When we study, we all want to study with high efficiency (效率). The self-learning ability is very
important. There are many ways to improve it.
First of all, we should set a goal. The goal we set should be realistic. We can set small goals one by
one. If we set a big goal, it is hard to achieve.
then we will be filtrated (挫败) by not seeing the improvement. As a result, we may give it up easily.
But a small one is easy to achieve, so we can see our progress and have the confidence to keep on.
Secondly, after setting the goal, the next thing is to take action. We should do according to the plan.
Never leave today work for tomorrow. For example, we can remind us from time to time that we must
finish the first step in a week, so the pressure comes out and it will turn into the driving force quickly.
Last but not least, we should be alone and completely undisturbed (不受干扰的). No matter what
everyone else around us does and says, we should ignore (忽视) it as much as possible. Re-member
that good or bad grades are your own business, and they have no effect on others. So do what we
should do and what we can do.
()36. What should the goal we set be like?
A. Small and realistic.
B. Big and difficult.
C. New and interesting.
D. New and different.
()37. What is the second step according to the writer’s opinion?
A. Setting a goal.
B. Learning from others.
C. Trying to achieve the goal.
D. Staying alone.
()38. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We must ignore everything around us.
B. We shouldn’t be disturbed by others.
C. Bad grades have some effects on others.
D. We should pay attention to what people around us do and say.
()39. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How to study in groups.
B. The advantages of self-learning.
C. How to improve the self-learning ability.
D. How to make progress in a short time.
()40. Whom is this passage most likely written for?
A. Parents. B. Teachers.
C. Writers. D. Students.
D
Mark and Scott Kelly have a lot of things in common. They both share a love for space, which guided
them into a career of exploration at NASA. Now, both of them have a very special task that’s unique
(独特的) to them. Mark and Scott are chosen to do it because they are twin astronauts!
This month, Scott will leave his home in Texas, US, for the International Space Station (ISS). He will
stay for a one-year space study, which will set a single-mission record for a US astronaut. He’ll share
the mission with Russian astronaut Mikhail Kornienko. Throughout the year, another 13 astronautswill join them. So why does Mark come into this mission? NASA has long wanted to send a team to
Mars. One of the biggest problems is the human body. Our bodies are designed for the Earth. In space,
bones get weak, hearts beat less and our balance becomes unstable. NASA needs to be able to examine
the long-term effects on humans in space. The perfect study is to test two people with the exact same
genes, one in space, and the other on Earth.
This is where Mark comes into play. As the twins have the same genes, the results will be more
accurate (精确的).Scott’s year will be foil of experiments, exercises and repair work. He’ll also have
the Internet to communicate with people on Earth! NASA will monitor him with psychological and
medical tests. For the twins, this is just the latest mile on a long journey of discovery together.
()41. What does the underlined word ‘ it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The space. B. NASA.
C. The special task. D. The exploration.
()42. How many astronauts will take part in the mission in total according to Paragraph 2?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 13. D. 16.
()43. What will happen to humans，bodies in space?
A. Our bones will become harder.
B. Our hearts will beat more.
C. We won’t keep our balance easily.
D. We will become much shorter.
()44. Why are the twin brothers chosen for the space study?
A. Because they are both excellent astronauts.
B. Because they’re two different people with the exact same genes.
C. Because they have special human bodies.
D. Because they both have a love for space.
()45. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Twins go for a unique NASA mission.
B. Astronauts spend a year at the ISS.
C. Twins finish a task in space.
D. Human bodies change in space.
