Progress means the act of going forward. 17.CBy setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. 18.A
Having confidence is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” 19.EEven if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important.
20.DMost progress often comes with difficulties along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.
A. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger.
B. Confidence helps us make progress.
C. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life.
D. The road to progress is not always smooth.
E. Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect.

答案： 17.C 18.A 19.E 20.D

Ⅱ.完形填空(共 10 小题,每小题 1 分;满分 10 分)
阅读短文,理解其大意,从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Last Monday, I was sitting in my room when my brother Ollie came in. He handed me a 21.C with a cake on the cover.
“What’s this?” I said. “Since when did you start reading 22.D magazines?”
“It’s Abuela’s,” Ollie said. Abuela is our grandma. “She keeps looking at the picture of this cake! Maybe we can 23.B a cake like this as a gift for her birthday!”
“Good idea! Let’s do it together!” I said.
“I was 24.A about surprising Abuela with it.” Ollie said. “But just look at the recipe(食谱)!”
I began to read it. “Whoa. There are so many steps!”
“Exactly.” said Ollie. “There’s no way we could finish it by Saturday.”
“Unless...Look.” I pointed. “I think I know 25.A we can make it. It says that a lot of things can be 26.____D ahead of time. Maybe if we do one or two of these little things each day and then put everything together on Saturday morning, we could surprise Abuela on time.”
Ollie nodded. “That would be 27.C.”
Then we shopped and made a recipe schedule(时间表). Every day that week, Ollie and I made at least one or two things on our recipe schedule.
Finally, the big day arrived.
“Oh, my goodness!” Abuela cried as Ollie and I put the cake in front of her.
“I cannot believe you’ve made the birthday cake that I want so much!” After 28.C it, she said, “It is so delicious! All the love that you two mixed into the cake makes it the 29.____B in the whole world!”
Next time, if you face anything impossible, don’t worry. Break it down into smaller, possible parts. Then make a schedule and do one 30.C part at a time, and you really will get it done!
