For a teenager whose chances of survival were slim when he was born, just making it to the starting line at the Olympics is a miraculous achievement in itself.
William Flaherty was born in Cincinnati. When he was 3, he was diagnosed with HLH. It is an often-fatal disease where the immune system attacks the body’s organs. There were days when they didn’t know if he would live through. The 17-year-old Flaherty has had more than 30 operations in his life, including a bone-marrow transplant from his older brother Charles in 2008.
At five, William skied for the first time. It helped a lot with low bone density and got him back in good shape. One year later, William moved to Puerto Rico and fell in love with the island. Puerto Rico doesn’t have snow and balancing the island and skiing life was tough. During the first few years a lot of it was pushed by his father and older brother Charles—himself a former Olympic skier. Motivated by his older brother, William wanted to give it a try himself. When he brought up to represent Puerto Rico in Alpine skiing, his friends laughed. However, he didn’t let it hold him back.
As a teenager, Flaherty had to balance his training with medical appointments and going to school. Even a cold could lay him up for two weeks, so William took extra pre-cautions over the last two years. While training, he wore an N95 mask the whole time and couldn’t ride the lift with anyone. After training, he came home directly, hid in his bedroom and stayed away from people. He managed to maintain straight A’s despite having to study on chairlifts and do final exams sometimes only days before racing. He had his English final three days before he left for Beijing.
“All my medical problems have definitely helped with my motivation. Skiing is really helpful because it forces me to focus on one thing. I really want to prove to all the other transplant survivors that you can do whatever you want in life. Move on with your life and achieve whatever you want,” he said.
4. Why did William Flaherty start skiing at the age of five
A. To entertain himself. B. To participate in the Olympics.
C. To improve his health. D. To follow in his father’s footsteps.
5. What can we learn about William Flaherty according to the passage
A. His studies gave way to his training for skiing.
B. Puerto Rico could offer him better training conditions.
C. He was inspired by his older brother Charles in skiing.
D. He started to learn skiing when he moved to Puerto Rico.
6. Which of the following can best describe William Flaherty
A. Brave and kind. B. Creative and generous.
C. Modest and shy. D. Optimistic and hardworking.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Skiing Life of a Teenager. B. Preparing Well for the Olympics.
C. Surviving from Severe Illness. D. Defeating Disease to Deliver Hope.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】

When it comes to home decoration, one of the first opportunities we get to express ourselves is by choosing which posters to tear out of magazines and stick on our teenage bedroom walls. So why was the humble poster so popular The simplest argument is that it allows children and teens to match their bedroom to their personality. Adolescence is a time when we long for independence and a voice, and posters allow that freedom. This is particularly important at a time when the bedroom is an important space away from the pressures of school, annoying brothers or sisters and parents who seem to go out of their way to cause embarrassment.
Another advantage of posters as a first attempt into decoration is their transience. Buying magazines with pin-ups of your favourite celebrities is a more affordable and less time-consuming alternative to decorating a bedroom and, once a fashion passes, posters can easily be taken down.
My own walls were covered with posters from a young age. At the risk of sounding strange, swapping my posters around was a hobby during my teenage years. I’d commit hours to rearranging them on my wall, ensuring every inch was covered.
Research conducted by George Home /Asda in 2017 showed just 7 percent of teens had posters on their walls compared to 78 percent in the 1990s, largely due to the“plain walls and fairy lights aesthetic (美学)” favoured by You Tubers and influencers. The experimental teenage bedrooms of Gen X and Millennials are gone, now bypassing the stage entirely and transforming straight into a more adult space.
It’s sad to think young people are missing something that played such a big part of youth culture, but times have moved on. And if the love of all things old-fashioned continues to be influenced by shows such as Stranger Things, perhaps the poster will enjoy are birth in popularity, who knows As someone who found so much joy in the posters that decorated their walls, I really do hope so.
8. Why do teenagers prefer posters according to the author
A. They causeless embarrassment to teenagers. B. They are topics to share with others.
C. They help reduce the pressures of school. D. They are symbols of freedom and personality.
9. Which can best replace the underlined word “transience” in paragraph 2
A. Being necessary. B. Being temporary.
C. Being contradictory. D. Being voluntary.
10. What can be inferred from the research in 2017
A. Aesthetic is unpopular among adolescents.
B. Some social media is to blame for strange aesthetic.
C. The love for posters has dropped dramatically recently.
D. The experimental model in teenage bedrooms are unreliable.
11. What does the author hope for in the last paragraph
A The poster will be popular again. B. The poster will be updated constantly.
C. The poster will not decorate walls anymore. D. The poster will not be influenced by popular shows.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。随着海报在当今青少年中的流行程度下降，作者对这种标志性的装饰进行了反思。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The simplest argument is that it allows children and teens to match their bedroom to their personality. Adolescence is a time when we long for independence and a voice, and posters allow that freedom.(最简单的理由是，它允许儿童和青少年将他们的卧室与他们的个性相匹配。青春期是我们渴望独立和发声的时期，而海报允许这种自由)”可知，青少年喜欢海报是因为他们觉得这是自由和个性的象征。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Buying magazines with pin-ups of your favourite celebrities is a more affordable and less time-consuming alternative to decorating a bedroom and, once a fashion passes, posters can easily be taken down.(比起装饰卧室，购买印有你最喜欢的明星海报的杂志是一种更实惠、更省时的选择，而且一旦流行过去，海报很容易就能拿下来)”可知，比起装饰卧室，购买印有你最喜欢的明星海报的杂志是一种更实惠、更省时的选择，而且一旦流行过去，海报很容易就能拿下来，所以海报作为装饰的第一次尝试的另一个优势是它们的短暂性。故画线词意思是“短暂的”。故选B。
10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Research conducted by George Home /Asda in 2017 showed just 7 percent of teens had posters on their walls compared to 78 percent in the 1990s, largely due to the “plain walls and fairy lights aesthetic (美学)” favoured by YouTubers and influencers.( George Home /Asda在2017年进行的研究显示，只有7%的青少年在墙上贴海报，而在20世纪90年代，这一比例为78%，这主要是由于博主和网红青睐的“朴素的墙壁和梦幻般的灯光美学”)”可推断，海报在当今青少年中的流行度急剧下降。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Things, perhaps the poster will enjoy are birth in popularity, who knows As someone who found so much joy in the posters that decorated their walls, I really do hope so.(事情，也许海报上的享受会诞生在流行之中，谁知道呢？作为一个从装饰墙壁的海报中找到如此多乐趣的人，我真的希望如此)”可知，作者希望这种海报重新流行起来。故选A。
D
Recently, the Norwegian island of Sommary announced that it was getting rid of time to become the world’s first time-free zone. It sounded extremely pleasant—to leave the clock behind and do what you wanted whenever you wanted to. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to be a clever strategy to attract public attention by Norway’s tourism agency rather than the real deal. But it raises a fundamental question—can we live totally without time
“From a consciousness viewpoint we simply can’t lose our awareness of time, as it’s closely connected to our sense of self,” explains German psychologist Marc Wittmann. “Many cells in our body possess their own autonomous clock. If those clocks get out of sync (不同步), however, it could cause problems.” Canadian scientist Holly Andersen agrees, believing it’s not possible to have conscious experience without the passage of time. Think about how your personal identity is built over time and filed away as memories. “These memories make up who you are over time,” says Andersen.
While we can’t give up the concept of the passage of time at such fundamental levels, day in day out forcing our bodies to stick to an abstract concept of time that ignores natural rhythms may lead to physical problems. A typical example is Daylight Saving Time (DST)—where we move clock time one hour forward relative to the cycle of daylight. There are a number of studies suggesting that switching to DST disturbs our internal body clocks, leading to less sleep, worse performance in tests and learning issues.
The clock, it seems, isn’t always good for us. So, how can we live in a world ruled by clock time “Giving yourself permission to do something without any time limit can help restore some of your body’s normal rhythms. If possible, wake up naturally or go for a walk until you feel you’re done. You don’t have to have a life where you meditate (冥想) for ten hours a day,” says Andersen. “But letting go of time restrictions on your actions for a twenty-minute period can be very healthy.”
12. What can we say about Sommargy’s announcement
A. It failed to draw public attention. B. It was just a marketing trick.
C. It was a rather practical policy. D. It caused too many problems.
13. What do both Wittmann and Andersen agree with
A. Many people tend to save time in unhealthy ways.
B. It is difficult to accurately sense the passage of time.
C. Your sense of self has little to do with your memories.
D. It is impossible for us to live without the sense of time.
14. Why does the author mention the studies in paragraph 3
A. To show how our body clocks actually work.
B. To explain why DST helps improve efficiency.
C. To prove clock time’s potential harm to our health.
D. To deny the link between body clocks and clock time.
15. What does Andersen advise us to do
A. Exercise for twenty minutes every day. B. Try to do things outside the clock’s control.
C. Find effective ways to make use of our time. D. Meditate more to restore our body’s rhythms.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了专家指出我们不可能没有时间感而生活，指出了时钟时间对我们健康的潜在危害，以及专家建议我们试着在时钟的控制之外做一些事情。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, the Norwegian island of Sommary announced that it was getting rid of time to become the world’s first time-free zone. It sounded extremely pleasant—to leave the clock behind and do what you wanted whenever you wanted to. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to be a clever strategy to attract public attention by Norway’s tourism agency rather than the real deal.(最近，挪威Sommary岛宣布将废除时间，成为世界上第一个无时间区。把时钟抛在脑后，想做什么就做什么，这听起来非常令人愉快。不幸的是，这个想法被证明是挪威旅游局吸引公众注意力的聪明策略，而不是真正的交易)”可知，Sommary的声明只是一种营销手段。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““From a consciousness viewpoint we simply can’t lose our awareness of time, as it’s closely connected to our sense of self,” explains German psychologist Marc Wittmann. “Many cells in our body possess their own autonomous clock. If those clocks get out of sync (不同步), however, it could cause problems.” Canadian scientist Holly Andersen agrees, believing it’s not possible to have conscious experience without the passage of time.( 德国心理学家Marc Wittmann解释说：“从意识的角度来看，我们不能失去对时间的意识，因为它与我们的自我意识密切相关。我们体内的许多细胞都有自己的自主时钟。然而，如果这些时钟不同步，就会引发问题。”加拿大科学家Holly Andersen对此表示赞同，她认为没有时间的流逝就不可能有有意识的体验。)”可知，Wittmann和Andersen都认为我们不可能没有时间感而生活。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“There are a number of studies suggesting that switching to DST disturbs our internal body clocks, leading to less sleep, worse performance in tests and learning issues.(有许多研究表明，切换到夏令时会扰乱我们的内部生物钟，导致睡眠减少，考试成绩下降和学习问题)”可推知，作者在第3段提到了这些研究是为了证明时钟时间对我们健康的潜在危害。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Giving yourself permission to do something without any time limit can help restore some of your body’s normal rhythms. If possible, wake up naturally or go for a walk until you feel you’re done. You don’t have to have a life where you meditate (冥想) for ten hours a day(允许自己在没有时间限制的情况下做一些事情可以帮助你恢复身体的正常节奏。如果可能的话，自然地醒来，或者出去走走，直到你觉得你已经完成了。你不必过着每天冥想10个小时的生活)”可知，Andersen建议我们试着在时钟的控制之外做一些事情。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中的两项为多余选项。
Humans have long tried to conquer water. We’ve straightened once-winding rivers for shipping purposes. We’ve erected entire cities on wetlands. We’ve built dams on rivers to store water for later use. _____16_____ But it’s not, argues environmental journalist Erica Gies, author of Water Always Wins.
Straightened streams move faster than winding ones, giving water less time to flow downward. _____17_____ Dams starve downstream areas of sediment (沉积物) needed to protect coasts against rising seas. And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.
In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control, Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems. She introduces “water detectives”—scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many others. _____18_____
They have found ways to give water the time and space it needs to flow slowly underground. Around Seattle’s Thornton Creek, for instance, reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding, which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban oasis.
_____19_____ Scientists in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage, which don’t require dams, in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima—Peru’s populous capital that’s periodically affected by water shortage. The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try something new.
Understanding how to work with, not against, water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that’s being worsened by climate change. _____20_____ Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.
A. They believe more efforts should be made to control water.
B. These techniques pave the way for the construction of dams.
C. Controlling water, Gies convincingly argues, is a false belief.
D. Cities on former wetlands flood regularly—often disastrously.
E. Instead of trying to control water, they ask: What does water want
F. It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it.
G. While some people explore new ways, others lean on ancient knowledge.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类长期以来一直试图征服水，但是水无法被征服，只能加以利用。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Humans have long tried to conquer water. We’ve straightened once-winding rivers for shipping purposes. We’ve erected entire cities on wetlands. We’ve built dams on rivers to store water for later use.(人类长期以来一直试图征服水。为了航运的目的，我们把曾经蜿蜒的河流拉直了。我们在湿地上建起了整座城市。我们在河上筑坝蓄水以备后用)”可知，上文的例子表明水愿意接受人类的指引，被人类所利用。故F选项“看来水是很合作的，愿意向我们指引的方向流动”符合语境，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Straightened streams move faster than winding ones, giving water less time to flow downward.(笔直的河流比蜿蜒的河流流得快，水向下流动的时间更少)”以及后文“Dams starve downstream areas of sediment (沉积物) needed to protect coasts against rising seas. And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.(大坝使下游地区失去了用来保护海岸免受海平面上升影响的沉积物。它们冲走了河床生态系统)”可知，下文提到大坝冲走了河床生态系统，可推测引发了洪水，故D选项“以前的湿地上的城市经常发生洪水——通常是灾难性的”符合语境，承上启下。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control, Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems. She introduces “water detectives”—scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many others.(除了列出所谓的治水所造成的破坏之外，吉斯还带读者踏上了一趟充满希望的全球之旅，寻找解决这些问题的办法。她介绍了“水侦探”——科学家、工程师、城市规划师和其他许多人)”可知，本句应承接上文说明这些水侦探的作用。E选项中they指代上文scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many others。故E选项“他们不是试图控制水，而是问：水想要什么？”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Scientists in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage, which don’t require dams, in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima—Peru’s populous capital that’s periodically affected by water shortage. The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try something new.(秘鲁的科学家们现在正在研究不需要水坝的老式蓄水方法，希望能确保水稳定地流向利马——秘鲁人口众多的首都，这个城市经常受到水资源短缺的影响。这项研究可能有助于说服那些喜欢以混凝土为中心的解决方案的人尝试一些新的东西)”可知，后文提到了老式蓄水方法，即依靠古老的知识解决问题。故G选项“当一些人探索新的方法时，另一些人依靠古老的知识”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.(相反，我们必须学会用水，因为水无疑会赢)”可知，后文提到了应该学会用水，而不是控制。故C选项“吉斯令人信服地指出，控制水是一种错误的信念”符合语境，承接上文“Understanding how to work with, not against, water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that’s being worsened by climate change. (了解如何与水合作，而不是与水对抗，将有助于人类度过这个因气候变化而恶化的干旱和洪水时代。)”，说明要与水合作而不是控制水。故选C。

第四部分 写作（满分25分）
71. 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。
Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now ” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money ” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式作答。
First, he made advertisements.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the hearing aid in her ear.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】续写范文：
First, he made advertisements. Then, he put them up in the neighborhood. Attracted, some parents invited him home. After an interview, they were content with Andy’s teaching ability and hired him. Thus, Andy’s schedule became so tight that he often didn’t get home until dinnertime. Andy kept it a secret from his mom. Finally, he was amazed he earned enough money. He immediately bought a hearing aid for his mother and studied the instructions.
One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly. Andy put the hearing aid in her ear. Mary awakened to the sounds of birds’ singing and car horns. “Morning, Mom,” Andy said. Mary turned, finding Andy was sitting nearby, smiling. “Is there a hearing aid ” she asked in disbelief. Andy nodded and asked, “How does it feel ” Mary replied that it was incredible, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was relieved that her son loved her so much.

For a teenager whose chances of survival were slim when he was born just making it to the starting line at the Olympics is a miraculous achievement in itself.
William Flaherty was born in Cincinnati. When he was 3, he was diagnosed with HLH. It is an often-fatal disease where the immune system attacks the body’s organs. There were days when they didn’t know if he would live through. The 17-year-old Flaherty has had more than 30 operations in his life, including a bone-marrow transplant from his older brother Charles in 2008.
At five, William skied for the first time. It helped a lot with low bone density and got him back in good shape. One year later, William moved to Puerto Rico and fell in love with the island. Puerto Rico doesn’t have snow and balancing the island and skiing life was tough. During the first few years a lot of it was pushed by his father and older brother Charles—himself a former Olympic skier. Motivated by his older brother, William wanted to give it a try himself. When he brought up to represent Puerto Rico in Alpine skiing, his friends laughed. However, he didn’t let it hold him back.
As a teenager, Flaherty had to balance his training with medical appointments and going to school. Even a cold could lay him up for two weeks, so William took extra pre-cautions over the last two years. While training, he wore an N95 mask the whole time and couldn’t ride the lift with anyone. After training, he came home directly, hid in his bedroom and stayed away from people. He managed to maintain straight A’s despite having to study on chairlifts and do final exams sometimes only days before racing. He had his English final three days before he left for Beijing.

When it comes to home decoration, one of the first opportunities we get to express ourselves is by choosing which posters to tear out of magazines and stick on our teenage bedroom walls. So why was the humble poster so popular The simplest argument is that it allows children and teens to match their bedroom to their personality. Adolescence is a time when we long for independence and a voice, and posters allow that freedom. This is particularly important at a time when the bedroom is an important space away from the pressures of school, annoying brothers or sisters and parents who seem to go out of their way to cause embarrassment.
Another advantage of posters as a first attempt into decoration is their transience. Buying magazines with pin-ups of your favourite celebrities is a more affordable and less time-consuming alternative to decorating a bedroom and, once a fashion passes, posters can easily be taken down.
My own walls were covered with posters from a young age. At the risk of sounding strange, swapping my posters around was a hobby during my teenage years. I’d commit hours to rearranging them on my wall, ensuring every inch was covered.
Research conducted by George Home /Asda in 2017 showed just 7 percent of teens had posters on their walls compared to 78 percent in the 1990s, largely due to the“plain walls and fairy lights aesthetic (美学)” favoured by You Tubers and influencers. The experimental teenage bedrooms of Gen X and Millennials are gone, now bypassing the stage entirely and transforming straight into a more adult space.
It’s sad to think young people are missing something that played such a big part of youth culture, but times have moved on. And if the love of all things old-fashioned continues to be influenced by shows such as Stranger Things, perhaps the poster will enjoy are birth in popularity, who knows As someone who found so much joy in the posters that decorated their walls, I really do hope so.
8. Why do teenagers prefer posters according to the author
A They causeless embarrassment to teenagers. B. They are topics to share with others.
C. They help reduce the pressures of school. D. They are symbols of freedom and personality.
9. Which can best replace the underlined word “transience” in paragraph 2
A. Being necessary. B. Being temporary.
C. Being contradictory. D. Being voluntary.
10. What can be inferred from the research in 2017
A. Aesthetic is unpopular among adolescents.
B. Some social media is to blame for strange aesthetic.
C. The love for posters has dropped dramatically recently.
D. The experimental model in teenage bedrooms are unreliable.
11. What does the author hope for in the last paragraph
A. The poster will be popular again. B. The poster will be updated constantly.
C. The poster will not decorate walls anymore. D. The poster will not be influenced by popular shows.
D
Recently, the Norwegian island of Sommary announced that it was getting rid of time to become the world’s first time-free zone. It sounded extremely pleasant—to leave the clock behind and do what you wanted whenever you wanted to. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to be a clever strategy to attract public attention by Norway’s tourism agency rather than the real deal. But it raises a fundamental question—can we live totally without time
“From a consciousness viewpoint we simply can’t lose our awareness of time, as it’s closely connected to our sense of self,” explains German psychologist Marc Wittmann. “Many cells in our body possess their own autonomous clock. If those clocks get out of sync (不同步), however, it could cause problems.” Canadian scientist Holly Andersen agrees, believing it’s not possible to have conscious experience without the passage of time. Think about how your personal identity is built over time and filed away as memories. “These memories make up who you are over time,” says Andersen.
While we can’t give up the concept of the passage of time at such fundamental levels, day in day out forcing our bodies to stick to an abstract concept of time that ignores natural rhythms may lead to physical problems. A typical example is Daylight Saving Time (DST)—where we move clock time one hour forward relative to the cycle of daylight. There are a number of studies suggesting that switching to DST disturbs our internal body clocks, leading to less sleep, worse performance in tests and learning issues.
The clock, it seems, isn’t always good for us. So, how can we live in a world ruled by clock time “Giving yourself permission to do something without any time limit can help restore some of your body’s normal rhythms. If possible, wake up naturally or go for a walk until you feel you’re done. You don’t have to have a life where you meditate (冥想) for ten hours a day,” says Andersen. “But letting go of time restrictions on your actions for a twenty-minute period can be very healthy.”
12. What can we say about Sommargy’s announcement
A. It failed to draw public attention. B. It was just a marketing trick.
C. It was a rather practical policy. D. It caused too many problems.
13. What do both Wittmann and Andersen agree with
A. Many people tend to save time in unhealthy ways.
B. It is difficult to accurately sense the passage of time.
C. Your sense of self has little to do with your memories.
D. It is impossible for us to live without the sense of time.
14. Why does the author mention the studies in paragraph 3
A. To show how our body clocks actually work.
B. To explain why DST helps improve efficiency.
C. To prove clock time’s potential harm to our health.
D. To deny the link between body clocks and clock time.
15. What does Andersen advise us to do
A. Exercise for twenty minutes every day. B. Try to do things outside the clock’s control.
C. Find effective ways to make use of our time. D. Meditate more to restore our body’s rhythms.

Humans have long tried to conquer water. We’ve straightened once-winding rivers for shipping purposes. We’ve erected entire cities on wetlands. We’ve built dams on rivers to store water for later use. _____16_____ But it’s not, argues environmental journalist Erica Gies, author of Water Always Wins.
Straightened streams move faster than winding ones, giving water less time to flow downward. _____17_____ Dams starve downstream areas of sediment (沉积物) needed to protect coasts against rising seas. And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.
In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control, Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems. She introduces “water detectives”—scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many others. _____18_____
They have found ways to give water the time and space it needs to flow slowly underground. Around Seattle’s Thornton Creek, for instance, reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding, which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban oasis.
_____19_____ Scientists in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage, which don’t require dams, in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima—Peru’s populous capital that’s periodically affected by water shortage. The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try something new.
Understanding how to work with, not against, water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that’s being worsened by climate change. _____20_____ Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.
A. They believe more efforts should be made to control water.
B. These techniques pave the way for the construction of dams.
C. Controlling water, Gies convincingly argues, is a false belief.
D. Cities on former wetlands flood regularly—often disastrously.
E. Instead of trying to control water, they ask: What does water want
F. It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it.
G. While some people explore new ways, others lean on ancient knowledge.

71. 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。
Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now ” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money ” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.

2．请按如下格式作答。
