Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Peterson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and the books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books-on park benches (长椅) and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. A Bookcrosser, the person who finds their book, will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries

Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat. But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume
It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people—especially those closest to us—when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s connection is, the more sway they have over each other’s food choices. This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more. Being around healthy eaters may guide you to eat healthier as well, though. Eating habits are also affected by what we see. “There is proof that, if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation (刺激) can inspire your desire to cat,” says a UK scientist, Suzanne Higgs.
Social media is one place where visual and social signals meet. Evidence shows if friends in your social network post (发帖子) regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse. And research indicates that social media might be changing our relationship with food, making us think differently about what we eat. “If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.
Research suggests we’re more likely to be attracted by photos of fast food, especially some rich in saturated fat (饱和脂肪), which can make us feel good, says Ethan Pancer, a professor in Canada. Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food—an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.
“Healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison, and processed food is considered ‘cool’,” a researcher from France, Tina Tessitore, adds that, “In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings — people having a barbeque with friends, for example, while healthy food usually focuses more on the nutritional value. If you saw friends eating salad together, it wouldn’t seem so true.” All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.
8. The underlined word “sway” in para.2 is closest in meaning to“______”.
A. influence B. movement C. benefit D. harm
9. Which of the statements might Suzanne Higgs agree with
A. Seeing photos of familiar food prevents you from eating more.
B. Social media has more influence on your dieting than close friends.
C. You may fall into the habit of fast food consumption following social media.
D. You’re sure to imitate what others make and eat if you regularly surf the Internet.
10. What can we infer from the article
A. People are free to make a choice on what to eat.
B. Human beings are born to choose food rich in calorie.
C. The young generation prefer fast food because it’s “cool”.
D. You’ll be easily encouraged to pick out food by experts.
11. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To present factors affecting eating habits.
B. To explain the reasons for advertising food.
C. To raise public awareness of physical health.
D. To conclude findings of a new research.
D
For most of my life, I didn’t like being seen. I went bright red when it was my turn to speak in a group. I hated the teacher asking me something. I even didn’t like my family all looking at me! I often tried to hide away and avoid being seen by others! So, it’s not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.
Luckily, I’ve learned to overcome my problem. Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share. I particularly love helping entrepreneurs (企业家) to become more confident. When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.
Over the years I’ve discovered that there are three main problems that people have when it comes to speaking in public. The first is a lack of self belief. They doubt themselves and question whether what they have to say is valuable. The second is a fear of being seen as arrogant (傲慢的). The third is a fear of rejection or a fear of not being liked.
All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear based mindset, which is common. These fears stop people from stepping up as the leader and influencer they were born to be.
If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection. They will be a ball and chain that will hold you back from success. We need to take action despite feeling fear. We can’t wait for the fear to go away as it won’t go away itself. We have to act while we still feel it. And to overcome fears, we should practice. Confidence is attached to progress, and we only progress if we practice. If you don’t feel you’re progressing, you’ll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.
12. What does the author like doing now
A. Giving speeches in front of people.
B. Sharing experiences with her followers.
C. Making friends with famous entrepreneurs.
D. Helping others gain confidence in speaking in public.
13. What can we learn about the problems that prevent people from talking publicly according to the author
A. They are very difficult to overcome.
B. They lead to a very uncommon mindset.
C. They exist mainly because of people’s fears.
D. They are no problem for leaders or influencers.
14. What does the author suggest people do
A. Wait for the fear to disappear.
B. Avoid failure to become more confident.
C. Refuse judgment or rejection from others.
D. Practice hard to make progress in spite of fears.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Finding the Courage Inside You
B. Becoming a more Influential Person
C. Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
D. Expressing Your Ideas more Effectively
第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lacking chances to practise English Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. ____16____ Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.
A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see
____17____ As you continue with this, it becomes a habit. Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are. ____18____ For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, when sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing”. ____19____ You can also practise describing your daily activities. As beginning level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed. ____20____ So the skill level is a little higher.
When you are practising it every day, over and over again, little by little, you are thinking in English.
A. But it takes effort and practice.
B. It is extremely easy to understand.
C. This would require other verb tenses.
D. At some points, you will need a dictionary.
E. Try to name each object in your surroundings.
F. Then describe objects you don’t know the words for.
G. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Pender Harbor Hiking Group 中“Hikes are scheduled two months in advance, so check the website regularly to find a hike that suits you!”（徒步旅行是提前两个月安排的，所以定期在网站上查找适合你的徒步旅行！）可知，Pender Harbor Hiking Group组织的远足是提前两个月安排的。故选D项。

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Peterson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and the books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books-on park benches (长椅) and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. A Bookcrosser, the person who finds their book, will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries

A. To explain what they are.
B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading.
D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to

【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个叫做BookCrossing的网站的功能和设置该网站的目的。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.”（现在 网站改变了传统的图书群观念。）推知，作者在第一段提到书群是为了介绍BookCrossing这个网站。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.”（然后这个人把书放在公共场所，希望这本书可以有一个奇旅，与每一位找到它的新读者一起远行。）可知，it是指前半句提到的同一事物，即“the book”。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Members leave books-on park benches (长椅) and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. A Bookcrosser, the person who finds their book, will go to the site and record where they found it.”（成员可以把书留在公园长凳上，公交车上，火车站和咖啡厅。一个Bookcrosser，找到他们的书的人，会到现场记录他们在哪里找到书的。）和第五段“Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.”（Bruce Peterson说，这个想法是为了让人们不要自私，把一本书放在家里的书架上收集灰尘。）推知，让书蒙尘是一种自私的行为，网站BookCrossing的目的是鼓励人们与别人分享图书，一个Bookcrosser记录他们在哪里找到书也是为了让其他人能够找到书并且阅读，可得出一个Bookcrosser会把书传递给另一个读者。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了一个叫做BookCrossing的网站的功能和设置该网站的目的。再结合第三段的“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read BookCrossing combines both.”（改变你人生的两件事情是你遇到的人和读到的书。BookCrossing 把两者联系在一起。）可知，该网站可以把人和书联系在一起。因此文章是关于一个把读者联系起来的新方法——BookCrossing网站。故选D项。
C
Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat. But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume
It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people—especially those closest to us—when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s connection is, the more sway they have over each other’s food choices. This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more. Being around healthy eaters may guide you to eat healthier as well, though. Eating habits are also affected by what we see. “There is proof that, if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation (刺激) can inspire your desire to cat,” says a UK scientist, Suzanne Higgs.
Social media is one place where visual and social signals meet. Evidence shows if friends in your social network post (发帖子) regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse. And research indicates that social media might be changing our relationship with food, making us think differently about what we eat. “If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.
Research suggests we’re more likely to be attracted by photos of fast food, especially some rich in saturated fat (饱和脂肪), which can make us feel good, says Ethan Pancer, a professor in Canada. Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food—an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.
“Healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison, and processed food is considered ‘cool’,” a researcher from France, Tina Tessitore, adds that, “In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings — people having a barbeque with friends, for example, while healthy food usually focuses more on the nutritional value. If you saw friends eating salad together, it wouldn’t seem so true.” All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.
8. The underlined word “sway” in para.2 is closest in meaning to“______”.
A. influence B. movement C. benefit D. harm
9. Which of the statements might Suzanne Higgs agree with
A. Seeing photos of familiar food prevents you from eating more.
B. Social media has more influence on your dieting than close friends.
C. You may fall into the habit of fast food consumption following social media.
D. You’re sure to imitate what others make and eat if you regularly surf the Internet.
10. What can we infer from the article
A. People are free to make a choice on what to eat.
B. Human beings are born to choose food rich in calorie.
C. The young generation prefer fast food because it’s “cool”.
D. You’ll be easily encouraged to pick out food by experts.
11. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To present factors affecting eating habits.
B. To explain the reasons for advertising food.
C. To raise public awareness of physical health.
D. To conclude findings of a new research.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍我们的饮食容易受到各种因素的影响，其中身边的人、社交媒体以及快餐食物的图片等对我们饮食的选择都会产生不同程度的影响。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people—especially those closest to us—when it comes to what we eat.(当我们吃什么的时候，我们似乎受到其他人的巨大影响，尤其是那些与我们最亲近的人。)”和下文“This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more.(这意味着社会信号通常会鼓励我们吃得更多。)”可知，当我们吃什么的时候，会受到其他人的巨大影响，社会信号通常会鼓励我们吃得更多，这说明两个人之间的联系越紧密、越牢固，他们对彼此食物选择的影响就越大。由此可推知，划线单词sway意为“影响”，与A项“influence(影响)”意思一样，故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中““If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.(Higgs说，“如果在社交媒体上你所有的朋友都在发他们吃快餐的照片，那这将建立一个标准：人们吃快餐是常态。”)”可推知，Higgs认为关注社交媒体上朋友的动态会让人容易养成吃快餐的习惯。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food — an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.( 从生物学角度讲，人类已经做好了寻找高卡路里食物的准备——这种能力曾帮助我们的祖先在寻找食物时生存下来。)”可推知，我们天生就倾向选择高热量的食物。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume (但是我们关于饮食所做的选择是不是真如我们设想那样自由呢？)”以及第二段的首句“It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat.(当谈论我们吃什么时，我们似乎受到他人的影响很大，特别是那些和我们最亲近的人。)”与第二段的“Eating habits are also affected by what we see.(我们所看到的也会影响我们的饮食习惯。)”可知，作者通过下文的内容来回答在第一段所提出的问题，即介绍了我们的饮食容易受到各种因素的影响，其中身边的人、社交媒体以及快餐食物的图片等对我们饮食的选择都会产生不同程度的影响。由此可推知，作者的写作的目是为了呈现影响我们饮食选择的各种因素。故选A项。
D
For most of my life, I didn’t like being seen. I went bright red when it was my turn to speak in a group. I hated the teacher asking me something. I even didn’t like my family all looking at me! I often tried to hide away and avoid being seen by others! So, it’s not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.
Luckily, I’ve learned to overcome my problem. Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share. I particularly love helping entrepreneurs (企业家) to become more confident. When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.
Over the years I’ve discovered that there are three main problems that people have when it comes to speaking in public. The first is a lack of self belief. They doubt themselves and question whether what they have to say is valuable. The second is a fear of being seen as arrogant (傲慢的). The third is a fear of rejection or a fear of not being liked.
All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear based mindset, which is common. These fears stop people from stepping up as the leader and influencer they were born to be.
If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection. They will be a ball and chain that will hold you back from success. We need to take action despite feeling fear. We can’t wait for the fear to go away as it won’t go away itself. We have to act while we still feel it. And to overcome fears, we should practice. Confidence is attached to progress, and we only progress if we practice. If you don’t feel you’re progressing, you’ll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.
12. What does the author like doing now
A. Giving speeches in front of people.
B. Sharing experiences with her followers.
C. Making friends with famous entrepreneurs.
D. Helping others gain confidence in speaking in public.
13. What can we learn about the problems that prevent people from talking publicly according to the author
A. They are very difficult to overcome.
B. They lead to a very uncommon mindset.
C. They exist mainly because of people’s fears.
D. They are no problem for leaders or influencers.
14. What does the author suggest people do
A. Wait for the fear to disappear.
B. Avoid failure to become more confident.
C. Refuse judgment or rejection from others.
D. Practice hard to make progress in spite of fears.
15. What can be the best title for the text

B. Becoming a more Influential Person
C. Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
D. Expressing Your Ideas more Effectively
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者本来是一个内向的人，后来找到方法克服这个缺点，现在他根据自己的经历去帮助他人，解释了害怕说话的原因，以及克服的方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So, it’s not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.(所以，我害怕在别人面前说话并不奇怪)”以及第二段“Luckily, I’ve learned to overcome my problem. Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share. I particularly love helping entrepreneurs to become more confident. When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.(幸运的是，我已经学会了克服这个问题。现在，我喜欢帮助那些和我有同样问题，但想说出来的人，因为他们有宝贵的东西可以分享。我特别喜欢帮助企业家变得更自信。当你帮助一个领导者时，影响会大得多)”可知，现在作者喜欢做的事是帮助他人在公共场合讲话时获得信心，故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear based mindset, which is common.(所有这些问题都与心态有关，特别是基于恐惧的心态，这很常见)”可知，作者认为是恐惧心理阻碍人们在公共场合讲话。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“We need to take action despite feeling fear. We can’t wait for the fear to go away as it won’t go away itself. We have to act while we still feel it. And to overcome fears, we should practice. Confidence is attached to progress, and we only progress if we practice. If you don’t feel you’re progressing, you’ll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.(我们需要采取行动，尽管感到恐惧。我们不能等待恐惧消失，因为它不会自己消失。我们必须趁我们还能感觉到时候采取行动。为了克服恐惧，我们应该练习。信心与进步紧密相连，只有实践才能进步。如果你觉得自己没有进步，你就会开始失去信心，陷入恐惧之中)”可知，作者建议人们，尽管有恐惧，但努力练习才能取得进步。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“So, it’s not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.(所以，我害怕在别人面前说话并不奇怪)”以及第二段“Luckily, I’ve learned to overcome my problem. Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share. I particularly love helping entrepreneurs to become more confident. When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.(幸运的是，我已经学会了克服这个问题。现在，我喜欢帮助那些和我有同样问题，但想说出来的人，因为他们有宝贵的东西可以分享。我特别喜欢帮助企业家变得更自信。当你帮助一个领导者时，影响会大得多)”以及最后一段“If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection.(如果你想成为一个更有效的影响者，克服你对评判或拒绝的恐惧是非常重要的)”可知，作者结合自己的经历告诉人们如何克服在公共演讲中的恐惧，所以C项“Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking(克服公众演讲的恐惧)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lacking chances to practise English Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. ____16____ Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.
A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see
____17____ As you continue with this, it becomes a habit. Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are. ____18____ For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, when sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing”. ____19____ You can also practise describing your daily activities. As beginning level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed. ____20____ So the skill level is a little higher.
When you are practising it every day, over and over again, little by little, you are thinking in English.
A. But it takes effort and practice.
B. It is extremely easy to understand.
C. This would require other verb tenses.
D. At some points, you will need a dictionary.
E. Try to name each object in your surroundings.
F. Then describe objects you don’t know the words for.
G. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些提高英语能力的实用技巧。
【16题详解】
根据“Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. (用英语思考可以让你更接近流利！这不是很难)”以及下文“Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.(今天，我们将与大家分享一些心理练习)”可知，英语要熟练是有技巧可用的，所以空白处应该是对上文的转折，也就是说流利的英语并不困难，但是也是需要努力和练习的。A项“但这需要努力和实践。”符合语境，能够承上启下。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see (好的第一步是用单独的语言思考。看看你周围。你看到了什么？)”以及下文“Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are.(无论你身在何处，你的电脑、电话、椅子、办公桌等都会闪现出各种东西)”可知，本段所给建议就是试着给周围的每个物体都取名字。E项“试着为你周围的每个物体命名。”适合作本段的主旨大意句。文中的“computer, telephone, chair, desk”是E项中的“each object in your surrounding”的具体例子。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据“For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”(例如，如果你想不出“车库”这个词，你可以在脑海中说，“我把车放在里面的地方”或“它就在我的房子旁边。我把东西放在那里”)”可知，下文举例表明，我们可以尝试用其它的方式来描述你很难表达出来的词。F项“然后描述你不知道单词。”符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据“The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. (下一个练习是用简单的句子思考)”以及下文“ You can also practise describing your daily activities. (你也可以练习描述你的日常活动)”可知，本段给的建议是我们需要用简单的句子先开始练习，空处给出这样做的原因，就是只有从简单的开始，然后才会慢慢练习困难的句子。G项“一旦这变得容易，你就可以转到更难的句子。”符合语境。G项中的easy和上文的simple 相呼应。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据“As beginning level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed.(作为初级学习者，你可以使用简单的现在动词形式来描述一天，比如“我穿上衬衫”和“他开车”。你也可以在早上制定计划，或者在睡前列出你做过的事情)”以及下文“So the skill level is a little higher.(所以技能水平要高一点)”可知，作为初级水平的学习者，你可以用一般现在时态来表述一天。但是如果想要更高的技能，我们就要把一般现在时态转变为其他的时态。空处为后面句子的原因。C项“这需要其他动词时态。”符合语境。故选C。

考查时态。句意：我一个人在操场上走着，突然一个篮球滚到了我脚边。根据句中rolled可知，句子描述过去的情况，且句子使用be doing sth. when...，表示“正在做某事，这时……”，所以空处应用过去进行时，主语是I，be动词使用was。故填was walking。

【答案】参考范文：
My Opinion on Devoting One’s Life to One Thing
In today’s society, there is much discussion about whether it is wise to devote one’s entire life to one particular thing. Personally, I lean towards pursuing one goal in our lifetime.
On the one hand, when committed to a single goal, we will be able to invest more time, effort and energy in achieving it, which greatly enhances our chances of becoming successful. On the other hand, we might be easily to take our attention away if chasing various goals, leaving us less likely to succeed.
