My uncle is a very modest and serious person. He always works to high standards. He is patient enough to answer his students’ questions. No matter how diffcult the questions are, he will try his best to make them understood. He is also a man full of love. When he has some money left, he donates it to someone in need. For example, he often gives clothes and books to the poor children in the village. My uncle likes red because he thinks red represents power and strong feelings. He also likes sports because he believes that sports can keep him healthy and energetic. Whenever I have problems, I will turn to him for help. He has a great influence on me. He helps me make a study plan and suggests that I can choose my hobbies according to my free time. This helps me achieve a balance between my schoolwork and hobbies.

I am Mike, a psychologist from Nanjing University. I’m very honored to give you a speech here, talking about the worries that students of your age often share.

Join a club or activity you’re interested in, smile and be open to meeting new people. To build confidence, focus on your strengths and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small.

Share your feelings and listen to their perspective as well. I hope these suggestions help you navigate these challenges. 4. 【参考范文】 Small Things Can Make a Big Difference In the vast ocean of life, it is often the smallest waves that create the biggest ripples. I have come to understand that small things can indeed make a big difference. I recall a time when I started picking up litter on my daily walks. Initially, it was a small act done out of habit. However, as I continued this practice, I noticed that others around me began to follow suit. This simple act of cleanliness not only improved the environment but also inspired a sense of community and responsibility among my neighbors. It was a small thing, but it made a big difference in our shared space. In conclusion, small things can indeed make a big difference. They serve as the foundation for greater achievements and can inspire others to join in the effort. 试卷第1页，共3页 1 / 8zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题04 完形、阅读与写作培优精练 （期中专项训练） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 1、 完形填空 Cloze 1 “Marilla, can I meet a bosom friend in Avonlea?” Anne asked. “A what kind of friend?” “A best friend.

It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 1 way as a larger group. This 2 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups. People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 3 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 4 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct (本能) drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” 5 it is not necessarily true. For certain individuals, 6 for social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction (上瘾): in order to satisfy the desire (渴望), they may go too far and 7 their sense of right and wrong. Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 8 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 9 the peers. 10 , peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends do well in 11 may be motivated to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult develop a good habit or drop a bad one. Although peer pressure is sometimes quite 12 , some people may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, such as choosing a career path or deciding on a major investment, simply going with an instinct is 13 . Instead, people should seriously consider 14 they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests? They should also consider whether the real 15 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. Taking the time to think and make a wiser decision can lead to a proper and fulfilling life. 1．A．traditional B．similar C．weird D．normal 2．A．influence B．result C．cause D．method 3．A．understandable B．important C．acceptable D．surprising 4．A．mistakes B．failure C．disapproval D．independence 5．A．as if B．even if C．since D．unless 6．A．asking B．caring C．waiting D．looking 7．A．gain B．lose C．decrease D．increase 8．A．avoid B．stop C．encourage D．improve 9．A．have fun with B．stay away from C．make fun of D．keep up with 10．A．However B．As a result C．In conclusion D．What’s more 11．A．research B．music C．school D．sports 12．A．positive B．ridiculous C．reliable D．obvious 13．A．common B．dangerous C．natural D．necessary 14．A．why B．when C．how D．what 15．A．motivation B．danger C．support D．problem Cloze 6 “You must be Alex.” said a girl, offering her hand. 1 , Alex quickly hide the folded paper behind his back.

However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” Hu told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes. In fact, during times of fast economic development, the rate of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries. For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year. Even so, the government has taken measures to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped. Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper. 1．Hu Xie might agree that ________. A．nearly half of China’s cities are sinking B．land subsidence is not a problem at all C．the sinking of certain areas matters most D．many cities have areas of sinking and uplift 2．What is the major cause of land subsidence in China according to the passage? A．Water pollution. B．High buildings. C．The use of groundwater. D．The South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 3．What measure has Shanghai taken to stop land subsidence? A．Using less groundwater. B．Using water from southern cities. C．Encouraging people to use more water. D．Using recycled water. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show the rate of land subsidence in China. B．To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. C．To explain the different causes of land subsidence. D．To discuss land subsidence and present solutions. Passage 2 On July 31st, 2024, in the final of women’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving at the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan performed outstandingly and won the championship with a total score of 359.10. From the first dive, Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan started the “disappearing water splash technique”. Their first dive gave them a lead of 7.20 points over the second-place rivals. Their five dives were very stable. They controlled the water splash effect extremely well. The scores of each dive were 56.40, 54.60, 80.10, 55.44 and 82.56. Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan are the “twin star” pair in the Chinese women’s diving platform event. Since their first appearance in an in-team test competition on April 20th, 2022, they have won the championship of the synchronized 10-meter platform in various world competitions such as the World championship and the World Cup. This championship win also made the Chinese diving team achieve seven consecutive championship in this event at the Olympics. Chen Yuxi was born in 2005 and Quan Hongchan was born in 2007. Both young athletes won gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. At that time, Quan Hongchan won the gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform event with a world record-breaking performance, and Chen Yuxi won the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform championship with Zhang Jiaqi.

The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.” After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave.” 1．The writer mainly wants to ________.

A．stress B．anger C．worry D．love 3．We can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of ________. A．eighty B．three C．thirty-eight D．forty-five 4．The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because ________. A．he forgot what had happened B．he would like his son to read it C．it could remind himself of the past D．he wanted to find what a crow was Passage 4 Humans are getting away from the nature gradually because of the developing technology. But now Digital Technology is offering us an opportunity to listen to the sounds in the nature in powerful ways, making us get closer to the worlds of animals and plants. All around the nature, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose of attracting baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! To pick up sounds humans are normally unable to hear, scientists have placed listening devices in these environments. Researchers have attached (连接) tiny microphones to honeybees and turtles, and stuck listening posts that can receive different sound waves from coral reefs and trees. These devices are controlled by computers and networked with digital sensors and satellites. When interconnected, these digital devices work like a hearing aid: enabling humans to observe and record nature’s sounds beyond the limits of our own listening ability. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meanings. With this technology, humans can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, a team of researchers in Germany decoded the honeybees’ behavior with AI. Then they taught tiny robots how to do the honeybee dance. Using these dancing machines, the scientists were able to order the honeybees to stop moving, and to communicate where to fly to collect a specific nectar. In addition to the possibility of speaking with animals, the research could also be used to create a form of healing for animals and plants. That’s to say, in the near future, scientists might be able to get coral to grow in certain areas by playing “healthy reef” sounds, which could help some of the damage we have caused to become healthy again. Now, Digital Technology provides a new way for humans to listen to the lively sounds all around us. The dream of allowing humans to communicate with different animals and plants throughout the nature is being on its way. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about listening devices? A．AI can help to explain the meanings of nature’s sounds. B．The hearing aid collects the sounds from the animals or plants. C．Scientists need to connect the devices with computers and networks. D．The devices can record nature’s sounds beyond people’s listening ability. 2．Which is the right order to pick up the sounds from the nature for scientists? a. Analyze the meanings with the help of AI. b. Place listening devices into the nature world. c. Collect the sounds from the animals or plants. d. Connect the devices with computers and networks. A．c→d→b→a B．b→c→d→a C．c→b→a→d D．b→d→c →a 3．What can you infer from the last paragraph? A．Scientists are likely to discover a new way of recording. B．Humans will have better communication with the nature. C．It’s possible for people to dance with the honeybee together. D．Digital Technology can be used to communicate with anything. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss how to control listening devices. B．To compare different ways for communication. C．To introduce a technology to get closer to the nature. D．To suggest how to improve people’s listening ability. Passage 5 Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online to find the right one. Sounds really hard, doesn’t it? Well, with the help of AI stylists, it’s not so hard any more. An AI stylist can help people choose outfits. It searches for pictures of clothes online and collects thousands of outfits created by human stylists. It can also understand words and pick out important information about each piece of clothing. It keeps all the pictures and words in a data set. Then, the AI stylist gives people fashion ideas according to what they like. A team of people look after the data set (数据集) and make sure it always has the newest information. They help the AI stylist get better at choosing clothes by improving its rules. The AI stylist can also suggest something new to try, even if it’s a little different from what the user usually wears. People often like to try something new! An AI stylist can run into problems when people from different cultures use it. What is popular in Asia may be different from what is cool in Europe. The AI stylist should know what is popular in each place and change its advice to match people’s wants in different places. So, people make rules for AI stylists to follow. Different countries can change these rules to match different styles. An AI stylist also has to keep up with “fashion rules”. Sometimes, certain clothes don’t go well together. It is difficult for the AI stylist to understand. So another AI model that can understand the cut, style and colour of outfits adds that information to the data set. People have compared (比较) outfits by AI stylists and human stylists, and AI stylists have done pretty well. Maybe one day we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI stylists first. 1．What do the team of people do for AI stylists? A．Control the data set of outfits. B．Test AI stylists’ fashion advice. C．Connect AI stylists with the Internet. D．Find pictures and words about clothing. 2．Which of the following might be a challenge for an AI stylist? A．Comparing users from different cultures. B．Suggesting something new for users to try. C．Picking out important information about clothing. D．Choosing different styles for users from different countries. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...) A．①②③/④⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①/②/③/④⑤ D．①/②/③④/⑤ 4．What does the writer think of the future of AI stylists? A．Bright. B．Uncertain. C．Worrying. D．Meaningless. Passage 6 When you find math hard, you usually ask teachers or parents for help. But now, doctors can help you too! On Oct 8, Shanghai opened a special clinic (门诊) for children who have problems with math and spatial (空间的) understanding. On that day, six students went there with their parents. At the clinic, doctors checked how well the students understood math and their spatial skills, and then made plans to help them learn better. They even had special educational games with VR and AR technologies to help students. A recent study found that about 8.97 percent of children at primary school on the Chinese mainland (中国大陆) have trouble with math and spatial skills, reported Shanghai Daily. Among them, 11.57 percent are in low grades, 10.07 percent are in middle grades and 4.76 percent are in high grades. The clinic is open every Tuesday. It’s very popular with days getting fully booked. Special clinics for helping with learning problems are becoming common in China, especially in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Nanjing. However, experts remind parents that these clinics may help students, but they can’t magically (神奇地) turn them into top students. It’s more important to have realistic (实际的) expectations. Shi Ping from Tianjin Children’s Hospital told China Daily that putting too much pressure on kids can sometimes make learning harder. Parents should think about how they teach their kids and consider making some changes. After all, just as an expert said, “Doing well in school shouldn’t be the only thing that matters in a child’s life.” 1．The special clinic in Shanghai was opened to ________. A．provide free math courses for B．help children build interest in math C．help children with math difficulties D．do research on children’s learning abilities 2．What can we learn from the recent study? A．Few children have strong spatial skills. B．Younger kids are more likely to have trouble with math. C．Over 10 percent of children have problems with math. D．Math problems mostly happen to primary school children. 3．What advice does Shi Ping give to parents? A．Focus more on children’s mental health. B．Encourage their children to work harder. C．Change how they teach their children. D．Children sometimes need some pressure. 4．What do the experts think about the clinic? A．It doesn’t help much with math problems. B．People shouldn’t expect it to solve all problems. C．Parents and children depend too much on it. D．Working hard on math weighs more than going to a clinic. 三、阅读理解之信息还原 Passage 1 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Crying brings advantages to both your body and mind. 1 It also helps keep your eyes clean. Crying is like giving your eyes a good wash from the inside. Moreover, it can help you sleep better. 2 When you are happy, you may not often think of crying.

Scientists have found out happy crying may happen in the following situations: ◇ 3 When you have some bad feelings that haven’t been noticed for a long time, and they are not allowed to be expressed, happy crying happens. That is to say, even when you experience something happy, the bad feelings that haven’t been noticed or dealt with will still make you cry. ◇When you are unable to keep yourself in good condition Crying can help you manage strong moods or feelings. Some happy moments can also bring you strong feelings and you may find it hard to control (控制) them. 1 When you cry, it feels like you are driving some bad or terrible feelings away from your body.

Passage 2 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teenagers often experience ups and downs in emotions. Sometimes negative (消极的) emotions from present schoolwork and worries about future are with us. 1 They even influence a person’s confidence greatly and make it hard to realize dreams. For example, people who think“I can’t do this” or “I doubt my skills” may fail to finish their tasks. This is one reason why it’s important to know some negative emotions and find ways that change them for the better. 2 . Sometimes they can be so sudden and powerful that it’s hard to know exactly what you’re experiencing. The best way is to stop for a short time and think for a moment when you notice yourself feeling unhappy. Try to name what emotion it is and say to yourself, “I feel angry, sad, or worried.” 3 If you’re unhappy but aren’t quite sure why, it can help to talk to someone you  trust, like a close friend or family members who can keep a secret. 4 If you have much difficulty talking about your feelings or you think people cannot understand you, keep a diary, draw or paint, or do something else that helps you get through hard times. 5 If you spend time finding out more about your feelings, you will become skilled at solving the emotional problems as they come up. A．It takes practice to know about emotions. B．Talking things over can also help deal with your feelings. C．Devoting yourself to something positive can help lift your mood. D．You should always believe yourself when you want to give up. E．By doing this, you will be able to know your emotions better and understand your problems more clearly. F．When negative thoughts and feelings appear, they may be harmful to many parts of life. G．Anyway, expressing your feelings in a proper way instead of hiding them deep in your heart is a good choice! Passage 3 When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions. So you should be careful of decision making. Even one small choice can make a big difference. 1 Here is some advice for you. Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry or sad. 2 If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly. Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision. 1 And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help. The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffett’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. 2 How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes? How about in 10 months? How about in 10 years? Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be. 3 Enjoy the learning process, and use it as a stepping stone to make wiser decisions in the future. A．Ask your parents and teachers for help. B．Try to make a list of the choices you have first. C．However, it’s not easy to make the right decision. D．Nowadays, some AI tools can give us much information. E．It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions. F．Learning from mistakes is an important part of one’s growth. G．Staying in high spirits can influence your ability to make a good decision.

The book won six awards. It has been translated into several languages, including English, German and French. It was made into a film in 2003. The book is about a 12-year-old boy called David and his journey to Denmark after he got away from a Nazi camp. His only friend John died some time before, but since then one of the guards had looked after him and made sure he had enough food. One day, the guard let David escape. He left a bag with some bread and cheese outside of the fence and told David to travel north. After that, David met many people who told him about life outside of the camp. He slowly realized how beautiful the world could be and began to communicate with different people. He saved a girl named Maria from a fire, and she let David spend some time in her home. During his stay, David saw a globe (地球仪) and learnt about different countries. He decided to continue travelling because Maria’s parents are talking about his Nazi camp experience. Later, David saw a newspaper advertisement about him which was placed by his parents. He wrote a letter to tell them he was OK. Later he knew an old lady called Sophia. At the old lady’s home, he saw a picture of a woman in Copenhagen (哥本哈根). David realized he should go to Copenhagen because the woman was his mother. When he finally arrived at her door, he simply said “I am David”, and his mother knew he was her long lost son. （☆每题答案不超过9个单词） 1．When was the book made into a film? 2．Who helped David escape? 3．What did he see and learn about during Maria’s home stay? 4．Did David write a letter to his parents? 5．Where were David’s parents at that time? Passage 2 阅读短文，回答问题（每题答案不超过6个单词）。 Did you look out of a window today? Many glass factories make windows. They mix old and new glass together for this. Machines heat the sand mixture to a very high temperature. Then they pour the melted glass into a tray (托盘). This tray moves between rollers to make the glass flat. The trays make the glass into a window shape. It is slowly heated and cooled more than one time to make it stronger. It is very hot in a glass factory. People can’t work there, but machines can. Machines do much of the work in making windows because the heat does not hurt them. A machine can also be used to make glass bottles. It melts glass and puts it into a mold in the shape of a bottle. Air goes into an opening in the bottle shape. Then the glass cools and becomes hard. The bottle must be heated and cooled again very slowly to make it stronger. If it is heated and cooled too fast, the glass will break. Glass bottles are very helpful, they are often used everywhere to hold drinks and food. They are good for storing things so that we use all of the time. As you can see, many things can be made out of glass. Next time you look out of a window or drink from a glass, think about where it came from! 1．What do glass factories use to make windows? 2．How can we make the glass flat? 3．Why can’t we heat or cool the bottles too fast? 4．What can we use glass bottles to do? 5．Try to give the passage a suitable title. Passage 3 阅读与回答问题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict (巴以冲突) has lasted for some time, as a result, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have to leave their homes and thousands of them have died.What is worrying is that this conflict, which can be traced back (追溯) more than 70 years ago, is becoming worse and worse. Now, the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip. Over 2 million Palestinians live there. In order to eat away at Palestinian land and prevent Palestinians, Israel has built a long wall. In 1947, a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine. These Jews held up a sign, which read, “The Germans have destroyed our homeland, please do not destroy our hope.” Arabs (阿拉伯人) took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War 2, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn’t expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country. After realizing what the Jewish people wanted, Arab leaders said, “We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war (占领) our land?” However, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it. Later, conflicts often broke out between the two sides. It’s worth mentioning that today, the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian’s. The Jewish people have seized most of Palestinian land. The Palestinians received unfair treatment. They were forced to leave their own homes. Most of them can only live in refugee (难民) camps in the Gaza Strip. What’s even worse, these Palestinians live a hard and hopeless life and are unable to make their voices heard by the outside world. 1．When was the first Palestinian-Israeli conflict? 2．Who destroyed the Jews’ homeland during World War Ⅱ? 3．What did the Jews want to build after they arrived in Palestine? 4．Which country’s area is smaller, Israel’s or Palestine’s? 5．What do you think of a war?（请自拟一句话作答） 五、任务型阅读之阅读填表 Passage 1 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案填写在答题卡的相应横线上。 This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder. The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty (新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, get a job—but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels “long”. But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life. One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings. But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, and the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring. You need to believe in yourself. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel (新颖的). You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you’ll make your life longer—without magic pills or creative medical technology. How to stop time 1 up The problem It is not a common truth to anyone who is 2 25 years old that time seems to go faster as life goes on. The 3 you get, the faster time races by. The 4 of the problem When things become usual in our life, it might be 5 for you to pay attention to them and so on time passes by. So, experiencing something fresh and special can make you 6 things longer. Advice on how to solve the problem ●It takes you a lot of efforts to use your brain when trying new things, making you feel that your life is longer and 7 more to you. ●Changing something a little can also make a 8 to your feelings. ●Learning to meditate helps people 9 their concentration and take in more information from boring experiences. Conclusion Trust yourself. 10 there might be no new medical technology, you can still live a bit more novel life and experiencing slow flow of time actually makes your life longer. Passage 2 任务型阅读。阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后的表格。（每空一词） Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. I never believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers. His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves”. It describes how people’s future life will be: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become. A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams. Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try. First of all, just take action. If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal. Secondly, when you have a goal, share it. A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals more easily than those who didn’t share their goals. If more friends know about your goal, it is more possible for you to achieve it. That finding was true for all goals. Finally, get advice from the people who you haven’t spoken to in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely (可能) to offer it than those closest to you. So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed. Lead-in ◆ I had an 11 with a successful advertising man who dreamed of being a writer in fact. ◆ 2 I believed he couldn’t make it, he published over 100 books ten years later.

Tourists and local people have been sharing photos and videos after discovering them. “Why are they here?” Many people wonder. The first mysterious mini door appeared in the centre of Brisbane in 2017. It is red and just a few centimeters in height. Since then, more and more mini doors have been found all over the city. The mini doors are the works of Mace Robertson. The Australian artist calls them “fairy (精灵) doors”. And he recently says that he has created so many mini doors that he himself cannot even remember exactly how many there are. Robertson started to create the series after seeing mini doors in many other cities. One woman from Georgia in the USA kept the fairy door tradition (传统) alive for years. Some European cities then started to do the same thing. “I thought Brisbane needed more art,” Robertson says. “So, I decided to make mini doors, too.” Kids certainly love the mini doors. Some have even left notes for the “fairies”. And people of all ages in Brisbane start to take part in the sport of discovering the mini doors. And Robertson says there is no sign that he’ll stop—we can only expect to see more “fairy doors” in the future!

Her mother, Mrs. Barry won’t let Diana play with any little girl who isn’t nice or good.” “I hope her hair isn’t red. It’s 3 enough to have red hair, freckles and grey eyes myself.” “Diana has black eyes and black hair. She is pretty.” Anne became interested in her new “friend”. “Oh, I’m so glad she’s pretty. I can’t be beautiful so a 4 best friend is wonderful.” Anne continued, “I had two imaginary friends. At Mrs. Thomas’ house, I used to 5 my reflection in the mirror was another little girl, Katie Maurice. Then I went to live with Mrs. Hammond. I had another imaginary friend, Violetta, and I loved her almost as well as I loved Katie Maurice.” “You need a real 6 friend to stop your crazy imaginations,” Marilla said. The next 7 , Marilla took Anne to Diana’s home. Diana was a very pretty girl, with her mother’s black eyes and hair. Mrs. Barry said, “Diana, take Anne out into the garden and show her your flowers.” Outside in the garden, stood Anne and Diana, looking 8 at each other over a cluster of bluebells.

It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 1 way as a larger group. This 2 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups. People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 3 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 4 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct (本能) drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” 5 it is not necessarily true. For certain individuals, 6 for social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction (上瘾): in order to satisfy the desire (渴望), they may go too far and 7 their sense of right and wrong. Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 8 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 9 the peers. 10 , peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends do well in 11 may be motivated to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult develop a good habit or drop a bad one. Although peer pressure is sometimes quite 12 , some people may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, such as choosing a career path or deciding on a major investment, simply going with an instinct is 13 . Instead, people should seriously consider 14 they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests? They should also consider whether the real 15 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing.

However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” Hu told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes. In fact, during times of fast economic development, the rate of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries. For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year. Even so, the government has taken measures to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped. Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper. 1．Hu Xie might agree that ________. A．nearly half of China’s cities are sinking B．land subsidence is not a problem at all C．the sinking of certain areas matters most D．many cities have areas of sinking and uplift 2．What is the major cause of land subsidence in China according to the passage? A．Water pollution. B．High buildings. C．The use of groundwater. D．The South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 3．What measure has Shanghai taken to stop land subsidence? A．Using less groundwater. B．Using water from southern cities. C．Encouraging people to use more water. D．Using recycled water. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show the rate of land subsidence in China. B．To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. C．To explain the different causes of land subsidence. D．To discuss land subsidence and present solutions. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 【详解】本文主要讨论了地面沉降的原因及其应对措施。 1．观点态度题。根据“Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),”可以推测出胡谢认为许多城市都有地面沉降和上升。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it.”可知，中国地面沉降的主要原因是地下水的使用。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Shanghai…efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells (井),”可知，上海采取的方法是减少地下水的使用。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“the government has taken methods to slow down the sinking”及文章整体内容，本文讨论地面沉降问题并提出解决方案。故选D。 Passage 2 On July 31st, 2024, in the final of women’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving at the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan performed outstandingly and won the championship with a total score of 359.10.

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow, a crow.” After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love.

But now Digital Technology is offering us an opportunity to listen to the sounds in the nature in powerful ways, making us get closer to the worlds of animals and plants. All around the nature, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose of attracting baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! To pick up sounds humans are normally unable to hear, scientists have placed listening devices in these environments. Researchers have attached (连接) tiny microphones to honeybees and turtles, and stuck listening posts that can receive different sound waves from coral reefs and trees. These devices are controlled by computers and networked with digital sensors and satellites. When interconnected, these digital devices work like a hearing aid: enabling humans to observe and record nature’s sounds beyond the limits of our own listening ability. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meanings. With this technology, humans can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, a team of researchers in Germany decoded the honeybees’ behavior with AI. Then they taught tiny robots how to do the honeybee dance. Using these dancing machines, the scientists were able to order the honeybees to stop moving, and to communicate where to fly to collect a specific nectar. In addition to the possibility of speaking with animals, the research could also be used to create a form of healing for animals and plants. That’s to say, in the near future, scientists might be able to get coral to grow in certain areas by playing “healthy reef” sounds, which could help some of the damage we have caused to become healthy again. Now, Digital Technology provides a new way for humans to listen to the lively sounds all around us. The dream of allowing humans to communicate with different animals and plants throughout the nature is being on its way. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about listening devices? A．AI can help to explain the meanings of nature’s sounds. B．The hearing aid collects the sounds from the animals or plants. C．Scientists need to connect the devices with computers and networks. D．The devices can record nature’s sounds beyond people’s listening ability. 2．Which is the right order to pick up the sounds from the nature for scientists? a. Analyze the meanings with the help of AI. b. Place listening devices into the nature world. c. Collect the sounds from the animals or plants. d. Connect the devices with computers and networks. A．c→d→b→a B．b→c→d→a C．c→b→a→d D．b→d→c →a 3．What can you infer from the last paragraph? A．Scientists are likely to discover a new way of recording. B．Humans will have better communication with the nature. C．It’s possible for people to dance with the honeybee together. D．Digital Technology can be used to communicate with anything. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss how to control listening devices. B．To compare different ways for communication. C．To introduce a technology to get closer to the nature. D．To suggest how to improve people’s listening ability. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【详解】本文介绍了科学家通过放置监听设备来倾听生物的声音，为我们提供一个强有力的方式倾听非人类的声音的机会，让我们更接近动物和植物世界。 1．细节理解题。根据“these digital devices work like a hearing aid: enabling humans to observe and record nature’s sounds beyond the limits of our own listening ability.”可知，数字设备能收集自然界中的声音，它们就像助听器一样，而不是“助听器收集动物或植物的声音”，B项错误。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“To pick up sounds humans are normally unable to hear, scientists have placed listening devices in these environments.”可知先将听力设备放在大自然中，b项应排第一；根据第三段“These devices are controlled by computers and networked with digital sensors and satellites.”可知要将设备与计算机和网络连接，d项应排第二；根据第三段“When interconnected, these digital devices work like a hearing aid: enabling humans to observe and record nature’s sounds beyond the limits of our own listening ability.”可知将设备与计算机和网络连接后，要收集记录声音，c项应排第三；根据第三段“After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meanings.”可知声音记录下来后，借助人工智能分析意义，a项排第四。故选D。 3． 推理判断题。根据“The dream of allowing humans to communicate with different animals and plants throughout the nature is being on its way”可知，人类与自然界中不同的动物和植物交流的梦想正在实现，由此推出人类将更好地与自然交流。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了科学家通过放置监听设备来倾听生物的声音，为我们提供一个强有力的方式倾听非人类的声音的机会，让我们更接近动物和植物世界。选项C“介绍一种接近大自然的技术”符合题意，故选C。 Passage 5 Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online to find the right one. Sounds really hard, doesn’t it? Well, with the help of AI stylists, it’s not so hard any more. An AI stylist can help people choose outfits. It searches for pictures of clothes online and collects thousands of outfits created by human stylists. It can also understand words and pick out important information about each piece of clothing. It keeps all the pictures and words in a data set. Then, the AI stylist gives people fashion ideas according to what they like. A team of people look after the data set (数据集) and make sure it always has the newest information. They help the AI stylist get better at choosing clothes by improving its rules. The AI stylist can also suggest something new to try, even if it’s a little different from what the user usually wears. People often like to try something new! An AI stylist can run into problems when people from different cultures use it. What is popular in Asia may be different from what is cool in Europe. The AI stylist should know what is popular in each place and change its advice to match people’s wants in different places. So, people make rules for AI stylists to follow. Different countries can change these rules to match different styles. An AI stylist also has to keep up with “fashion rules”. Sometimes, certain clothes don’t go well together. It is difficult for the AI stylist to understand. So another AI model that can understand the cut, style and colour of outfits adds that information to the data set. People have compared (比较) outfits by AI stylists and human stylists, and AI stylists have done pretty well. Maybe one day we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI stylists first. 1．What do the team of people do for AI stylists? A．Control the data set of outfits. B．Test AI stylists’ fashion advice. C．Connect AI stylists with the Internet. D．Find pictures and words about clothing. 2．Which of the following might be a challenge for an AI stylist? A．Comparing users from different cultures. B．Suggesting something new for users to try. C．Picking out important information about clothing. D．Choosing different styles for users from different countries. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...)

But now, doctors can help you too! On Oct 8, Shanghai opened a special clinic (门诊) for children who have problems with math and spatial (空间的) understanding. On that day, six students went there with their parents. At the clinic, doctors checked how well the students understood math and their spatial skills, and then made plans to help them learn better. They even had special educational games with VR and AR technologies to help students. A recent study found that about 8.97 percent of children at primary school on the Chinese mainland (中国大陆) have trouble with math and spatial skills, reported Shanghai Daily. Among them, 11.57 percent are in low grades, 10.07 percent are in middle grades and 4.76 percent are in high grades. The clinic is open every Tuesday. It’s very popular with days getting fully booked. Special clinics for helping with learning problems are becoming common in China, especially in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Nanjing. However, experts remind parents that these clinics may help students, but they can’t magically (神奇地) turn them into top students. It’s more important to have realistic (实际的) expectations. Shi Ping from Tianjin Children’s Hospital told China Daily that putting too much pressure on kids can sometimes make learning harder. Parents should think about how they teach their kids and consider making some changes. After all, just as an expert said, “Doing well in school shouldn’t be the only thing that matters in a child’s life.” 1．The special clinic in Shanghai was opened to ________. A．provide free math courses for B．help children build interest in math C．help children with math difficulties D．do research on children’s learning abilities 2．What can we learn from the recent study? A．Few children have strong spatial skills. B．Younger kids are more likely to have trouble with math. C．Over 10 percent of children have problems with math. D．Math problems mostly happen to primary school children. 3．What advice does Shi Ping give to parents? A．Focus more on children’s mental health. B．Encourage their children to work harder. C．Change how they teach their children. D．Children sometimes need some pressure. 4．What do the experts think about the clinic? A．It doesn’t help much with math problems. B．People shouldn’t expect it to solve all problems. C．Parents and children depend too much on it. D．Working hard on math weighs more than going to a clinic. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 【详解】本文主要介绍了上海开设的帮助儿童学习数学的诊所。 1．细节理解题。根据“On Oct 8, Shanghai opened a special clinic (门诊) for children who have problems with math and spatial (空间的) understanding.”可知，开设这个特殊诊所的目的是帮助儿童解决数学困难。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Among them, 11.57 percent are in low grades, 10.07 percent are in middle grades and 4.76 percent are in high grades.”可知，年幼的孩子更有可能在数学方面遇到困难。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Parents should think about how they teach their kids and consider making some changes.”可知，施平给家长们的建议是改变他们教育孩子的方式。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“However, experts remind parents that these clinics may help students, but they can’t magically (神奇地) turn them into top students.”可推知，人们不应该指望它能解决所有问题。故选B。 三、阅读理解之信息还原 Passage 1 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Crying brings advantages to both your body and mind. 1 It also helps keep your eyes clean.

Passage 2 阅读短文，回答问题（每题答案不超过6个单词）。 Did you look out of a window today? Many glass factories make windows. They mix old and new glass together for this. Machines heat the sand mixture to a very high temperature. Then they pour the melted glass into a tray (托盘). This tray moves between rollers to make the glass flat. The trays make the glass into a window shape. It is slowly heated and cooled more than one time to make it stronger. It is very hot in a glass factory. People can’t work there, but machines can. Machines do much of the work in making windows because the heat does not hurt them. A machine can also be used to make glass bottles. It melts glass and puts it into a mold in the shape of a bottle. Air goes into an opening in the bottle shape. Then the glass cools and becomes hard. The bottle must be heated and cooled again very slowly to make it stronger. If it is heated and cooled too fast, the glass will break. Glass bottles are very helpful, they are often used everywhere to hold drinks and food. They are good for storing things so that we use all of the time. As you can see, many things can be made out of glass. Next time you look out of a window or drink from a glass, think about where it came from! 1．What do glass factories use to make windows? 2．How can we make the glass flat? 3．Why can’t we heat or cool the bottles too fast? 4．What can we use glass bottles to do? 5．Try to give the passage a suitable title. 【答案】1．Old and new glass. 2．By moving the tray between rollers. 3．(Because) the glass will break. 4．To hold drinks or food./For storing thing. 5．Glass windows and bottles./How to make windows and bottles./Where are windows and bottles from. （答案合理即可赋分） 【详解】本文讲了玻璃窗和瓶子是如何制造的。 1．根据“Many glass factories make windows.

Passage 3 阅读与回答问题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict (巴以冲突) has lasted for some time, as a result, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have to leave their homes and thousands of them have died.What is worrying is that this conflict, which can be traced back (追溯) more than 70 years ago, is becoming worse and worse. Now, the conflict is happening in the Gaza Strip. Over 2 million Palestinians live there. In order to eat away at Palestinian land and prevent Palestinians, Israel has built a long wall. In 1947, a group of Jews from Europe arrived at a port in Palestine. These Jews held up a sign, which read, “The Germans have destroyed our homeland, please do not destroy our hope.” Arabs (阿拉伯人) took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War 2, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn’t expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country. After realizing what the Jewish people wanted, Arab leaders said, “We do feel sorry for the hardships that Jews experienced during the war (占领) our land?” However, with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Jews built a state of Israel though Arabs were against it. Later, conflicts often broke out between the two sides. It’s worth mentioning that today, the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian’s. The Jewish people have seized most of Palestinian land. The Palestinians received unfair treatment. They were forced to leave their own homes. Most of them can only live in refugee (难民) camps in the Gaza Strip. What’s even worse, these Palestinians live a hard and hopeless life and are unable to make their voices heard by the outside world. 1．When was the first Palestinian-Israeli conflict? 2．Who destroyed the Jews’ homeland during World War Ⅱ? 3．What did the Jews want to build after they arrived in Palestine? 4．Which country’s area is smaller, Israel’s or Palestine’s? 5．What do you think of a war?（请自拟一句话作答） 【答案】1．More than 70 years ago. 2．The Germans have destroyed their homeland. 3．A Jewish country. 4．Palestine’s. 5．The war is such a disaster. 【详解】文章介绍了巴以冲突的相关信息。 1．根据第一段“What is worrying is that this conflict, which can be traced back more than 70 years ago, is becoming worse and worse.”可知，第一次巴以冲突是在70多年前。故填More than 70 years ago. 2．根据第三段“These Jews held up a sign, which read, ‘The Germans have destroyed ourhomeland, please do not destroy our hope.’”可知，二战期间是德国人摧毁了犹太人的家园。故填The Germanshave destroyed their homeland. 3．根据第四段“Arabs took pity on the Jews’ experiences during World War 2, they welcomed this group of newcomers who had come from faraway places. But they didn’t expect that these Jews came here to build a Jewish country.”可知，犹太人去那里是为了建立一个犹太国家。故填A Jewish country. 4．根据第七段“It’s worth mentioning that today, the area of Israel is far larger than Palestinian’s.”可知，巴勒斯坦更小。故填Palestine’s. 5．观点态度题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：The war is such a disaster. 五、任务型阅读之阅读填表 Passage 1 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案填写在答题卡的相应横线上。 This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder. The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty (新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, get a job—but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels “long”. But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life. One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings. But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, and the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring. You need to believe in yourself. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel (新颖的). You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you’ll make your life longer—without magic pills or creative medical technology. How to stop time 1 up The problem It is not a common truth to anyone who is 2 25 years old that time seems to go faster as life goes on. The 3 you get, the faster time races by. The 4 of the problem When things become usual in our life, it might be 5 for you to pay attention to them and so on time passes by. So, experiencing something fresh and special can make you 6 things longer.

He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. I never believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers. His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves”. It describes how people’s future life will be: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become. A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams. Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try. First of all, just take action. If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal. Secondly, when you have a goal, share it. A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals more easily than those who didn’t share their goals. If more friends know about your goal, it is more possible for you to achieve it. That finding was true for all goals. Finally, get advice from the people who you haven’t spoken to in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely (可能) to offer it than those closest to you. So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.

He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact.”可知，几年前，“我”采访了一位成功的广告人，他告诉“我”他梦想成为一名作家。结合表格“I had an...with a successful advertising man ”可知，此处应使用短语had an interview with sb.“采访了某人”，所以空处应填名词interview“采访”。故填interview。 2．根据第一段“I never believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers.”可知，“我”从不相信他会成功，但十年后他出版了100多本畅销书。结合表格“...I believed he couldn’t make it, he published over 100 books ten years later.”可知，前后句是让步关系，应用though或although引导此让步状语从句，句首首字母要大写。故填Though/Although。 3．根据第二段“It describes how people’s future life will be”可知，它描述了人们未来的生活将是什么样子。结合表格“It describes...people’s future life will be like.”可知，此处应使用what...will be like“……将是什么样子”。故填what。 4．根据第三段“A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams.”可知，一个可能的自我能让你超越白日梦。结合表格“A possible self can bring you...daydreams.”可知，介词beyond“超出”符合语境。故填beyond。 5．根据第三段“Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from your ‘now’ self to your possible self.”可知，如果你在“现在”的自己和可能的自己之间架起一座桥梁，你的梦想就能实现。结合表格“Your dream will be...if you build a bridge between your ‘’now’ self and your possible self.”可知，空处意为“实现”，英文表达是achieve或realize，主语dream与动词achieve或realize之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，结构为be done，所以空处应填achieve或realize的过去分词achieved或realized。故填achieved/realized。 6．根据第三段“Here are a few steps you can try.”以及表格中“◆Firstly, take action...◆ Secondly...your goal...◆ Thirdly, ask for advice.”可知，表格这一栏介绍的是一些你可以尝试的步骤，所以空处应填名词step“步骤”的复数形式steps。故填steps。 7．根据第四段“If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job.”可知，如果你的梦想是成功获得一份特定的工作，参加一个课程，从把这种类型的工作作为业余爱好或副业开始。结合表格“If you dream of getting a certain job...take a course in it and start the work as a hobby or a side job.”可知，空处应填副词successfully“成功地”，用于修饰动词getting。故填successfully。 8．根据第五段“Secondly, when you have a goal, share it.”可知，其次，当你有了目标，就去分享它。结合表格“Secondly...your goal.”可知，空处意为“分享”，应用动词share，此处是祈使句的肯定形式，所以share保持原形。故填share。 9．根据第五段“A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals more easily than those who didn’t share their goals.”可知，一项研究发现，向朋友发送每周进度的成年人比那些没有分享目标的人更容易完成目标。结合表格“A study found it...for the adults to achieve their goals by sharing them than those who didn’t.”可知，此处应用“find it+形容词+for sb. to do sth.”结构，再结合句中的“than”可知，空处应用形容词比较级，形容词easy“容易的”的比较级easier符合语境。故填easier。 10．根据最后一段“A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely (可能) to offer it than those closest to you.”可知，大量研究发现，当你寻求有价值的建议时，你更广泛的人际网络中的人比你最亲近的人更有可能提供建议。结合表格“People in your wider network are more likely to offer you advice of great...”可知，此处应表示你更广泛的人际网络中的人更有可能给你提供有价值的建议。great为形容词，其后修饰名词，所以名词value“价值”符合语境。故填value。 Passage 3 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后的表格内填入最恰当的单词，每个空格只能填一个单词。 Recently, people in Brisbane, Australia have shown great interest in a series of mini doors in their streets.

The mini doors are the works of Mace Robertson. The Australian artist calls them “fairy (精灵) doors”. And he recently says that he has created so many mini doors that he himself cannot even remember exactly how many there are. Robertson started to create the series after seeing mini doors in many other cities. One woman from Georgia in the USA kept the fairy door tradition (传统) alive for years. Some European cities then started to do the same thing. “I thought Brisbane needed more art,” Robertson says. “So, I decided to make mini doors, too.” Kids certainly love the mini doors. Some have even left notes for the “fairies”. And people of all ages in Brisbane start to take part in the sport of discovering the mini doors.
