【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Good On You ($ 2.99)部分中“This app is a must-have that gives you the power to check the influence of brands (品牌) on issues that mean most to you. With more than 3,000 brands currently listed, and the option to request others to be added in time, this is a handy source of environment-friendly shopping information.(这个应用程序是一个必须拥有的,让你检查品牌对重要问题的影响力。目前有3000多个品牌被列入名单,而且还可以及时要求添加其他品牌,这是一个方便的环保购物信息来源。)”可知,Good On You这个应用程序用于公布品牌对环境的影响。故选D项。
【3题详解】

Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes. Besides, there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators. A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour.
The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.
The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall. What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour. In other words, funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes, compared to those who are not so good at creating humour.
Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny. This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population. They usually don’t like to express themselves in social situations.
Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive (认知的) tasks, each with unique characteristics. This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour, you may ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more?”
4. What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common?
A. attention B. creativity C. imagination D. intelligence
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The results of the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The judgement of the study. D. The importance of the study
6. According to the text, outgoing people .
A. are good at appreciating humour B. are more likely to be comedians
C. are more likely to be funny D. are unwilling to express themselves in social situations
7. What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Being very successful. B. Being easy to talk to.
C. Being quiet and shy. D. Being kind to others.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是聪明才智,一项新的研究对此进行了进一步研究,并试图找到创造幽默和欣赏幽默之间的其他联系。文章解释了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.(讲笑话需要智力、创造力、想象力和讲故事的能力,而听笑话则是一种更被动的行为,但它需要注意力、智力和良好的心情才能欣赏笑话)”可知,讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是聪明才智。故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.(作者进行了漫画配文的任务。研究人员向159名参与者展示了30多部没有字幕的漫画,并要求他们为每一幅漫画想出一个有趣的标题。之后,独立评委根据搞笑程度对这些字幕进行分类)”可知,第二段的主要内容是研究的过程。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny.(此外,外向的人和那些乐于接受新体验的人觉得卡通更有趣,但令人惊讶的是,外向的人不太可能有趣)”可推知,外向的人善于欣赏幽默。故选A。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“They usually don’t like to express themselves in social situations.(他们通常不喜欢在社交场合表达自己)”可知,喜剧演员通常不喜欢在社交场合表达自己,说明他们比较安静和害羞。故划线词意思是“安静害羞”。故选C。
C
What is a barrier? It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’ re presently facing one, you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all, barriers give you motivations. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions.
Also, barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers, more often than not, are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
8. What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers?
A. Your specific goals. B. Your own attitude.
C. Your diverse preparations. D. Your strong will power.
9. Which of the following is true about barriers?
A. They bring you positive emotions.
B. They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C. They are avoidable if you prepare for them well.
D. They enable you to view things in a different way.
10. What does the underlined word “approach” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. To cope with. B. To go over.
C. To come near to sb. D. To speak to sb about sth.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Life is always throwing us barriers. B. Barriers are double-edged swords.
C. Embracing barriers benefits a lot. D. Meeting barriers is actually avoidable.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了是什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it.”(当许多人回避障碍,否认它们的存在或让障碍控制自己时,你对障碍的立场将决定你是从挑战中崛起,还是陷入困境。)以及倒数第二段中“So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.”(所以,最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍,并将它们转化为自我提升的机会。你越能把障碍看作是你生活中的优势,你就越能更好地处理它们。)可推知,当面对障碍时,决定结果的因素是你自己的态度。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path.”(你可能会遇到挫折或困难,你被迫重新思考,重新审视你的道路。)以及第三段中“Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way.”(相反,在某种程度上,它们会给你时间停下来思考是否有一条新的更好的道路可以走,以及你可以为沿途发生的事情做些什么准备。)可知,关于障碍,“它们能让你以不同的方式看待事物”这个陈述是正确的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Life will never stop throwing you new barriers.”(生活永远不会停止给你设置新的障碍。)以及划线单词句中“and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement.”(并将它们转化为自我提升的机会。)由此可知,此处为:所以,最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍。故可此处划线单词approach为“处理”的意思,结合A选项中的To cope with“应付,处理”意思一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.”(接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。)可知,文章主要讲的是什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是“拥抱障碍会带来很多好处”。故选C项。
D
I’m a college teacher and researcher. At 40 years old, I’d been writing essays (文章) for ten years. While I’d achieved small success landing unpaid bylines (署名行), most of my essays went ignored after I shot them off into the black hole of the Internet.
But writing is in my bones, and despite my frustration (沮丧), giving up didn’t seem like an option. I decided to go back to school. Last summer, I took a writing class with The New York Times bestselling author Susan Shapiro.
To my surprise, Shapiro’s course was not just an education in how to get your writing published. It was also an eight-week lesson on how to get over yourself. She told stories about how hard she’d worked to get her essays out into the world. She was always forthcoming (愿意提供信息的) about how much writing, rewriting, submitting (提交), and resubmitting she’d had to do. “The harder I work, the luckier I get,” she said.
For our last class, Shapiro encouraged us to write about our most embarrassing secret. I admitted how masks allowed me to fully enjoy the freedom from wondering what other people were thinking about the lower half of my face. Five weeks later, my essay, “I am insecure about my face. For me, masks are liberating”, was published in The Washington Post. It was my first piece published in the major media and the first time I’d been paid for my writing.
Five months after my piece was published, I landed a book deal. I am now officially a writer for children. My first novel, Jawbreaker, is set to be published in the spring of 2023.
After so much rejection, landing a book deal was something that I never thought would happen to me. Taking Shapiro’s class and learning to get over myself had changed my life. I continue to set publishing goals, and am no longer discouraged by rejection.
12. Why did the author feel disappointed?
A. She was too old to be a writer. B. She didn’t get well paid for her writing.
C. Her writing was rejected by publishers. D. Her teacher didn’t think she could be a writer.
13. What did the author do to improve her writing?
A. She attended a writing class. B. She visited bestselling authors.
C. She studied successful writers’ works. D. She went back to school for a higher degree in literature.
14. What did Shapiro ask the author to do in the end?
A. Find the cause of her failure to be a published author.
B. Draw up a detailed publication plan for her first novel.
C. Share her secret of becoming a writer for children.
D. Get inspiration from her most awkward secret.
15. What can we learn from the author’s success?
A. Good advice is beyond all price. B. Writing gives people confidence.
C. Education is the key to success. D. Perseverance pays off.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者分享了自己在写作路上遭遇的坎坷和自己成功的经历。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While I’d achieved small success landing unpaid bylines (署名行), most of my essays went ignored after I shot them off into the black hole of the Internet.(虽然我取得了小小的成功,获得了无偿的署名,,在我把它们扔进了互联网的黑洞后,大多数文章都被忽视了)”以及第二段“But writing is in my bones, and despite my frustration (沮丧), giving up didn’t seem like an option.(但写作是我骨子里的东西,尽管我很沮丧,但放弃似乎不是一个选择)”可知,作者投出的大多数作品都石沉大海,这让她很沮丧。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I decided to go back to school. Last summer, I took a writing class with The New York Times bestselling author Susan Shapiro.(我决定回到学校。去年夏天,我上了《纽约时报》畅销书作家苏珊·夏皮罗的写作课)”可知,为了提升自己的写作能力,作者决定继续深造,报名上了《纽约时报》一位畅销书作家的写作课程。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For our last class, Shapiro encouraged us to write about our most embarrassing secret. I admitted how masks allowed me to fully enjoy the freedom from wondering what other people were thinking about the lower half of my face. Five weeks later, my essay, “I am insecure about my face. For me, masks are liberating”, was published in The Washington Post.(最后一堂课,夏皮罗鼓励我们写下我们最尴尬的秘密。我承认,面具让我充分享受了自由,不用再去想别人对我脸的下半部分有什么看法。五周后,我的文章《我对自己的脸没有安全感,对我来说,面具是解放》”,发表在《华盛顿邮报》上)”可知,在最后一节课上,Shapiro鼓励作者把自己最难以启齿的秘密写出来,作者由此获得了写作灵感,文章也终于刊登在了主流媒体上。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“After so much rejection, landing a book deal was something that I never thought would happen to me. Taking Shapiro’s class and learning to get over myself had changed my life. I continue to set publishing goals, and am no longer discouraged by rejection.(在被拒绝了这么多次之后,我从未想过自己会有出书的机会。上了夏皮罗的课,学会了克服自我,这改变了我的生活。我继续设定出版目标,不再因被拒而气馁)”结合文章讲述了作者酷爱写作,但是却屡屡受挫。然而,作者没有选择放弃,她决定继续努力,参加了畅销书作家的写作课程,不断提升自己的写作能力。在老师的指点下,作者终于获得了成功,成为了一名儿童文学作家。由此可知,作者的故事告诉读者只要坚持不懈、永不放弃就一定会有回报。故选D。

How to Fight Laziness
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
____16____ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ____17____
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. ____18____ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. ____19____ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
____20____ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了战胜懒惰的几种方法,包括保证充足睡眠、转变心态、消除诱惑并建立奖励机制、在家中树立榜样以及定期锻炼等,帮助人们通过改变自身行为和心态来克服懒惰。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.(许多人长期睡眠不足,因为他们熬夜太晚,又起得太早去准备工作。这些人到家后几乎毫无动力可言。懒惰与缺乏动力、拖延倾向密不可分。通过调整你的作息时间,多获得几小时有意义的休息,你就能全天对抗慵懒状态)”可知,该段重点围绕“睡眠”与“战胜懒惰”的关系展开,强调充足睡眠是战胜懒惰的一种方式。这与B项“One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.(战胜懒惰的一种方法是保证充足的睡眠)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(另一种战胜懒惰的方法是将心态从被动转变为主动。有些人对待生活就像被推着完成一个又一个任务,而另一些人则采取更积极的态度,将每项任务视为必须独自克服的挑战)”可知,此处对比了“被动心态”和“主动心态”对生活的影响,被动心态易让人陷入被推动的状态,进而滋生懒惰。这与G项 “Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.(当你不再觉得能掌控自己的生活时,懒惰就会滋生)”表达的意思一致,故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.(完成一些任务后,用自己喜欢的东西奖励自己,比如一顿丰盛的晚餐或一场电影)”可知,该段强调通过“完成任务后获得奖励”的方式对抗懒惰,即建立自我奖励机制。这与F项“Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.(就像父母对孩子那样,为自己建立一个奖励机制)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(懒惰也可能成为家庭中长期存在的问题。夫妻和孩子可能精力水平各异,但如果不立即加以应对,懒惰就会蔓延开来)”以及下文“Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.(饭后第一个收拾洗碗,家里的其他人最终可能会效仿你,完成自己的任务)”可知,该段聚焦“家庭中的懒惰问题”,并提出“以身作则”的解决办法。这与A项“To fight family laziness, set an example.(要对抗家庭中的懒惰,就要树立榜样)”表达的意思一致,故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.(充足的运动和均衡的饮食能帮助你养成健康的生活方式,从而让你更有精力,也有助于提振精神)”可知,该段重点介绍“运动”对战胜懒惰的作用,这与D项“Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.(最后,定期锻炼能帮助你战胜懒惰)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。

【答案】
A Moving Experience
Last winter afternoon, I witnessed a deeply touching moment at a neighborhood dumpling shop. An elderly man, with frayed sleeves and dusty shoes, sat quietly by the window. He ordered just a bowl full of dumplings, eating slowly as if savoring every bite. Judging from his clothes, most people thought he lived a hard life.
But after finishing up, he walked straight to the donation box for poor students at the door, pulled out 100 yuan from his pocket, and put it in gently.
This experience hit me hard It taught me never to judge a person by their appearance — true kindness and generosity have nothing to do with how one looks.

Recently I graduated from high school, and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers, 40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn't know what to do with them. The next weekend my niece and nephew, Sue and Mike, aged 6 and 7, came and suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others. So I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile. They loved the idea and were eager to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman. As soon as she saw the policeman, my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower. His smile was so big, but hers was even bigger!
In no time, we neared the end of our flowers. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, who was really excited to receive the flower. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies, my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It turned out to be a great day for us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most. Just then, my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby. “I think she’s the very person for the flower. She lives a hard life because of bad health. She needs smiles most,” said my nephew. With these words, my nephew, followed by my niece, took the flower up to her. You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled, and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us. We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers, and received a lot of smiles in return. The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves, but also made 40 other people feel happy. I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people. Meanwhile, the kids learned an important lesson in the process. In fact, they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again. They want to give out more flowers!
【解析】

续写时要求短文的词数应为150左右,所以要提前构思,抓住重点,避免长篇大论。
【点睛】续写部分描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:catch sight of;more…
than;can’t wait ;give out等高级词汇;With these words,followed by my niece复合结构作状语等高级句式。

Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes. Besides, there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators. A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour.
The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.
The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall. What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour. In other words, funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes, compared to those who are not so good at creating humour.
Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny. This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population. They usually don’t like to express themselves in social situations.
Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive (认知的) tasks, each with unique characteristics. This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour, you may ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more?”
4. What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common?
A. attention B. creativity C. imagination D. intelligence
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The results of the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The judgement of the study. D. The importance of the study
6. According to the text, outgoing people .
A. are good at appreciating humour B. are more likely to be comedians
C. are more likely to be funny D. are unwilling to express themselves in social situations
7. What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Being very successful. B. Being easy to talk to.
C Being quiet and shy. D. Being kind to others.
C
What is a barrier? It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’ re presently facing one, you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all, barriers give you motivations. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions.
Also, barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers, more often than not, are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
8. What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers?
A. Your specific goals. B. Your own attitude.
C. Your diverse preparations. D. Your strong will power.
9. Which of the following is true about barriers?
A. They bring you positive emotions.
B. They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C. They are avoidable if you prepare for them well.
D. They enable you to view things in a different way.
10. What does the underlined word “approach” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. To cope with. B. To go over.
C. To come near to sb. D. To speak to sb about sth.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Life is always throwing us barriers. B. Barriers are double-edged swords.
C. Embracing barriers benefits a lot. D. Meeting barriers is actually avoidable.
D
I’m a college teacher and researcher. At 40 years old, I’d been writing essays (文章) for ten years. While I’d achieved small success landing unpaid bylines (署名行), most of my essays went ignored after I shot them off into the black hole of the Internet.
But writing is in my bones, and despite my frustration (沮丧), giving up didn’t seem like an option. I decided to go back to school. Last summer, I took a writing class with The New York Times bestselling author Susan Shapiro.
To my surprise, Shapiro’s course was not just an education in how to get your writing published. It was also an eight-week lesson on how to get over yourself. She told stories about how hard she’d worked to get her essays out into the world. She was always forthcoming (愿意提供信息的) about how much writing, rewriting, submitting (提交), and resubmitting she’d had to do. “The harder I work, the luckier I get,” she said.
For our last class, Shapiro encouraged us to write about our most embarrassing secret. I admitted how masks allowed me to fully enjoy the freedom from wondering what other people were thinking about the lower half of my face. Five weeks later, my essay, “I am insecure about my face. For me, masks are liberating”, was published in The Washington Post. It was my first piece published in the major media and the first time I’d been paid for my writing.
Five months after my piece was published, I landed a book deal. I am now officially a writer for children. My first novel, Jawbreaker, is set to be published in the spring of 2023.
After so much rejection, landing a book deal was something that I never thought would happen to me. Taking Shapiro’s class and learning to get over myself had changed my life. I continue to set publishing goals, and am no longer discouraged by rejection.

How to Fight Laziness
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
____16____ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ____17____
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. ____18____ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. ____19____ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
____20____ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

Recently I graduated from high school, and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers, 40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn't know what to do with them. The next weekend my niece and nephew, Sue and Mike, aged 6 and 7, came and suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others. So I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile. They loved the idea and were eager to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman. As soon as she saw the policeman, my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower. His smile was so big, but hers was even bigger!
In no time, we neared the end of our flowers. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, who was really excited to receive the flower. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies, my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
