【解析】

试题分析:本文属于说明文,介绍了希望在我们生活中的巨大作用,希望能够让我们前进,让我们实行自己的人生目标。

【1】without 考查介词及上下文。句意:希望能让我们前进。为自己设立目标很重要,但是如果没有希望,这些目标也不可能实现。根据句意可知使用介词without表示否定的条件。

【2】What 考查感叹句。在感叹句中what常常对名词或者名词短语进行感叹,how常常对形容词或副词表示感叹。本句中a sad belief是名词短语,所以使用what进行感叹。

【3】and 考查连词。本句中两个名词短语“the ability to see success in one’s mind”和“the strength needed....”构成并列关系,所以使用并列连词and连接。

【4】appropriately 考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词,而形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词。本句中副词appropriately作为状语修饰形容词短语be focused on reaching one’s goals。

【5】expectations 考查名词单复数。本句谓语动词是do,说明主语是复数名词expectations。句意:希望不会带来失望,但是期待可以带来失望。

【6】is created 考查语态。本句主语disappointment与动词create构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词在句中表示被动。所以使用is created。

【7】impatient 考查上下文串联。通过让人对失败感觉悲观,对新的恐惧和挑战不耐烦等行为带来失望。所填之词要和pessimistic为同一范畴的词,所以使用贬义词“impatient”。

【8】broader 考查比较级。句意:希望把人们实现目标的焦点带入到一个更广阔的视角。使用比较级与之前的视角进行对比。所以使用broader。

【9】allowing 考查非谓语动词用法。本句中动词hope与动词allow构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词短语allowing在句中做状语。

【10】them 考查代词。本句中代词them指代前句中的可数名词复数new fears and challenges。

【题目】Improve your memory

Do you find yourself forgetting where you left your keys or blanking out information on important tests? 1Before your next big exam, be sure to check out some of these tried and tested ways of improving memory.

Focus your attention on the materials you are studying. Attention is one of the major components (组成部分) of memory. In order for information to move from short-term memory into long-term memory, you need to actively attend to this information. 2

Structure and organize the information you are studying. Researchers have found that information is best organized in related groups.3Or you can make an outline of your notes and textbook readings to help group related concepts (概念).

4 When you are studying unfamiliar material, take the time to think about how this information relates to things that you already know. By establishing relationships between new ideas and previously existing memories, you can greatly increase the likelihood of recalling (回想起) the recently learned information.

Pay extra attention to difficult information. Remembering information at the beginning or end of an article is easy. However, recalling information from its middle can be difficult. 5 Another way is to try restructuring what you have learned so it will be easier to remember. When you come across an especially difficult concept, devote some extra time to memorizing the information.

【题目】Almost one in five drivers had dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking news report had showed. Of those who were dozing off, 29% have done so with their cars speeding at 70 miles per hour. The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making it almost twice as many as women.

The Safety on Wheel Report, by Post Office Insurance, also looked at how often tiredness or a lack of concentration caused accidents. Three in ten drivers have experienced an accident, from passing a walker crossing to hitting another vehicle, because of a lack of concentration. Meanwhile, almost half (49%) of UK drivers have driven when they do not concentrate.

Paul Havenhand, head of insurance at Post Office, said, When tiredness strikes, drivers should avoid the roads.” There is no measurement for tired driving, unlike driving under the influence of alcohol, yet it could result in an equally dangerous accident.

Drivers are advised to take a 15-minute break from driving every two hours. However, a third (36%) are so eager to reach their destination that they will ignore feelings of tiredness. What’s more, almost one in five (18%) will drive for longer than four hours without a break, while 6% carry on for up to 6 hours. Just over a quarter (27%) choose a quick stop to buy a cup of coffee, which is a very popular way for drivers to get rid of tiredness, and only 17% stop to have a rest until they feel energetic again. Mr. Havenhand added, “Drivers should plan ahead and rest before starting a long journey; besides, they can take regular breaks to recharge their batteries while on road; in some cases, if they do feel too tired to concentrate on the roads, they could consider an alternative means of transport.”

【1】Which suggestion is NOT put forward by Mr. Havenhand?

A. Preparing well for a long journey and taking a complete rest before it.

B. Having breaks regularly in order to feel refreshed.

C Choosing another method of transport instead.

D. Choosing a quick stop to grab something to eat.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “recharging their batteries” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Put a new supply of electricity into their batteries.

B. Get back their energy by resting for a while

C. Accuse them of stealing batteries

D. Pay twice more money for their batteries

【3】It is implied in the last paragraph that for drivers the most popular cure for tiredness is _____.

A. drinking coffee

B. talking with others

C. ignoring feelings of tiredness

D. singing songs

【4】What’s the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?

A. To warn people of the danger of tired driving

B. To tell people to be careful when walking on the street

C. To inform people of the importance of a good rest

D. To introduce some dangers while driving on the roads
