If you have a cat in your home, it’s important to know some basic first aid principles. That way, you can not only be aware of the timing when your cat might need emergency medical care but also the best ways to save the feline (猫科的) animal.
If you see your cat in danger, it’s important that you remain calm and assess the situation. Check for whether your cat is breathing and has a heartbeat, and then evaluate any signs of illness or injury, so you can determine what type of first aid needs to be applied. You can learn about what normal basic vitals should be for your cat and how to check them here: Basic Vitals in Cats and How to Measure Them.
Once you’ve performed basic first aid, get to a vet as fast as possible. Program the numbers of your regular vet and the local pet clinic into your phone, so you can call once you are on your way. This will help the staff be as prepared as possible for your arrival so that they can jump into action quickly. You may need to take some special precautions while transporting your cat to the vet depending on what the emergency is. Learn more: Handling and Transporting a Sick or Injured Cat.
The best and most effective treatment for an emergency is, of course, prevention of its occurrence in the first place. We sincerely hope you never have to face an emergency situation with your cat. But being armed with as much knowledge as possible can help you handle it if it does happen.

In Chef Ana Manhao Sou’s mind, her restaurant, Belos Tempos, represents the home-cooked meals of Macao-born Portuguese.
Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s. Following her retirement in 2013, she started her culinary (烹饪) business by opening Belos Tempos. Located in Rua da Felicidade, one of Macao’s most historic and tourist-centric streets, the small two-story restaurant serves Portuguese and Macao food. The menus at the restaurant are written in English, Portuguese and Chinese. Sou is keen on creating Macao food and spreading the word about its traditional and cultural value. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young individuals how to cook all the dishes in her knowledge. She highlighted that a rich variety of spices is a notable characteristic. The culinary tradition embraces spices from India, Indonesia, and ingredients from other countries along the sea trade route, including curry, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and saffron.
Tacho is one of Sou’s signature dishes, representing the typical flavors of a Portuguese household in Macao. According to her, the term tacho in Portuguese translates to big plate. This dish holds special significance for Portuguese families in Macao during Christmas, as Sou explains, “While turkey might not grace our table, tacho is a must, enjoyed only once a year.” Tacho is a culinary mixture, combining diverse Chinese and Western ingredients. Sou emphasizes the individuality of each family’s tacho, with variations reflecting treasured, handed-down recipes. Common components include stewed chicken, pig’s trotters, cured duck legs, sausages, fried pig skin, and cabbage.
Sou believes that the current trend of traditional cuisine is promising, thanks to the support from the local government. As Sou mentioned, Macao was named a Creative City of Gastronomy (美食) by UNESCO in 2017. The local government has since introduced a comprehensive set of initiatives to enhance the preservation and inheritance of its cuisine. Together with other chefs, Sou has been making a sustained effort to help this historical record of the city to continue to shine.
4. What do we know about Belos Tempos?
A. It is co-managed by Sou and her parents.
B. It is located in the quietest street of Macao.
C. It features a variety of spices from Portugal.
D. It serves a mix of Eastern and Western foods.
5. How does Sou contribute to the culinary industry in Macao?
A. By preserving and promoting traditional cuisine.
B. By creating multi-lingual menus for restaurants.
C. By teaching people to cook typical Chinese food.
D. By improving her family-treasured recipe of Tacho.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Sou is optimistic about the future of Portuguese cuisine.
B. Macao has been a creative city of cuisine since its foundation.
C. The Macao government highly encourages traditional cuisine.
D. Chefs’ efforts have led to the city’s sustainable development.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. The Creation of Macao Food B. When Portugal Meets Macao
C. Sou’s Signature Dishes Shine D. Current Trends of Traditional Cuisine
C
In 2017, Ellic Highwood, the professor of climate physics at the University of Reading, posted a photograph on Twitter of a “global warming blanket” she had crocheted (用钩针编织), in which rows of colour represented average global temperature changes across time. She had no idea that a graphic version later created by a colleague would become a global symbol of climate change.She had no idea that a graphic version later created by a colleague would become a global symbol of climate change.
Unlike traditional data visualisations, the blanket’s pattern only features colors — and seems to be a barcode more than a normal graph. When Ed Hawkins, climate scientist and professor at the same university, saw the warming stripes and witnessed people’s reactions, he thought they would be a good way to visualise the data from climate change online. He reduced the range of colors to tones of blues and reds, universally associated in weather maps with temperature.
A year later, Hawkins tested the design at the Hay Festival in the UK. After a positive reception, he embarked on a mission to make the warming stripes widely accessible and launched a website. Within a week, the site had more than one million downloads from across 180 countries.
Meteorologist (气象学家) Bernadette Woods Placky first saw the stripes on Facebook in 2018. When a weather presenter printed the design on a tie to wear on TV, and asked if anybody else wanted to join, Bernadette saw an opportunity for the community to collaborate. They partnered with Hawkins, universities, the World Meteorological Organization, and others, and had a WhatsApp group with TV weather presenters from more than 100 countries.
The “warming stripes” image has been embraced by activists globally. The stripes have been worn in London Fashion Week catwalks and displayed on public transport in Europe, decorated buildings and even natural landmarks in England. Cycling 4 Climate, a foundation that has organized rides in six countries to promote climate change awareness, chose the stripe pattern as a uniform because of the strong message it conveys.
The warming stripes may not necessarily be the solution, but perhaps they represent a first step in recognizing the problem.
8. What can we know about the warming stripes?
A. They consist of a barcode and a normal graph.
B. They are a practical approach to global warming.
C. They reveal the causes of global climate changes.
D. They go global due to the work of Bernadette and Ed Hawkins.
9. What does the underlined word "collaborate" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cooperate. B. Resolve. C. Dominate. D. Interrupt.
10. What is the writer's attitude to the warming stripes?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Conserved.
11. What is the focus of the passage?
A. A visual reminder of global warming.
B. A common phenomenon of climate crisis.
C. A realistic project plan for settling climate issues.
D. A comprehensive initiative of environment conservation.
D
Slow travel mainly refers to the speed of which a trip is taken, where travelers take a train through Europe instead of flying, for example. However, it also has a broader meaning of tourists staying in destinations for longer, emphasizing a connection with local people, culture, food and music. This means that slow travel is also more sustainable for local communities and the environment.
Johanna Bonhill-Smith, Travel & Tourism Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Various consumer trends already suggest that slow travel could take off soon. A trip longer than ten nights is more highly desired(22%)than a day visit(10%)or short break away from one to three nights(14%)according to a live poll from GlobalData.”
There is also a larger remote workforce across the globe. Over 70% of global respondents chooe to work remotely full time or have a mixture of both remote and office work in another GlobalData poll. Many offices are likely to be more flexible regarding working hours and the location of an employee, meaning combining work and leisure will be easier for employees.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of consumers’ decisions. “Supporting social causes” was identified as a key driver in product purchases for 25% of global respondents in GlobalData’s Q1 2021 consumer survey and for 45% this was “nice to have”. Preference for products can reflect on service trends and this identifies that consumers may feel more inclined to support local communities, which is a gap that ‘slow travel’ can fill.
Bonhill-Smith adds: “Slow travel is sure to make its mark in travel. This trend reflects consumers’ growing desire for more experiential forms of travel, going above and beyond the hordes(成群) of tourists gathered for sun, sea and sand. Its potential growth could further rival the concept of mass tourism and the all-inclusive package holiday concept in travel’s new trend. ”
12. Which can be a proper example of slow travel?
A. To take a direct flight to England from France.
B. To spend one day in London and tasted food there.
C. To live in a local house for an 8-day stay in Italy.
D. To attend a music festival in Spain and return in a day.
13. How does Bonhill-Smith know slow travel could take off?
A. By conducting an on-site research.
B. By interviewing the global respondents online.
C. By analyzing comprehensive data from a live poll.
D. By predicting the consumer trends according to his experience.
14. What features heavily in consumer decisions?
A. Satisfying one's personal desire for products.
B. Pursuing sustainability in support of social causes.
C. Seeking flexibility in shopping time and expectations.
D. Declining to form an association with local communities.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Experiential travel closely relates to tourists' cultural competence.
B. The top beach destinations are appealing to groups of tourists.
C. All-inclusive package holiday is popular nowadays.
D. Slower travel could be the next big tourism trend.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ways to Build New Habits and Make Them Stick
Good habits make all the difference in life. ___16___ That is, you put the behavior that will allow you to achieve your goals on automatic pilot.
Start Tiny
Most of us get really ambitious when it comes to creating new habits. For example, a lot of people who haven’t exercised in years decide that they’re going to start walking on the treadmill (跑步机) for forty minutes, five days a week. ___17___ A much better strategy is to set the bar so low that you practically climb over it. Make the decision to start walking on the treadmill for one minute a day. After a while you can raise the bar to two minutes a day, then three minutes, then four, and so on.
___18___
Almost everyone wants to adopt healthy eating habits. However, “healthy eating habits” is so general and ambiguous, that it’s unlikely to result in any concrete action being taken. Instead, you can decide that you’re going to buy whole-grain bread. The more specific you are as to what you’re going to do, the more likely it is that you’ll do it. ___19___
Reduce Barriers
Sometimes there’s an action that we want to start taking on a regular basis. ___20___ For example, you want to start riding your bike every morning in order to lose a few pounds. However, you store your bike in the garage and in order to get to it you have to move a few boxes out of the way. Having to move those boxes is a barrier. Even if it doesn’t take more than one or two minutes to get your bike out from behind the boxes, that’s enough of a barrier to reduce the likelihood that you’ll go out for a bike ride. Therefore, you need to find a way to make your bike as easy to reach as possible.
A. Be specific
B Reward yourself
C. And the more often you do it, the more likely it is to turn into a habit.
D. However, this is setting the bar so high that failure is almost guaranteed.
E. But when we think of taking the action, one or more barriers get in the way.
F. You may have tried and failed several times in the past to create good habits.
G. When you’ve created good habits, you do the right things without even having to think about it.

“Our work always begins with a series of conversations with kids about what they want from this space,” said Pooja. The children usually want ___29___ that are familiar to them. In one girls' school in Bangalore, the children wanted their play space to be ____30____ into a boxing ring. Though the teachers seemed ____31____, the girls remained clear on their vision. They wanted to ____32____ self-defense, to grow stronger, and have a space where they could get physical and work off ____33____ .
“We often forget how vulnerable (脆弱的) these growing years can be,” Pooja said. “The right to play should be considered critical to a child's cognitive ____34____, physical and emotional well-being — we believe that it is indeed a(n) ____35____ human right.”

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。
It was the beginning of a new year, and I was in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
There was a speech competition three months later. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs. Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Strangely though, on the day her decision was to be announced to us, she proclaimed,“Jane shall be the one who will join the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. “You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs. Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice.
The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs. Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and grinned at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?”Instantly, my throat went dry. Butterflies fluttered around in my stomach, crashing against my stomach walls and making me feel sick.
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. However, I stumbled a little and panicked, unable to go on. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment.
After school, Mrs. Lee called me to her office, where she gave me a few pointers on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my utterly bad pronunciation was “cured”. It was with much patience that Mrs. Lee worked through those three months with me, ensuring that my words were crisp and clear and teaching me how to put expressions into my sentences.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Finally, the day of my competition arrived.

A
If you have a cat in your home, it’s important to know some basic first aid principles. That way, you can not only be aware of the timing when your cat might need emergency medical care but also the best ways to save the feline (猫科的) animal.
If you see your cat in danger, it’s important that you remain calm and assess the situation. Check for whether your cat is breathing and has a heartbeat, and then evaluate any signs of illness or injury, so you can determine what type of first aid needs to be applied. You can learn about what normal basic vitals should be for your cat and how to check them here: Basic Vitals in Cats and How to Measure Them.
Once you’ve performed basic first aid, get to a vet as fast as possible. Program the numbers of your regular vet and the local pet clinic into your phone, so you can call once you are on your way. This will help the staff be as prepared as possible for your arrival so that they can jump into action quickly. You may need to take some special precautions while transporting your cat to the vet depending on what the emergency is. Learn more: Handling and Transporting a Sick or Injured Cat.
The best and most effective treatment for an emergency is, of course, prevention of its occurrence in the first place. We sincerely hope you never have to face an emergency situation with your cat. But being armed with as much knowledge as possible can help you handle it if it does happen.

In Chef Ana Manhao Sou’s mind, her restaurant, Belos Tempos, represents the home-cooked meals of Macao-born Portuguese.
Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s. Following her retirement in 2013, she started her culinary (烹饪的) business by opening Belos Tempos. Located in Rua da Felicidade, one of Macao’s most historic and tourist-centric streets, the small two-story restaurant serves Portuguese and Macao food. The menus at the restaurant are written in English, Portuguese and Chinese. Sou is keen on creating Macao food and spreading the word about its traditional and cultural value. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young individuals how to cook all the dishes in her knowledge. She highlighted that a rich variety of spices is a notable characteristic. The culinary tradition embraces spices from India, Indonesia, and ingredients from other countries along the sea trade route, including curry, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and saffron.
Tacho is one of Sou’s signature dishes, representing the typical flavors of a Portuguese household in Macao. According to her, the term tacho in Portuguese translates to big plate. This dish holds special significance for Portuguese families in Macao during Christmas, as Sou explains, “While turkey might not grace our table, tacho is a must, enjoyed only once a year.” Tacho is a culinary mixture, combining diverse Chinese and Western ingredients. Sou emphasizes the individuality of each family’s tacho, with variations reflecting treasured, handed-down recipes. Common components include stewed chicken, pig’s trotters, cured duck legs, sausages, fried pig skin, and cabbage.
Sou believes that the current trend of traditional cuisine is promising, thanks to the support from the local government. As Sou mentioned, Macao was named a Creative City of Gastronomy (美食) by UNESCO in 2017. The local government has since introduced a comprehensive set of initiatives to enhance the preservation and inheritance of its cuisine. Together with other chefs, Sou has been making a sustained effort to help this historical record of the city to continue to shine.

In 2017, Ellic Highwood, the professor of climate physics at the University of Reading, posted a photograph on Twitter of a “global warming blanket” she had crocheted (用钩针编织), in which rows of colour represented average global temperature changes across time. She had no idea that a graphic version later created by a colleague would become a global symbol of climate change.She had no idea that a graphic version later created by a colleague would become a global symbol of climate change.
Unlike traditional data visualisations, the blanket’s pattern only features colors — and seems to be a barcode more than a normal graph. When Ed Hawkins, climate scientist and professor at the same university, saw the warming stripes and witnessed people’s reactions, he thought they would be a good way to visualise the data from climate change online. He reduced the range of colors to tones of blues and reds, universally associated in weather maps with temperature.
A year later, Hawkins tested the design at the Hay Festival in the UK. After a positive reception, he embarked on a mission to make the warming stripes widely accessible and launched a website. Within a week, the site had more than one million downloads from across 180 countries.
Meteorologist (气象学家) Bernadette Woods Placky first saw the stripes on Facebook in 2018. When a weather presenter printed the design on a tie to wear on TV, and asked if anybody else wanted to join, Bernadette saw an opportunity for the community to collaborate. They partnered with Hawkins, universities, the World Meteorological Organization, and others, and had a WhatsApp group with TV weather presenters from more than 100 countries.
The “warming stripes” image has been embraced by activists globally. The stripes have been worn in London Fashion Week catwalks and displayed on public transport in Europe, decorated buildings and even natural landmarks in England. Cycling 4 Climate, a foundation that has organized rides in six countries to promote climate change awareness, chose the stripe pattern as a uniform because of the strong message it conveys.
The warming stripes may not necessarily be the solution, but perhaps they represent a first step in recognizing the problem.
8. What can we know about the warming stripes?
A. They consist of a barcode and a normal graph.
B. They are a practical approach to global warming.
C. They reveal the causes of global climate changes.
D. They go global due to the work of Bernadette and Ed Hawkins.
9. What does the underlined word "collaborate" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cooperate. B. Resolve. C. Dominate. D. Interrupt.
10. What is the writer's attitude to the warming stripes?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Conserved.
11. What is the focus of the passage?
A. A visual reminder of global warming.
B. A common phenomenon of climate crisis.
C. A realistic project plan for settling climate issues.
D. A comprehensive initiative of environment conservation.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After a positive reception, he embarked on a mission to make the warming stripes widely accessible and launched a website. Within a week, the site had more than one million downloads from across 180 countries.(在受到积极欢迎后,他开始了一个任务,让这一变暖条纹能广泛地被访问,并推出了一个网站。在一周之内,这一网站在180多个国家中有100多万的下载量。)”可知,这一变暖条纹在一周内有100多万的下载量,故因为Bernadette和Hawkins,变暖条纹被全球所知,故选D。

Slow travel mainly refers to the speed of which a trip is taken, where travelers take a train through Europe instead of flying, for example. However, it also has a broader meaning of tourists staying in destinations for longer, emphasizing a connection with local people, culture, food and music. This means that slow travel is also more sustainable for local communities and the environment.
Johanna Bonhill-Smith, Travel & Tourism Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Various consumer trends already suggest that slow travel could take off soon. A trip longer than ten nights is more highly desired(22%)than a day visit(10%)or short break away from one to three nights(14%)according to a live poll from GlobalData.”
There is also a larger remote workforce across the globe. Over 70% of global respondents chooe to work remotely full time or have a mixture of both remote and office work in another GlobalData poll. Many offices are likely to be more flexible regarding working hours and the location of an employee, meaning combining work and leisure will be easier for employees.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of consumers’ decisions. “Supporting social causes” was identified as a key driver in product purchases for 25% of global respondents in GlobalData’s Q1 2021 consumer survey and for 45% this was “nice to have”. Preference for products can reflect on service trends and this identifies that consumers may feel more inclined to support local communities, which is a gap that ‘slow travel’ can fill.
Bonhill-Smith adds: “Slow travel is sure to make its mark in travel. This trend reflects consumers’ growing desire for more experiential forms of travel, going above and beyond the hordes(成群) of tourists gathered for sun, sea and sand. Its potential growth could further rival the concept of mass tourism and the all-inclusive package holiday concept in travel’s new trend. ”
12. Which can be a proper example of slow travel?
A. To take a direct flight to England from France.
B. To spend one day in London and tasted food there.
C. To live in a local house for an 8-day stay in Italy.
D. To attend a music festival in Spain and return in a day.
13. How does Bonhill-Smith know slow travel could take off?
A. By conducting an on-site research.
B. By interviewing the global respondents online.
C. By analyzing comprehensive data from a live poll.
D. By predicting the consumer trends according to his experience.
14. What features heavily in consumer decisions?
A. Satisfying one's personal desire for products.
B. Pursuing sustainability in support of social causes.
C. Seeking flexibility in shopping time and expectations.
D Declining to form an association with local communities.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Experiential travel closely relates to tourists' cultural competence.
B. The top beach destinations are appealing to groups of tourists.
C. All-inclusive package holiday is popular nowadays.
D. Slower travel could be the next big tourism trend.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的旅行方式——慢旅行。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Slow travel mainly refers to the speed of which a trip is taken, where travelers take a train through Europe instead of flying, for example. However, it also has a broader meaning of tourists staying in destinations for longer, emphasizing a connection with local people, culture, food and music.(慢旅行主要指旅行的速度,例如,旅行者乘坐火车而不是飞机穿越欧洲。然而,它也有着更广泛的含义,即游客在目的地停留的时间更长,强调与当地人、文化、食物和音乐的联系。)”可知,慢旅行指乘坐火车旅行或者是在目的地待的时间更长,故C项“在意大利的一个当地人家里住8天”是慢旅行的一个例子,时间待得更长,住在当地人家里,与当地人、文化和食物产生联系,是故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Johanna Bonhill-Smith, Travel & Tourism Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Various consumer trends already suggest that slow travel could take off soon. A trip longer than ten nights is more highly desired(22%)than a day visit(10%)or short break away from one to three nights(14%)according to a live poll from GlobalData.”(GlobalData的旅游分析师Johanna Bonhill-Smith评论到:“各种消费者趋势已经表明,慢旅行可能很快就会兴起。根据的GlobalData实时民意调查显示,22%的调查者更喜欢超过10天的旅行,10%的调查者选择1天的旅行,而14%的调查者更喜欢一晚到三晚的短暂休息。”)”可知,Bonhill-Smith是通过民意调查的数据分析得出的慢旅行会兴起的结论,故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Sustainability is also at the forefront of consumers’ decisions. “Supporting social causes” was identified as a key driver in product purchases for 25% of global respondents in GlobalData’s Q1 2021 consumer survey and for 45% this was “nice to have”(可持续性也是消费者决策的核心。在2021年第一季度的消费者调查中,25%的全球受访者认为‘支持社会事业’是产品购买的关键驱动力,45%的受访者认为这是‘很好的’。)”可知,在消费者的决策中,可持续性是关键,且“支持社会事业”是产品购买的关键驱动力,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Bonhill-Smith adds: “Slow travel is sure to make its mark in travel. This trend reflects consumers’ growing desire for more experiential forms of travel, going above and beyond the hordes(成群) of tourists gathered for sun, sea and sand.( Bonhill-Smith补充道:“慢旅行肯定会在旅行中崭露头角。这一趋势反映了消费者对更具体验的旅行形式的日益渴望,而不是成群结队地聚在阳光下、大海和沙滩上。”)”可知,Bonhill-Smith认为慢旅行肯定会在旅行中崭露头角,成为趋势,故暗示了慢旅行可能是下一个重要的旅游趋势,故选D。

Ways to Build New Habits and Make Them Stick
Good habits make all the difference in life. ___16___ That is, you put the behavior that will allow you to achieve your goals on automatic pilot.
Start Tiny
Most of us get really ambitious when it comes to creating new habits. For example, a lot of people who haven’t exercised in years decide that they’re going to start walking on the treadmill (跑步机) for forty minutes, five days a week. ___17___ A much better strategy is to set the bar so low that you practically climb over it. Make the decision to start walking on the treadmill for one minute a day. After a while you can raise the bar to two minutes a day, then three minutes, then four, and so on.
___18___
Almost everyone wants to adopt healthy eating habits. However, “healthy eating habits” is so general and ambiguous, that it’s unlikely to result in any concrete action being taken. Instead, you can decide that you’re going to buy whole-grain bread. The more specific you are as to what you’re going to do, the more likely it is that you’ll do it. ___19___
Reduce Barriers
Sometimes there’s an action that we want to start taking on a regular basis. ___20___ For example, you want to start riding your bike every morning in order to lose a few pounds. However, you store your bike in the garage and in order to get to it you have to move a few boxes out of the way. Having to move those boxes is a barrier. Even if it doesn’t take more than one or two minutes to get your bike out from behind the boxes, that’s enough of a barrier to reduce the likelihood that you’ll go out for a bike ride. Therefore, you need to find a way to make your bike as easy to reach as possible.
A. Be specific
B. Reward yourself
C. And the more often you do it, the more likely it is to turn into a habit.
D. However, this is setting the bar so high that failure is almost guaranteed.
E. But when we think of taking the action, one or more barriers get in the way.
F. You may have tried and failed several times in the past to create good habits.
G. When you’ve created good habits, you do the right things without even having to think about it.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. E
【解析】

When you’ve created good habits, you do the right things without even having to think about it.(当你养成了好习惯,你甚至不用思考就能做正确的事情)具体描述了好习惯在生活中起到的作用;下一句“That is, you put the behavior that will allow you to achieve your goals on automatic pilot.”(也就是说,你把能让你实现目标的行为置于自动驾驶状态)用另一种方式解释了选项G所表达的不用思考就能做正确事情这层含义;故选项G承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上一句“For example, a lot of people who haven’t exercised in years decide that they’re going to start walking on the treadmill (跑步机) for forty minutes, five days a week. (例如,许多多年没有锻炼的人决定开始在跑步机上走40分钟,每周五天)”和本段主题句“Start Tiny(从小处开始)”可知,这种锻炼方式对于多年没有锻炼的人来说并不合适,选项D. However, this is setting the bar so high that failure is almost guaranteed.(然而,这设置的门槛如此之高,以至于失败几乎是必然的)表达了这层含义,与上一句形成转折关系,语意衔接合理;下一句“A much better strategy is to set the bar so low that you practically climb over it. (一个更好的策略是把标准定得很低,这样你就能越过它)”中的“low”和选项D中的“high”形成对比,提出了更好的方法,符合段落主题。故选D。
【18题详解】
空处为第三段段落主题句,参考其他段落主题句,应用祈使句;根据该段“The more specific you are as to what you’re going to do, the more likely it is that you’ll do it. (你对你要做的事情越明确具体,你就越有可能去做)”和全段内容可知,该段主要提出了应该将自己要做的事情明确化、具体化,不能太过笼统模糊;选项A. Be specific(明确具体)概括总结了该段内容,符合段落主题。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上一句“The more specific you are as to what you’re going to do, the more likely it is that you’ll do it. (你对你要做的事情越明确具体,你就越有可能去做)”可知,选项C. And the more often you do it, the more likely it is to turn into a habit.(你做得越频繁,就越有可能变成一种习惯)进一步说明了你越可能做,就会做得越频繁,就越有可能变成习惯,与上一句形成并列递进关系,语意衔接,符合文章主题。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上一句“Sometimes there’s an action that we want to start taking on a regular basis. (有时,我们想要开始定期采取一项行动)”可知,选项E. But when we think of taking the action, one or more barriers get in the way.(但当我们考虑采取行动时,一个或多个障碍会阻碍我们)中的“the action”与上一句中的“an action”相对应,与上一句形成转折关系,引出主题句“Reduce Barriers”中的关键词“barriers”;下文“For example, you want to start riding your bike every morning in order to lose a few pounds. However, you store your bike in the garage and in order to get to it you have to move a few boxes out of the way. (例如,你想开始每天早上骑自行车,为了减掉几磅。然而,你把自行车存放在车库里,为了拿到它,你必须把几个箱子挪开)”举例说明了选项E,有时我们想要定期开始一项行动,但是会遇到一些障碍的阻碍这一现象;故选项E承上启下,符合语境。故选E。

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。
It was the beginning of a new year, and I was in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
There was a speech competition three months later. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs. Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Strangely though, on the day her decision was to be announced to us, she proclaimed,“Jane shall be the one who will join the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. “You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs. Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice.
The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs. Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and grinned at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?”Instantly, my throat went dry. Butterflies fluttered around in my stomach, crashing against my stomach walls and making me feel sick.
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. However, I stumbled a little and panicked, unable to go on. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment.
After school, Mrs. Lee called me to her office, where she gave me a few pointers on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my utterly bad pronunciation was “cured”. It was with much patience that Mrs. Lee worked through those three months with me, ensuring that my words were crisp and clear and teaching me how to put expressions into my sentences.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally, the day of my competition arrived. Standing on the stage and feeling all the eyes focused on me, I felt my heart beat violently. When I began my speech with a slightly trembling but loud voice, the audience went silent and everyone was listening carefully to my speech, which gave me great encouragement. Gradually, I immersed myself in the speech entirely without any fear or worry. My pronunciation was beautiful and perfect and my words were crisp and clear. As the audience broke into thunderous applause, I learned that I ended up with a wonderful speech.
When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion. Hearing that, I was too excited to speak, bursting into tears. I ran to Mrs. Lee and hugged her tightly, saying to her, “Thanks so much! Without your help, I couldn’t have made it!” Mr. Lee patted me gently and praised in the sweetest voice, “You did a wonderful job! You got over all the difficulties! I was proud of you!” Many years later, I became a teacher, hoping that I could help my students to achieve their goals with my wisdom and words like what Mrs. Lee had done for me.
