"Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far," said Dr. Snyder, a psychologist. In research with 3,920 college students, Dr. Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T. scores or their grade point averages in high school. "Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them," Dr. Snyder said. "When you compare students with equal learning ability and past school achievements, what sets them apart is hope." In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically, Dr. Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. "This idea is not concrete enough; it fails to clarify two key components of hope," Dr. Snyder said. "Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be." Despite the wisdom in the old saying "where there's a will there's a way," Dr. Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected. In a study of people from 18 to 70 years old, Dr. Snyder discovered: only about 40% of people are hopeful in the technical sense of believing they typically have the energy and means to accomplish their goals; about 20% of the people believed in their ability to find the means to attain their goals, but said they had little will to do so; another 20% have the opposite pattern, saying they had the energy to motivate themselves but little confidence that they would find the means; the rest had little hope at all, reporting that they typically had neither the will nor the way. "It's not enough just to have the wish for something," said Dr. Snyder. "You need the means, too. On the other hand, all the skills to solve a problem won't help without the willpower to do it." 【1】What does Dr. Snyder think can best predict a freshman's academic performance? A. His S.A.T. scores. B. His high school grades. C. His level of hope. D. His family background. 【2】The underlined word "concrete" in the third paragraph probably means ________. A. clear B. pure C. universal D. popular 【3】What did Dr. Synder say about the old saying "where there's will there's a way"? A. It is quite realistic. B. It is not inspiring to students. C. It is totally wrong. D. It is not always true in reality. 【4】What can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Hope emerges as key to success. C. Will gets it going. D. Where there's a will there's a way. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Jack，a clerk at the local bank，was wandering alone on the street. It was a cold，silent winter night. His mind was on his wife Linda，who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in a hospital bed，waiting for more money for her operation．Jack had sold everything he had，and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel. A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack，it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help.“I have only one option left，”Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank，his workplace，again. For several days，he observed the bank and planned a theft． The next day，he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal：he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work，instead of the small one he always carried. At 5：00 pm，the bank closed，and the clerks and the guards had all gone home. However，at that moment，Jack was in the bathroom，and the guards didn't notice him，of course. When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark，Jack came out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase. He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days. Using a special key and some other tools，he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank's security system wasn't very good，which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later，Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1： After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while，the alarms began to ring.__________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank，an old man._________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ |
