Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams. Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period. People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals. By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them. Goal surroundings means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes. Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people bee more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.【小题1】The purpose of this passage is to _. Aexplain the difference between the two goals.Bshow the importance of surrounding goals.Ctell us how to set and achieve ones goals.Dtell us setting goals makes one confident.【小题2】The underlined word “proactive” in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to “_”. ApositiveBcarefulCbraveDprepared【小题3】According to the author, one had better _ in making a goal in life. Atake an active attitudeBcreate a scheme as a wholeCconsider the possible troublesDcheck where he is frequently【小题4】From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that_. Aachievements come to those who are well preparedBeveryone faces the situation which is scaring or threateningCthe higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will haveDsuccess never es to people who always blame 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语二模试题】When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope.

But Lorenzos parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure.

If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates （解放）money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.【小题1】According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement【小题2】From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _ .A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudiceD. ignorance【小题3】What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】D 【小题3】A2016高考英语阅读理解-人生百味类To Friend or Not To FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when were in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member. Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 【小题1】From Paragraph 2, we learn that _. Aparents feel secure about their privacy onlineBsocial networks successfully fill the generation gapCparents have realized the importance of social networksDsocial networks offer a platform for parents to communicate【小题2】Teenagers may refuse a parents friend request because _. Athey hide something from their parentsBthey are unwilling to be watched by parentsCtheir parents tend to fall behind in technologyDtheir parents make negative comments on them【小题3】The passage is mainly about _. Aprivacy onlineBsocial networks Cthe generation gapDparents friend requests【小题4】The passage is written mainly for _. AparentsBteenagersCteachersDresearchers
