Many young Tibetan college graduates long for a stable job in the public sector after graduation, but Samdrub Norbu is an exception. The 23-year-old founder of Yangchak Art has been running a Tibetan guitar business for more than half a year since getting his degree from Tibet University last year.
Samdrub Norbu, born to a Tibetan family in Lhokha, a cradle of Tibetan civilization, is captivated by Tibetan culture. “The Tibetan guitar is what I love. That’s why I chose this business,” Samdrub Norbu said. “I don’t know what the future hold, but I am happy every day about what I have been trying so far, never feeling tired.” He has a distinctive dual motive: earning a profit while preserving Tibetan musical instrument culture.
Despite finally achieving success, Samdrub Norbu’s business activities in Tibetan instruments got off to a shaky start. While still studying in college three years ago, he opened a shop in his home county selling music al instruments. However, the business failed and he lost almost 500,000 yuan ($69,000), which had a huge impact on him and his family.
“The most pain I suffered while having difficulties was not physical, but mental,” he said. During his darkest days, his relatives—apart from his supportive mother and father—friends and even his girlfriend, abandoned him.
In spite of the failure and setbacks in life, his strong determination to fulfill his dream emboldened him once more and supported him in the success of running the same business again after his graduation. In just a few months since opening the first shop in Lhasa last year, his business has already expanded, with a second shop opening in Lhasa four months ago. The number of staff in his workshop has grown to 10.
Besides selling various Tibetan guitars, he also operates a workshop to produce them himself and runs Tibetan guitar learning courses for beginners. He aims to found an art school in the future.
“Like the Tibetan saying, ‘There is no room for sorrow in a place where one can find music and dancing’, I believe what I have been doing can bring happiness to others.”
4. Why is Samdrub Norbu referred to as an exception?
A. He graduated with honours. B. He pursued a stable job.
C. He enjoyed playing the Tibetan guitar. D. He started his own business.
5. Which is closest in meaning to “captivated” in paragraph 2?
A. Confused. B. Attracted. C. Identified. D. Represented.
6. What contributed most to Norbu’s success?
A. His academic achievement. B. His trustworthy relatives.:
C. His strong resolution. D. His wealthy families.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. A man can do no more than he can. B. Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.
C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. Do what you love and love what you do.
C
In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hot-stone treatment. Therapists (治疗师) use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to rub or press certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for health benefits dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.
8. What does the hot-stone treatment can not do?
A. Relax your muscle. B. Better your blood circulation.
C. Improve your dieting. D. Discharge the toxins inside.
9. What will you do while taking hot-stone bath?
A. Accumulate toxins during last winter. B. Bath in hot water or steam.
C. Participate in sports activities before it. D. Lie on some hot flat stones.
10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?
A. It successfully cured many diseases by itself. B. Its popularity lies in its benefits on health.
C. Its origin comes from modern concepts. D. It can help people sweat little in summer.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the Text?
A. Small hot stones big healthy functions B. Summer, the best time to recover your energy
C. Hot-stone therapy, a way to cure all diseases D. Sweating, the best way to release toxins
D
The maleo, a bird with black feathers and a pink chest, is native to Indonesia’s Sulawesi island and a few neighboring ones. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IU-CN), which identifies wildlife across the world currently facing threats, estimates only 800 to 1,400 adult maleos remain in the wild. Experts do not know how many maleos still live across West Sulawesi island. They were only able to record the presence of nesting grounds in 23 villages based on reports from locals in the area. But of those, only 18 are considered active nesting areas.
Recently, the birds have been faced with new threats, which accelerate their decline. The Indonesian government plans to move the nation’s capital from Jakarta to a new city on Borneo island, which is just a six-hour boat trip apart from Sulawesi island. The island takes on the building of new roads and seaports to be used to transport materials to the new capital. Activities also include tree clearing, digging, and removing stones. The process already has changed the forest environment on West Sulawesi and is harming maleo nesting areas near the beach. These changes have made the trip for maleos to lay their eggs increasingly difficult.
Another problem has been poachers. The Associated Press reports that, regardless of official ban, they steal maleo eggs that the males’ parents have hidden in the sand, and sell the eggs for about $1 to people as food. The eggs are a traditional gift for many people in Mamu-ju and other parts of Sulawesi.
“As far as I know, maleo birds are in decline,” said Andi Aco Takdir, chief of the West Sulawesi Forestry Agency. He pointed to several reasons for the decline, including destruction of beach areas, and expanding human development activities. He added that government officials there are prepared to take steps to protect the maleos even with the new capital development. Andi said, “Nature must be used as an achievement and must not be built leaving be-hind problems.”
12. What do the numbers in the first paragraph suggest?
A. The maleos are popular with locals. B. The maleos are in need of protection.
C. The maleos are adaptable to the climate. D. The maleos are neglected by natives.
13. What causes a further drop of the maleo population?
A. The shortage of food. B. The damage of wildlife.
C. The development of Sulawesi island. D. The supporting work for the new capital.
14 Why do some people steal male o eggs?
A. To earn money. B. To make gifts. C. To have fun. D. To follow blindly.
15. What can we infer from Andi’s words?
A. The new capital development might be stopped at once.
B. The government will balance conservation and development.
C. There seems to be a tough way for the new capital to develop.
D. The government will concentrate on solving urban problems.

Find your new favorite hobby
Challenging and fun hobbies have the power to make us happier and healthier. They can lead to better physical health, lower stress, greater life satisfaction, a larger social network and improve work performance. ____16____ But where do you start? Here are some tips on how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love.
Ask yourself how you want to feel
Hobbies present an escape — they can help you get out of your head and calm down. Ask yourself how you want an activity to make you feel. Mentally engaged? Distracted? Relaxed? Socially connected? ____17____ Recognize that you have different needs at different moments, and that’s OK.
Start small
____18____ Try to figure out gradually if it’s right for you. You can always do more later. If you’re wondering if paintballing might be a good fit, join an outing or two with a local Meet-up group. Or sign up for a one-time pottery class rather than a set of eight.
____19____
When people feel guilty about spending time on leisure, they experience increased symptoms of depression and anxiety. Give yourself permission to do something that you like and keep in mind that if a hobby makes you healthier and happier, everyone around you will benefit. Think of discovering new hobbies as a way to add new dimensions to your life, and enjoy the process.
Take a trip back in time
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The answer could point you toward an appealing hobby. Revisit some activities you loved when you were young, like drawing, putting together model kits, collecting things or building clay figures, which is really helpful to start your new hobbies. ____20____
Keep a list
Keep a list on your fridge or other things of all the things that strike you as interesting. Write down potential interests as they come to you, and you’ll have no shortage of options to explore when you’re ready.
A. Remove guilt.
B Keep optimistic.
C. Plus, they often promote connection with others.
D. Those childhood delights can easily develop into adult hobbies.
E. Don’t invest a ton of time and money in a new hobby immediately.
F. You should keep an open mind and don’t ignore some potential hobbies.
G. It’s also helpful to consider what your life is missing, like creativity or physical activity.

POOR DAVY
It was break time at the village school, surrounded by acres of vibrant flower fields. The bell had rung, and the children had run out into the bright sunshine, wild with laughter and fun.
All the children but poor Davy. He came out last, very slowly, but he did not laugh. He was in trouble, and the bright, golden sunlight failed to cheer him up.
As he walked across the yard, his eyes fell upon the vibrant flowers that bloomed in vivid colors among the rolling green fields. All kinds of violets (紫罗兰) nodded their heads in the breeze, as if trying to cheer him up. Yet Davy’s heart was too heavy to appreciate their beauty.
He walked across the fields, and sat down on a stone behind the old maple. A little bird on the highest branch sang just to make him laugh. But Davy did not notice it. He was thinking of the cruel words that had been said about his ragged (破烂的) clothes. Tears welled up in his eyes, and streamed down his cheeks.
Poor Davy had no father, and his mother had to work hard to keep him at school.
That evening, Davy took the path home that led across the fields and through the woods. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the flowering meadows. But Davy’s heart was still heavy, so he walked with his head bowed.
Davy did not wish to trouble his mother; so he lingered a while among the trees, and at last threw himself on the green moss (苔藓) under them. Just then, his teacher came along. She saw who it was, stopped, and then kindly asked,“What is the matter, Davy?”
He did not speak, but the tears began again to start. “Won’t you tell me? Perhaps I can help you.” she asked gently, kneeling beside him.
Then he told her all his trouble. When he ended, she said, cheerily, “I have a plan, Davy, that I think will help you.”
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。
“Oh, what is it?” he said, sitting up with a look of hope, while a tear fell upon a blue violet.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So, day after day, Davy hunted in the woods for the prettiest flowers and mosses.

Many young Tibetan college graduates long for a stable job in the public sector after graduation, but Samdrub Norbu is an exception. The 23-year-old founder of Yangchak Art has been running a Tibetan guitar business for more than half a year since getting his degree from Tibet University last year.
Samdrub Norbu, born to a Tibetan family in Lhokha, a cradle of Tibetan civilization, is captivated by Tibetan culture. “The Tibetan guitar is what I love. That’s why I chose this business,” Samdrub Norbu said. “I don’t know what the future hold, but I am happy every day about what I have been trying so far, never feeling tired.” He has a distinctive dual motive: earning a profit while preserving Tibetan musical instrument culture.
Despite finally achieving success, Samdrub Norbu’s business activities in Tibetan instruments got off to a shaky start. While still studying in college three years ago, he opened a shop in his home county selling music al instruments. However, the business failed and he lost almost 500,000 yuan ($69,000), which had a huge impact on him and his family.
“The most pain I suffered while having difficulties was not physical, but mental,” he said. During his darkest days, his relatives—apart from his supportive mother and father—friends and even his girlfriend, abandoned him.
In spite of the failure and setbacks in life, his strong determination to fulfill his dream emboldened him once more and supported him in the success of running the same business again after his graduation. In just a few months since opening the first shop in Lhasa last year, his business has already expanded, with a second shop opening in Lhasa four months ago. The number of staff in his workshop has grown to 10.
Besides selling various Tibetan guitars, he also operates a workshop to produce them himself and runs Tibetan guitar learning courses for beginners. He aims to found an art school in the future.
“Like the Tibetan saying, ‘There is no room for sorrow in a place where one can find music and dancing’, I believe what I have been doing can bring happiness to others.”
4. Why is Samdrub Norbu referred to as an exception?
A. He graduated with honours. B. He pursued a stable job.
C. He enjoyed playing the Tibetan guitar. D. He started his own business.
5. Which is closest in meaning to “captivated” in paragraph 2?
A. Confused. B. Attracted. C. Identified. D. Represented.
6. What contributed most to Norbu’s success?
A. His academic achievement. B. His trustworthy relatives.:
C. His strong resolution. D. His wealthy families.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. A man can do no more than he can. B. Adversity makes a man wise not rich.
C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. Do what you love and love what you do.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Samdrub Norbu在毕业后选择了一条与众不同的道路,创办了一家藏族吉他企业——Yangchak Art。尽管他的创业之路并非一帆风顺,但他凭借坚定的信念和对梦想的追求,最终成功地在拉萨开设了第二家店铺,并计划未来创办一所艺术学校。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Many young Tibetan college graduates long for a stable job in the public sector after graduation, but Samdrub Norbu is an exception. The 23-year-old founder of Yangchak Art has been running a Tibetan guitar business for more than half a year since getting his degree from Tibet University last year.(许多年轻的藏族大学毕业生毕业后都渴望在公共部门找到一份稳定的工作。自从去年从西藏大学毕业后,23岁的Yangchak艺术创始人Samdrub Norbu就一直在经营一家藏族吉他生意,至今已有半年多的时间了)”可知,Samdrub Norbu创办了自己的生意,而大多数毕业生渴望一份稳定的工作,因此Samdrub Norbu独特之处是创办了自己的生意。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Samdrub Norbu, born to a Tibetan family in Lhokha, a cradle of Tibetan civilization(Samdrub Norbu出生在西藏文明摇篮Lhokha的一个藏族家庭)”和下文“The Tibetan guitar is what I love.(我喜欢藏吉他)”可知,Samdrub Norbu出生在西藏文明摇篮Lhokha的一个藏族家庭,喜欢藏吉他,由此推知他深深地被藏族文化所吸引。所以captivated 的意思是“被吸引”。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“In spite of the failure and setbacks in life, his strong determination to fulfill his dream emboldened him once more and supported him in the success of running the same business again after his graduation. (尽管生活中遭遇了失败和挫折,但他实现梦想的坚定决心再次激励了他,并支撑着他毕业后再次成功经营起同样的业务。)”可知,是坚定的决心使得它最终成功,C选项中的resolution与原文中determination是同义词,故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。文本强调了Samdrub Norbu因为对藏文化和藏吉他的热爱而选择了这个行业,并因为这份热爱和坚持,最终克服了初始的困难并取得了成功。这体现了“做你热爱的,热爱你所做的”的重要性。故选D。
C
In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.
One popular option is hot-stone treatment. Therapists (治疗师) use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to rub or press certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.
Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.
Using hot stones for health benefits dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.
The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.
8. What does the hot-stone treatment can not do?
A. Relax your muscle. B. Better your blood circulation.
C. Improve your dieting. D. Discharge the toxins inside.
9. What will you do while taking hot-stone bath?
A. Accumulate toxins during last winter. B. Bath in hot water or steam.
C. Participate in sports activities before it. D. Lie on some hot flat stones.
10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?
A. It successfully cured many diseases by itself. B. Its popularity lies in its benefits on health.
C. Its origin comes from modern concepts. D. It can help people sweat little in summer.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the Text?
A. Small hot stones, big healthy functions B. Summer, the best time to recover your energy
C. Hot-stone therapy, a way to cure all diseases D. Sweating, the best way to release toxins
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,讲述了在夏季利用热石疗法改善身体健康。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.(热石的温暖会促进血液循环,也有助于放松肌肉,而出汗也被认为有助于排出身体的毒素)”可知,热石有助于放松肌肉,促进血液循环和排出毒素,没有提到能改善饮食。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃.(人们不用水或蒸汽加热和清洗身体,只需穿上一件外套或一些舒适的东西,然后躺在由热石头制成的加热的石板上,这些石板被加热到45℃左右)”可知,洗热石浴的时候需要躺在一些热的扁平石头,即石板上。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.(这种疗法受到了许多人的广泛欢迎,尤其是那些在凉爽的空调房间工作的人。热石疗法可以帮助治愈许多疾病,包括背痛)”可知,热石疗法广受欢迎,由于它对健康有好处。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章全文内容及最后一段“The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.(这种疗法受到了许多人的广泛欢迎,尤其是那些在凉爽的空调房间工作的人。热石疗法可以帮助治愈许多疾病,包括背痛)”可知,本文介绍了热石疗法对身体有益,A选项“小热石,大养生功能”符合本文主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选A。

The maleo, a bird with black feathers and a pink chest, is native to Indonesia’s Sulawesi island and a few neighboring ones. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IU-CN), which identifies wildlife across the world currently facing threats, estimates only 800 to 1,400 adult maleos remain in the wild. Experts do not know how many maleos still live across West Sulawesi island. They were only able to record the presence of nesting grounds in 23 villages based on reports from locals in the area. But of those, only 18 are considered active nesting areas.
Recently, the birds have been faced with new threats, which accelerate their decline. The Indonesian government plans to move the nation’s capital from Jakarta to a new city on Borneo island, which is just a six-hour boat trip apart from Sulawesi island. The island takes on the building of new roads and seaports to be used to transport materials to the new capital. Activities also include tree clearing, digging, and removing stones. The process already has changed the forest environment on West Sulawesi and is harming maleo nesting areas near the beach. These changes have made the trip for maleos to lay their eggs increasingly difficult.
Another problem has been poachers. The Associated Press reports that, regardless of official ban, they steal maleo eggs that the males’ parents have hidden in the sand, and sell the eggs for about $1 to people as food. The eggs are a traditional gift for many people in Mamu-ju and other parts of Sulawesi.
“As far as I know, maleo birds are in decline,” said Andi Aco Takdir, chief of the West Sulawesi Forestry Agency. He pointed to several reasons for the decline, including destruction of beach areas, and expanding human development activities. He added that government officials there are prepared to take steps to protect the maleos even with the new capital development. Andi said, “Nature must be used as an achievement and must not be built leaving be-hind problems.”
12. What do the numbers in the first paragraph suggest?
A. The maleos are popular with locals. B. The maleos are in need of protection.
C. The maleos are adaptable to the climate. D. The maleos are neglected by natives.
13. What causes a further drop of the maleo population?
A. The shortage of food. B. The damage of wildlife.
C. The development of Sulawesi island. D. The supporting work for the new capital.
14. Why do some people steal male o eggs?
A. To earn money. B. To make gifts. C. To have fun. D. To follow blindly.
15. What can we infer from Andi’s words?
A. The new capital development might be stopped at once.
B. The government will balance conservation and development.
C There seems to be a tough way for the new capital to develop.
D. The government will concentrate on solving urban problems.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,讲述了苏拉冢雉面临灭绝的威胁,需要保护,文章介绍了威胁其生存的原因及政府对于其保护的必要性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IU-CN), which identifies wildlife across the world currently facing threats, estimates only 800 to1,400 adult maleos remain in the wild.(国际自然保护联盟(IU-CN)确定了世界各地目前面临威胁的野生动物,估计只有800到1400只成年苏拉冢雉在野外生存)”可知,第一段的数据表明苏拉冢雉面临威胁,需要保护。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Recently, the birds have been faced with new threats, which accelerate their decline. The Indonesian government plans to move the nation’s capital from Jakarta to a new city on Borneo island, which is just a six-hour boat trip apart from Sulawesi island. The island takes on the building of new roads and seaports to be used to transport materials to the new capital. Activities also include tree clearing, digging, and removing stones. The process already has changed the forest environment on West Sulawesi and is harming maleo nesting areas near the beach. These changes have made the trip for maleos to lay their eggs increasingly difficult.(最近,这种鸟面临着新的威胁,加速了它们的下降。印尼政府计划将首都从雅加达搬到婆罗洲岛上的一个新城市,婆罗洲岛距离苏拉威西岛只有6个小时的乘船旅行。岛上开始修建新的道路和港口,用于向新首都运输物资。活动还包括清理树木、挖掘和移除石头。这一过程已经改变了西苏拉威西的森林环境,并损害了海滩附近的苏拉冢雉产卵区。这些变化使得苏拉冢雉产卵变得越来越困难)”可知,搬迁新首都的一系列工作使得苏拉冢雉的数量进一步下降。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The Associated Press reports that, regardless of official ban, they steal maleo eggs that the males’ parents have hidden in the sand, and sell the eggs for about $1 to people as food.(据美联社报道,他们不顾官方的禁令,偷了雄鱼父母藏在沙子里的苏拉冢雉蛋,然后以大约1美元的价格卖给人们作为食物)”可知,人们偷蛋是为了赚钱。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He added that government officials there are prepared to take steps to protect the maleos even with the new capital development. Andi said, “Nature must be used as an achievement and must not be built leaving be-hind problems.”(他补充说,当地政府官员已经准备好采取措施保护苏拉冢雉,即使是在新的首都开发项目中。安迪说:“自然必须作为一种成就来使用,而不能留下问题。”)”可知,政府将在建设开发新首都时注意保护苏拉冢雉,因此,它将平衡保护与发展。故选B。

Find your new favorite hobby
Challenging and fun hobbies have the power to make us happier and healthier. They can lead to better physical health, lower stress, greater life satisfaction, a larger social network and improve work performance. ____16____ But where do you start? Here are some tips on how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love.
Ask yourself how you want to feel
Hobbies present an escape — they can help you get out of your head and calm down. Ask yourself how you want an activity to make you feel. Mentally engaged? Distracted? Relaxed? Socially connected? ____17____ Recognize that you have different needs at different moments, and that’s OK.
Start small
____18____ Try to figure out gradually if it’s right for you. You can always do more later. If you’re wondering if paintballing might be a good fit, join an outing or two with a local Meet-up group. Or sign up for a one-time pottery class rather than a set of eight.
____19____
When people feel guilty about spending time on leisure, they experience increased symptoms of depression and anxiety. Give yourself permission to do something that you like and keep in mind that if a hobby makes you healthier and happier, everyone around you will benefit. Think of discovering new hobbies as a way to add new dimensions to your life, and enjoy the process.
Take a trip back in time
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The answer could point you toward an appealing hobby. Revisit some activities you loved when you were young, like drawing, putting together model kits, collecting things or building clay figures, which is really helpful to start your new hobbies. ____20____
Keep a list
Keep a list on your fridge or other things of all the things that strike you as interesting. Write down potential interests as they come to you, and you’ll have no shortage of options to explore when you’re ready.
A. Remove guilt.
B. Keep optimistic.
C. Plus, they often promote connection with others.
D. Those childhood delights can easily develop into adult hobbies.
E. Don’t invest a ton of time and money in a new hobby immediately.
F. You should keep an open mind and don’t ignore some potential hobbies.
G. It’s also helpful to consider what your life is missing, like creativity or physical activity.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. E 19. A 20. D

【20题详解】
根据上文“Revisit some activities you loved when you were young, like drawing, putting together model kits, collecting things or building clay figures, which is really helpful to start your new hobbies.”(重温你年轻时喜欢的一些活动,比如画画、组装模型、收集东西或制作泥人,这对你开始新的爱好很有帮助。)可知,选项承接上文说明上文可能产生的结果。故D选项“这些童年的乐趣很容易发展成成人的爱好。”切题。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:无论是古代还是现代的每一件瓷器,都反映了制作者独特的传统、审美和技艺。空格处应填谓语动词;结合句意和上下句的时态可知,句子陈述客观事实,空格处填一般现在时;主语Each piece是单数,空格处要填动词的三单形式。故填reflects。
【37题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:事实上,这个国家和这种材料在英文中同名都是“China”(中国/瓷器),这证明了欧洲人长期以来对瓷器在中国文明中的重要性有着深刻的认识。空处引导同位语从句,从句句意完整、成分齐全,需用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:事实上,这个国家和这种材料在英文中同名都是“China”(中国/瓷器),这证明了欧洲人长期以来对瓷器在中国文明中的重要性有着深刻的认识。介词of前面应当用名词形式,aware是形容词,其名词是awareness。故填awareness。
【39题详解】
考查形容词性的物主代词。句意:瓷器在15世纪传入欧洲,在中国与其他国家的交流中占据了重要地位。way是名词,结合句意,其前用形容词性的物主代词,Porcelain在这里是不可数名词,应用its。故填its。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,德国的 凯塞尔·兰迪博物馆(Keise l Randy Museum)收藏了一只可追溯到明代的青花瓷碗,象征着中国瓷器所代表的简洁与优雅。houses为谓语动词,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,bowl和date为主谓关系,需填现在分词形式。故填dating。

考查介词。句意:历史上,中国和其他亚洲国家与欧洲之间一直保持着繁忙而广泛的瓷器贸易。trade with Europe 表示“与欧洲之间的贸易”,符合句意。故填with。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:从1602年到1682年,荷兰东印度公司向欧洲运送了超过1600万件瓷器,进一步确立了中国生产精美陶瓷的声誉。article是可数名词,其前有16 million修饰,空格处要填article的复数形式。故填articles。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:瓷器在17和18世纪欧洲对中国的理想化过程中起到了重要作用。role是单数可数名词,important以元音音素开头,空格处应填填冠词 an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:洛可可风格(rococo style)在那个时期在欧洲非常流行,这种风格受到了“中国风”的影响,这从瓷器的样式和受中国启发的花园中可见一斑。空格处要填谓语动词,句子时态为过去时,且单数主语The rococo style 与影响者 by the “Chinese vogue”之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态was influenced。故填was influenced。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:总之,瓷器依然是一种永恒的材料,其美丽与多样性继续吸引着人们,使其成为一种永恒的珍宝。空处引导定语从句,从句主语beauty and diversity和先行词material之间是所属关系,需用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。

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。
POOR DAVY
It was break time at the village school, surrounded by acres of vibrant flower fields. The bell had rung, and the children had run out into the bright sunshine, wild with laughter and fun.
All the children but poor Davy. He came out last, very slowly, but he did not laugh. He was in trouble, and the bright, golden sunlight failed to cheer him up.
As he walked across the yard, his eyes fell upon the vibrant flowers that bloomed in vivid colors among the rolling green fields. All kinds of violets (紫罗兰) nodded their heads in the breeze, as if trying to cheer him up. Yet Davy’s heart was too heavy to appreciate their beauty.
He walked across the fields, and sat down on a stone behind the old maple. A little bird on the highest branch sang just to make him laugh. But Davy did not notice it. He was thinking of the cruel words that had been said about his ragged (破烂的) clothes. Tears welled up in his eyes, and streamed down his cheeks.
Poor Davy had no father, and his mother had to work hard to keep him at school.
That evening, Davy took the path home that led across the fields and through the woods. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the flowering meadows. But Davy’s heart was still heavy, so he walked with his head bowed.
Davy did not wish to trouble his mother; so he lingered a while among the trees, and at last threw himself on the green moss (苔藓) under them. Just then, his teacher came along. She saw who it was, stopped, and then kindly asked,“What is the matter, Davy?”
He did not speak, but the tears began again to start. “Won’t you tell me? Perhaps I can help you.” she asked gently, kneeling beside him.
Then he told her all his trouble. When he ended, she said, cheerily, “I have a plan, Davy, that I think will help you.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

“Oh, what is it?” he said, sitting up with a look of hope, while a tear fell upon a blue violet.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So, day after day, Davy hunted in the woods for the prettiest flowers and mosses.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Oh, what is it?” he said, sitting up with a look of hope, while a tear fell upon a blue violet. The teacher smiled and pointed to the violets, saying, “These flowers are everywhere, Davy. Why not pick them and try selling?” She reminded Davy of the free beautiful flowers in their village and promised to teach him how to wrap them nicely. Excited by the idea that he could earn money by himself, David nodded eagerly. With a newfound sense of purpose, his heart began to lighten as he envisioned his flower-selling adventure as a little flower merchant.
So, day after day, Davy hunted in the woods for the prettiest flowers and mosses. Under the teacher’s guidance, he learned to carefully gather the violets and some mosses and wrap them in pretty paper, creating charming bouquets. Davy’s bouquets were really popular at the market, attracting lots of buyers. To his amazement, he soon earned enough money to buy new clothes. Dressed in the new clothes bought with his own earnings, Davy felt exceptionally good and he was no longer afraid of being mocked by other kids. Now the sunshine and the birds’ songs make him glad.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Davy没有父亲,依靠母亲努力工作供他上学,家境贫穷,受到人们嘲笑,老师想要帮助他,给他设定了一个计划——卖花赚钱,在老师的指导下,他学会了包装花束,最后用卖花的钱买了新衣服,再也不怕被其他孩子嘲笑了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
