There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range 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 possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,our 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-range 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 belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range 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. 【小题】(1) Our long-term goals mean a lot__________. A.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB.if we complete our short-range goals C.if we put forward some plansD.if we write down the dates 【小题】(2) New short-term goals are build upon__________.

解析
考查要点:本题为阅读理解题,主要考查学生对文章细节的理解、逻辑推理能力以及词汇猜测能力。
解题思路:
- 定位关键句:根据问题关键词(如“long-term goals”“short-term goals”)快速定位原文相关段落。
- 逻辑关系分析:注意因果关系(如“without...cannot...”)、条件关系(如“upon completing...”)等。
- 词汇语境推断:结合上下文语境理解生词含义(如“static”所在句强调“life is dynamic”)。
第(1)题
关键句:
our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals
逻辑分析:长-term goals的意义依赖于实现稳固的short-term goals。选项B“if we complete our short-range goals”直接对应此条件关系。
第(2)题
关键句:
add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed
逻辑分析:新short-term goals以已完成的目标为基础,选项A“the goals that have been completed”符合文意。
第(3)题
关键句:
As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed
情感推断:完成每一步会增强成功信念,选项C“we will build up confidence of success”最贴切。
第(4)题
关键句:
We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action
隐含逻辑:目标应随新想法调整,而非固定不变。选项D“we may change our goals as we have new ideas”符合文意。
第(5)题
语境推断:
Life is not a static thing... never allow a long-term goal to limit us
反义对应:若“static”意为“静止的”(unchanging),则与后文“动态调整目标”形成逻辑一致。
