are necessary before we do everything Having taken a 41 of action without thinking we find at once too many difficulties small or big preventing our progress If we avoid acting hurriedly we can avoid most of our troubles For instance a young man has a gift for teaching and doing research work What a foolish act it would be for him to go and work as a businessman Most people fail to have a satisfactory life because they have 42 a job for which they didn t mean to go in Without taking into consideration our 43 and abilities for a particular business we should not run 44 into it However too much care and fear results in failure It is a mistake to hesitate or delay action when 45 action is called for When a swimmer has to save a drowning man he must act at once without delay Similarly to rescue a child or a woman from a burning house we must rush in without hesitation Where there is no room for delay and hesitation there must be no hesitation or delay So only with 46 of consideration courage and confidence can we get over any difficulty We can be 47 and realize our aims in life only by just getting the three points put together Foresight and 48 combined with courage and confidence in taking unavoidable risks are necessary With them we can prove ourselves able to deal with 49 problems and ensure success III III ClozeCloze TestTest 15 15 While some of the best

cattle and sleep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out which is thought to be responsible for global warming 用心 爱心 专心7 Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs kangaroo flatulence 胃肠气胀 contains no methane 甲烷 and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack 烟囱 pushing out carbon dioxide farm animals passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep said Athol Klieve a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government And if you look at another country such as New Zealand which has got a much higher agricultural base they re actually up around 50 percent he said Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep Another group of scientists meanwhile has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos And about 20 percent of health conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already It s low in fat it s got high protein levels and it s very clean in the sense that basically it s the free range animal said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales s institute of environmental studies 68 Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep A to prevent them from sending out harmful gases B to help Australian farmers to earn more money C so that they can protect Australian ecosystem D so that they can make full use of special bacteria 69 Athol Klieve seems to believe that A cattle and sheep produce more carbon dioxide B less cattle and sheep are raised in New Zealand C farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gases D New Zealand has the most animals in the world 70 The main idea of the text is to A discuss a better way to protect the each B warn farmers of the danger of animal waste C illustrate the possible solutions to pollution D present a recent study on global warming 71 Which is NOT one of the advantages that Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos A it is rich in protein B it is low in fat C it is cheaper than beef D it is cleaner than sheep C When in doubt cut that out Yeah yea Doubting Thomas may have had a 用心 爱心 专心8 point in his day and life may not be what you want it to be but if you constantly doubt yourself how can you accomplish anything Where is your confidence What possible good can come from taking the negative aspect of any situation and growing it into acceptance Purpose of achievement is to attain a goal So if you set your goals and strive to get there it should be assumed that you are moving toward your goal no matter what you are doing right When watching a football game one of those great high school starter games set to determine who starts when the real games begin I noticed the coach called defense only when the team was protecting their goal As long as the team was fighting for more ground they played offense 进攻 Along the same lines I ve heard the phrase a strong defense requires a good offense Simply put if you concentrate more on gaining ground than on protecting your goals your accomplishments will be greater Time spent protecting your goals is wasted time when you could be working toward attaining your goals rather than preventing others from reaching their goal In business if you waste your time focusing on what your competitor is doing rather than working toward meeting your goals you won t get very far Focus your attention on where you re going Don t waste time worrying about where your competition is You will gain ground while they are watching you Smile as you reach your destination 72 The writer of the passage intends to tell us A a common rule in a football game B how to beat our competitors C how to overcome our doubts and achieve our goals D how to deal with doubt in our business 7236 The author s purpose of mentioning Doubting Thomas in the first paragraph is to A show that famous people change our life B tell us to succeed we should not doubt ourselves C ask us to learn from successful people D tell us it s quite natural for people to doubt themselves 74 The author suggests that in business we should A avoid too much competition B seek as much cooperation as possible C focus on our own goals D know our competitors as well as ourselves 75 The passage is intended for A football players B coaches C businessmen D common readers D D 用心 爱心 专心9 A Who does freelancing B The pros and cons of freelance C What is the definition of freelance D Key to freelance success E What is freelancing really like F The best way to develop a career 76 Freelance 自由职业者 is a word that goes back to medieval 中古 世纪的 times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate Today it s an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture 77 What you gain is freedom of movement what you can lose is a sense of belonging You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare training safety career
