Here I want to share some tips so you can also do your resolution and you can achieve them all!Be realistic: You should always try to reach for the skies with your goals, but things like “I want to win the lottery(彩票)” or “I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month” are things you shouldnt have on your list because they will only bee frustrations.Be detailed: Its a lot easier to acplish more specific plans than general ones.Instead of writing “I want to lose weight，” put things like “I will start my Yes You Can! Diet Plan the first Monday of the year” or “I will start a movement routine 3 times a week for 35 minutes.” When we put down concrete activities, we mit ourselves to them and it bees a lot harder to e up with excuses.Think of alternatives: At the beginning of this past year, you put that you were going to start going to the gym as one of your annual plans.During the whole year you intended to take action but you always said that you couldnt because you came home so tired from work.If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how youre going to achieve it.For example, “I will start going to the gym in the mornings, before work.” That way you prevent what stopped you from achieving your goal last year.Focus on goals which depend on YOU: It is very important that all of your plans are for YOU to acplish, and it is important that you write them down that way.If one of your goals this ing year is to improve a relationship with one of your family members, make sure that you clearly put down what you are going to do for this to succeed.For example, “I will call my sister at least three times a week and I will visit her in the middle of the year.”Well, I hope that you use these tips so that this year you will acplish everything you want, and make it the best year ever! Thank you for being with me during everything this past year, and I hope that you keep showing me all of this love and support during the next.Happy new year!【语篇解读】作者通过对过去一年的得失总结，告诫人们：制定切实可行的计划，实现自己的目标，让自己的每一年成为最好的一年。4Why isnt “I want to win the lottery” remended as a New Year plan?ABecause it is very likely to fail.BBecause it is too easy to realize.CBecause it is not big enough as a goal.DBecause it is not easier than losing weight.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“things like I want to win the lottery(彩票) or I want to lose 80 pounds in 1 month are things you shouldnt have on your list because they will only bee frustrations”像一些事情“我想赢彩票”或“一个月减掉80磅”，这样的事情不应该出现在你的计划中，因为它们只会使你变得沮丧。故选A。【答案】A5The underlined word “mit” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word_.AdevoteBdetermineCadjustDforce 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“When we put down concrete activities, we mit ourselves to them and it bees a lot harder to e up with excuses.”当我们放下具体的活动，我们全身心的投入到他们中，它变得越来越和借口不相符了。故选A。【答案】A6When you failed to acplish your plan last year, youre advised to _.Atake action instead of writing it downBgive up the same plan this yearCput down the way to realize itDstop making any plans 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If this is one of your plans for this year, you should write down how youre going to achieve it.”如果这是你今年的计划之一，你应该记下你将怎样实现它。故选C。【答案】C7According to the passage, which of the following is the best plan?AI will bee a millionaire in one month.BI want to be the champion of the marathon.CI will change all of my bad habits in one week.DI will go for a walk after supper in working days.【解析】常识判断题。A.“I will bee a millionaire in one month.”一个月变成百万富翁。排除A项； B“I want to be the champion of the marathon.”我想成为马拉松冠军。根据文章内容也不切合实际，排除B项；C.“I will change all of my bad habits in one week.”一周内我将改变我的所有坏习惯。这也是不可能的，排除C项；可知D项“I will go for a walk after supper in working days.”在工作日，晚饭后去散步。是正确的。【答案】DCI am 26.Im clear that Im never going to catch up with Mother Teresa.But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda.The safety training is serious and stressful.Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy.I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire.If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police.But if something happens up in the air, its up to us.Im single and have no kids.Ive flown every Christmas since 1995.If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but its the little things that make a difference.Were_not_robots.Its hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isnt.Ive seen coworkers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and believe in a calm way)At the end of a 14hour flight, its like, “It was really nice to help you, but Im ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life.You cant wait to turn off the flight attendants voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, its huge.It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans.Were up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.【语篇解读】本文介绍了一个26岁空乘员的工作，以及她工作的不易。8Whats the authors attitude towards Mother Teresa?AGrateful.BFearful.CDoubtful.DAdmiring. 【解析】细节理解题。 根据短文第一段“Im never going to catch up with Mother Teresa.But I want to do something to help people every single day like her”我永远赶不上特蕾莎修女。但是我希望能像她一样，做点什么来帮助人们，可以判断我对特蕾莎修女是钦佩赞赏的。故选D项。【答案】D9How did the author like her roommates job?AIt was the same as hers.BIt was more interesting than hers.CIt was easier than hers.DIt was more serious than hers.【解析】推理判断题。 根据短文第二段“Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy.”在90分钟的飞行中照顾商务舱中的49人并不容易 和“If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police.But if something happens up in the air, its up to us.”如果她的工作中有不好的事情发生，她可以打电话叫警察。但如果飞行中有突发事件，那只能靠我们自己。由此推断室友的工作比我的容易。故选C项。【答案】C10Why does the author fly every Christmas?ABecause she has nowhere to go.BBecause shes trying to be a helpful coworker.CBecause she owes her coworkers some favors.DBecause shed like to earn more money.【解析】推理判断题。根据短文第三段“If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.”可知，如果我去上班，别人就可以与孩子在一起过圣诞节。所以，作者是个乐于助人的人。故选B项。【答案】B11What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “Were not robots”？AFlight attendants are not stronger than robots.BFlight attendants also experience emotions.CFlight attendants get tired while robots dont.DFlight attendants need to rest now and then.【解析】推理判断题。根据短文第四段“Its hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isnt.”事情不顺利的时候假装一切都好，还要面带微笑是很不容易的，和后面讲述的一个同事起飞前失去亲人，飞行中仍然要控制感情，平静地工作，可知“Were not robots.”指的是感情方面的事情。故选B项。【答案】BDModern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things.How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat.People eating alone eat least.People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more.Eating with overweight friends? Youll eat more.Is your waitress overweight？Youll eat more.Wide variety of food? Youll eat more.Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes.If people ate it off a paper plate, theyd say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake Ive eaten in my entire life.”Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat.You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad.So Grandmas cookies always taste better than other cookies.“Good food” even has a “health halo(光环) effect”If were eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy.Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone.Thats perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.Food and hunger affect your judgment too.Hungry judges give more serious sentences.Kids who dont eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast.People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.【语篇解读】本文介绍影响人们过度饮食的几个因素。12What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?ASuffering from great loneliness.BBeing served by a helpful waitress.CBeing treated to high quality food.DEating with many friends.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more.”和另外一个人一起吃会多于在家吃的35%；四个人一起吃会多吃75%，可知过度饮食的一个原因是和很多人一起吃，故选D。【答案】D13According to the passage, an annoying person may be one who _.Afinds any excuse for eating moreBis crazy about the quality of platesCpetes with others in making cookiesDteaches people to stick to morality【解析】句意理解题。根据第三段“Thats perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behavior.”可推断出一个讨厌的人是一个为自己吃过量找借口的人。故选A。【答案】A14According to the passage, people are more likely to make a bad judgment when _.Athey dont feel hungryBthey arent overweightCthey have low blood sugarDthey know little about food【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.”低血糖的人更有可能不专注以及无法控制他们不开心的情绪，因而更有可能做出错误的判断。故选C。【答案】C15What would be the best title for the passage?AWhen Cant We Go on a Diet?BWhat Affects Eating?CHow to Make Good FoodDWhere to Find Safe Food【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段便可看出本文大意“Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things.”现代人很难控制他们的食欲。通常他们吃不是因为他们饿了，而是受到很多因素的影响。下文介绍影响人们过度饮食的因素，故“什么影响吃？”作为本文的标题最合适。故选B。【答案】B.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)1,000 Hours a YearLike you, all my email goes into my Sent Mailbox, just sitting there if I want to check back at what I said to whom years ago.So what a surprise to see that I send approximately 18, 250 emails each year (roughly 50 a day)Assuming 3 minutes per email, thats about 1,000 hours a year on email alone.Ive been on email since the early 90s._16_The answer is both yes and no.Yes, I have been able to keep in touch with family, friends, and colleagues in faraway corners of the planet with ease._17_ But while these undoubted benefits are the reasons why I continue to email, it is not without its own cost.Most importantly, as the above analysis shows, email eats my time just as it likely eats yours._18_ Each time a message arrives theres just the chance that it might contain something exciting, something new, something special, a new opportunity._19_ Thats just enough to keep me checking my Inbox.But that means perhaps only 10 of the 1,000 hours I spent on emails this year were actually wanted.Frequent email messages will certainly affect our real work._20_ Like other potential addictions we should perhaps attempt to check the email box at certain times of the day, or by creating emailfree zones by turning off WiFi.Now I need to think whether I really want to be spending 1,000 hours a year on email, at the expense of more valuable activities.AWas that time well spent?BAll this feeds my continued use of email.CDo you spend 1,000 hours on emails every year?DAnd we all recognize that email has its addictive side.Eemail uses technology to municate a digital message over the Internet.FMaybe one in 100 emails contain something I really want to know or hear about.GBeing aware of what email is doing to our allocation of time is the first step to regaining control.【答案】1620ABDFG.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)I think Im one of the luckiest people in the world because of the time Im able to spend with young people who are not afraid to show their excitement and
