I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.
26. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.
A. keep ourselves busy
B. get absent-minded
C. grow anxious
D. stay focused
27. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait
A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
28. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait
A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result.
C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.
29. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting
A. Take it seriously.
B. Don’t rely on others.
C. Do something else.
D. Don’t lose heart.
30. The author supports his view by _________.
A. exploring various causes of “waits”.
B. describing detailed processes of “waits”.
C. analyzing different categories of “waits”
D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”
C
Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
31. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to _____________.
A. delay tasks
B. work hard
C. seek help
D. accept failure
32. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue
A. Writing essays in strict order.
B. Building up physical strength.
C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.
D. Dealing with the hardest task first.
33. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue
A. Before starting a difficult task.
B. When all the solutions fail.
C. If the job is rather boring.
D. After finding a way out.
34. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .
A. ignore mental problems
B. get some nice sleep
C. gain complete relief
D. find the right solution
35. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Success Is Built upon Failure
B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue
C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success
D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems
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。
There is no doubt that in its short existence, the Internet has already had a powerful impact on everyday life. Never before has information been so readily available (可获得的). 36 Considering how fast this medium of communication has taken hold, it’s perhaps not surprising that it has also had a rather huge impact on the language we use.
So, today we’re taking a closer look at how exactly social media and the Internet are affecting our everyday communication.
37 This might be a fitting example of how much vocabulary that got its start on the net has come into everyday use. In addition to “selfie”, “to Google” has become a widely accepted verb, “photobombing” is a known phenomenon and we have Facebook to thank for “unfriending”. This list goes on and on. 38 Think about “wall”, “wireless”, “tablet” and “like”. They’re now used in completely new ways.
While gaining new vocabulary and evolving (逐步发展) is something languages have always done, the Internet serves to speed up this process considerably. Another curious thing is the speed at which new vocabulary is introduced, used, overused, and discarded (不再使用) in the Internet Age.
39 In an era (时代) where anyone can be their own author, editor, and publisher, it might not be surprising that traditional grammar rules are being replaced by something more flexible.
The development of the Internet has changed many parts of our life. 40
A. Half of the content online is in English.
B. Besides, common words stand for something different.
C. There are also many forms of informal writing on the Internet.
D. More than a quarter of Internet users are between the ages of 15 and 24.
E. Keeping in touch with friends and family across the planet has been made so easy.
F. It has certainly changed the way we practice and communicate with language.
G. In 2013, the Oxford English Dictionary stated “selfie” as their Word of the Year.

主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术
本文是说明文。文章介绍了互联网和社交媒体对语言的影响。
36. E。本空前谈到网上信息随手可得，本空后谈到互联网对语言交流的影响，故可推断，此处需要一个过渡句，与互联网对人际沟通的影响相关，E项符合语境。E项中的Keeping in touch with friends and family与本空后的communication相照应；E项中的has been made so easy与本空前的so readily available相照应。
37. G。G项以“selfie”这个单词在2013年成为《牛津英语词典》的年度词汇为例，介绍了一个源于互联网的词汇的例子，与本空后句意连贯，符合语境。
38. B。B项用Besides作为过渡，指出常见词汇代表不同的事物，而本空后介绍了在网络时代被赋予新义的几个常见词汇，故可推断，B项符合语境。B项中的common words与本空后的“wall”, “wireless”, “tablet” and “like”是上下义关系。
39. C。本空是对本段内容的概括。本段中提到在网络上人们用更为灵活的语言写作，不受传统语法规则的限制。C项“互联网上也出现了各种形式的非正式写作”符合语境。C项中的many forms of informal writing与本空后的anyone can be their own author, editor, and publisher和traditional grammar rules are being replaced by something more flexible相照应。
40. F。本空所在段落是对全文的概括，也与文章首段相呼应。F项与本空上句都是关于互联网对人们生活的影响，符合语境。F项中的It has certainly changed与本空前的The development of the Internet has changed相照应。
语言运用
第一节
主题语境：人与社会——人际沟通
本文是夹叙夹议文。再要好的朋友也需要经常联系。
41. B。根据上文中的I always considered myself a good friend以及I'm always there when my friends need me可知，作者相信自己是一个“很好的（excellent）”朋友。
42. B。根据下文中的I hadn't been doing enough以及A global health crisis made me realize I should have been keeping in touch with her better可知，在疫情期间，作者开始反思自己对待朋友的方法和态度，他“意识到了（realized）”在维系友谊方面自己一直都做得不够。下文中的I realized以及made me realize也提示本空选择realized，属于原词复现。
43. A。根据下文中的those I talk to daily ... those who are local ... those I catch up with ...以及those who I know ...可知，作者将自己的“朋友（friends）”分成了不同的类型。put ... in different buckets在英语中经常用来表示“将……分成不同的种类”。通过阅读全文可知，文章主要分享作者对友谊的看法和理解，因此friends为文章的核心词汇。
44. C。作者在此处具体介绍了自己对朋友的分类。根据上文中的those who are local可知，作者有一类朋友都是本地人，因此他们会经常“见面（meet）”。
45. C。根据上文中的those who I know are still my close friends和下文中的we barely talk可知，在作者的分类中，有一类朋友，“尽管（even though）”彼此几乎很少联系，但是依旧是彼此最亲密的朋友。
46. A。47. C。根据上文中的until the pandemic hit and I ... I hadn't been doing enough和I basically put my ... in a couple of different buckets可知，将朋友分成四种不同的类别是作者对待友谊和朋友的“方法（approach）”，这么多年来这个方法也一直“行之有效（worked）”。
48. B。根据上文中的one of my friends in the last category texted me and suggested we Wechat可知，疫情期间，作者的一位朋友发来短信，想通过微信“叙叙旧（catch up）”。上文中的those I catch up with every so often也提示本空选择catch up，属于原词复现。
49. A。50. C。根据上文中的I realized we hadn't spoken in nearly a year和两空之间的I had too many friends以及下文中的either可知，最让作者感到震惊的是有太多的朋友在疫情期间也没有“联系（contact）”他。hit作为动词时可表示“打击”，符合语境。
51. D。52. C。根据上文中的内容可知，作者认为我们平日里都“习惯了（were so used to）”不与他人主动联系，甚至疫情都没有“改变（change）”这一点。
53. B。根据上文中的And that didn't sit right with me以及下文中的took the threat of losing my friends可知，作者不愿在失去朋友时才意识到应该做更多让自己成为更好的朋友。hate表示“厌恶；讨厌”，符合语境。上文中的And that didn't sit right with me使用了not sit right / well with sb.的结构，在英语中经常用来表达“某人不同意……；不满意……”。
54. A。55. A。根据上文中的内容以及两空之间的I can carve out more time可知，作者认为朋友对他来说非常“重要（important）”，他意识到了自己可以挤出更多的时间来陪伴朋友。present表示“出现；在场”，符合语境。
56. to study。考查动词不定式。allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事。
57. of。考查介词。in the hope of doing sth. 抱着……的希望。
58. recorded。考查动词ed形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，修饰the number of earthquakes，且the number of earthquakes与动词record之间为被动关系，故填recorded。
59. have known。考查现在完成时。根据语境和空后的since the 1800s可知，此处应用现在完成时，又因设空处所在部分的主语为We，故填have known。
60. and。考查连词。difference between A and B表示“A与B之间的差别或不同”。
61. them。考查代词。设空处作动词sort的宾语，用宾格，故填them。
62. exactly。考查副词。设空处作状语，用副词，故填exactly。
63. that / which。考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句，指代先行词earthquakes，且在从句中作主语，故填that或者which。此处的pick up表示“发现；识别”。
64. seeing。考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处作介词by的宾语，故填seeing。
65. researchers。考查可数名词的复数。researcher为可数名词，根据语境可知，此处表示泛指，用复数，故填researchers。

M: Jessica, have you booked the rooms yet
W: No. How many people are coming
M: Mr. Jones said eight... no, sorry, six — two women and four men.
W: So,I'll book three double rooms. Do you know when they're coming
M: They were supposed to get here at 3:00 p.m. today, but the flight was canceled because of this weather.
W: I guess they'll get here in the morning, then. I'll make a note. Arrival time: Friday. Can you pick them up at the airport tomorrow, Evan

M: What did you do today, Sally
W: I made an Easter egg. It was pink, and it had a blue flower on it.
M: That sounds nice. How did you make it
W: I just boiled an egg and then put some food coloring on it. I even painted a little yellow bird on it.
M: What do you do with Easter eggs, anyway
W: Our parents hide them, and then we go searching for them. We put them in a basket.
M: And then you eat all those eggs
W: No, silly. Our parents hide plastic eggs full of candy. Nobody wants to eat that many eggs. We just paint a few eggs for fun. We eat them for breakfast.
M: Other countries' customs are so strange!

W: You look unhappy this morning, Tony. What's the matter
M: Oh, it's the woman who owns my apartment building.
W: Again You've talked about the trouble between you two many times. What is it this time
M: I got back late from a party last night. She said I left the front door open for the whole night.
W: Did you really leave the front door open
M: Yeah... but I didn't do it on purpose. Anyway, she always complains. First, it's about the noise that was actually made by my roommate; and now, it's about this.
W: Then why don't you look around for another place
M: I have already started. I looked in the paper this morning. But most of the places are too far from town.
W: You know, maybe I can ask the manager of my building whether there are any spare rooms in the building where I live. The rooms are small, but the manager is very kind.
M: Good. Thank you for your kindness. I hope I'll hear good news from you soon.

W: A recent study shows that life has changed for American kids. 3,568 kids aged 12 and under were asked to keep time diaries. Experts compared the results with how kids lived in 1981. They find that today, 75% of kids' weekday time is scheduled with either school or activities. In 1981, that figure was only 40%. Young people are spending more time in school, doing chores, and participating in activities like sports and music lessons. Young people today have less time for free play. Paul, a father from Massachusetts, said that when he came home from school as a child, he was able to wander around the town and form games and groups with other kids. In contrast, Catherine, 13 years old, has to eat dinner in the car at 4:30 on the way to her dance classes on Mondays, which do not end until 9:15 at night. "Sometimes I get very tired. I come home and I don't want to do anything. I have homework. I'll be almost falling asleep with doing it." said Catherine.

I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.
26. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.
A. keep ourselves busy
B. get absent-minded
C. grow anxious
D. stay focused
27. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait
A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
28. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait
A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result.
C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.
29. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting
A. Take it seriously.
B. Don’t rely on others.
C. Do something else.
D. Don’t lose heart.
30. The author supports his view by _________.
A. exploring various causes of “waits”.
B. describing detailed processes of “waits”.
C. analyzing different categories of “waits”
D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”
C
Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
31. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to _____________.
A. delay tasks
B. work hard
C. seek help
D. accept failure
32. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue
A. Writing essays in strict order.
B. Building up physical strength.
C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.
D. Dealing with the hardest task first.
33. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue
A. Before starting a difficult task.
B. When all the solutions fail.
C. If the job is rather boring.
D. After finding a way out.
34. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .
A. ignore mental problems
B. get some nice sleep
C. gain complete relief
D. find the right solution
35. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Success Is Built upon Failure
B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue
C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success
D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems

There is no doubt that in its short existence, the Internet has already had a powerful impact on everyday life. Never before has information been so readily available (可获得的). 36 Considering how fast this medium of communication has taken hold, it’s perhaps not surprising that it has also had a rather huge impact on the language we use.
So, today we’re taking a closer look at how exactly social media and the Internet are affecting our everyday communication.
37 This might be a fitting example of how much vocabulary that got its start on the net has come into everyday use. In addition to “selfie”, “to Google” has become a widely accepted verb, “photobombing” is a known phenomenon and we have Facebook to thank for “unfriending”. This list goes on and on. 38 Think about “wall”, “wireless”, “tablet” and “like”. They’re now used in completely new ways.
While gaining new vocabulary and evolving (逐步发展) is something languages have always done, the Internet serves to speed up this process considerably. Another curious thing is the speed at which new vocabulary is introduced, used, overused, and discarded (不再使用) in the Internet Age.
39 In an era (时代) where anyone can be their own author, editor, and publisher, it might not be surprising that traditional grammar rules are being replaced by something more flexible.
The development of the Internet has changed many parts of our life. 40
A. Half of the content online is in English.
B. Besides, common words stand for something different.
C. There are also many forms of informal writing on the Internet.
D. More than a quarter of Internet users are between the ages of 15 and 24.
E. Keeping in touch with friends and family across the planet has been made so easy.
F. It has certainly changed the way we practice and communicate with language.
G. In 2013, the Oxford English Dictionary stated “selfie” as their Word of the Year.

语言运用
第一节
主题语境：人与社会——人际沟通
本文是夹叙夹议文。再要好的朋友也需要经常联系。
41. B。根据上文中的I always considered myself a good friend以及I'm always there when my friends need me可知，作者相信自己是一个“很好的（excellent）”朋友。
42. B。根据下文中的I hadn't been doing enough以及A global health crisis made me realize I should have been keeping in touch with her better可知，在疫情期间，作者开始反思自己对待朋友的方法和态度，他“意识到了（realized）”在维系友谊方面自己一直都做得不够。下文中的I realized以及made me realize也提示本空选择realized，属于原词复现。
43. A。根据下文中的those I talk to daily ... those who are local ... those I catch up with ...以及those who I know ...可知，作者将自己的“朋友（friends）”分成了不同的类型。put ... in different buckets在英语中经常用来表示“将……分成不同的种类”。通过阅读全文可知，文章主要分享作者对友谊的看法和理解，因此friends为文章的核心词汇。
44. C。作者在此处具体介绍了自己对朋友的分类。根据上文中的those who are local可知，作者有一类朋友都是本地人，因此他们会经常“见面（meet）”。
45. C。根据上文中的those who I know are still my close friends和下文中的we barely talk可知，在作者的分类中，有一类朋友，“尽管（even though）”彼此几乎很少联系，但是依旧是彼此最亲密的朋友。
46. A。47. C。根据上文中的until the pandemic hit and I ... I hadn't been doing enough和I basically put my ... in a couple of different buckets可知，将朋友分成四种不同的类别是作者对待友谊和朋友的“方法（approach）”，这么多年来这个方法也一直“行之有效（worked）”。
48. B。根据上文中的one of my friends in the last category texted me and suggested we Wechat可知，疫情期间，作者的一位朋友发来短信，想通过微信“叙叙旧（catch up）”。上文中的those I catch up with every so often也提示本空选择catch up，属于原词复现。
49. A。50. C。根据上文中的I realized we hadn't spoken in nearly a year和两空之间的I had too many friends以及下文中的either可知，最让作者感到震惊的是有太多的朋友在疫情期间也没有“联系（contact）”他。hit作为动词时可表示“打击”，符合语境。
51. D。52. C。根据上文中的内容可知，作者认为我们平日里都“习惯了（were so used to）”不与他人主动联系，甚至疫情都没有“改变（change）”这一点。
53. B。根据上文中的And that didn't sit right with me以及下文中的took the threat of losing my friends可知，作者不愿在失去朋友时才意识到应该做更多让自己成为更好的朋友。hate表示“厌恶；讨厌”，符合语境。上文中的And that didn't sit right with me使用了not sit right / well with sb.的结构，在英语中经常用来表达“某人不同意……；不满意……”。

W: A recent study shows that life has changed for American kids. 3,568 kids aged 12 and under were asked to keep time diaries. Experts compared the results with how kids lived in 1981. They find that today, 75% of kids' weekday time is scheduled with either school or activities. In 1981, that figure was only 40%. Young people are spending more time in school, doing chores, and participating in activities like sports and music lessons. Young people today have less time for free play. Paul, a father from Massachusetts, said that when he came home from school as a child, he was able to wander around the town and form games and groups with other kids. In contrast, Catherine, 13 years old, has to eat dinner in the car at 4:30 on the way to her dance classes on Mondays, which do not end until 9:15 at night. "Sometimes I get very tired. I come home and I don't want to do anything. I have homework. I'll be almost falling asleep with doing it." said Catherine.
