【题目】Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

【1】But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

★Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m. try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.【2】

★Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 【3】If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

★Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.【4】

★【5】

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】E

【3】G

【4】F

【5】A

【解析】本文介绍了节省时间的几种方法。主要是从早起、先完成最重要的任务、少中断以及专注于工作，这样可以在日常生活中节省出更多的时间。

【1】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。从空后面But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter可知，这儿与前一句是转折关系，故这里选D（我不能使用魔法使你的一天变成25小时。）符合语境。

【2】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。从空前面看to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish，正好与这儿的E项（或者放一天假来做一个有组织的、平静的开始。）相连接，故选E。

【3】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：一旦你做工作，先做重要的（不是最简单的或者最紧急的）。空后的意思是：如果你这样做的话，你就会节约时间。故选G（这样你就可以花一个小时的时间在重大的问题上而不是在一些小的事情上。）承上启下。

【4】F 考查对上下文语境的理解。从空前面看是进行事例的说明，选项中只有F（不断的中断不仅能花掉你的时间，而且还会打破你的注意力。）项符合。

【5】A 考查对上下文语境的理解。根据下文主要说专注于工作，故选A（专注于你的工作。）正确。

【题目】The Metro-Boston public bike share system, Hubway, is now available at a significant discount to low-income people. "SNAP Card to Ride" was started by the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and the Town Of Brookline.

“SNAP Card to Ride”provides $5 monthly memberships and $50 annual memberships to people over the age of 16 with their household EBT (电子福利转账) card. The membership includes unlimited 60-minute trips, rather than the present 30-minute trips, without additional fees.

The program is part of an ongoing commitment to improving bike share access among traditionally underserved populations. Those who don't receive SNAP benefits but participate in other public assistance programs will be able to gain access to the discounted membership program in the near future.

Convenient, easy online registration (注册) is available for EBT card holders at thehubwav.com/SNAP/. After completing registration, members will have access to over 1,800 bikes at 194'stations across the four municipalities (自治市). Members with smartphone access can also use the Hubway mobile app to locate and unlock bikes.

“The city of Boston is pleased to be part of the SNAP Card to Ride partnership, and we look forward to increasing the number of stations and bikes in Boston over the next 18 months,”said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

“Hubway shows that bike share is fulfilling its promise as a vital part of the Boston area's transportation network -- increasing access to the area's existing transportation network as well as areas underserved by public transportation,”said Jay H. Walder, CEO of Hubway.“We're eager to continue to help grow a system that has truly served as an inspiration for a whole generation of bike share programs across the nation.”

Winter riding is available in all four municipalities for the first time this year, following several years of winter operations in the city of Cambridge. Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville announced major expansion of the publicly-owned system. In all they'll add over 100 new stations in 2018 and 2019, providing over 300 stations and approximately 3,000 bicycles for public use.

【1】Who can enjoy the "SNAP Card to Ride" program now?

A. Anyone with a low income.

B. Anyone benefiting from SNAP.

C. Anyone over sixteen with an EBT card.

D. Anyone joining public assistance programs.

【2】Why did Hubway start the new program?

A. To market their membership.

B. To help poor people out of poverty.

C. To let more people benefit from bike share.

D. To make public transportation more complete.

【3】What has to be done in order to enjoy "SNAP Card to Ride"?

A. paying for their mobile app. B. . Completing registration online.

C. Filling in an application form. D. Sending an email to Hubway.

【4】What can we infer about the bike share system in the four municipalities?

【题目】University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.

These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.

“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”

I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.

People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”

Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”

You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.

【1】The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.

A. are important for him and others like Caty

B. have the power to make students learn more

C. are frequently used by many university students

D. should be used by all of the students in universities

【2】The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”

A. avoiding B. choosing

C. using D. adding

【3】Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?

A. She hates to share everything with others.

B. She hopes her personal information is safe.

C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.

D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.

【4】What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?

A. She is completely against them. B. She herself refuses to use them.

C. She is completely for them. D. She is objective.

【题目】 Though sometimes we may lose our ability to do something we love, passions don’t have to end. Suzelle Poole of Dallas, Texas is living proof of that. The 79-year-old has been dancing for more than seven decades.

Suzelle started ballet when she was just 7 years old, and her devotion only grew stronger as her talent increased in the following years. In fact, Suzelle was so talented that she went to perform all around the world! Like most professional ballerinas (芭蕾舞女），Suzelle expected a short-lived career. “When I was about 26,1 knew I only had a few years left,”she said. It’s simply the nature of the art form because the movements are so hard on people’s bodies. But Suzelle’s body didn’t wear out at 26 — or even 56! At one point, she broke her arm but she was dancing again by the following week.

Nowadays she focuses on teaching the next generation of ballerinas at the Royale Ballet Dance Academy, where she and her students regularly perform for senior residents in assisted living facilities.

Suzelle has become such an inspiration that CBS News reporter Steve Hartman and his 5-year-old daughter Meryl recently traveled to Dallas to interview her. Steve’s little girl couldn’t wait to meet and dance with the woman she wants to become.

During the interview, Suzelle shared a piece of wisdom: “Ballet helps everything,” she said. “If you’re not feeling very well, you go to a ballet class, and you feel better after.” Meryl nodded knowingly. She also added, “Ballet could always cheer me up whenever I feel depressed.”

It’s no wonder Suzelle has no plans to hang up her pointed shoes. Why would she give up something that brings her so much joy?

【1】Why did Suzelle at her 26 think her career would end soon?

A.The nature of the body didn’t allow lasting performance.

B.The audience didn’t like her performance.

C.She injured her arm in a training course.

D.She had to look after her family.

【2】Why did Steve Hartman take his daughter Meryl to meet Suzelle?

A.To help Meryl with her problems.

B.To make Meryl experience a reporter’s work.

C.To inspire Meryl to pursue her dancing dream.

D.To realise Meryl’s dream of dancing with famous people.

【3】In Suzelle’s opinion, ballet dance ___________.

A.benefits people’s mental health

B.should be taught at primary school

C.is less attractive to the young

D.raises people’s interest in art

【4】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Suzelle will go to find other joy of life.

B.Suzelle will carry on her ballet career.

C.Suzelle will put away her ballet shoes.

D.Suzelle will devote herself to art teaching.

【题目】 One very cold November morning William, who was a 20-year-old college student then, climbed on the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London. That morning, William escaped from a mental health hospital, where he'd been diagnosed(诊断) with schizo-affective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, convinced that his disease was a life sentence.

Hundreds of people passed by without stopping. Only one man called David, then 25, calmly and quietly walked to William's side.

【题目】Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. 【1】 The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do，but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. 【2】 Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely set of attitudes.

Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright，or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, unite himself with it. 【3】 On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. 【4】 The dull child is usually afraid to try at all, It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once； if that try fails, he is through.

A. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life.

B. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another.

C. He takes it for granted that he is the most intelligent guy in the world.

D. He continues his pursuit until he finally succeeds.

E. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations.

F. There is no wall between himself and life.
