Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.Successful and happy people imagine how their life should be and they set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind(her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver. But she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals arent difficult to set, and they arent difficult to reach. Its up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and at what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly(有规律地), and have more power. Like a contract(合同)with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a specific way you are able to make yourself always aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.22 .

A recent report by the Ministry of Education( 教育部 ) shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be, efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry. For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from. From dialects, we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission(国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums. The Beijing municipal education authorities(北京市教育部门) also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And its not just the government that is making an effort to keep the countrys dialects an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort, too. Wang Han, a well-known host of Hunan TV, has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough to keep dialects from fading away. What were doing now is mostly rescue works. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect”(名人效应) to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.36 . We cant often hear chatting locals adding “-er” to the end of syllables among todays Beijing dwellers, can we?37 . What endangers the existence of dialects?38 . Why do we try to save dialects?39 . Who is making efforts to protect dialects?40 . How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way?By _.41 . Are you for or against the governments efforts to save dialects? Can you think of any other way to help attract the young to use dialects?五、话题作文42 . 随着网络的不断发展，传统的学习模式受到了冲击，“网上学习”这一新的学习模式备受青睐。请以“Online learning”为题，并根据要点及要求，用英语写一篇短文。要点:1.网上学习有哪些优缺点；2.谈谈你自己的看法。要求:1.文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称；2.词数80左右Online learning_第 11 页 共 11 页参考答案一、完型填空1、2、二、阅读单选1、2、3、三、填写适当的句子补全对话1、四、回答问题1、五、话题作文1、
