Washington is home to lots of trees—it is the Evergreen State, after all—and lots of fireplaces and wood burning stoves too. But what if you lived there and couldn't chop wood or couldn't afford to pay someone to do it Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to lend an ax. The three men chop truckloads of wood—then donate it to those in need. “I want people who are burning cardboard because they've got nothing，” Shane explained to . “Or because they've got nothing，” Shane explained to .“Or someone with no money who has a broken shoulder and can't cut wood.”
The idea started as a father son bonding project he told msn.com.“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it，” says Shane. He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 like a clan of Paul Bunyans. The result was a great wall of wood piled up around their house.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted on Facebook: “IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM (personal message) ME！... Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD.”
Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four year old daughter rely on wood burning stove as their only source of heat, so it was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays. “To get that much wood brought me to tears，” told msn.com.“So much stress and anxiety is off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful.”
Shane is OK with that. “Giving is the reward，” he says. “It has nothing to do with how well it's received, it's about how much it's needed.”
4．Why did Shane want to help others
A．He was a rich man.
B．He liked chopping wood.
C．He didn't need so much wood.
D．He was willing to carry out his family's tradition.
5．How did others know Shane's help
A．Via the Internet.
B．By telephoning Shane.
C．By advertising in the newspaper.
D．By sending the message to each other.
6．What was Katelyn Ticer's reaction to the McDaniels' help
A．Stressed. B．Satisfied.
C．Grateful. D．Anxious.
7．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．How to get wood for free
B．What you did will be paid back.
C．People in Washington need wood greatly.
D．A family warmed others by chopping wood.

Unluckily, there are some rules that teenagers should be allowed to learn in school, but not. They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.
Rule 1: Life is not fair. Try to learn to get used to it. Many people won't understand the real meaning of this rule until they've failed to find fairness again and again.
Rule 2: The real world won't care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school. Then you'll be sure of what to do with real world.
Rule 3: If you think your teacher is terrible, wait until you get a boss. Your boss won't ask how you feel about your work and will never give you more care or help. He'll only care about how much money you can help him earn.
Rule 4: TV is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom (情景喜剧). Your problems won't be solved in 30 or 45 minutes. In real life, people usually have to leave the coffee stores to look for jobs.

What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travellers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen Who knows Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.
12．What is the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To show time and space are connected.
B．To show people's interest in time travel.
C．To draw readers' attention to time travel.
D．To make people believe time travel is possible.
13．Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with
A．Time travel is possible in the future.
B．People can't move faster than light.
C．Time travel is against scientific rules.
D．Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.
14．What is the last but one paragraph mainly about
A．The first science fiction story.
B．Some tools used in time travel.
C．Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.
D．Different works about time travel.
15．What is the writer's attitude toward time travel
A．Cautious. B．Approving.
C．Doubtful. D．Hopeful.

How to Plan a Vacation
A vacation is supposed to be a fun and relaxing break from your everyday life.
16 Be ready to enjoy your time off by planning your travel, accommodations, and activities ahead of time. Giving yourself plenty of time to plan can be a fun way to build up excitement for your vacation.
Decide why you want to travel. 17 Thinking of whether your goal is to relax and unwind, have new adventures, see famous or ancient sights, or provide your children with lifelong memories will determine what kind of destination you should choose.
18 Instead of making this a chore, have it be a fun activity. Over the course of a few days, weeks or other long duration you wish, spend some time talking about each place and why it would make a good destination.
Research destination costs. While you may take more time after choosing a destination to find great deals on travel and hotel arrangements, doing a quick online search of approximate costs to travel to each destination may help you narrow your choices based on your budget.
Choose a destination. 19 If there is disagreement, find a way to compromise.
Choose when to travel. Depending on the season, a destination which is normally too hot or cold for you to consider might have a more enjoyable climate at a different time of the year. 20
A．Consider everyone who will be travelling with you.
B．Discuss possible destinations with your fellow travellers.
C．Ideally, everyone who is travelling will agree on the same place.
D．However, a poorly planned vacation can end up being a major headache.
E．If you know why you want to leave home, choosing a destination will be easier.
F．This might also be reflected in a lower cost, if you decide to travel out of season.
G. Keep in mind expenses to travel, stay and eat while you are developing your estimates.

I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship.
My parents moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs but they didn't realize I was really hurt when I said goodbye to my old friends. It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history; nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.
Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!
It was another ordinary day.
I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. ______
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship！

The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travellers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen Who knows Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.

How to Plan a Vacation
A vacation is supposed to be a fun and relaxing break from your everyday life.
16 Be ready to enjoy your time off by planning your travel, accommodations, and activities ahead of time. Giving yourself plenty of time to plan can be a fun way to build up excitement for your vacation.
Decide why you want to travel. 17 Thinking of whether your goal is to relax and unwind, have new adventures, see famous or ancient sights, or provide your children with lifelong memories will determine what kind of destination you should choose.
18 Instead of making this a chore, have it be a fun activity. Over the course of a few days, weeks or other long duration you wish, spend some time talking about each place and why it would make a good destination.
Research destination costs. While you may take more time after choosing a destination to find great deals on travel and hotel arrangements, doing a quick online search of approximate costs to travel to each destination may help you narrow your choices based on your budget.
Choose a destination. 19 If there is disagreement, find a way to compromise.
Choose when to travel. Depending on the season, a destination which is normally too hot or cold for you to consider might have a more enjoyable climate at a different time of the year. 20
A．Consider everyone who will be travelling with you.
B．Discuss possible destinations with your fellow travellers.
C．Ideally, everyone who is travelling will agree on the same place.
D．However, a poorly planned vacation can end up being a major headache.
E．If you know why you want to leave home, choosing a destination will be easier.
F．This might also be reflected in a lower cost, if you decide to travel out of season.
G. Keep in mind expenses to travel, stay and eat while you are developing your estimates.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship.
My parents moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs but they didn't realize I was really hurt when I said goodbye to my old friends. It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history; nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.
Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!
It was another ordinary day.
I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. ______
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship！

_________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. I didn't notice it and stood up with all my strength. Unfortunately, my schoolbag was torn apart and all the contents fell on the ground. I knelt down to pick them up. Suddenly, I saw a hand passing me some of the books. I looked up and found it was Emily who was helping me. With her help, I put all the contents back to my schoolbag. I began to talk with her and was surprised to find that we had much in common.
I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship! One day when I told her that I admired her and how I wished to be a friend of hers, she said, “We have already been friends.” I felt so happy that I even sang a song. Hearing my song, she thought highly of it and asked me to teach her to sing it. She made me realize how unique I was and at last I came out of my shell.

Washington is home to lots of trees—it is the Evergreen State, after all—and lots of fireplaces and wood burning stoves too. But what if you lived there and couldn't chop wood or couldn't afford to pay someone to do it Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to lend an ax. The three men chop truckloads of wood—then donate it to those in need. “I want people who are burning cardboard because they've got nothing，” Shane explained to . “Or because they've got nothing，” Shane explained to .“Or someone with no money who has a broken shoulder and can't cut wood.”
The idea started as a father son bonding project he told msn.com.“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it，” says Shane. He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 like a clan of Paul Bunyans. The result was a great wall of wood piled up around their house.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted on Facebook: “IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM (personal message) ME！... Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD.”
Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four year old daughter rely on wood burning stove as their only source of heat, so it was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays. “To get that much wood brought me to tears，” told msn.com.“So much stress and anxiety is off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful.”
Shane is OK with that. “Giving is the reward，” he says. “It has nothing to do with how well it's received, it's about how much it's needed.”
4．Why did Shane want to help others
A．He was a rich man.
B．He liked chopping wood.

C．By advertising in the newspaper.
D．By sending the message to each other.

C．Grateful. D．Anxious.
7．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．How to get wood for free
B．What you did will be paid back.
C．People in Washington need wood greatly.
D．A family warmed others by chopping wood.

Unluckily, there are some rules that teenagers should be allowed to learn in school, but not. They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.
Rule 1: Life is not fair. Try to learn to get used to it. Many people won't understand the real meaning of this rule until they've failed to find fairness again and again.
Rule 2: The real world won't care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school. Then you'll be sure of what to do with real world.
Rule 3: If you think your teacher is terrible, wait until you get a boss. Your boss won't ask how you feel about your work and will never give you more care or help. He'll only care about how much money you can help him earn.
Rule 4: TV is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom (情景喜剧). Your problems won't be solved in 30 or 45 minutes. In real life, people usually have to leave the coffee stores to look for jobs.
Rule 5: Smoking does not make you look cool. Instead, it makes you look moronic (低能的). At the same time, purple hair and pierced body parts make you look like a silly kid. A grown up teenager should know how to be smart.
8．How will the real world treat teenagers when they leave school
A．It'll care about them as their schools do.

What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travellers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen Who knows Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.
12．What is the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To show time and space are connected.
B．To show people's interest in time travel.
C．To draw readers' attention to time travel.
D．To make people believe time travel is possible.
13．Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with
A．Time travel is possible in the future.
B．People can't move faster than light.
C．Time travel is against scientific rules.
D．Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.
14．What is the last but one paragraph mainly about
A．The first science fiction story.

Besides the 25 questions, they would also ask brain teasers (脑筋急转弯). At that time, I knew the interview was a make or break procedure. I 26 knew I couldn't control the outcome, 27 I could control my efforts. I bought Mind Trap, a game which is full of brain teasers. To
28 my chances of answering the questions right, I had to train my brain hard. On the flight to Austin, I spent 2.5 hours 29 . When I got there, I continued with the game. I understood I wasn't the 30 person they were going to interview. However, even if I couldn't win at intelligence, I had to win at hard work. Working hard paid off—I 31 got the job!
At an early age I 32 life isn't easy. It takes hard work to get what you want out of life. Because of hard work, I got into the famous Vanderbilt University, 33 the college track records in studies, got my first good 34 out of college, and then made money to buy my first car, and I have been achieving my goals faster than I expected.

I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship.
My parents moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs but they didn't realize I was really hurt when I said goodbye to my old friends. It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history; nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.
Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!
It was another ordinary day.
I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.

Washington is home to lots of trees—it is the Evergreen State, after all—and lots of fireplaces and wood burning stoves too. But what if you lived there and couldn't chop wood or couldn't afford to pay someone to do it Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to lend an ax. The three men chop truckloads of wood—then donate it to those in need. “I want people who are burning cardboard because they've got nothing，” Shane explained to . “Or because they've got nothing，” Shane explained to .“Or someone with no money who has a broken shoulder and can't cut wood.”
The idea started as a father son bonding project he told msn.com.“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it，” says Shane. He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 like a clan of Paul Bunyans. The result was a great wall of wood piled up around their house.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted on Facebook: “IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM (personal message) ME！... Please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD.”
Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four year old daughter rely on wood burning stove as their only source of heat, so it was a relief to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays. “To get that much wood brought me to tears，” told msn.com.“So much stress and anxiety is off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful.”
Shane is OK with that. “Giving is the reward，” he says. “It has nothing to do with how well it's received, it's about how much it's needed.”

Unluckily, there are some rules that teenagers should be allowed to learn in school, but not. They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.
Rule 1: Life is not fair. Try to learn to get used to it. Many people won't understand the real meaning of this rule until they've failed to find fairness again and again.
Rule 2: The real world won't care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school. Then you'll be sure of what to do with real world.
Rule 3: If you think your teacher is terrible, wait until you get a boss. Your boss won't ask how you feel about your work and will never give you more care or help. He'll only care about how much money you can help him earn.
Rule 4: TV is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom (情景喜剧). Your problems won't be solved in 30 or 45 minutes. In real life, people usually have to leave the coffee stores to look for jobs.
Rule 5: Smoking does not make you look cool. Instead, it makes you look moronic (低能的). At the same time, purple hair and pierced body parts make you look like a silly kid. A grown up teenager should know how to be smart.

What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travellers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen Who knows Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.
【语篇解读】 本文一篇说明文。主要讲了时光旅行是否能够成为可能，分别引用了科学家阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和斯蒂芬·霍金对于时空旅行的看法，并介绍了关于时光旅行的不同作品。
12．What is the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To show time and space are connected.
B．To show people's interest in time travel.
C．To draw readers' attention to time travel.
D．To make people believe time travel is possible.
C [推理判断题。根据第一段“What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased(如果我们有能力控制时间，而不是从过去到现在到未来，会怎么样？如果我们能在机器里跳跃、循环和穿越时间会怎样？如果我们可以去任何我们想去的地方和时间呢)？”由此可知，作者写第一段的目的是吸引读者对时光旅行的注意。故选C。]
13．Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with
A．Time travel is possible in the future.
B．People can't move faster than light.
C．Time travel is against scientific rules.
D．Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.
A [推理判断题。根据第五段中“Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel(爱因斯坦提出了两种观点，这两种观点导致了关于时光旅行可能性的理论)．”由此可推知，爱因斯坦会同意A选项“时光旅行在未来是可能的”的说法。故选A。]
14．What is the last but one paragraph mainly about
A．The first science fiction story.
B．Some tools used in time travel.
C．Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.
D．Different works about time travel.
D [主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travellers backward and forward(第一个以这个话题为主题的科幻故事是Edward P. Mitchell的《倒转的钟》，出版于1881年。从那时起，成千上万的书籍、电影和电视节目都在探索时光旅行的概念，其中一些工具，如手机、手表、照片和旧书，带着旅行者来回穿梭)．”由此可知，倒数第二段主要内容是关于时光旅行的不同作品。故选D。]
15．What is the writer's attitude toward time travel
A．Cautious. B．Approving.
C．Doubtful. D．Hopeful.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段“Will time travel ever happen Who knows Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder(时光旅行真的会发生吗？谁知道呢？最重要的是睁大你的眼睛，保持一种好奇的感觉)．”由此可知，作者对于时光旅行的态度是充满希望的。故选D。]

How to Plan a Vacation
A vacation is supposed to be a fun and relaxing break from your everyday life.
16 Be ready to enjoy your time off by planning your travel, accommodations, and activities ahead of time. Giving yourself plenty of time to plan can be a fun way to build up excitement for your vacation.
Decide why you want to travel. 17 Thinking of whether your goal is to relax and unwind, have new adventures, see famous or ancient sights, or provide your children with lifelong memories will determine what kind of destination you should choose.
18 Instead of making this a chore, have it be a fun activity. Over the course of a few days, weeks or other long duration you wish, spend some time talking about each place and why it would make a good destination.
Research destination costs. While you may take more time after choosing a destination to find great deals on travel and hotel arrangements, doing a quick online search of approximate costs to travel to each destination may help you narrow your choices based on your budget.
Choose a destination. 19 If there is disagreement, find a way to compromise.
Choose when to travel. Depending on the season, a destination which is normally too hot or cold for you to consider might have a more enjoyable climate at a different time of the year. 20
A．Consider everyone who will be travelling with you.
B．Discuss possible destinations with your fellow travellers.
C．Ideally, everyone who is travelling will agree on the same place.
D．However, a poorly planned vacation can end up being a major headache.
E．If you know why you want to leave home, choosing a destination will be easier.
F．This might also be reflected in a lower cost, if you decide to travel out of season.
G. Keep in mind expenses to travel, stay and eat while you are developing your estimates.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个把制作宁溪陶艺作为自己事业的大学毕业生——唐天元。虽然创业的道路很艰苦，但他因为自己在此过程中的收获而感到幸福。
36．building [ 此处是固定短语succeed in doing sth. “成功做某事”，介词in后接doing，故填building。]
37．who [分析句子可知，此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词Tang在从句中充当主语，指人，应用关系代词who，故填who。]
38．varieties [variety “种类”是可数名词，根据four判断此处用该词的复数形式，故填varieties。]
39．Originally [分析句子可知，此处应用副词作状语修饰后面整个句子，故填Originally。]
40．taking [ 分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词和while一起构成时间状语，逻辑主语he和take之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，故填taking。]
41．compared [分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语orders和compare之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故填compared。]
42．the [句意：到目前为止，这个28岁的年轻人已经从事制作宁溪陶艺五年了，令他印象最深刻的是他所获得的幸福。根据句意可知，此处特指Tang Tianyuan这个28岁的年轻人，应用定冠词，故填the。]
43．has achieved [ 分析句子可知，此处是定语从句的谓语动词，根据句意和语境判断此处是现在完成时，主语he是第三人称单数，应用has done，故填has achieved。]
44．it [句意：他说把事业建立在能够养活自己并获得公众的认可的兴趣上是值得的。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处应填代词it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动名词短语。故填it。]
45．recognition [分析句子可知，此处应填名词作为动词gain的宾语，“认可”是抽象名词，不可数，故填recognition。]

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship.
My parents moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs but they didn't realize I was really hurt when I said goodbye to my old friends. It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history; nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.
Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!
It was another ordinary day.
I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；

When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. ______

[参考范文]
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. I didn't notice it and stood up with all my strength. Unfortunately, my schoolbag was torn apart and all the contents fell on the ground. I knelt down to pick them up. Suddenly, I saw a hand passing me some of the books. I looked up and found it was Emily who was helping me. With her help, I put all the contents back to my schoolbag. I began to talk with her and was surprised to find that we had much in common.
I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship! One day when I told her that I admired her and how I wished to be a friend of hers, she said, “We have already been friends.” I felt so happy that I even sang a song. Hearing my song, she thought highly of it and asked me to teach her to sing it. She made me realize how unique I was and at last I came out of my shell.
