Whea nehaven't taken the time to come up with anotheridea,we just shut ourselves in a room with a book It's no surprise that-we find tvision boring and difticult.Just as children leam trom playing,we can leam from doing,or at least from study techniques that mterest us,rather than make us switch off.Shutting ourselves aay can make us Ieam to bate studying,leading to a situation where,instead ofbeing able to concentrle onour vork,we are troubled by how anfair it is that we must study.This can be part ofa.viciou -s(&性物cycle that traps us into i血effective revision,or poor progress fueling(增t加)further annoyance. Thinkfully,working in the company of other people really helps fight against that.We just need to learn bow to deal with distractions().It's not necessary to avoid all company,just lazy company.They conuntly try to keep others in conversation.While studymg in thesame room with someone who is ironing op soking out is perfeetly possible.Of course,it's also n-good idea to avoid the company of people involve -din activities where you would rather be playing than studying Working while sftting next to someone plying video gares is most likely to end with a new high score gamerather than productive revision. If being around others means working in a noisy environment,a pair ofheadphones and some bckground music can block out noises.They also act as a psychological barier,so that people think twice bafore interrupting you Besides,we should know friends and family can lessen feerings of isolation.And connecting with oer people makes us happy,so it's impodant not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize. 21.What can we leamn fiom Paragrepn 2? A.Good ideas are needed m temms ofprogress. B.Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision C.Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work. D.Revision is interesting and easy with study techrigues torcedain. 22.According to Paragraph 3,the writer probably agrees that A.one should leam from certain activities that interest us B.playing video games is helpful for an effective study C.one shouldn't study with the company of a video player D.the more time one spends in playing games,the higher test scores one will got 23.In the writer's opinion,if you study in a noisy environment,you should A.spend no time socializing B.give up others'company at'once C.give signs ofnot wanting to be interrupted D.force yourself to be used to the environment 24.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To introduce an effective studying means. B.To encourage us to work as hard as possible. C.To remind us to balance activities and study. D.To discuss the importance of family company. C What is time?Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted,like money?Or is it something we have no control over,like the weather?Is it the same all over the world?That's an easy question,you say.Wherever you go,a minute is 60 seconds,an hour is 60 minutes,a day is 24 bours,and so forth.Well,maybe.But in America,time is more than that.Americans see time as a valuable resource.Maybe that's why they like the expression,"Time is money." Because Americans believe time is a limited resource,they try to keep and manage it.People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management.Itseems that they all want to organize their time better.People try their best to press more life out of their time. To Americans,being on time is a way of showing respect for other people's time.Boing more than 10 mmnutes late usually calls for an apology and an explanation.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can't be on time.Of course,the less format the situation is,the less important it ist obe exactly on time.At informal get-togethers,for example,people often arriveas much as 30 minutes late. But they usually don't try that at work. American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an eveat, they often set the time days or weeks hefore it.Onee the time is fixed,It is almost impossible to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visx,they wil usually call first to make sure it is convenie- nt Only very close friends will just"drop by"unannounced.Also people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed.The time may be different,but most people think twice about calling after 10 pm. Even Americans would agree that no one can master time.Time,like money,slips all too easily through our finger.And time,like the weather,is very hard to predict However,time is one of life's most valuable gifts. In fact,time is more valuable than money.Why?Because when moaey is spent,we can eam it back. However,when time rs lost,it wall never return.This is the reason why we must value time.The time.we have is limited.Every second is precious.We should make full use of our time. But there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time.They kill away their time chatting, smoking,drinking or gambling,They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting their valuable life. In a word,we should get into the good habit of saving time.Do not leave what can be done today until tomorrow.Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty. 25.From Paragraph 1,we can learn mat A.Americans waste lots of money and time B.people can only control 60 minutes a day C.Americans regard time as something valuable D.money is more important than time in America 26.In Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4,the woter ma tels us that A.Americans respect others'time in daiay lie 】 B.Americans never call after ten o'clock C.Americans visit friends without calling first D.Americans arrive days before an event 27.According to this passage,. A.most American people treasure their time B.people can master and predict time easily C.Americans like time better than anything else D.people are supposea to oe on time in all situations 28.This passage mainly talks about A.some of the Amerman lifestyles B.bow Americans treat time C.all kinds of ways to spend time D.different opinions about time D Imagine you are ordeting for your roommates.You remember aura prefers banana ice cream to choco Late.It could be a fact for it was proved by observing her behavior.However,the ice cream preference could be an opinion that shows her personal choice.While it's nice to think the world is clearly divided into matters of fact and matters of opinion,it's not always the case. What we think are facts-those things we think are true-can end up being wrong.Calling something a fact is not a promise of infallibilitv().The famous writer,Asimov expressed this in his article The Re -lativity of Wrong For him.he person who thuks the Earth is flat is wrong,and so is the person who thinks the Earth isa sphere.A fact is usually used to represent the bt knowledge we have at a certain time. Then again,calling somerning an opinion doesn't meaan-escapete the firy lend ot wisbful thinking If we think of an opinion as one person's view on a subject,then many opinions can be solid.For example, it'smy opinion that science provides us with a powerful tool to help uderstand our place in the universe. It's not a fact that science does so,but it works for me. But we can be much clearer in our meaning if we divide things into matters of fact and matters ofopini -on.Matters of fact are limited to empirical statements()such as what the boiling point of water is. Matters of opinion are non-empirical statemeats,which include questions of value and of personal preferenc esuch as whether it's better to eat more vegetables than meat. Matters of opinion can be informed by matters of fact (for example,finding out that vegetables are rich in vitamins can change my food preference),but finally they are not answered by matters of fact(why does it matter to me that vegetables are rich in vitamins?) Opinions are not iust pale shadows影子)of facts.They are judgments and conclusions(评判和结论). They can be the result of careful consideration in areas for which emptrical research is notenough or ill-suited. Facts and opinions should not be put in oppositiop to.cach other,as they can both play a necessary role in our decision-making.But that's just my opinion,not arfact. 29.The writer leads into the passeage by. A.giving a compariso B.givmg a definiton e.giving a situstion D.asking questions 30.The writer mentions Asimov'sarticle in Paragraph 2 to saow: A.different opinons result in beated argomems B.repeating facts can make others agree with us C.what we take as facts may tumn out to be wrong D.it is difficult to predict how facts change over time 31.The word"informed"in Paragraph 5 probably means A.Influenced B.questiond C.repiaced D.provea 32.The writer probably agrees tha A.opinions are more important than facts B.facts and opinions are not against each other C.opinions can be the results of wishful thinking D.facts play an important role in scientific research 33.Which of the followrog is true A.Facts are always correct and unchanging,while opinions are untoHable personal preferences. B.Opinions can be influenced by facts,but they finally depend personal judgement and values. C.Facts and opnrentirely seprateand shouldve decision-making. D.Matters of opinion can be definitively answered by empirical research over time 论 Life is full of choices and decisions.34. Firt,it's better te make a decision quickly than avoid it for a month because you're afraid of choonng 35.Also,some choices usually have time Timits.So to keep our brains from getting too timed,we needn't think about the cost of every single choice.Narrow down the list and try comparing only the best two or three. Nexk think about the value and cost of each choice.To do that,you can make a list of advantages and disadvantages 36.This way you can tell if one huge advantage is more important than a group of little disadvantagee. The,stay calm and give yourself some space:You don't want to delay for weeks,but if you're aboutto make a hasty decision,you may end up picking something you regret.37.And it might take you a few days for.major choices,like choosing your dream high schooL 38.Why?Because it's good to get a fresh way of thinking from others who are not as worried as you.Consider their opinions even if they are not what you want to hear.You need to take different opinions into consideration so that you will make a wise decision. A.You'll need at least one night to"sleep on it". B.And you don't have to make a decision alone. C.They are the best chances to show your personality. D.These ways of letting out what you are feeliag are helpful B.It's very tiring to think things over but fail to decide in me. F.rbetteryo create a scorecard,on which you give out bigger point values to what you think is more importar G.Here are some steps to help you make wise decisions 三、完形填空（年小题1分，满分20分） I leamed somthing really early from my family:Even the biggest challenges are lesswhen you solve them as a commusity.
