1、 The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage knew little about her( 将这个女孩儿带到孤儿院的工作者们对这个女孩的情况几乎不怎么了解) . The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else－to be independent. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough." she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.
The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

(5)、 Mary's boyfriend was good at English.

2、 There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals( 目标有三种: 短期目标、 中期目标和长期目标) .
Short-term 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 possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch 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-term 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-term 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.
(1)、 Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.
B: if we complete the short-term goals
(2)、 New short-term goals are built upon______.
D: the goals that have been completed
(3)、 When we complete each step of our goals, ________.
C: we will build up our confidence to achieve success
(4)、 What is the main idea of this passage? _______
C: Different kinds of goals in life.
(5)、 Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _______
C: Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.
三、 词汇与语法

Instructions:建议你在30分钟内, 根据下面所给的题目和提纲用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。
1.你对"失败乃成功之母"的看法;
2.举例说明你的看法。
Failure is the Mother of Success. (失败乃成功之母。)

参考例文:
Failure is the mother of success.
All of us experience failure every now and then. Failure or the threat of failure is something that we have to live with all our lives.
    Although, some people will avoid failure at all costs, some people welcome it. Failure can be a good teacher. It always teaches us to be better the second time around. As they say, "The more you try, the more you'll succeed."
    There is some wisdom to be learned from failure. If we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. Failure is the mother of success and success that comes after failure is so sweet.
