THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE
ACT 1， SCENE 3
Narrator：Two rich brothers， Roderick and Oliver， have made a bet①.Oliver believes that with a million-pound bank note a man could live a month in London.His brother Roderick doubts it.They see a poor young man walking outside their house.It is Henry Adams.
Roderick：Young man， would you step inside a moment， please？
Henry：Who？ Me， sir？
Roderick：Yes， you.
Servant②：（opening a door） Good morning， sir.Would you please come in？
（Henry enters the house.）
Roderick：How do you do， Mr ...er ...？
Henry：Adams.Henry Adams.
Oliver：Come and sit down， Mr Adams.
Henry：Thank you.
Roderick：You’re an American？
Henry：That’s right， from San Francisco.
Roderick：May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are？
Henry：Well， I can’t say that I have any plans.As a matter of fact③ ， I landed in Britain by accident.
Oliver：How is that possible？
Henry：Well， I had my own boat.[1]About a month ago， I was sailing④， and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind.The next morning I was spotted⑤ by a ship.
Oliver：[2]And it was the ship that brought you to England.
Henry：Yes.I went to the American consulate⑥ to seek help， but ...Anyway， I didn’t dare⑦ to try again.（The brothers smile at each other.）
Roderick：Well， you mustn’t worry about that.It’s an advantage.
Henry：I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you， sir.
　　[1]句中使用了“find＋宾语＋宾语补足语”的复合结构，过去分词短语carried out to sea by a strong wind作宾语补足语，用于补充说明宾语myself的情况。
　　[2]本句中it was ...that ...是强调句，强调主语the ship。
Roderick：Tell us， what sort⑧of work did you do in America？
Henry：I worked for a mining⑨ company.Could you offer me work here？
Roderick：Patience⑩.If you don’t mind， may I ask you how much money you have？
Henry：Well， to be honest ， I have none.
Oliver：（happily） What luck！ Brother， what luck！
Henry：Well， it may seem lucky to you but not to me！ If this is your idea of some kind of joke， I don’t think it’s very funny.Now if you’ll excuse me， I ought to be on my way .
Roderick：Please don’t go.You mustn’t think we don’t care about you.Oliver， give him the letter.
Oliver： Yes， I was about to go get the letter.Wait！ （getting it from a desk and giving it to Henry） The letter.
Henry：（taking it carefully） For me？
Roderick：For you.（Henry starts to open it.） Oh， no， you’d better not open it.[3]You can’t open it until two o’clock.
Henry：Oh， this is silly.
Roderick：Not silly.There’s money in it.
Henry：Oh， no.I don’t want your charity.I just want a job that earns an honest income.
Roderick：We know you’re hard-working.[4]That’s why we’ve given you the letter. （to the servant） Show Mr Adams out .
Henry：Well， why don’t you explain what this is all about？
Roderick：You’ll soon know.In exactly an hour and a half.
Servant：This way， sir.
Roderick：Not until 2 o’clock.Promise？
Henry：Promise.Goodbye.
　　[3]句中使用了not ...until ...结构，意为“直到……才……”。
　　[4]That’s why ...意为“那就是为什么……”，why引导表语从句，其中包括“give＋间接宾语＋直接宾语”构成的双宾语结构。

百万英镑
第一幕　第三场
旁白：罗德里克和奥利弗这对富家兄弟打了个赌。奥利弗认为一张面值百万英镑的钞票能让一个人在伦敦活一个月。他的兄弟罗德里克则表示怀疑。他们看到一个穷困潦倒的年轻人从户外走过。此人是亨利·亚当斯。
罗德里克：小伙子，请进来一下，好吗？
亨利：谁？我吗，先生？
罗德里克：是的，你。
仆人：（打开房门）早上好，先生。请进。
（亨利走进屋里。）
罗德里克：你好，你是……？
亨利：亚当斯。亨利·亚当斯。
奥利弗：进来坐吧，亚当斯先生。
亨利：谢谢。
罗德里克：你是美国人？
亨利：是的，我从旧金山来。
罗德里克：能告诉我们你来英国干什么吗？你有什么计划吗？
亨利：呃，谈不上有什么计划。事实上，我流落英国是一场意外。
奥利弗：怎么回事？
亨利：呃，我自己有一艘小船。大约一个月前，我开船出海，傍晚时，一阵大风把我刮到了海上。第二天早晨，一艘船发现了我。
奥利弗：这么说，是那条船把你带到了英国。
亨利：是的。我去美国领事馆求助，但是……我是无论如何也不敢再去了。（兄弟俩相视一笑。）
罗德里克：呃，你不必担心。这倒是件好事呢。
亨利：我不太明白您的意思，先生。
罗德里克：告诉我们，你在美国是做什么行当的？
亨利：我在一家采矿公司工作。你们能在这儿给我找份工作吗？
罗德里克：别着急。不介意的话，能告诉我你有多少钱吗？
亨利：嗯，不瞒您说，我身无分文。
奥利弗：（兴高采烈）运气太好了！兄弟，运气太好了！
亨利：呃，对你们来说可能是件幸运的事，可对我来说不是！如果你们是在开玩笑，那我觉得并不好笑。很抱歉，我该走了。
罗德里克：请留步。你千万别认为我们不在乎你。奥利弗，把信给他吧。
奥利弗：好的，我正要去拿信呢。等一下！（从书桌上拿起信递给亨利）给你信。
亨利：（小心翼翼地接过信）给我的？
罗德里克：给你的。（亨利开始拆信。）哦，不，你最好先别拆。两点以后再打开吧。
亨利：哦，这真是可笑。
罗德里克：这并不可笑。里面有钱呢。
亨利：哦，不，我不要你们的施舍。我只想要一份有诚实收入的工作。
罗德里克：我们知道你很努力。那就是我们为什么给你这封信的原因。（转向仆人）送亚当斯先生出去。
亨利：呃，为什么不跟我讲讲，这究竟是怎么一回事呢？
罗德里克：你很快就会知道了。准确地说，一个半小时以后。
仆人：这边请，先生。
罗德里克：两点以后再把信打开。能答应我吗？
亨利：我答应您。再见。

Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　（2024·兰州高一下质检）When Sherrie and Michael Lloyd first got married， they had nine credit cards between them， and they were heavily in debt.Six years later， this southern California couple are debt-free with a healthy savings.Here’s how the Lloyds managed this remarkable turnaround.
　　After signing up for a six-week class called Financial Peace — they found it through their church； it’s based on the best-selling Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money — the Lloyds were inspired to take charge.Sherrie says the class taught her to see that “you can’t use your money for the future when it’s tied to the past.”
　　Using Ramsey’s financial principles， they first saved up $1，000 for an emergency fund.Then they consolidated their nine credit cards down to two and employed Ramsey’s “snowball” approach by paying off their smallest debts first before dealing with the larger amounts.Their final — and toughest — step was to transfer their remaining debt — $18，000 — onto one interest-free card and then give themselves an 18-month deadline to pay it off.It might be more doable than you think.
　　The effectiveness of the Lloyds’ financial plan came from their ability to see progress right away.By paying off $1，000 in credit card debt per month， Sherrie and Michael could actually see the debt going down.They also solved their problem as a team.“In a marriage， you’re in it together — both working towards a solution together，” Sherrie says.
　　To make this happen， they had to give up a few trips.It also meant saying no to certain luxuries， like eating out and going to the movies or amusement parks.“Know what’s important to you.For us， it was important to figure out our goals and pay off debts，” Sherrie says.She quotes one of Ramsey’s bits of wisdom：“Adults make a plan and stick to it， and children just do whatever they feel like doing.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。当一对美国夫妇陷入债务危机，他们是如何度过的呢？
1.What did Sherrie learn from Financial Peace？（　　）
A.Money has never come easily.
B.A penny saved is a penny earned.
C.Don’t spend your money before you have it.
D.Buy what you need instead of what you want.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Financial Peace这一课程教人们如何管理金钱，教给Sherrie最重要的就是不要超前消费。
2.What’s the key of the Lloyds’ financial plan？（　　）
A.Doing everything quickly.
B.Making gradual progress.
C.Focusing on big problems.
D.Dealing with large bills first.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，Lloyd夫妇处理债务的顺序是由小到大，并每个月坚持，也就是循序渐进。
3.What attitude did Sherrie take to their sacrifices？（　　）
A.Positive.　　　　　　　　B.Doubtful.
C.Confused.　　D.Regretful.
解析：A　观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，Sherrie认为，人生需要确立每个阶段的当务之急并确立目标，对他们来说，这一目标就是偿还债务。作为成年人，就应该制订计划并努力实现。
4.What would be the best title for the passage？（　　）
A.How a Couple Got Out of Debts
B.How a Class Changed a Couple’s Life
C.A Couple Became Rich by Spending Wisely
D.A Couple Won Financial Freedom by Saving
解析：A　标题归纳题。综合全文可知，本文主要讲述了Lloyd夫妇如何努力摆脱债务的经过。因此A项为本文最佳标题。
B
　　（2024·青岛高一下月考）Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences， such as travel and entertainment， than on things， such as clothes and electronic goods.But are people happier during the purchased （购买的） experience itself？ Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience？
　　A new study， published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology， offers an answer.Our experiential purchases bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material purchases， but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment， the study found.
　　For the study， the researchers recruited 2，635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day.The texts began with a happiness question， which asked the participants to rate how they felt “right now” on a scale from very bad to very good.Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour， such as clothing or electronic goods.The others were asked if they had made an experiential purchase within the past hour， such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
　　The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods， no matter how much the purchases cost.
　　To address possible differences in types of purchasers， the researchers conducted a second study in which they researched more than 5，000 adults.“We still observed the same result，” said Amit Kumar， the study’s lead author.
　　The researchers said a possible explanation is the endurance （持久） of experiences in people’s memories， while the observed value of material goods weakens over time.
　　“If you want to be happier， it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences，” Kumar said.“That would likely lead to greater happiness.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐。
5.Why does the author put forward two questions in Paragraph 1？（　　）
A.To make a fact clear.
B.To introduce a new study.

Step 1　品教材课文
MY AMAZING NAADAM EXPERIENCE
　　I experienced the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region for the first time this year.The festival falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar， usually lasting for three days.Naadam means “games” in Mongolian， and it is represented by three events： horse racing， wrestling， and archery， which are all so exciting to watch！
　　On the first day， I set off to the games early with my friend Burin.I saw a lot of people wearing fancy Mongolian robes.Some were feeding their horses， some were practising archery， and others were chatting or taking photographs.Burin told me that Mongolians travel every year from near and far to attend the festival， just as their ancestors had done for centuries.
　　After the opening ceremony and some amazing performances， the wrestling competition began.Mongolian wrestling is different from the wrestling in the Olympic Games.There are no rounds， and wrestlers are not separated by weight.The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground.After singing some songs， the competitors danced onto the green field， waving their arms in the air as if they were eagles.I was quite moved by their show of strength and grace.
　　I absolutely enjoyed the archery， too， but the horse races were my favourite part.However， I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls！ I heard it is because children are lighter and the horses can run faster and farther.At first， I was a little worried about the children’s safety， but Burin said， “Don’t worry.They’ve been riding horses all their lives.They’ll be just fine.” That was the moment I started to understand why people say “Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”....
I’m finally back home now， feeling really tired， but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it.He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and eat hot pot.I can’t wait！
Step 2　析写作手法
学语言：
1.修饰语：

（2）文章最后一段恰当地使用副词finally、 really、 totally描述了作者的节日感受，并表达了作者对故地重游的期待。
3.高级表达：
set off、 amazing、 absolutely、 can’t wait 等表达的运用彰显了作者高人一筹的文字驾驭能力。
4.高级句式：
（1）文章第二段第三句运用了排比句some ...some ...and others ...， 不仅使表达具有韵律感，还能增强气势。
（2）文章第四段第二句巧妙运用了感叹句，表达了作者强烈的惊讶之情。
学结构：
【参考译文】
我的“那达慕”大会奇妙经历
　　今年，我第一次体验了中国内蒙古自治区的“那达慕”大会。这一节日于每年农历六月初四开始，通常持续三天。“那达慕”在蒙语中意为“游戏”，主要表现为三大赛事：赛马、摔跤和射箭，每项运动都动人心魄！
　　（“那达慕”大会的）第一天，我和好友布林早早出发来到了会场。我看到许多人身着华丽的蒙古袍。有的在喂马，有的在练习射箭，其他人则在聊天或拍照。布林告诉我说，与他们数百年前的祖先一样，蒙古人每年都会从四面八方赶来参加这一节日。
　　开幕式和几项精彩的表演之后，摔跤比赛开始了。蒙古式摔跤与奥运会的摔跤比赛有所不同：它不分局，摔跤手也不分体重级别。摔跤手膝盖以上的任何部位先着地者为负。几首歌唱毕，选手们开始在草地上翩翩起舞，他们挥动着双臂，宛如雄鹰。这刚与柔的展示深深地打动了我。
　　射箭同样令我叹为观止，但赛马才是我最喜爱的部分。然而，看到赛马选手们都是男孩和女孩，我十分惊讶！听说这是因为儿童体重更轻，马儿才能跑得更快、更远。刚开始的时候，我有点担心这些孩子的安全，但布林却说：“别担心，他们是在马背上长大的，不会有事的。”我顿时明白了为什么人们说“马是蒙古文化的核心”了。……
　　我现在已经回到家了，感到十分疲倦，但能和我的朋友一起庆祝那达慕，再累也是值得的。他邀请我冬天时再去住传统的蒙古包，吃火锅。我已经迫不及待了！

　　Customs， Traditions and Celebrations
　　National Bird Day can be celebrated in any number of different ways.Participants can watch birds — either alone or in a group， and they can take part in one of the activities that exist for the protection of birds.In schools across the US， children are often given the task of researching about birds on this day or drawing a nice picture of birds for the classroom.

　　（2024·聊城高一下期末）Sweetest Day in America is always the third Saturday in October.This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others （Detroit， Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities）.It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.
　　Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick， aged， and orphaned， but also friends， relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
　　Over 60 years ago， a man in Cleveland， believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins （卧病在床的人） too often felt that they were forgotten and neglected， thought of the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this through the distribution of small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbours， he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October.During the years that followed， other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony， which came to be called “Sweetest Day”.In time， the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor was broadened to include everyone， and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance.And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.
　　Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious affection or on a family relationship.It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.Because for many people remembering others takes the form of giving gifts； Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care about them in a practical way.

　　（2024·云南三校高一下学期联考）I used to play football when I was a little kid.Okay， let’s face it.I was never really a little kid.I was so big that I got to play football a whole year ahead of my friends.Our football league didn’t have an age limit， but it had a weight requirement.If you were heavy enough， you got to play.I was heavy enough at the age of eight.
　　The only problem was， by the time I turned ten I was too heavy.You had to weigh a certain amount to start playing， but if you weighed too much they made you stop.Not playing would be just fine with me.I would be happier sitting at home reading a book.
　　Dad was one of the team’s big sponsors and friends of the coach， so I figured I would let him down and that quitting wasn’t an option.I waited， day after day， and week after week ...until I was eleven and weighed more than two hundred pounds.I thought that would be the end of it， once and for all.
　　However， my coach came up with a bright idea to help me lose weight.The very next practice he presented me with a T-shirt made out of a black garbage bag.“Put it on，” he said， pointing out the holes for my head and arms.“Start running around the practice field.” “Keep going， Fireplug （消防栓），” other players would shout.“Fireplug” was the new name they gave me.Although no one ever explained it to me， I figured it had something to do with me being shaped like it.
　　Every day in practice， I had to run in that stupid garbage bag.My short fat legs weren’t exactly comfortable， and often I’d trip and fall.The other players would laugh.At that moment， I asked myself， “Why？Was I being punished for something？Wasn’t the running， sweating and pain enough？” I suddenly realised that I’d been knocking myself out for something I didn’t even want to do in the first place！
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。

　　It was then that I decided I wouldn’t play football anymore.With my heart pounding， I walked towards the coach with shaky legs.At that time， it didn’t exactly seem brave.It just seemed right.“What’s up？” the coach asked me in confusion.“I quit，” I said in a trembling but determined voice.“What？You can’t quit.What would your dad think？” He seemed disappointed and picked up the phone.Having described the situation to my dad， he handed me the phone.
　　Much to my surprise， my dad was on my side.On the phone， he explained he had thought I wanted to be the next big football star from my perseverance！But now he understood and told me it was time to make a change， no matter what anyone else thought.Suddenly， a warm current surged into my heart.I hung up the phone and headed home， thinking about the thing which made me happy.It was from the experience that I realised we should express our real thoughts bravely.

W：I can speak a bit of Italian.I think you really have to live in another country to learn the language.
M：Yeah.I want to get the basics down with this class， but I’m hoping I’ll really learn how to speak Spanish when I live in South America.Did you study Thai while you were in Thailand？
W：No.I went to the US Institute of Thailand， so we only spoke English.
M：You have to communicate with the local people！No wonder you didn’t learn Thai.
（Text 10）
M：Attention， all students.By now， all of you have heard about the event that happened at Coolidge Hall last weekend.On Saturday night at about 11：00， two freshmen reported that their TV， DVD player， and both of their computers were stolen from their dorm room.Their Samsung TV and DVD player together are valued at $600， but their Apple computers are each valued at $1，000.Because the total value of these goods is over $500， it is the most serious type of crime.So far， campus security and the local police have been unable to find the stolen items or the thieves.We need your help.If you were in the area of Coolidge Hall at the time of the robbery， and you think you saw something， please contact campus security at 658-2230.You can also stop by one of the three offices on campus 24 hours a day.Please do not contact the local police department directly.They are very busy with other cases， and they have asked that all information about this case go through campus security.Please keep an eye out for the items.Whoever took them probably wants to sell them before taking anything else.If you are offered some “used” electronics that match the description of the stolen goods， please call us right away.In the meantime， we are adding extra security staff around the dormitories， but please be especially careful with your valuable items.

A
　　There is a new coffee shop in London： Ziferblat.Here is some information about it.
　　Billing
　　You can stay for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop.You’ll be given a clock when you come in to keep timing.When you leave， you return the item and pay the bill.The cost is 3 pence （便士） per minute or ￡1.8 an hour.
　　Offering
　　The shop’s owner， Ivan Meetin， says， “Everything is free， except the time you spend here.” Customers help themselves to coffee and cookies.They can also bring their own food to eat while accessing the Internet through Wi-Fi.
　　Atmosphere
　　Meetin’s customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with a paper cup to drink from at their desks.They are there for atmosphere.The new coffee shop’s atmosphere is relaxing.Informality is at the heart of Meetin’s concept.Meetin believes his coffee shop is a bit like “social media” and like-minded people go there to socialise.
　　Reflection
　　The concept of coffee shops， where you pay for the time and not for the cup， has proved popular in Russia.Ziferblat is part of a Russian chain.As for London’s chain， only time will tell if the British will warm to the idea.

　　She told Reuters she is helping develop reading habits of the kids as well as make them aware of the environment.As soon as she shows up， little children， many accompanied by their mothers， surround her “Rubbish Library” and ask for the books.They are all carrying rubbish bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out.She is happy that the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
　　Raden said，“Let us build a culture of literacy （读写能力） from young age to reduce the harm of the online world.We should also take care of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from rubbish.” She collects about 100 kilograms of waste each week， which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold.She has a stock of 6，000 books to lend.
　　Kevin Alamsyah， an eager 11-year-old reader， searches for waste lying in the village.“When there is too much rubbish， our environment will become dirty.That’s why I look for rubbish to borrow a book，” he says.
　　The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia has been around 96 percent， though a report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic would leave more than 80 percent of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level.

　　Doing business nowadays without a cell phone？ Even a very private life？ I can’t imagine it anymore.
　　Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well： for the average working person， there’s no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day.If we’re lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends， we’re overjoyed to leave work email and the stress that comes with it in the office.
　　But experts say we’re increasingly failing to do so， instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time.Unsurprisingly， this routine has some serious consequences.
　　Now， it is a reflex， like checking my Facebook or Twitter.Yes， it’s indeed so — but never 24/7.
　　Working long hours have long been linked with depression， anxiety and even heart disease.The importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal energy.While further research revealed psychological detachment （分离） during off-work time reduced emotional tiredness caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged.
　　So， if we know all this， it begs the question： why are we still letting work invade our precious weekends？
　　According to Cary Cooper， professor of organizational psychology at Manchester Business School， the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.
　　Today， says Cooper， work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away.“You don’t carry your laptop around when you’re out to dinner， but you do carry your mobile phone，” he says.“The smartphone changed everything.In many cases， what is gained does not make up for what is lost.”
　　If we don’t switch off from work， we don’t recover from work.We should get the right being disconnected.At night or during weekends.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。随着手机的广泛使用，工作越来越变得无处不在。作者认为工作的广泛渗透和蔓延是有害的。

A.Working at home.　　B.Being out of work.
C.Using a cell phone.　　D.Working after work.
解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，这里的this routine指“将工作带回家以及下班后处理工作邮件”。
30.What does Cary Cooper think of working extra hours？（　　）
A.It’s necessary.　　B.It’s rewarding.
C.It isn’t common.　　D.It isn’t worthwhile.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，作者明显是反对下班后工作的。引用Cary Cooper的话，也是要证明自己的观点——Cary Cooper也认为这样做得不偿失。

A.To advocate the right to disconnect.
B.To stress the necessity of working hard.
C.To explain why people work long hours.

　　What is the secret to the world’s most creative minds — the minds of resourceful inventors， innovative scientists and inspired artists？ Are they simply lucky to be born with the right genes？ Most studies suggest that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person’s genes.
　　So what are the requirements for creativity？ First of all， creativity takes time.We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance， but this is rarely the case.Ideas often develop and form over a long period.In fact， many of history’s most creative people have a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators.Martin Luther King， Jr， reportedly wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech at ten o’clock the night before he delivered it， but it had gone through a long period of “preparation and incubation” in his mind before that.
　　In a surprising twist， creativity may also be sparked by suffering.We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses.Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists， and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old.
　　Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms.They don’t seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds， some of which may seem inappropriate to others.Creative people are also curious.They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks.As children， creative people are often unable to sit still， unable to focus on their lessons， instead， always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention.
　　The search for the source of creativity continues.Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world’s most creative minds.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。大多数研究表明，只有10%的创造力是由一个人的基因决定的。文章主要就创造力的要求和特点进行了说明。
32.Martin Luther King’s speech is mentioned to show 　　　　.（　　）
A.creative people magic up ideas
B.the creative process requires time
C.right genes contribute to creativity
D.the last-minute pressure brings breakthroughs
解析：B　推理判断题。根据第二段可推知，马丁·路德·金的演讲被提到是为了表明创造过程需要时间。
33.How does the author prove his point in the 3rd paragraph？（　　）
A.By quoting sayings.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By providing examples.
D.By analyzing a phenomenon.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据第三段可推知，作者在第三段通过举例子来证明自己的观点。
34.Which of the following signs do creative kids probably exhibit？（　　）
A.Lack of curiosity.
B.High activity level.
C.Distraction-free mode.
D.Good adaptation skills.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，有创造力的孩子可能会表现为活动水平高。
35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？（　　）
A.To reveal the secrets of brilliant inventions.
B.To present the sufferings of artistic geniuses.
C.To explore the characteristics of creative minds.
D.To introduce the achievements of innovative scientists.
解析：C　写作目的题。根据最后一段并结合文中主要就创造力的要求和特点进行了说明可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是探索创造性思维的特点。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Winston Churchill said， “We make a living by what we get， but we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple， beautiful words of an old Chinese proverb： “36.（　　） If you want happiness for a day， go fishing.If you want happiness for a year， inherit a fortune.If you want happiness for a lifetime， help somebody.”
　　37.（　　） A study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University of British Columbia found that spending money on others promotes happiness more than spending money on oneself.In an experiment， participants were given an envelope containing either five or twenty dollars.Participants who spent the money on a gift for someone else or for a charitable donation reported greater happiness than those who spent the money on themselves.
　　We hear throughout history， philosophy， and literature the same themes regarding giving.38.（　　） It’s the source of true happiness， the meaning of life， the source of the greatest emotional and psychological returns.It’s the best way to recover from the worst tragedies.It’s a greater pleasure than the creation of wealth and the most direct route to happiness.
　　39.（　　） What provides a feeling of security.What provides a sense of accomplishment.What gives inner peace.What brings great meaning， fulfillment， and happiness.
　　40.（　　） Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories of how happy it can make us — stories from people we admire.I have had the privilege of meeting many of these people through my work.I’d heard their stories of how giving their time， resources， and talents to the causes they care about has brought them happiness and fulfillment far greater than they had ever imagined.
A.So why don’t more of us give？
B.Giving is what liberates the soul.
C.Is it better to give than to receive？
D.If you want happiness for an hour， take a nap.
E.Modern science has proved this phenomenon.
F.Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do.
G.Some people are in the habit of taking instead of giving.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。英国前首相丘吉尔曾说过：“我们靠所得谋生，但我们靠付出生活。”本文作者论述了给予和付出的力量。
36.D　下文的一组排比句都是“If you ...＋祈使句”这一句式和表达，由此可知，D项符合语境。
37.E　下文作者引用了一项科学研究，来支撑自己前面陈述的观点，由此可知，E项符合语境。
38.F　下文各句都以It’s开头，进一步阐述给予的力量；显然，It都指代本段中的giving一词（也是本文的关键词），故F项符合语境。
39.B　本段在继续阐述给予的神奇力量，这里之所以选B项是因为表语从句what liberates the soul与后面的What引起的句子形成并列。其实这几个并列的句子都相当于前面省略了Giving is的表语从句。
40.A　下句中的Perhaps it is because暗示上句应该是提出了一个问原因的疑问句，故A项符合语境。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。就英语而言，今天的学习者面临着无数选择。虽然电子词典非常流行，但作者却更喜欢纸质词典。
56.defining　根据介词on可知，设空处应该用动词-ing形式，故填defining。
57.that/which　本空格前的dictionary是一个先行词，因此后面用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。
58.are made　因为词典是“被制作”，而且是一个客观事实，因此这里用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语These books表示复数，故填are made。
59.choice　本空格前的wide是一个形容词，因此后面应用名词形式。
60.and　see it与hear it是并列关系，因此设空处应用并列连词and。
61.when/if　本空格后是一个完整的句子，因此应用连词when/if来引导时间或条件状语从句。
62.takes　本句在描述一个客观事实，且主语是动词-ing短语，因此用一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填takes。
63.strongly　本空格后面的suggest是一个动词，因此应用副词strongly来修饰它。
64.an　可数名词dictionary前需要一个不定冠词来表示泛指。English的发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
65.better　根据than可知，作者将paper （book） dictionaries与electronic dictionaries进行对比，因此用形容词good的比较级形式。

　　Christmas Day was coming.I was just a kid then， and my elder sister told me there was no Santa Claus.I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me.I knew Grandma always told me the truth.Grandma was home， and I told her everything.She was ready for me.“No Santa Claus！” She shouted.“Ridiculous！ Don’t believe it.” That rumor has been going around for years， and it makes me mad， plain mad.
　　“Now， put on your coat， and let’s go.”
　　“Go where， Grandma？” I asked.“Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store， the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything.As we walked through its doors， Grandma handed me ten dollars.“Take this money，” she said， “and buy something for someone who needs it.I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
　　I was only eight years old.I’d often gone shopping with my mother， but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.The store seemed big and crowded， full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping.For a few moments I just stood there， confused， holding that ten-dollar bill， wondering what to buy and who to buy it for.I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker， who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair.He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class.
　　Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat.I knew that because he never went out for recess during the winter.His mother always wrote a note， telling the teacher that he had a cough， but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough， and he didn’t have a coat.I would buy Bobby Decker a coat！ I settled on a red one， which looked really warm， and he would like that.
　　“Is this a Christmas present for someone？” the lady behind the counter asked kindly， as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.”
　　The nice lady smiled at me， put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

　　That evening， Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.She wrote “To Bobby， From Santa Claus” on it， after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house， explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers.Grandma parked near Bobby’s house， and I took a deep breath， and dashed for his front door.Seeing no other people notice us， I put the Christmas present down， pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car.
　　Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened.Out went Bobby Decker.Seeing the coat in the bag， he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out.After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus， I felt very proud of what I had done.At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper for ever.It was on that night that I realised the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.

（Text 1）
M：Can you give me a lift to my office this morning？
W：Uh， Carl.Why are you always asking me for that？
M：I’m sorry.I could take the bus， but then I’d have to leave so early！ If you give me a ride， I can sleep for an extra thirty minutes.
W：Well， I have to go to a concert today， and I hate to rush in advance.Why not ask Mom for a ride or drive your own car？
M：You know I want to.But I have to save money on gas.I only make ten dollars an hour.And I asked Mom， but she’ll have to go to the airport to pick up her client.
W：Well， OK.I’ll do it this time， but only this once.
M：Thanks！
（Text 2）
M：Tina， come in.
W：Thanks！What a beautiful flat！ Where did you get all these things？
M：Well， my father bought the CD player， and the other things were presents from my family， too.My brother gave me that red sofa.It was in his flat with two red chairs， but it was too big.He’s still got the chairs.
W：And what about the table that the CD player’s on？
M：My sister bought a new table and chairs when she got married.This is her old one.
W：And this desk looks really old.
M：Yeah， it was my grandfather’s desk when he was a student.He gave me that and my grandmother gave me that mirror over there on the wall.
W：What about your mother？
M：She bought me those bookshelves.My brother helped me put them on the wall.We put up the mirror at the same time.Could you help me clean the bookshelves now？
W：Of course.
（Text 3）
W：I’m sorry for being late.I left home early.But the traffic is getting increasingly crowded.
M：Well， it doesn’t matter.Traffic jams in Shanghai are very common.For me， I’d like to take the subway.It saves a lot of time and money.
W：I can’t agree with you more.I’ll try it next time.Oh， I’m really a bit hungry.
M：You can have a look at the menu first.
W：Wow， everything looks absolutely delicious.My mouth is watering.
M：I’ve been here several times.The environment is quite clean.
W：Oh， yes.The price is also reasonable.
（Text 4）
M：If I could go back in history and live when I like， I’d like to relive a period I’ve already lived — the 1960s.I was in my twenties， and everything was being renewed.You really felt anything was possible.Meeting people was the thing， and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening.The cinema， the theater， all that was very exciting with new things coming out.In fact， we seemed to be out all the time！ I don’t really remember working — of course， I was a student — or sitting around at home very much.It was the first time ordinary people started going out to eat.We were beginning to be adventurous about food， but we were more interested in meeting people.And dress， yes， that was the revolution.I mean， girls went around in really short skirts.Men were in jeans， and could wear their hair long， too.It was a wonderful period.It was like living in an age you could never have imagined， and that never has come back.We didn’t have much money， but it didn’t matter.And there were plenty of opportunities to do whatever you felt like doing.

　　（2024·常州高一下质检）I’m a student in my third year at Robert Gordon University， but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet.
　　I constantly have to force myself to stay awake， and to be alert， whatever it takes.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves.I am lucky because the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weight I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.
　　I am originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven.Money was always tight.My parents gave me everything I needed， but there was no money for luxuries.I worked hard at school though and， with the help of professors， I got the best A-level grades in my class.
　　Unfortunately， though I had applied for “settled” British residential status， the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I was not eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.
　　I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally， I’d like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes， I have a lot on my plate， but working hard isn’t new for me.Growing up， my parents cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
　　My dream is to get a job in the National Health Service.But now， I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard， I tell myself this is about my future.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名大学三年级的学生，他每周要工作35个小时来保持收支平衡。每当他发现生活艰难时，他都会告诉自己要为未来而拼搏。
4.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week？ （　　）
A.To pay for his own living expenses.
B.To pay for his tuition fees.
C.To prove his ability to earn money.
D.To help his parents pay off the debts.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，作者上得起大学的唯一方法是找一份能支付所有生活费用的工作，而作者的父母支付他的学费。由此可知，作者每周要工作很长时间，有时还要加班是为了自己支付生活费用。
5.What does the underlined word “eligible” in Paragraph 4 refer to？ （　　）
A.Responsible.　　B.Anxious.
C.Qualified.　　D.Accessible.
解析：C　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句上句可知，不幸的是，尽管作者申请了“定居”英国的居住身份，但英国内政部一直等到作者上六年级时才批准了申请。由此可知，作者不符合学生贷款的资格。所以画线词eligible意为“合格的，有资格的”。
6.Which of the following can NOT be used to describe the author？ （　　）
A.Persistent.　　B.Diligent.
C.Sociable.　　D.Ambitious.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，因为作者的工作，作者没有太多的时间去社交。由此可推知，作者并不是一个善于社交的人。
7.Which proverb can best summarize the passage？（　　）
A.Actions speak louder than words.
B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.A penny saved is a penny earned.
D.Where there is life， there is hope.
解析：B　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者每周要工作35个小时来保持收支平衡，一边打工一边上学，并取得优异成绩的故事。作者这种不懈努力的行为体现了“自助者天助”。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　（2024·烟台高一下月考）Many people think that if they can earn a lot of money and just reach that financial target， their problems will be solved.　8　
　　You may think that once you reach that financial target， you’ll feel like you’ve made it.Wrong.Instead， you’ll want more.It’s never enough.　9　 Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.It’s a means to buy clothes， food， cars， and other things that you want or need.
　　You may look at wealthy people and think I wish I were them.But if you think money will give you confidence or make you feel more complete， think again.Tom Bilyeu， the co-founder of Quest Nutrition，says， “Money is powerful.　10　 If you’re not proud of who you are， money won’t change that.If you don’t believe in yourself， money will fail you there， too.”
　　If all you’re interested in is money， you won’t be motivated （有积极性的） enough to deal with the challenges you will meet on your journey.　11　 According to Steve Taylor， Ph.D.， author of Out of the Darkness， purpose is an important part of a satisfying life.
　　Pursuing a passion can be more profitable in the long run.Doing what you love allows you to be creative and fills you up with energy.　12　 By pursuing a passion， you’ll be more satisfied and make as much or more money than someone pursuing income.
A.You need a purpose.
B.It’s the same as money.
C.Don’t be mistaken — money is necessary.
D.But it can’t change the way you feel about yourself.
E.That’s because having money as a goal won’t fill you up.
F.You actually end up working more because it doesn’t feel like work.
G.Unfortunately， pursuing money alone won’t bring you happiness or satisfaction.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为一味追求金钱不会让你快乐和满足。
8.G　空前讲述许多人认为一旦实现了自己的经济目标，那生活中的问题自然迎刃而解。下文几段讲述钱并不是万能的，它不会让你满足，不会让你改变自我认识，也不会促使你积极面对挑战。由此可推断，此处应描述“钱也有它的局限性”。故G项符合语境。
9.E　空前讲述即使你实现了自己的经济目标，你依然不会满足。根据空后的Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.可知，设空处应该解释你不满足的原因，故E项符合语境，E项中的won’t fill you up与空前的you’ll want more相呼应。
10.D　空前提到钱的作用很大；空后通过举例说明钱不会让你改变自我认识。故D项符合语境，D项中的it指代空前的Money， can’t change与本空后的won’t change及fail相呼应。
11.A　根据本段内容可知，此处应讲述你不应该一味追求金钱，而应该有人生目标，活得有意义，故A项符合语境。
12.F　空前提到从事自己热爱的工作能让你创意十足，精力充沛；空后讲述从事自己热爱的工作比只追求收入能让你更满足，能赚一样多或者更多的钱。由此可知，设空处内容应与“从事自己热爱的工作”或“追求自己热爱的东西”相关，故F项符合语境。

1 / 1Section Ⅲ　Discovering Useful Structures
情态动词和过去将来时
①Oliver believes that with a million-pound bank note a man could live a month in London.
②Young man， would you step inside a moment， please？
③May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are？
④Well， you mustn’t worry about that.
⑤Now if you’ll excuse me， I ought to be on my way.
⑥The two gentlemen had been having a heated argument for a couple of days， and had decided to make a bet which would settle their argument.
【我的发现】
（1）句①中的could 表示　能力　；句②中的would表示　请求　；句③中的May表示　许可　；句④中的mustn’t表示　禁止　；句⑤中的will表示　意愿　；ought to表示　义务和需要　。
（2）过去将来时的基本结构是　would＋do　（如句⑥）。
一、情态动词
　情态动词本身有一定的词义，通常与动词原形一起构成谓语，表示说话人对某一动作或状态的态度或主观设想。
1.基本特征
（1）在意义上，情态动词有一定的词义，但不能单独作谓语，需和实义动词或系动词一起作谓语。
（2）在形式上，情态动词一般没有人称和数的变化（be able to、 have to 除外）。
（3）在用法上，情态动词与助动词一样，其后需接动词原形，构成谓语动词。
2.情态动词的主要表意功能
（1）can/could 的用法
①表示能力，意为“能，会”；could主要指过去的能力。
Everyone can play a part in reducing waste.
每个人都可以在减少浪费方面发挥作用。
You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
你可以使用下面的写作练习来帮助你做到这一点。
②表示请求或许可。
当请求允许做某事时，两者均可用，但could语气更委婉。当表示允许某人做某事时，一般要用can，而不用could。
—Can/Could I use your bike tomorrow morning？
—Yes， you can.
——我明天早晨能用你的自行车吗？
——是的，可以。
③表示惊异、怀疑、不相信等态度时，意为“怎么能，怎么会”，主要用于否定句、疑问句或感叹句中，用could时语气较委婉。
How can you stay so calm after such a hot argument？
在如此激烈的争论之后，你怎么还能保持如此冷静？
名师点津
can与be able to的区别：
（1）can只能用在一般现在时，而be able to可用于更多的时态。
He will be able to tell you the news soon.
他将能够很快就告诉你这个消息。
（2）表示过去特定的能力或经过努力才具备的能力，只能用be able to。
I talked with her for a long time， and finally I was able to make her believe me.
我和她谈了很长时间，最终，我让她相信了我。
（2）must 的用法
表示现在或将来必须要做某事，多是出于义务、责任或强制命令，指说话人的主观意志。
We must promote our environmental awareness and behave ourselves.
我们必须提高环保意识，并规范我们的行为。
（2023·全国甲卷）She teaches that people must take responsibility for saving the environment.
她教育人们必须承担拯救环境的责任。
名师点津
（1）回答must引出的问句时，如果是否定的回答，则不能用mustn’t，而要用needn’t或don’t have to。
—Must we hand in our English exercise books？
—Yes， you must.（No， you don’t have to./No， you needn’t.）
——我们必须交英语练习册吗？
——是的，你必须要交。（不，你不必）。
（2）must用于疑问句中，可以用来表示责备、抱怨的感彩，意为“偏要，硬要”。mustn’t的意思是“禁止”，而不是“不必”。
Must you interrupt me now？Can’t you see I’m on the phone？
你非要现在打断我吗？难道你没看见我在打电话吗？
【即时演练1】　用适当的情态动词填空
①　Could　 you please be kind enough to tell me something about that？
②Life is full of choices， so we 　must　 think clearly before making a decision.
③I’m not a trained musician， but I’ve learnt to read music so I 　can　 help Maria in her performance.
④Tom， you 　must　 not leave all your clothes on the floor like this！
⑤I sincerely hope you 　can　 accept my invitation.
（3）may/might 的用法
①表示请求时，两者都可用，只是might表示的语气较委婉（但并不表示过去）；表示许可时，通常要用may而不用might。
If it is convenient， may/might I pay you a visit at your office next Tuesday？
如果方便的话，我可以下周二到办公室拜访你吗？
②may表示祝福与愿望，多用于书面语中，构成“may＋you/名词＋动词原形＋...”句型。
May you have a good journey！
祝你旅途愉快！
名师点津
“may well＋动词原形”表示“很可能”；may/might as well do sth表示“不妨做某事”。
He may well be surprised at the result.
他很可能会对这个结果感到意外。
To start with， you might as well learn to speak English.
首先，你最好学会说英语。
（4）shall 的用法
①shall用于第一、三人称的疑问句中时，表示征求意见。
—Shall I order a taxi for Sarah to go to the airport tonight？
—Don’t bother.I’ll drive her there.
——我要给Sarah订今天晚上去机场的出租车吗？
——不用麻烦了。我会开车送她去的。
②用于第二、三人称的陈述句时，往往表示给对方（you）或第三者（he、 she、 they）以允诺、命令、决心、警告或威胁等，在法律、条约、协定等文件中可以表示义务、规定等。
You shall fail if you don’t work harder.
如果你不再努力点儿，你就会失败。（警告）
Each citizen shall carry his ID card when travelling.

　　（2024·徐州高一下期末）The habit of thrift （节俭） was acquired by every one of Father’s family.In all his life， he never gave me a nickel.As a boy， I did not approve of his policy.He never lost an opportunity to tell me where and when I could earn some money.As a result of his warning， I frequently worked for neighbours with the understanding that I was to have every penny I earned.Father rarely borrowed from my savings.When he did， he never failed to keep his promise for payment.He never offered any advice， unless asked， as to how I was to invest my earnings.If I invested and lost， he remarked， “This is part of your experience.Live and learn.”I thought then that he was unpleasant and unsympathetic.I know better now.
　　Today we have “thrift days” and all sorts of devices for encouraging economy.To be frank about the matter， we have given up the very core of thrift.By that I mean the earning factor.In Father’s view， earning was a necessity.Someone has said that desire and necessity are the dynamic forces in social progress.Wealthy parents continue to hope against hope in their attempt to encourage thrift as a habit.In every middle school， college and university， the students who experience work are the only ones who really know the meaning of thrift.
　　A progressive doctrine of thrift involves earning， saving and spending.This cannot be taught in the classroom.Thrift is not a lone virtue； it is vitally related to all the other fundamental virtues.My habit of thrift gives me a strong hatred for waste.Millions of people in the world suffer from the lack of necessary food， clothing and shelter.The waste of the rich would， if put into use， meet the need of millions in poverty.

B.Going through failure before you finally succeed.

　　（2024·山东六校高一下联考）An Atlanta mother is making her kids work hard for their money.Instead of giving them an allowance， Shaketha Marion McGregor is giving them actual job titles and duties.Her innovative idea that she posted on Facebook has been shared over 114，000 times.
　　In a selfie， the mother of three showed that she was now “hiring” for three positions：laundry supervisor， lead housekeeper and kitchen manager for her company called “This Mom Means Business”.The photo also showed that she would be holding interviews for these jobs.The applicants？Her three kids： Jahkeem， 13， Takeia， 10， and Serinity， 6.
　　McGregor said the interviews went smoothly.To her surprise， the youngest was the most professional.“Jahkeem almost laughed the entire time， which caused me to laugh a lot， too.It was tons of fun.His only questions were， ‘How much do I get paid？How often do I get paid？And do I have to pay tax？’”
　　The kids have been handling the responsibilities of their new job duties pretty well so far， though it has only been about a week.McGregor says they’re anxiously awaiting their first paycheck.The mother said she came up with the idea after she had to replace a lot of items she lost during a tragedy.“We lost a lot of things last year in a house fire and I’ve been really working hard to recover the things that we need，” McGregor said.“And my kids continued to ask for things that they want so I figured it would be best to have them earn it.”

8.What happened to the family？（　　）
A.They suffered a fire.
B.They lost their home.
C.The father died in a tragedy.
D.They moved to a new city.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的We lost a lot of things last year in a house fire可知，McGregor家里因为一场大火损失了很多东西，所以McGregor家曾遭受过大火。

　　（2024·重庆高一下月考）Thomas Edison once said，“There are three types of people： There are those who think.There are those who think they think.And then there are those who would rather die than think.”
　　The great majority of people go through life without giving much thought to who they are and how they got to where they are today.9.（　　）， like a series of random events， with no explanations and few connections between them.
　　But the fact is that your world is largely created by the thoughts you think， and the things that you do as a result of your thinking.10.（　　）.When you change your thinking， you change your life.
　　Your thought is creative.You determine what happens to you by the thoughts you think， especially those thoughts that are charged with emotion， either positive or negative.Your thoughts are like the computer in a guided missile （导弹）.11.（　　）.
　　In a 2002 study at the University of Pennsylvania， 350，000 people were interviewed to find out what they thought about most of the time.It turned out that the top 10 percent， the happiest and most successful of this group， thought about two things most of the time： what they wanted and how to get it.12.（　　）.
　　The more that successful people thought about what they wanted and how to get it， the more ideas and insights came to them.13.（　　）， which moved them faster and faster towards their goals.When they achieved their goals， they felt happier， more motivated， and eager to set even bigger and more challenging goals.
　　The foundation principle of all religions， philosophy， psychology， and success is this： You become what you think about most of the time.
A.As a result， life just happens to them
B.They lead you correctly to your target
C.Decide upon something that you really want
D.You will eventually become what you think about
E.These ideas motivated them to take even more actions
F.They thought about their goals and the actions they could take
G.When you improve your thinking， you improve your actions and results
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。我们常听到一句名言：“我思故我在。”作者认为，我们每时每刻的所思所想，会最终决定我们成为什么样的人。

10.G　下句When you change your thinking， you change your life.暗示我们G项符合语境，正好与其构成并列句。
11.B　上句指出：你的思想就像导弹里的计算机。计算机应该是为导弹确定目标，我们的思想则是为我们的人生确定目标。故B项符合语境，B项中的They指代上句中提到的Your thoughts。
12.F　上文介绍了2002年宾夕法尼亚大学的一项研究，受访者有35万人，关注点是他们大多数时候在想什么。故F项符合语境。
13.E　上句指出：成功人士对他们想要什么以及如何得到它想得越多，他们就会有更多的想法和见解。故E项符合语境，E项中的These ideas正好与上句中的more ideas相呼应。
