【文章內容簡介】 d too unrealistic. The elephant analogy (比喻) is still the best one I know of to illustrate good goal setting. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. So it is with goals. Make spoon size goals and acplish them easily. Once you39。ve mastered this, get a bigger spoon! You may have too many people in your life who consciously or subconsciously are unwilling or unable to support you to reach your goals. Surround yourself with people who want you to have what you want for yourself. Support each other and you39。ll all achieve your highest goals. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with progress. Be selective about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often es when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life. Goal setting is like the pig and chicken who were out for a walk in town early one morning. The chicken became really excited when she saw a sign that said Ham amp。 Eggs, $. She said to the pig, Look, we39。ve got double billing again. The pig grunted and said, That39。s all right for you to say. For you, it39。s all in a day39。s work. For me, it39。s total mitment. Goal setting is all in a day39。s work. Goal achievement is total mitment.（1）What can we learn from Paragraph 1? Harvard students know the importance of setting goals. down goals is unhelpful in achieving them. very small percentage of Harvard students can succeed. working on goals eventually leads to victory.（2）What can we know about New Year39。s resolutions? are really difficult to achieve. people give them up halfway. should be different from year to year. people make no effort to achieve them.（3）According to the elephant analogy, when setting goals, we should . for others39。 advice great and worthy goals a big goal into smaller pieces to the goals we set earlier（4）What does the story of the pig and chicken imply? is not built in one day. the cat is away, the mice will play. early bird catches the worm. of a feather flock together.（5）What can be the best title for this passage? only work when you do! contribute to success! to make New Year39。s resolutions for setting realistic goals【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A（5）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述只有很少的人能夠堅持寫下自己的目標，而這部分人是最成功的，同時也說明了實現目標需要注意的幾個方面：第一，學會分解目標；第二，找到能夠支持自己的人；第三，不要混淆忙碌與進步；第四，目標設定很容易，但是實現目標是一個長期的過程。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據第一段中的“A Harvard study of their graduates over thirty years found that there were only a small percentage (3%) of them who actually wrote down their goalsand these were the most successful!”可知，只有3%的人能夠寫下自己的目標，而這些人是最成功的，故可以推測出，只有不斷堅持，朝目標前進的人才能成功，故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據第二段中的“People make resolutions, work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget them.”可知，人們往往年初做決心，前幾周，甚至前幾個月很努力，但是之后就拋之于九霄云外，可知，很多人半途而廢，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. So it is with goals. Make spoon size goals and acplish them ，設置目標跟吃大象是一樣的，把目標分成小部分，就很容易實現這些目標了，故可知，要學會分解目標，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“Goal setting is all in a day39。s work. Goal achievement is total mitment.”可知，設定目標很短，但是達成目標則需要完全的付出，根據選項，與A選項，羅馬不是一日建成的，意思符合，故選A。 （5）考查主旨大意?？v觀全文可知，本文講述只有很少的人能夠堅持寫下自己的目標，而這部分人是最成功的，同時也說明了實現目標需要注意的幾個方面：第一，學會分解目標；第二，找到能夠支持自己的人；第三，不要混淆忙碌與進步；第四，目標設定很容易，但是實現目標是一個長期的過程，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Almost none of us have the time to read everything we39。d like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection? Founded in 2012, iReader, a microlearning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from bestselling books through 15minute audio (音頻) and text. So far, more than 3,000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day.
