Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields, learning the art of organic farming. After moving to the city, she began missing the farm. Faced with the limited space, Padma felt the absence of fresh vegetables. Besides, she was disappointed with the taste and quality of shop-bought vegetables. Because chemicals used on vegetables were harmful to human health, she finally decided to take matters into her own hands and change her yard into a vegetable garden. Now 48, Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers (肥料). Additionally, she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish. Her husband Suresh Ettan, who is now working in an oil and gas company, said, “As I don’t eat meat, I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning, my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that, she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest. I take pride in showing those photos to my colleagues.” For Padma, the garden has become a source of joy and also a link to her rural roots. Padma says she finds connection to her village through the traditional recipes and taste of homegrown vegetables. More importantly, by growing her own food, the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn’t expect. Padma says she has a small shop where she sells extra vegetables. Within an hour, all her vegetables are sold out. This organic farming business earns her up to Rs 1,000. 24. When did Padma develop her love for organic farming? A. After she moved to the city. B. When she helped on the farm. C. After she graduated from school. D. When she lacked fresh vegetables. 25. Which words can best describe Padma? A. Warm-hearted and confident. B. Generous and gifted. C. Creative and hard-working. D. Responsible and organized. 26. How does Suresh Ettan feel about his wife’s farm? A. The farm makes his life busy. B. The farm offers him rich food. C. The farm costs lots of his money. D. The farm prevents him eating meat. 27. What unexpected benefit has been brought to Padma? A. Some additional income. B. Good neighbour relationship. C. Fresh vegetables for her family. D. A connection with her hometown. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Padma Suresh从小热爱有机农业，搬到城市后对农场生活充满怀念，于是将自家院子改造成菜园，不仅为家人提供有机蔬菜，还意外获得了额外收入的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Raised on the farm, Padma Suresh had a love for agriculture just like her father. Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields, learning the art of organic farming.(Padma Suresh在农场长大，和她父亲一样热爱农业。年轻的Padma会在放学后的大部分晚上在田野里度过，学习有机农业的艺术)”可知，Padma在农场帮忙时就培养了对有机农业的热爱。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段提到“Now 48, Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers. Additionally, she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish.(现年48岁的Padma在过去的12年里一直致力于开发一个拥有200株20种蔬菜的花园。她依靠天然肥料。此外，她还使用创造性的有机耕作方法，如用鱼制作液体肥料)”可知，Padma不仅勤奋地经营着自己的菜园，还有创造力地运用各种有机耕作方法。由此可知，最能描述Padma的词语是有创造力的和勤奋的。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“As I don’t eat meat, I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning, my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that, she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest.(因为我不吃肉，所以我在城市里的食物选择很有限。现在每天早上，我妻子都会给我送一顿丰盛的早餐。除此之外，她还会分享她当天收获的照片)”可推知，Suresh Ettan认为他妻子的农场为他提供了丰富的食物。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“More importantly, by growing her own food, the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn’t expect.(更重要的是，通过自己种植食物，这位园丁不仅找到了一种为家人提供有机蔬菜的方法，而且还找到了一种赚钱的方法。赚钱是她没有预料到的)”可知，Padma获得的意想不到的好处是一些额外的收入。故选A。 C Researchers think they’ve observed “dark oxygen” being created on the Pacific Ocean floor, potentially challenging commonly held ideas about how oxygen appeared on Earth. Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis (光合作用), a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that theory and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. The scientists aren’t certain how oxygen is created at such dark depths, but they believe it’s being produced by electrically charged minerals called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). These nodules — “effective batteries in a rock”, professor Sweetman said— may use their electric charge to separate hydrogen (氢气) and oxygen from seawater. “The traditional view is that oxygen was first produced around three billion years ago and there was a gradual development of complex life after that,” said Sweetman. “The potential that there was another source requires us to have a rethink.” Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected nodules to test above ground, and they got the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the nodules. Franz Geiger, a professor who worked on the study, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean to meet global energy demands for decades. But he also said that mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not affect life forms in that part of the ocean. Companies conducted exploratory missions for deep-sea mining in the 1970s and 1980s, Geiger said, and recent research suggests that those missions may have had effects on sea life in the area for decades. “A few years ago, a team of scientists went back to those areas that were mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, there are plenty of life.” 28. What was challenged according to the passage? A. The way oxygen is produced. B. The theory of photosynthesis. C. The process of life development. D. The belief that oxygen is crucial. 29. What conclusion did the researchers draw from their tests? A. Sunlight is necessary in creating oxygen. B. Seafloor is the best place to store oxygen. C. Seawater is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. D. Polymetallic nodules may be the source of oxygen. 30. What might Geiger think of the deep-sea mining? A. It should be forbidden. B. It is not worth doing it. C. It is beneficial to the sea life. D. It should be handled properly. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The life on the seafloor. B. Dark oxygen was found. C. The secret of photosynthesis. D. Polymetallic nodules matter. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了科学家们在海洋中发现的不通过光合作用而形成的氧气——“暗氧”。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Researchers think they’ve observed ‘dark oxygen’ being created on the Pacific Ocean floor, potentially challenging commonly held ideas about how oxygen appeared on Earth.(研究人员认为，他们观察到太平洋海底正在产生‘暗氧’，这可能挑战了关于氧气如何在地球上出现的普遍观点。)”可知，观察到太平洋海底正在产生“暗氧”，这可能会挑战人们对地球上氧气产生方式的普遍看法。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The scientists aren’t certain how oxygen is created at such dark depths, but they believe it’s being produced by electrically charged minerals called polymetallic nodules.(科学家们不确定在如此黑暗的深处氧气是如何产生的，但他们相信它是由一种叫做多金属结核的带电矿物产生的。)”和第五段“Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected nodules to test above ground, and they got the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the nodules.(研究人员在海底进行了测试，并收集了结核进行地面测试，他们得到了相同的结果：结核附近的氧气水平增加了。)”可知，研究人员从测试中得出的结论是多金属结核可能是氧气的来源。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Franz Geiger, a professor who worked on the study, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean to meet global energy demands for decades. But he also said that mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not affect life forms in that part of the ocean(参与该研究的教授弗兰兹·盖格表示，太平洋中的多金属结核可能足以满足全球数十年的能源需求。但他也指出，开采作业必须以不影响该海域生物的方式进行。)”可推知，盖格认为深海采矿应该被妥善处理。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“Researchers think they’ve observed ‘dark oxygen’ being created on the Pacific Ocean floor, potentially challenging commonly held ideas about how oxygen appeared on Earth.(研究人员认为，他们已观测到太平洋海底正在生成“暗氧”，这可能挑战了关于地球上氧气来源的普遍认知。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究人员观察到太平洋海底正在产生“暗氧”，所以文章的主旨大意是发现了暗氧。故选B。 D In a new study conducted by Ohio State University, researchers set out to explain why children often gather more information than they need to complete a task, exploring new ways to solve it even when they know the best solution and have done in many times before. Vladimir Sloutsky, co-author of the study, originally thought this might be because children’s brains aren’t fledged enough to understand the task or pay proper attention, or because they are easily distracted and lack the control to focus. But, to their surprise, the researchers found that the most likely explanation for this “over- exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children. Therefore, while adults can easily remember the best way to complete a task, children are forced to question their often correct memories and re-explore tasks they’ve done before. Simply, children don’t hold information they need to complete a task in their memory for very long, the study suggests. Speaking about one of the tasks children were asked to complete in the study, where they were asked to identify an animal by uncovering parts of a hidden picture of them, Sloutsky explained that even though it became obvious after a few tries that the tail was the easiest and quickest part to uncover in order to identify the animal, the kids “just kept uncovering more body parts before they made their choice.” “The children learned that one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly. Their working memory is still under development,” Sloutsky said. “They want to solve this uncertainty by continuing to sample (取样) , by looking at other body parts to see if they line up with what they think.” The children in the study were aged between four and six, with more research set to uncover exactly when children’s working memory improves and gives them the confidence to “act more like adults do” when it comes to completing tasks. 32. What does the underlined word “fledged” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Large. B. Hard. C. Widespread. D. Developed. 33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The reason for kids’ over-exploring. B. Adults’ best way to remember the task. C. The surprising discovery of people’s memory. D. Adults’ and kids’ different attitudes toward work. 34. How did Sloutsky explain his discovery? A. By providing videos. B. By listing some data. C. By quoting others’ opinions. D. By giving an example. 35. What can be a best title for the text? A. Are Children Really So Curious? B. At What Age Will Children Fully Grow up? C. Why Do Children Love Useless Information? D What Is the Difference between Adults and Children? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么孩子们经常问为什么，为什么总是痴迷于收集比完成任务所需更多的信息。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…to understand the task or pay proper attention, or because they are easily distracted and lack the control to focus.(……无法理解任务或给予适当的注意力，或者是因为他们容易分心，缺乏集中注意力的控制。)”和第三段中“But, to their surprise, the researchers found that the most likely explanation for this “over- exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children.(但令他们惊讶的是，研究人员发现，对这种“过度探索”最可能的解释是，儿童的工作记忆尚未完全发展。)”由此可知，此处为这可能是因为儿童的大脑还不够成熟。故可猜测划线单词fledged为“成熟的”意思，和D选项Developed“发达的，成熟的”意思相近。故选D项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“But, to their surprise, the researchers found that the most likely explanation for this “over- exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children. Therefore, while adults can easily remember the best way to complete a task, children are forced to question their often correct memories and re-explore tasks they’ve done before. Simply, children don’t hold information they need to complete a task in their memory for very long, the study suggests.(但令他们惊讶的是，研究人员发现，对这种“过度探索”最可能的解释是，儿童的工作记忆尚未完全发展。因此，虽然成年人可以很容易地记住完成任务的最佳方法，但孩子们被迫质疑他们经常正确的记忆，并重新探索他们以前完成的任务。简单地说，研究表明，孩子们不会在他们的记忆中保存他们完成任务所需的信息很长时间。)”可知，第三段主要讨论了孩子“过度探索”的原因。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Speaking about one of the tasks children were asked to complete in the study, where they were asked to identify an animal by uncovering parts of a hidden picture of them, Sloutsky explained that even though it became obvious after a few tries that the tail was the easiest and quickest part to uncover in order to identify the animal, the kids “just kept uncovering more body parts before they made their choice.”(在谈到孩子们在研究中被要求完成的一项任务时，他们被要求通过揭开隐藏的动物照片的一部分来识别动物，斯劳茨基解释说，尽管经过几次尝试后，很明显，为了识别动物，尾巴是最容易和最快揭开的部分，但孩子们“在做出选择之前，只是不断揭开更多的身体部位。”)”可知，第四段作者提到了研究中孩子们的表现以和一个“尾巴”的故事，由此可推知，斯劳茨基通过举个例子来解释他的发现。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In a new study conducted by Ohio State University, researchers set out to explain why children often gather more information than they need to complete a task, exploring new ways to solve it even when they know the best solution and have done in many times before.(在俄亥俄州立大学进行的一项新研究中，研究人员着手解释为什么孩子们经常收集比完成任务所需的更多的信息，即使他们知道最好的解决方案并且以前已经做过很多次了，也会探索新的解决方法。)”可知，文章开头指出研究人员在新的研究中解释为什么孩子们经常收集比完成任务所需的更多的信息，然后在下文进行详细解释。由此推断C选项“为什么孩子喜欢无用的信息？”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 A day might come along every once in a while when you just feel strange, or uncommunicative, or even unbalanced. ___36___ Therefore, you might need a new approach to learning.

I got up with a heavy head and stared at the wall of my bedroom. I almost screamed in panic as the wall clock happily showed 9:10. The fear of my boss’s anger churned (搅动) my stomach and I hurried to the bathroom to freshen up. Splashing the running water on my face, I looked into the mirror. Those red eyes reminded me of the previous night’s at-home party. I quickly changed into a clean white shirt and my usual black trousers to get ready for the office. My house was in a mess. I looked at my wrist watch and got frightened again. Ignoring the litter in my home, I quickly arrived at the subway station. It was 9:50 by my watch and my heart was beating at a faster rate than usual. I was getting more and more anxious with the passing time. Finally, I entered the office building at exact 10:15. I ran as fast as possible to reach the office of my boss. With a false smile on his face, he said those lovely words to me, “I’m glad to see you so early, Mr. Rawat.” “I’m extremely sorry, sir” were the only words that managed to come out from my mouth. “What excuse do you have, Mr. Rawat? Don’t tell me the same old outdated excuses like the alarm clock didn’t buzz or something.” “Sir, I forgot to pay the electricity bill...” The pressure was building up inside me. His extremely loud voice was hammering on my head. After 20 minutes, he stopped lecturing. Unaware of the time, I finally sat in my cubicle (小隔间) and started working on the project assigned to me. I was busy working on the presentation, without caring about my headache. It was around 5 pm when my phone flashed “Sir Calling”. I picked up the call and the only words I heard were “Come to my office, Mr. Rawat”. I gathered some energy to control my feelings because I knew it was the calm before the storm. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I was at a loss when hearing him say “You can leave on time, Mr. Rawat” to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I never thought my work attitude would save me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was at a loss when hearing him say “You can leave on time, Mr. Rawat” to me. “Did you hear me? You can leave the office on time,” he said, still maintaining his smile. There was an awkward silence between the two of us. He finally broke the ice, saying, “I saw you working on your tasks today. You involved yourself deeply into your work. While the other employees were busy chatting, you were too busy to notice them. I’m extremely happy with your performance, Mr. Rawat. You won my heart today.” I never thought my work attitude would save me. But the way my dearest boss was smiling at me made me realize that my efforts hadn’t gone unnoticed. He saw me working diligently even though I was late for work sometimes. Finally, all the tiredness of the entire day flew off with the magical smile and warm words of my dearest boss. I cleared my desk, carried my bag and walked out of the office. It was then that I realized that hard work pays off. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者早晨因没有闹钟而晚起，匆忙赶往公司却仍然迟到，被老板责骂并遭受了长达20分钟的训斥。之后，作者在紧张和压力中投入到工作中，但傍晚时又接到了老板的电话，预示着可能还有更多的责备或麻烦等待着他。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“当我听到他对我说“拉瓦特先生，你可以准时下班了。”时，我一时不知所措。”可知，第一段可描写老板解释让作者准时下班的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“我从未想过我的工作态度会救了我。”可知，第二段可描写作者在感受到自己的努力被认可之后的感受。 2.续写线索：陷入沉默——解释原因——努力被认可——疲惫烟消云散——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 保持：maintain/keep 致力于：work on/devote oneself to 忙于做某事：be busy doing sth/be engaged in doing sth 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 令人尴尬：awkward/embarrassing 高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] While the other employees were busy chatting, you were too busy to notice them.（运用了while引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was then that I realized that hard work pays off.（运用了强调句，that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江西省2024—2025学年上学期第二次学情检测 高二英语试卷 满分150分 试用时120分钟 注意事项： 1．考查范围：选择性必修第一册～选择性必修第二册Unit1。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields, learning the art of organic farming. After moving to the city, she began missing the farm. Faced with the limited space, Padma felt the absence of fresh vegetables. Besides, she was disappointed with the taste and quality of shop-bought vegetables. Because chemicals used on vegetables were harmful to human health, she finally decided to take matters into her own hands and change her yard into a vegetable garden. Now 48, Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers (肥料). Additionally, she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish. Her husband Suresh Ettan, who is now working in an oil and gas company, said, “As I don’t eat meat, I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning, my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that, she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest. I take pride in showing those photos to my colleagues.” For Padma, the garden has become a source of joy and also a link to her rural roots. Padma says she finds connection to her village through the traditional recipes and taste of homegrown vegetables. More importantly, by growing her own food, the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money.

C Researchers think they’ve observed “dark oxygen” being created on the Pacific Ocean floor, potentially challenging commonly held ideas about how oxygen appeared on Earth. Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis (光合作用), a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that theory and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. The scientists aren’t certain how oxygen is created at such dark depths, but they believe it’s being produced by electrically charged minerals called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). These nodules — “effective batteries in a rock”, professor Sweetman said— may use their electric charge to separate hydrogen (氢气) and oxygen from seawater. “The traditional view is that oxygen was first produced around three billion years ago and there was a gradual development of complex life after that,” said Sweetman. “The potential that there was another source requires us to have a rethink.” Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected nodules to test above ground, and they got the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the nodules. Franz Geiger, a professor who worked on the study, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean to meet global energy demands for decades. But he also said that mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not affect life forms in that part of the ocean. Companies conducted exploratory missions for deep-sea mining in the 1970s and 1980s, Geiger said, and recent research suggests that those missions may have had effects on sea life in the area for decades. “A few years ago, a team of scientists went back to those areas that were mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, there are plenty of life.” 28 What was challenged according to the passage? A The way oxygen is produced. B. The theory of photosynthesis. C. The process of life development. D. The belief that oxygen is crucial. 29. What conclusion did the researchers draw from their tests? A. Sunlight is necessary in creating oxygen. B. Seafloor is the best place to store oxygen. C. Seawater is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. D. Polymetallic nodules may be the source of oxygen. 30. What might Geiger think of the deep-sea mining? A. It should be forbidden. B. It is not worth doing it. C. It is beneficial to the sea life. D. It should be handled properly. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The life on the seafloor. B. Dark oxygen was found. C. The secret of photosynthesis. D. Polymetallic nodules matter. D In a new study conducted by Ohio State University, researchers set out to explain why children often gather more information than they need to complete a task, exploring new ways to solve it even when they know the best solution and have done in many times before. Vladimir Sloutsky, co-author of the study, originally thought this might be because children’s brains aren’t fledged enough to understand the task or pay proper attention, or because they are easily distracted and lack the control to focus. But, to their surprise, the researchers found that the most likely explanation for this “over- exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children. Therefore, while adults can easily remember the best way to complete a task, children are forced to question their often correct memories and re-explore tasks they’ve done before. Simply, children don’t hold information they need to complete a task in their memory for very long, the study suggests. Speaking about one of the tasks children were asked to complete in the study, where they were asked to identify an animal by uncovering parts of a hidden picture of them, Sloutsky explained that even though it became obvious after a few tries that the tail was the easiest and quickest part to uncover in order to identify the animal, the kids “just kept uncovering more body parts before they made their choice.” “The children learned that one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly. Their working memory is still under development,” Sloutsky said. “They want to solve this uncertainty by continuing to sample (取样) , by looking at other body parts to see if they line up with what they think.” The children in the study were aged between four and six, with more research set to uncover exactly when children’s working memory improves and gives them the confidence to “act more like adults do” when it comes to completing tasks. 32. What does the underlined word “fledged” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Large. B. Hard. C. Widespread. D. Developed. 33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The reason for kids’ over-exploring. B. Adults’ best way to remember the task. C. The surprising discovery of people’s memory. D. Adults’ and kids’ different attitudes toward work. 34. How did Sloutsky explain his discovery? A. By providing videos. B. By listing some data. C. By quoting others’ opinions. D. By giving an example. 35. What can be a best title for the text? A. Are Children Really So Curious? B. At What Age Will Children Fully Grow up? C. Why Do Children Love Useless Information? D. What Is the Difference between Adults and Children? 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 A day might come along every once in a while when you just feel strange, or uncommunicative, or even unbalanced. ___36___ Therefore, you might need a new approach to learning.

I got up with a heavy head and stared at the wall of my bedroom. I almost screamed in panic as the wall clock happily showed 9:10. The fear of my boss’s anger churned (搅动) my stomach and I hurried to the bathroom to freshen up. Splashing the running water on my face, I looked into the mirror. Those red eyes reminded me of the previous night’s at-home party. I quickly changed into a clean white shirt and my usual black trousers to get ready for the office. My house was in a mess. I looked at my wrist watch and got frightened again. Ignoring the litter in my home, I quickly arrived at the subway station. It was 9:50 by my watch and my heart was beating at a faster rate than usual. I was getting more and more anxious with the passing time. Finally, I entered the office building at exact 10:15. I ran as fast as possible to reach the office of my boss. With a false smile on his face, he said those lovely words to me, “I’m glad to see you so early, Mr. Rawat.” “I’m extremely sorry, sir” were the only words that managed to come out from my mouth. “What excuse do you have, Mr. Rawat? Don’t tell me the same old outdated excuses like the alarm clock didn’t buzz or something.” “Sir, I forgot to pay the electricity bill...” The pressure was building up inside me. His extremely loud voice was hammering on my head. After 20 minutes, he stopped lecturing. Unaware of the time, I finally sat in my cubicle (小隔间) and started working on the project assigned to me. I was busy working on the presentation, without caring about my headache. It was around 5 pm when my phone flashed “Sir Calling”. I picked up the call and the only words I heard were “Come to my office, Mr. Rawat”. I gathered some energy to control my feelings because I knew it was the calm before the storm. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I was at a loss when hearing him say “You can leave on time, Mr. Rawat” to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I never thought my work attitude would save me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
