Variety makes things fresh and interesting;it keeps your brain sharp and your body alive—part of the reason why we feel refreshed after a holiday is the break from routine. 1 So doing things differently might take a bit of effort at first,but you’ll soon feel the benefits.Whether it’s learning a skill,or visiting somewhere new,these all require different ways of thinking.
“Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind set,to upsize our knowledge of the world,” says health coach Susan Sanders.“ 2 It’s the learning that makes the difference,firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.”
Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change up their life and train for a new job.“As humans,we are meant to grow,stretch,and expand,” says Francesca Kastelanides,director and founder of Beam Academy.“ 3 Although it will most likely be challenging at times,if your reason is strong enough,you will always gain the benefits.”
4 “When starting a new journey,ask yourself what you hope to gain,why you want to make this move,and what you expect to get out of it at the end.”
Learning something new will not only improve your skill set but it will boost your well-being.From a physical point of view,when you exercise your brain,the mind reshapes itself,because the physical brain can grow and change.But,mentally,a new skill also provides you with motivation and increases your confidence. 5 And,of course,learning will open new opportunities in life that will boost your happiness.And who doesn’t want to be happier?
A.We’re naturally creatures of habit.
B.But learning to grow is no easy task.
C.And it doesn’t matter what we learn.
D.Thus you can overcome any fears and anxieties you have.
E.Learning a new skill or retraining for a different career can only be positive.
F.To have the desired result,you should make some preparations in the first place.
G.She explains that the most important thing is to make use of your central motivation.

Ⅷ.读后续写
Susan wasn’t doing well enough at school before,or at least she wasn’t confident about herself.She wished she could do better here in her new school.
“Who would like to present your understanding of the poem?” Mr.Lee,the literature teacher,looked around the classroom.Susan lowered her head to avoid the teacher’s eyes.She was afraid to be laughed at if she made a mistake.
“Kara?” the teacher asked instead.Oh,perfect,Susan raised her head a bit.Of course Kara got the answer right again.Everyone clapped their hands,and Susan gave a quick look at Kara with admiration.Kara noticed her and gave back her a smile.Susan felt warm.
Soon,sadness filled Susan’s heart again.She hadn’t made any friends of her own so far.She felt so lonely that she really hoped someone like Kara would come up and call her a friend.Also,how she wished she were Kara,who was the most popular girl in school—always surrounded by several best friends and others.Kara was like shining sunshine.
Then,still in the class,some old memories crossed Susan’s mind.Growing up on a farm near a big forest,Susan lived every day to the fullest on the farm with Grandpa,fishing in the river,setting a campfire,climbing the tallest trees and making friends with the lovely creatures in the forest.Grandpa would hug her and call her “my sunshine”.The old man was always proud of his little girl and Susan was sure she was the queen of the forest.She smiled at all her thoughts.
Literature class finally ended,and all the students headed for the gym.The class had been playing basketball.Kara,of course,was the best player.Beside her,Susan felt like very small and awkward.Today,however,the gym teacher led the students to a big tree in the yard and said,“Everyone!You’re going to climb this tree today.Just try your best.” Hearing the teacher’s words,Susan lit up.
Many of the classmates tried but failed,including Kara.Then came her turn.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Susan stepped forward and got close to the tree.
With everyone cheering for her skillful climb and interesting stories,Kara came up.
参考答案
Ⅰ.1.with 2.variation 3.from 4.the 5.polished
Ⅱ.1.keep up with 2.hold onto 3.in the heart of 4.related to 5.pointed out
Ⅲ.1.Make a list of the poems 2.make the poem pleasant to read 3.As I see a bird flying 4.Writing poetry can be complicated 5.entered the poetry contest
Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Hopson创作的小说《鹰鼓》,包括其创作基础、大致内容、作者创作的感受,以及读者的评价。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She has written short stories and made art inspired by her Iñupiaq culture.”和“Hopson’s first and only novel to date,Eagle Drums,is set in Iñupiaq tales about a great festival.”可知,《鹰鼓》这部小说是以作者的文化为基础创作的。
2.C 段落大意题。第二段提到“在书中,主人公Pina与失去兄弟们的痛苦作斗争,他们去了附近的一座山,再也没有回来。Pina决定去同一座山,试图揭开真相,在那里他碰巧遇到了Savik,他给了Pina一个选择:跟随他或遭遇和他的兄弟一样的命运。Pina的决定让自己踏上了一段旅程,让自己接触到伊诺皮亚克文化的舞蹈和歌曲”。由此可知,本段主要介绍的是小说的内容。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,伊诺皮亚克的故事往往是通过生动的声音和肢体语言来呈现的,但是写作的时候,语言很难把这样丰富的文化表现出来,所以Hopson会觉得不舒服。
4.D 推理判断题。通读全文,文章围绕Hopson创作的小说《鹰鼓》展开,主要从其创作基础、大致内容、作者创作的感受以及读者的评价四个方面介绍了这部小说。因此,文章应该是一篇书评。
Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学习的意义,学习不仅能改变思维方式,使我们受益,还可以提升幸福感。
1.A 上文“we feel refreshed after a holiday is the break from routine”提到routine,即我们日常例行公事一般的生活;下文“So doing things differently might take a bit of...require different ways of thinking.”提出用不同的方式做事情可能需要一些努力,这里“不同的方式”指的是与上文的routine不同的方式,所以空处应该选择带有与routine“常规”“例行程序”近义或同义的选项。A项“我们天生是有习惯的生物”符合文意,“习惯”和“常规”为近义词。
2.C 上文“Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind set,to upsize our knowledge of the world.”提出要终生学习,下文“It’s the learning that makes the difference,firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.”强调了学习本身的重要性。C项承上启下,既谈到了学习,又对下文“学习本身起作用”进行了强调。
3.E 上文“Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change up their life and train for a new job.”引出关键词“learning”“train”“job”等,下文“Although it will most likely be challenging at times”提到这种改变可能会比较难,故空处需要承上启下,就需要提到“工作”“培训”以及工作培训带来的情感价值。E项符合文意。
4.G 空处为本段主旨句。下文“When starting a new journey...get out of it at the end.”的连续发问都是大家在做每件事情之前需要问自己的问题;而上文“Although it will most likely be challenging at times...gain the benefits.”强调,做事情之前一定要有足够充分的动机和理由。所以空处需要谈到做事的动机。G项符合文意。
5.D 上文“But,mentally,a new skill also provides you with motivation and increases your confidence.”和下文“And,of course,learning will open new opportunities in life that will boost your happiness.”都提到了学习新技能对情绪的改善,提高自信和幸福感,所以空处也需要填写相应选项,表达学习能如何改善情绪。D项符合文意。
Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古诗的特点、发展历程以及对世界诗歌的深远影响。
1.written 考查非谓语动词。write与其逻辑主语traditional Chinese poetry之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式,故填written。
2.periods 考查名词的数。period是可数名词,前面没有单数修饰语,所以用名词的复数形式,故填periods。
3.is recorded 考查动词的时态和语态。所填的词与主语之间为被动关系,因句子表示的是一个客观情况,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填is recorded。
4.Various/Varied 考查形容词。所填的词在句子中作定语,所以用形容词形式,故填Various/Varied。
5.arose 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语at the end of the Tang Dynasty可知,句子的谓语动词要用一般过去时,故填arose。
6.actively 考查副词。所填的词修饰动词,所以用副词形式,故填actively。
7.when 考查定语从句。先行词为the year of 1919,关系词在定语从句中作时间状语,故填when。
8.a 考查冠词。a great deal of表示“许多;大量”。
9.its 考查代词。所填的词在句子中作定语,所以用形容词性物主代词,故填its。
10.on/upon 考查介词。名词influence常与介词on或upon搭配,含义为“对……的影响”。
