I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees, and how words might fill my life blanks. Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain. Then graduation came. After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold, I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college. With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience, I got admitted. I published my first piece in the student literary magazine. I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married. My poems got published often, and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well. I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks. I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood. My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do: writing poems. I dug out the notebooks, edited and re-edited. Dusty drafts changed with time into poems. It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems, I was a poet and life itself was poetry. So why do I write poems? Because I have to. It’s the first light of my day, my lifeline, and I won’t let it go. 24 ．How did the author view writing at the beginning? ( B ． It helped her through painful time. D ． It guided her to defeat nervousness. )A ．It earned her a great reputation. C ．It promoted her language learning. 25 ．What made the author quit her editor job? A ．The poor publication market. B ．The disapproval of her family. C ．The expectation to increase income. D ．The imbalance between work and life. 26 ．What has the author learned from poetry? A ．Poetry mirrors life. B ．Time heals all wounds. C ．Fortune prefers the creative. D ．Polishing makes a good poem. 27 ．Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A ．Growing Love: Stimulating Life Choice, B ．Lifelong Dawn: My Poetry Writing Journey C ．Reaching Dreams: From Housewife to Poet D ．Dramatic Change: Writing in Retiring Years C It’s common nowadays for people to schedule a fitness plan. Whatever the drive behind it, whether health-related, performance-related or just plain vainglory (虚荣心), it is not uncommon for people to take regular exercise. But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, many people make use of a PT — that’s a personal trainer. This might be because they’re wet behind the ears or maybe they just don’t want the trouble of designing their own workout plan. APT will create a plan based on the aim of an individual. They will tailor it to your current abilities and, better still, they will teach you how to move in a proper way. However, the trade-off with a PT is the price. Each hourly session can be steep considering the double whammy of having to pay both the PT and membership of the gym. If you are at all strapped for cash then regular sessions might be out of your budget. So what’s left? Well, if you have the grit for it, you can make your own plan. It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. But before you do, here are some basic pointers. First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down, bulk up, or get shredded? Whatever it is, make sure you choose to be in pursuit of that goal. Next, do your research. Social media is full of fitness videos and advice. Watch as many as possible, but make sure to be critical of them — everyone has a different body. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. Be patient with yourself and set realistic goals — it takes at least three months to see realistic body changes. A good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. Pain means you are damaging yourself. 28. What drives people to go to the gym? A ．To keep a fit figure. B ．To make friends. C ．To avoid vainglory. D ．To become a celebrity. 29. What kind of person would choose a PT? A ．A student short of budget. B ．A busy workaholic. C ．A green hand in exercise. D ．A professional athlete. 30. What should be paid attention to while making our own fitness plan? A ．Bear in mind our fitness goals. B ．Be a member of the gym. C ．Set a training timeline. D ．Watch latest fitness videos. 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 31. What’s the text about? A ．The necessity of exercise. B ．How to make a fitness plan. C ．The practical skills of workout. D ．How to be a personal trainer. D When working outside, there’s a constant battle of wearing a hat to get shade over your face, but then having a sweaty head whenever your hat is on. With the evolving technology, hats have stepped forward as well. Now, there is a brilliant new invention to take care of this problem. It’s called the Kool Breeze Solar Hat. It’s a solar-powered straw hat that has an integrated fan right on the front, which blows fresh air inside the hat right onto the top of your head.

Since it’s completely solar-powered using a solar panel (太阳能板) right on the top of the hat, there is no need for batteries, but the fan will only run while in direct sunlight. If you are outside or sweating a lot in hot weather, it’s a perfect piece of head wear to use. Whether you are working on the yard, fishing on the boat, or kayaking, it provides great sun protection and allows you to enjoy outdoor activities. It has become the best-seller on many websites where customers have a larger selection of sizes and designs. The solar-powered fan straw hat comes in 4 different sizes to accommodate most sized heads, from small to extra-large. Here are some highly praised comments from users: “The solar-powered straw hat is truly outstanding.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm , my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn’t heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue （队列） still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. " We made it ," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet . I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message :“Out of order. Sorry.” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. Paragraph 2: Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. _____________________________________________________________________________________ $$
