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.”

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 (紀元)，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 (注視)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.
【答案】1.B
2.D
3.C
【解析】1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“The natural conditions include certain unchanging psychological laws of sight, for instance, the effects of colors or optical illusions.”(自然條件包括視覺上的不變的心理規(guī)律，例如，顏色或光學錯覺效果。)可知正確答案。故選B。
2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“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.”(然而，埃及人認為這只是一個短暫時刻的外觀，根據(jù)他們的信仰，這不是真實的。因此，埃及人在他們描繪的一個對象中去尋找永恒的本質(zhì)和典型特征。)可知正確答案。故選D。
3.推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，藝術是一個時期文化的綜合體現(xiàn)，當時的神話、基督教或技術都會影響到藝術的獨特風格。故選C。
【點評】本文為介紹說明文。文章介紹了藝術是一個時期文化的綜合體現(xiàn)，當時的神話、基督教或技術都會影響到藝術的獨特風格。

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(斷層).
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.

【答案】1.C
2.C
3.A
4.D
【解析】1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“… 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.”(太陽和月亮的引力不只是影響地球的海平面，而且也拉伸和壓縮地殼，產(chǎn)生震動和地震。)可推知，太陽和月亮的引力對地殼的影響會造成震動和地震。故選C。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的“With the help of the tidal forces, low-frequency earthquakes could provide more information about the deeper part of the fault.”及第六段中的“They tell us that the fault continues down below where the regular or typical earthquakes…”可推知，此處的they指的是low-frequency earthquakes(低頻地震) 。故選C。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“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.”(研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，低頻率地震傾向于滿月時期的潮汐周期，當潮汐變得一點點發(fā)生。)可推知，低頻地震會讓潮汐逐漸地變強。故選A。
4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段及倒數(shù)第二段中的“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.”(他補充道，這信息是非常有用的。每當深層斷裂帶的一部分滑動時，壓力會轉移到斷裂帶的淺層部分。)可知，這個研究的主要功能是為研究深層斷裂帶提供有效的信息。故選D。
【點評】本文為科技說明文。文章介紹了對低頻地震及地球潮汐現(xiàn)象的研究及其研究價值。

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 一 they were almost all Jewish 一 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 awftil”，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

【解析】1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Nicholas Winton always protested that he was no hero. Heroes faced danger; he never had…They avoided bullets and the secret police; he wrote letters, made telephone calls，and composed lists.”(尼古拉斯·溫頓總是提出抗議，稱他不是英雄。英雄們面臨危險，他從來沒有過……他們避免子彈和秘密警察;他只是寫寫信，打了個電話和列個名單。)可知，尼古拉斯·溫頓拒絕把自己當作英雄是因為他認為自己沒有經(jīng)歷危險。故選B。
2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的描述及第四段中的“When faced with a problem, his instinct was to solve it.”(當面對一個問題的時候，他的直覺是解決它。)可知，尼古拉斯·溫頓去營救這些孩子，并不是出于要做英雄、做慈善和反對納粹，僅僅是依靠見到那些悲慘孩子時的同情之心。故選D。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的描述可知，在整個的營救過程中，英國捷克斯洛伐克難民委員會沒有給他任何幫助，他獨自承擔費用，內(nèi)務部在審核通行證上也很緩慢，為此他還給美國的州長、參議員，甚至是給總統(tǒng)寫信，但收效甚微。由此可知，在營救過程中，他經(jīng)歷了很大的困難。故選A。
4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“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…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.”可推知，尼古拉斯·溫頓在被營救的孩子到達英國后，并沒有表現(xiàn)出太多的熱情，甚至是有意疏遠他們，是不想因為營救了這些孩子被人們當作英雄而影響了自己的生活。故選A。
5.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后兩段的描述及最后兩句話“He had simply done what needed doing at that time, in that place. Surely any decent person would have done the same?”(他只是做了那個時期、那個地方需要做的事情。任何正義的人一定也會做同樣的事情。)可推知，尼古拉斯·溫頓認為自己做的事情并沒有什么特別的。故選C。
6.標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，在二戰(zhàn)期間，尼古拉斯·溫頓曾經(jīng)營救了669名捷克斯洛伐克兒童，他歷經(jīng)艱辛最終營救取得了成功。選項中“A job well done”(做得很好的一件事情)適合本文最佳標題。故選A。
【點評】本文為介紹說明文。本文主要介紹了在二戰(zhàn)期間，曾經(jīng)營救了669名捷克斯洛伐克兒童的尼古拉斯·溫頓，他歷經(jīng)艱辛最終營救取得了成功。
第四部分任務型閱讀(共10小題;每小題1分，滿分10分)
請認真閱讀下 列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當?shù)膯卧~。
注意：請將答案寫在答題卡上相應題號的橫線上。每個空格只填1個單詞。
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 this 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 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.
