Do you know how discipline can help you achieve your goals? Do you know that discipline is important to 36 ? What is the power of discipline? How to become disciplined?
You might think that many people are not self disciplined, 37 I’m going to prove to you that people in general are disciplined, but 38 , in non-beneficial ways. There are many people who smoke daily 39 the fact that it is harmful and 40 and it could kill them. Such people are disciplined at 41 cigarettes and smoking. There are people who are
disciplined at drinking lots of alcohol daily. Such people are disciplined at consuming alcohol. Do you 42 where I am going with this?
One of my friends who has a 43 for running spends half an hour every single morning running. Whether it is snowing or raining, she has to run. This is the kind of 44 discipline that you are supposed to 45 and create in your life.
Do you know someone who bought a book, but didn’t finish 46 it for some reason? Do you know someone who decided to improve his 47 and start eating more vegetables and fruit, but after two weeks, he 48 ?
These are all examples of 49 of discipline. If you are not disciplined, then you will have a hard time to get your 50 . As I mentioned in my book “The ultimate guide to achieving your goals” that you could know what you want, 51 , and take action, but if you are not self-disciplined, you will 52 give up.
With discipline, you can start getting up early in the morning, exercise, and 53 yourself
of the non-beneficial habits such as smoking and eating non-healthy food. With discipline, you can change negative habits to positive habits. With discipline, you can join the gym and start working on having a 54 body. Do you see what the 55 of discipline can do?
Always remember what Jim Rohn said, “One discipline always leads to another discipline.”

Discovering Tasmania
The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2,000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you’ll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don’t like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river c
ruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.
One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of Tasmania. It’s such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour. During your tour, you’ll come across rivers, mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an experience you won’t easily forget.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1:
You’re picked up from your hotel in the town of Launceston and driven to the Tarkine. You then complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides.
Day 2:
After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rainforest, passing some of the tallest trees in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camp in the evening.
Day 3:
The highlight of today’s trek is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15-metre waterfall.
Day 4:
Today you can stay at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a day trek for more fantastic views of the forest.
Day 5:
After a last trek through the forest, you are picked up at about 4:00 p.m. and you arrive in Launceston at around 7:00 p.m.
The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and from the rainforest, all food while on the tours and all safety equipment. You should buy or hire recommended camping equipment including: backpacks, sleeping bags, sleep mats, head torches, rain coats and trousers.
56. A tourist to the island can ______.
A. cycle along the Tarkine coast and through the forest
B. buy or hire as much camping equipment as possible
C. go for a day trek for more fantastic views on Day 5
D. choose to make a sailing tour of the place for pleasure
57. From the passage we know that ______.
A. people will walk hours in all the five days during the tour
B. many species in danger are protected in the national parks
C. it takes about three hours to drive from Launceston to Tarkine
D. the tour provides guides, accommodation and safety equipment
B
Art is visible. However, everything one sees is filtered through certain conditions, some of them historical, and others, natural. The historical conditions include the material which is used — oil, colors, and the canvas; second, a certain style. There can be a general style, for example, the style of Impressionism, or a particular style, for example, the individual ways in which two painters, both impressionists, paint. The natural conditions include certain unchanging psychological laws of sight, for instance, the effects of colors or optical illusions.
The conditions of art are nothing but a particular way of interpreting reality. To understand this, one can examine the difference between the classical Greek and the classical Egyptian styles. For the Greeks, the reality of the visible was given by the perspective and the situation in which the object appears; for that reason they presented a person in his individual movements. For the
Egyptians, however, this was only the appearance of a brief moment, which, according to their beliefs, was not real. Therefore, the Egyptians searched for the permanent essence and the typical character in their depiction of an object. For the Egyptians, Greek art was an illusion; for the Greeks, on the other hand, Egyptian art was unrealistic constructivism.
The way in which reality appears in art must not be regarded on its own. It is affected by many other systems of recognizing reality, including the political, religious, economic, intellectual, and social — in short, all the phenomena of human life.
Moreover, art is always of a certain epoch (纪元), with its particular conception of reality. Thus, when discussing, for example, the art of ancient myth, of medieval Christianity, or that of the technological age, one must be aware that myth, Christianity, or technology was the most outstanding feature of the epoch.
It is paradoxical (似是而非的) to understand art as some kind of copy of the fields of experience connected with it. So, for example, it is meaningless for the work of art to be compared with the landscape, which served the artist as his model. Even if the artist had tried to make what he painted as similar as possible to the model he used, the landscape which he saw is only the matter from which something completely different emerges since he has submitted his view to the conditions of art: namely to the material used (colors, canvas, etc.), to his style, and even to the fact that he paints on a flat surface. Thus one must contemplate (注视) a work of art by itself. Even if it is connected to other fields of experience it nevertheless displays something unique which appears in that piece of art and there alone.
58. What is mentioned as one of the conditions through which art is seen?
A. Impressionism. B. Optical illusions.
C. Nature. D. Perspective.
59. Why did the Egyptians search for the permanent essence of an object?
A. Egyptian art was thought to be unrealistic constructivism.
B. They should present a person in his individual movements.
C. The reality of the visible was only the presence of an instant.
D. The appearance of the object features largely in the reality.
60. What can we infer after reading the passage?
A. The conditions of art are more than a particular way of interpreting reality.
B. The way in which reality appears in art should be regarded only on its own.
C. Myth, Christianity, or technology was under the influence of a unique style.
D. Works of art were usually produced in response to certain interpretations.
C
A new study revealed that the formation of the Earth, Sun and Moon that cause changes in Earth’s tides can also trigger a special kind of Earthquake along the California’s San Andreas Fault （断层）.
The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, is based on previous researcher suggesting that the gravitational tug of sun and moon is not only affecting the sea levels of Earth, but can also stretch and compress that Earth’s crust, producing tremors and quakes. Furthermore, the new study showed that small tremors deep underground were more likely to occur during certain periods of the tidal cycle.
For the study, the researchers looked at about 81,000 low-frequency earthquakes from 2008 to 2015 along the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault and compared it to the two-week tidal cycle known as the “fortnightly tide.” Low-frequency earthquakes are named due to the rumbling sound they make and not by the rate of its occurrence. These kinds of earthquake only occur about 15 to 30 kilometers below ground and are no larger than magnitude 1 in the Richter scale.
The researchers discovered that low-frequency earthquakes tend to occur during the waxing period of the tidal cycle, when the tides are getting little by little. It is already known that the strongest Earth tides occur when the sun and moon are in a straight line, while the tide is at its weakest state when the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart.
According to the researchers, low-frequency earthquakes show that some part of the San Andreas Fault is creeping, or slowly moving, almost all the time. With the help of the tidal forces, low-frequency earthquakes could provide more information about the deeper part of the fault.
“They tell us that the fault continues down below where the regular or typical earthquakes stop on the San Andreas, about 10 or 12 km (about 6 to 7 miles),” said David Shelly, a seismologist at USGS and helped write the study, in a statement. “And they tell us a lot of things about that deep part of the fault that we had no idea existed at all before.”
“It’s almost like having a lot of little creep meters embedded in the fault,” Shelly said. “We can use these low-frequency earthquakes as measurements of, at least in a relative sense, how much slip is happening at each little spot on the deep part of the fault where we see these events. When we don’t see them, we don’t know what’s happening; we don’t know whether it’s slipping silently or not slipping at all.”
The information is incredibly useful, he added. Whenever the deep part of the fault slips, the stress gets transferred to the shallow part of the fault.
“So if all of a sudden, we saw that the deep part of the fault was slipping a huge amount, it might be an indication that there was an increased chance of having an earthquake come at the shallower part of the fault,” he said.
61. What causes tremors and quakes according to the passage?
A. The formation of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
B. The change of the sea levels of Earth.
C. The effect of the gravitational tug of sun and moon on Earth’s crust.
D. The movement of creeping in the deep part of the San Andres Fault.
62. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to ______.
A. the researchers B. the tidal forces
C. the low-frequency earthquakes D. the typical earthquakes
63. Low-frequency earthquakes occur when ______.
A. the tides are getting bigger gradually
B. the sun and moon are in a straight line
C. the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart
D. the San Andreas Fault moves slowly
64. According to Shelly, the most important function of the study is ______.
A. to find out where the typical earthquakes occur
B. to indicate when the regular earthquakes occur
C. to uncover how low-frequency earthquakes occur
D. to offer more information about the deeper part of the fault
D
Sir Nicholas Winton, rescuer of children, died on July 1st, 2015, aged 106.
When the letters and the honor came knocking on the door of his house in Maidenhead, and the filmmakers came calling, Nicholas Winton always protested that he was no hero. Heroes faced danger; he never had. They put their lives on the line; he had just worked at home in Hampstead, after a day being a stockbroker in the City. They avoided bullets and the secret police; he wrote letters, made telephone calls, and composed lists.
The fact that he had rescued 669 children from Czechoslovakia just as the Nazis invaded did not, in his mind, constitute heroism. He hadn’t gone out there in 1938 with any burning urge to do good; just for a holiday, in fact. Nor had he gone looking for children to rescue. Instead they and their parents had come to him, as soon as word got round that he might be able to help them leave Prague and get to the West. From 6.00 a.m. the knocks would come at the door of his room in the Europa Hotel, and he would open it to find some shivering, starving, desperate figure.
When faced with a problem, his instinct was to solve it. So he made lists of the children, took their photographs, got them Home Office entry permits, found them foster families and organised their departure on trains, via the Netherlands, to Liverpool Street. After just three weeks in Prague, he went back to Britain and carried on the work from there.
The British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia gave him almost no help, so he took sole charge himself. The Home Office was slow with entry permits, so he copied some illegally. In search of foster-parents for the children he put their photos in Picture Post; in the hope of farther havens for them he wrote to governors and senators in America and even to President Roosevelt, to no avail. He could have rescued at least 2,000 more, he said later, if America had been willing to take any.
A hero might have got involved in the stress and distress of individual cases. He avoided that by treating them like a commercial transaction: like the world he knew, in fact. A market was created, takers were sought and any likely bidder would do. Siblings were separated, if necessary. Jewish children — they were almost all Jewish — were often placed with Gentile families. Mr Winton did not care and he just had to get the children out alive and fast. When they arrived, exhausted, at Liverpool Street he seldom greeted them himself, preferring to stay calmly at a distance. Only one event traumatised him: the disappearance of 250 children on the last transport of September 1st 1939, as war was declared. But this awful thing too he stored at the back of his mind, realising that he had done all he could and his part was over. The scrapbook of lists, photographs and begging letters went up to the attic; he said nothing about it, and moved on.
He liked it that way. The silent background suited him very well. For 50 years he sat on the Czech story, not supposing anyone would want to know, until in 1988 the scrapbook came to light and, with it, a blaze of publicity, culminating in an evening on Esther Rantzen’s “That’s Life” TV show when the whole audience suddenly stood up round him, applauding him, and every one was a child he had saved. It was “absolutely awful”, he thought; and wept with long-suppressed joy.
He was still no hero, though, in his own book. He had had no desire to improve the world: indeed, not even much idea which job he was best suited for. At his father’s suggestion he had tried banking first, having left Stowe with nothing much to show for it. After the war he dabbled in business, but it didn’t take. In later years he worked for a mental-health charity and helped to set up homes for the elderly; and wondered why saving the Czech children was deemed more heroic than those things. He had simply done what needed doing at that time, in that place. Surely any decent person would have done the same?
65. Why did Nicholas Winton refuse to regard himself as a hero?
A. His behavior didn’t matter in the rescue.
B. He didn’t undergo risk in the rescue.
C. He didn’t want to make himself public.
D. His travel to Prague was simply for a holiday.
66. What made Winton decide to help rescue the children?
A. His strong desire to do good.
B. His determination to be a hero.
C. His hatred towards Nazis.
D. His sympathy for children’s fate
67. What can we learn about Winton from Paragraph 5?
A. He experienced a tough time during the rescue.
B. He didn’t get any aid from the British government.
C. He intended to send all children to America but failed.
D. He transported children to Britain with official entry permits.
68. Why did Mr Winton show little enthusiasm after children arrived in Britain?
A. He didn’t want the rescue to have great impact on his future life.
B. He merely wanted the children to be adopted as soon as possible.
C. He felt sorry for the disappearance of 250 children on the last transport.
D. He was satisfied with the effort that he had made to rescue the children.
69. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Winton uncovered the hidden history himself after 50 years.
B. Winton was reluctant to see those saved by him on the TV show.
C. Winton thought what he had done for the children nothing special.
D. Winton didn’t achieve great success in his career after the war.
70. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A job well done B. A risky rescue
C. A group of lucky children D. A living legend
第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
One of the keys to successful time management is prioritizing tasks and distinguishing optional activities from the essential. Whether you are writing different “to-do’s” in different colors of ink or are giving each list item a priority ranking, your decisions about the importance of activities will have a huge impact on how you spend your day.
Most of those who run their own business tend to develop a deep and strong commitment to work and to the overall success of their endeavors. Long hours are a norm, sleep appears to be optional and almost every effort is poured into growing the business.
However, those who overemphasize work-related activities at the expense of truly essential projects may actually see their time management collapse.
That’s because neglect of essential projects will make life, overall, less meaningful and enjoyable. At some point, the mere process of chasing after money will no longer subconsciously justify the disregard of some very important things.
What are these essential tasks? They have nothing to do with record keeping, taxes, improving advertising copy or handling customer relations. Instead, they involve being a good father, a good wife and a good person. These chores are the ones that give us a reason to have our financial goals. We work in the first place for these things.
Your essential projects will be determined by your own personal preferences and lifestyle. Those with strong religious beliefs will consider worship essential. Those who feel the need to exercise in order to relax will label physical activity as an essential activity.
It’s too easy to let these important things slide to the back burner when one is under pressure to produce or to grow their business. One invests a great deal of himself or herself in creating a successful project and it can feel as though spending every waking hour at work is more important than virtually anything else.
This perspective, however intuitive it may seem to one looking for ways to improve his or her time management skills, is actually a dead end. Over time, one will notice their motivation for work-related efforts slipping away. That inevitability arises from a subconscious recognition of life’s declining value, possible feelings of guilt, and a recognition that one is simply not meeting his or her most important responsibilities and commitments.
As you triage your activities as a part of your time management strategies, resist the temptation to elevate those tasks directly related to working above other truly essential responsibilities. By maintaining a proper balance you can invigorate (使有活力) your efforts and live a fuller, more meaningful life.
Work isn’t incompatible (矛盾的) with being a fulfilled person. On the contrary, a great work ethic and a successful business can lead to a great deal of fulfillment. However, when important non-work tasks are classified to the bottom of a “to-do” list, it surely results in negative consequences.

With the development of Chinese comprehensive national economy, the overall number of
foreign students who come to China to study has been increasing sharply in the past few years. However, the number of those foreign students who can hold a work permit after graduation is falling year by year.
There are some factors which account for this situation. In spite of the fact that there are a lot of companies in China, many of them prefer to hire local people rather than foreigners. Most companies want to employ those who have some working experience. Around 70% of jobs are filled through solid connections, while foreign students often communicate and talk with overseas students. So many of them find it hard to find a job in China. To stay or to leave? That’s a question for them.

W: Excuse me, can you answer some of my questions? I’m doing a quick survey on a TV program.
M: Sorry, I can’t stop. I’m supposed to be in a class at 9 and it’s already ten past.

M: So, how’s your holiday, Jane?
W: It didn’t live up to your expectations at all. Everyone had told us it was really an exciting place, but we found it rather boring.
M: Oh really? How bad!

W: Shall we go for lunch now?
M: Yes, but I don’t want to eat another sandwich.
W: Me neither. I feel like eating noodles.
M: OK, I was thinking of pizza though.

W: Alex, we should get started on our science project.
M: Relax. It’s not due for another couple of months.
W: Today is January 24th already. We have less than a month!
M: Oh dear, I thought it wasn’t due until March.

M: Excuse me, my friend and I booked two single rooms. Why do you only have one single room for us?
W: Oh, I am really sorry for our mistake, but all the single rooms are fully booked now. What about a double one
besides that single one?
M: OK, then.

M: There’s certainly plenty to choose from.
W: I’m finding it hard to know where to start. Would you like to look at the answering machines?
Let’s start here, I like this one.
M: We can’t afford to pay $129 for an answering machine.
W: But it must be of high quality.
M: There’s this one for $89 or the smaller one for $59.
W: I like the square shape of the smaller one. It’ll fit neatly on my desk.
M: And it’s the cheapest. We’ll buy that one.
W: Now, we need to buy a telephone for the office.

M: Hi, Jana. This is Tony.
W: Oh hi Tony. What’s up?
M: My best friend is in a band, and I’m going to one of his concerts this Sunday. I’d love to take some photos for his website. Would you mind if I borrowed your new camera?
W: Um, no. That’s OK, I guess. I don’t think I’ll need it for anything.
M: Thanks a million.
W: Sure. Uh, have you used a camera like mine before? It’s sort of hard to handle.
M: Uh-huh, sure, a couple of times. Would it be OK if I picked it up at your place on Friday night?
W: Yeah, I guess so.

W: What did you think of the film?
M: Er, overall, it was entertaining. As a thriller, it didn’t really have many thrills, but on the other hand, it was quite nice to see. What did you think of it?
W: I was fed up with it. It was actually ruined by some very wooden acting.
M: But I thought Jude Law was good in it.
W: I agree, but his acting couldn’t save this movie. Matt Damon was acting strangely, which made the story a bit unbelievable as a whole.
M: I felt Matt Damon was weak, but certainly not as weak as Roger Gale who was characteristically awful.
W: I see most people gave it seven or eight marks. How many marks would you give it out of ten altogether?
M: I’d probably give it seven out of ten.
W: Seven? Six for me.

M: Did you know about the change in the examination schedule?
W: Change?
M: Yes. The last day of examinations for your group will be December 2nd instead of November 29th.
W: We were told they’d be on November 26, and then it is said they’d be on December the 1st. Anyway, that’s a relief. I’m going to the U.S. On December the 4th.
M: Are you one of the exchange students?
W: Yeah. I’m really worried about general science courses there.
M: You’ve always been doing well. Don’t worry too much about that. By the way, have you finished your homework?
W: I should be able to give it to you next Monday. By the way, could you please tell me the timetable of all the examinations?
M: I’ve just finished putting it on the notice board downstairs. All the four examinations will be over in two days! Well, I’ll miss teaching this class. You’re all good at expressing your views, which makes for an interesting class. Some of the other first year classes won’t talk, and they’re rather boring to teach.

M: Good morning, it is eight o’clock and time for Morning News Highlight, Michael Johnson reporting. A boat with eighteen people on board — twelve tourists from the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, and six Indonesian crew members — got into trouble somewhere between the islands Bali and Lombok in Indonesia. Waves nearly five meters high struck the 23-meter boat. The engine broke down and there was only a small machine that provided power for three lights on board. The boat had no radio receivers. Luckily, however, one of the tourists, a teenager named Rebecca Fyfe, had a cell phone. She sent a text message to her friend, Nick Hodgson, who was asleep in a hotel in the U.K. He called Rebecca, but they couldn’t talk for long because her battery was low, and she couldn’t give the boat’s exact position. Then Nick called a branch of the British coast guard, who made phone calls to coast guards in both Indonesia and Australia. Although the coast guards were unable to get in touch with Receccba because her cell phone battery was now dead, an Indonesian navy boat and another ship soon found them. They were unable to rescue them immediately because the waves were still too high. Eventually, the boat and everyone on board arrived safely in a small port on the Gili islands, about 100 kilometers east of Bali.
