It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened on the night when Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway40, blue lights and sirens (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder (路肩).”
But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of the injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”
“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver’s license.”
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty — a thousand dollars for the new engine — not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
4. Why did Floyd Hyde drive the car before he got onto Highway 40?
A. To arrest a criminal. B. To catch up with a car.
C. To go to the police station. D. To deal with an accident.
5. What was Hyde’s expectation when he was following the Firebird?
A. Another nearby unit could stop the speeding car.
B. The driver of the Firebird would turn his car around.
C. Another nearby unit could take care of the injured people.
D. The driver of the Firebird would show him his identity card.
6. What happened to the Firebird?
A. Something was wrong with the wheel. B. Something was wrong with the engine.
C. The car crashed into another one. D. The car turned upside down.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The driver had to face the music. B. The driver was finally under control.
C. The driver was actually in a dilemma. D. The driver had to turn to others for help.
C
Chinese scientists have collected seeds of several plants at a height of about 6,200 meters above sea level on the world's highest peak—Mount Qomolangma and will permanently preserve them in a place where seeds can be kept alive for as long as thousands of years.
The seed haven, namely the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species (GBWS), is located in an ordinary four-story building in a research institute in Kunming, Yunnan Province.
As the genes of most plants are contained in their seeds germplasm resources have become the carriers of plants' genetic information. A seed bank serves as the most important facility for preserving such resources.
The fast loss of biodiversity and germplasm resources is the main reason for the establishment of seed banks around the world. Construction of the germplasm bank in Kunming started in 2004, and it was put into operation three years later.
“Wildlife germplasm resources have great application potential in the biological industry, attracting global attention, especially for the collection and preservation of wild plants,” said a researcher. Currently, seeds can only be accepted by the GBWS if they tick at least one of the three boxes: endangered, endemic (特有的) or “of economic importance”.
The long-term conservation of a seed is a complex procedure, involving more than 70steps, at the end of which the seed will be stored at -20℃. If properly stored, the seed could theoretically stay alive for decades or even thousands of years.
“When a species is destroyed by natural disasters, we will activate these seeds and bring the species to life,” said Li Dezhu, director of the seed bank.
8. What does the text say about the GBWS in Kunming?
A. It has been in use since 2004. B. It lies in a four-story building.
C. It is the largest of its kind in the world. D. It stores the most seeds from Mount Qomolangma.
9. What's the main purpose in establishing the seed bank?
A. To develop high-quality seeds. B. To store worldwide seed data.
C. To guide modern agriculture. D. To conserve biodiversity.
10. Which of the following can be accepted by the GBWS?
A. Seeds that can grow in extreme weather. B. Seeds that have some medical effect.
C. Seeds with high economic value. D. Seeds widely grown by farmers.
11. Why is the text written?
A. Mainly to amuse readers. B. Mainly to solve a problem.
C. Mainly to introduce some plants. D. Mainly to persuade consumers.
D
Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 100, will always be remembered for the key role he played in the normalization of China-US relations.
The secret trip he made to Beijing in July 1971, at the height of the Cold War, paved the way for the historic visit by then US president Richard Nixon to the Chinese capital in February 1972. “The week that changed the world” helped end more than 20 years of estrangement (疏远) between China and the United States, and led to the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1979. The following more than four decades of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries, although not always smooth sailing, have reshaped the global geopolitical landscape, contributing to peace, stability and the development of the world.
As an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture, in China Kissinger is heralded for his visionary (有远见的) and insightful thinking on China-US ties. The role he played in bridging the differences between the two countries — as highlighted by the more than 100 trips he paid to China — made him a trusted messenger for successive leaders of both countries.
He was worried by the many US politicians trying to play the Taiwan card to contain China's rise, a situation which, in his view, is against the long-term interests of both China and the US. “Keep in mind that if China and America are in conflict, then the whole world will be divided,” he said. To minimize the chance of the two countries sliding into a serious conflict, Kissinger advised the US “to keep from being adversarial (对抗) and pursue dialogue instead”. He urged China and the US to cooperate, because “working together, we can achieve great things, not just for our countries, but also for humanity”.
The death of Kissinger is a great loss. But his legacy (遗产) will last forever. What he said and did to help develop a sound and healthy US-China relationship should inspire all those who are working for a better relationship between the two countries. His call for dialogue and cooperation, rather than confrontation and zero-sum competition, should shed light on the course for healthy interactions between the two sides.
12. Why did Kissinger arrive in Beijing in 1972?
A. To represent the US to talk about some trade deals.
B. To have a tour around the city and know more about it.
C. To deal with some important personal affairs in the city.
D. To get ready for Richard Nixon's paying a visit to Beijing.
13. What is the possible meaning of the underlined phrase “heralded for” in Paragraph 3?
A. Adapted to. B. Praised for. C. Prepared for. D. Attached to.
14. What did Kissinger advocate according to the news report?
A. That the US and China should make compromises.
B. That the US and China should go their separate ways.
C. That the US and China should lead the world together.
D. That the US and China should communicate and work together.
15. Which can serve as the best title for the news report?
A. Kissinger’s legacy needs to be passed on
B. Kissinger warns America not to contain China’s rise
C. Kissinger worries about conflict between America and China
D. Kissinger — an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture

Why You Should Schedule Some “Me Time” Every Day
Most people in our culture feel the need to be going all the time. ____16____ if we are not working and putting our energy into something. We feel taking time for ourselves is a waste. And to some extent, it’s true—pushing yourself nonstop may bring some measure of success. However, going for long periods without time for yourself may cost you a lot in the end. Stress and the inability to enjoy a little time out have very real health and psychological effects, such as headaches, heart attacks, depression and poor concentration.
So, the biggest reason to take a little time out for yourself is to avoid these negative consequences of not doing so. More than that, “me” time can make you a better person both inside and out. Specifically, taking some “me” time can help you avoid bad mood and enable you to control your emotions. If you live with someone, like a spouse(配偶), children, or even a pet, they may not understand your need to take “me” time but they certainly will appreciate the way your mood has improved. Contrary to this, the lack of time to yourself can cause you to build up anger. ____17____.
It might seem easy to schedule a little “me” time but often it isn’t. So you must give yourself permission to take at least a half hour per day, even if it’s divided, just for yourself. If you have to, set the alarm, schedule it on the calendar, or put it on your “to-do” list for the day. ____18____. It can be as simple as sitting on the deck, reading a book, and watching the sun come up with a hot cup of coffee. In addition to that, setting boundaries is important. Realize that there are limits to what you can do, and build your life around that. Also acknowledge that you need to limit the demands that other people can make on your time.
Taking a little time for yourself refreshes and re-energizes you. ____19____. You come to realize that you are important and deserve to have a little time to yourself. If you engage in something you enjoy during your time out, you also have the satisfaction of reading that book, or writing that poem about that. ____20____ and don’t push yourself to complete anything. Simply enjoy the time out.
A. We believe we are wasting time
B. You may need time to make preparations
C. That can harm both you and your relationships
D. Whatever you have to do, make it happen every day
E. But you should try to do something meaningful and valuable
F. It allows you to think more clearly and make better decisions
G. But be careful that you use your “me” time for leisurely activities

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alice sat in the car while palm trees seemed to speed by the car window. Eight-year-old Alice began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car’s cool air. “The aquarium (水族馆) won’t be crowded, I bet, and people are going to notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears coming from behind her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst,” she thought to herself.
Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a corner of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with a a prosthetic tail instead of a real tail?” she asked an aquarium staff member. He nodded and replied, “Yes, that’s Betty. She’s a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her?” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Alice caught her breath. “She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail to help her swim like a dolphin’s supposed to swim,” the staff member continued. “Every day, Betty shows us anything is possible if we believe.”
Alice felt her heart was touched. She waved at Betty. Looking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鰭), came to her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right into my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Alice: We’re the same.
Back home, all Alice talked about was Betty. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater.
Unfortunately, another blow hit Alice. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Alice suffered the pain in her leg. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news to them that she would need some surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell (地狱) came back to her.
She started fearing surgery again and refused to go to hospital for treatment.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Encouraged by Betty, Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to.

The influence of the book on popular perceptions of pirates is huge, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an “X”, sailing ships, tropical islands and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.(《金银岛》是苏格兰作家罗伯特·路易斯的一部冒险小说,讲述了一个“海盗和埋藏的黄金”的故事。这本书让公众对海盗的看法产生了巨大的影响,包括标有“X”的藏宝图、帆船、热带岛屿和肩上背着鹦鹉的独腿海员等元素)”可知,水手袭击其他船只并抢劫他们的财产,说的就是海盗,所以Treasure Island讲述了这个故事。故选A项。
B
It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened on the night when Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway40, blue lights and sirens (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder (路肩).”
But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of the injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”
“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver’s license.”
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty — a thousand dollars for the new engine — not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
4. Why did Floyd Hyde drive the car before he got onto Highway 40?
A. To arrest a criminal. B. To catch up with a car.
C. To go to the police station. D. To deal with an accident.
5. What was Hyde’s expectation when he was following the Firebird?
A. Another nearby unit could stop the speeding car.
B. The driver of the Firebird would turn his car around.
C. Another nearby unit could take care of the injured people.
D. The driver of the Firebird would show him his identity card.
6. What happened to the Firebird?
A. Something was wrong with the wheel. B. Something was wrong with the engine.
C. The car crashed into another one. D. The car turned upside down.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The driver had to face the music. B. The driver was finally under control.
C. The driver was actually in a dilemma. D. The driver had to turn to others for help.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A

Chinese scientists have collected seeds of several plants at a height of about 6,200 meters above sea level on the world's highest peak—Mount Qomolangma and will permanently preserve them in a place where seeds can be kept alive for as long as thousands of years.
The seed haven, namely the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species (GBWS), is located in an ordinary four-story building in a research institute in Kunming, Yunnan Province.
As the genes of most plants are contained in their seeds, germplasm resources have become the carriers of plants' genetic information. A seed bank serves as the most important facility for preserving such resources.
The fast loss of biodiversity and germplasm resources is the main reason for the establishment of seed banks around the world. Construction of the germplasm bank in Kunming started in 2004, and it was put into operation three years later.
“Wildlife germplasm resources have great application potential in the biological industry, attracting global attention, especially for the collection and preservation of wild plants,” said a researcher. Currently, seeds can only be accepted by the GBWS if they tick at least one of the three boxes: endangered, endemic (特有的) or “of economic importance”.
The long-term conservation of a seed is a complex procedure, involving more than 70steps, at the end of which the seed will be stored at -20℃. If properly stored, the seed could theoretically stay alive for decades or even thousands of years.
“When a species is destroyed by natural disasters, we will activate these seeds and bring the species to life,” said Li Dezhu, director of the seed bank.
8. What does the text say about the GBWS in Kunming?
A. It has been in use since 2004. B. It lies in a four-story building.
C. It is the largest of its kind in the world. D. It stores the most seeds from Mount Qomolangma.
9. What's the main purpose in establishing the seed bank?
A. To develop high-quality seeds. B. To store worldwide seed data.
C. To guide modern agriculture. D. To conserve biodiversity.
10. Which of the following can be accepted by the GBWS?
A. Seeds that can grow in extreme weather. B. Seeds that have some medical effect.
C. Seeds with high economic value. D. Seeds widely grown by farmers.
11. Why is the text written?
A. Mainly to amuse readers. B. Mainly to solve a problem.
C. Mainly to introduce some plants. D. Mainly to persuade consumers.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。文章第四段讲到“The fast loss of biodiversity and germplasm resources is the main reason for the establishment of seed banks around the world. (生物多样性和种质资源的快速丧失是世界各地建立种子库的主要原因)”可知,建立种子库的主要目的是保护生物多样性。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。文章第五段讲到“Currently, seeds can only be accepted by the GBWS if they tick at least one of the three boxes: endangered, endemic (特有的) or “of economic importance”(目前,种子只有在符合三个条件中的至少一个条件时才能被GBWS接受:濒危、地方性或“具有经济重要性”。)”可知,GBWS可以接受经济价值高的种子。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“As the genes of most plants are contained in their seeds, germplasm resources have become the carriers of plants' genetic information. A seed bank serves as the most important facility for preserving such resources.( 由于大多数植物的基因都包含在种子中,种质资源已成为植物遗传信息的载体。种子库是保存这些资源的最重要的设施。)”以及最后一段讲到“When a species is destroyed by natural disasters, we will activate these seeds and bring the species to life (当一个物种被自然灾害摧毁时,我们将激活这些种子,让这个物种复活)”可知,写这篇文章主要是为了解决一个问题。故选B。

Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 100, will always be remembered for the key role he played in the normalization of China-US relations.
The secret trip he made to Beijing in July 1971, at the height of the Cold War, paved the way for the historic visit by then US president Richard Nixon to the Chinese capital in February 1972. “The week that changed the world” helped end more than 20 years of estrangement (疏远) between China and the United States, and led to the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1979. The following more than four decades of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries, although not always smooth sailing, have reshaped the global geopolitical landscape, contributing to peace, stability and the development of the world.
As an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture, in China Kissinger is heralded for his visionary (有远见的) and insightful thinking on China-US ties. The role he played in bridging the differences between the two countries — as highlighted by the more than 100 trips he paid to China — made him a trusted messenger for successive leaders of both countries.
He was worried by the many US politicians trying to play the Taiwan card to contain China's rise, a situation which, in his view, is against the long-term interests of both China and the US. “Keep in mind that if China and America are in conflict, then the whole world will be divided,” he said. To minimize the chance of the two countries sliding into a serious conflict, Kissinger advised the US “to keep from being adversarial (对抗的) and pursue dialogue instead”. He urged China and the US to cooperate, because “working together, we can achieve great things, not just for our countries, but also for humanity”.
The death of Kissinger is a great loss. But his legacy (遗产) will last forever. What he said and did to help develop a sound and healthy US-China relationship should inspire all those who are working for a better relationship between the two countries. His call for dialogue and cooperation, rather than confrontation and zero-sum competition, should shed light on the course for healthy interactions between the two sides.
12. Why did Kissinger arrive in Beijing in 1972?
A. To represent the US to talk about some trade deals.
B. To have a tour around the city and know more about it.
C. To deal with some important personal affairs in the city.
D. To get ready for Richard Nixon's paying a visit to Beijing.
13 What is the possible meaning of the underlined phrase “heralded for” in Paragraph 3?
A. Adapted to. B. Praised for. C. Prepared for. D. Attached to.
14. What did Kissinger advocate according to the news report?
A. That the US and China should make compromises.
B. That the US and China should go their separate ways.
C. That the US and China should lead the world together.
D. That the US and China should communicate and work together.
15. Which can serve as the best title for the news report?
A. Kissinger’s legacy needs to be passed on
B. Kissinger warns America not to contain China’s rise
C. Kissinger worries about conflict between America and China
D. Kissinger — an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了美国前国务卿亨利·基辛格在中美关系正常化中发挥的关键作用,并将永远为人们所记住。

【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段该句子前的“As an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture”(作为一名对中国历史和文化有着学术理解的外交官)以及该词组后面“his visionary (有远见的) and insightful thinking on China-US ties”(对中美关系的远见卓识和深刻见解),说明基辛格在中国评价很高。A. Adapted to.适应于;B. Praised for.称赞;C. Prepared for.为……准备;D. Attached to.依附于。由此判断,该词组是“热烈欢迎;称赞”的意思。B项符合文意,故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He urged China and the US to cooperate, because “working together, we can achieve great things, not just for our countries, but also for humanity”.”(他敦促中国和美国合作,因为“共同努力,我们可以取得伟大的成就,不仅是为了我们的国家,也是为了人类”。)由此判断,基辛格极力促成中美两国的合作,应进行深入交流和合作。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文,尤其是第一段“Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 100, will always be remembered for the key role he played in the normalization of China-US relations.(美国前国务卿亨利·基辛格于周三去世,享年100岁。人们将永远铭记他在中美关系正常化中发挥的关键作用。)”和最后一段中的“The death of Kissinger is a great loss. But his legacy (遗产) will last forever. What he said and did to help develop a sound and healthy US-China relationship should inspire all those who are working for a better relationship between the two countries.”(基辛格的逝世是一个巨大的损失。但他的遗志将永存。他为推动中美关系健康发展所做的言行,应该激励所有致力于改善两国关系的人。)可知,应该继承和发扬基辛格在中美两国关系之间的伟大愿景。A项“Kissinger’s legacy needs to be passed on”(基辛格的遗产需要传承下去)A项符合文意,故选A。

Why You Should Schedule Some “Me Time” Every Day
Most people in our culture feel the need to be going all the time. ____16____ if we are not working and putting our energy into something. We feel taking time for ourselves is a waste. And to some extent, it’s true—pushing yourself nonstop may bring some measure of success. However, going for long periods without time for yourself may cost you a lot in the end. Stress and the inability to enjoy a little time out have very real health and psychological effects, such as headaches, heart attacks, depression and poor concentration.
So, the biggest reason to take a little time out for yourself is to avoid these negative consequences of not doing so. More than that, “me” time can make you a better person both inside and out. Specifically, taking some “me” time can help you avoid bad mood and enable you to control your emotions. If you live with someone, like a spouse(配偶), children, or even a pet, they may not understand your need to take “me” time but they certainly will appreciate the way your mood has improved. Contrary to this, the lack of time to yourself can cause you to build up anger. ____17____.
It might seem easy to schedule a little “me” time, but often it isn’t. So you must give yourself permission to take at least a half hour per day, even if it’s divided, just for yourself. If you have to, set the alarm, schedule it on the calendar, or put it on your “to-do” list for the day. ____18____. It can be as simple as sitting on the deck, reading a book, and watching the sun come up with a hot cup of coffee. In addition to that, setting boundaries is important. Realize that there are limits to what you can do, and build your life around that. Also acknowledge that you need to limit the demands that other people can make on your time.
Taking a little time for yourself refreshes and re-energizes you. ____19____. You come to realize that you are important and deserve to have a little time to yourself. If you engage in something you enjoy during your time out, you also have the satisfaction of reading that book, or writing that poem about that. ____20____ and don’t push yourself to complete anything. Simply enjoy the time out.
A. We believe we are wasting time
B. You may need time to make preparations
C. That can harm both you and your relationships
D. Whatever you have to do, make it happen every day
E. But you should try to do something meaningful and valuable
F. It allows you to think more clearly and make better decisions
G. But be careful that you use your “me” time for leisurely activities
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了每天安排一些“自我”时间的原因。
【16题详解】
前文“Most people in our culture feel the need to be going all the time.(我们文化中的大多数人都觉得有必要一直工作下去。)”讲述了大多数人都认为自己必须一直工作下去,结合空后的“if we are not working and putting our energy into something(如果我们不工作,不把精力投入到某件事上)”和下句“We feel taking time for ourselves is a waste.(我们觉得把时间花在自己身上是浪费。)”可推出,这里应讲述我们认为不工作就是在浪费时间。A项“我们认为我们在浪费时间”承上启下。故选A。
【17题详解】
前文“Specifically, taking some “me” time can help you avoid bad mood and enable you to control your emotions. If you live with someone, like a spouse(配偶), children, or even a pet, they may not understand your need to take “me” time but they certainly will appreciate the way your mood has improved.(具体来说,花一些“自我”时间可以帮助你避免不良情绪,并使你能够控制自己的情绪。如果你和某人住在一起,比如配偶、孩子,甚至宠物,他们可能不理解你需要花“自我”时间,但他们肯定会欣赏你情绪的改善。)”讲述了花一些“自我”时间可以改善情绪,让身边的人感受到你良好的情绪,接着“Contrary to this, the lack of time to yourself can cause you to build up anger.(与此相反,没有自我时间会导致你产生愤怒。)”讲述了没有自我时间会让你产生愤怒情绪,空处应进一步说明这样对自己和身边人的影响,C项“这会伤害你和你的人际关系”符合题意。故选C。
【18题详解】
前文“It might seem easy to schedule a little “me” time, but often it isn’t. So you must give yourself permission to take at least a half hour per day, even if it’s divided, just for yourself. If you have to, set the alarm, schedule it on the calendar, or put it on your “to-do” list for the day.(安排一点“自我”时间似乎很容易,但通常不是这样。所以你必须允许自己每天至少只为自己花半个小时,即使是分散的。如果必须的话,可以设置闹钟,将其安排在日历上,或者将其列入当天的“待办事项”列表。)”讲述了安排“自我”时间通常有些难度,有必要的话可以把它列入自己的每日行程里,空处应进一步强调无论发生什么,都要坚持每天这么做,D项“无论你要做什么,每天都要做到”符合题意。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据下文“You come to realize that you are important and deserve to have a little time to yourself.(你逐渐意识到自己很重要,值得有一点自我时间。)”可知,空处应讲述花一些自我时间给你思想上带来的改变,F项“它可以让你思考得更清楚,做出更好的决定”符合题意。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据空后的“and don’t push yourself to complete anything(不要强迫自己完成任何事情)”可知,空处应强调要把自我时间用于放松,G项“但要小心,你要把“自我”时间用于悠闲活动”符合题意。故选G。

The Chinese idiom I like best
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The Chinese idiom I like best
My favorite Chinese idiom is shu neng sheng qiao, which means if you want to master a skill, you need to train and practise a lot to reach your goal. It equals the English proverb: Practice makes perfect.
The idiom is of great significance to me as it has been inspiring me to achieve great success. I used to get poor marks in math exams. It was my math teacher who told me “Practice makes perfect!” So I did a lot of maths exercises and I am making more and more progress in maths. I always keep the proverb in mind and often put it to use.
Such is my favorite Chinese idiom, a simple but powerful one.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alice sat in the car while palm trees seemed to speed by the car window. Eight-year-old Alice began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car’s cool air. “The aquarium (水族馆) won’t be crowded, I bet, and people are going to notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears coming from behind her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst,” she thought to herself.
Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a corner of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with a a prosthetic tail instead of a real tail?” she asked an aquarium staff member. He nodded and replied, “Yes, that’s Betty. She’s a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her?” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Alice caught her breath. “She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail to help her swim like a dolphin’s supposed to swim,” the staff member continued. “Every day, Betty shows us anything is possible if we believe.”
Alice felt her heart was touched. She waved at Betty. Looking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鰭), came to her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right into my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Alice: We’re the same.
Back home, all Alice talked about was Betty. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater.
Unfortunately, another blow hit Alice. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Alice suffered the pain in her leg. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news to them that she would need some surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell (地狱) came back to her.
She started fearing surgery again and refused to go to hospital for treatment.

【答案】范文
“How can I persuade Alice to undergo the surgery?” Alice’s mom said to herself. Then she had an idea and she decided to take Alice back to Clearwater. On arriving at Clearwater, Alice couldn’t wait to see Betty, the lovely dolphin that comforted her and boosted her mood. As Alice’s mother pushed the wheelchair to Betty, she raised her flippers, came to her and lifted her head. Alice couldn’t hold back her excitement. Looking at the girl, Betty seemed to say, “Go and have the operation.” Alice absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind.
Encouraged by Betty, Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to. Finally came the day when Alice was in the hospital again. Though feeling nervous and afraid of the pain the surgery might bring, Alice faced it bravely. The operation was a success. Her mother took her to Clearwater the day when she was discharged from hospital. Inspired by Betty’s swimming like a normal dolphin, Alice practiced hard to walk. Her confidence has been improved as she gradually recovers. She has no idea what future holds for her but she will do anything to have a better look at this wonderful world.
