21、One of the most popular comments I have heard about time is that we need to balance our time in order to live a more balanced life. We often feel that if we are focused and devoted, happy and positive, loving and generous, healthy and energetic, then we will be balanced people. And if the pie chart of our daily life has just the right ratios(比率) of work, life, family, health, and service, then our time will be balanced.
The problem with trying hard for balance is that most people’s understanding of this state is so different from what balance actually is! Balance is not about walking around with a bunch of positive qualities; it’s about walking on the tight rope between the poles within us and the circumstances outside of us. Strictly speaking, in order to achieve true balance, we should accept we may have some shortcomings. We should accept and love the most challenging parts of life because they offer gifts for full, real living.
Even though we measure time in a linear(线状的) way, time is and will always be asymmetrical(不均匀的). One moment is not like another, just like each day is different and each tide that rolls in is different from the previous one. This is why it is impossible to balance our time through a pie chart in a time management book. Exploring asymmetrical time allows us to move in line with an unbalanced time and thus regain our relative balance. If we stop measuring ourselves against the standards of linear time, we can accept ourselves more fully. New possibilities arise as we accept the uncertainty.
【1】Why does the author think it’s difficult to achieve balance in life?
A. People don’t know the true meaning of balance.
B. People may not have enough good qualities.
C. People cannot create their pie charts of daily life.
D. People fail to realize the qualities they really need.
【2】In the author’s opinion, what does a balanced life mean?
A. We should arrange our time wisely.
B. We should try to believe ourselves.
C. We should learn to improve ourselves and our lives.
D. We should accept the bad aspects of ourselves and life.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?
A. Uncertainty can help build up confidence.
B. It is difficult for us to accept ourselves fully.
C. There are always uncertain things occurring in life.
D. New possibilities can help us achieve balance in life.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A. The true meaning of time
B. Seeking relative balance
C. Struggle for a balanced life
D. Popular comments about time
22、Sea plants like marine algae (海洋藻类), seagrass and mangroves (红树林) provide habitats for many marine creatures including shrimp, fish and other small creatures. In some way, these plants keep the steady of the environment on the bottom of the sea that might otherwise be damaged by sea waves, sunlight and other climate change.
In mankind’s view, mangroves offer a safeguard against storms such as hurricanes, protecting the inland areas where people live, especially in places like the coastlines of Florida and Louisiana.
Marine algae, seagrass and mangroves play another vital role for many marine creatures-that of a baby room. Many marine animals lay eggs in these areas because their young have a better chance of avoiding hunters while hidden in the plants.
Many animals rely on these plants as a main food source as well. Sea urchins (海胆) are just one example of some marine creatures that eat marine algae, keeping the algae from over-growth for its health. Without these vital plants, lots of marine animals would have little protection from the hunters and human activities.
Pollution and fertilizer run-off, damage from boat grounding and human-caused stresses on natural water systems are just a few types of threats that impact these weak ecosystems. The effects of the oil run-off in combination with these pre-existent conditions are difficult to predict. However, it is certain that the results will not be good for the already stressed environments that many species of marine life call home.
When exposed to the oil and the chemicals used to clean up the run-off, the sea plants themselves are directly affected. But in addition, the marine animals that depend on these plants as food and shelter are also impacted, and the rest of the food web will feel the effect.
【1】What do the mangroves mean to the people in Florida?
A.Their security blankets.
B.Their food sources.
C.Their hiding places.
D.Their homes.
【2】Why do many marine animals produce their young in the three plants?
A.To handle climate change.
B.To search for food.
C.To look for room.
D.To seek shelter.
【3】What relationship do sea urchins and marine algae have?
A.Interdependent.
B.Unfriendly.
C.Cooperative.
D.Competitive.
【4】What may be the indirect result of the oil run-off?
A.The food web will be rebuilt.
B.The sea plants will grow widely.
C.People’s health will be under threat.
D.People will use chemicals to clean it up.

24、Sure it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because in general it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
"But really there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do learning bursts right open " says Evelyn Vuko a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called "Teacher Says" for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids, who get along with their teachers not only learn more but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher he or she can be someone to turn to with problems such as problems with learning or school life such as bullying.
As a kid in a primary or middle school you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge (海绵) able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that in most cases is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember teachers are people too and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place-to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher and if things aren't going well they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.
【1】In the passage the author mainly talks about _______.
A.how to get along well with others

B.The more questions you ask the higher marks you will get.
C.If you have a good relationship with your teacher you can turn to him when in trouble.

26、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。
“Be quiet.” No one actually ever said that to me — in fact, it was usually the opposite “Speak up.” “What did you say?” “I couldn’t understand you.” But every time someone told me to be louder, to be clearer, I wanted to shut my mouth and never open it again.
Years of living with a lisp (口齿不清) had taught me that it was better to say nothing than to speak and risk being misunderstood, leading to embarrassment and awkwardness. As a result of my silence, I felt distanced from most of my peers, having only a few people I felt were friends. “Kathryn? Oh, she’s quiet.” That’s what most people would say when they thought of me. “Quiet” might as well have been part of my name. I was okay with that. I didn’t need to be heard.
September of last year that all changed.
I started my first day of creative writing class with Ms. Haist. She is one of those teachers you don’t feel frightened to approach; you know she will help you if you need it. I had expected to fill out plot diagrams and learn the proper way to punctuate dialogue. However, every day we would be given a different writing prompt (提示词) and then, if we wished, we could share what we had written with the class. I remember sitting and listening to others read their work, and I distinctly remember thinking: That will never be me. I’ll never have the courage to do that.
Then, one day in October, I was really pleased with what I had written, so pleased that I wanted to share. I remember my heart pounding in my chest as I raised my hand to read, and those urgent little voices in my mind listing all the reasons why it wasn’t a good idea: They won’t understand you. You have a lisp, remember? Besides, your writing isn’t that good. Be quiet. Be quiet. I was about to withdraw my hand when I met Ms. Haist’s encouraging eyes.
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 swallowed the voices down and let my real voice come out.
