Small words may help you beat stress and improve your relationships. Use these tips to teach yourself a helpful and useful vocabulary.
I get to
“Many of us begin our day with the phrase ‘I have to’,” says Catherine Grace O’Connell, a self-development expert. “Changing this to ‘I get to’ has the possibility to change the way our day goes. “Even if you may not be happy about going to work or cooking dinner, saying that you “get to” do those things changes your attention to the positive aspects of those things.
Thank you
A lot of research has been done on why people — especially women — often don’t accept compliments smoothly. Language in Society found that women only accepted compliments 40 percent of the time, and Harvard Business Review found that almost 70 percent of people connected receiving compliments with a little shame or embarrassment. Does this sound familiar She says, “I love that dress.” You say, “Oh this I’ve had it for years.” Or,” You think I’m not crazy about the color.” We often demean (贬低) ourselves while doing this. A better way to respond: Look the person in the eye and simply say, “Thank you.”
Not yet
Adding “yet” to the end of your words, especially when talking about abilities and goals. is a small but good way to change your attitude to life. “Add the word ‘yet’ to limiting comments,” suggests Kyndall Bennett, another self-development expert. “When we do this, we allow ourselves to accept the limiting thoughts as truths,” Bennett says. “Examples of this would be like, ‘I can’t speak a second language... yet’ and ‘I don’t know how to run my own business... yet.’” This works for everything from weight loss to relationships; it’s a way to add a certain optimism to your words.
1. What had you better do when receiving compliments
A. Show modesty. B. Explain reasons.
C. Say “Thank you”. D. Present facts.
2. What do we mean when we use “not yet”
A. We will try to do that. B. We have tried our best.
C. We apologize for a delay. D. We have to cancel the plan.
3. Why does the author suggest using the small words
A. To relax ourselves. B. To stay positive to life.
C. To strengthen family ties. D. To learn new vocabulary.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了小词可以帮助我们战胜压力,改善人际关系,对生活保持积极的态度。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We often demean (贬低)ourselves while doing this. A better way to respond: Look the person in the eye and simply say, “Thank you.”(我们经常在做这件事的时候贬低自己。更好的回应方式:直视对方的眼睛,简单地说“谢谢”) ”可知,生活中,当我们收到赞美的时候,正确的回应不是贬低自己,而是要向对方表示谢意。因此,当你收到赞美的时候,你最好C项“Say “Thank you”(说谢谢)”符合题意。故选C项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Not yet”标题下的“Adding “yet” to the end of your words, especially when talking about abilities and goals…This works for everything from weight loss to relationships; it’s a way to add a certain optimism to your words. (在词尾加上“yet”,尤其是在谈论能力和目标时,它是一个很小但很好的来改变你的生活态度的方式……这适用于从减肥到人际关系的所有事情,它给你的话语增添某种乐观情绪的方式) ”可知,尤其是在谈论能力和目标时,在词尾加上“Not yet”,能增添乐观积极的语气,指的是还推知未达到目标,但是会尽力去做。因此,我们用“not yet”是A项“We will try to do that. (我们会尽力做到的)”符合题意。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Small words may help you beat stress and improve your relationships. (小词可以帮助你战胜压力,改善人际关系) ”可知,小词可以帮助你战胜压力,改善人际关系,有积极的生活态度。因此,作者建议使用这些小词的原因是B项“To stay positive to life (对生活保持积极的态度)”符合题意。故选B项。

When we are kids, we don’t know what we will overcome. At the age of thirteen, I fell ill. This illness lasted three years and I missed a lot of schooling. Doctors tried their best to help me as much as possible, but in the end this was something I just had to be used to. I felt little hope in life. However, in my junior year of high school, I had a turning point. I discovered my gift for writing and then I realized if I continued to let this problem hold me back, my dream would never come true. So my state of mind changed. Going through the difficulty also gave me the strong desire to write. Writing what mattered most to me helped me overcome what sickened me.
During my freshman and sophomore (高中二年级的) year I did not learn much due to illness. So I became focused and determined and actually completed high school in two years instead of four. At the close of my junior year, I had straight A’s and became an honor roll student. Seeing what I had accomplished, I realized that having disadvantages doesn’t mean it is impossible to achieve success.
By becoming a writer, I’ve become a reader. While performing community service at the library, I read to those who are less fortunate and unable to read. From pre-school children to the elderly, I enjoy my time reading to people of all ages. It is pleasing to see the awesome expressions on their faces as the words become a vision in their minds. Giving back is one of the greatest gifts you could give in life. It inspires me to write something people can learn from.
4. How did the author feel when she got ill
A. Optimistic. B. Nervous.
C. Hopeless. D. Calm.
5. What led to the author’s turning point in life
A. Her efforts in study. B. Her talent for writing.
C. The change of her dream. D. The desire to read to others.
6. What’s probably the author’s disadvantage in her mind
A. Missing schooling due to illness. B. Becoming an honor roll student.
C. Having a negative state of mind. D. Failing to take exercise regularly.
7. What can we learn about the author
A. The author enjoys imagining things.
B. The author encourages others to read for life.
C. The author wants to benefit others by writing.
D. The author prefers to be a reader rather than a writer.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C

C
One of our biggest problems many of us feel is having too much to do and not feeling like we have enough time to do it.
Of course having “not enough time” is just a feeling. The fact is that we all have the same amount of time, but we often fill up the container (容器) of our days with too many things..
The problem is having too many things to fit into a small container (24 hours). If we look at task and time management simply as a container organization problem, it becomes simpler.
How do we fit all of the things we have to do into our small container We do that by simplifying what we have to do.
Pay attention to all the things you should do today and tomorrow, and try to notice all the things you're fitting into the container of your day. What games are you playing on your phone What are you reading What work are you busy doing How much time are you spending on Facebook of Twitter How much TV are you watching How much time do you spend cleaning, taking care of other people
What you might realize is that you're fitting a lot of junk into the container. Throw some of that out. Prevent yourself from using certain sites or apps until you've done a few really important tasks.
Now ask yourself this: Which task would you do if you could only do one task today That should be what you put your focus on next. So just focus on one important task. By picking your tasks carefully, you're taking care of the container of your time. You can pick important tasks or joyful ones, but you're being conscious (意识到的 ) about the choices. You're treating it like the gift of great value, for it is limited, valuable, to be filled with the best things, but not overstuffed.
8. How can we deal with the big problem mentioned at the beginning of the text
A. By filling up our days with too many things.
B. By simplifying everything we have to do.
C. By having a bigger container of our days.
D. By improving our skills of doing tasks.
9. Why does the author ask many questions in Para.5
A. To prove that many people are enjoying playing games.
B. To help us learn the importance of balancing work and life.
C. To show there are many things which are not worth doing.
D. To tell us that there are no really important tasks to do.
10. What should we do to spend our days more meaningfully
A. Learn what the container of our days is.
B. Prevent ourselves from feeling time is not enough.
C. Try our best to do as many things as we can.
D. Focus on something that is really important.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. First things first.
B. Easier said than done.
C. Practice makes perfect.
D. Don’t put all your eggs into one basket.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了我们很多人觉得最大的问题之一就是有太多的事情要做,却没有足够的时间去做,解决它的方法就是简化要做的事情,只专注于重要的任务。
8题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“How do we fit all of the things we have to do into our small container We do that by simplifying what we have to do.”(我们如何把所有要做的事情都装进我们的小容器里?我们通过简化我们必须做的事情来做到这一点。)可知要解决“有太多的事情要做,却没有足够的时间去做”的方法就是简化各项事情。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段中的“What games are you playing on your phone What are you reading What work are you busy doing How much time are you spending on Facebook of Twitter How much TV are you watching How much time do you spend cleaning, taking care of other people ”(你在手机上玩什么游戏?你在看什么?你在忙什么工作?你在Facebook和Twitter上花了多少时间?你看了多少电视?你花多少时间打扫卫生,照顾别人?)和第六段“What you might realize is that you're fitting a lot of junk into the container. Throw some of that out. Prevent yourself from using certain sites or apps until you've done a few really important tasks.”(你可能会意识到你在往时间容器里装了很多垃圾。扔掉一些。在完成一些非常重要的任务之前,不要使用某些网站或应用程序。)可知作者提出许多问题,就是要帮你意识到你把太多无用的东西装进时间容器里了,这才导致你没时间做事,因此少用某些网站或应用程序。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Now ask yourself this: Which task would you do if you could only do one task today That should be what you put your focus on next. So just focus on one important task.”(现在扪心自问:如果你今天只能做一项任务,你会做哪项任务?这应该是你下一步的重点。所以只需专注于一个重要的任务。)可知我们的重点是专注于做真正重要的事情,才能更有意义地度过我们的日子。故选D项。

D
I was recently in Door County Wisconsin, the land of cherries—a fruit sweet to taste and, for me sweeter to recall. The little fruit reminds me of a chat I had with my daughter Molly, now 19, about ten years ago on the summer shores of Lake Michigan.
Molly and I have much in common, including a lasting love of homemade pies. As I get aged, I’ve never changed the sense that freshly baked pies are the most delicious. My daughter agrees.
When she was younger, we would talk about pies before, while and after eating them. She made a special face and sign—one eye closed, fork waved twice in the air—whenever a tasty pie had been eaten up. So this chat wasn’t all that strange as we drove around Door County, a land of cherries that July day.
“Dad,” Molly asked from the back of our car, “try to guess my two favorite pies.” I thought before answering, given the importance of the subject.
Pumpkin and Wisconsin cherry, I answered, looking at her through the rearview mirror(后视镜). Our Lake Michigan location had given me the idea of my second guess and, I thought, her question. But that was not Molly’s answer. Her expression told me she was confused. But as quickly as the look came, it was replaced by a naughty smile. “OK,” she corrected, “try to guess my three favorite pies.” Molly had changed her rankings(排序), putting her original top two picks to second and third place.
Our brief chat stayed with me. Too often facts around me change, but my mind doesn’t. Unaffected by new information, I function like a navigation (导航) system that has missed a turn but won’t return. Since that summer day, when I sense myself behaving this way, I try to recall the “favorite pie” chat with my daughter and correct my course.
It was a small moment that Molly has probably forgotten, but I never will. Sometimes big lessons come from small moments.
12. What did Molly mean by making a special face and sign after eating a pie
A. She was quite full. B. She was very lovely.
C. She wanted more pies. D. She really enjoyed the pie.
13. What does the writer learn from their chat
A. Refuse to change his mind. B. Behave his own way.
C. Accept new information. D. Follow a navigation system.
14. Which of the following best describes “my” feeling after the chat
A. Grateful. B. Excited. C. Regretful. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A shared love for pies B. A happy journey in summer
C. A sweet lesson from a pie D. A small moment with Molly
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者十年前和十九岁的女儿就“派”的口味的一次聊天。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She made a special face and sign—one eye closed, fork waved twice in the air—whenever a tasty pie had been eaten up(每当她吃完美味的馅饼时,她就做一个特殊的表情和手势——闭上一只眼睛,在空中挥舞两下叉子)”可知,莫莉在吃完喜欢的美味的馅饼后会做出这些动作。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒是第二段“Unaffected by new information, I function like a navigation(导航)system that has missed a turn but won’t return. Since that summer day, when I sense myself behaving this way, I try to recall the “favorite pie” chat with my daughter and correct my course.(我不受新信息的影响,就像一个导航系统,错过了一个转弯,但不会回来。从那个夏天开始,每当我感觉到自己有这种行为时,我就会努力回忆起和女儿关于“最爱吃的派”的聊天,并纠正自己的做法)”可知,在与女儿结束聊天后作者学会去接受新的信息。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It was a small moment that Molly has probably forgotten, but I never will. Sometimes big lessons come from small moments.(这是一个很小的时刻,莫莉可能已经忘记了,但我永远不会忘记。有时候,大的教训来自于小的时刻)”可知,作者在结束与女儿的对话后学到了很多。由此推知,作者是一种感激的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The little fruit reminds me of a chat I had with my daughter Molly, now 19, about ten years ago on the summer shores of Lake Michigan.(这个小水果让我想起了大约十年前夏天,我和19岁的女儿莫莉在密歇根湖岸边的一次聊天)”以及最后一段“It was a small moment that Molly has probably forgotten, but I never will. Sometimes big lessons come from small moments.(这是一个很小的时刻,莫莉可能已经忘记了,但我永远不会忘记。有时候,大的教训来自于小的时刻)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者与女儿莫利关于“派”口味的一次对话,并从中学到了很多的故事。故选C。

第二节:(共10个小题;每小题1. 5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Eliza Doolittle was an unrefined, dirty flower girl with poor phonetics while Professor Higgins was an expert ___36___ phonetics. One day they happened ____37____ (meet) each other while ___38___ (hide) from the rain. When Eliza was talking with a gentleman, Higgins always watched her and took notes, which ___39___ (make) her worried, for she thought he was a policeman in disguise. As ___40___ matter of fact, he just showed interest in her poor phonetics and made a bet with Colonel Pickering ___41___ he was going to meet. Higgins said once ___42___ (educate) to speak properly, Eliza could pass herself ___43___ in three months as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party. After that Higgins threw a handful of money into her basket and ___44___ (leave) with Pickering, leaving Eliza excited and in ___45___ (amaze). Eliza decided to find him the next day.
【答案】36. in 37. to meet 38. hiding 39. made 40. a
41. who/whom/that 42. educated 43. off 44. left
45. amazement
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了语音学专家Higgins教授在躲雨时对卖花女Eliza Doolittle的发音产生了兴趣,并且和Pickering上校打赌,一旦学会了正确的发音,卖花女可以冒充公爵夫人的故事。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:Eliza Doolittle是一个粗俗且肮脏的卖花女,发音很糟糕,而Higgins教授是语音学专家。an expert in…是固定搭配,表示“……方面的专家”,故填in。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一天他们躲雨时碰巧遇见了彼此。happen to do sth.碰巧做某事,故填to meet。
【38题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。分析句子结构,while引导的是时间状语从句,表示“当他们在躲雨的时候”,应使用过去进行时,完整结构是while they are hiding from the rain,当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致,且从句的谓语动词含be的某种形式,此时从句的主语和be动词通常一起省略。故填hiding。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:当Eliza和一位绅士交谈时,Higgins总是注视着她并做着笔记,这让她很担心,因为她以为他是一个乔装的警察。分析句子结构可知,which引导一个非限制性定语从句,空处是句子的谓语动词,根据主句Higgins always watched her and took notes可知,从句也使用一般过去时,所以空处填动词过去式,故填made。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:事实上,他只是对她糟糕的发音有兴趣,并和他即将会面的Pickering上校打了个赌。as a matter of fact是固定短语,意为“事实上”,故填a。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导一个定语从句,先行词是Colonel Pickering,指人,关系词在从句中作宾语,可使用who,whom或者that引导,故填who/whom/that。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Higgins说一旦被教育得体地说话,Eliza可以在三个月后在大使的花园聚会上假冒公爵夫人。空处应使用非谓语形式,动词educate和逻辑主语Eliza之间是动宾关系,应使用过去分词作状语,故填educated。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意同上,结合句意可知,此处指“假冒”,应使用动词短语pass off,故填off。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:在那之后Higgins向她的篮子里扔了一把钱,就和Pickering离开了,使Eliza兴奋又惊奇。分析句子结构可知,空处是and连接的并列谓语动词,根据threw可知,空处也使用动词过去式,故填left。
【45题详解】
考查名词。in amazement惊奇地,是固定短语,故填amazement。

【答案】Dear John,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t perform well in the contest of Chinese calligraphy and that you are in low spirits. Still, don’t be discouraged. Anyhow, as a foreigner, you have tried your best.
As the proverb goes, failure is the mother of success. Facing failure, you shouldn’t lose heart. On the contrary, you should analyze the reason for your failure. As far as I know, you were not well prepared for it. Chinese calligraphy is a time-consuming art, so what you need to do is spend more time practicing it.
You can always count on it that I am willing to help if necessary. I bet you will succeed next time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Annie’s eyes popped open Friday morning. She hurried downstairs and began to have her breakfast quickly.
“What’s the rush, early bird ” Dad asked. “Today’s my spelling test. Dad,” Annie said. “Mrs. Page promised a prize to everyone who gets 100 percent. I’ve studied the list all week. The words are hard, but I’m ready.”
Annie studied the spelling of each word again as Mom drove her to school. Finally, it was time for the test. “Impatient,” Mrs. Page began. Annie wrote down the word correctly and quickly.
“Word number two: weird,” Mrs. Page said.
“Easy,” Annie thought. She quickly wrote it on her paper.
Twenty-three words later, Mrs. Page collected the test papers. “I’ll mark your papers during lunch,” she told the class. After lunch Mrs. Page said, “Several of you earned a prize today for perfect test scores. Tracy, Jonas, Olivia, and Annie all scored 100 percent on the test!”
Annie smiled as she walked to the front of the room. Mrs. Page gave each of the four students a nice pencil. Annie’s was silver, pink, and blue — her favorite colors. She held the beautiful pencil high while the class clapped. “This is one of my best days ever,” Annie thought as she sat down.
Mrs. Page handed back the test paper and Annie read the words over, proud of the hard words she had spelled. Suddenly she stopped at the word “weird”. It didn’t look right. Annie pulled out the study list and made a comparison. “W-i-e-r-d,” she whispered. She had spelled it wrong.
“What should I do ” Annie wondered. “I want my classmates to think I’m a great speller. If I tell Mrs. Page I’ll have to give back my prize, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Annie stared at the test paper with the big red “100%” written at the top. Then she thought of a lesson Dad taught her when she was very young, “We should always be honest.”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】 Slowly, Annie raised her hand. “Mrs. Page, I didn’t get 100 percent on the test. I missed a word.” She stood up and handed her teacher the beautiful pencil and her test paper. “I spelled ‘weird’ with ‘i-e’ instead of ‘e-i.’’ Annie could feel her classmates eyeing her with surprise as she walked back to her desk. Mrs. Page held up Annie’s test paper. “Class,” she said, “Annie did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mrs. Page smiled at Annie. “She taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Annie looked around. She found many of her classmates were smiling at her. “Annie, I want you to have this pencil because you set a good example for all of us,” Mrs. Page said. Annie took the beautiful silver, pink, and blue pencil from her teacher. “Thank you, Mrs. Page.” She couldn’t wait to show it to Dad and tell him one of her best days ever.

A
Small words may help you beat stress and improve your relationships. Use these tips to teach yourself a helpful and useful vocabulary.
I get to
“Many of us begin our day with the phrase ‘I have to’,” says Catherine Grace O’Connell, a self-development expert. “Changing this to ‘I get to’ has the possibility to change the way our day goes. “Even if you may not be happy about going to work or cooking dinner, saying that you “get to” do those things changes your attention to the positive aspects of those things.
Thank you
A lot of research has been done on why people — especially women — often don’t accept compliments smoothly. Language in Society found that women only accepted compliments 40 percent of the time, and Harvard Business Review found that almost 70 percent of people connected receiving compliments with a little shame or embarrassment. Does this sound familiar She says, “I love that dress.” You say, “Oh this I’ve had it for years.” Or,” You think I’m not crazy about the color.” We often demean (贬低) ourselves while doing this. A better way to respond: Look the person in the eye and simply say, “Thank you.”
Not yet
Adding “yet” to the end of your words, especially when talking about abilities and goals. is a small but good way to change your attitude to life. “Add the word ‘yet’ to limiting comments,” suggests Kyndall Bennett, another self-development expert. “When we do this, we allow ourselves to accept the limiting thoughts as truths,” Bennett says. “Examples of this would be like, ‘I can’t speak a second language... yet’ and ‘I don’t know how to run my own business... yet.’” This works for everything from weight loss to relationships; it’s a way to add a certain optimism to your words.
1. What had you better do when receiving compliments
A. Show modesty. B. Explain reasons.
C. Say “Thank you”. D. Present facts.
2. What do we mean when we use “not yet”
A. We will try to do that. B. We have tried our best.
C. We apologize for a delay. D. We have to cancel the plan.
3. Why does the author suggest using the small words
A. To relax ourselves. B. To stay positive to life.
C. To strengthen family ties. D. To learn new vocabulary.
B
When we are kids, we don’t know what we will overcome. At the age of thirteen, I fell ill. This illness lasted three years and I missed a lot of schooling. Doctors tried their best to help me as much as possible, but in the end this was something I just had to be used to. I felt little hope in life. However, in my junior year of high school, I had a turning point. I discovered my gift for writing and then I realized if I continued to let this problem hold me back, my dream would never come true. So my state of mind changed. Going through the difficulty also gave me the strong desire to write. Writing what mattered most to me helped me overcome what sickened me.
During my freshman and sophomore (高中二年级的) year I did not learn much due to illness. So I became focused and determined and actually completed high school in two years instead of four. At the close of my junior year, I had straight A’s and became an honor roll student. Seeing what I had accomplished, I realized that having disadvantages doesn’t mean it is impossible to achieve success.
By becoming a writer, I’ve become a reader. While performing community service at the library, I read to those who are less fortunate and unable to read. From pre-school children to the elderly, I enjoy my time reading to people of all ages. It is pleasing to see the awesome expressions on their faces as the words become a vision in their minds. Giving back is one of the greatest gifts you could give in life. It inspires me to write something people can learn from.
4. How did the author feel when she got ill
A. Optimistic. B. Nervous.
C. Hopeless. D. Calm.
5. What led to the author’s turning point in life
A. Her efforts in study. B. Her talent for writing.
C. The change of her dream. D. The desire to read to others.
6. What’s probably the author’s disadvantage in her mind
A. Missing schooling due to illness. B. Becoming an honor roll student.
C. Having a negative state of mind. D. Failing to take exercise regularly.
7. What can we learn about the author
A. The author enjoys imagining things.
B. The author encourages others to read for life.
C. The author wants to benefit others by writing.
D. The author prefers to be a reader rather than a writer.
C
One of our biggest problems many of us feel is having too much to do and not feeling like we have enough time to do it.
Of course, having “not enough time” is just a feeling. The fact is that we all have the same amount of time, but we often fill up the container (容器) of our days with too many things..
The problem is having too many things to fit into a small container (24 hours). If we look at task and time management simply as a container organization problem, it becomes simpler.
How do we fit all of the things we have to do into our small container We do that by simplifying what we have to do.
Pay attention to all the things you should do today and tomorrow, and try to notice all the things you're fitting into the container of your day. What games are you playing on your phone What are you reading What work are you busy doing How much time are you spending on Facebook of Twitter How much TV are you watching How much time do you spend cleaning, taking care of other people
What you might realize is that you're fitting a lot of junk into the container. Throw some of that out. Prevent yourself from using certain sites or apps until you've done a few really important tasks.
Now ask yourself this: Which task would you do if you could only do one task today That should be what you put your focus on next. So just focus on one important task. By picking your tasks carefully, you're taking care of the container of your time. You can pick important tasks or joyful ones, but you're being conscious (意识到的 ) about the choices. You're treating it like the gift of great value, for it is limited, valuable, to be filled with the best things, but not overstuffed.
8. How can we deal with the big problem mentioned at the beginning of the text
A. By filling up our days with too many things.
B By simplifying everything we have to do.
C. By having a bigger container of our days.
D. By improving our skills of doing tasks.
9. Why does the author ask many questions in Para.5
A. To prove that many people are enjoying playing games.
B. To help us learn the importance of balancing work and life.
C. To show there are many things which are not worth doing.
D. To tell us that there are no really important tasks to do.
10. What should we do to spend our days more meaningfully
A. Learn what the container of our days is.
B. Prevent ourselves from feeling time is not enough.
C. Try our best to do as many things as we can.
D. Focus on something that is really important.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. First things first.
B. Easier said than done.
C. Practice makes perfect.
D. Don’t put all your eggs into one basket.
D
I was recently in Door County Wisconsin, the land of cherries—a fruit sweet to taste and, for me sweeter to recall. The little fruit reminds me of a chat I had with my daughter Molly, now 19, about ten years ago on the summer shores of Lake Michigan.
Molly and I have much in common, including a lasting love of homemade pies. As I get aged, I’ve never changed the sense that freshly baked pies are the most delicious. My daughter agrees.
When she was younger, we would talk about pies before, while and after eating them. She made a special face and sign—one eye closed, fork waved twice in the air—whenever a tasty pie had been eaten up. So this chat wasn’t all that strange as we drove around Door County, a land of cherries that July day.
“Dad,” Molly asked from the back of our car, “try to guess my two favorite pies.” I thought before answering, given the importance of the subject.
Pumpkin and Wisconsin cherry, I answered, looking at her through the rearview mirror(后视镜). Our Lake Michigan location had given me the idea of my second guess and, I thought, her question. But that was not Molly’s answer. Her expression told me she was confused. But as quickly as the look came, it was replaced by a naughty smile. “OK,” she corrected, “try to guess my three favorite pies.” Molly had changed her rankings(排序), putting her original top two picks to second and third place.
Our brief chat stayed with me. Too often facts around me change, but my mind doesn’t. Unaffected by new information, I function like a navigation (导航) system that has missed a turn but won’t return. Since that summer day, when I sense myself behaving this way, I try to recall the “favorite pie” chat with my daughter and correct my course.
It was a small moment that Molly has probably forgotten, but I never will. Sometimes big lessons come from small moments.
12. What did Molly mean by making a special face and sign after eating a pie
A. She was quite full. B. She was very lovely.

15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A shared love for pies B. A happy journey in summer

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Annie’s eyes popped open Friday morning. She hurried downstairs and began to have her breakfast quickly.
“What’s the rush, early bird ” Dad asked. “Today’s my spelling test. Dad,” Annie said. “Mrs. Page promised a prize to everyone who gets 100 percent. I’ve studied the list all week. The words are hard, but I’m ready.”
Annie studied the spelling of each word again as Mom drove her to school. Finally, it was time for the test. “Impatient,” Mrs. Page began. Annie wrote down the word correctly and quickly.
“Word number two: weird,” Mrs. Page said.
“Easy,” Annie thought. She quickly wrote it on her paper.
Twenty-three words later, Mrs. Page collected the test papers. “I’ll mark your papers during lunch,” she told the class. After lunch Mrs. Page said, “Several of you earned a prize today for perfect test scores. Tracy, Jonas, Olivia, and Annie all scored 100 percent on the test!”
Annie smiled as she walked to the front of the room. Mrs. Page gave each of the four students a nice pencil. Annie’s was silver, pink, and blue — her favorite colors. She held the beautiful pencil high while the class clapped. “This is one of my best days ever,” Annie thought as she sat down.
Mrs. Page handed back the test paper and Annie read the words over, proud of the hard words she had spelled. Suddenly she stopped at the word “weird”. It didn’t look right. Annie pulled out the study list and made a comparison. “W-i-e-r-d,” she whispered. She had spelled it wrong.
“What should I do ” Annie wondered. “I want my classmates to think I’m a great speller. If I tell Mrs. Page I’ll have to give back my prize, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Annie stared at the test paper with the big red “100%” written at the top. Then she thought of a lesson Dad taught her when she was very young, “We should always be honest.”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Slowly, Annie raised her hand.
