9.As you get older,it feels like time tends to move faster.As Dan Ariely explains over at The Wall Street Journal,we tend to fall into familiar routines (25)as/when we age and that makes time move quickly.
We perceive time as something like a stack of memories,so the less new experiences you have,the (26)less likely(likely) you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.
Time does go by (or,more accurately,it feels as if time is going by) more quickly,the older we get.
In the first few years of our lives,anything we sense or do is brand new,and many of our experiences are unique,so they remain firmly in our memories.But as (27)the years go by,we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences-both because we (28)have accomplished(accomplish) a lot and because we are slaves to our daily routines.
For example,try to remember (29)what happened to you every day last week,chances are that nothing extraordinary happened,so you will be hard-pressed to recall the specific things you did on Monday,Tuesday,etc.
What can we do about this?Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences,point out things we've never done,recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been.Such an app (30)could/canmake our lives more varied,encourage us to try new things,slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.
(31)until/if such an app arrives,try to do at least one new thing every week.It's not too difficult to push (32)yourself/yourselves/ourselves to do new things.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了当我们变老的时候,时间就变得很快,因此我们应该尝试每周至少做一件新的事情.

解答 25.as/when.考查推理判断.句意为:"我们的岁数越是增长,生活就越倾向于一成不变.所以,时间过得更快了."这是as/when引导的状语从句,故答案为as/when.
26.less likely.考查推理判断. 根据语境可知句意应为:"所以新鲜的经历越少,你就越不可能在那些回忆中填满有趣的事情."故答案为less likely.
27.the.考查推理判断.句意为:"但是随着时间的流逝,我们能遇到的全新经历越来越少了."as the years go by意为"随着时间的流逝",故答案为the.
28.have accomplished.考查推理判断.句意为:"这是由于我们不仅已经完成了许多事情,而且已经习惯于像奴隶般遵守自己的生活习惯.",根据语境可知这里应用现在完成时态,故答案为have accomplished.
 29.what.考查推理判断.句意为:"请你努力回想一下上周每天你都做了些什么事情."这是what引导的宾语从句,故答案为what.
30.could/can.考查推理判断.句意为:"这样的应用可以让我们的生活更加丰富",故答案为could/can.
31.until/if.考查推理判断.句意为:"在这种应用被发明出来以前(如果这种应用发明了),每周至少尝试一件新的事物吧."所以根据语境这里应填until/if.
32.yourself/yourselves/ourselves.考查推理判断.句意为:"逼自己去尝试新事物并不是一件非常困难的事情."push oneself to do sth意为"逼自己做某事".故答案为yourself/yourselves/ourselves.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.

9.Danny's Courage
Danny came to my school in seventh grade.He was handsome and smart.I fell for him at once and so were many girls.That,(36)A,soon changed.
Danny had been in our school for about a week when his parents picked him up in a/an(37)
D car that made loud noise.Obviously that Danny was poor and he was no longer (38)B material.
I had a poor family too; I just (39)C it from everyone.I was so ashamed of my situation that I never had kids come over to my house.I felt like my friends would judge me if they knew the truth.It was a lot of work keeping my (40)B,but I figured it was easier than it would be to have no friends.
One day,our teacher,Mr.Sims,announced that the seventh-grade field trip would be to an amusement park.The classroom was filled with (41)C as the girls discussed what to wear and what to bring with them.I felt(42)D.But not Danny.He simply told everyone that he wouldn't be going.When asked why,Danny stood up and stated,"I can't(43)A it.My dad hurt his back and has been out of (44)B.I'm not asking my parents for money."
Sitting back in his seat,Danny held his head up (45)C,even though whispering had begun."Dan,I'm very proud of you for(46)A the situation that your parents are in.Not every student can do that."replied Mr.Sims.Glaring at us,he spoke again,only louder.
"We're going to do things differently.The trip is not until the end of the month,so we have plenty of time (47)D fund-raising.Each student will be responsible for bringing in an idea for fund-raising.Bring them in tomorrow.If a student doesn't want to(48)B,he or she will be spending the field trip day here at the school.Any questions?"
While walking home,I(49)C some boys talking with Danny.I worried that they were giving him a(50)D time,but as I got closer,I realized they were just (51)A about the best ideas for a fund-raiser.
In order to (52)D in the class,I lied and came up with excuse after excuse.But Danny made a(53)A in my life by standing up and admitting he was poor.I no longer felt I had to (54)B.And the funny thing was that my friends stuck by me when I finally let them get closer.
Danny,because of his courage and(55)C rather than his great looks,is someone I will never forget.

4.Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!
When I was a senior in high school,I (36)C knew I wanted to pursue writing as a career.
Writing had basically(37)Dme when I was only 7years old,(38)Dsince that time,I'd been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all (39)A me to have"a back-up plan"in case writing didn't work out.
I'd never even (40)Ca different career path,so I was very (41)B and worried.After much thought,I decided (42)B would be my"back-up plan,"and I signed up for a class through my high school.
This (43)A that every morning,I would serve as a teacher's helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher,Mr.Ralston.Morning after morning,I showed up in Mr.Ralston's classroom and(44)C papers for him.
Sometimes,I even (45)D a lesson or two.It was fun,and the students seemed to like me,so I was surprised when it came time for my (46)B.Mr.Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked,"Do you really want to teach?"
"Had I really been that (47)A?"I thought.
"Don't misunderstand.You'll do fine in teaching,"he continued."But,is your(48)C really in it?"
"Not really,"I (49)C."I want to write.I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much more…but I've been told it's tough to make it as a writer (50)D I thought maybe I would teach and then use my summers(51)D to pursue writing."
As I shared with Mr.Ralston my hopes,dreams and carefully plotted-out back-up plan,he smiled and said,"Why are you preparing to (52)A with this back-up plan?If you want to be a writer,go for it!Pursue writing!"
Mr.Ralston's (53)A to follow my dreams was the little nudge I needed to help me push past my (54)B of not making it as a writer and simply"Go for it!"
That's what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in (55)Cseason.So,let's try and be like Mr.Ralston and speak that word of encouragement at just the right time and make a difference in someone's life today.

14.[1]Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good,it is strange that so few people write them anymore.At work,a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective.It costs little and has no side effects.ne effort involved in writing letters is very low.The pleasure on receiving them is very high.This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
[2]Doug Conant,manager of Campbell's Soup Company since 2001,knows the power of thank-you letters.He said that every day he works with an assistant,combing the company for people deserving thanks.He then writes them a thank-you letter.Over the past 10years he has sent 30,000thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10each day.The reward is huge:his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
[3]But if these letters are so uplifting,why don't more managers write them?
There seem __________.Firstly6,chief executives running compa-nies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don't write any themselves.Secondly,they aren't close e-nough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly,they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
[4]In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead,sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most power-ful and rewarding.You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you.Always remember to"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!"

76.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It is not at all difficult to write letters.The effort involved in writing letters is very low.
77.What's the purpose of Paragraph 2?(no more than 15words)To give an example showing how effective thank-you letters are./To provide an example to show thank-you letters are effective./To give an example to support the main idea.
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3with proper words.(no more than 5words)to be three reasons
79.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3into Chinese.第三,他们忘记了这样一个奇怪的人性真理:为了回报寥寥数语的感谢,几乎每个人都愿做几乎任何事./第三,他们忘了这样一个奇特而真实的人性特点:几句感谢的话,便可换来对方不遗余力的倾情付出.
80.What's the main idea of this passage?(no more than 15words)Handwritten thank-you letters are an excellent way to reward and motivate people./Handwritten thank-you letters are very important..
1.A popular saying goes,"Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me."However,that's not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes.We're usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.In fact,we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This"self-talk"helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive,we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to  give ourselves a pat on the back.The next time you finish a project,do well in a test,or finally clean your room,join me in saying"Good job!"
Often,words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking,we should always go through a"ask-yourself"test:Is it true?Is it loving?Is it needed?If what we want to say doesn't pass this test,then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS.)

81.As to the power of words,the author believes they can eitherbuild us/people up or tear us/people down/be positive or negative/hurt or heal/encourage or discourage us/people.
82.People should only speak words of encouragement to themselves tostay positive.
83.What does the underlined part"give ourselves a pat on the back"mean?encourage/praise ourselves
84.What should we do if the"ask-yourself test"is not passed?We'd better leave the words unsaid..
18.阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的字数要求).
[1]It's a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood.You want to protect but not treat too kindly,advise but not control and let them live their own lives-with some input,of course.
[2]When your child asks for help or advice,give only what was asked for.If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot(绳结)for a project she is working on,just tie the knot.Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.She wants to do it herself,in her own way.Before                 which your child has not askd for,count to ten.Perhaps in those seconds you'll decide that the advice would do no good,or isn't really that important,and you'll drop it.If the advice still seems important,you will give it,but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way.
[3]Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you.We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves,or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves.We need to help them to be them,not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good.
[4]Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop.For example,one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood.
76.What's the best title of this text?(no more than 10 words)
Teach Children Wisely and Well/Guide Kids Into Adulthood Wisely                                                                   
77.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It's not your duty to help her finish the whole thing or give her advice on the way of doing it.
Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.                                                                              
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 5  words)
offering help or advice/you offer help or advice                                                                             
79.Make a list of three mistakes that we parents usually make in guiding the kids.(no more than 24 words)
(1)shaping the kids into our copies
(2)thinking of the kids as our extensions
(3)trying to turn the kids into us
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.我们对子女的首要责任不是耳提面命地告诉他们如何行事,而是为他们的发展提供一个健康的环境.
