3、s, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where

4、I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the te

6、ng from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.” I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria.

My father decided that I would be be

14、tter off going to school here”可直接確定答案。 B Open water swimming I had only swum in open water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, so I wasn’t prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was

15、a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge. Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners—which is precisely the aim of the

16、 swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race. I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We we

17、re taken through an acclimatization area a children’s paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake. We’d been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. How

18、ever, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking ab

19、out how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn’t work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg. Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there—still one-legge

20、d. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn’t matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I’m hooked, and want to give it another go. I’ve already signed up for my next open-water swim. 本文屬于記敘文，描述作者參加一英里的天然水域游泳的經歷，最終成功到達終點線。 4

28、o reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they’ll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actually have bad posture

29、(姿勢). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better. The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely

30、 and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates, which are exercise-based. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with

31、minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly. The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the op

32、posite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the

33、 head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines. So who was Alexander and how did he come up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and r

34、ealized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teacher-training school, which is still successful today. So if you’re walking along the road one day with shoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, g

35、ive a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again. 本文屬于說明文，介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者。 8. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1? A. She felt no better after the treatment. B. She got bored with the Alexander technique. C. She was sceptical about the doctor’s method

36、. D. She was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據第一段I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they’ll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor.可知，作者從小就被灌輸這樣的思維，處理疼痛的更好辦法就是不做任何事情，希望疼痛自行消失，但是卻最終不得不去看醫(yī)生，故可知，作者看醫(yī)生都

37、是迫不得已，故選D。 9. What is the principle of the Alexander technique? A. Physical tension shouldn’t be completely relieved. B. The technique shouldn’t be combined with other exercises. C. The practice of the technique shouldn’t be attempted alone. D. Familiar physical actions shouldn’t be done with m

38、uch effort. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據第二段It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort.可知，亞歷山大技巧讓你更合理使用身體，用最小的努力來做那些習慣性的動作，故可知，該技巧的原則就是用最小的力來做習慣性的動作，故選D。 10. What can we learn about Frederick Alexander? A. He managed to recover his voc

39、al powers. B. He was eager to make a name for himself. C. He developed a form of exercise for actors. D. He had to leave home to develop his technique. 【答案】A 【解析】推理判斷題。根據倒數(shù)第二段Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during perfo

40、rmances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results.可知，弗雷德里克·亞歷山大，一個出身于186年的澳大利亞演員，在年輕的時候聲音出了問題。他做了分析，意識到自己的姿勢不正確，因此致力于改善姿勢，結果很好，故可知，他通過矯正姿勢，解決了自己的聲音問題，故選A。 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The occurrence of back pain is wide

41、spread. B. Alexander improved the technique to treat body pain. C. The Alexander technique helps overcome posture problems. D. People with back pain are victims of inappropriate postures. 【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意題。本文介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者，故可知在介紹亞歷山大技巧的作用，故選C。 【點睛】主旨大意題的做題技巧。 1) 主旨大意題屬于歸納概括題。如有標題，標題中

42、蘊含的信息往往是關鍵信息。 2) 找準文章的主題句是關鍵。“主題句定位法”是一種行之有效的方法。在答題時，我們可以：讀首句抓大意；讀尾句抓大意；讀首尾段抓大意。 3.) 無明顯主題句時高頻信息詞，任一篇文章都是圍繞某個主題展開的，因此，有的文章中最明顯的特點之一是有一個反復出現(xiàn)的中心詞，即高頻詞，也叫做主題詞。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。 比如小題4，本文介紹亞歷山大技巧的對于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者，故可知在介紹亞歷山大技巧的作用，故選C。 D Don’t put it off, do it now! Why do we spend so much time not d

43、oing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else. “We often put thi

44、ngs off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of

45、 your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who s

46、imply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads. Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to ap

47、preciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the pre

48、frontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system. Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are

49、thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it more likely a task will be completed. The benefit is that you’ll avoid the embarrassment

50、 of not following up on something people are expecting you to do—telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so. Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful, becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure

51、you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your att

52、ention, so you can really focus on moving forward. 本文屬于議論文，主要介紹拖延癥的影響以及處理拖延癥需要注意的事項。 12. What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1? A. It is something many people can’t help. B. It is an excuse people often use in public. C. It is caused by the technology in people’s life.

53、D. It is more common when people have small jobs to do. 【答案】A 【解析】推理判斷題。根據第一段Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.可知，拖延癥是我們出生就在我們的性格里面的東西，我們逃避一些枯燥或者困難的

54、事情直到太晚而什么都做不了，故可知，拖延癥是很多人無法擺脫的，因為天生就有，故選A. 13. In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should ______. A. attempt to overcome their natural tendencies B. take the advice of others in the same situation C. be aware that their problem is relatively small D. find out more a

55、bout the way they make decisions 【答案】A 【解析】推理判斷題。根據第三段“We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds.可知，我們進化為對當下的東西做出反應，而對未來的沒有前瞻性，故可知，要克服拖延癥，還必須要克服天性，故選A。 14.

56、 A. They are an alternative to impossible goals. B. They make challenges feel more manageable. C. They are an effective way of impressing others D. They allow people to achieve their aims sooner. 【答案】 B 【解析】推理判斷題。根據第四段These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete w

57、ith measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it more likely a task will be completed.可知，pre-commitments就是把一些似乎無盡的任務轉換成一些可以量化進步的具體事務，在截止日期前給自己一個月的時間讓任務完成得可能性更高，故可知，pre-commitments會讓自己的要做的事情更可控，故選B。 15.

58、What does the author do by saying the underlined sentence? A. Encourage the reader to develop plans effectively. B. Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly. C. Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized. D. Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a t

59、ask. 【答案】C 【解析】推理判斷題。本句意思為，最終解決拖延癥落實到了計劃，但是如果不小心，計劃本身就會成為拖延癥的一種表現(xiàn)，故可知，要計劃，計劃之后要立即落實，故作者說這句話的意義在于警告計劃不能太拖延，故選C。 E British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and h

60、appiness. Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a d

61、ay less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.” The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than n

62、ot this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours. British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or a

63、nxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common. Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaign

64、ers, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to gra

65、b them for themselves.” she says. 這是一篇議論文。文章主要介紹了一些英國公司的四天工作制度。 16. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. British people are the least productive in the world B. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day week C. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happiness D. Bri

66、tish people work longer and get more payment than other countries 【答案】 C 【解析】推理判斷題。答案定位在第二段The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”（ 該公司發(fā)現(xiàn)他們也取得了同樣的成績——甚至還有增長的跡象。“該計劃成功的關鍵，” Leigh說，“是我們的員工現(xiàn)在有多快樂。”）由此推斷出PR公司見證了員工幸福感的提升，故選C。 17. Which is the proper description of British working practices? A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit. B. In terms o
