All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmerDuring this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginningsHowever, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of springWe 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（决心）These can be anything from improving one s health through exercise 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 peopleWe can do this whenever we likeThe 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, but an old saying is to begin is to be half-way there I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easierFor example, 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 firstBut once we settle into the new routine and start to see the results, it s difficult not to wonder why we didnt do it sooner. The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic targets. If we do this, its easy to lose motivation because the end goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals you want to reach on the way to your ultimate（最终的）goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.58. In Paragraph One, the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time _ A. to take a walk around outdoorsB. to enjoy fresh air and bright colors C. to set goals for a fresh beginning D. for animals to have babies 59. Which of the following might the writer agree with according to（根据） Paragraph Four? A. Be swift to hear, slow to speak B. All that ends well is well C. Well begun is half done D. All roads lead to Rome 60. What does the underlined word daunting probably mean in Paragraph Four? A. changeable B. difficult C. lovely D. dangerous61. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. If you see no progress, youll be sad. B. Whatever happens, stick to （坚持）your dreams C. Never lose heart when meeting with difficulties D. Your goals should be realistic and smallDLight travels at a fast speed. It is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 0.334 km. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away from us. You can see the light from it tonight start to get to you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km every minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonights stars started on its journey to you before you were born.So, strictly speaking, we should not say, “The stars are shining brightly tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has just reached Earth.”( ) 62. Light speed is _ than sound speed. A. millions times faster B. a million times slowerC. about millions of times fasterD. about a million times faster( ) 63. If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that _.A. you can hear the gun before you see the smoke. B. sound does not travel as fast as light.C. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun.D. sound travels about a million times faster than light.( ) 64.The scientific way of saying “The stars are shining brightly tonight.” should be_. A. the stars have been shining all the time. B. the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later. C. the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight. D. the starlight seen tonight could be seen four years ago.( ) 65. The light of the nearest star you see tonight has been _ for years.A. on the earth B. on the moon C. away from the moon D. away from the star五、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）66.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up. One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt（尝试） at something new, so we should not feel disappointed （失望）and should try again. Besides(此外，而且), if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson （教训）that we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge （挑战）ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities. In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of achieving our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Never Give UpPossible meanings and the authors opinions The words “ Never give up” can_76_ others or oneself and express（表达） ones determination.
