2、fe. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.Its not difficult for us to come up with several possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of s
3、erious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of ou
4、r classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motiv
5、ation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.【参考范文译文】俗话说,知识能改变命运。因此,为了获得知识,我们必须努力学习。然而,不可忽略的是,有效的学习既离不开学习动力的存在,也离不开科学的学习方法。不难列举上述观点的原因。首先,学习是一件严肃且困难的事。因此,不是每个人都能在没有某种内在动机的情况下一直继续。此外,科学的方法在提高学习效率方面发挥着重要的作用。我们当中有不少人都认为,学习的时间越长,成绩就会越好。但是我们周边
6、同学的很多经历证明这个观点并不完全正确。具体来说,长时间的学习是累人的,因此它很可能会降低学习效率,而学习效率对于学业成绩来说却是至关重要的。综上所述,我们可以很容易就得出如下结论:学习动机和方法的重要性是不言而喻的,因此我们非常有必要形成良好的学习方法。Part Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

The depressing stories just keep coming. Reading the earnin
36、gs announcements of large retail stores like Macys, Nordstrom, and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit. The interact is apparently taking down yet another industry. Brick and mortar stores (实体店) seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, the Census Bureau
37、 just released data showing that online retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.B) But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. Looking only at that 15.2 percent surge would be misleading. It was an
38、increase that was on a small base of 6.9 percent. Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.C) More than 20 years after the internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in th
39、e first quarter of 2016. Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015 and 2016.D) So, despite all the talk about drone (无人机) deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing anxiety over consumers going online, an
40、d even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a huge antitrust problem, the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Of course, the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. Whats the real story?E) Many firms operating brick and mortar store
41、s are in trouble. The retail industry is getting reinvented, as we describe in our new book Matchmakers. Its standing in the Path of what Schumpeter called a gale (大风) of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached gale force, most large retailers are searc
42、hing for a response. As the CFO of Macys put it recently, “Were frankly scratching our heads.”F) But its not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retail was one of those industries the internet was going to kill-and quickly. Thedot.corn bust discredite
43、d most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, onventional retailers confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.G) It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isnt a simple battle to the death between brick
44、s and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inv
45、entory, to marketing, to getting paid.H) More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep, Apples massively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazons small steps in the same direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to mentio
46、n the large number of creative new retailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.I) Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and its also not happening on what used to be called Internet Time. Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly, of cour
47、se. Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely anticipated changes werent quick, and some havent really started. With the benefit of hindsight (后见之明), it looks like the interact will transform the economy at something like the pac
48、e of other great inventions like electricity. B2B commerce, for example, didnt move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that doesnt mean it wont do so over the next few decades.J) But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though it hasnt been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online and therefore dont need to go to as many stores to find what they want. T
