In the world’s most walkable cities, walking isn’t just a means of getting around — it’s a way to experience the heart and soul of a destination. Lucca Italy While Florence and Rome may attract more tourists, Lucca is a wonderful place that is worth exploring. The city is famous for its well- protected Renaissance (文艺复兴) walls that go around the historic city center. Visitors can walk along the tree-lined top of the walls, offering some of the best views of the town and the Italian countryside. Cape Town, South Africa Cape Town is a culturally diverse (多样的) city in South Africa that has a lot to offer tourists with every type of travel style. The most walkable destination is the V&A Waterfront, filled with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. There’s not a bad view in sight, with the sea in one direction and Table Mountain in the other. Zurich, Switzerland Zurich brings together old-time charm and modern convenience, making it one of the best cities in Europe for exploring on foot. The Altstadt (Old Town) has narrow, winding streets, ancient buildings, and famous sights like the Grossmunster and Fraumunster churches. Walkers can enjoy the city’s well-kept parks and paths along Lake Zurich, which offer beautiful walking routes with views of the Swiss Alps far away. Knightsbridge, United Kingdom Knightsbridge is one of the richest neighborhoods in London and very easy to explore by walking. Here, you can find both fancy things and places that are easy for everyone to enjoy. As you walk along its beautiful streets, make sure to check out the well-known Harrods department store and the endless Victorian buildings nearby. You can take a walk along the tree-lined streets and well-protected beautiful parks to see all the lovely views. 1. What can walkers enjoy at the V&A Waterfront? A. Traditional African villages. B. Views of ocean and mountain. C. Historical European churches. D. Large numbers of ancient artworks. 2. What do Zurich and Knightsbridge have in common? A. They have few modern stores. B. They have countryside views. C. They have Renaissance buildings. D. They have well- protected parks. 3 Where can you most probably find the text? A. In a textbook. B. In a history novel. C. In a travel magazine. D. In a news report. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四个适合步行探索的旅游目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The most walkable destination is the V&A Waterfront, filled with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. There’s not a bad view in sight, with the sea in one direction and Table Mountain in the other (最适合步行的目的地是维多利亚阿尔弗雷德海滨，这里遍布着众多商店、餐厅和酒吧。视野所及之处皆是美景，一侧是大海，另一侧是桌山)”可知，步行者在维多利亚阿尔弗雷德海滨可以欣赏到大海和山脉的景色。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Walkers can enjoy the city’s well-kept parks and paths along Lake Zurich (步行者可以欣赏这座城市维护良好的公园以及苏黎世湖畔的小径)”以及第五段“You can take a walk along the tree- lined streets and well-protected beautiful parks to see all the lovely views (你可以沿着绿树成荫的街道漫步，在保护完善的美丽公园里欣赏所有宜人的景色)”可知，苏黎世和骑士桥的共同点是都有维护良好的公园。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“Best Cities for Walking in the World(世界最佳步行城市)”等内容可知，文章主要介绍了四座适合步行游览的城市及其特色景点，内容具有明显的旅游推荐属性，旨在为旅行者提供出行参考。故选C。 B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed (暴露) me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 4. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She thought the characters were beautiful. D. She understood the intention but still disliked it. 5. The author decided to learn calligraphy to __________. A. protect plants from being harmed B. reconnect with her root C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community 6. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy __________. A. mirrors the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 7. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者通过学习书法重新认识自我、接纳自我的过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. (结果，我得到了一个毫无意义且令人尴尬的名字：陈薏温，大致意思是“老”、“薏米”和“温暖”。)”以及第三段“When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. (18岁我到美国上大学时，我装出了美国口音，放弃了我的中文名字。)”可知，作者虽然理解父母取名的意图，但仍然不喜欢自己的名字。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. (2021年，在美国生活了14年后，我搬到了香港，决定学习书法。我想，为什么不重新接触一下我的文化遗产呢？)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” (我的老师曾经对我说：“当你看着这个词时，你看到的是它的身体。虽然纸上的一个词是平面的，但它承载着丰富的意义，展示了你所运用的力量、你握笔的能量、你背部的曲线。”)”可知，作者从老师的话中学到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. (我学习书法是为了找回文化根源，但我真正寻找的是回归自我)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了作者通过学习书法重新认识自我、接纳自我的过程，作者想要告诉我们要接纳真实的自己。故选B项。 C Have you ever felt full after a meal but still wanted dessert (甜点)? Or taken a cookie just because it was there? Many of us find it hard to refuse sugar. In fact, a study showed that 94% of lab rats preferred sweetened water to cocaine (可卡因). While sugar is not as harmful, it influences our brain in a similar way, bringing us pleasure and making us want more. It’s natural for our bodies to ask for sugar. However, unlike fruits and vegetables, some foods have high amounts of sugar added to them. According to Dr. Vera Tarman, this can make eating sugar addictive — similar to how coca leaves were safe, but cocaine was dangerous. “Signs include thinking about sweets all the time, eating even when full.” Dr. Tarman said, “many people feel a meal isn’t complete without dessert — it becomes a habit.” Too much sugar can harm your health, leading to heart problems, headaches, and low energy. What’s worse, it can keep your blood sugar high, making you feel tired and unwell. To break the habit, Dr. Tarman suggests stopping sugar completely rather than slowly cutting down on it. The first five days may be difficult — you might feel easily annoyed or have trouble sleeping. But by the second week, these feelings weaken. By the third week, you won’t even miss sugar. “Start family-wide dietary improvements by eliminating sugary food intake, developing healthier eating habits for all members. After a meal, do something else, like drinking tea or taking a walk, to avoid reaching for sweets.” said Dr. Tarman. “Keep telling yourself why you’re quitting — maybe to build energy or lose weight, and ask a friend to support you.” Quitting sugar may seem impossible at first, but after a few weeks, your taste will change. An apple will taste sweeter, and you’ll enjoy the freedom from sugar addiction. 8. According to Dr. Tarman, what makes people addicted to sugar? A. Natural need for our bodies. B. High-added sugar in some foods. C. Thinking about sweets all the time. D. Eating sweets even when full. 9. What does Dr. Tarman suggest doing to avoid sugar addiction? A. Quitting sugar from diet totally. B. Stopping eating sugar gradually. C. Weakening sugar influence slowly. D. Cutting down on sugar for two weeks. 10. Which may replace the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 4? A. Making up. B. Applying for. C. Cutting out. D. Focusing on. 11. What positive change can you expect after stopping eating sugar? A. You can enjoy sweet foods freely. B. Apples will not taste sweet to you. C. You are sure to have a sweet tooth. D. A better sense of taste may come along. 【答案】8 B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍吃糖上瘾的原因、危害，以及专家建议完全戒糖的方法和好处，帮助人们摆脱糖依赖、养成健康饮食习惯。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, unlike fruits and vegetables, some foods have high amounts of sugar added to them. According to Dr. Vera Tarman, this can make eating sugar addictive — similar to how coca leaves were safe, but cocaine was dangerous.(然而，与水果和蔬菜不同，有些食物添加了大量的糖。据维拉・塔曼博士说，这会让人对吃糖上瘾—— 这就像古柯叶本身是安全的，但可卡因却很危险是一个道理。)”可知，一些食物中添加的高糖分让人们对糖上瘾。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To break the habit, Dr. Tarman suggests stopping sugar completely rather than slowly cutting down on it.(为了改掉这个习惯，塔曼博士建议完全停止吃糖，而不是慢慢减少。)”可知，塔曼博士建议完全戒掉饮食中的糖。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Start family-wide dietary improvements by eliminating sugary food intake, developing healthier eating habits for all members.(通过eliminating含糖食物的摄入，在全家范围内开始改善饮食，为所有成员养成更健康的饮食习惯。)” 以及后文“Keep telling yourself why you’re quitting(不断告诉自己为什么戒掉)”可知，eliminating意为“切断、消除”，与cutting out意思相近。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Quitting sugar may seem impossible at first, but after a few weeks, your taste will change. An apple will taste sweeter, and you’ll enjoy the freedom from sugar addiction.(戒掉糖一开始似乎很难，但几周后，你的味觉就会改变。苹果会尝起来更甜，你也会享受到摆脱糖瘾的自由。)” 可知，停止吃糖后，你的味觉会变得更好。故选D项。 D A recent earthquake happened in California. Fortunately, no damage was reported. However, the earthquake was important in another aspect — many people in the area received warnings on their mobile phones just before the earthquake hit. Furthermore, several of these phones aided in detecting (检测) the earthquake in the first place. Some smartphone companies have been developing a warning system that can remind users a few seconds before an earthquake hits. Although a few seconds may not seem like much, it can provide enough time to take cover under a table or desk, slow down trains, and prevent planes from taking off or landing. This system is expected to save lives during stronger quakes. It relies on information from two sources: a network of several seismometers (地震仪) placed across the states, and the world’s largest earthquake detection network created through smartphones owned by the public. The mobile earthquake detecting and warning network uses built-in sensors (传感器) on mobile phones to replace traditional detection instruments. The system can work out whether an earthquake is happening and where. It can then send a warning to phones in the area where the earthquakes are likely to hit. Radio signals travel faster than earthquake waves, allowing warnings to be sent before the shaking. This technology opens up the possibility of detecting the earthquakes in regions where widespread networks of costly seismometers cannot be used, and could provide earthquake warnings in even poorer places of the world. The earthquake warning system has some limitations (限制), particularly in regions with low phone usage and in earthquakes that happen near the ocean, which can cause tsunamis (海啸). Additionally, while the system can provide a few seconds of advance warning, detecting earthquakes remains challenging. Still, there are hopes to expand the system’s usage worldwide in the future as long as we want to make a change in its limitations. 12. Why was the warning system invented? A. To reduce the economic loss of earthquakes. B. To buy more survival time for people. C. To raise people’s self-protection awareness. D. To figure out earthquakes’ location. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Where the system is used. B. How the system works. C. When the system will operate. D. What the system aims for. 14. What is special about the system? A. It can be used in wider areas. B. It gives warnings days in advance. C. It uses the Internet to send signals. D. It shares information recorded by users. 15. What will the scientists do to the system next? A. Add the latest data to it. B. Shorten its warning time. C. Keep working on its problems. D. Put it into computers instead of phones. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手机里的地震预警系统, 包括其工作原理, 带来的好处以及局限性。文章旨在引导学生关注科技发展, 积极使用信息技术为生活带来便利。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although a few seconds may not seem like much, it can provide enough time to take cover under a table or desk, slow down trains, and prevent planes from taking off or landing. This system is expected to save lives during stronger quakes. (虽然几秒钟看起来不多，但它足以让人躲到桌子或书桌下面、让火车减速、阻止飞机起降。该系统有望在强震中挽救生命)”可知，预警系统发明的目的是为人们争取更多生存时间。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The mobile earthquake detecting and warning network uses built-in sensors (传感器) on mobile phones to replace traditional detection instruments. The system can work out whether an earthquake is happening and where. It can then send a warning to phones in the area where the earthquakes are likely to hit. (移动地震检测预警网络利用手机内置传感器替代传统检测设备。该系统能判断是否发生地震及地震位置，随后向可能受地震影响区域的手机发送预警)”可知，第三段主要介绍该系统的工作原理。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This technology opens up the possibility of detecting the earthquakes in regions where widespread networks of costly seismometers cannot be used, and could provide earthquake warnings in even poorer places of the world. (这项技术使在无法部署昂贵地震仪网络的地区检测地震成为可能，甚至能为全球更贫困地区提供地震预警)”可知，该系统的特别之处在于可在更广泛的区域使用。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, there are hopes to expand the system’s usage worldwide in the future as long as we want to make a change in its limitations. (不过，只要我们愿意改进其局限性，未来仍有望在全球推广该系统的使用)”可推知，科学家接下来会继续解决系统存在的问题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ease the Sunday Scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets ignored during the workweek.

In the world’s most walkable cities, walking isn’t just a means of getting around — it’s a way to experience the heart and soul of a destination. Lucca, Italy While Florence and Rome may attract more tourists, Lucca is a wonderful place that is worth exploring. The city is famous for its well- protected Renaissance (文艺复兴) walls that go around the historic city center. Visitors can walk along the tree-lined top of the walls, offering some of the best views of the town and the Italian countryside. Cape Town, South Africa Cape Town is a culturally diverse (多样的) city in South Africa that has a lot to offer tourists with every type of travel style. The most walkable destination is the V&A Waterfront, filled with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. There’s not a bad view in sight, with the sea in one direction and Table Mountain in the other. Zurich, Switzerland Zurich brings together old-time charm and modern convenience, making it one of the best cities in Europe for exploring on foot. The Altstadt (Old Town) has narrow, winding streets, ancient buildings, and famous sights like the Grossmunster and Fraumunster churches. Walkers can enjoy the city’s well-kept parks and paths along Lake Zurich, which offer beautiful walking routes with views of the Swiss Alps far away. Knightsbridge, United Kingdom Knightsbridge is one of the richest neighborhoods in London and very easy to explore by walking. Here, you can find both fancy things and places that are easy for everyone to enjoy. As you walk along its beautiful streets, make sure to check out the well-known Harrods department store and the endless Victorian buildings nearby. You can take a walk along the tree-lined streets and well-protected beautiful parks to see all the lovely views. 1. What can walkers enjoy at the V&A Waterfront? A. Traditional African villages. B. Views of ocean and mountain. C. Historical European churches. D. Large numbers of ancient artworks. 2. What do Zurich and Knightsbridge have in common? A. They have few modern stores. B. They have countryside views. C. They have Renaissance buildings. D. They have well- protected parks. 3. Where can you most probably find the text? A. In a textbook. B. In a history novel. C. In a travel magazine. D. In a news report. B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed (暴露) me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 4. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She thought the characters were beautiful. D. She understood the intention but still disliked it. 5. The author decided to learn calligraphy to __________. A. protect plants from being harmed B. reconnect with her root C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community 6. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy __________. A. mirrors the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 7. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. C Have you ever felt full after a meal but still wanted dessert (甜点)? Or taken a cookie just because it was there? Many of us find it hard to refuse sugar. In fact, a study showed that 94% of lab rats preferred sweetened water to cocaine (可卡因). While sugar is not as harmful, it influences our brain in a similar way, bringing us pleasure and making us want more. It’s natural for our bodies to ask for sugar. However, unlike fruits and vegetables, some foods have high amounts of sugar added to them. According to Dr. Vera Tarman, this can make eating sugar addictive — similar to how coca leaves were safe, but cocaine was dangerous. “Signs include thinking about sweets all the time, eating even when full.” Dr. Tarman said, “many people feel a meal isn’t complete without dessert — it becomes a habit.” Too much sugar can harm your health, leading to heart problems, headaches, and low energy. What’s worse, it can keep your blood sugar high, making you feel tired and unwell. To break the habit, Dr. Tarman suggests stopping sugar completely rather than slowly cutting down on it. The first five days may be difficult — you might feel easily annoyed or have trouble sleeping. But by the second week, these feelings weaken. By the third week, you won’t even miss sugar. “Start family-wide dietary improvements by eliminating sugary food intake, developing healthier eating habits for all members. After a meal, do something else, like drinking tea or taking a walk, to avoid reaching for sweets.” said Dr. Tarman. “Keep telling yourself why you’re quitting — maybe to build energy or lose weight, and ask a friend to support you.” Quitting sugar may seem impossible at first, but after a few weeks, your taste will change. An apple will taste sweeter, and you’ll enjoy the freedom from sugar addiction. 8. According to Dr. Tarman, what makes people addicted to sugar? A. Natural need for our bodies. B. High-added sugar in some foods. C. Thinking about sweets all the time. D. Eating sweets even when full. 9. What does Dr. Tarman suggest doing to avoid sugar addiction? A. Quitting sugar from diet totally. B. Stopping eating sugar gradually. C. Weakening sugar influence slowly. D. Cutting down on sugar for two weeks. 10. Which may replace the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 4? A. Making up. B. Applying for. C. Cutting out. D. Focusing on. 11. What positive change can you expect after stopping eating sugar? A. You can enjoy sweet foods freely. B. Apples will not taste sweet to you. C. You are sure to have a sweet tooth. D. A better sense of taste may come along. D A recent earthquake happened in California. Fortunately, no damage was reported. However, the earthquake was important in another aspect — many people in the area received warnings on their mobile phones just before the earthquake hit. Furthermore, several of these phones aided in detecting (检测) the earthquake in the first place. Some smartphone companies have been developing a warning system that can remind users a few seconds before an earthquake hits. Although a few seconds may not seem like much, it can provide enough time to take cover under a table or desk, slow down trains, and prevent planes from taking off or landing. This system is expected to save lives during stronger quakes. It relies on information from two sources: a network of several seismometers (地震仪) placed across the states, and the world’s largest earthquake detection network created through smartphones owned by the public. The mobile earthquake detecting and warning network uses built-in sensors (传感器) on mobile phones to replace traditional detection instruments. The system can work out whether an earthquake is happening and where. It can then send a warning to phones in the area where the earthquakes are likely to hit. Radio signals travel faster than earthquake waves, allowing warnings to be sent before the shaking. This technology opens up the possibility of detecting the earthquakes in regions where widespread networks of costly seismometers cannot be used, and could provide earthquake warnings in even poorer places of the world. The earthquake warning system has some limitations (限制), particularly in regions with low phone usage and in earthquakes that happen near the ocean, which can cause tsunamis (海啸). Additionally, while the system can provide a few seconds of advance warning, detecting earthquakes remains challenging. Still, there are hopes to expand the system’s usage worldwide in the future as long as we want to make a change in its limitations. 12. Why was the warning system invented? A. To reduce the economic loss of earthquakes. B. To buy more survival time for people. C. To raise people’s self-protection awareness. D. To figure out earthquakes’ location. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Where the system is used. B. How the system works. C. When the system will operate. D. What the system aims for. 14. What is special about the system? A. It can be used in wider areas. B. It gives warnings days in advance. C. It uses the Internet to send signals. D. It shares information recorded by users. 15. What will the scientists do to the system next? A. Add the latest data to it. B. Shorten its warning time. C. Keep working on its problems. D. Put it into computers instead of phones. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ease the Sunday Scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets ignored during the workweek.
