【原文】Welcome, everyone, to this workshop on student housing. I’ll go through the information about types of housing available for the term and the application procedure. Then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.There are two main types of housing for you to choose from: student dorms and the international houses. As of now, there are some spaces available in each type, but they are filling up fast. You should get your application in as soon as possible. Let me explain some of the main features of each type of housing.The student dorms are for all students. We have men’s dorms and women’s dorms. All the rooms have two beds, two closets, and two desks. There are no cooking facilities in the dorms, but you can buy a meal ticket for the cafeteria.The international houses are groups of apartments for both foreign and local students. They are organized into language and culture themes, and some of them have rules about speaking only a certain language during meal times. It’s a good way for students to learn other cultures and languages. I think that the Spanish house is full, but there are rooms available in all the other houses.

If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.
I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later ” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi. Worry built while I cleaned the fish tank, slightly admiring the simple aquatic life.
Evie was a college student, living off campus with three roommates. They looked out for one another, all were smart and careful, and I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble. But maybe she’d had a spat with one of her friends or was running low on money. Maybe she was drowning in schoolwork. I imagined a million what-ifs. Weren’t cell phones made to put a parent’s mind at ease Evie was going to get a mouthful when she finally found a free minute to tell me that I didn’t need to worry.
I filled the aquarium with fresh water, and my impatience reached the top as well. The fish swam laps in the crystal-clear tank. I wished I were more like these peaceful angels living in the moment. Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed. “Sorry, Mom. Today was so busy and great!” I told her that was just what I had imagined. I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.
24. Why did the author become worried at the beginning
A Evie’s roommates treated her unkindly. B. Evie forgot to say hello to her as usual.
C. Something went wrong with her fish. D. She couldn’t reach Evie on the phone.
25. What does the underlined phrase “had a spat” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Chatted. B. Shopped. C. Quarreled. D. Played.
26. What do we know about Evie
A. She spent that Saturday with her friends. B. She lived with her classmates in the dorm.
C. She failed to ring back her mom in the end. D. She had trouble returning to school timely.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. A college student’s busy academic life. B. The importance of patience in daily life.
C. The author’s favorite word for 2022. D. A mother’s deep love for her daughter.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了周六，作者找不到女儿Evie，女儿不接电话，这让作者非常担心。但最后女儿打来电话报告行踪，作者却没有提到自己有多担心她。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later ” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi.(一个星期六，在我女儿Evie按下“我能晚点打给你吗？”自动回复，而不是接手机。两次。我在两个电话之间等了几个小时，那是在早上给她发短信问候之后)”可知，作者一开始会担心是因为她打电话找不到Evie。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble(我没有理由认为伊维真的遇到麻烦了)”以及后文“with one of her friends or was running low on money”可知，but表示转折，说明作者开始想象女儿和朋友发生了争吵，或者手头没钱了。故画线词意思是“争吵”。故选C。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed.( Evie那天深夜终于打来了电话。她在一个聚会上，但想在我睡觉前找到我)”可知，Evie和朋友一起度过了那个星期六。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.(如果你像我一样，耐心是一种美德，它不会不劳而获。这需要大量的练习，我花了一年的时间来追求。耐心是我2022年的用词。 也许你还在努力确定你的计划，我很想听听)”以及最后一段中“I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.(我没说我在练习一种全新的等待方式)”结合文章主要讲述了周六，作者找不到女儿Evie，女儿不接电话，这让作者非常担心。但最后女儿打来电话报告行踪，作者却没有提到自己有多担心她。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是母亲对女儿的深爱。故选D。
C
Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Eighty-six percent of the world’s population is literate(有读写能力的)，and this rate has been increasing for centuries. Literacy makes it possible to navigate a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs and more.
Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions.Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions aren’t perfect-the software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine a future world where all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken.
But reading and writing are powerful tools.For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator speaks at around150to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can cruise through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read as opposed to listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution of our species.” Would we really choose to give up that progress What do you think Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete(淘汰的)
28. What does the 2nd paragraph focus on
A. Technology makes up for illiteracy. B. Many people have problems with literacy.
C. Technology is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is changing fast.
pared to listening, what will a person do when reading
A. Gather more information. B. Remember less clearly.
C. Show less interest. D. Learn more words.
30. Why does the author mention Maryanne’s book
A. To give an example of a book on reading.
B. To show the evolution of human beings.
C. To prove that reading is related with brain.
D. To illustrate the need for reading and writing.
31. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A blog post.
C. A book review. D. An academic article.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了当今社会科技使人不读不写就能融入社会，但是读写能力仍然是最强大的认知工具。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands.(越来越多的人不读不写就能融入当今世界吗？科技使之成为可能。现在，我们的大多数设备都能与我们对话，并接受语音指令)”可知，本段主要介绍，由于智能科技设备的识别语音功能，没有读写识字能力的人也有可能融入社会生活。科技弥补了不识字这一缺陷。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator speaks at around150to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can cruise through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read as opposed to listen.(首先，大多数人读得比说得快。播客或有声书的解说员每分钟大约说150到160个单词，而阅读能力强的人每分钟可以读300到400个单词。这是原来的两倍!研究还发现，与听相比，人们在阅读时能记住更多信息，也更有兴趣)”可知，与听相比，在相等时间内，阅读能获取更多信息。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings ‘rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution of our species.’(玛丽安·沃尔夫在她的书《普鲁斯特和乌贼:阅读大脑的故事和科学》中写道，随着阅读的发明，人类“重新安排了我们大脑的组织，这反过来扩展了我们能够思考的方式，从而改变了我们物种的智力进化)”可知，Maryanne Wolf认为阅读是和大脑组织有联系的，作者提到她的书也是要证明这一点。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all Technology makes it possible.(越来越多的人不读不写就能融入当今世界吗？科技使之成为可能)”和最后一段末“Would we really choose to give up that progress What do you think Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete (我们真的会选择放弃这种进步吗？你怎么看？你希望人们继续阅读和写作，还是希望科技使读写能力过时？)”可知，作者在和读者互动，期待答复与评论。由此推测，文章可能出自网络博客的帖子。故选B项。
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
32. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
33. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
34. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推断，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复，而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延，然后忘记)”可知，设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推断，Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. (与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期可以增加收到回复的机会)”可知，文章主要介绍了设定截止日期的长短会影响人们做事是否拖延。由此可知，C项“Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination (截止日期——减少拖延的关键)”适合作为本文标题。故选C。

Learn How to Have a Learning Vacation
Going on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,” he said.
Here, he shares his advice on planning a learning vacation that you won’t regret taking:
Follow your passion (热情). ____36____. They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding. To get the most out of the trip, choose something you’re passionate about.
____37____ With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion (沉浸) or only to occupy a part of your trip. It’s possible to learn cooking basics, for example, by taking a weeklong course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Another option is to attend several half-day classes at the school and have more free time to explore the destination itself. “____38____, so make sure that it’s what you really want,” Mr. Spence said.
Consider your budget. No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges. ____39____. If you want to learn scuba diving (水肺式潜泳), for example, heading to the Maldives will cost several thousand dollars per person, while a scuba diving trip to the Florida Keys is a more wallet-friendly choice.
Don’t forget the children. ____40____, provided that they are fun. “Yes, you want your kids to learn, but you don’t want them to be bored by overloading them with too much information,” Mr. Spence said.
A. A little, or a lot
B. Don’t be influenced by others’ interests
C. What skill do you want to learn
D. Learning vacations can be great family trips, too
E. The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless
F Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip
G. Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful
【答案】36. E 37. A 38. G 39. F 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要就“学习如何度过一个学习假期”这一话题提出了几点建议：以自己的爱好为出发点，确定自己的需求是投入大部分时间还是一点点时间，考虑预算，还可以组织一次家庭学习假期。
【36题详解】
根据后文“They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding.(它们包括烹饪、摄影、艺术史、农业或一项运动，如潜水或骑马。)”可知，后文用举例的方式讲到了学习的项目选择多样性，由此可推知，设空句作为前句，应是总述“假期学习项目很多”。选项E“The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless(在你的假期里，你可以学习的东西是无限的)”在句意上符合分析，句中“The options”与后文的“They”相呼应，前后衔接紧密。故选E项。
【37题详解】
设空句为该段主题句，概括后文内容。根据后文“With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion or only to occupy a part of your trip.(无论你打算学习什么技能，弄清楚你是想沉浸在其中，还是只想占据你旅行的一部分。)”可知，该部分的主要内容是关于技能学习的时长的讨论，是将整个旅行时间大部分投入还是只是一小部分时间。选项A“A little, or a lot(一点点，或者很多)”符合该段主旨要义。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据后文“so make sure that it’s what you really want(所以要确定这是你真正想要的)”可知，这是结果句，强调要确定自己的需求，那么设空句应是原因句，解释原因。选项G“Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful(把整个假期都花在学习新东西上可能会有压力)”解释了原因，即，整个假期都在学习会有压力，因此要慎重确定自己的需求。故选G项。
【39题详解】

They believe the book offers more information, and it’s enjoyable to read beautiful language. From my point of view, reading the book may be the better choice.

67. 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。
I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race.
“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. My world was clouded by total darkness. How I wish the ground to crack and swallow me! I could feel everybody was staring at me, widening their mouths and not being able to utter a word. The sudden silence brought sharp pain in my knees and “failure” was the only word flashing in my mind. Then the silence was broken by a deep voice, “You won’t give up so easily, will you ” The boy ahead of me turned back and pulled me up. “Let’s run to the finishing line together!” The second mile saw its end while we ran shoulder to shoulder.
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to rum without me. “You can win a place if you go by yourself.” I looked at him in the eyes with sweat blurring my sight. The boy breathing heavily, drops of sweat rolled down his face. He shook his head saying,“Winning a place is not that important, isn’t it ”. Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners. The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause. I knew they cheered for us not for winning a race but for something more important.

If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.
I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later ” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi. Worry built while I cleaned the fish tank, slightly admiring the simple aquatic life.
Evie was a college student, living off campus with three roommates. They looked out for one another, all were smart and careful, and I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble. But maybe she’d had a spat with one of her friends or was running low on money. Maybe she was drowning in schoolwork. I imagined a million what-ifs. Weren’t cell phones made to put a parent’s mind at ease Evie was going to get a mouthful when she finally found a free minute to tell me that I didn’t need to worry.
I filled the aquarium with fresh water, and my impatience reached the top as well. The fish swam laps in the crystal-clear tank. I wished I were more like these peaceful angels living in the moment. Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed. “Sorry, Mom. Today was so busy and great!” I told her that was just what I had imagined. I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.
24. Why did the author become worried at the beginning
A. Evie’s roommates treated her unkindly. B. Evie forgot to say hello to her as usual.
C. Something went wrong with her fish. D. She couldn’t reach Evie on the phone.
25. What does the underlined phrase “had a spat” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Chatted. B. Shopped. C. Quarreled. D. Played.

Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Eighty-six percent of the world’s population is literate(有读写能力的)，and this rate has been increasing for centuries. Literacy makes it possible to navigate a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs and more.
Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions.Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions aren’t perfect-the software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine a future world where all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken.
But reading and writing are powerful tools.For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator speaks at around150to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can cruise through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read as opposed to listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution of our species.” Would we really choose to give up that progress What do you think Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete(淘汰的)
28. What does the 2nd paragraph focus on
A. Technology makes up for illiteracy. B. Many people have problems with literacy.
C. Technology is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is changing fast.
pared to listening, what will a person do when reading
A. Gather more information. B. Remember less clearly.
C. Show less interest. D. Learn more words.
30. Why does the author mention Maryanne’s book
A. To give an example of a book on reading.
B. To show the evolution of human beings.
C. To prove that reading is related with brain.
D. To illustrate the need for reading and writing.
31. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A blog post.
C. A book review. D. An academic article.
D
They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
32. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
33. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
34. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination

Learn How to Have a Learning Vacation
Going on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,” he said.
Here, he shares his advice on planning a learning vacation that you won’t regret taking:
Follow your passion (热情). ____36____. They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding. To get the most out of the trip, choose something you’re passionate about.
____37____ With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion (沉浸) or only to occupy a part of your trip. It’s possible to learn cooking basics, for example, by taking a weeklong course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Another option is to attend several half-day classes at the school and have more free time to explore the destination itself. “____38____, so make sure that it’s what you really want,” Mr. Spence said.
Consider your budget. No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges. ____39____. If you want to learn scuba diving (水肺式潜泳), for example, heading to the Maldives will cost several thousand dollars per person, while a scuba diving trip to the Florida Keys is a more wallet-friendly choice.
Don’t forget the children. ____40____, provided that they are fun. “Yes, you want your kids to learn, but you don’t want them to be bored by overloading them with too much information,” Mr. Spence said.
A. A little, or a lot
B. Don’t be influenced by others’ interests
C. What skill do you want to learn
D. Learning vacations can be great family trips, too
E. The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless
F. Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip
G. Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful

67. 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。
I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race.
“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground.

In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me.
