in life. instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. by setting goals you are taking control of your life. its like having a map to show you where you want to go. think of it this way. there are two drivers. one has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. she can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. the other driver has no goal or destination or map. she starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. which driver do you want to be? winners in life set foals and follow through on them. they decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. goals arent difficult to set-and they arent difficult to reach. its up to you to find out what your goals really are. you are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.1the article is written to throw light on _. a. the importance of setting goals b. the way of setting goals c. the winners of competitions d. the goals in life2the example of two drivers is adopted in order to _. a. compare the difference of goals b. explain the traffic rules c. help readers understand the importance of goalsd. tell the function of a map3the main idea of the fourth paragraph is that _. a. its better to write a goal down b. written goals cant be forgotten easily c. try to make yourself aware of your goals d. written goals can be reviewed regularlyches an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the marais, a historic area in pariswhen i took him my shoes, he at first told me: “i havent timetake them to the other fellow on the main street ; hell fix them for you right away”but id had my eye on his shop for a long timejust looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, i knew he was a skilled craftsman “no,” i replied, “the other fellow cant do it well”“the other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-u-wait” without knowing much about mending shoes or making keysthey work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋带） you might as well just throw away the pairmy man saw i wouldnt give in, and he smiledhe wiped his hands on his blue apron （ 围裙）, looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “come back in a week”i was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf“see what i can do?” he said with pride “only three of us in paris can do this kind of work”when i got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to mehe was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craftthese are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消费） rather than a way to realize their own abilitiesin such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done1which of the following is true about the old cobbler?ahe was equipped with the best repairing tools bhe was the only cobbler in the maraische was proud of his skills dhe was a native parisian2the sentence “he was something out of an ancient legend” （ paragraph 7 ） implies that_anowadays you can hardly find anyone like himbit was difficult to communicate with this mancthe man was very strangedthe man was too old3according to the author, many people work just to_arealize their abilities bgain happiness cmake money dgain respect4this story wants to tell us that_acraftsmen make a lot of money bwhatever you do, do it wellccraftsmen need self-respect dpeople are born equaldthe amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 astemperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. but a new studyin friday s edition of the journal science found a drought - related decline in such plant growthfrom 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.as drought caused by warming reduces the land s ability to take in carbon，the result couldbe more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，zhao maosheng from theuniversity of montana explained in a telephone interview.“this is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improveplant growth ” co - author steven running，also from the university of montana said in astatement. “ we see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level becauseprevious interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around theworld, “ he said.instead, he and zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a 6%increase in the past decade.their study，based on the data collected by nasa satellites，found that north areas continuedto increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.someone commented, this past decade s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that acomplex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably incombination with other factors such as nutrients (营养）and land management，will determinefuture patterns and trends in productivity.，1from the first paragraph, we can learnin the recent decade or so.a.the emission(排放)of carbon hasn t been reducedb.draught has been causing loss of soil and waterc.carbon dioxide levels have been risingd.the rise of temperature doesn t promote the plant growth2zhao maosheng really worried that.a.more and more land will be abandonedb.the climate becomes warmer and warmerc.the emission of carbon dioxide increasesd.draught further reduces the number of the plants3steven running made his statement to.a.confirm zhao s views on the influence of temperature riseb.urge the government to take necessary measuresc.warn the people to strengthen the plant protectiond.support zhao* s views on lhe plant production4 we can infer from the passage that.a.global warming will determine the future productivityb.various factors play a key role jointly on future productivityc.earthly productivity actually increased in the past decaded.temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns第ii卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空directions: read the following passage. fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. write no more than 3 words for each answer.a low-carbon economy (lce) refers to an economy which has a minimal emission of greenhouse gas (ghg), namely, carbon dioxide into the biosphere(生物圈). recently, most of the scientists and the public hold the opinion that the climate is changing because there is such an accumulation of co2 in the atmosphere due to human activities. the over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. lce, therefore, is proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change.all nations which are considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated should become zero-carbon societies and economies. several of these countries have promised to become low carbon but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that emissions will be cut by 100% by balancing emissions rather than ceasing all emissions.nuclear power and the strategies of carbon capture and storage (ccs) have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a lce while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources. scientists are afraid, however, whether the spent-nuclear-fuel can be stored, and whether it is secure. also they are not certain about the costs and time needed to successfully implement ccs worldwide and whether the stored emissions will leak into the biosphere or not. alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a lce, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times. furthermore, it has been proposed that to make the transition to an lce economically attractive we would have to attach a cost (per unit output) to ghgs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax.a lce is aimed to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation to power-generation around technologies that produce energy and materials with little ghg emission and thus around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently and dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output
