第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Critical (批判的) thinking is the art of using reason to analyze ideas and dig deeper to get to our true potential. It doesn’t mean you’re thinking harder or longer. ____16____ Here are some tips and ideas to help you build a foundation for critical thinking.
Question your assumptions. We make a lot of assumptions about almost everything. It’s how our brain processes certain pieces of information, and how we get along in everyday life. You could say they are the foundation of our critical framework. ____17____ Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up.
Don’t take information on authority until you've investigated it yourself. Instead of double-checking everything anyone says we tend to label information as either coming from a trustworthy or not trustworthy source. This keeps us from double-checking every piece of information that comes our way, saving time and energy. But it also keeps us from getting to the bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, even when they don’t. ___18___
Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Empathy can also help you develop your critical thinking skills. ____19____ You may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight into other people and their behavior. The deeper your insight into yourself and others the wiser your decisions will be.
___20___ There is no way to learn better than learning from your friends. If you only want to be a big fish swimming in the little pond just because your ego (自负) feels good, keep this part. If you are wondering about how to develop critical skills, make friends with smart people and throw away your ego.
A. Actually, it’s about thinking better.
B. Surround yourself with people smarter than you.
C. Be someone that people know that they can count on.
D. You should not judge others until you fully understand their situation.
E. But what if they turned out to be wrong, or at least not entirely truthful
F. The reason is that understanding does not always go with the right action.
GSo what is published in a magazine or online doesn’t mean it’s necessarily true.

第二节(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处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With spring around the corner, stores are offering gardeners many choices for seeds. Starting a garden from seeds, rather than buying young plants, is a low-cost way to enjoy many kinds of flowers and food crops.
36 Everything the plant needs to start growing is in the seed. All you have to do is put it into soil that is a little wet and not let the soil dry out while the seed does its own job. If there are any special requirements, they are usually printed in the simple directions on the back of every seed container.
Planting big seeds is simple. 37 Put the tip of a pencil in water and then use it to pick up each seed. It will hold one seed as you put it into its starting container.
When choosing containers to start plants, you can use any old plastic containers, newspapers or cardboards. 38 But remember to put drainage (排水) holes in each one. If you do not add holes, water can build up in the bottom and cause the seeds to rot.
Gardeners are reminded to be aware that it would be a shame to grow something in a container and then forget what it is called. 39
And it is never too early to think about the next growing season. Once you have established plants in your garden, consider letting some “go to seed.” 40 That way you will have your own seeds for next year’s garden, and you will not have to buy them at all.
A．As a matter of fact, starting seeds is easy.
B．In fact, choosing the right seeds is important.
C．You can also use egg containers or anything that is available.
D．You can keep the containers inside your house or under a shelter.
E．This means you are growing them for their seeds, not for crops.
F．But very small seeds, like celery seeds, need a little equipment.
G．Write the names of the seeds on the containers to help you remember.
