　　(2024·甘肅蘭州雙基過關)

　　Many of us deal with the rush every morning in preparation for work or school, but it doesn't have to be this way. With a little time management, these steps can help you cut down on your morning stress.

　　Create an evening preparation routine.

　　__1__ These simple tasks will take you less than 30 minutes to complete each evening and will save you a huge headache every morning.

　　Get a good night's sleep.

　　Make sure you start winding down for bed at a reasonable hour to allow enough time for a healthy night's sleep. __2__ If needed, set a bedtime reminder alarm on your alarm clock. Always keep the temperature in your bedroom comfortably cool.

　　__3__

　　An extra 30 minutes in the morning will make a difference. As long as you go to bed on time, waking up 30 minutes earlier should seem natural after just a few days. Use this time to think, shower and eat breakfast.

　　Plan a realistic day.

　　Writing things down means you don't have to worry about forgetting to do them. __4__ Write down anything that cannot be put off to the following day.

　　__5__

　　Getting up to face a new day is far more satisfying when you have something to look forward to. Make sure you manage your time better so that you have time to do something you love on a daily basis.

　　A. Morning stress is very common.

　　B. Schedule something you love daily.

　　C. Never fill your mind with unnecessary worries.

　　D. Make a summary of what you did in the daytime.

　　E. Wake up 30 minutes earlier.

　　F. Iron your clothes, locate your keys, plan a nutritious breakfast, etc.

　　G. Most people require seven to eight hours' sleep each night.

　　答案與解析　

　　語篇解讀　每天早上，我們都匆忙趕去上班，但我們合理安排時間可以緩解早晨的壓力。

　　1．F　根據空后的“These simple tasks will take you less than 30 minutes”可知，這些小事情花費你不到30分鐘的時間，那么空處應提到生活中的一些小事，故選F，意思是“熨衣服，找鑰匙，計劃一份營養早餐等”。

　　2．G　根據此段的標題“Get a good night's sleep.”可知，晚上要休息好，那么下文就會探討每晚睡多長時間是合適的，故選G，意思是“大多數人每晚需要7到8個小時的睡眠”。

　　3．E　根據此段中的“An extra 30 minutes in the morning will make a difference.”可知，早上額外的30分鐘會產生一定的影響，那么此段談論的應該是早上要早起，故選E，意思是“早上要早起30分鐘”。

　　4．C　根據空前的“Writing things down means you don't have to worry about forgetting to do them.”可知，寫下這些事情意味著你不必擔心會忘了做它們，那么文章接下來應該說不要把一些不必要做的事裝在大腦中，故選C。

　　5．B　根據此段中的“Make sure you manage your time better so that you have time to do something you love on a daily basis.”可知，管理好你的時間以便你每天都有時間去做一些你喜歡的事情，故選B，意思是“每天安排點兒你喜歡做的事”。

　　三、語法填空

　　(2024·遼寧沈陽質檢)

　　Freeflyers: Modern Skydivers

　　Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at __1__ awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour. You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth. And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute (降落傘) cord. You are falling __2__ fast that just turning your head can send you off __3__ a different direction. This is the wild side of the sport—freeflying that has not found its limit.

　　Freeflying __4__ (base) on the more traditional skydiving, __5__ of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers, __6__ the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous (自發的) thrill of doing their own things.

　　The wildest trip for a freeflyer is falling “head down”. Falling “head down” requires a great deal of control, which means __7__ (travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the slightest movement has a great effect on your direction.

　　They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes. __8__ (actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydivers' parachutes. It is only in the last few years __9__ freeflying has gained some real public __10__ (accept)．

　　答案與解析　

　　語篇解讀　本文主要介紹了一種極限運動：freeflying。

　　1．an　考查冠詞。at a/an...speed意為“以一種……的速度”，因awesome以元音音素開頭，故此處應填an。

　　2．so　考查固定結構。so...that...是固定結構，so修飾副詞fast，表示程度，that引導結果狀語從句。

　　3．in　考查介詞。in a different direction是固定結構，意為“朝著一個不同的方向”。

　　4．is based　考查動詞的時態和語態。根據語境可知，此處應用一般現在時，freeflying與base為動賓關系，故此處應填is based。

　　5．both　考查代詞。此處用both指代freeflying和skydiving。

　　6．as　考查關系代詞。as引導非限制性定語從句，意為“正如”，在從句中作賓語，從句位于先行詞之中。

　　7．travel(l)ing　考查固定用法。mean doing(sth.)表示“意味著做某事”。

　　8．Actually　考查詞性轉化。此處用副詞修飾整個句子。

　　9．that　考查強調句型。所強調的不是“人”，故用that構成強調句型的基本框架。

　　10．acceptance　考查詞性轉化。根據空格前的some可知，此處應填名詞。

　　四、短文改錯

　　(2024·云南昆明檢測)

　　I can never forget the day then I went to have a piano test. Unluckily, an examiner who appeared rather serious and strict was sitting in the room.

However, when I entered the room, it suddenly occurs to me that I could take this as a rare and precious chance to challenge me.

　　范文　

　　Dear Mr. Smith，

　　I'm writing to sign up for one of the courses that you will offer.

　　Frankly speaking, I think I'm doing well in English because I always get good marks in the written English tests. But I'm not so good at spoken English, and that is what troubles me most. Besides, I find it hard for me to talk with native English speakers. So I decide to enter the spoken English course so that I can communicate with others freely and fluently in English. I promise I'll try my best to learn it well.

　　I would appreciate it if you could approve my application.

　　Yours sincerely，
