Question

【题目】Every student is eager to achieve the goals they have set earlier. Here is what experts advise on how to do it.

【1】 When it comes to choosing your goal, make sure that it states exactly what it is that you want to achieve. If your goal seems too big, divide it into simpler, easier tasks.

Write down your goal. You can write it in a journal or write it on a sticky note. Writing keeps your memory fresh and helps you clear up the clutter (杂乱) in your brain. Try to keep a journal or a diary.

Break your goal down. By chopping your goal up into manageable sections, it allows you to mentally make your way through the goal until the end of a year. 【2】 Therefore, you’re far less likely to give up or dodge (逃避) your goal by taking shortcuts or refusing to do anything.

Put a brake (阻力) on distractions. Turn off all distractions like TV, the Internet, your phone and every other gadget you have at home.【3】

Make it happen.【4】 Thinking is a useful start but thinking doesn’t do the heavy work and thinking certainly won’t move mountains. Go out every morning knowing what you need to do and then do it!

Stay positive. Keep saying that you can do it. Stay motivated and be confident.

Reward yourself.【5】 Every once in a while, if you complete a goal, treat yourself than extra bar of chocolate or make time to read that book you’ve been wanting to read since two months ago.

A. Don’t think to yourself that over time you will manage to do it

B. Choose a specific, realistic and important goal

C. It is necessary to choose a proper way to finish the goals

D. Carry out your goal as soon as possible

E. Don’t be too hard on yourself

F. This method makes it easier to deal with

G. Keep emails, phone calls, texts, etc. to a minimum.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】F

【3】G

【4】A

【5】E

【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章简约向读者介绍了完成学习目标的几种策略。

【1】B

段落首句，相当于一个小标题。根据文章每段首句可知此处要用祈使句。再根据本段下文：当谈到你的目标时，确保它准确地陈述了你想要达到的目标。也就是要选择一个具体的、现实的和重要的目标。关键词是choosing。故选B。

【2】F

根据上文：因此，你不太可能通过敏捷或拒绝做任何事情来放弃或逃避你的目标。可知，空出应表示原因：分解目标这种方法使得它更容易理解。所以应选择F项。

【3】G

从文章结构上可以看出，此空是主旨句，应与前几个要点并列，必须为祈使句，同时根据本段中的Turn off all distractions，可知此处选G项。

【4】A

分析本段的主题句Make it happen.以及空后的内容可知，应选A。A项中的Don’t think to yourself与空后内容相符。

【5】E

由本段主旨句Reward yourself.可知，E项，Don’t be too hard on yourself意为“不要对自己太苛刻”是从反面论证这个主题，符合语境，故选E。
