It is important to regularly set and revise the goals for studies. Students must 24 struggle to meet their goals. In a word, by making important things come first, by setting practical long-term goals and by achieving them through short-term goals, students can 25 what they dream. 11.

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为26?35的相应位置上。
Dad was always full of advice. One of the biggest lessons he taught me one summer was about having 26 strong work ethic(道德规范). When my brother and I were growing up, we mowed(修剪) lawns during the summer 27 (earn) pocket money.
Every time we went to work, my dad was there to watch. I used to wonder 28 he came with us. One day we were cutting our neighbor?s yard. She always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over. That afternoon, I was finishing the work and was 29 (tire). I was just about to turn off the mower 30 I saw Dad pointing to some grass. I thought about how little I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower. I ignored him and kept walking. Dad called me 31 (loud) , “You missed a piece.”
I frowned, 32 (hope) he would go home. He kept pointing. So worn and discouraged, I went back to cut that piece of grass. I said to myself, “That one piece isn?t hurting anyone. Why won?t he just let it go?”
Other neighbors took notice of the good work 33 we did and we soon got more business. We started out with one client, but by the end of the summer we had five.
The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me: be 34 (profession). Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive. It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take 35 your work.

32.: 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
36. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?
A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating. C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.
37. The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.
A. strong emotion B. good way C. better feeling D. enough affection 38. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.
A. it has man-made rules B. it is too dangerous for climbers
C. it can?t bring people joy or leisure
D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods 39. We know from the passage that _______.
A. mountaineering has no appeal for people
B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers C. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty
D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps 40. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sports in winter B. Team work in climbing
C. Mountaineering D. The quality for mountaineering
B
“Mom, I can?t do this.” My teenage son Bret stood in front of me with his hands full of papers. “Can?t do what?”I asked while preparing supper.
“All these!” he waved his hands up and down. “There?s no way I can do everything my teachers are asking me to do.”
I stopped what I was doing and turned to face him. I had never seen him so upset. He was my jovial son. He made good grades in school and nothing ever seemed to bother him. As I studied his face, I could see his eyes filled with tears.
Walking over to the kitchen table, I sat down and asked him to join me. “Show me what you have to do .”
Bret sat down in a chair and dropped the papers in front of him.
“Mr. Jones, my chemistry teacher, wants me to make a project for the Science Fair.” “Okay , And what else?”
“I have an algebra test next week, and that will be one-third of our grade this school term!”
“And I have to write an English essay. And midterms are the next week! I need to study for them and I have to get help with Spanish. There?s no way I can do everything!”
His hands shook as he picked up each assignment. It broke my heart to see him so stressed out. I wanted to help him, yet I couldn?t do the work for him. I looked at Bret and said. “You don?t have to do everything at once. You can do one at a time. Let?s make a list of what you need to do.”
