The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever she found Peking Opera on TV, she watched another program. Like most of today’s teenagers, she preferred pop music and changed TV channels (频道) when operas played, thinking they were for older people. This changed when her school introduced Peking Opera classes. Every week, a teacher taught students famous operas 8and the four main roles: sheng (male), dan (female), jing (colorful-faced male), and chou (comic roles). They learned basic movements like waving sleeves (衣袖) and special steps. “At first, the singing was too high and rhythms (节奏) were tricky. We laughed trying to copy it,” Dou said. But with practice, the music became meaningful. They discovered operas tell stories—some about heroes, others about poems. Many Chinese schools teach Peking Opera to share traditions. Dou’s school organizes performances where students act out scenes. “I didn’t know operas included history,” she said. “One even has a Tang Dynasty poem! It’s like fun history lessons.” Now, Dou and her classmates enjoy Peking Opera. They discuss it during breaks and sing parts together. “I used to think traditions were old-fashioned, but they’re part of us,” she explained. “If we keep learning, this art won’t fade. It’s our treasure!” Through school, Dou found beauty in Peking Opera. She hopes more teens will try it. “Understanding our culture makes us proud of who we are,” she smiled. 1．What did Dou Yi use to do when Peking Opera was on TV? A．She watched it carefully.

Last week, the school newspaper asked the students about them. Here are some of the replies. ②Xue Mei, 13 I fell in love with paper cutting as soon as I watched it on TV. This year, I have time to learn it in our local art museum on weekends. Now I am able to make a lot of wonderful paper cuttings. I also teach my classmates to do it. I hope that our traditional Chinese art can be passed down from one to another. ③Wang Yan,14 My father tells me that food is the first necessity of man. This spring, I grew some tomatoes and corn with the help of him. While working in the field, I feel close to nature. It’s hard but meaningful to look after my plants. I believe that the food grown by myself must be the most delicious. ④Wen Man,14 I spend every weekend working in my uncle’s pet shop. There I care for the pets and play with them. When I help the homeless animals find warm-hearted owners, I get a strong feeling of satisfaction. Working at the pet shop is tiring but interesting. I hope to have my own pet shop some day. ⑤Tian Hao,15 I’m a ping-pong lover. Without so much homework, I can practice it with my classmates more often. Now my ping-pong skills have improved a lot.

When they walked into the restaurant, they heard beautiful violin music. A violinist was standing in a corner of the restaurant, playing with all her heart. The customers in the restaurant were all lost in the wonderful music. While enjoying the music, Miller’s memories came into his mind. He remembered that he had once been crazy about the violin. Back then, he spent a lot of time practicing the violin every day. Every time he played, he could feel the joy and satisfaction deep in his heart. However, as time went by, he gradually put most of his energy into business and had to give up his beloved violin in order to go after his career (事业). At that moment, he couldn’t help but say to his father, “If I had kept up with the violin, maybe I would be playing here now.” “Yes, my child,” his father nodded, his eyes full of love and understanding. Then his father continued to say slowly, “But in that case, you wouldn’t be dining here now.” Life is full of different choices. People can take completely different paths and live quite different lives. But everyone should keep this in mind: There is no “if” in life and every choice has its meaning. The best thing to do is to value the present moment. 1．What did Blake Miller and his father go to the restaurant for? A．Having meeting with his friends. B．Enjoying a fine meal. C．Discussing a business plan. D．Listening to the violin music 2．Why did Blake Miller give up playing the violin? A．Because he lost interest in it. B．Because he wasn’t good at playing the violin. C．Because his father asked him to focus on his business. D．Because he didn’t have enough energy due to his business. 3．How did Blake Miller feel about giving up the violin? A．Satisfied. B．Regretful. C．Relaxed. D．Proud. 4．What does the writer want to tell us about the present moment? A．We should learn important lesson from the past. B．We should focus more on playing for the future. C．Valuing the present moment is important in life. D．The future is more worth considering than the present. 4 In the past, when talking about hobbies, most elderly people would mention gardening. But now, more and more young people are also finding a love for plants. Why do young people keep plants? ● For vegetables  ● For better air quality ● To reduce pressure  ● To make homes beautiful What plants do young people like? In today’s society, young people have lots of choices when it comes to plants. Ferns are popular for their small and beautiful leaves and add beauty to indoor spaces. Waterweeds are liked by some for their uniqueness (独特性). Roses, with their fragrance (芳香), are always a classic choice. Arrowroot is also liked by those who like its practical uses. Each plant has its own characteristic, meeting different tastes and interests of young people. Practical Tips for New Gardeners1. Begin with a few easy-to-grow plants or a small garden bed. This will make the process more manageable. 2. Use gardening as a time to keep yourselves away from smartphones and be present in the moment. Pay attention to the sensory (感官的) experiences—the feel of the soil, the fragrance of the flowers, the sound of the birds. 3. Connect with other gardeners through local clubs or social media groups. Sharing experiences and tips can spread the joy of gardening and provide a sense of community. 1．Why do young people keep plants according to the text? A．To have a strong body.

Actually, there are some things we can do to have a healthier relationship with time. The first step is to be aware of how you spend your time. Record your time for a week or two to see where it’s going. Once we know where our time is going, we can start to make changes. We choose to spend our time according to what is important to us, but many of us do this without thinking. Sit down and make a list of the most important things you want to spend time on in your life. This will help you make choices in the future. Once we know how we spend our time, and what we want to spend time on, we can start to make adjustments and set rules. This means putting away things that are not of much importance and making time for the things that are important. One of the best ways to have a healthy relationship with time is to learn to enjoy the present moment. Take time to enjoy the little things in life, such as a beautiful sunset or a good conversation with friends. Every hour we are alive is a gift. 1．What should we do to know how we spend time? A．Make a list before. B．Ask people around us. C．Sit down and think over. D．Record for one or two weeks. 2．Why should we make a list of the most important things? A．To save more time. B．To enjoy the present. C．To choose what to do first. D．To know where time is going. 3．What does the underlined word “adjustments” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Lists. B．Plans. C．Changes. D．Mistakes. 4．What’s the text mainly about? A．How to live a healthy life. B．How to make good use of time. C．How to make an important list. D．How to get on well with friends. 6 Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets the same amount of time each day. But here are some ways to use those hours better. As a popular saying says, “Work smarter, not harder.” The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities (优先级). Make sure which of your tasks is the most important. Also, consider whether or not they are urgent (紧要的) if they need to be done right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren’t urgent, so make time for them. Decide ahead of time what you’re going to do at certain times each day. Making a timetable helps you stay organized. It means not only to meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure everything gets done. By setting certain times for different activities, you can create a good plan. Think about the time of day you work best. Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening? Schedule (安排) difficult tasks for times you feel good, saving easy ones for when you’re tired. Write down what you need to do and when. I keep two to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I’m working on. That way I can make sure I don’t forget anything. And I don’t get discouraged by looking at a long list of things I can’t finish. I focus on the shorter list of each day’s tasks. Meetings are also likely to be a waste of time, so evade them whenever possible. If you’re in charge of (负责) running a meeting, keep it short. Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time. Don’t allow it. In the end, using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it. 1．According to the text, what is the most important way to manage your time? A．Writing down tasks. B．Setting priorities. C．Making a timetable. D．Putting off meetings. 2．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A．Making a timetable helps stay organized. B．Meeting people is the most important. C．Planning different activities helps little. D．Creating new tasks seems unimportant. 3．If you’re forgetful, what would the writer suggest doing? A．Keeping diaries. B．Keeping two to-do lists. C．Making a video. D．Writing down a long list. 4．Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “evade”? A．Accept. B．Stick. C．Break. D．Avoid. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The Methods to Save Time B．The Steps to Make Plans C．The Ways to Use Time Better D．The Secrets to Running Meetings 7 A year ago, I was very disorganized. I’d get to the end of a semester at college and realized that I hadn’t achieved anything unless I continued spending hours on social media as an achievement. Luckily my family decided to get me a ticket for a time management course. I must admit, at the time I didn’t think it was the most exciting birthday present and I would have preferred a new phone. But looking back, it was a great idea. In one day, I learned so much. The trainer was fun, so it was never boring, and the day was divided into lots of different activities. We spoke about procrastination, and for the first time I had to think deeply about why I was procrastinating (拖延). I’d always thought it was because of my love for social media, but after thinking carefully I realized I was procrastinating because I was actually frightened of failing. Realizing the truth about my behavior was very helpful. The most useful part of the day for me was an activity where we learned to say “no” to people. The trainer told us that many people who struggle with time management rarely do so because they want to please other people. I realized I always said “yes” to friends who asked me to go out—even when I was stressed out and busy. One year later, I’m not the most organized person I know. However, I’m much better than I was, thanks to the best birthday present ever. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The truth that the writer was frightened to fail. B．The reason why the writer loved social media. C．The bad behavior that the writer procrastinated. D．The fact that the writer felt bored about the course. 2．What is the difference that the time management courses brought to the writer? A．He thanked his family for this present. B．He finally learned to say no to himself. C．He became the most organized person. D．He was much better than he used to be. 3．What does the writer think about his birthday present in the end? A．He thinks it’s stressful but exciting. B．He thinks it’s useful and meaningful. C．He thinks it’s boring and frightening. D．He thinks it’s expensive and difficult. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer preferred a new phone for his birthday present at first. B．The time management course was boring but the trainer was fun. C．The writer procrastinated because of his love for the social media. D．The most useful part that the writer learnt was stop procrastinating. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．We should learn to say no to people. B．The present made me the best person. C．Time manage courses brought me benefit. D．Overcoming the procrastination is important. 8 ①In today’s busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling “time poor”. Time poverty (贫穷) can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say “yes” to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying “yes” to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate. ②People who don’t have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor? ③Firstly, manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don’t realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work. ④Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. It’s important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work. ⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it. 1．Which person below will most probably experience time poverty? A．Mark spends his free time having fun with his family. B．Sue watches her favorite TV shows for long hours. C．John stays up until midnight to study for the exams. D．Kate finishes her project a week before the deadline. 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Social duties. B．Personal interests. C．Careful plans. D．Unimportant things. 3．What is the right structure of this passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To warn people about many risks of being time poor. B．To teach people how to make better use of their time. C．To remind people to spend more time with their families. D．To encourage people to stick to their plans and dreams. 9 Doing housework is a valuable skill for later life when you move out and live on your own with friends or with your own family. Here are some tips to help keep your room clean and tidy. ①________ Instead of a never-ending list of things to do, set a timer (计时器) for 5 or 10 minutes and work until it goes off. Small tasks seem much easier than big projects which go on and on. ②________ Play some music, get on a call with a friend, have the TV on in the background. It helps make housework less boring, and you may want to do it again! ③________ Repeat the same action, such as making the bed daily and cleaning the floor every two days, over and over. With time, these habits become a part of your day or week. It may take you some time to form good cleaning habits but keep going and finally you may see and feel the benefit. Find the best time of day When it’s difficult enough for you to get out of bed in time for school, adding in more tasks in the morning would make you feel down in the first place. Find the best time of day that suits you to do your chores. Make sure everything has a home Keep everything separate and easy to put away. If everything has a “home”—a place to keep your items when they are not in use, your room will stay tidy. Some examples of items that need a “home” could be arts and crafts (手工工艺) supplies, computers, and books. I hope you found these tips useful to keep your room clean and tidy. It’s certainly something that takes time and perseverance (坚持不懈) and probably won't happen overnight but the results are well worth it. 1．What does the author suggest people do about doing housework?

This was once the daily life for Chen Lingyi from Shanghai. But three years ago, Chen was surprised to find that even after trying to save money for several months, she still had no spare money. Thinking about her spending habits, Chen realized that “relaxing weekends” always meant “spending money”. To make a change, Chen and 26 friends set up The Gratis interest group in May 2022. They started a social project named “100 Ways to Enjoy a Weekend in a Big City Without Spending Money”. The 27 members, all in their 20s and from different backgrounds, including students and artists, shared a common question: Is spending money the only way to enjoy weekend activities nowadays? By sending out questionnaires (问卷) to the public, they found a number of surprising ways to enjoy weekends without spending money, such as dancing and exercising in a park with a speaker, hosting book clubs and movie screenings at home and collecting stones by the river. Among these ideas and tips, the purpose of not spending money was the main topic of consideration for The Gratis members. Feeling that there was so much to share on this topic, the members even produced a magazine called Spending Time Alone Without Spending Money. “We hope what we did can make people think and make some changes,” Chen said. 1．What did Chen learn from her past weekend activities?

This weekend Joel is helping to build a house. You can see him in the photo. He’s moving a large blue board. All the people are “weekend builders”. These “weekend builders” are from the small town of Greensburg in Kansas. A year ago, a tornado (龙卷风) hit their town. After the tornado, community started a project to build new homes. The project is 30 new homes. Joel says, “I heard about the tornado and the new project. I knew some people in Greensburg. I wanted to help.” Joel’s friends are here this weekend too. They’re on the roof. They’re working with Jill and Scott Eller. Jill and Scott are building their “dream house”.

The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever she found Peking Opera on TV, she watched another program. Like most of today’s teenagers, she preferred pop music and changed TV channels (频道) when operas played, thinking they were for older people. This changed when her school introduced Peking Opera classes. Every week, a teacher taught students famous operas 8and the four main roles: sheng (male), dan (female), jing (colorful-faced male), and chou (comic roles). They learned basic movements like waving sleeves (衣袖) and special steps. “At first, the singing was too high and rhythms (节奏) were tricky. We laughed trying to copy it,” Dou said. But with practice, the music became meaningful. They discovered operas tell stories—some about heroes, others about poems. Many Chinese schools teach Peking Opera to share traditions. Dou’s school organizes performances where students act out scenes. “I didn’t know operas included history,” she said. “One even has a Tang Dynasty poem! It’s like fun history lessons.” Now, Dou and her classmates enjoy Peking Opera. They discuss it during breaks and sing parts together. “I used to think traditions were old-fashioned, but they’re part of us,” she explained. “If we keep learning, this art won’t fade. It’s our treasure!” Through school, Dou found beauty in Peking Opera. She hopes more teens will try it. “Understanding our culture makes us proud of who we are,” she smiled. 1．What did Dou Yi use to do when Peking Opera was on TV? A．She watched it carefully. B．She invited her classmates to watch it. C．She sang along with it. D．She changed to another program. 2．What did Dou Yi and her classmates learn in Peking Opera classes? A．How to write operas.

D．Get expensive. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Dou Yi’s favorite TV programs. B．The history of Peking Opera. C．How a school program changed Dou Yi’s view on Peking Opera.

One day, he managed to spare some time and went with his father to a dining restaurant for a fine meal. When they walked into the restaurant, they heard beautiful violin music. A violinist was standing in a corner of the restaurant, playing with all her heart. The customers in the restaurant were all lost in the wonderful music. While enjoying the music, Miller’s memories came into his mind. He remembered that he had once been crazy about the violin. Back then, he spent a lot of time practicing the violin every day. Every time he played, he could feel the joy and satisfaction deep in his heart. However, as time went by, he gradually put most of his energy into business and had to give up his beloved violin in order to go after his career (事业). At that moment, he couldn’t help but say to his father, “If I had kept up with the violin, maybe I would be playing here now.” “Yes, my child,” his father nodded, his eyes full of love and understanding. Then his father continued to say slowly, “But in that case, you wouldn’t be dining here now.” Life is full of different choices. People can take completely different paths and live quite different lives. But everyone should keep this in mind: There is no “if” in life and every choice has its meaning. The best thing to do is to value the present moment. 1．What did Blake Miller and his father go to the restaurant for? A．Having meeting with his friends. B．Enjoying a fine meal. C．Discussing a business plan. D．Listening to the violin music 2．Why did Blake Miller give up playing the violin? A．Because he lost interest in it. B．Because he wasn’t good at playing the violin. C．Because his father asked him to focus on his business. D．Because he didn’t have enough energy due to his business. 3．How did Blake Miller feel about giving up the violin? A．Satisfied. B．Regretful. C．Relaxed. D．Proud. 4．What does the writer want to tell us about the present moment? A．We should learn important lesson from the past. B．We should focus more on playing for the future. C．Valuing the present moment is important in life. D．The future is more worth considering than the present. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了商人Blake Miller在餐厅听到小提琴音乐后回忆起自己放弃小提琴事业的经历，并通过父子对话引出对人生选择的思考，强调珍惜当下的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“he managed to spare some time and went with his father to a dining restaurant for a fine meal”可知，他和父亲去餐厅是为了吃饭。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“he gradually put most of his energy into business and had to give up his beloved violin in order to go after his career”可知，为了追求自己的事业，他不得不放弃心爱的小提琴，是事业导致精力不足。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第3段“If I had kept up with the violin, maybe I would be playing here now”可知，他认为如果坚持拉小提琴，也许现在就在这里演奏了。由此推知他对放弃小提琴感到遗憾。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后1段“The best thing to do is to value the present moment”可知，作者想告诉我们珍惜当下很重要。故选C。 4 In the past, when talking about hobbies, most elderly people would mention gardening.

Often, we feel a lack of (缺乏) control over it. Actually, there are some things we can do to have a healthier relationship with time. The first step is to be aware of how you spend your time. Record your time for a week or two to see where it’s going. Once we know where our time is going, we can start to make changes. We choose to spend our time according to what is important to us, but many of us do this without thinking. Sit down and make a list of the most important things you want to spend time on in your life. This will help you make choices in the future. Once we know how we spend our time, and what we want to spend time on, we can start to make adjustments and set rules. This means putting away things that are not of much importance and making time for the things that are important. One of the best ways to have a healthy relationship with time is to learn to enjoy the present moment. Take time to enjoy the little things in life, such as a beautiful sunset or a good conversation with friends. Every hour we are alive is a gift. 1．What should we do to know how we spend time? A．Make a list before. B．Ask people around us. C．Sit down and think over. D．Record for one or two weeks. 2．Why should we make a list of the most important things? A．To save more time.

Everyone gets the same amount of time each day. But here are some ways to use those hours better. As a popular saying says, “Work smarter, not harder.” The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities (优先级). Make sure which of your tasks is the most important. Also, consider whether or not they are urgent (紧要的) if they need to be done right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren’t urgent, so make time for them. Decide ahead of time what you’re going to do at certain times each day. Making a timetable helps you stay organized. It means not only to meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure everything gets done. By setting certain times for different activities, you can create a good plan. Think about the time of day you work best. Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening? Schedule (安排) difficult tasks for times you feel good, saving easy ones for when you’re tired. Write down what you need to do and when. I keep two to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I’m working on. That way I can make sure I don’t forget anything. And I don’t get discouraged by looking at a long list of things I can’t finish. I focus on the shorter list of each day’s tasks. Meetings are also likely to be a waste of time, so evade them whenever possible. If you’re in charge of (负责) running a meeting, keep it short. Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time. Don’t allow it. In the end, using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it. 1．According to the text, what is the most important way to manage your time? A．Writing down tasks. B．Setting priorities. C．Making a timetable. D．Putting off meetings. 2．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A．Making a timetable helps stay organized. B．Meeting people is the most important. C．Planning different activities helps little. D．Creating new tasks seems unimportant. 3．If you’re forgetful, what would the writer suggest doing? A．Keeping diaries. B．Keeping two to-do lists. C．Making a video. D．Writing down a long list. 4．Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “evade”? A．Accept. B．Stick. C．Break. D．Avoid. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The Methods to Save Time B．The Steps to Make Plans C．The Ways to Use Time Better D．The Secrets to Running Meetings 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一些更好利用时间的方法，包括设定任务优先级、提前规划日程、依据自身状态安排任务、记录待办事项、避免浪费时间在会议等方面，强调合理规划并坚持执行对时间管理的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities (优先级).”可知，管理时间最重要的方法是设定优先级。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day.

I keep two to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on. That way I can make sure I don’t forget anything.”可知，作者建议列两个待办事项清单。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据文中“Meetings are also likely to be a waste of time, so evade them whenever possible.”可知，会议可能浪费时间，所以要尽可能避免这种情况的发生，划线部分单词与avoid意思相近。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。根据“But here are some ways to use those hours better.”并结合全文可知，本文主要介绍了更好利用时间的方法。故选C。 7 A year ago, I was very disorganized. I’d get to the end of a semester at college and realized that I hadn’t achieved anything unless I continued spending hours on social media as an achievement. Luckily my family decided to get me a ticket for a time management course. I must admit, at the time I didn’t think it was the most exciting birthday present and I would have preferred a new phone. But looking back, it was a great idea. In one day, I learned so much. The trainer was fun, so it was never boring, and the day was divided into lots of different activities. We spoke about procrastination, and for the first time I had to think deeply about why I was procrastinating (拖延). I’d always thought it was because of my love for social media, but after thinking carefully I realized I was procrastinating because I was actually frightened of failing. Realizing the truth about my behavior was very helpful. The most useful part of the day for me was an activity where we learned to say “no” to people. The trainer told us that many people who struggle with time management rarely do so because they want to please other people. I realized I always said “yes” to friends who asked me to go out—even when I was stressed out and busy. One year later, I’m not the most organized person I know. However, I’m much better than I was, thanks to the best birthday present ever. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The truth that the writer was frightened to fail. B．The reason why the writer loved social media. C．The bad behavior that the writer procrastinated. D．The fact that the writer felt bored about the course. 2．What is the difference that the time management courses brought to the writer? A．He thanked his family for this present. B．He finally learned to say no to himself. C．He became the most organized person. D．He was much better than he used to be. 3．What does the writer think about his birthday present in the end? A．He thinks it’s stressful but exciting. B．He thinks it’s useful and meaningful. C．He thinks it’s boring and frightening. D．He thinks it’s expensive and difficult. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer preferred a new phone for his birthday present at first. B．The time management course was boring but the trainer was fun. C．The writer procrastinated because of his love for the social media. D．The most useful part that the writer learnt was stop procrastinating. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．We should learn to say no to people. B．The present made me the best person. C．Time manage courses brought me benefit. D．Overcoming the procrastination is important. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．C 【解析】本文主要讲述了作者通过参加时间管理课程，从拖延、无序的状态中逐渐改善，并认识到课程的价值。 1．词义猜测题。根据“We spoke about procrastination, and for the first time I had to think deeply about why I was procrastinating (拖延). I’d always thought it was because of my love for social media”可知，我们谈到了拖延，我第一次不得不深入思考我拖延的原因。我一直认为这是因为我对社交媒体的热爱。it指代前文提及的拖延症行为。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“However, I’m much better than I was, thanks to the best birthday present ever.”可知，作者比之前好很多了。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“thanks to the best birthday present ever”可知，作者认为这是最好的生日礼物，由此可知，他觉得这份礼物是有用和有意义的。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“I must admit, at the time I didn’t think it was the most exciting birthday present and I would have preferred a new phone.”可知，作者起初更想要手机作为礼物。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了作者通过参加时间管理课程，从拖延、无序的状态中逐渐改善，并认识到课程的价值。因此文章的主旨是时间管理课程给作者带来的收益。故选C。 8 ①In today’s busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling “time poor”. Time poverty (贫穷) can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say “yes” to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying “yes” to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate. ②People who don’t have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor? ③Firstly, manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don’t realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work. ④Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. It’s important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work. ⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it. 1．Which person below will most probably experience time poverty? A．Mark spends his free time having fun with his family. B．Sue watches her favorite TV shows for long hours. C．John stays up until midnight to study for the exams. D．Kate finishes her project a week before the deadline. 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Social duties. B．Personal interests. C．Careful plans. D．Unimportant things. 3．What is the right structure of this passage? (P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To warn people about many risks of being time poor. B．To teach people how to make better use of their time. C．To remind people to spend more time with their families. D．To encourage people to stick to their plans and dreams. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 【解析】本文主要讲述了在现代快节奏的生活中，越来越多的人们觉得时间不够用，所以文中给出了两种不浪费时间的方法。 1．细节理解题。根据“Time poverty (贫穷) can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person’s time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests.”可知，当学习、工作或社会职责占用一个人太多的时间，很少或根本没有时间用于娱乐或个人兴趣时，就会发生时间贫穷。所以C选项“约翰为了考试，熬夜学习到午夜。”符合，故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off.”可知，此处“them”指“你生活中那些现在不那么重要事情”，故选D。 3．篇章结构题。第一段介绍了什么是时间贫穷；第二段讲了时间贫穷的影响；第三段和第四段讲了如何停止变得时间贫穷；最后一段总结全文，要充分利用好时间，成为时间的主人，所以D选项符合，故选D。 4．推理判断题，本文主要讲述了在现代快节奏的生活中，越来越多的人们觉得时间不够用，所以文中给出了两种不浪费时间的方法。结合最后一段“By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it.”可知，本文主要是为了教人们如何更好地利用时间。故选B。 9 Doing housework is a valuable skill for later life when you move out and live on your own with friends or with your own family. Here are some tips to help keep your room clean and tidy. ①________ Instead of a never-ending list of things to do, set a timer (计时器) for 5 or 10 minutes and work until it goes off. Small tasks seem much easier than big projects which go on and on. ②________ Play some music, get on a call with a friend, have the TV on in the background. It helps make housework less boring, and you may want to do it again! ③________ Repeat the same action, such as making the bed daily and cleaning the floor every two days, over and over. With time, these habits become a part of your day or week. It may take you some time to form good cleaning habits but keep going and finally you may see and feel the benefit. Find the best time of day When it’s difficult enough for you to get out of bed in time for school, adding in more tasks in the morning would make you feel down in the first place. Find the best time of day that suits you to do your chores. Make sure everything has a home Keep everything separate and easy to put away. If everything has a “home”—a place to keep your items when they are not in use, your room will stay tidy. Some examples of items that need a “home” could be arts and crafts (手工工艺) supplies, computers, and books. I hope you found these tips useful to keep your room clean and tidy.

This was once the daily life for Chen Lingyi from Shanghai. But three years ago, Chen was surprised to find that even after trying to save money for several months, she still had no spare money. Thinking about her spending habits, Chen realized that “relaxing weekends” always meant “spending money”. To make a change, Chen and 26 friends set up The Gratis interest group in May 2022. They started a social project named “100 Ways to Enjoy a Weekend in a Big City Without Spending Money”. The 27 members, all in their 20s and from different backgrounds, including students and artists, shared a common question: Is spending money the only way to enjoy weekend activities nowadays? By sending out questionnaires (问卷) to the public, they found a number of surprising ways to enjoy weekends without spending money, such as dancing and exercising in a park with a speaker, hosting book clubs and movie screenings at home and collecting stones by the river. Among these ideas and tips, the purpose of not spending money was the main topic of consideration for The Gratis members. Feeling that there was so much to share on this topic, the members even produced a magazine called Spending Time Alone Without Spending Money. “We hope what we did can make people think and make some changes,” Chen said. 1．What did Chen learn from her past weekend activities? A．It is important to make more money. B．It was boring to go outside with friends. C．It cost a lot of money to continue this kind of life. D．The city didn’t provide some free spaces for people to enjoy. 2．What do we know about The Gratis members? A．They are all in their 30s and have different jobs. B．They have made a lot of money from their magazine. C．They collected ideas by sending out questionnaires. D．They share one common purpose: to be famous online. 3．In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage?
