They are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle. This idea helps us see how we spend our everyday hours. ②Every day we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle. We do important things like making money for living, doing housework to keep our home nice and paying bills for our daily needs. ③Then, we fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things we choose to do for family members or other people. For example, picking up litter in the park and chatting with the elderly at a nursing home. ④But we often forget about the third bottle—the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle we fill with things that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty (空的) at the end of the day? Because we’re busy with necessary and voluntary tasks, time goes by fast, and before we know it, it’s time for bed. ⑤This is why we should try to fill our Happiness Bottle every day. I fill mine by going to dance classes. They always make me feel good. I made friends while dancing. ⑥The big problem for us is to make sure we don’t let a day go by without filling this important bottle. We need to plan for it. ⑦Think about how you spend your time. Are you doing enough things to be happy? Or are the other tasks taking up all your time? At the end of the day, try your best to fill your Happiness Bottle. 26. What does the “Necessary Tasks Bottle” refer to according to the passage? A. A bottle used to hold important things. B. The time spent on activities like making money. C. The time for doing things we enjoy. D. The time for helping others. 27. What does the underlined word “Voluntary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Done willingly by choice. B. Dangerous. C. Necessary. D. Difficult. 28. How does the writer fill her Happiness Bottle? A. B. C. D. 29. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A To describe what the Happiness Bottle is like. B. To introduce ways to fill the Happiness Bottle. C. To share the experience of filling the Happiness Bottle. D. To tell people to spend time filling the Happiness Bottle. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 29. C 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章将日常时间比喻为三个“瓶子”(必要任务瓶、自愿任务瓶、幸福瓶)，先分别解释每个瓶子的含义，再强调人们常忽视“幸福瓶”，呼吁大家每天主动规划时间，填充“幸福瓶”，让生活更平衡、快乐。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle. We do important things like making money for living”可知，我们花时间填充“必要任务瓶”，做像赚钱以维持生计这类重要的事。故选B。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“These are things we choose to do for family members or other people.”可知，这些是我们选择为家人或他人做的事，故可推断出，划线单词“Voluntary”表示“自愿、主动选择”，选项A符合。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I fill mine by going to dance classes.”可知，作者通过上舞蹈课填充自己的幸福瓶。故选C。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段，提出“时间三瓶理论”；第二段、三段、四段分别介绍了三个“瓶子”的具体内涵；第五段、第六段与第四段是并列关系，继续介绍了要填满幸福瓶的原因及面临的挑战；第七段进行总结；因此，选项C结构图符合题意。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文，尤其根据最后一段“At the end of the day, try your best to fill your Happiness Bottle.”可知，本文先介绍三瓶理论，再重点强调人们忽视“幸福瓶”，最终落脚点是呼吁人们重视“幸福瓶”，主动规划时间填充幸福瓶，从而让自己快乐。故选D。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺，连贯。（选项中有一项多余） It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. ___31___.

I have to say that you are really good at this game.” Their classmate Nick heard this. He laughed out loud and said, “Randy, that’s because you are really bad at the sport.

It was not easy for Jack to win, but still, he won the game. To Jack’s surprise, Nick said, “I can win if I have a racket as good as yours.” However, Jack didn’t think so. He said, “Let’s swap rackets to play again.” Unluckily for Nick, he still lost the game. This time round, Nick had no excuses. He lowered his head and planned to leave.

They are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle. This idea helps us see how we spend our everyday hours. ②Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle. We do important things like making money for living, doing housework to keep our home nice and paying bills for our daily needs. ③Then, we fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things we choose to do for family members or other people. For example, picking up litter in the park and chatting with the elderly at a nursing home. ④But we often forget about the third bottle—the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle we fill with things that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty (空的) at the end of the day? Because we’re busy with necessary and voluntary tasks, time goes by fast, and before we know it, it’s time for bed. ⑤This is why we should try to fill our Happiness Bottle every day. I fill mine by going to dance classes. They always make me feel good. I made friends while dancing. ⑥The big problem for us is to make sure we don’t let a day go by without filling this important bottle. We need to plan for it. ⑦Think about how you spend your time. Are you doing enough things to be happy? Or are the other tasks taking up all your time? At the end of the day, try your best to fill your Happiness Bottle. 26.

Necessary. D. Difficult. 28. How does the writer fill her Happiness Bottle? A. B. C. D. 29. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A. To describe what the Happiness Bottle is like. B. To introduce ways to fill the Happiness Bottle. C. To share the experience of filling the Happiness Bottle. D. To tell people to spend time filling the Happiness Bottle. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺，连贯。（选项中有一项多余） It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. ___31___.

Others may think children can’t finish the housework as fast as possible. I think they are wrong. There are several reasons for kids to do chores. Chores help improve life skills. Kids are young now, but when they grow up, they need to do washing, cooking and cleaning. They can’t learn them at school. Learning these skills at home is important. Chores help kids learn to be independent. Cleaning their rooms or washing their clothes can make them less dependent on others. They will think they can take care of themselves. Chores help teach them to respect (尊重) others. They can’t realize what their parents do around the house until they move away from home. They may realize the hardness of keeping their rooms tidy by doing housework themselves, so they can respect their parents’ work at home. Chores help improve planning skills. It feels like there are a lot of things to do in a day. How to spend time on them? Chores can help kids build good habits early. They learn to plan their time in a right way.
