodations along the route range from high standard hotels to simple guesthouse.

In big cities like Dunhuang,Urumqi,Lanzhou,the visitor can enjoy high standard hotels.They all provide excellent conditions and good services,and they are quite safe.　3　 Visitors without money may consider the cheaper guesthouses because these guesthouses with simpler equipment and basic service are fit enough to live in for most Chinese travellers.In the remote villages only simple lodgings are available.　4　 

Travel by Road

Buses are the most inexpensive method of transport along the Silk Road but,unfortunately,they are very slow.　5　 A travel by car can be the only way to visit sites far from cities or towns that would otherwise be hard to reach.Rental prices are based on the number of days and kilometers travelled,and sometimes they can be negotiated(协商). 

A.It offers good views of the mountains.

B.Some of them speak their own languages.

C.Learn some of their languages before going.

D.But this kind of hotels is also the most expensive.

E.These locations offer nothing but a quite simple room.

F.Cars are offered by some travel agencies and hotels.

G.Today,Chinese can be easily used among these nationalities.

Passage D

Keeping Your Life Busy and Exciting

Shake up your routine.It doesn’t matter if other people think you’re interesting;it only matters if you think you’re interesting.　1　.Whether it’s taking a different route home,or calling up a friend you haven’t spoken to in years,give it a try.It’s about surprising yourself,not other people. 

Find local events such as markets,festivals,and music events to attend.Pick out things in your area which you think might be interesting and give them a visit.　2　,especially in summer,which don’t involve spending much or any money.By doing these things which aren’t part of your routine,you’ll keep yourself surprised and energized. 

Explore your hometown.When you go on holiday anywhere,the place you’re visiting always seems so much more interesting than where you live.　3　.You just haven’t bothered to look properly since it’s been there all along.Open your eyes.What have you been missing? 

Accept all invitations.Even if you’re not that keen on the people going,try giving them a chance and go and hang out with them anyway.　4　—just once in a while. 

Plan a trip.Instead of spending your weekend at home,plan a trip for a 2-day getaway.You don’t have to take time off work and it doesn’t have to be expensive.It can even be half an hour away where you spend the entire weekend in a hotel basking(晒太阳) in the room service.　5　. 

A.Just go out and have fun

B.It doesn’t have to be all the time

C.There are often many local events going on

D.So you might as well stay for a few days

E.It’s a chance to relax and learn something special

F.Try to think of one thing each day you can do differently

G.But in reality,there is probably much to do around where you live

Passage E

From sports teams to movie characters,we love supporting the weak.While that’s inspiring for a film or a story,it can be hard to remain positive when you’re experiencing a struggle.It’s said that what is most personal is most universal.　1　 Here are some important reasons why you should share your story of struggles. 

You can shine a light for others.　2　 Sometimes,that’s all someone needs to get through a difficult time.You can help even more with ideas and solutions to apply creatively to their own problems. 

　3　 It’s uncomfortable to admit to others your failures,struggles or other moments of weakness.That’s true for everyone,yet opening yourself up to moments of weakness is surprisingly satisfying.It requires courage and being courageous requires practice. 

People will support you.　4　 We all do.So why not share the ways you’ve faced great difficulties and bounced back?If no one knows your struggles then they’ll never know to cheer for you or what you’ve overcome to reach where you are today. 

Another great aspect of sharing your story is that it helps you remember the lessons you learned.　5　　Understanding what happened and how you handled situations can provide you clearly with the ways on how to do things better and move forward.You can also share key experience alongside your story so others can learn,too. 

A.It helps you find your voice.

B.You love a good comeback story.

C.It allows you to practice courage.

D.You can objectively analyze your own past.

E.That’s why your story can bring much value.

F.Be open with the world about the good and the bad.

G.Sharing your story will help them realize they aren’t alone.

Passage F

Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits.Sure,it is nice to have the additional help with chores(家庭杂务),but it also fosters so much growth,sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become.It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming.　1　 

Through caring for farm animals,kids learn that in life others often come before self.　2　 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired.What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner. 

　3　 If the work on a farm does not get done,the operation fails.It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day,and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude.They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive.　4　 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life. 

Additionally,farming teaches patience.　5　 Cattle will be difficult to control.Horses will run away when you try to catch them.Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk.A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money.In spite of all that,kids will learn to be patient and take things easy. 

There may not be any instant reward,but in the long term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.

A.At the same time,they learn to work with others.

B.Farm life also teaches kids the value of hard work.

C.Children learn to be grateful for animals for eating purpose.

D.Teamwork is no longer an important skill to develop and use.

E.There are going to be a lot of days when things do not go your way.

F.However,what they learn on a farm can also be instrumental in their future lives.

G.Animals need to be fed,watered,and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.

Passage G

Teach Children the Value of Money

As we’re moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular,children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use.Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.

　1　 Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget.Then,research what things you will buy,work out which items may be better to buy.As you carry out each part of the activity,make sure to save all the receipts,and then evaluate if you managed to stay within,or broke your budget.　2　 

Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money.　3　 For example,14-year-olds are often making their own beds,so introducing a reward for such a “chore” is not a good idea;however,emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old.These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time,effort and money.Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest.　4　 

Coming up with and doing activities or day-to-day tasks together with your children,is not only much more enjoyable for your children,but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings,interest rates,or allowances.　5　 That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy. 

A.That is one of the most important factors for learning.

B.Involve them in everyday money management activities.

C.This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.

D.Giving your child regular pocket money,big enough to cover basic wants.

E.They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.

F.Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.

G.This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.

Passage H

Many people say “thank you” using text messages or chat these days.　1　 It’s a meaningful way to express gratitude when you receive a gift or become the recipient of someone’s thoughtful action.Address your letter warmly and make it personal and sincere. 

Open with a salutation.Begin your thank-you letter by addressing the person in the way that feels most natural.　2　 Whether the note is for your best friend,your teacher or your mom,this works. 

Express your gratitude sincerely.Thank-you notes are usually short and to the point,so start by thanking the person right away.　3　 Describing the gift a little will make it clear that you’ve thought about it and it’s something you cherish. 

　4　 Even if you don’t love the gift,think about the trouble and expense the person went to for your benefit.Show them that this effort,and the gift itself,is important to you.Try to be honest and sincere. 

Inquire after the other person or share a little news.Now that you’ve expressed your gratitude,it’s nice to write another few lines that show you care about the person.Ask some questions,and share information about your life.This makes all the difference between a dashed-off note and an actual thank-you letter,and the recipient will take even more pleasure in receiving your words.

Close the letter.Think about the nature of your relationship and choose the closing that seems most appropriate(合适的).　5　 

A.Be specific about what you’re grateful for.

B.If you can’t decide,it’s fine to just sign your name.

C.Either a handwritten or typed letter is totally acceptable.

D.Let them know why their specific gift is cherished.

E.However,nothing beats writing an old-fashioned thank-you letter.

F.It’s nice to write another few lines that show you care about the person.

G.In almost every situation,starting with “Dear [person’s name]” is appropriate.

Passage I

The Cassini-Huygens space probe, which reached Saturn last week has sent back amazing photographs of the planet's famous rings viewed in ultraviolet light. 1． The different colors show exactly what the rings are. The red means the ring contains tiny pieces of rock and the blue and green is likely to be a mixture of water and frozen gases. 2． That's why it is so light and it could float on water—if a big enough ocean could be found!

3． It aims to explore the planet and its rings and moons. It was launched in 1997 and its mission was to explore the “gas giant” planet, which is the furthest planet to be seen from the Earth without a telescope.

Scientists say the spacecrafts four-year tour of Saturn may tell them how the rings are formed. 4．

The probe has sent back pictures of some of Saturn's moons, including Phoebe and Titan. Phoebe has a strange shape. 5． Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, is believed to be the only body in the solar system other than the Earth with liquid on the surface. The images of Phoebe and Titan look strangely like photos of the Earth and our own moon, taken decades ago by the earliest space missions.

A．Saturn itself is made of gases.

B．The pictures are hard to take in space.

C．The probe is an international space project.

D．They will discover more secrets about the spacecraft.

E.The pictures show them in shades of blue, green and red.

F.It will also study the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field.

G.Unlike other planets and their moons, it is not perfectly round.

Passage J

Every day, we are faced with challenges and uncertainties. While these are things that are out of our control, we can most certainly control how we react and feel in such situations.1．Optimism is a simple yet powerful mindset that can affect us in many ways.

An optimist will be more committed towards his goals. When some people set a goal they don’t account for the problems they run into. They view them as barriers that can’t he removed. This is why the minute something doesn’t go as planned they start to shrink and give up.2．In fact, an optimistic person will merely look at the problems as new experiences and new possibilities. He understands that failure is just part of the process and welcomes it with open arms.

3．A survey conducted by Gallup found that only 35 percent of US managers are occupied in their jobs. This lack of devotion and its influence on employees costs the US approximately $77 billion to $96 billion each year. Optimistic leaders can help motivate their employees. 4．

Above all, optimism offers a healthier and longer life. A study from the University of Pittsburgh concluded that those who have an optimistic viewpoint have a 30 percent lower risk of heart disease. 5． Additionally, research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that optimists are less likely to experience disabilities as they get older and end up living longer.

In life, movement and growth is important and necessary, which optimism helps us achieve.

A．They see failure as a new start.

B．We can learn to keep optimistic.

C．Optimists also spread a good atmosphere.

D．They think about possible positive outcomes.

E.That’s because they are generally happier and less stressed.

F.On the other hand, an optimistic person is more open to problems.

G.Similarly, having a positive attitude can inspire everyone around us.

Passage K

Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成) in teams.Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.　1　 Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent? 

　2　 They focused on football,basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For football and basketball,adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that level,the team’s performance begins to decline.Interestingly,this trend isn’t evident in baseball,where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance. 

To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions.　3　 In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude that when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is too much talent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is,for example,trying to gain a high personal point total,he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate,affecting the team’s performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told,“There is no I in TEAM.”　4　 

Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team,some players may make less effort.Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added,everyone else pulls the rope with less force.

　5　 An A-team may require a balance—not just A players,but a few generous B players as well. 

A.It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.

B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.

C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.

D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.

E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.

F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.

G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
