10．The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives．No matter what decisions we make，good or bad，each one puts us on a new road in the future．Make a bad decision？No problem．Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path．This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within．This is a book that I recommend to anyone waiting to develop a fire within to make changes in their life．It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hindering me from becoming the great man who I am today．Now I am not saying that I am a well-known person in any particular circle．But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen．I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children．And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime．And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in．
Ben Lerer，cofounder and CEO of the Thrillist Media Group，is a good example of this．In an article on the Fast Company website，Lerer talks about this very subject．He says，"I have to make some really tough decisions but finally，I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't going right，and fix it，instead of just turning a blind eye because it's easier．"Great people make decisions．When a decision does not have the desired result，make a different decision．It does not get any simpler than that．
28．From Tony Robbins'book Awaken the Giant Within，the writer knewD．
A．making a bad decision is very terrible
B．making decisions helps us become a great man
C．being afraid to make a bad decision is very natural
D．learning from the bad decision can help make a new choice
29．The underlined word"hindering"can be replaced byA．
A．stopping   B．stealing  C．preserving  D．requiring
30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？B
A．A bad decision has a bad effect on people
B．The best company can admit and correct a bad decision
C．People should learn how to make a good decision
D．Making a decision is much simpler than changing one
31．What could be the best title of the passage？C
A．Overcome Your Fears             
B．Take Action
C．Make decisions                  
D．Trust Yourself．

分析 本文是一片議論文．一生中，我們會作出各種各樣的決定，有好的，也有壞的．但當(dāng)我們作出的決定沒有產(chǎn)生預(yù)期的結(jié)果時，我們應(yīng)從這個不好的決定中吸取教訓(xùn)、回歸正途，而不是視而不見、任其發(fā)展．

解答 答案：28-31 DABC．
28：D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段中的"Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path．This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within"可知，從錯的決定中吸取經(jīng)驗可以做出新的決定，故D選項正確．
29：A．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)上文中的"Make a bad decision？No problem…get  on a different path．"及畫線詞前后的內(nèi)容可推知，該詞的意思是"阻止，妨礙"，故A選項正確．
30：B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段中的"I think the best companies are those  that can recognize when something isn't going right，and fix it"可知，最好的公司是那些能夠認(rèn)識到錯誤，并改正錯誤的公司，故B選項正確．
31：C．主旨大意題．根據(jù)第一段中的"The decisions that we make shape us  throughout our lives．"以及下文的內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹的是作決定方面的內(nèi)容．故C選項正確．

點評 閱讀理解考查對文章的理解能力，細(xì)節(jié)題為閱讀考題的重頭戲，所占比例很高，相對而言較簡單，但是不要擴(kuò)大或縮小范圍．

3．Researchers have developed a new kind of software using smartphones'GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objects．The software could eventually allow smartphone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies．On the home front，the software could be used by everyone，including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it．
"The great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single，readily available，relatively inexpensive package，"said Wang Qia，a doctoral student who led the development of the software．"For example，on the battlefield，a soldier needs a rangefinder，compass，GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike．With our software，the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf．When that soldier returns from war，she can use the same software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children's school and catching the criminal on video．"
    Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track：
    Targets of known size-When the size of a target is known．a(chǎn) single image is enough to pinpoint the target's location．
    Targets of unknown size-If the exact size of a target is unknown，the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target．
    Moving targets-By taking a short video of a moving target，the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going．
"Currently，our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware，but the devices are improving rapidly，"Wang said．"We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy，battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations．"

66．From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software canB．
A．determine the speed of moving objects
B．locate objects in the distance exactly
C．defend soldiers against their enemies
D．help biologists protect rare animal
67．The example given by Wang Qia is meant toC．
A．make an advertisement
B．describe the software briefly
C．show the benefits of the software
D．present the functions of smartphones
68．How does the software calculate the speed of a moving object？A
A．By taking a short video．
B．By locating its position．
C．By taking a single image．
D．By measuring its real-life size．
69．What's Wang Qia's attitude towards the future of the software？B
A．casual．
B．optimistic．
C．cautious．
D．flexible．
70．What is the best title of the text？C
A．Wang Qia，a Talented Doctoral Student
B．Use Smartphones to Realize Their Full Potential
C．Targeting and Tracking with Smartphones
D．Smartphone-armed Soldiers on the Battlefield．

（21）B Do not hide things from them，do not lie．Don't be afraid to say things that aren't very flattering about yourself．Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship．If there's no trust，there's nothing there．So please be honest and they'll learn to open up to you．

Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them．Laughter is the key to happiness．Laugh a lot with them，joke with them．Laughter may seem silly，but it's the secret to a lot in life．It will keep the sparks alive．（24）D
Make sure the communication is good．This goes along with trust，but always communicate how you feel，even if it's something that upsets you．Instead of screaming，talk to them．（25）G It's important to communicate this to them，not keep it bottled up．
