开始时间2018年05月21日星期一11:46题目1题干Three Kinds of GoalsThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the beliefin your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.1. Our long-term goals mean a lot _____.正确答案是：BA. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. if we complete the short-term goalsC. if we have dreams of the future2. New short-term goals are built upon _____.正确答案是：AA. the goals that have been completedB. your achievement in a weekC. current activities3. When we complete each step of our goals, _____.正确答案是：CA. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we will build up our confidence to achieve success4. What is the main idea of this passage?_____正确答案是：CA. Life is a dynamic thing.B. We should set up long-term goals.C. Different kinds of goals in life.5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?_________正确答案是：AA. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.B. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.C. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.题目2题干It was?anniversary?and Ria was waiting for her husband to show up.

A robot can autonomously shovel snow, collect leaves and cut grass.“We’re trying to help people not spend time on yard work,”said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their free time with their family.”The electric robot can run by itself in right directions with the help of two beacons (信号塔) that must be placed in the yard. The robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor (超声传感器) that Waelbers said would stop quickly when it finds pets and people.Owners of the robot will need to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it’s going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard –taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes. By doing this, the robot is taught how long and wide the lawn is, and won’t accidentally destroy your rose bush or run to the neighborhood.Once this setup is complete, and the $3,999 robot has been trained on where to cut grass, rake?leaves and shovel snow, it operates without any supervision.Waelbers has always loved to build robots and play with electronics.

Severalyears ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage.That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family.But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, havinga big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples considerthat they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all.According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years,were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36%vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%) . However, taken together, women were still more likelyto have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%) .In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children– a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22%in 2006) . These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of womenwho had GIVEN BIRTH TO a single child INCREASED PROGRESSIVELY from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in2006.The U. S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in Americatoday. This COMPRISES 20% OF the children' s population COMPARED TO only 10% around fifty yearsago.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。
