Itis an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how peoplecommunicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet's languages will bedead.
Expertsagree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardestto slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number whobelieve learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the humanbrain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and peopleat risk from dementia(痴呆), where researchconsistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of thedisease for four to five years—a better result than with any medication todate.
Itis those benefits of bilingualism(双语) that shouldencourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages—Gaelic, Manx,Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.
Alreadyher work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh BilingualismMatters—now expanding across Europe and in the US—have convinced the Scottishgovernment to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottishchildren will be learning a language other than English in their first year atschool, with two other languages to be introduced later.
BilingualismMatters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits oftheir staff learning languages. "In business, people say ‘English is thelanguage of business, why would I need to learn another language？'" said Sorace. "Maybe it would mean you could do betterbusiness."
Justas disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines,disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life.The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism mightdamage children's brains. There were even suggestions it could encourageschizophrenia(精神分裂症).
Studyafter study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. "Theseprejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading peoplethat the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually ofbenefit."
24．What will happen to the majority of the world's languages
A．They will become extinct in decades.
B．They will be learnt by more academics.
C．They will prevent the risk of dementia.
D．They will help people better communicate.
25．What's Bilingualism Matters intended to do
A．Find a replacement for English.
B．Teach businesses marketing skills.
C．Promote minority language learning.
D．Influence governments' policy making.
26．What's the top priority in preserving minority languages
A．Getting rid of people's fear for mental illnesses.
B．Finding the key to promoting people's welfare.
C．Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.
D．Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.
27．Which can be the best title for the text
A．The benefits of Bilingualism
B．The founding of Bilingualism Matters
C．A new challenge facing language teaching
D．A professor fighting to save minority languages

Thereis such a thing as a free lunch, it turns out, as long as you don't mind toomuch what it is. Tamara Wilson found hers a few streets away from her westLondon home—and as well as picking up some unwanted bread and fruit that wouldotherwise be thrown away, she made a new friend.
Wilsonis one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed toencourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus(剩余的) food. "It's such a small thing, but it makes me feel good andmy neighbour feel good. And a lot of small acts can end up making a bigdifference, " she said.
Thelast few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste bylinking supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and individual households to localcommunities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listingsduring 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is continuing into 2023,said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and co founder.
Abouta third of all food produced globally is wasted, according to the UN's Food andAgriculture Organisation (FAO). Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land—close to30% of the world's agricultural land—is dedicated to producing food that isnever eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the thirdcontributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effectiveways of tackling the global climate crisis.
Olio,Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. "Theapp connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone togive it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities."Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhoodmight want. Olio also has a network of 24, 000 volunteers who collect surplusfood from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.
Despitethe success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale offood waste, Clarke added. "Even though we're doing well, we've onlyscratched the surface(触及表面). But if everyonemakes small changes in the world, we'd dramatically reduce the amount of foodthat ends up in bins(垃圾桶)."
28．What does the author want to show by telling Wilson's story
A．People tend to use apps to order food.
B．People prefer to make friends on apps.
C．People find a high tech fix to food waste.
D．People show more concern for each other.
29．What's the consequence of food waste according to the text
A．Global warming. B．Loss of land.
C．World hunger. D．Poverty and inequality.
30．What does Olio do to help tackle food waste
A．It sells surplus food to those in need.
B．It allows volunteers to stay connected.
C．It provides a platform for people to promote food.
D．It fills the information gap between green communities.
31．What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally
A．It is a great success. B．It requires joint efforts.
C．It is beyond human power. D．It has won public support.

Whilethe benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutelyessential in the pandemic(疫情), the researchsuggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creativethinking.
Brucksat Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managersreported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whethervideoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating(协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.
Tofind out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1, 490engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland,Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an houror so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. Theythen selected their best idea.
Writingin Nature, the researchers reportthat the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when workingface to face. "They are not only generating a larger number of creativeideas, but their best idea is better, " Brucks said. Virtual teams werejust as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met inperson.
"Visualfocus is a huge component of cognitive(认知) focus. When you'refocused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affectshow you approach the task, " said Brucks. "It's uniquely bad forcreativity because it's inhibiting broader exploration."
Bruckssaid the impact on the real world "could be huge", leading to adivision of labour between face to face and virtual meetings that could "permanentlyreshape the office and work schedules". But she urged businesses to becautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in person ones, they maystill be more cost effective.
Askedfor tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in personmeetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. "I think itunlocks more creative thinking, " she said.
32．Why did Brucks conduct the research
A．To prove her assumption. B．To clarify a new concept.
C．To make a comparison. D．To explain a rule.
33．What is the finding of the research
A．Face to face gatherings promote cross culture ties.
B．Workers think less creatively in virtual meetings.
C．Individual work generates more innovative ideas.
D．Videoconferencing has an irreplaceable role.
34．What does the underlined word "inhibiting" in paragraph 5 mean
A．Encouraging. B．Requiring. C．Beginning. D．Preventing.
35．What does Brucks say about virtual meetings
A．They should be used accordingly.
B．They'll make office workers divided.
C．They'll give way to in person meetings.
D．They help businesses run more efficiently.

67．（2023高三下·南通开学考）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。
On Saturday, we gathered at the hall to witness the award ceremony for the senior scouts(童子军). Receiving an award on such a day was a great honor for any scout, and all desired to be the scout selected to give the summary of the year's activities for the association.
I was not the one selected to give the summary and for that, I was grateful. I could hardly stand in front of a large crowd to make a speech, but Sean could. He was selected to do the honor because he was the President of the Boy Scouts for schools. My job was much simpler. Being the Vice President, I was very much behind the scenes, content to ensure that everything was in smooth running order.
It was an hour to go before the ceremony began, and I had put the finishing touches to the stage. Walking down the stage, I saw my teammates in a state of panic. When they saw me, they ran to me to tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and would not make it to the award ceremony. Someone else had to give the summary. All of them looked hopefully at me, and I could feel my knees beginning to collapse.
All their arguments against my unwillingness were valid. I had a copy of the speech as well as the benefit of having seen Sean rehearse(排练) it. I was the Vice President and therefore should take his place. Finally, I was firmly told not to decline any longer and they said that they were convinced that I would do the right thing. I sank down onto the floor, totally shocked by the situation.
I knew I was not a confident speaker, and the thought of presenting a summary in front of so many distinguished guests horrified me. To think that the fame of the scouts would take a beating because of me! The burden of responsibility troubled me greatly.
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。
But there was really no way out of the situation.
As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently.

Healthy friendships are also linked to a healthy heart, lower blood pressure, less depression, and a longerlife. So, as a medical professional, I always encourage people to make friends,because I know it will do them good in more ways than one. A friend of mine was lonely after his wife died. He loves books, so I suggested he join a book club at the local library. As well as sharing what they are reading, the club members go out to dinner after each meeting. My friend followed my advice and got to know several of his fellow readers and now they are good friends. The club eased his grief and brought some new happiness into his life. He looks better and you can bet he is healthier. So, if you find yourself alone and think you have no friends, go out and find some. More people than you think arein just the same boat.

"即使是一个假笑也足以向大脑传递一个信息，改变你的情绪，重新训练大脑，让它适应清醒的状态，从而减少紧张，让睡眠随之而来。可知，此处强调即使睡前的假笑也能给大脑传递信息，放松情绪有助于睡眠。因此设空处应该引出此话题，即不一定是发自内心的笑即假笑也会产生积极的作用。F. It doesn't have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile."不一定是真诚的，发自内心的微笑。"引起下文，符合语境，故选F。
40．根据空前"In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse."事实上，不断地寻找解决方案无疑会让事情变得更糟。可知，不断地寻求解决睡眠的方案可能会起到反作用，更让自己睡不着，因此设空处应该指出解决方案。D. So give sleep less of your attention."所以少睡觉吧。"承接上文。故选D。

I looked calm and collected but inside, I was a trembling mass of jelly. Although they kept encouraging me, I still felt very worried that my poor performance would cost us the opportunity to win an award. Not long after, I was called to do the presentation. Having butterflies in my stomach, I walked onto the stage.
As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently. My face turned pale, and my mind went blank. I could not remember what I was supposed to say. I was at a loss what to do when I saw my teammates smiling at me with trustful looks. It was then that I realized that I should try my best for our team. Instantly, I reorganized my thoughts, and proceeded to speak into the microphone. When I was finished, all my teammates stood up and applauded loudly.

Healthy friendships are also linked to a healthy heart, lower blood pressure, less depression, and a longerlife. So, as a medical professional, I always encourage people to make friends,because I know it will do them good in more ways than one. A friend of mine was lonely after his wife died. He loves books, so I suggested he join a book club at the local library. As well as sharing what they are reading, the club members go out to dinner after each meeting. My friend followed my advice and got to know several of his fellow readers and now they are good friends. The club eased his grief and brought some new happiness into his life. He looks better and you can bet he is healthier. So, if you find yourself alone and think you have no friends, go out and find some. More people than you think arein just the same boat. Join a group or club where people with interests like yours meet regularly: perhaps sign up for a class, learn a language, etc.

Itis an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how peoplecommunicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet's languages will bedead.
Expertsagree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardestto slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number whobelieve learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the humanbrain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and peopleat risk from dementia(痴呆), where researchconsistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of thedisease for four to five years—a better result than with any medication todate.
Itis those benefits of bilingualism(双语) that shouldencourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages—Gaelic, Manx,Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.
Alreadyher work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh BilingualismMatters—now expanding across Europe and in the US—have convinced the Scottishgovernment to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottishchildren will be learning a language other than English in their first year atschool, with two other languages to be introduced later.
BilingualismMatters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits oftheir staff learning languages. "In business, people say ‘English is thelanguage of business, why would I need to learn another language？'" said Sorace. "Maybe it would mean you could do betterbusiness."
Justas disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines,disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life.The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism mightdamage children's brains. There were even suggestions it could encourageschizophrenia(精神分裂症).
Studyafter study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. "Theseprejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading peoplethat the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually ofbenefit."
24．What will happen to the majority of the world's languages
A．They will become extinct in decades.
B．They will be learnt by more academics.
C．They will prevent the risk of dementia.
D．They will help people better communicate.
25．What's Bilingualism Matters intended to do
A．Find a replacement for English.
B．Teach businesses marketing skills.
C．Promote minority language learning.
D．Influence governments' policy making.
26．What's the top priority in preserving minority languages
A．Getting rid of people's fear for mental illnesses.
B．Finding the key to promoting people's welfare.
C．Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.
D．Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.
27．Which can be the best title for the text
A．The benefits of Bilingualism
B．The founding of Bilingualism Matters
C．A new challenge facing language teaching
D．A professor fighting to save minority languages

25．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters — now expanding across Europe and in the US — have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools.”她的工作和她三年前在爱丁堡创立的项目Bilingualism Matters — 该项目目前正在欧洲和美国推广— 已经说服苏格兰政府在小学引入语言课程；第三段“It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages — Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.”这就是双语的好处她说，这应该鼓励我们保存和保护欧洲的少数民族语言——盖尔语、曼克斯语、康沃尔语和阿尔斯特苏格兰语；以及第五段中的“Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages.”Bilingualism Matters也在努力鼓励企业考虑员工学习语言的好处。可知，Bilingualism Matters打算要推广小语种的学习。故选C。
26．考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damage children's brains.”第一场战斗是推翻流行的假设，即双语可能会损害儿童的大脑。可知，保护小语种的首要任务就是纠正人们对于双语的误解。故选D。

Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land—close to30% of the world's agricultural land—is dedicated to producing food that isnever eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the thirdcontributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effectiveways of tackling the global climate crisis.
Olio,Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. "Theapp connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone togive it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities."Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhoodmight want. Olio also has a network of 24, 000 volunteers who collect surplusfood from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.
Despitethe success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale offood waste, Clarke added. "Even though we're doing well, we've onlyscratched the surface(触及表面). But if everyonemakes small changes in the world, we'd dramatically reduce the amount of foodthat ends up in bins(垃圾桶)."
28．What does the author want to show by telling Wilson's story
A．People tend to use apps to order food.
B．People prefer to make friends on apps.
C．People find a high tech fix to food waste.
D．People show more concern for each other.
29．What's the consequence of food waste according to the text
A．Global warming. B．Loss of land.
C．World hunger. D．Poverty and inequality.
30．What does Olio do to help tackle food waste
A．It sells surplus food to those in need.
B．It allows volunteers to stay connected.
C．It provides a platform for people to promote food.
D．It fills the information gap between green communities.
31．What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally
A．It is a great success. B．It requires joint efforts.
C．It is beyond human power. D．It has won public support.
【答案】28．C
29．A

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款名为Olio的App，该应用程序主要是将有多余食物的人与需要食物的人在社区中联系起来，充分的利用过度生产未被使用的食物，减少浪费。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇介绍类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
28．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. ”威尔逊是全球340万使用该应用程序的人之一，该应用程序旨在鼓励人们放弃而不是扔掉多余的食物。可知，威尔逊使用应用程序来捡到一些面包和水果之外，还交了一个新朋友，即通过她的故事展示人们找到了解决食物浪费的高科技方法。故选C。
29．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land — close to 30% of the world's agricultural land — is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.” 近14亿公顷土地(接近世界农业用地的30%)用于生产从未食用的食物，而食物浪费的碳足迹使其成为二氧化碳的第三个来源。减少食物浪费是应对全球气候危机最有效的方法之一。可知，过度的未食用食物的生产会导致增加碳排放，由此造成全球气候危机即全球变暖。故选A。
30．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.” 这款应用程序将人们与其他有多余食物但没有人可以施舍的人联系起来，因为很多人与他们的社区脱节。可知，Olio作为一款app其主要是将有多余食物的人与需要食物的人在社区中联系起来，充分的利用过度生产未被使用的食物，减少浪费。由此该应用程序填补了绿色社区之间的信息鸿沟。故选D。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we'd dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (垃圾桶) .”但如果每个人都能对这个世界做出小小的改变，我们就能大幅减少垃圾桶里的食物数量。可知，Clarke认为减少食物浪费需要每个人的努力付出，即需要共同努力。故选B。

Whilethe benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutelyessential in the pandemic(疫情), the researchsuggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creativethinking.
Brucksat Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managersreported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whethervideoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating(协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.
Tofind out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1, 490engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland,Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an houror so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. Theythen selected their best idea.
Writingin Nature, the researchers reportthat the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when workingface to face. "They are not only generating a larger number of creativeideas, but their best idea is better, " Brucks said. Virtual teams werejust as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met inperson.
"Visualfocus is a huge component of cognitive(认知) focus. When you'refocused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affectshow you approach the task, " said Brucks. "It's uniquely bad forcreativity because it's inhibiting broader exploration."
Bruckssaid the impact on the real world "could be huge", leading to adivision of labour between face to face and virtual meetings that could "permanentlyreshape the office and work schedules". But she urged businesses to becautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in person ones, they maystill be more cost effective.
Askedfor tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in personmeetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. "I think itunlocks more creative thinking, " she said.
32．Why did Brucks conduct the research
A．To prove her assumption. B．To clarify a new concept.
C．To make a comparison. D．To explain a rule.
33．What is the finding of the research
A．Face to face gatherings promote cross culture ties.
B．Workers think less creatively in virtual meetings.
C．Individual work generates more innovative ideas.
D．Videoconferencing has an irreplaceable role.
34．What does the underlined word "inhibiting" in paragraph 5 mean
A．Encouraging. B．Requiring. C．Beginning. D．Preventing.
35．What does Brucks say about virtual meetings
A．They should be used accordingly.
B．They'll make office workers divided.
C．They'll give way to in person meetings.
D．They help businesses run more efficiently.
【答案】32．A
33．B

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；科普环保类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，通过研究者的调查研究，阐述了虽然在疫情期间视频会议起到了至关重要的作用，但是过度依赖会削弱创造性思维的观点。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科研部类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.”Brucks怀疑视频会议是否是一个因素，他怀疑在线协调大型全球团队的困难反而应负主要责任；以及第三段中的“To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. ”为了找到答案，研究人员分析了一家跨国公司1490名工程师提出的新产品创意。可知，Brucks进行研究是为了证明自己的怀疑和假设。故选A。
33．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Writing in Nature, the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. ”研究人员在《自然》杂志上撰文称，当工程师面对面工作时，他们会产生更多的想法，更有创新性的想法。可知，工程师面对面工作时比虚拟会议中有更多的创新思维。故选B。
34．考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的“When you're focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task,”当你专注于屏幕而忽略环境的其他部分时，这会影响你完成任务的方式。可知，人们在虚拟会议中，注意力都集中在屏幕上，就会对创新思维产生影响，阻止人们进行更广泛的探索和思考；以及“It's uniquely bad for creativity because it's inhibiting broader exploration.”这对创造力特别不利，因为它抑制了更广泛的探索。划线词 inhibiting 指“阻止、抑制”。故选D。
35．考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“Brucks said the impact on the real world ‘could be huge', leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could ‘permanently reshape the office and work schedules'.”Brucks表示，这对现实世界的影响“可能是巨大的”，导致面对面会议和虚拟会议之间的分工，可能“永久性地重塑办公室和工作时间表”；以及“But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be more cost-effective.”但她敦促企业保持谨慎，因为如果虚拟会议比面对面会议便宜，它们可能仍然更具成本效益。可知，Brucks提到了面对面会议和虚拟会议会因为各自的优缺点而造成相应的分工，人们应该根据各自的需求而使用虚拟会议。故选A。

【知识点】七选五
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些可能有效改善睡眠的方法。
【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇健康类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
36．根据空前"People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded."人们尝试了各种方法来获得更多的睡眠。但与生活中几乎所有其他领域不同的是，努力是没有回报的。可知，此处强调的是人们尽管通过各种方法获得睡眠，但并非总是有效的；以及空后"The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. "你越努力，成功的可能性就越小。可知，越是积极地努力，成功的可能性越小。故设空处应该强调的是付出的种种努力没有得到回报，反而得到了消极的惩罚。B. In fact, it is actively punished. "事实上，它受到了积极的惩罚。"承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
37．根据空后"There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month."从现在到就寝时间，你做什么都不能保证你今晚能睡得着。然而，你可以开始做很多事情来提高你下个月睡得好的机会。可知，此处强调不要为当下的睡眠做出积极的准备，因为从现在到就寝时间，你所做的事情不一定能保证你能睡着。所以应该放弃尝试今晚睡觉，可以在未来的时间中为睡眠作积极的准备。C. Give up trying to sleep tonight."放弃尝试今晚睡觉。"符合语境。故选C。
38．根据空前" And don't take naps (小睡) in the day."不要在白天打盹。可知，此处指出白天不要小睡，后文应该指出这样做的结果。E. They take the edge off your appetite for sleep."它们会降低你的睡眠欲望。"承接上文，指出白天打盹会降低夜晚睡眠的欲望，不易睡眠。故选E。
39．根据空前"Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you tum the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark."微笑可以减少紧张，促进放松。当你在晚上熄灯时，试着想一些有趣的事情，在黑暗中对自己微笑。可知，微笑可以缓解压力，有助于睡眠；以及空后"Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow. "即使是一个假笑也足以向大脑传递一个信息，改变你的情绪，重新训练大脑，让它适应清醒的状态，从而减少紧张，让睡眠随之而来。可知，此处强调即使睡前的假笑也能给大脑传递信息，放松情绪有助于睡眠。因此设空处应该引出此话题，即不一定是发自内心的笑即假笑也会产生积极的作用。F. It doesn't have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile."不一定是真诚的，发自内心的微笑。"引起下文，符合语境，故选F。
40．根据空前"In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse."事实上，不断地寻找解决方案无疑会让事情变得更糟。可知，不断地寻求解决睡眠的方案可能会起到反作用，更让自己睡不着，因此设空处应该指出解决方案。D. So give sleep less of your attention."所以少睡觉吧。"承接上文。故选D。

67．（2023高三下·南通开学考）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。
On Saturday, we gathered at the hall to witness the award ceremony for the senior scouts(童子军). Receiving an award on such a day was a great honor for any scout, and all desired to be the scout selected to give the summary of the year's activities for the association.
I was not the one selected to give the summary and for that, I was grateful. I could hardly stand in front of a large crowd to make a speech, but Sean could. He was selected to do the honor because he was the President of the Boy Scouts for schools. My job was much simpler. Being the Vice President, I was very much behind the scenes, content to ensure that everything was in smooth running order.
It was an hour to go before the ceremony began, and I had put the finishing touches to the stage. Walking down the stage, I saw my teammates in a state of panic. When they saw me, they ran to me to tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and would not make it to the award ceremony. Someone else had to give the summary. All of them looked hopefully at me, and I could feel my knees beginning to collapse.
All their arguments against my unwillingness were valid. I had a copy of the speech as well as the benefit of having seen Sean rehearse(排练) it. I was the Vice President and therefore should take his place. Finally, I was firmly told not to decline any longer and they said that they were convinced that I would do the right thing. I sank down onto the floor, totally shocked by the situation.
I knew I was not a confident speaker, and the thought of presenting a summary in front of so many distinguished guests horrified me. To think that the fame of the scouts would take a beating because of me! The burden of responsibility troubled me greatly.
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。
But there was really no way out of the situation.
As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently.
【答案】But there was really no way out of the situation. In the end, I quickly rehearsed the speech and got ready to go on stage for the presentation. I looked calm and collected but inside, I was a trembling mass of jelly. Although they kept encouraging me, I still felt very worried that my poor performance would cost us the opportunity to win an award. Not long after, I was called to do the presentation. Having butterflies in my stomach, I walked onto the stage.
As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently. My face turned pale, and my mind went blank. I could not remember what I was supposed to say. I was at a loss what to do when I saw my teammates smiling at me with trustful looks. It was then that I realized that I should try my best for our team. Instantly, I reorganized my thoughts, and proceeded to speak into the microphone. When I was finished, all my teammates stood up and applauded loudly.
