C

      Every once in a while, it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long, hard look at where we are in our lives. At this point, it is good to ask yourself a bunch of critical questions. Have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life ? If so, you have not accomplished your goals in life, then perhaps you have made the mistake of setting too many goals or trying to accomplish them at an unnaturally fast pace.

       It is necessary to set reasonable, intelligent goals in order to succeed in life. Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. But you should try to recognize what you want,when attempting to visualize（形象化） or otherwise express what your goals in life are.

       In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. The bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. If you want, you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. But if that is your only goal as a pianist achieved. This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.

49. From the passage, if your goals have all been achieved, you should then ______.

       A. ask yourself some serious questions     B. take a hard look at your success

       C. set some other intelligent goals        D. stretch yourself to relax

       A. set as big a goal as possible              B. try hard to realize your dream

       C. make your goals practical          D. abandon all your ambitions

51. To perform several Beethoven pieces well is a goal that _______.

       A. is not suitable for the pianist          B. is appropriate for a beginner

       C. stops you from growing as a pianist   D. is very easy to achieve

52. What is the best title for the passage ?

       A. Set Intelligent Goals for Yourself     B. Try to Accomplish Your Goals

       C. Get Yourself More Motivated       D. Goals Help You to Succeed

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆四川省成都市六校協(xié)作體高二下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：其他題

閱讀下面短文并回答問(wèn)題，然后將答案寫(xiě)到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上(請(qǐng)注意每題詞數(shù)要求)。

[1]Freezing weather can mean frostbite(凍傷)and hypothermia(體溫過(guò)低)unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm，dry and safe．

[2]Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long．It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears．If deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold．Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it：releases．Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty thinking clearly．

[3] To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm．Think of COLD—C．O．L．D．

[4]The C stands for cover．Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears．And wear mittens(連指手套)instead of gloves．

[5]The O stands for overexertion(用力過(guò)度)．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty．Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination．

[6] L is for layers．Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.

[7]D is for dry．In other words，stay as dry as possible．Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing．These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves．

[8] And here are two other things to keep in mind-one for children and    ．Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body’s temperature．And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm．But what it really does is weaken the body’s ability to hold heat．

1.For what purpose did the writer write this passage?(no more than l5 words)

                                                                           

2.List two signs of hypothermia．(no more than 8 words)

                                                                           

3.Should we drink alcohol to keep warm? Why or why not? (no more than 15 words)

                                                                           

4.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 8 with proper words．(no more than 6 words)

                                                                           

5.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 into Chinese．
