Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, erupted again. Melted rock, called lava (熔岩), from the volcano in Hawaii slowly moved towards roads and homes.
People asked if anything could be done to stop or change the direction of the lava's flow. Over the years, people have tried to slow the flow of lava from Hawaii's volcanoes using prayer, walls, and even bombs.
People have rarely had success in stopping lava. Even with technological progress, stopping lava is difficult and dependent on the speed of the flow and the land. But many in Hawaii question whether anyone should challenge nature.
Attempts to divert (使转向) lava have a long history in Hawaii. In 1881, the governor of Hawaii Island called for a day of prayer to stop lava from Mauna Loa as it headed for the town of Hilo. But the lava kept coming.
Later, Thomas A. Jaggar, the founder of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, asked the US Army to send airplanes to bomb a Mauna Loa vent to destroy the lava. A volcanic vent is a place on the Earth's surface where lava or gas can escape. The army dropped 20 bombs weighing 272 kilograms.
Jaggar said the bombing helped to stop the flow. But geologists today don't quite agree. The lava flow did not end with the bombing. Instead, the flows slowed over the next few days and did not change paths.
“Quickly moving lava flows, like those from Kilauea Volcano in 2018, would be more difficult to stop，” said Scott Rowland, a geologist at the University of Hawaii. He said he believed most people in Hawaii would not want to build a wall to protect the highway.
Kealoha Pisciotta is a Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner. She said people needed to change to the lava, not the other way around. “We are not separate from nature，” she said. “We are part of nature.”
1．Why did Jaggar ask the army to drop bombs
A．To create a way for the lava. B．To slow the speed of the lava.
C．To build up a hole to trap the lava. D．To stop a volcano from erupting.
2．What is geologists' attitude towards the bombing
A．Critical. B．Grateful.
C．Doubtful. D．Supportive.
3．How should we deal with a volcano in Kealoha's opinion
A．Leave it as it is. B．Reduce its damage.
C．Build a wall to stop it. D．Enjoy its great power.
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Hawaii Volcano Erupts Again B．Stopping Volcanic Eruption Is Not Easy
C．Prayers Failed to Stop Lava D．Hawaiians Disagree to Disturb Volcanos

Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment, rather than in a health club or gym. __1__ Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.
__2__ For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibres. Others consider barefoot (赤脚的) running or walking would be greener and thus be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.
A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on fresh air, sunshine, and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing. __3__ In like manner, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered green exercise.
Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self esteem (自尊).__4__
Not everyone believes that green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. __5__ Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts, which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.
A.Spirits are also believed to be positively affected.
B．A green gym uses as little equipment as possible.
C．All forms of green exercise are good for you.
D．Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ.
E．Besides, it usually doesn't use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym.
F．So riding a bicycle in a forest can be called a type of green exercise.
G．Some point out that many health clubs are constructed to make full use of natural light.

【语篇解读】 世界上最大的活火山冒纳罗亚火山再次喷发，人们想知道有什么办法可以阻止熔岩流动或改变熔岩流动的方向。但其实即使技术有了进步，阻止熔岩流动也是困难的，而且这要取决于熔岩流动的速度和陆地。
1．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，Jaggar要求美国军队派飞机轰炸冒纳罗亚火山的一个喷发口，以破坏熔岩。下文指出火山口是地球表面熔岩或气体逸出的地方。因此，Jaggar让军队投炸弹是为了阻止火山的喷发。
2．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第六段可知：Jaggar说轰炸有助于阻止岩浆流动，但如今地质学家并不完全同意这个观点；熔岩流并没有随着爆炸而结束，也没有改变路径。也就是说，地质学家对轰炸方法持怀疑态度。
3．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Kealoha认为人们需要适应熔岩，而不是反过来改变熔岩，并表示人也是自然的一部分。由此可推知，对于火山，Kealoha认为应该听其自然。
4．答案与解析：B 标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章通过几个处理火山爆发的例子指出阻止熔岩流动或改变熔岩流动的方向是很难成功的。因此，B项（阻止火山爆发并非易事）最适合作本文的标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的运动方式——绿色运动，不同于在健身房使用健身设施进行锻炼，它更强调与大自然的接触。
1．答案与解析：E 根据上文“Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment, rather than in a health club or gym.”可知，绿色运动不同于在健身房的锻炼，后文的instead表明空格处的意义与后文相反。因此，空格处应继续说明绿色运动与健身房运动的不同之处。另外根据逻辑，下文的it与E选项的it都指代上文中的green exercise。故选E。
2．答案与解析：D 根据后文“For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires... Others consider barefoot （赤脚的） running or walking...”可知，不同的人对什么是真正的绿色运动观点不同。因此空格处先概括性地说明了这一点，D项符合语境。故选D。
3．答案与解析：F 后文“In like manner, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered green exercise.”表明什么样的锻炼会被视为绿色运动，由in like manner可知，空格处也应该是有类似特点的运动，而F项中“can be called a type of green exercise”与后文中的“also be considered green exercise”结构一致，都是在介绍绿色运动的类型。故选F。
4．答案与解析：A 前文“The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self esteem（自尊）.”介绍了绿色运动对于身体、头脑和心理健康的好处，而A项承接上文，接着说明了绿色运动在精神上的积极影响。故选A。
5．答案与解析：G 根据上文“Not everyone believes that green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym.”可知，该段在介绍另一种观点，指出使用健身器材锻炼也有好处，后文说明使用健身器材有利于增强心肺功能。因此，空格处也是在讲述健身俱乐部或者健身房的优点，G项中的“many health clubs”与上文的“in a health club or gym”相呼应。故选G。
Ⅲ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了每年4月20日农历节气谷雨这天是联合国汉语日，它庆祝汉语对世界的贡献，同时鼓励更多的人学习汉语。
1．答案与解析：encouraging 考查非谓语动词。encouraging和celebrating作并列状语，与其逻辑主语UN Chinese Language Day是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。
2．答案与解析：sixth 考查序数词。根据语境可知，谷雨是传统农历24个节气中的第六个，用序数词。
3．答案与解析：who 考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词Cangjie指人，从句中缺少主语，故用who。
4．答案与解析：was allowed 考查动词时态和语态。空处为句子的谓语，Chinese （汉语）与allow之间是被动关系，且由时间状语in 1946可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。
5．答案与解析：commonly 考查副词。副词修饰动词used。
6．答案与解析：after 考查介词。分析句子可知，这种情况有所改善应该是在1971年中华人民共和国在联合国的合法权利恢复之后。所以用介词after。
7．答案与解析：a 考查冠词。不定冠词a在working language前，表示一种工作语言。
8．答案与解析：exhibitions 考查名词复数。art exhibition“艺术展”，此处exhibition是可数名词，根据前面的复数名词可知，此处也要用复数形式。
9．答案与解析：to practise 考查非谓语动词。an opportunity to do...做……的机会。
10．答案与解析：are learning 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句意可知，此处讲述目前的状况，用现在进行时，主语diplomats and UN staff为复数，be动词用are。
Ⅳ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。凯尔茜曾经是一个腼腆、不自信的女孩，她的祖母总是鼓励她走出舒适区，祖母去世后，她参加了《美国偶像》真人秀电视节目，并取得了巨大的成功。
1．答案与解析：A 她的祖母鼓励她多唱歌，尤其是在公众场合（in public），这是使她走出舒适区的一种方式。in secret秘密地；in silence沉默地；in person亲自。
2．答案与解析：C 凯尔茜试了一下，但结果并不像她希望（hope）的那样。admit承认；appreciate欣赏；demand要求。
3．答案与解析：D “我曾经试图在教堂里唱歌，”她说。“音乐开始播放，我却愣在那里（freeze）。”clap鼓掌；erupt爆发；survive生存。
4．答案与解析：A 根据下一句“She took the AmericanIdol ads...”可知凯尔茜没有放弃（give up）。turn around转身；move about到处搬迁；stay up熬夜。
5．答案与解析：D 她认为《美国偶像》的广告是祖母给她的一个信号（sign），让她有机会再试一次唱歌。promise诺言；task任务；gift天赋，礼物。
6．答案与解析：A 对于这个害羞的（shy）18岁女孩来说，迈出这一步是一项不小的壮举。由下句“As someone growing up in the country... just getting to the audition （试唱） would mean experiencing lots of...”及下文“The judges could tell Kelsie's... held her back.”不难看出，凯尔茜胆小、腼腆。ambitious有野心的；creative有创造力的；straightforward坦诚的。
7．答案与解析：B 作为一个在乡村长大的人，参加试唱意味着要经历很多第一次（first）。pain痛苦；problem难题；interview采访。
8．答案与解析：C 她不仅是第一次登台表演（perform），而且还将在三位评委面前表演。respond反应，回答；protest抗议；exercise练习。
9．答案与解析：D 凯蒂·佩里、卢克·布莱恩和莱昂内尔·里奇是三位评委（judge）。
10．答案与解析：B 评委们看得出来，凯尔茜的紧张（nervousness）使她没能尽情发挥。由前文“this shy 18 year old”可以推断，凯尔茜当时很紧张。
11．答案与解析：D 在给了凯尔茜许多鼓励（encouragement）和指导之后，三位评委请她唱她准备的第二首歌。
12．答案与解析：C 凯尔茜参加《美国偶像》真人秀电视节目，为此准备（prepare）了两首歌曲。
13．答案与解析：A 就在那时，神奇的（magical）事情发生了。
14．答案与解析：B 凯尔茜最终不再自我封闭，表现得非常出色。walk/come out of one's shell意思是“（和人交流时）放大胆子，不缩手缩脚”，符合语境。
15．答案与解析：D 我们迫不及待地想知道凯尔茜的歌唱事业会把她带向何方！can't wait to do sth.是固定搭配，意思是“迫不及待做某事”。组合练十三

William Gadoury has been fascinated by the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandpa bought him books from Mexico about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he thought that the locations of Mayan cities might match stars in Mayan constellations (星座).
Using ancient books, known as the MadridCodex, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and overlaid (覆盖) the positions onto Google Earth images of the Yucatán Peninsula, which to this day is home to large native populations and some of the best preserved architecture from Mayan culture.
He would trace the constellations from Google Earth using transparent (透明的) sheets, overlaying them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities, such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal.
But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a disagreement: three stars, but only two ancient cities on Google Earth. The third star pointed to a location that was on the Mexico Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury puzzled.
Luckily, the teen had won a science competition with the Canadian Space Agency, and he was able to ask the agency for images from their satellite and eventually inferred that there was indeed a city there.
Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle to search on foot, along with archaeologist Francisco Estrada Belli. The team discovered a farming settlement deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long term success.
“What I admired most about Gadoury was his curiosity，” Kathryn Reese Taylor, Professor of Archaeology, said. “I think that he showed a lot of curiosity as well as imagination. And I think imagination is really important in science, because if you can't imagine it or if you can't think of it, you can't look for it.”
1．What got Gadoury to be interested in the Mayans
A．His grandpa's gifts. B．His great curiosity.
C．His visit to Mexico. D．His grandpa's love.
2．Which aspect of the stars indicates the size of the city
A．Their shapes. B．Their positions.
C．Their distances. D．Their brightness.
3．How did Gadoury confirm the position of a lost Mayan city
A．By analyzing Google Earth. B．By observing stars in space.
C．By studying satellite pictures. D．By going to seek it in person.
4．What does Reese Taylor stress as far as science is concerned
A．Hard work. B．Curiosity and imagination.
C．Serious attitude. D．Confidence and courage.

Imagine climbing a mountain and getting halfway up and saying to yourself, “You know what, I'm going to climb back down and finish this later.”
__1__ We have projects that sit waiting to be completed. Some people start college but never graduate. We have books that we never finish reading. __2__ Many people are great at beginning things but can't seem to finish strong.
Not finishing what we started has been a repeated problem for us. We have to face it. __3__ Whenever we delay, or put to the side, the things that will help us accomplish our goals, we stop developing our potential.
Not finishing not only causes us to stop making progress but also we find it harder whenever we do decide to start again. Consider this: every time I begin a new exercise programme my muscles are sore (疼痛的) for a few days. After a few weeks of routine, the muscles get accustomed to the programme and grow stronger. Thus, no more sore muscles. Well, when I take some time off I fear starting again. __4__
Strong finishers are able to focus on getting the best result from anything that they start. So how do we know that we are a strong finisher？Along with the huge feeling of accomplishment, other people will begin to notice the change. __5__ They will have no choice but to recognize our strong finishing ability. We will be rewarded with more trust from them.
A．The list goes on and on.
B．We should have the confidence.
C．Why don't we have the interest any more
D．Sounds silly, but that is what we do all of the time.
E．I know that my muscles are going to be sore again.
F．They will see we are able to climb and conquer the mountain.
G．Not being a strong finisher can limit our ability to conquer our goals.

Dad handed me the bucket and the net with a long, wooden handle. He gave Paulie two dead fish wrapped in newspaper. They were tied up with string like a present. I held my nose, but Paulie held those fish like they were his best baseball cards.
“Since we all want crabs for supper, catch a whole bunch. But just in case you don't, we have leftover broccoli (花椰菜)，” Dad said with a wink.
The salty air from Chesapeake Bay filled our noses. This was the best place in the world to catch blue crabs. They like grassy, shadowy water, so Paulie and I headed for our old wooden dock. It was hot，and I sat down and swung my legs over the edge, into the cool water. Paulie struggled to tie the string to one of the slippery fish. Then he slid the extra fish into the bucket and set it in the dark water under the dock for later.
“Here，” Paulie handed me the baited string. “Dangle (提着) this down in the water to call the crabs.”
Crabs love smelly, old fish，so our first crab didn't take long to come. Its big claw clamped (紧夹住) the bait, and I raised the string real slow so Paulie could net it. But my legs swishing (发出刷刷声) in the water startled that crab, and it let go and floated back to the bottom like a leaf off a tree. Paulie brought up the net and stood there with the handle on the dock.
“Kathy, I can't believe you're going to be in third grade and can't sit still for one minute，” he said.
“And I can't believe you're going to be in sixth grade and haven't caught any crabs yet.”
I went back to dangling the fish.

Hello everyone!
As is known to all, living green is very important for everyone. It can ensure our health and sustainable development. For us students, we should create a green school in order to contribute to a comfortable studying environment.
Firstly, we should arrange a series of lectures related to environmental protection, thus arousing students' awareness of establishing a green school and living a low carbon life. Secondly, we are willing to attach great importance to saving water, paper and electricity and planting trees and put them into practice. Thirdly，we must have good habits to keep every corner tidy in our school.
Therefore, everyone, let's take action immediately. Thanks for listening.

“Well, getready，”heurged. “Herecomesanotherone.” The sun was hot on our backs. My clothes were already sticking to me, and sweat dripped down our faces. A fly buzzed around my head. I remembered what Paulie had said and sat perfectly still as the new crab clamped onto the fish. But as Paulie scooted forward on his belly to lower the net，he knocked a pebble off the dock and scared that crab away，too. We thought about the big pot waiting and Dad dropping the crabs into the spicy, boiling water. They would turn a beautiful bright red after a few moments, and we'd have a crab feast，cracking the shells and pulling out the sweet, white meat. We had to keep trying.
The sun began to set. We couldn't see into the water anymore. “Remember to get the bucket with the spare bait，” I reminded him, slumping along with the net dragging behind me. Suddenly, Paulie grabbed my arm. “Listen，” he whispered. Noises came from the bucket Paulie was carrying. There, in the bucket, was a mountain of beautiful blue crabs fighting over our extra fish. We raced to give Dad the crabs. “Whoa！” he said. “You caught a lot！” I looked at Paulie. “Yes！” we mouthed silently to each other with huge grins.组合练十一

A new study has found that tools designed to warn drivers and automatically stop vehicles in emergency situations helped reduce crashes by about 50 percent. The study is one of the largest of its kind to examine the effectiveness of driver assistance systems.
The research was carried out by the Partnership for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety (PARTS). The organization is a partnership between automakers and the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
For the study, numerous automobile manufacturers supplied vehicle equipment data on 93 different vehicle models from 2015 to 2020. This information was combined with data collected on more than 12 million police reported crashes in 13 American states.
One of the technologies studied is called Forward Collision Warning. Collision is another word for crash. This system uses cameras, radar and other technology tools to gather information on safe driving distances. It warns drivers if their vehicle is getting too close to other vehicles ahead.
Another related driver assistance tool is known as automatic emergency braking (制动) . This system is designed to identify possible crash dangers involving vehicles ahead. The tool can automatically slow or stop a vehicle if it senses the immediate danger of a crash.
The PARTS group's study found that front to rear crashes were reduced by 49 percent when the striking vehicles had both forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. The systems also reduced crashes resulting in injuries by 53 percent.
The research also suggested automatic braking system performs well in many situations, including poor weather and low light conditions.
The study also found that vehicles equipped with technologies designed to keep vehicles in their driving lane (车道) are effective in reducing single vehicle crashes that lead to serious injuries. Many automakers now include this kind of technology on some vehicle models. It is designed to automatically keep a vehicle centered in lanes of traffic. The study found these tools reduced crashes involving vehicles leaving the roadway by eight percent.
1．Which of the following can best describe the tools of car safety
A．Effective. B．Convenient.
C．Expensive. D．Useless.
2．When does forward collision warning give warnings
A．The driver drives the car carelessly. B．The car gets into trouble.
C．The driver is sleepy while driving. D．The car is too near to the front car.
3．What does the underlined word “rear” in Paragraph 6 mean
A．Top. B．Side.
C．Back. D．Bottom.
4．How does the technology discussed in the last paragraph function
A．It warns the driver to drive safely. B．It prevents cars knocking another.
C．It keeps cars running in the driveway. D．It leads the car to run itself on the road.

Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others. __1__
Let me start with the idea of giving generously. __2__ For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used, and I suppose we are. But when we give, we shouldn't be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise. Rather, we should be giving because it is a good thing.
The good news is that when we lead our life being nice to others, our life runs more smoothly. __3__ But if you practise being generous, most of your relationships will improve.
At the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you can't say “thank you” enough when you receive.
__4__ Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Do you think it unnecessary to thank them when receiving just because a task is part of someone's job description That's wrong !
__5__ It is good for us to say “thank you” because we regularly need to remind ourselves how lucky we are. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days.
If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: give generously and receive gratefully.
A．So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude.
B．Thus, saying “thank you” can bring us good luck.
C．If you are generous, some people will use you.
D．In return, we are to help others by giving them our time or money.
E．I think people are unwilling to be generous to others for fear of being used.
F．Yet, why do we have such difficulty achieving these things in our relationships

Most people would say that my husband and I are being used, and I suppose we are.”可知，作者举了例子，说“我们”很少收到感谢，有人认为“我们”被利用了。E选项“I think people are unwilling to be generous to others for fear of being used.”与下文表达的话题吻合，而且E句中提到“我认为人们不愿意对他人慷慨，因为害怕被利用”和下文中的“大多数人会说‘我’和‘我’丈夫被利用了”相吻合。C选项“If you are generous, some people will use you.”虽然话题也与下文吻合，但与下文的契合度不如E。与前文“Let me start with the idea of giving generously.”放在一起也非常突兀。故选E项。
3．答案与解析：C 下文“But if you practise being generous, most of your relationships will improve.”中but做转折，说明前后内容是转折关系。C选项“If you are generous，some people will use you.”与下文是转折关系，符合文意。故选C项。
4．答案与解析：A 下文举例“Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students.”说明父母和老师都会觉得孩子和学生不感激他们，所以此处应该是得出不感激的结论。A选项“So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude.”符合文意。故选A项。
5．答案与解析：G 根据下文“It is good for us to say ‘thank you’ because we regularly need to remind ourselves how lucky we are. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days.”可知，说“谢谢”是件好事，听到“谢谢”两个字会让我们好几天都感觉很好。G选项“Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else.”（没有什么像感激之词一样能让人自我感觉良好。）符合文意。故选G项。

Facebook and Ray Ban have released their first pair of camera smart glasses, Ray Ban Stories. Facebook hopes they'll be worn to take pictures and short videos, listen to music, and make phone calls, by anyone 13 or older.
The glasses, which Facebook had made fun of in the past, start at $299 and come in three styles, and are available to buyers in six countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Hind Hobeika, a product manager for augmented reality devices at Facebook Reality Labs, told me Ray Ban Stories are “the first smart glasses that people will want to wear”．
Facebook lent me a pair of Ray Ban Stories with sunglass lenses (镜片) so I could decide for myself. Ray Ban Stories rely on a companion smartphone app called Facebook View to let you see, edit and share images and videos. It was easy to send pictures to friends via the app.
As far as I could tell, nobody noticed anything unusual about the glasses while chasing my kids around a busy playground, even when I was taking numerous short videos. It would have been easy to use these glasses to invade other people's privacy.
I spoke with Jeremy Greenberg, policy counsel at the Future of Privacy Forums, about my experience. He said there's “definitely some concerns” that people didn't appear to notice that I was capturing pictures and videos—something that would be more obvious if I had pulled out my phone.
“It'll be interesting to see, if this technology becomes widespread, will folks sort of develop that cultural understanding that their images might be taken or videos might be taken？” he asked. “It's real that time will tell.”
And after days of trying them out, I still didn't have the sense that I (or anyone, really) need Ray Ban Stories. You may need eyeglasses or sunglasses, and a smartphone, too. But it's going to be tough for Facebook to convince most people that they have to have a device that can repeat a few of their phone's features sitting on their face—even one that looks this good.
1．What can we learn about Rat Ban Stories
A．They are intended for adults. B．Each pair is no more than $299.
C．Hind Hobeika has confidence in them. D．They are being sold all over the world.
2．What can we use Facebook View to do
A．Revise photos. B．Produce videos.
C．Listen to music. D．Make phone calls.
3．What was Jeremy Greenberg curious to know
A．Whether people will buy Ray Ban Stories.
B．Whether people like to have their photos taken.
C．Whether Ray Ban Stories will replace mobile phones.
D．Whether Ray Ban Stories will develop well.
4．What is the author's final conclusion about Ray Ban Stories
A．They are practical. B．They are unnecessary.
C．They will cause trouble. D．They will benefit us greatly.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何过上成功的生活提出了一些建议。
1．答案与解析：B 根据上文“... no one else is going to climb the ladder （梯子） of success for you.”和下文“From the day you leave your parents' house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.”可知，没人能为我们爬上成功的阶梯，离家之后我们就要对自己负责。由此可知，没有任何人能对我们的生活负责。B项符合题意，responsible是关键词。故选B。
2．答案与解析：G 根据下文“However，it doesn't change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make.”可推知，空处陈述了一种我们常常做但却没有任何意义、不能让自己的人生产生任何改变的行为。G项“你可以一生都将自己的不幸福归咎于他人。”符合题意，下一句中的it指代选项所陈述的内容。故选G。
3．答案与解析：F 空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That's because every great victory requires great sacrifice.If success was easy，everybody would be successful.”可知，成功需要牺牲，选择简单和乐趣是不能成功的。由此推知，空处提出成功忌讳选择简单容易的方式。F项“成功的最大敌人是阻力最小的道路。”符合题意，“the path of least resistance”指代下文的“what is fun and easy”。故选F。
4．答案与解析：A 根据上文“People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future.”和下文“Your life changes only to the extent that you change.Nothing will ever change if you don't change what you do daily.”可知，生活不会因为某些神奇的事情而改变，除非你自己做出改变。由此推知，空处陈述上文提到的情况并非事实。A项“但事实并非如此。”符合题意，承上启下。故选A。
5．答案与解析：E 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“If I already achieved my goals，how would I act on a daily basis What books would I read，how often would I work out，and how would I spend my time at the office？”可知，上文提出了几个问题。由此推知，空处陈述的内容应与这几个问题相关。E项“一旦你回答了这些问题，你就知道做些什么了。”符合题意，“these questions”指上文的几个问题。故选E。

As millions of people commute to work, sit at their desks once they arrive at the office and then relax at home at night, in some cases anyway, binge watching their favorite television shows, they may not realize how much all of that sitting may be harming their health.
“Some doctors have called sitting the new smoking，” Dr Deepak L．Bhatt, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told Fox News Digital. “And while that is a bit of an exaggeration (夸张)—smoking is very bad for cardiovascular and overall health—it is true that prolonged periods of sitting worsen health，” added Bhatt.
A 2017 study published in the AnnalsofInternalMedicine that researched an estimated 8 000 adults found an association between prolonged sitting and the risk of early death. According to the study, participants who sat for more than 13 hours per day had a 200% greater risk of death than participants who sat for less than 11 hours. Participants who often sat longer than 90 minutes at a time were about twice as likely to die than those who always limited their sitting time to less than 90 minutes at a time. But the study found those who sat for less than 30 minutes at a time had the least risk of death.
But it's important to think about all the activities we do every day that make us sit too long, not just at work, added Scott Brown, vice president of fitness at Orangetheory Fitness. “This includes driving, eating and time on the sofa，” he told Fox News Digital.
Brown recommended three simple tips on helping decrease sitting too much: Use a smartwatch that can both track and encourage you to stand at specific intervals; set a timer or calendar reminder to remind you to take a standing break; set a goal to take a break every 30—60 minutes. “Amplify (增强) the effect by taking a short walk and even better taking a flight of stairs. Walking while on the phone can be a good way to burn some calories，” he added.
1．Why have doctors called sitting the new smoking
A．It can keep us calm. B．It is harmful to our health.
C．It makes us like smoking. D．It is the same as smoking.
2．How long can we sit at a time according to a 2017 study
A．Less than half an hour. B．One and a half hours.
C．11 hours. D．13 hours.
3．What does Brown advise people to do
A．Take part in various activities. B．Wear a watch.
C．Reduce time of sitting every day. D．Have a break every now and then.
4．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Sitting Is Exactly like Smoking B．There Are Tips on Keeping Us Active
C．Activities Can Help to Lose Weight D．Sitting Too Long Is Harmful to Our Health

I graduated from college in the early 1990s with a major in Italian literature and there was no clue how I was going to make a living. I struggled to find my footing in a new city, working a variety of jobs, always looking for my “real” career. __1__
One day I opened my mail and found a note with an image from my mother. __2__ It was a portrait (肖像) of John Gorrie—the inventor of the first artificial ice machine—that the artist Dennis Gephardt had made entirely out of pieces of toast. “If someone can make a portrait out of toast，” my mother wrote to me, “you can do anything.”
This small portrait brought a ray of hope to me. Gorrie believed he did not need winter in order to make ice. Gephardt, the artist, believed he could honour that fact by painstakingly cutting 143 slices of bread into the likeness of a man. __3__ Why not me I carried this cutting in my notebook for years.
When I entered my 30s, now as a wife and a mother, I decided to throw myself into a new career as a writer. So once again, I needed all the encouragement I could get. __4__ Years went on. A failed marriage, my daughter's teenage years, another career shift throughout it all, the toast remained in view. When I gave up writing and started a new business, my friends had their doubts. But I looked at the toast. This career has brought more success than I've ever achieved before. __5__ If someone can make a portrait out of toast, well, we can do anything.
A．Both achieved their goals.
B．As in most cases, Mum was right.
C．She'd cut it out from Harper'sMagazine.
D．The framed portrait lay quiet in my new office.
E．Gorrie and Gephardt had been friends for long.
F．I framed the portrait and hung it on my wall.
G．I was badly in need of encouragement, from anyone, anywhere.
