2019-2020年高考英语 任务型阅读专项训练（二） Word版含答案There are many things that we wish to achieve in life. For some, we set goals and objectives, and for some we dont. Try to remember the last time you set a goal to achieve a certain task. Were you able to plete the task in an effective manner? The tasks which are done by setting and meeting daily goals will definitely be useful and rewarding experiences. A step-by-step approach towards achieving smaller goals is the key to achieving larger ones.When it es to the workplace, each and every employee is expected to meet daily responsibilities and expectations. With organizations being more and more petitive, the importance of goal-setting for employees is increasing. It helps the employee to perform better and increases his or her efficiency and time management. Its also important for every student to set high academic goals so as to be able to build a good career. Setting goals for pleting the daily schedule helps an employee to finish the assigned tasks and targets in a timely manner. If an employee is performing the way he or she is expected to, then this will automatically increase the performance, output and productivity of both the employee and the organization. Daily study targets are the same. This helps you plete your assignments within the set time, thus putting less pressure on you during exams and increasing your chances of performing well.How many times you have to be at work on a weekend just to plete your work? How many times you have had to stay up all night to plete your homework or study for your exams? Had you followed your set goals and targets right from the beginning, you would have spent the time relaxing rather than being busy working or studying! Setting up goals and objectives helps you organize your time and efforts in an efficient manner. In performing your work diligently, you are likely to keep a steady pace when it es to fulfilling your set targets. Because you are already on track, there will be no unnecessary workload and time limits over your head. Therefore, another benefit of effective goal-setting is lack of stress and a more calm and relaxed mind. Only a stress-free and calm mind can house progressive and productive thoughts. A calm mind causes positivity, which goes a long way towards increasing your ability to achieve the personal goals you have set for yourself.Each and every human being aims to achieve two things: to fulfill desires and to enjoy life. This is possible only through proper discipline and time management. Goal-setting leads to not only professional growth but also personal growth and development. You are expected to know that every step counts and that setting up goals is easy, but following them on a consistent basis is difficult. Therefore, if you want to be successful and also harvest the fruits of your hard work, you need to stick to your set goals and be focused towards achieving them. Realize the significant role that goal-setting plays in your life, make sure that you do all you can to achieve what you want., set your goals, work towards achieving them and celebrate your success!Passage outlineSupporting detailsSignificance of goal-setting in achieving successIn face of petition , employees with goals can perform better as well as (71)_ efficiency and time management.Students who want to build a good career should attach(72)_to setting high academic goals.Increase output and performanceBy setting goals , an employees can increase output and performance instead of (73)_ pleting his or her tasks.Students can have less pressure and perform well with the aid of daily study targets.Help in time managementYou can have your time and efforts (74)_ better if you follow your setting goals from the beginning.Youre likely to have more time for (75)_instead of occupying yourself in working or studying.Reduce(76)_ levelsChances are that you can fulfill your set targets steadily (77)_ to lack of pressure.Effective goal-setting is (78)_ for you to keep a relaxed mind, which can result in positivity.Every step countsYou should be (79)_that its difficult to follow your goals consistently.Your hard work will (80)_ off if you stick to your set goals step by step.BFrom the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased largely. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter (屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel（方向盘）, his car bees the additional part of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may bee unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and pletely selfish. All their hidden anger, disappointments and envies seem to be exposed by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society only smiles so kindly on the motorist when seeing his behaviors talked about above. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to bee almost unsuitable to live because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is damaged by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter bees nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten. It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. In regard to driving, the laws of some countries are dishonorably loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through inflexible annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can destroy a persons driving ability, so present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. The highest and lowest speed limits should be put on all roads, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound unacceptably harsh. But surely nothing should be considered to be too severe if it results in reducing the annual loss of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not for motor-cars.Title: Strict Traffic Laws Can Prevent AccidentsPresent situation of road accidents Road accidents seem to happen (1) _.We are quietly sitting back and letting road slaughter happen.(2) _ for so many road accidentsWhen driving a car, a man tends to bee ill-mannered and behave in an (3)_ way.It seems that all the hidden anger, disappointment and envies are (4)_by the act of driving.Society just (5)_various kinds of bad behavior of a motorist.People (6) _the road accident statistics.(7) _ that should be taken to reduce road accidents The driving test should be standardized and made much more difficult.

In the late 1800s, lots of farmers began to grow soybeans as food for cattle. In 1904, at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, George Washington Carver began studying the soybean. His discoveries changed the way people thought about the soybean. No longer was it just a crop for cattle; it provided valuable protein and oil.Now soybean oil is the most popular source for an alternative fuel. Fueling diesel (柴油) engines with vegetable oil started with the inventor Rudolf Diesel. When Diesel showed his engine at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, it was running only on peanut oil, a kind of biodiesel. According to the United Soybean Board, biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. However, over the next 100 years, diesel fuel was made largely from petroleum (石油). Interest was renewed in biodiesel in the mid-1970s when the energy shortage occurred, and gas prices surged upward throughout the United States. In spite of these conditions, mercial production did not take place until much later. In xx, The National Biodiesel Board reported that 500,000 gallons per day were produced. In xx, production increased to 6.7 million gallons per day.With the continual rising costs of petroleum products in the new century, major corporations and the United States government have looked to new markets. Farmers are encouraged to grow soybeans in their fields, as the demand for soybean fuel increases. They can now get several gallons of fuel per acre of soybean.Biodiesel is created by removing a thick liquid called glycerin from soybean oil. It is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency as a pure fuel, which is known as B100, or as a fuel additive, which is called B20, a mixture of 20 percent soy and 80 percent petroleum-based diesel.There are many benefits of soybean fuel.Studies have shown that biodiesel from vegetable oil reduces petroleum consumption when used in place of petroleum diesel. In addition, the use of biodiesel reduces CO2 in the earths atmosphere. This is due to the fact that growing soybeans consumes nearly four times as much CO2 as the amount of CO2 produced from biodiesel waste gases.If you ever want to take a ride in a car or bus powered by soybeans, you can. The Agriculture Research Center (ARS ) National Visitor Center bus, which is used for Beltsville, Maryland farm tours, is running on biodiesel fuel.ARS scientists are conducting biodiesel fuel research, and they are trying to find ways to make fuel from vegetable oils, animal fats, and used restaurant oils. Biodiesel fuel costs more than regular diesel fuel. However, the price may drop if people use it more. We can look to the future with the hope that clean fuel sources will continue to be widespread in the United States and even around the world.
