The last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the U.S.A. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion(团聚). Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.
Thanksgiving Day began in 1621, when the first English settlers(定居者) reached the New World. They did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm.
In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest(收获). They were so pleased. They decided toinvitetheir Indian friends to dinner in order to thank them for their help.

Today is December 15, 2031. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.
The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began. Therefore, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It’s very reasonable.
Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household, so the suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip.
However, the space lines might in the future face fierce (激烈的) competition with the appearance of space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines.
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first.
6. From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2032?
A. A gift card will be taken to Mars. B. Mars will be explored for the first time.
C. Man will go to Mars for the first time. D. An affordable space trip will come true.
7. The underlined word “average” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 普通的 B. 高收入的 C. 低成本的 D. 低收入的

A. To ship cargo to space.
B. To get in the competition between space lines.
C. To start the construction of more space elevators.
D. To get back the large investment.
9. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.
B. A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.
C. The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time.
D. Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still have to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out.
10. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip began

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless (无价的).
We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要论述了时间的重要性,并以此来告诉大家要珍惜时间。
【51题详解】
根据第一段“I have to say that future is now.”可知,文章阐述的第一个观点是“未来就是现在”;future“未来”,结合“Be masters of today”和“Time is...”,此处首字母大写。故填Future。
【52题详解】
根据第一段“we should know how important time is and use it well”可知,我们应该知道时间的重要性;结合“the...of time”,此处应填写important的名词形式importance“重要性”,表达整体抽象概念时用作不可数名词。故填importance。
【53题详解】
根据第二段“some of us even say time is priceless”可知,文章阐述的第二个观点是“时间是无价的”;priceless“无价的”,形容词作表语。故填priceless。
【54题详解】
根据“But if time is gone away, it will never return.”可知,时间一去不复返,所以设空处可意为“过去的时间”或“丢失的时间”,其英文表达为past/lost/missing,形容词作定语。故填past/lost/missing。
【55题详解】
根据“Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.”可知,今天的辛勤劳作会带来明天的收获,harvest“收获”。故填harvest。

The last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the U.S.A. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion(团聚). Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.
Thanksgiving Day began in 1621, when the first English settlers(定居者) reached the New World. They did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm.
In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest(收获). They were so pleased. They decided toinvitetheir Indian friends to dinner in order to thank them for their help.
As far as family reunion, Thanksgiving Day is even more important than Christmas or New Year's Eve to most Americans.
1. If November 1 is Monday, when is Thanksgiving Day?
A. November 4. B. November 18. C. November 25. D. November 2.
2. Which of the following is true?
A. The whole family get together for a big dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
B. All the Americans do not work on Thanksgiving Day.
C. Americans still work on Saturdays and Sundays.
D. Thanksgiving Day began in the sixteenth century.

C. taught American Indians how to farm D. had a lot of things to eat
4. The word “invite” means.

Today is December 15, 2031. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.
The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began. Therefore, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It’s very reasonable.
Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household, so the suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip.
However, the space lines might in the future face fierce (激烈) competition with the appearance of space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines.
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first.
6. From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2032?
A. A gift card will be taken to Mars. B. Mars will be explored for the first time.
C. Man will go to Mars for the first time. D. An affordable space trip will come true.
7. The underlined word “average” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 普通的 B. 高收入的 C. 低成本的 D. 低收入的
8. What is the space elevators purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible?
A. To ship cargo to space.
B. To get in the competition between space lines.
C. To start the construction of more space elevators.
D. To get back the large investment.
9. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.
B. A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.
C. The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time.
D. Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still have to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out.
10. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip began
B. within two years, space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to space
C. during the suborbital flights, you will experience 30 minutes’ weightlessness
D. if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you may try a suborbital flight
Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary (秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.
11. The writer always refuses to give people directions because _______.
A. she is a stranger to the city
B. she doesn’t know the people
C. she has no time to help others
D. she’s afraid of giving wrong directions
12. A man stopped the writer on the way to ________.
A. sell her something B. ask her the time
C. make friends with her D. ask for the direction
13. The Friendship Building is the place where the writer _________.
A. lives B. studies C. works D. teaches
14. The word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means “_________”.
A. 尴尬 B. 困惑 C. 激动 D. 拮据
15 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer is too shy to give others directions.
B. The writer has a very poor sense of direction.
C. The writer never got lost when she was young.
D. The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.
Note taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your school work. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.
★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.
★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.
★Organize. Notetaking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.
★Good notetaking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.
16. There are ________ main points about notetaking in this passage.
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7
17. What should you write down in your notebook in class?
A. Every word. B. Lots of dates.

20. Which can be the best title for this passage?
