这篇短文告诉我们时间是非常宝贵的,我们不能浪费时间,而是应该珍惜时间,并且合理、充分地使用时间,活在当下。

1句意:然而我们大多数人直到太晚了才意识到时间的宝贵。remind提醒,使想起;realize意识到;review复习,回顾;research研究。根据句意和下文It is only when we get___6___that we begin to realize that time is a precious treasure.可知,这里表示“意识到时间的宝贵”,故应选B

2句意:我们不去计算一天中的每一秒、每一分钟、每一小时,因为我们知道明天会带来更多。tomorrow 明天;success成功;ability能力;knowledge知识。根据句意和空后will bring more可知,带来更多时间的是明天,故应选A

3句意:我们有如此多的时间,以至于我们觉得自己能够轻松地承担得起浪费时间的后果。agree同意;avoid避免;afford负担得起;advise建议。根据句意We have so much time….to waste some of it可知,这里表示“我们认为自己能承担浪费时间的后果”,故应选C

4句意:想想这些常见的英语表达:“浪费时间”、“填满时间”、“消磨时间”。expressions表达;instructions指导,说明;suggestions建议;introductions介绍。根据空后"wasting time. ""filling in time” or even "killing time"可知,这里列举的是与time有关的英语表达,故应选A

5句意:我们对时间多么的不尊重。few几乎没有,修饰可数名词;little少,几乎没有,修饰不可数名词;a few一些,几个;a little一点儿。根据上文"wasting time. ""filling in time” or even "killing time"可知,人们对时间是不尊重的,这里表示否定的意思,先排除CD。空后respect是不可数名词,故应选B

6句意:只有当我们变老的时候,我们才意识到时间是宝贵的财富。older更老的;stronger更强壮的;elder更年长的;higher更高的。上文When we are young, we feel that we will never run out of time.提到,“我们年轻的时候,总是感觉时间用不完”,这里应对应说“我们老的时候,才意识到时间的宝贵”,故应选A

7句意:我们可能突然发现自己没有很好地投资我们的时间。Simply仅仅,只;Specially特殊地;Suddenly突然;Seriously严重地,严肃地。根据句意可知,这里表示“我们老的时候,突然意识到”,故选C

8句意:我们发现我们不再有足够的时间去做我们想做的事情了。at times有时候;any more不再,谓语动词应用否定形式,构成not …any moreat least至少;no longer不再。根据句意可知,这里表示“不再有足够的时间了”,修饰谓语动词have,故选D

9句意:正如成年人需要把钱花在税收和账单等不愉快的事情上一样,他们也必须把时间花在那些他们可能并不想做的事情上。unexpected出乎意料的;unpleasant令人不愉快的;unforgettable难忘的;unbelievable难以置信的。根据句中they also have to spend their time doing things that they might not really want to do“他们也把时间花在他们不想做的事情上”可知,这里应指的是“把钱花在令人不愉快的事情上”,故应选B

10句意:正如习语所说:“拖延就是浪费时间”。writes写;tells告诉;reads 读;says说。say可以表示“提供信息”,这里表示习语的内容,故应选D

a. Hi Josh! I think life will be great. People will live in‘smart houses’. A central computer will control the temperature, the lights, everything! These houses will be ecological and use solar energy and recycled water. A‘smart’mirror in the bathroomthat's right, it’s a mirror with a computer!will check your health. And guess what? Robots will cook and do the housework.

And there will be electric buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting!

【题目】A few years ago national attention was fixed on a deep, dark cave in the mountains near where I live now. A team had entered the cave to do some research. Although every precaution had been taken to make it safe, one young man was separated from the team and lost in the depths of the cave.

For several days a rescue team worked around the clock, searching almost everywhere in the underground cave. With each passing hour chance of finding the young man inside the cave became smaller, and people had a lot of guesses. Perhaps he had simply run away. Or maybe he had stumbled out some other entrance and was now lost in the mountains. Or perhaps he was already... well, nobody wanted to say it. But everybody thought it. Everybody, that is, except the young man’s parents.

That wasn’t a choice in our opinion,” the young man’s mother said. “ Finally we would find him--safe and alive. We were certain of that.”

There was little reason to those who were familiar with the cave said it had been completely searched-several times. Common sense suggested that time was running out and that other choices needed to be considered--like when to say “enough”.

But like Kris Kringle says in his famous book A Miracle on 34th Street, “ Faith is believing in something even when common sense tells you not to do.” And the young man’s parents had faith. They wouldn’t give up, and they wouldn’t let anyone else give up, either. And sure enough, the young man was found--hungry, thirst and afraid, but healthy.

How did the young man manage to stay a live in the cave?

“ I ‘ve never stopped believing that someone would find me ,” said the young man.

1The young man got lost probably because___________.

A. he got separated from the teamB. he wanted to enter the cave alone

C. he did research in the cave aloneD. he had an important discovery

2What does the underlined word “ That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Staying inside the cave.B. Giving up searching.

C. Making more guesses.D. Looking for the man in the mountains.

3Which can be the best title for the text?

A. The Power of BelievingB. A Dangerous Cave

C. The Way to Stay Alive in a CaveD. Parents’ Love

4Why did the parents and the son think “he” can still be alive? Why can you learn from the story?
