Super Typhoon Rai (known as “Odette” in the Philippines) made landfall on Siargao Island in southeastern Philippines at 1:30 pm local time on Thursday, December 16. The typhoon was the 15th storm to hit the country in 2021 and was the strongest storm of 2021. Almost 16 million Filipinos were facing threats including strong winds, heavy rains, flooding, landslides, displacement and risking loss of life, home, livelihood and agriculture. Around 700,000 of them were children.
UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) expressed deep concern for children and families at risk and announced its commitment to providing support to the Philippine government. Reyn Ambag was one of the children who were rescued during the typhoon.
12-year-old Reyn Ambag is a grade 7 student living on the island of Siargao. He goes to school in San Isidro National High School which is located in the Municipality of San Isidro. With Values Education as his favorite subject in school, Reyn is always ready to help others.
Reyn is raised by his mother who is a single parent and runs a retail store alone. Aside from his mother, his cousin has also been living with them to help out in the absence of Reyn’s father. Reyn’s mother provides for all three of them. She is able to support their daily needs and Reyn’s schooling by the income she gets from the small retail store.
During Typhoon Odette Reyn’s family stayed inside the comfort room of the school where they were evacuated (疏散) to. There, he witnessed through the window how the strong winds of the typhoon destroyed the area. They stayed there until the storm subsided and it was safe for them to go out. Upon returning to their home, they were astonished to find that their house was damaged due to the fallen trees.
After observing the delays in restoring the electricity in their community, Reyn wanted to pursue a related job in the future. “I want to be an electrician someday so that if a power cut would happen because of a typhoon, I would be able to help in restoring it for free,” said Reyn.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Different types of natural disasters.
B. The introduction of a typhoon and its threats.
C. Historical data of the strongest typhoons.
D. The government’s reaction to Super Typhoon Rai.
5. Where does Reyn’s schooling fees come from
A. His father. B. His cousin. C. His family store. D. His part-time job.
6. What does the underlined word “subsided” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Broke into. B. Fell apart. C. Went over. D. Died down.
7. Why did Reyn intend to become an electrician
A. To make money to support his family.
B. To reward the community with his work.
C. To restore power in time after typhoons.
D. To meet his mother’s expectations of him.
C
Procrastination (拖延症) is the act of putting off or delaying an action to a later time. I find one of the most maddeningly illogical causes of procrastination is uncertainty about where to start when I have multiple tasks which all need to be done.
What I want to stress is that I don’t think that procrastination, at least among high achievers like you, is a product of laziness. Among high achieving people, procrastination can be strongly motivated by perfectionism. Because you have high standards for yourself, you cannot do anything unless it’s perfect.
So, what can someone like you, Danny, do Here are the things I would recommend you start doing immediately.
Understand that punishing yourself with negative messages will not help you but only discourage you. You need to accept that you are a well-meaning and talented person who has extremely normal psychological problems and deserves the care from yourself and from others that will help you succeed. Forgive yourself.
If you’re anything like me, you read any tales of successful people with heightened interest. Notice how many of them took detours(绕道)in their lives or suffered any number of failures on their way to success. You are younger than you feel and beyond your short-term tasks which feel at present like your entire career, there are a number of roads that will be open to you in the future. With a wide imagination and firm determination, you will have potentially a huge number of paths to happiness available to you in the future.
Finally, and most importantly, understand that your life is already happening, since you only have a limited number of years in life. Do not waste them thinking your happiness is some time off in the future. Resolve to live your life in the well-rounded happy ways that you want today. Enjoying life and doing what you find most fulfilling is not a reward scheduled for a decade from now. It is something for your whole life, starting day one.
8. What does the author think about procrastination
A. It contributes to stress. B. It results from laziness.
C. It originates from uncertainty. D. It leads to perfectionism.
9. Why does the author mention “successful people” in paragraph 5
A. To raise an issue to figure out. B. To suggest a career to work on.
C. To present role models to learn from. D. To advise an angle to think from.
10. What does the author suggest at last
A. Living in the moment. B. Learning from new resolutions.
C. Thinking about the future. D. Hoping for happiness all the time.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A research paper. B. A personal letter.
C. A health brochure. D. A psychology textbook.
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector (制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
12. What are the effects of people’ misjudgments on the influences of new technology
A. It stimulates innovation. B. It affects their personal opinions.
C. It influences their use of resources. D. It leads to improved technology.
13. Why is the “digital divide” a concern related to the fascination with the Internet in rich countries
A. It leads to competition between rich and poor countries.
B. It results in a lack of access to technology in developing countries.
C. It increases the cost of computer equipment in rich countries.
D. It promotes global digital cooperation.
14. From Paragraph 4, we know that ________.
A. donating for technology is always the better option
B. the author does not provide opinions on this matter
C. donating for technology and basic needs should be balanced
D. donating for basic needs should be prioritized over technology
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Significance of information and communication technology.
B. Serious consequences of over-emphasizing high technology.
C Technological trends guiding economic policy making.
D. How to use donation money in the new age.

There’s a Symphony Just Below the Surface — Can You Hear It
Imagine it’s your birthday, and your friends and family pool their money to get you the best gift you can imagine: tickets for fabulous seats to see your favorite musical act. But what if you got to the venue and something terrible had just happened to you ____16____. Even while facing the prospect of extreme difficulty in your life, you are so thrilled to see your favorite group that for a couple of hours, you can put all of that behind you.
____17____. That is the ability to suspend our fears and worries and focus on what we love. In the example of the concert we know that when the music ends, we may go back to our concerns, but while it’s playing, there is nothing we can do about them, so we might as well just give in.
Life always has its music, and we don’t need to be front-row center at a concert to hear it. Throughout our lives, no matter what else is going on, a melody is present. But we are often so focused on the present moment that we fail to hear the melody. ____18____.
We can become magnificent listeners to life, with enough practice. And let’s face it, this is something we were born to do, so the skill is there, waiting for us to employ it. We can tap into the music, and when we do find ourselves distracted from it, we can use consciousness to bring us right back. It is as simple as saying, “OK, I’m distracted again; I am going to start listening again.” ____19____.
Life is always playing music, but we have to listen, and we listen by being present. We can do this. ____20____. When we do this, we’ll discover that the symphony inside of us is magnificent.
A. As humans, we have been given a wonderful gift
B. These feelings may last several minutes or even last several hours
C. In a word, wisdom and patience are the things that listening to the music of life requires
D. Soon, we will find that we have to redirect ourselves less and less, and we hear the music more and more
E. You’d broken your knees, say, or you learned of a failure of exam
F. The noise of our worry drowns out all the other things we might otherwise hear and enjoy
G. We just need to realize and engage with the music of life that is always playing

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dmitry Bondarenko was a Toronto-based artist. One day he had an appointment with a friend for a painting session. So he put the objects including his sketchbook (速写本) in the back basket of his bike and then cycled to meet his friend. But when he arrived and turned to take his things, he was shocked to find his sketchbook was missing.
The 5×7 black sketchbook contained a decade of his works and had great emotional value to him. It included portraits of friends and family, and still life paintings of his great grandfather when he served in Red Army in Russia. The notebook became a visual account of the 40-year-old artist’s life and family history. His parents are Russian and Ukrainian, and he and his family moved to Canada when he was a child.
Dmitry shared that he felt a deep sense of loss when he first discovered his sketchbook missing. He thought that the book must have fallen out of his bicycle’s back basket. So he went back to look for it. First, he retraced his steps and posted dozens of flyers along the bike path through the park. He also checked with park services. Several days later, he still had no clue where his precious sketchbook was, making him extremely sad and anxious.
“I realized the weight of it when it was gone, how precious it is,” Bondarenko said sadly.
In a last-ditch effort to locate his treasured sketchbook, he decided to turn to social media. He shared a post to a neighborhood Facebook group, detailing his trouble. A few other community-oriented Facebook groups reshared the post. Word quickly spread within the local community for everyone to keep an eye out for the missing sketchbook.
In the meanwhile, a man named Chris found the sketchbook in the park. As he picked it up and skimmed through the pages, he found there was no name or address. The paintings in the book were so impressive that he couldn’t take his eyes off. Finally, he decided to leave the sketchbook where it was found, thinking the owner would return to look for it. He leafed through the sketchbook again before putting it down.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a dishonorable idea occurred to him.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chris Elam contacted Dmitry at once, telling him that the sketchbook was in his house.

Super Typhoon Rai (known as “Odette” in the Philippines) made landfall on Siargao Island in southeastern Philippines at 1:30 pm local time on Thursday, December 16. The typhoon was the 15th storm to hit the country in 2021 and was the strongest storm of 2021. Almost 16 million Filipinos were facing threats including strong winds, heavy rains, flooding, landslides, displacement and risking loss of life, home, livelihood and agriculture. Around 700,000 of them were children.
UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) expressed deep concern for children and families at risk and announced its commitment to providing support to the Philippine government. Reyn Ambag was one of the children who were rescued during the typhoon.
12-year-old Reyn Ambag is a grade 7 student living on the island of Siargao. He goes to school in San Isidro National High School which is located in the Municipality of San Isidro. With Values Education as his favorite subject in school, Reyn is always ready to help others.
Reyn is raised by his mother who is a single parent and runs a retail store alone. Aside from his mother, his cousin has also been living with them to help out in the absence of Reyn’s father. Reyn’s mother provides for all three of them. She is able to support their daily needs and Reyn’s schooling by the income she gets from the small retail store.
During Typhoon Odette, Reyn’s family stayed inside the comfort room of the school where they were evacuated (疏散) to. There, he witnessed through the window how the strong winds of the typhoon destroyed the area. They stayed there until the storm subsided and it was safe for them to go out. Upon returning to their home, they were astonished to find that their house was damaged due to the fallen trees.
After observing the delays in restoring the electricity in their community, Reyn wanted to pursue a related job in the future. “I want to be an electrician someday so that if a power cut would happen because of a typhoon, I would be able to help in restoring it for free,” said Reyn.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Different types of natural disasters.
B. The introduction of a typhoon and its threats.
C. Historical data of the strongest typhoons.
D. The government’s reaction to Super Typhoon Rai.
5. Where does Reyn’s schooling fees come from
A. His father. B. His cousin. C. His family store. D. His part-time job.
6. What does the underlined word “subsided” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Broke into. B. Fell apart. C. Went over. D. Died down.
7. Why did Reyn intend to become an electrician
A To make money to support his family.
B. To reward the community with his work.
C. To restore power in time after typhoons.
D. To meet his mother’s expectations of him.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“The typhoon was the 15th storm to hit the country in 2021 and was the strongest storm of 2021. Almost 16 million Filipinos were facing threats including strong winds, heavy rains, flooding, landslides, displacement and risking loss of life, home, livelihood and agriculture.(这是2021年袭击该国的第15次风暴，也是2021年最强的风暴。近1600万菲律宾人面临着包括强风、暴雨、洪水、山体滑坡、流离失所和生命、家园、生计和农业损失的威胁)”可知，第一段主要介绍了超强台风Rai及其威胁。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“She is able to support their daily needs and Reyn’s schooling by the income she gets from the small retail store. (她从小零售店获得的收入能够支持他们的日常需求和Reyn的学校教育。)”可知，Reyn的学费来自他母亲经营小店的收入。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“They stayed there (他们一直呆在那里)”及划线词后“and it was safe for them to go out. (他们可以安全出门了)”可推断，他们一直呆在那里，直到风暴平息才回家，划线词subsided为“平息”之意，和Died down意思相近。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““I want to be an electrician someday so that if a power cut would happen because of a typhoon, I would be able to help in restoring it for free,” said Reyn. (“我想有一天成为一名电工，这样如果因为台风而停电，我就可以免费帮助恢复供电，”Reyn说。)”可知，Reyn想成为电工的原因是为了能够在台风之后及时修好电力设施，恢复供电。故选C。
C
Procrastination (拖延症) is the act of putting off or delaying an action to a later time. I find one of the most maddeningly illogical causes of procrastination is uncertainty about where to start when I have multiple tasks which all need to be done.
What I want to stress is that I don’t think that procrastination, at least among high achievers like you, is a product of laziness. Among high achieving people, procrastination can be strongly motivated by perfectionism. Because you have high standards for yourself, you cannot do anything unless it’s perfect.
So, what can someone like you, Danny, do Here are the things I would recommend you start doing immediately.
Understand that punishing yourself with negative messages will not help you but only discourage you. You need to accept that you are a well-meaning and talented person who has extremely normal psychological problems and deserves the care from yourself and from others that will help you succeed. Forgive yourself.
If you’re anything like me, you read any tales of successful people with heightened interest. Notice how many of them took detours(绕道)in their lives or suffered any number of failures on their way to success. You are younger than you feel and beyond your short-term tasks which feel at present like your entire career, there are a number of roads that will be open to you in the future. With a wide imagination and firm determination, you will have potentially a huge number of paths to happiness available to you in the future.
Finally, and most importantly, understand that your life is already happening, since you only have a limited number of years in life. Do not waste them thinking your happiness is some time off in the future. Resolve to live your life in the well-rounded happy ways that you want today. Enjoying life and doing what you find most fulfilling is not a reward scheduled for a decade from now. It is something for your whole life, starting day one.
8. What does the author think about procrastination
A. It contributes to stress. B. It results from laziness.
C. It originates from uncertainty. D. It leads to perfectionism.
9. Why does the author mention “successful people” in paragraph 5
A. To raise an issue to figure out. B. To suggest a career to work on.
C. To present role models to learn from. D. To advise an angle to think from.
10. What does the author suggest at last
A. Living in the moment. B. Learning from new resolutions.
C. Thinking about the future. D. Hoping for happiness all the time.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A research paper. B. A personal letter.
C. A health brochure. D. A psychology textbook.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文是作者写给丹尼的信，在信中，作者介绍了他理解的拖延症是什么原因造成的，以及给出如何克服拖延症的一些方法和建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I find one of the most maddeningly illogical causes of procrastination is uncertainty about where to start when I have multiple tasks which all need to be done.(我发现拖延症最令人抓狂的不合逻辑的原因之一是，当我有多项任务都需要完成时，不确定从哪里开始)”可知，作者认为在众多的任务中不确定从哪里开始导致了他的拖延。由此可知，是不确定性导致了拖延。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Notice how many of them took detours (绕道) in their lives or suffered any number of failures on their way to success.(请注意，他们中有多少人在人生中走了弯路，或者在通往成功的道路上经历了无数次失败)”以及“ With a wide imagination and firm determination, you will have potentially a huge number of paths to happiness available to you in the future.(有了广泛的想象力和坚定的决心，你未来可能会有很多通往幸福的道路)”可知，成功人士也走了很多的弯路或经历很多的失败，这可以让我们换种角度去思考我们自己的人生，这样就会有很多通往幸福的道路。由此可推知，在第五段提到成功人士，是为了提出一个思考的角度。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Finally, and most importantly, understand that your life is already happening, since you only have a limited number of years in life. Do not waste them thinking your happiness is some time off in the future. Resolve to live your life in the well-rounded happy ways that you want today. (最后，也是最重要的一点，要明白你的生活已经发生了，因为你的生命只有有限的几年。不要浪费他们的时间去想你的幸福是在未来的一段时间。下定决心以你今天想要的全面幸福的方式生活)”可知，我们要活在当下是作者给出的最后一个建议。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“So, what can someone like you, Danny, do Here are the things I would recommend you start doing immediately.(那么，像你这样的人，丹尼，能做什么呢？以下是我建议你立即开始做的事情)”可推知，这是作者写给丹尼的信，信中建议他如何克服拖延症。故选B。
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector (制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
12. What are the effects of people’ misjudgments on the influences of new technology
A. It stimulates innovation. B. It affects their personal opinions.
C. It influences their use of resources. D. It leads to improved technology.
13. Why is the “digital divide” a concern related to the fascination with the Internet in rich countries
A. It leads to competition between rich and poor countries.
B. It results in a lack of access to technology in developing countries.
C. It increases the cost of computer equipment in rich countries.
D. It promotes global digital cooperation.
14. From Paragraph 4, we know that ________.
A. donating for technology is always the better option
B. the author does not provide opinions on this matter
C. donating for technology and basic needs should be balanced
D. donating for basic needs should be prioritized over technology
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Significance of information and communication technology.
B. Serious consequences of over-emphasizing high technology.
C Technological trends guiding economic policy making.
D. How to use donation money in the new age.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了对信息技术的过分迷恋会对国家、个人以及国际社会造成不利的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.(如果这些错误判断只是人们的观点问题，那也无关紧要。然而，它们有实际的影响，因为它们导致了对稀缺资源的错误使用)”可知，人们对新技术影响的错误判断会影响他们对资源的使用。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.(这导致公司和个人向发展中国家捐款，购买计算机设备和互联网设施。然而，问题是，这是否是发展中国家最需要的。)”可知，“数字鸿沟”与富裕国家对互联网的迷恋有关是因为它使得公司或个人给发展中国家捐赠设备和设施，没有提供的相应的技术，导致发展中国家缺乏获得技术的机会。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.(也许把钱花在那些不那么时髦的事情上，比如挖井、扩大电网和制造更便宜的洗衣机，比给每个孩子一台笔记本电脑或在农村建立互联网中心更能改善人们的生活，我并不是说这些事情一定更重要，但是，许多捐助者在没有仔细评估其资金替代用途的相对长期成本和收益的情况下，就匆忙投入了花哨的项目)”可知，捐助基本需求应该优先于技术。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.(如果这些错误判断只是人们的观点问题，那也无关紧要。然而，它们有实际的影响，因为它们导致了对稀缺资源的错误使用)”结合文章讲述了对信息技术的过分迷恋会对国家、个人以及国际社会造成不利的影响可知，这篇文章主要讲的是过分强调高科技的严重后果。故选B。

There’s a Symphony Just Below the Surface — Can You Hear It
Imagine it’s your birthday, and your friends and family pool their money to get you the best gift you can imagine: tickets for fabulous seats to see your favorite musical act. But what if you got to the venue and something terrible had just happened to you ____16____. Even while facing the prospect of extreme difficulty in your life, you are so thrilled to see your favorite group that for a couple of hours, you can put all of that behind you.
____17____. That is the ability to suspend our fears and worries and focus on what we love. In the example of the concert, we know that when the music ends, we may go back to our concerns, but while it’s playing, there is nothing we can do about them, so we might as well just give in.
Life always has its music, and we don’t need to be front-row center at a concert to hear it. Throughout our lives, no matter what else is going on, a melody is present. But we are often so focused on the present moment that we fail to hear the melody. ____18____.
We can become magnificent listeners to life, with enough practice. And let’s face it, this is something we were born to do, so the skill is there, waiting for us to employ it. We can tap into the music, and when we do find ourselves distracted from it, we can use consciousness to bring us right back. It is as simple as saying, “OK, I’m distracted again; I am going to start listening again.” ____19____.
Life is always playing music, but we have to listen, and we listen by being present. We can do this. ____20____. When we do this, we’ll discover that the symphony inside of us is magnificent.
A. As humans, we have been given a wonderful gift
B. These feelings may last several minutes or even last several hours
C. In a word, wisdom and patience are the things that listening to the music of life requires
D. Soon, we will find that we have to redirect ourselves less and less, and we hear the music more and more
E. You’d broken your knees, say, or you learned of a failure of exam
F. The noise of our worry drowns out all the other things we might otherwise hear and enjoy
G. We just need to realize and engage with the music of life that is always playing
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. G

It is as simple as saying, “OK, I’m distracted again; I am going to start listening again.” (经过足够的练习，我们可以成为生活的伟大听众。让我们面对现实吧，这是我们生来就会做的事情，所以技能就在那里，等着我们去运用它。我们可以进入音乐，当我们发现自己分心时，我们可以用意识把我们带回来。这就像说:“好吧，我又分心了；我重新开始听了)”可知，D项Soon, we will find that we have to redirect ourselves less and less, and we hear the music more and more(很快，我们就会发现，我们必须越来越少地改变自己的方向，而我们听到的音乐越来越多)能够承接上文，说明我们及时调节自己的状态便可以重新欣赏音乐。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dmitry Bondarenko was a Toronto-based artist. One day he had an appointment with a friend for a painting session. So he put the objects including his sketchbook (速写本) in the back basket of his bike and then cycled to meet his friend. But when he arrived and turned to take his things, he was shocked to find his sketchbook was missing.
The 5×7 black sketchbook contained a decade of his works and had great emotional value to him. It included portraits of friends and family, and still life paintings of his great grandfather when he served in Red Army in Russia. The notebook became a visual account of the 40-year-old artist’s life and family history. His parents are Russian and Ukrainian, and he and his family moved to Canada when he was a child.
Dmitry shared that he felt a deep sense of loss when he first discovered his sketchbook missing. He thought that the book must have fallen out of his bicycle’s back basket. So he went back to look for it. First, he retraced his steps and posted dozens of flyers along the bike path through the park. He also checked with park services. Several days later, he still had no clue where his precious sketchbook was, making him extremely sad and anxious.
“I realized the weight of it when it was gone, how precious it is,” Bondarenko said sadly.
In a last-ditch effort to locate his treasured sketchbook, he decided to turn to social media. He shared a post to a neighborhood Facebook group, detailing his trouble. A few other community-oriented Facebook groups reshared the post. Word quickly spread within the local community for everyone to keep an eye out for the missing sketchbook.
In the meanwhile, a man named Chris found the sketchbook in the park. As he picked it up and skimmed through the pages, he found there was no name or address. The paintings in the book were so impressive that he couldn’t take his eyes off. Finally, he decided to leave the sketchbook where it was found, thinking the owner would return to look for it. He leafed through the sketchbook again before putting it down.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a dishonorable idea occurred to him.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, a dishonorable idea occurred to him. “Why not keep it for myself ” Chris thought. Looking around, he found nobody was around. Then he quickly took off his coat, wrapped it and went home. The moment he got home, he sat down and went through the sketchbook once more. An hour had passed before he was interrupted by a phone call. He answered the phone and then went on to check his Facebook. Just then, he found a post in his neighborhood Facebook group. It was about a lost sketchbook. Chris lost in thought.
Chris Elam contacted Dmitry at once, telling him that the sketchbook was in his house. When hearing the news, Dmitry was really happy. Then he asked for Chris’ address and came over without delay. Dmitry appreciated that Chris had taken such care with the book, and tried to present Chris with a finder’s reward. But Chris refused, saying he was simply happy to complete an act of kindness for a neighbor. Seeing the smile on Dmitry’s face, Chris felt so relieved. He realized that a good deed could make a day for both the giver and the receiver.
