英语试题
第一部分 听力
1—5 CAABC 6—10 BBACA 11—15 BCCAC 16—20 CBABA
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了本年度讨论最多的四本书。
21. B 细节理解题。根据第二本书介绍中的“This book describes his own experience of moving from Khartoum, Sudan, to Kingston, Canada, in the early 2000s at age 12.”可知，Abdelmahmoud在书中记录了他自己12岁时从苏丹喀土穆搬到加拿大金斯敦的经历。由此可知，Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces这本书是作者生活经历的真实写照。故选B。
22. B 细节理解题。根据第一本书介绍中的“a new series of historical fantasy novels”“a group of children with magical gifts”以及第三本书介绍中的“Ning, the heroine of Lin’s first novel ... Young Adult fantasy rich in Chinese mythology (神话)”可知，这两本书都以想象中的世界为背景。故选B。
23. A 推理判断题。根据题干中的A Ballet of Lepers可将解题信息定位至最后一本书的介绍。根据最后一本书介绍中的“the novel contained in the book”和“This book also includes a radio play script (剧本) and a handful of short stories.”可知，这本书不仅包含小说，还包括广播剧剧本和短篇故事，因此可推知这本书是一本作品集。故选A。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐家Kanga利用先进的现代技术，打破乐器自身的局限性，给观众呈现了新颖的音乐表演形式，从而为他们带来不一样的音乐体验的故事。
24. B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，题干中的“technological advancements”指的是“motion sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), live-generated 3D visuals and virtual reality”，即运动传感器、人工智能、实时生成3D画面及虚拟现实，而它们的功能在于“has changed the limits of the forms of musical performances”和“to unlock new possibilities of music and performances”，也就是提供了音乐表演的新形式。故选B。
25. D 推理判断题。根据第二段的首句可知，Kanga采用尖端技术最初是受到他所选择乐器的相对局限性的影响。再根据第二段最后一句中的“but it does have certain limitations in terms of the types of sound you can create”可知，钢琴在创造声音类型方面确实有一定的局限性。由此可知，Kanga谈论钢琴是为了说明他使用技术的原因。故选D。
26. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He performs the piece using MiMU multi-sensor gloves ... ‘And then I can control that sound just by moving my wrist through the air — I can do that with lots of different gestures.’”可知，Kanga在表演Steel on Bone时会使用MiMU传感手套，抬起手指能发出特定的声音，在空中移动手腕则可以控制声音，即通过在空中移动手的方式来表演曲目。故选A。
27. C 标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了音乐家Kanga利用先进的现代技术，打破乐器自身的局限性，给观众呈现了新颖的音乐表演形式。也就是说，Kanga将音乐和科技融合在了一起。故选C。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了波士顿东北大学的副教授郑义发明了一种可持续材料“冷却纸”，它可以在不依赖传统的冷却系统的前提下使建筑物或其他物体保持凉爽。
28. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What if your home could stay cool all on its own That’s the premise (前提) of Zheng Yi’s new invention.”可知，郑义的新发明的前提是房子可以自己保持冷却这一想法；再结合本段最后一句中的“keep cool without relying on conventional cooling systems”及常识可知，这种材料自行冷却的能力是不依赖于传统的冷却系统的，即不使用电力。由此可知，郑义是基于“不使用电冷却空气”这一想法来进行发明创造的。故选C。
29. A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It reflects those warm solar rays away from the building, and it also absorbs heat inside — heat that is from electronics, cooking and human bodies.”可知，这种材料能将温暖的太阳光线反射出去，还能吸收来自室内的电子设备、烹饪和人体的热量。也就是说，这种材料有两种工作方式。故选A。
30. D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One day, Zheng saw a container full of used printing paper ... He then made it into waterproof ‘cooling paper’ that could coat homes.”可知，一天，郑义看到一个装满用过的打印纸的箱子。他当时想是否能将这些废弃材料变为能源材料，随后他在厨房里的高速搅拌机的帮助下，将其与构成聚四氟乙烯的原料混合，制成了一种纸浆，然后他将其制成防水的“冷却纸”。由此可知，废纸给了郑义发明冷却纸的灵感。故选D。
31. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The material can be used, exposed to solar radiation and various temperatures, and then reduced to a pulp (again) and remade without losing any of its cooling properties.”可知，这种材料可以被使用，暴露在太阳辐射和不同的温度下，然后被还原成浆，并在不失去任何冷却性能的情况下被重新制作。由此可推知，最后一段在强调冷却纸是可以回收利用的。故选B。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章文主要说明了城市公园的重要性，介绍了华沙Pole Mokotowskie公园通过拆除混凝土来提高其自然可持续性的情况。
32. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people”可知，华沙Pole Mokotowskie公园坐落于一所大学、一个体育馆和国家图书馆附近，为许多人提供绿色空间。由此可推知，这个公园服务不同的群体。故选B。
33. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife”可知，这些项目为各种各样的野生动物增加了必要的走廊和停留点，也就是说，这些项目为各种各样的野生动物提供了更多的空间。故选D。
34. A 词义猜测题。上文“Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city’s features to shape themselves naturally ...”说明，清除池塘和其他水道内部及周围的混凝土来让城市的特征自然形成，由此推知，混凝土会限制城市特征的自然形成。故猜测，removing artificial constraints指的是去除人为的“限制”。故选A。
35. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting.”可知，这些亭子通过收集雨水来助力公园的生态系统。故选B。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了生活中人们缺乏耐心的事实，并介绍了变得更有耐心的方法。
36. F 根据本空上文可知，我们生活在一个即时满足和快递隔日送达的世界。我们可以让人马上把我们想要的东西送到家门口，可以在任何时候从各种各样的娱乐选择中挑选。F项“因此，对我们大多数人来说，保持耐心变得越来越困难。”与上文构成因果关系，说明现代生活的便捷使大多数人变得越来越难以保持耐心。故选F。
37. A 空前一句中的“anything good rarely happens quickly”指出，好事很少会很快发生；空后一句中的“You have to develop your patience over time”说明，随着时间的推移，你必须通过采取实际行动来培养你的耐心。空处语意应呼应上文并引出下文。A项“好事的发生通常需要大量的工作和长时间的等待。”符合语境。故选A。
38. G 根据本段主旨句“Make yourself wait on things.”可知，本段内容是建议通过等待来使自己变得更有耐心。G项“努力克服任何让你焦虑的事情并强迫自己等待。”与本段的主旨句相呼应，且空后一句中的It指代本句所提到的内容，anxious也是原词复现。故选G。
39. C 空处位于段首，为本段的主旨句。下文内容“Sometimes pause actually means there is hope. Perhaps you’ll meet a lot of wonderful people while waiting in line, or you will find that something put off is actually better in the future.”介绍的都是延迟好的一面。因此C项“教会自己看到延迟好的一面。”能概括本段主旨，符合语境，且选项中的delays与下文中的“something put off”相呼应。故选C。
40. D 本段说明生活中充满了延迟。D项对段首主旨句进行解释，说明没有通往幸福或成功的捷径。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用

本文是一篇记叙文。作者小时候总是远距离欣赏大自然的美，为人父母后，在自己孩子们的影响下，她的态度逐渐发生了改变，开始近距离拥抱大自然。

45. D 考查形容词辨析。根据上文中的“crowded and polluted cities”可知，此处表示在拥挤且受污染的城市里长大的经历让作者的父母认为，孩子待在室内可能会更安全（safer）。故选D。
46. A 考查动词辨析。根据空前的“Without knowing it”和上文提到的一家人一起去海边却都不下车拥抱大自然可知，作者父母的态度潜移默化地影响了（influence）她，使她也不愿意与大自然亲密接触。confuse“使困惑”；bother“使烦恼”；remind“提醒”。故选A。
47. D 考查名词辨析。根据下文讲述的作者的改变可知，此处表示作者的孩子带她走上了另一条路（path）。此处path指和大自然亲密接触之路。career“职业”。故选D。
48. C 考查名词辨析。根据上文中的“They liked observing earthworms and jumping in mud”可知，作者的孩子们对大自然感到好奇（curiosity）。concern“担心；关心”；doubt“怀疑”；knowledge“知识”。故选C。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国在保护文化遗产方面所取得的成就。
56. an 考查冠词。此处表示泛指，且event是以元音音素开头的单数名词。故填不定冠词an。
57. to make 考查非谓语动词。此处是“疑问词＋动词不定式”结构，在句中作discussed的宾语。故填to make。
58. has grown 考查时态和主谓一致。根据“Since joining the World Heritage Convention in 1985”可知，句子应用现在完成时。“the number of ...”作主语时，谓语动词应用单数形式，所以此处的助动词应用has。故填has grown。
59. allowing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词，所以空处应填非谓语动词形式。“the number of world heritage sites in China”与“allow”之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处应填现在分词形式作结果状语。故填allowing。
60. which 考查定语从句。“China has added 15 new world heritage sites”和“six of _____ have been included in the relevant lists of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)”之间没有连词，且由逗号隔开，由此可判断出“six of ... intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)”是非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是“数词＋介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，关系代词指代“15 new world heritage sites”，指物。故填which。
61. abundant 考查词性转换。空处在名词前作定语，应用形容词形式。abundant意为“大量的，多的”。故填abundant。
62. were listed 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处是句子的谓语动词。主语“the Tianshan Mountains”为复数形式，和动词list之间是动宾关系，故句子用被动语态。根据时间状语“in 2013”可知，句子用一般过去时。故填were listed。
63. in 考查介词。句意：天山的美丽在于它那白雪覆盖顶部的群山和冰川覆盖的群峰。lie in为固定短语，意为“在于”。故填in。
64. diversity 考查词性转换。根据空前的a可判断，空处应填单数名词。a diversity of为固定短语，意为“各种各样的”。故填diversity。
65. responsibly 考查词性转换。空处应用responsible的副词形式修饰动词behave，作状语。故填responsibly。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
Dear Mr Smith,
Thank you for listening to our voices to revise the English newspaper. I’d like to share my viewpoints with you.
To tell the truth, some columns, such as Science and Pop Culture, are particularly welcomed because we can obtain the latest news of high-technology development as well as diverse civilizations. Therefore, I hope the two sections will be kept. On the other hand, since many readers show a lack of interest in the Business section, could you replace it with a sports column We can not only keep track of sports news but also get valuable suggestions for building us up by reading that section.
I hope the updated version of the English newspaper will gain more readers in the near future.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
With our encouragement and the attraction of oats, Charcoal struggled and managed to stand up. Though his eyes were dull with pain, he was brave enough to respond to our efforts. This was surely the force of life over death! Danny, with the pot, marched up the rocky slippery path through the woods, and I steadied (扶稳) injured Charcoal, encouraging him to follow. The hike which was ordinarily just 30 minutes now took over two hours. Charcoal could only hop with three legs for a few yards, and then rest, while we encouraged him to continue. Finally, our barn came into sight.
Paragraph 2:
Upon arriving at the barn, Danny started creating a bed for Charcoal. I hurried to phone the vet to come as soon as possible. After cleaning Charcoal’s wounds and medicating him, the vet told us, “His injury would heal, but you’ll need to treat the leg every day for several weeks, maybe longer.” He showed Danny exactly how to apply the medicine and cover the wounds. When I was watching my son carefully tend Charcoal, a thought just naturally came to mind: Bad things may happen somewhere, but love is everywhere, not only between humans, animals, but also between humans and animals.

Text 1
W: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore will be released on Friday. Would you like to see it with me on Saturday
M: I’d love to, but I have to work that day. How about the next day
W: OK. Let’s meet outside the theater at 7:00 pm.
Text 2
M: I’m going to the city library. Do you need a ride
W: Thank you! My appointment with the professor is three hours later and I want to finish the grocery shopping first.
Text 3
W: Have you watched the third season of The Exciting Offer Unlike the first two seasons focusing on young job seekers competing for a job at a law firm, the interns are medical students in this season.
M: Yeah. It reminds me of my days when I almost knew nothing about clinics.
Text 4
W: Another Coke, Harry
M: Cokes and chips are my favorites.
W: You know, adopting a healthier lifestyle can add years to your life — even in your 80s, according to a new research from Japan.
Text 5
W: What do you think of these watercolor paintings of the towns in South China
M: They are clean and neat. These works perfectly interpret the unique charms of watercolor.
W: Yeah. I really want to meet the artist.
Text 6
W: Hi, Dad. Thanks for picking me up. Uh, Dad Fasten your seat belt please.
M: It doesn’t matter. We’re just driving home. It takes less than 10 minutes.
W: But our teacher said 30% of accidents occur less than 2 kilometers.
M: Don’t worry. I won’t drive fast. The speed limit is 50 km/h around here.
W: I’ve read a report on the Internet, which said getting into an accident at 50 kilometers per hour is almost the same as falling out of a three-story building.
M: I’ll drive carefully.
W: You might, but you can’t control how others drive. Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injuries by 45% for drivers and front-seat passengers. It also reduces the risk of serious injuries by 50%.
M: Fine. I’ll fasten my seat belt.
Text 7
M: Sara, I’ve heard that you want to move into a homestay family.
W: Yes. I’ve been staying with my aunt. My cousin is arriving from Brisbane, and my aunt needs a room for him.
M: No wonder. When would you like to move out from your aunt’s
W: My cousin arrives on September 10th, so I’d better be out next Thursday.
M: Is that the 8th of September
W: That’s right, just a week from today.
M: How long have you been in Australia
W: A year in Adelaide and half a year in Sydney. I prefer Sydney. I’ve got many friends here.
M: What are you studying now
W: I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English, because I’m trying to get into Medicine next year.
M: Sounds good, but it will take you a long time.
Text 8
W: Hi, George! Glad you’re home. Your secretary called you several times.
M: Sorry, honey! I went into the library to subscribe to magazines and I came across something really interesting.
W: What A book
M: No, a brochure about a summer festival — mainly Spanish music. Look, I’ve got it here.
W: Wow! I really love the guitar. Let’s have a look. So what’s this group “Guitarrini”
M: They play fantastic instruments — drums, flutes and old kinds of guitars. I’ve never heard anything like it before. Shall we go then
W: Yes, let’s go.
M: The only problem is there aren’t any cheap seats. It’s one price for all.
W: Well, in that case we could sit right at the front. We’d have a really good view.
M: But I think that if we sit at the back we can actually hear the whole thing better.
W: Yes. The back then.
M: So will you book the tickets now
W: There’s no hurry. I could hardly wait to tell the news to Lisa.
Text 9
M: Good morning, Mrs. Johnson. What’s troubling you
W: I feel itchy all over.
M: How often do you bathe
W: I take a shower every morning after I get up, and after my daily workout at the gym. Then again before bed.
M: Actually, frequent showering may do more harm than good. It can wash away the good bacteria that naturally exists on your skin. It’s good to shower once or twice a day.
W: OK. I’ll cut it down.
M: The way you shower is also important. Water should be warm but not too hot.
W: I use hot water a lot, and I like the scent of soap and shampoo.
M: Avoid any of those good-smelling soaps and body washes. You don’t need to wash your hair every time you shower. Typically, shampooing two or three times a week will help keep your scalp and hair healthy.
W: What’s the duration
M: Three or four minutes of showering is all you need. If you prefer a slightly more relaxed approach, try to keep your shower under 10 minutes.
W: Thank you, Dr. Carl.

M: Ben Miller is a 9-year-old boy. He comes from Idaho. He collected a large $1,150 in one weekend.
He walked into his local animal shelter, handing over all the money he’d raised at a lemonade stand.
It was his third lemonade stand fundraiser since 2019, the year when he was visiting the Idaho Humane Society with his grandmother, he noticed that some cats didn’t have toys.
So far, he’s donated a grand total of $1,950 to support the cats he loves so much.
His mother helped him create an event on Facebook, which attracted lots of people.
“It was such a fun day meeting so many awesome people and their pets. A car full of people pulled up saying that they had just heard about it on the radio,” said his mother on Facebook. And the highlight that topped off the day was Ben’s teacher’s coming by.
Ben said he has no plans to stop his charity work for the shelter, which makes his mother smile, even though she said he’s always had a big heart. “It really just blew me away,” his mother said.2023—2024 学年高三上学期开学考试英语试卷（新高考）（公共版）

Books are excellent gifts. Here are four of the year’s most talked-about titles.
Ordinary Monsters | By J. M. Miro
Miro has temporarily abandoned literary fiction in favour of a new series of historical fantasy novels. Ordinary Monsters is about a group of children with magical gifts who come together and pool their powers to escape the bad shape-shifting man that’s going after them.
Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces | By Elamin Abdelmahmoud
The soundtrack to The O. C., a drama series, and the strange beauty of Highway 401 were important factors in developing selfhood of Abdelmahmoud. This book describes his own experience of moving from Khartoum, Sudan, to Kingston, Canada, in the early 2000s at age 12.
A Magic Steeped in Poison | By Judy I. Lin

This book also includes a radio play script (剧本) and a handful of short stories.
21. Which book is a mirror of the author’s life story

For over a decade, Zubin Kanga, a pianist, composer and technologist, has changed the limits of the forms of musical performances. He has both organized and performed shows that have pushed barriers, with motion sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), live-generated 3D visuals and virtual reality among the technological advancements used to unlock new possibilities of music and performances.
Kanga’s approach to employing cutting-edge technology was first informed by the relative limitations of his chosen instrument. “The piano is a very accurate technology,” he says. “From the early 20th century till now it hasn’t really changed at all. It’s an amazing instrument, but it does have certain limitations in terms of the types of sound you can create.”
One of the early works is Steel on Bone, composed by Kanga himself. He performs the piece using MiMU multi-sensor gloves. “I can put up one finger, and that’ll produce a particular sound,” Kanga explains. “And then I can control that sound just by moving my wrist through the air — I can do that with lots of different gestures.”
“For Steel on Bone, I’m actually playing inside the piano with these steel knitting (编织) needles, and getting all these interesting effects on the strings. Then I’m using samples of them. Sometimes I’m using live delays and operating them. The sound can change depending on how my hands are moving. It allows me to make a very theatrical piece, and people can see this immediate connection between how I’m moving — these very big, almost conductor-like gestures through the air — and the way the sound is changing,” said Kanga.
This is just the start, and Kanga goes on to be enthused with the use of motion sensors to make music, the possibilities that AI offers composers as a tool, and how virtual reality could transform performances and more.
24. What do technological advancements do for music and performances
A. Remove music barriers.
B. Bring new performance forms.
C. Popularize musical performances.
D. Make performances professional.
25. Why does Kanga talk about the piano in paragraph 2
A. To indicate its stability.
B. To prove its rare accuracy.
C. To show it has a long history.
D. To clarify why he uses technology.
26. How does Kanga perform Steel on Bone
A. By moving his hands in the air.
B. By pressing the piano keys.
C. By beating the steel knitting needles.
D. By making very small gestures.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Technology: When It Replaces Music
B. Virtual Reality: Future of Performances
C. Zubin Kanga: When Music Meets Technology
D. AI Music: From Composing to Performing
C
Turning on the air conditioning can bring sweet relief from the heat. But your resulting energy bill Not so much. What if your home could stay cool all on its own That’s the premise (前提) of Zheng Yi’s new invention. The associate professor at Northeastern University in Boston has created a sustainable material that can be used to make buildings or other objects able to keep cool without relying on conventional cooling systems.
Zheng imagines this material covering the roofs of houses or other buildings. The material, which Zheng has named “cooling paper”, has light colors and internal microstructure with many small holes. It reflects those warm solar rays away from the building, and it also absorbs heat inside — heat that is from electronics, cooking and human bodies.
Cooling paper is, in fact, made of paper. One day, Zheng saw a container full of used printing paper. He thought to himself, “How could we simply transform that waste material into some functional energy material ” So, with the help of a high-speed blender (搅拌机) from his kitchen, Zheng made a pulp (浆状物) out of it and the material that makes up Teflon, a type of plastic. He then made it into waterproof “cooling paper” that could coat homes. Then, he and his team tested its ability to keep cool: it can reduce temperatures by as much as 6 ℃. He selected materials that would reduce the cost of using the new technology to cool homes.
The cooling paper isn’t just green in its ability to reduce your energy footprint. The material can be used, exposed to solar radiation and various temperatures, and then reduced to a pulp (again) and remade without losing any of its cooling properties. “That is incredible!” Zheng says. “We thought there would be maybe 10 to 20 percent of loss, but no. It’s just as well as the original.”
28. On what basis is Zheng’s new invention created
A. Relieving the discomforts of the heat.
B. Improving traditional cooling systems.
C. Cooling the air without electricity.
D. Reducing electricity use and costs.
29. What does the author say about the material in paragraph 2
A. It works in two ways.
B. It’s complexly structured.
C. It has limited applications.
D. It’s available in dark colors.
30. Where did Zheng get inspiration for the cooling paper
A. From Teflon.
B. From a pulp.
C. From the blender.
D. From the waste paper.
31. Which aspect of the cooling paper is mainly stressed in the last paragraph
A. Its practicality.
B. Its recyclability.
C. Its heat resistance.
D. Its user-friendliness.
D
Parks are the beating hearts of cities, providing crucial environments for wildlife of many sizes as well as areas of rest and recreation for local citizens. Accessible via public transport, and located near a university, a stadium and the National Library, Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people.
One of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s five pathways to transformative change for water management is to restore species population, ecosystems and the benefits that nature provides to people by using each city’s advantage. As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife.
Tasked with improving Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park’s natural sustainability, architecture company WXCA looked at ways of enhancing the elements that were already in place to better support wildlife. One of the most visible means was the removal of thousands of square metres of concrete (混凝土). Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city’s features to shape themselves naturally, in reaction to both the surrounding environment and the weather. Doing so can support biodiversity by removing artificial constraints and flows. More than 13,000 square metres of concrete has already been removed, with more removal planned over the next year.
For the human users of the park, the designers created education, activity, and art spaces. The Grand Salon, a grassland surrounded by trees, is for large public gatherings, and a handful of pavilions (亭) spread throughout the space provide visible means of monitoring the quality of the air and water. They also contribute to the park’s ecosystem through rainwater harvesting. As the temperature consistently rises, city planners are using the leaves and branches of the plants and mixed use designs to reduce heat islands, improve air quality and prevent urban runoff.
32. What do we know about Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park
A. It creates a new way to the city center.
B. It serves different community groups.
C. It reminds the public to protect the environment.
D. It shows the locals are living happily.
33. What are the projects in paragraph 2 intended for
A. Providing stages to show off creativity.
B. Taking advantage of the city’s resources.
C. Encouraging people to get close to nature.
D. Supplying various wildlife with more room.
34. What does the underlined word “constraints” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Limits. B. Factors.
C. Methods. D. Damages.
35. How do the pavilions help the ecosystem
A. By offering some shelters.
B. By collecting rainwater.
C. By monitoring the air quality.
D. By reducing high temperature.

Patience is something that many of us struggle with. I know that I am certainly one who has a hard time dealing with delays. After all, we live in a world of instant satisfaction and overnight shipping. We can have anything that we want delivered to our doorstep right away. We can pick from a variety of entertainment options at any given moment. 36
The truth of the matter is, however, that anything good rarely happens quickly. 37 You have to develop your patience over time by taking real action. This applies to a number of things: launching a business, waiting to go to an event, or striving to achieve your personal goals.
Here are a few tips to help you become more patient:
Make yourself wait on things. This can include eating, purchasing items, or taking any sort of action. 38 It will help you increase your current patience levels and become less anxious moving forward. Try it.
39 Sometimes pause actually means there is hope. Perhaps you’ll meet a lot of wonderful people while waiting in line, or you will find that something put off is actually better in the future.
Understand that life is full of delays. 40 If there were delays, we would all have to accept. Ups and downs are what build character, and often, the longer we wait, the more we enjoy it. So wait it out with the best of them.
A. It usually takes a lot of work and a long wait.
B. The more patient you are, the luckier you become.
C. Teach yourself to look on the bright side of delays.
D. There is no one straight path to happiness or success.
E. Being patient is a must if you want to achieve success.
F. As a result, being patient has become increasingly difficult for most of us.
G. Work to overcome whatever makes you anxious and force yourself to wait.

When I was a child, my family went to the beach often. However, we 41 played in the sand or swam in the ocean. Nature was to be 42 far away, with the car windscreen in between.

Without knowing it, I was 46 by their attitudes.
It was my own children who led me to another 47 . They liked observing earthworms and jumping in mud; their such 48 about the natural world allowed me to see it in a 49 way. On beach trips, I found myself 50 to dig into the sand with them and 51 its cool graininess (颗粒感) as they buried me in it.
Last summer, my love for 52 led to us buying a house in a farming town near a mountain. It’s something I wouldn’t have 53 as a city girl. I’ve found a deeper connection to nature and I’m grateful for it. There are miles of tracks around us that I 54 every day. I walk through snow, mud and rain, 55 my boots — which I bring straight into the house.

“Mom, where do you suppose they are ” my ten-year-old son Danny asked for the twentieth time as he stared out of the window at the range (牧场). “They” were our horses, Ginger, and her three-year-old son, Charcoal, both of whom had been missing for days.
Our range and woods offered plenty of grass for six horses. However, spring thunderstorms during the past ten days had forced the nearby river out of its banks. The other horses had come to the barn (畜棚) during the downpour, but not Ginger or Charcoal.
When the rain stopped, I took Spot, our dog, to do some first-hand searching. We went through trees and brush in wet lowlands near the river. All my calling and Spot’s smelling were in vain.
The next morning, the sun struggled to shine through gray clouds, but dampness filled the air. Suddenly, Danny shouted, “Mom, come quick! There’s Ginger!” The horse stood at the range gate crying impatiently and moving back and forth as if to say “Follow me”.
“Hurry, Danny,” I said, “get the pot with some oats (燕麦). I will bring a rope.” Ginger walked in front and we followed. “I see him! I see him!” Danny shouted. Charcoal was lying on his side, not moving. His right back leg was badly injured.
“Oh, Mom. How long do you think he’s been lying here with no food and nobody to care for him ” Tears formed in Danny’s blue eyes. “Probably several days, but we’ll never know. Ginger took care of him, though, protecting him from attacks from hungry wolves or other wild animals,” I said.
“What can we do now ” Danny asked anxiously. “There’s no way to drive a vehicle down here in all this mud.” “We just have to get him up and lead him out,” I said, keeping my voice confident. “Afterwards, we’ll have to call the vet (兽医) out.”
