I held a yogurt in one hand as I tried to eat and read customers' e-mails during the lunch hour.Even fifteen minutes in the employee lunchroom seemed too much.My company had cut costs by not hiring new workers as they left.The survivors were expected to finish the remaining work.
For me,this meant no lunch hour.I didn't feel I worked at a job;I felt I was my job.I wanted to resign,but given the economy,I reminded I couldn't until I got another job.Then a chance conversation with a six-year-old girl changed my thought.She was lovely,standing in line with her mom at the grocery store.
"Good day at school?" I asked.She nodded. "What's your favorite subject?" I continued. "Lunch." I smiled at the answer,which had ever been my answer.At lunch,there were no adults to tell us what to do and we could sit and talk with our friends.Sometimes we could plan our time,while sometimes our time became more spontaneous— we only decided what to do while we were eating our sandwiches.
That conversation left me wondering;what had happened to lunch?By law I have the right to take a lunch break at work,so I decided to start taking it and set out to explore the small town.When the weather turned cold,I visited the used public library.Near the library was a small pond that attracted ducks and small children with their parents.
When I decided to take back my lunch hour,I was ready for unkind remarks or stares from my co-workers.Actually,some of my co-workers started to leave away occasionally during lunch time.Therefore,we started inviting each other out for walks during good weather and discovered that we shared many common topics of conversation.
I'm still looking for a new position,but with less stressed-out urgency than before.You can't always change your circumstances,but you can always change your perspective.
4.Why did the author want to leave the company? ______

D. Have a break during her lunch time.
7.Which of the following might the author agree with? ______

C. Changing what we could control makes a difference.
D. Appreciating every moment in our life can decide our efficiency.

The reference desk staff at Baton Rouge,Louisiana's public libraries are proud of themselves for answering their customers' questions.The best recipe,the history of zydeco,the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl.Even in this age of Google and Siri,there's no shortage of questions.
"We're in the information business," says Patricia Husband,assistant branch library director.
Then came the flooding of 2016.Suddenly the questions became more urgent (紧急的).People wanted to know how to contact Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance,where to get help paying bills,even where to find a homeless shelter.Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library's reference sources could give them.They needed someone who could spend more time with them,advise them on whom to call for assistance and what documents and information they'd need.
The library turned to Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge (VOAGBR),a nonprofit it had worked with in the past.At VOAGBR,they're all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing,a drop-in center for the homeless,therapists who work with families in crisis,programs for seniors.They were committed to helping those who were called "the least of these".A 90-day pilot program (试点项目) was launched in the spring of 2017.Three evenings a week,VOAGBR would send caseworkers to three library branches.
The pilot program was extended for an entire year.In its first six months at the library branches,VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached.There were also programs like Ask a Lawyer,where a lawyer gives free legal advice once a month.
There are a lot of books in Baton Rouge's libraries — full of information,guidance,wisdom and entertainment — but the help that VOAGBR offers there is right out of people's heart.
8.What is the aim of paragraph 1? ______
A. To indicate staff's work is hard.
B. To prove the library is people's pride.
C. To show the good service of the library.
D. To introduce the great number of books.
9.What was a problem facing the library during the flood? ______
A. Its reference sources lessened.
B. The books in it were destroyed.
C. Too many people rushed in for shelter.
D. It couldn't provide all information people needed.
10.What can we know about VOAGBR? ______
A. It offered aid to the needy. B. It was set up in 2017.
C. It was a library branch. D. It was a 90-day pilot program.
11.What can be inferred about the pilot program? ______
A. It changed into an academic one.
B. It benefited people a lot.
C. It advertised VOAGBR in the world.
D. It helped the sufferers with its profits.
D
"If you want to change the world,start off by making your bed," William McRaven told the graduating class of 2014 at the University of Texas,Austin.His point is quite universal:whether you are a sailor,a salesperson or a CEO, "if you make your bed every morning,you will have completed the first task of the day."
Everyone must battle the desire to procrastinate (拖延),or to put off,every now and again.So here are some tips for procrastinators who wish to make their lives more efficient.
The easiest way to get things finished is to get going in the first place.The reason why busy people never stop moving is that their constant movement generates further motivation.This is,obviously,easier said than done.The more unpleasant something seems,the more you think about just how awful it is.That in turn makes you less likely to start it—and so on.
In practical terms,getting going can mean something as simple as opening an email.Two decades ago,in Getting Things Done:The Art of Stress-Free Productivity,a time-management consultant,David Allen,warned readers that "the in-basket is a processing station,not a storage bin".Email correspondence (通信) is the starting point of most work projects now.Just click it.
Once you have got moving,consider your waypoints (路径点).That may mean breaking a job down into smaller parts.A paper from 2005 by researchers at MIT examined how knowledge is processed.They found that the brain prefers concrete and separate tasks to broad and abstract ones.So set your sights on completing a document first,rather than starting with the goal of making a complete strategy.
Putting something off doesn't make it go away.If employees often put off tasks and decisions,firms can suffer real material losses.So if that email arrives early in the morning,read it and reply—even if that means leaving your bed unmade.
12.What is the point of making the bed by William McRaven? ______
A. It ensures a good night's sleep. B. It sets his principle.
C. It helps to keep the bedroom tidy. D. It is a sign of getting started.
13.How do those busy people overcome procrastination? ______
A. Finding more awful things to do.
B. Keeping motivated continuously.
C. Having a fear of missing deadlines.
D. Taking an opportunity as the first thing.
14.What do the researchers from MIT advise people to do? ______
A. Have a complete strategy. B. Select the biggest waypoint.
C. Divide the tasks into parts. D. Create a detailed schedule.
15.Which is the best title of this passage? ______
A. A Guide for Procrastinators to Improve Work Efficiency
B. Making the Bed Keeps Your Life More Efficient
C. A Procrastinator Changes the Whole World
D. Email Correspondence—the Start to Remove Procrastination

38.It was sunny last Saturday and I made preparations for a hike with my classmates.I was so excited about it since it was my first time to go hiking.I ate just a few pieces of bread and an egg for breakfast.Then I grabbed my backpack and hurriedly ran out of my house and met my classmates at the school gate.At that time I didn't think that there would be a terrible disaster ahead.
The jungle (丛林) that we are going to was far from our area.The drive was three hours long but it was not a dull ride as we were all eager about the hike and we had each other's company.We appointed a guide and his name was Thomas.He said that he had hiked in that jungle many times,and he was familiar with the pathways.When we arrived,Thomas allowed us to begin.There were a wide variety of plants I had never seen before.The smell of the jungle was so earthy.All of us were amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the sound of the creatures.
We walked for a while and then I looked at my wrist (手腕) to check the time.It was then that I realized my watch had fallen off.Then I walked back without telling anyone.I did not worry about getting lost since there were other persons behind and I thought I would have been able to catch up with my classmates.I went back searching the pathway and I lost track of time and lost sight of my classmates.I immediately realized that I was alone.
After I realized I was lost,the first thing I did was to check my phone to see how far away I was from my classmates.However,I was having no luck because there was no network in my phone,which made my phone practically useless.

36.【答案】【小题1】is known
【小题2】conducted
【小题3】at
【小题4】less
【小题5】regularly
【小题6】affecting
【小题7】whose
【小题8】a
【小题9】to keep
【小题10】beneficial
【解析】(1)考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:太极拳以其缓慢的动作,被人们知道对身心健康有好处。根据句意可知,此处描述一般事实,应用一般现在时,动词know与主语Tai chi之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为专有名词Tai chi,所以be动词为is,故填is known。
(2)考查动词时态。句意:研究者们对帕金森病患者进行了五年的研究。根据discovered可知,此处描述过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,动词用过去式。故填conducted。
(3)考查介词。句意:他们发现,在那些练习太极拳的人中,这种情况的恶化速度较慢。at a ...speed"以……的速度"为固定短语。故填at。
(4)考查形容词比较级。句意:观察到太极拳练习者的摔倒次数减少了,头晕和背痛也减少了。根据fewer可知,此处应用形容词比较级,又是修饰不可数名词dizziness,应用less。故填less。
(5)考查副词。句意:他们还指出,经常练习太极拳的测试参与者的认知功能变差的速度变慢了。修饰动词practiced应用副词。故填regularly。
(6)考查现在分词。句意:帕金森病是一种影响神经和肌肉的脑部疾病。该句的谓语是is,空处应用非谓语动词,动词affect与其逻辑主语Parkinson's disease之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作后置定语。故填affecting。
(7)考查非限制性定语从句。句意:它会逐渐导致无法控制的动作,其症状包括震颤、僵硬和平衡困难。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是movements,在从句中作定语,应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
(8)考查冠词。句意:帕金森患者中最著名的人之一是Muhammad Ali,一个重量级拳击冠军。此处champion为可数名词单数,应用不定冠词表泛指,单词heavyweight的发音是以辅音开头的,故填a。
(9)考查动词不定式。句意:研究人员建议,太极是控制帕金森病症状的最有帮助的方法之一。根据ways可知,此处应用动词不定式作ways的后置定语。故填to keep。
(10)考查形容词。句意:他们说:"太极拳对帕金森患者的长期有益影响可以延长患者没有残疾的时间,从而提高生活质量,减轻护理人员的负担,减少药物使用。"修饰名词effect应用形容词。故填beneficial。
这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了太极拳对帕金森病患者的影响。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上,灵活运用所学的词汇和语法知识。因此,这就需要在平时的学习中,牢固掌握语言点及一些语法知识。
