2、's life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.It 's not difficult for us to come up with several possible reasons accounting for this perspective.In the first place, learning

3、is a kind of serious andhard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations . Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of exp

4、eriences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying fora long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion thattheimportan

5、ce of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident.

6、，成绩就会越好。但是我们周边同学 的很多经历证明这个观点并不完全正确。具体来说，长时间的学习是累人的，因此它很可 能会降低学习效率，而学习效率对于学业成绩来说却是至关重要的。综上所述，我们可以很容易就得出如下结论：学习动机和方法的重要性是不言而喻的，因 此我们非常有必要形成良好的学习方法。Part nListening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

For years, nutritionists have recommended th

29、at pasta be kept to a 26 , to cut calories, prevent fat build-up and stop bloodsugar 27 up.The low-carbohydrate food movement gave birth to such diets as the Atkins, Paleo and Keto, which advised swapping foods like bread, pasta and potatoes for vegetables, fish and meat. Morerecently the trend of s

30、wapping spaghetti for vegetables has been 28 by clean-eating experts.But now a 29 review and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers found that not only does pasta not cause weight gain, but three meals a week can help people drop more than half a kilogram over four months. The reviewers foun

31、d that pasta had been unfairly demonized （妖魔化）because it had been 30 in with other, more ft-promoting carbohydrates.“The study found that pasta didn 3 to wdight gain or increase in body fat, said lead author DrJohn Sievenpiper. "In 32 the evidence, we can now say with some confidence that pasta

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragra

35、ph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Best Retailers Combine Bricks and ClicksA) Retail profits are falling sharply. Stores are closing. Malls are emptying. The depressing storiesjust keep coming. Rea

36、ding the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macy' s,Nordstrom, and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit. The interact is apparently taking down yet another industry. Brick and mortar stores (实体店)seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough

37、, the Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.B) But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider.Looking only at that 15.2 percent "surge" w

38、ould be misleading. It was an increase that was on a small base of 6.9 percent. Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.C) More than 20 years after the internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3

39、 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016. Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015 and 2016.D) So, despite all the talk about drone (无人机)deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing anxiety ov

40、er consumers going online, and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a "huge antitrust problem," the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Of course, the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. What's the real story?

41、E) Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble. The retail industry is getting reinvented, as we describe in our new book Matchmakers. It's standing in the Path of what Schumpeter called a gale (大风)of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has

42、reached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of Macy ' s put it recently,“ Wd re frankly scratching our heads.”F) But it ' s not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retail was one of those industries the in

43、ternet was going to kill-and quickly. Thedot.corn bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, onventional retailers ' confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.G) It is becoming increasingly clear

44、that retail reinvention isn' t a simple battle to the deathbetween bricks and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the ne

45、w technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.H) More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep, Apple' s massivelysuccessful brick-and-mortar-and- glass retail stores and Amazon' s ismthe same directio

46、nare what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to mention the large number of creative new retailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.I) Retail reinvention is not a si mple process, and it ' s also not happening on what used to b

47、e called "Internet Time." Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly, of course. Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many wi dely anticipated changes weren' t quick, and some haven ' t really started. With the

48、 benefitof hindsight (后见之明 ),it looks like the interact will transform the economy at something like the pace of other great inventions like electricity. B2B commerce, for ex ample, didn ' t move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that doesn' t mwon

49、9; t do so over the next few decades.J) But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though it hasn ' t been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online and therefore don' t need

50、 to go to as many stores to find what theywant. There ' s a surplus of physical shopping space for thewdo, which is one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.K) The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new level of complexity to the process of retail reinvention. Even five years

51、ago most people faced a choice. Sit at your computer, probably at home or at the office, search and browse, and buy. Or head out to the mall, or Main Street, look and shop, and buy. Now, just about everyone has a smartphone, connected to the internet almost everywhere almost all the time. Even when

52、a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store, she can easily see if there ' s a better deal online or at another store nearby.L) So far, the main thing many large retailers have done in response to all this is to open online stores, so people will come to them directly rather than to Amazon a

53、nd its smaller online rivals . Many are having the same problem that newspapers have. Even if they get online traffic, they struggle to make enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline.M) A few seem to be making this work . Among large traditional retailers, Walmart recently r

54、eported the best results, leading its stock price to surge, while Macy' s, Target, and Nordstrdropped. Yet Walmart ' ©ver-year online sales only grew 7 percent, leading its CEO to lament (哀叹),“Growth here is too slow“ Part of the problem is that almost two decades afterAmazon filed the

55、one . click patent, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions . A recent study graded more than 600 internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and pay. Almost half of the sites didn' t get a passing grade and only 18percent got an A or B .N)

56、 The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data.Unfortunately, part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable . Ourdeep 100k into those data and their preparation revealed serious problems . It seems likely that Census simply misclassifies

57、a large chunk of online sales . It is certain that the Census procedures, which lump the online sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart with -store” noretailers"1ike food trucks . can mask major changes in individual retail categories . The bureau could easily present their data in mo

58、re useful ways . but they have chosen not to.O) Despite the turmoil, brick and mortar won' t disappear anhetime questions arewhich, if any, of the large traditional retailers will still be on the scene in a decade or two because they have successfully reinvented themselves, which new players wil

59、l operate busy stores on Main Streets and maybe even in shopping malls, and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in each retail category. Investors shouldn ' t write off brick and m ortOW/hether they should bet on the traditional players who run those stores now is another matter36.Although online retailing has existed for some
