Will you eat healthier, exercise more and read more books? For many of us, these wishes feel familiar (熟悉). Around this January, we made the same resolutions. We started with strong willpower (意志力). But a few weeks later, we became lazy again. When the alarm went off in the morning, we pressed the snooze button once, twice, then three times. Our beds were so warm and comfortable that we just didn’t want to get out. Running? It was out of the question. Will we give up our New Year’s resolutions again? How can we prevent that? Jay Van Bavel and Dominic Packer are two psychology professors (心理学教授). They advise us to form “resolution groups.” Van Bavel and Packer make New Year’s resolutions every year. Like many of us, they usually fail to keep them, but they have one exception. A few years ago, they decided to write a book together. After they made the decision, they started to have weekly meetings. Every weekend, they met in coffee shops to write together and discuss their writings. They wrote their plans in a shared document (文档) and read them out loud at each meeting. “When we know our friends are expecting us to keep our resolutions, we try our best to keep them, even if it’s hard,” Packer says. After making New Year’s resolutions, why don’t you y don’t you join a group? You could start a running group with friends, or a reading club with your classmates. Being part of a group will help you make real progress. 4. What does the underlined phrase “the snooze button” mean? A. 播放键 B. 音量键 C. 稍后提醒键 5. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. An example of keeping resolutions. B. Why people need to make resolutions. C. Different kinds of New Year’s resolutions. 6. What is the writer’s opinion on resolution groups? A. Doubtful. B.

I wanted to give it a go. I was playing Sir Toby Belch, a very funny old knight (骑士), I had to remember a lot of sentences and very funny old words. I worked hard in order to act well, like a real knight from the old days. But I think the most difficult job was to be funny in all my acting. This is quite different from the way I am in real life. “OK, it’s time to be a different me now!” I said to myself. At first, I couldn’t do anything naturally. I don’t know what to do when acting in this silly way. But I always told myself that I was Sir Toby now and I should forget who I really was. Even when I was in the bath, I was thinking about Sir Toby’s words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did. The competition day finally came. When it was my turn to perform, I took a deep breath and began my part. I tried hard to make my words clear enough to be understood and my actions funny enough to make everybody laugh. When the results were finally read out, I immediately knew we had won first prize. I made it. From this experience. I’ve come to know that I can be a different person. It doesn’t mean I’ve changed my personality, but I can do something I had never imagined possible. 8. What does the underlined words “give it a go” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Go to a place. B.

This is quite different from the way I am in real life.”可知，作者想在表演中表现得很滑稽，这一点对他来说很难。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I was told to play for a drama competition,”和“I was playing Sir Toby Belch, a very funny old knight (骑士)”可知，作者被要求参加戏剧比赛，扮演Sir Toby Belch；根据“At first, I couldn’t do anything naturally”可知，起初，作者不能自然地扮演这个角色；根据“Even when I was in the bath, I was thinking about Sir Toby’s words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did.”可知，作者尽力思考Sir Toby Belch的言行；根据“When it was my turn to perform, I took a deep breath and began my part.”可知，在比赛表演时，作者深吸了一口气，开始表演；根据“When the results were finally read out, I immediately knew we had won first prize. ”可知，作者最后赢得一等奖。正确的顺序是e-b-a-d-c，故选A。 【11题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述作者参加一个戏剧比赛，为了表演好角色下了许多功夫，努力改变自己，最后获得了第一名。选项C“一次与众不同的戏剧经历”作为标题最为合适。故选A。 第二节 语篇补全（共4个小题；每小题2分，满分8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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 It is said that the eyes are the windows to our soul. ____12____ Your eyes need everyday attention.

B It is time for New Year’s resolutions every January. Will you eat healthier, exercise more and read more books? For many of us, these wishes feel familiar (熟悉的). Around this January, we made the same resolutions. We started with strong willpower (意志力). But a few weeks later, we became lazy again. When the alarm went off in the morning, we pressed the snooze button once, twice, then three times. Our beds were so warm and comfortable that we just didn’t want to get out. Running? It was out of the question. Will we give up our New Year’s resolutions again? How can we prevent that? Jay Van Bavel and Dominic Packer are two psychology professors (心理学教授). They advise us to form “resolution groups.” Van Bavel and Packer make New Year’s resolutions every year. Like many of us, they usually fail to keep them, but they have one exception. A few years ago, they decided to write a book together. After they made the decision, they started to have weekly meetings. Every weekend, they met in coffee shops to write together and discuss their writings. They wrote their plans in a shared document (文档) and read them out loud at each meeting. “When we know our friends are expecting us to keep our resolutions, we try our best to keep them, even if it’s hard,” Packer says. After making New Year’s resolutions, why don’t you y don’t you join a group? You could start a running group with friends, or a reading club with your classmates. Being part of a group will help you make real progress. 4. What does the underlined phrase “the snooze button” mean? A. 播放键 B. 音量键 C. 稍后提醒键 5. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. An example of keeping resolutions. B. Why people need to make resolutions. C. Different kinds of New Year’s resolutions. 6. What is the writer’s opinion on resolution groups? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Worried. 7. What is the main idea of this passage? A. How to keep our New Year’s resolutions B. What are your New Year’s resolutions C. Examples of New Year’s resolutions C When I was told to play for a drama competition, I became nervous. I had never done anything like this before. But after reading g Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, I was excited about what was to come. The story was great and sentences were so funny. I wanted to give it a go. I was playing Sir Toby Belch, a very funny old knight (骑士), I had to remember a lot of sentences and very funny old words. I worked hard in order to act well, like a real knight from the old days. But I think the most difficult job was to be funny in all my acting. This is quite different from the way I am in real life. “OK, it’s time to be a different me now!” I said to myself. At first, I couldn’t do anything naturally. I don’t know what to do when acting in this silly way. But I always told myself that I was Sir Toby now and I should forget who I really was. Even when I was in the bath, I was thinking about Sir Toby’s words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did. The competition day finally came. When it was my turn to perform, I took a deep breath and began my part. I tried hard to make my words clear enough to be understood and my actions funny enough to make everybody laugh. When the results were finally read out, I immediately knew we had won first prize. I made it. From this experience. I’ve come to know that I can be a different person. It doesn’t mean I’ve changed my personality, but I can do something I had never imagined possible. 8. What does the underlined words “give it a go” in Paragraph 1 mean? A Go to a place. B. Let it go away. C. Have a try. 9. What did the writer think of acting in a funny way at first? A. Exciting. B. Difficult. C. Natural. 10. What is the correct order according to the passage? a. I tried my best to think about the words and actions of Sir Toby Belch. b. I couldn’t play the part naturally. c. We won the first prize in the competition. d. I breathed deeply and started to play. e. I was told to play Sir Toby Belch. A. e-b-a-d-c B. e-a-b-d-c C. a-b-d-c-e 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Different Drama Experience. B.
