Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. ①________ The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.
Before getting into the recommendation, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you're at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children's book or reading a book that you've read in Chinese translation. ②________ If you're at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modem prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.
③________ When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who's interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. ④________

三、阅读理解
I was given the book Running on Faith written by Jason Lester as a birthday gift last month. After I started reading, I really couldn't keep my eyes off it. It is always inspiring to read a story of someone who has gone through obstacles to reach his goals.
Jason Lester is a disabled extreme athlete. When he was twelve years old, a fast car ran a red light and hit him. Then he was sent into the hospital with twenty broken bones and a seriously injured arm. Jason had always wanted to become a famous baseball player, but at that time that dream was gone.
However, Jason loved sports and he still wanted to be a good athlete. He began running and taking part in duathlons(铁人两项比赛) in high school. Years later in 2004, he decided to start training for the Ironman, and has competed in many extreme races since then. In 2008, Jason became the first disabled athlete to complete the Ultraman (320 miles of biking, swimming and running), and it led him to an ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability in 2009.
If you are in a bad situation and don't know what to do now, Running on Faith is a good book for you. If you love running and want to reach some race goals, this book is good for you, too. Anyway, this book is worth reading for everyone who loves reading and wants to turn dreams into reality.

二、七选五
答案:BGDEF
解析:①考查上下文语境。根据前句"Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study."可知,每个人都需要休息,假期并不意味着要认真学习。空格后提到了春节就要到了。B项"Instead, they're a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book."表示假期是放松和看书的极好的时间段,承上启下,符合语境。
②考查上下文语境。根据前面的句子"If you're at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children's book or reading a book that you've read in Chinese translation."可知,初学者会有两个选择:读儿童读物或读过汉语翻译本的书。所以本空所在句要说明这两个选择的益处。G项表示“由于已经熟悉故事,这将帮助你克服不认识的单词或短语”,符合语境。get over any unfamiliar words or phrases是提示词。
③考查段落主题句。根据后面的内容可知,作者拿自己的阅读体验为例,在读自己喜欢的书时,即使前面几章很难理解,但还是愿意去尝试适应那本书的作者的语言风格。所以本段主要说明要选择感兴趣的书,故D项“最重要的是选一本你真正感兴趣的书”符合语境。D项中的pick a book和you're really interested in分别对应下句中的pick up a book和I like。
④考查上下文语境。上文提到,另外一个让自己有动力的方法是找一个有兴趣读同一本书的朋友。你们可以制定都想实现的目标。本空所在句与上一句为并列关系,故E项“你们也可以通过短信或电子邮件互相讨论故事情节或词汇问题”切题,且与上句都是"You can..."句式。
⑤考查上下文语境。根据本段第一句中的Some quick recommendations可知,作者在本段建议阅读时可以先从几个方面入手。所以本空要具体说明有哪几个方面。F项表示“你应该找一个感兴趣的话题或作者,剩下的将从这里开始”,符合语境。F项中的go from there与前文的go on from there前后呼应,互为提示。
三、阅读理解
答案:1-4.CBDC
解析:1.词义猜测题。结合上文It is always inspiring to read a story of someone who has gone through 以及下文to reach his goals可知,一个人为了实现目标而经历重重困难的故事总是令人鼓舞的,所以画线词意为“困难”。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"When he was twelve years old, a fast car ran a red light and hit him. Then he was sent into the hospital with twenty broken bones and a seriously injured arm."可知,Jason Lester 12岁时在一次事故中受了重伤。故选B项。
3.词义猜测题。结合上文In 2008 , Jason became the first disabled athlete to complete the Ultraman (320 miles of biking, swimming and running)可知,Jason Lester在2009年获得ESPY最佳残疾人男运动员奖,所以it指代他完成Ultraman这件事,故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者写这一段的目的是建议读者阅读Running on Faith本书,故选C项。
