2、can change ones 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.Its not difficult for us to come up with several possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learn

3、ing is a kind of serious and hard 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

4、 experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a 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 that the i

5、mportance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.【参考范文译文】俗话说，知识能改变命运。因此，为了获得知识，我们必须努力学习。然而，不可忽略的是，有效的学习既离不开学习动力的存在，也离不开科学的学习方法。不难列举上述观点的原因。首先，学习是一件严肃且困难的事。因此，不是每个人都能在没有某种内在动机的情况下一直继续。此外，科学的方法在提高学习效率方面发挥着重要的作用。我们当中有不少人都认为，学习的

6、时间越长，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 Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation,

29、 help people lose weight. For years, nutritionists have recommended that pasta be kept to a 26 , to cut calories, prevent fat build-up and stop blood sugar 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

30、and potatoes for vegetables, fish and meat. More recently the trend of swapping 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 pe

31、ople drop more than half a kilogram over four months. The reviewers found 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 didnt 3 to weight gain or increase in body fat,” said lead author Dr John Sievenpip

32、er. “In 32 the evidence, we can now say with some confidence that pasta does not have an 33 effect on body weigh outcomes when it is consumed as part of a healthy dietary pattern.” In fact, analysis actually showed a small weigh loss 34 to concerns. perhaps pasta can be part of a healthy dietThose i

35、e paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph 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. Sto

36、res are closing. Malls are emptying. The depressing stories just keep coming. Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macys, 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

37、mortar stores (实体店) seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, 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 fa

38、cts you should consider. Looking only at that 15.2 percent "surge" would 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 comme

39、rce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 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

40、机) deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing anxiety over 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, depress

41、ed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. What's the real story?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

42、 creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of Macys put it recently, “Were frankly scratching our heads.”F) But its not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the dot. com b

43、ubble, brick and mortar retail was one of those industries the internet 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.

44、And then the gale hit.G) It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isnt a simple battle to the death between 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 sear

45、ch, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new 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, Apples massively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass reta

46、il stores and Amazons small steps in the same direction are 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 simple proces

47、s, and its also not happening on what used to be 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 widely anticipated changes werent quick, and som

48、e havent really started. With the benefit of 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 example, didnt move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but

49、 that doesnt mean it wont 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 hasnt been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online and therefore d

50、ont need to go to as many stores to find what they want. Theres a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds, 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

51、years 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

52、 when a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store, she can easily see if theres 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 an

53、d its smaller online rivalsMany 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 workAmong large traditional retailers, Walmart recently reported

54、 the best results, leading its stock price to surge, while Macys, Target, and Nordstroms dropped. Yet Walmarts year-over-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 after Amazon filed the oneclick pate

55、nt, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictionsA recent study graded more than 600 internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and payAlmost half of the sites didnt get a passing grade and only 18 percent got an A or BN) The turmoil on the ground i

56、n physical retail is hard to square with the Census data Unfortunately, part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliableOur deep 100k into those data and their preparation revealed serious problemsIt seems likely that Census simply misclassifies a large chunk of online salesIt i

57、s certain that the Census procedures, which lump the online sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart with“non-store retailers"1ike food truckscan mask major changes in individual retail categoriesThe bureau could easily present their data in more useful waysbut they have chosen not to.

58、O) Despite the turmoil, brick and mortar wont disappear any time soonThe big questions are which, 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 will operate busy stores on Main Streets

59、and maybe even in shopping malls, and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in each retail category. Investors shouldnt write off brick and mortar. Whether they should bet on the traditional players who run those stores now is another matter36.Although online retailing has existed for some twenty years, nearly
