5、net did, but the horror story is brilliant. There s ten sion and anxiety fromthe beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It s a real whodunit and thefrustration when you realise what s going on is horribly enjoyable.當(dāng)這個(gè)世界上所有的其他人都這么喜歡它的時(shí)候，我有一點(diǎn)不想愛上這個(gè)，但這個(gè)恐怖的故事是非常精彩的。當(dāng)尼克和艾米為你的信任而戰(zhàn)時(shí)，一開始就有緊張和焦慮。當(dāng)

6、你意識到正在發(fā)生的事情是非常令人愉快的時(shí)候，這是一個(gè)真正的抱怨和挫折。The Stand看臺(tái)Stephen King斯蒂芬金This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out %of the world ' s population,a battle unfoldsbetween good and evil among those left.

" This was an actual repl y from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids ' lac

8、rosse （長曲棍球）club.“你可以把我當(dāng)作最后的選擇，如果沒有其他人自愿的話，那么我會(huì)這樣做的。”這是我向我的孩子的曲棍球俱樂部提出志愿者要求后，一位家長真實(shí)的答復(fù)。I guess that there ' s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She mayjust need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings

9、. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren' t even on At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I 'll doit. ” 我想，在要說服一個(gè)人去幫助一項(xiàng)未知的活動(dòng)時(shí)，那個(gè)人可能會(huì)有一些苛刻的工作日程，或是社會(huì)的焦慮她可能需要一點(diǎn)說服力。所以我再試一次，拉著她的心弦。我提到了一位有四個(gè)孩子的單

10、親家長，我還談到父親在指導(dǎo)一個(gè)他的孩子都不在其中的團(tuán)隊(duì)這時(shí)，這位不情愿的家長開口了 ：“好吧。是的，我會(huì)做的?！盜 ' m secretly relieved because I know there ' s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities amongmany. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along

11、 the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluablemember of the team. The coach is ableto focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.我暗自松了

12、一口氣，因?yàn)槲抑涝谠S多人當(dāng)中分擔(dān)志愿者的責(zé)任是有真正的力量的。 這個(gè)不情愿的父母會(huì)安排用餐時(shí)間，發(fā)送電子郵件，收錢買季末禮物。在這個(gè)過程中，同一個(gè)家長最終成為了團(tuán)隊(duì)中非常寶貴的一員。教練能夠把注意力集中在孩子們身上，而其他的父母則因?yàn)橛忠粋€(gè)賽季不用操心而松了 口氣。給急紅眼的孩子們分發(fā)切片橙子就像看著自己的孩子進(jìn)球一樣令人興奮。Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understandi

13、ng of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社區(qū)） as you freely giveyour time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.盡管如此，當(dāng)志愿服務(wù)結(jié)束時(shí)，我們大多數(shù)志愿者都會(huì)松一口氣。這種解脫加上對為什么同樣的人會(huì)不斷回來尋求更多幫助的深刻理解：與社區(qū)聯(lián)系，因?yàn)槟憧梢宰杂傻亟o予你的時(shí)間、金錢、技能或服務(wù)提供真正的快樂。志愿服務(wù)感覺真好。

14、In that sense, I m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get somereward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?從這個(gè)意義上說，我很肯定志愿服務(wù)比我愿意承認(rèn)的更自私。然而， 如果其他人在這個(gè)過程中受益，我也得到了一些獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，那么我的動(dòng)機(jī)在哪里真的很重要？CMarian Bechte

And like more Americans, she s not alone.瑪麗安柏克德獨(dú)自坐在西棕桐灘路易酒吧的柜臺(tái)前，靜靜地讀著電子書，等著吃沙拉。她在讀什么?不關(guān)你的事! 午餐時(shí)間是柏克德的“自我”時(shí)間。 像更多

Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.一份新的報(bào)告發(fā)現(xiàn)，46%

17、的美國人是獨(dú)自用餐。超過一半的人(53%)獨(dú)自吃早餐，近一半(46%)獨(dú)自吃午餐。只有在晚飯時(shí)間，我們才會(huì)在一起吃飯，根據(jù)報(bào)告的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)，74%的人在一起吃飯?！?I prefer to go out and be out.

21、That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There wasa time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table.“ Itdoesn t feel as alone as it may have before all the advanc

22、es in technology, ” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.選擇的自由是越來越多的人喜歡獨(dú)自吃飯的原因之一。曾幾何時(shí)，人們可能會(huì)因?yàn)橐粡垎稳俗蓝械綄擂危欠N日子已經(jīng)過去了?，F(xiàn)在，我們有了智能手機(jī)來陪伴我們。 “它 不像科技進(jìn)步之前那么孤單，”勞里德米瑞特說，他的公司為這份報(bào)告提供了統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)。DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.

23、es grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASAHUNCHhigh school classrooms, like

24、 the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.細(xì)菌對宇航員來說是一個(gè)令人討厭的問題。來自我們身體的微生物在國際空間站的表面無法控制地生長，所以宇航員每周要花幾個(gè)小時(shí)來清理它們。美國宇航局如何克服這個(gè)非常小的大問題？現(xiàn)在輪到一群高中生了。但不僅僅是孩子。這取決于美國航天局亨奇高中的教室，比如紐約費(fèi)爾波特費(fèi)爾波特高中的一位科學(xué)教師吉恩戈登和唐娜希梅爾伯格。HUNCH is designed to connect high sc

For the past two years, Gordon s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they re close to a solution （解決方案）. “ We don tgive the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” saysFlorence Gold, a proje

26、ct manager.Hunch設(shè)計(jì)用于連接高中教室和NASA工程師。在過去的兩年里，戈登的學(xué)生一直在研究如何在零重力下殺死細(xì)菌，他們認(rèn)為他們接近解決方案。 “我們不給學(xué)生任何休息時(shí)間。 他們必須像美國航天局的工程師那樣去做，”項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理弗洛倫斯戈?duì)柕抡f?！?There are no tests, ” Gordon says. “ There is no graded homework.

29、NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.戈登說，HUNCH十劃對大學(xué)入學(xué)率和實(shí)際生活技能有影響。“這些孩子太專注于他們的學(xué)習(xí)，所以我就坐在后面。我不教。 ”那討厭的細(xì)菌呢？戈登說，他的學(xué)生每天都會(huì)給美國 宇航局的工程師發(fā)郵件，討論這個(gè)問題，為太空測試準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)可行的解決方案。第二節(jié)（共5 小題；每小題2 分，滿分10 分）Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself th

30、e question: “ Should I jump? ” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it. Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.想象一個(gè)孩子站在四英尺高的跳板上，自問： “我應(yīng)該跳嗎？” “這就是

31、動(dòng)機(jī)或缺乏動(dòng)機(jī)所能做的。動(dòng)機(jī)和目標(biāo)設(shè)定是同一個(gè)硬幣的兩面。沒有動(dòng)力，你既不能設(shè)定目標(biāo)，也不能達(dá)到目標(biāo)。就像跳板上的孩子一樣，你會(huì)猶豫不決。So how should you motivate yourself? More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only

32、then should you set your goals.那么你應(yīng)該如何激勵(lì)自己呢？更重要的是，你應(yīng)該如何保持動(dòng)力來實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)？首先，你需要評估你自己，你的價(jià)值觀，你的優(yōu)勢，你的弱點(diǎn)，你的成就，你的愿望，等等。只有這 樣你才能設(shè)定你的目標(biāo)。You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not

33、 in your work. This can affect your work. So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity （清晰）of thoughts can help youmove forward.你還需要判斷你的動(dòng)機(jī)的質(zhì)量和深度。這很重要，因?yàn)樗苯雨P(guān)系到你的承諾。有時(shí)候你的心不在工作中。這會(huì)影響你的工作。所以，放慢腳步，想想你此刻真正想做什么。思想 的清晰可以幫助你前進(jìn)。Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze

34、 your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Rememberthat goals are flexible. They can change according to circumstances. They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.另一種設(shè)定現(xiàn)實(shí)目標(biāo)的方法是分析你的短期和長期目標(biāo)，記住你的信仰、價(jià)值觀和優(yōu)勢。記

35、住目標(biāo)是靈活的。它們可以根據(jù)情況變化，也需要是可測量的。在設(shè)定目標(biāo)時(shí)，你必須牢記這些要點(diǎn)。Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may wantto be a pilot but can' t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. However, this should not discourage you. You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to

36、 set a fresh goal.你的個(gè)人情況同樣重要。例如，你可能想成為飛行員，但不能成為飛行員，因?yàn)槟愕囊暳Σ粔蚝?。然而，這不應(yīng)該使你氣餒。你應(yīng)該重新評估你的目標(biāo)，并激勵(lì)自己去設(shè)定一個(gè)新的目標(biāo)。You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of s

37、etting your goals.你肯定需要克服一些困難，一些是有計(jì)劃的，但大多數(shù)是無計(jì)劃的。沒有足夠的動(dòng)力， 你就無法克服它們。在設(shè)定目標(biāo)的時(shí)候，一定要為這些困難做好計(jì)劃。第三部分語言知識運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)（共20小題；每小題分，滿分 30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。It ' s about 250 miles from the hills of west- central Iowa to Ehlers ' home in Minnesota. During the long trip home,

38、 following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers thought about the small dog he had seen trembling alongside the road. He had tried to coax （哄）the dog to him but, frightened, it had run off. 從愛荷華州中西部的小山到明尼蘇達(dá)州的埃勒的家大約有250英里。在回家的長途旅行中，經(jīng)過一個(gè)周末的打獵，埃勒斯想起了他看到的那只在路邊顫抖的小狗。他試圖哄騙那條狗靠近他，但小狗嚇壞了，它跑掉了。Back home, Ehlers was

39、troubled by that 10st dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove back. After a long and careful search, Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving cautiously away. Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him. Nervousness and fear were replaced with joy. It just

40、 started licking （舔）Ehlers ' face.回到家里，埃勒斯被那只走失的狗困擾著。所以，四天后，他給他的朋友格雷格打電話，兩人就開車回去了。經(jīng)過長時(shí)間的仔細(xì)搜索，格雷格看到狗穿過田野，小心翼翼地走開了。 埃勒斯最終成功地把動(dòng)物哄住了。緊張和恐懼被歡樂所取代。小狗剛剛開始舔埃勒斯的臉。A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one advertised as lost in the local paper. The ad had a phone number for a town in southern Mich

41、igan. Ehlers called the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had found their dog.一位當(dāng)?shù)剞r(nóng)民告訴他們， 這條狗聽起來像是在當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙上登的“尋物啟事”的廣告。廣告上有一個(gè)來自密歇根州南部城鎮(zhèn)的電話號碼。埃勒斯打電話給杰夫和麗莎， 告訴他們他找到了他們的狗。Jeff had hunted in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog, Rosie, but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched in vain

42、for Rosie in the next four days.杰夫在感恩節(jié)前和他的狗羅西在愛荷華州打獵，但槍聲把狗嚇跑了。杰夫在接下來的四天里沒有能找到羅西。Ehlers returned to Minnesota, and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to putRosie on a flight to Michigan. "It ' s good to know there ' s stillsomeone out the rewho cares enough to go to that kind of trouble

43、 ,“ says Lisa of Ehlers ' rescue effort. 埃勒斯回到明尼蘇達(dá)州，然后驅(qū)車100英里到明尼阿波利斯,把羅西送上飛往密歇根的航班。談到埃勒斯的救援行動(dòng)時(shí)，麗莎說：“很高興知道還有人非常關(guān)心這件事，愿意冒這樣的風(fēng) 險(xiǎn)?！薄癐 figured whoever lost the dog was probably just asclose to it as I am tomy dogs,“ says Ehlers. "If it had been my dog, I ' d hope that somebody would be willi
