答案

小题21:D
小题22:A
小题23:C
小题24:B
小题25:C
小题26:C
小题27:B
小题28:A
小题29:D

小题36:D
小题37:B
小题38:C
小题39:B
小题40:A
解析

小题21:D 由下文They found a home in flames.可推断出此处应为 fire
小题22:A 由下文“That home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the plant.”可知失火的是Fred Jones的家,故此处填home
小题23:C 根据上下文反复提到John和Mary驾驶着汽车,故选项为C
小题24:B  John说,那是Fred Jones的家,又说或许他们能做点什么,即提供帮助(救火)。中间这句应该是说Fred Jones 这个时间不会在家,所以应该是be off works(还没下班)。
小题25:C  A和B项不符合语境,显然Mary的态度很激烈,要John不要管闲事,所以要用require。而disagree一般用于某人不同意或反对某时或某事,用在此处不合适
小题26:C 根据语境来看,房子正在燃烧,因此此处要用flames
小题27:B 情况危急,John抓住woman的肩膀,因此要用seize her by the shoulder,而不可能是推,故不选push
小题28:A 下文讲到John冲进地下室,故A正确
小题29:D 情况紧急,John冲入地下室,故选rushed
小题30:D   terribly此处意为“极度地、非常地、骇人地”,房子因失火而热浪滚滚,极其热,热得吓人;而heavily一般用于猛烈地、大量地、严重地,搭配不合适
小题31:B 当他带着两个孩子离开的时候,听到还有哭声,因此用as
小题32:B  John把孩子救出,递到外面等候的人手中,故选delivered
小题33:C 参看第32小题解析
小题34:D 根据下文,他终于把两个孩子都找到了,关键词语是both,故此处应为two
小题35:A  Mary要他不要再回去了,因为房子马上就要倒塌了,所以此处应为dangerous
小题36:D 此句说虽然Mary劝阻,但John还是冲进浓烟弥漫的走廊,故选but
小题37:B  John在地下室找到两个孩子,浓烟中带着他们,行动艰难,危急时刻,人也会感觉时间过得很慢,因此应该是“总也走不到头的楼梯”故选B项
小题38:C 虽然在浓烟中看不清,他也并没想到会是自己的孩子,所以虽感觉熟悉,却也很奇怪,故说strangely familiar
小题39:B 带着孩子冲出烈焰浓烟,在阳光下他看清了的确是自己的两个爱子
小题40:A  rescue救;found,找到;lost,失去;missed,失去, A 符合语境

A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do -one was to make her bed-from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my idea.
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years-and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破). One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade – offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. The point is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.
小题1:What is the solution to the problem of managing time?
A.Doing more exercises every day.B.Taking time to visit friends regularly.
C.Stopping making bed occasionally.D.Doing what you want to do first.
小题2:What does the word “beaming” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.WorryingB.SmilingC.DepressedD.Luckily
小题3:What is the major problem of most people managing time?
A.Most people do not take care of their health.
B.Most people put others’ needs ahead of their own.
C.Most people cannot keep balance on managing time.
D.Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward people’s problems in the passage?
A.Matter – of – fact.B.Negative.C.Indifferent.D.Worried.
