Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.56Our long-term goals mean a lot . Aif we complete our short-range goalsBif we cannot reach solid short-term goalsCif we write down the datesDif we put forward some plans57Now short-term goals are built upon .Atwo yearsBlong-term goalsCcurrent activitiesDthe goals that have been completed58When we complete each step of our goals, .Awe will win final successBwe are overwhelmedCwe should build up confidence of successDwe should have strong desire for setting new goals59Even though our goals are drawn up, . Awe should stick to them until we complete themBwe may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunitiesCwe had better wait for the exciting news of successDwe have made great decision60It is implied but not stated in the passage that .Athose who have long-term goals will succeedBwriting down the dates may discourage youCthe goal is only a guide for us to reach our destinationDeveryone should have a goalBAustralians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water-drink recycled sewage（污水）or die.With the drought continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified（净化的）waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier.“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said Peter Beattie.“These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. Theres no choice. Its liquid gold, its a matter of life and death.”Beattie said Australias second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel. But Australians have never liked the idea.To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have backed Queenslands move.“I am very strongly in favour of recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said.Turnbull added that Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.“All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall,” he said.61The problem Australians are faced with is that .Atheir water is pollutedBthey are short of waterCit has rained a lotDmore land becomes desert62According to the passage, which of the following countries does NOT drink recycled water?ABritain.BThe USA.CCanada.DIsrael.63All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that . AQueensland would become the first state to use recycled water for drinkingBthe Australian government supports the idea of using recycled water for drinkingCall big cities in Australian are faced with shortage of water nowDNone of Australians like the idea of using recycled water for drinking64What does the underlined word “move” refer to?AOpposing to drinking recycled water.BUsing recycled water for drinking.CBringing in the idea of using recycled water for drinking.DStopping water pollution.65Whats the possible reason why there is great opposition to the measure?AThe recycled water is harmful.BAustralians dont know there is a shortage of water.CAustralians dislike their government.DAustralians think its hard to accept recycled water as drinking water.CYou are at the check-out a grocery store. You are ready to pay for your food. Then you find out that you have left your wallet at home! What can you do?Dont worry. You just have to put your finger near a special scanner. The grocery bill will be taken out of your bank account.We are not joking.A new system that scans customers fingerprints and subtracts（除去）the grocery bill from their bank accounts has taken supermarkets in Germany by storm. Stores, school canteens and even bars are picking it up.The Edeka supermarket chain is the first retail（零售）business in Germany to use to new system. “Almost a quarter of out customers pay with their fingers,” said an employee at the headquarters.Edeka has tried the system at 70 of its supermarkets. It says it will introduce it at 200 others because customers like it.“At first we thought that only the young who really keep up with the latest technology would be interested, but we were wrong,” said Stefan Sewoester from IT Werke.“Almost two-thirds of the people who use the system are 40 and older,” he said.IT Werke, a computer company, is one of the pioneers of fingerprint payment software in Germany. It has helped about 150 shops, canteens and bars to put in the fingerprint scanning machines. Each cost about 2,000 euros(20,000 yuan).To sign up for the service, customers must have their fingerprints taken and leave their addresses and banking details with the shop. The shop then takes the cost of goods directly out of the customers bank account.“It is especially a good thing for elderly people. Now they do not have to remember their pin(密码)to pay with their bank cards, or to look around for their glasses or cash”. Sewoester said.The stores benefits from the system too. It saves more than time in the check-out line. It also cuts out the hidden costs of accepting electronic card payments.66Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?APay with finger.BFingerprint scanning.CMoney is not needed!DA new system.67How is the bill paid when people are paying their bill with their fingerprint?AThe money will be taken directly from the customers bank account.BThe customer must pay the money and confirm it with their fingerprint.CThe money is to be paid through electronic card payment.DThe bill will be posted to the customers home.68Which of the following has most likely had the scanner fitted?AThe restaurant.BThe hotel.CThe school dining-hall.DThe hospital.69Which is NOT an advantage of the new invention so far?ACustomers dont have to pay their bill with money wherever they go.BCustomers dont have to remember their pin number.CStores can save a certain amount of money.DTime will be saved.70The writer of the text seems to .Athink that the new scanning machine does good only to customersBhold a neutral attitude toward this scannerCexpect that the new invention will soon spread aroundDbelieve that middle-aged people are more ready to accept new thingsDWhen you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. Its time to enjoy yourselves!There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. Its to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat (游船).But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.If you like the idea of a prom, why dont you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?71What does the word “prom” probably mean in the passage?AA dancing competition.BA party held
