Sound familiar? You arent alone. W
21、e all procrastinate (拖延) sometimes, especially when it comes to things we arent really fond of. And while the number of activities we delay doing in any given week varies from person to person, its fair to say that none of us is super-efficient 100 percent of the time.A study revealed that we spend
22、about 218 minutes procrastinating every day, which amounts to 55 days of lost time each year. We might not think these figures particularly worthy of worry, but when we look at the overall impact of procrastination on our lives, its a different story. Not only does this cost financial loss, it also
23、affects peace of mind. And procrastination isnt just a money thief it steals time too. In general, people who continually put things off are unhappier, as well as being less wealthy and healthy.So why do we do it? “When we avoid taking action, were really avoiding pain,” explains psychiatrist (精神病学家
24、) Phil Stutz.For most of us, pain avoidance isnt limited to one situation. It applies to almost anything thats painful. Most of us try our best never to leave a comfort zone. Thats why we sacrifice something much more valuable: time. “Our time on earth is limited,” Stutz adds. “Every moment is an op
25、portunity well never have again. Procrastinators act as if they have all the time in the world. But deep down, they know theyre wasting parts of their life. The trouble is, most of them dont know how to free themselves.”One way he says we can reach this level of freedom is by overcoming the pain of
26、avoidance using daily visualization (想象). “Picture the pain youre avoiding as a black cloud in front of you,” Stutz says. “Notice how youre fed up with the ways this pain has held you back in life, and tell yourself that youre determined to conquer it. Then its time to get through the cloud and to t
27、he other side where youre free.” It is obvious that this tool works when we want to procrastinate. We then get into the habit of moving “towards” pain instead of away from it.In addition to the fact that procrastinators suffer more health problems, procrastination also destroys teamwork and personal
28、 relationships because it shifts the burden of responsibilities onto others. So next time you think about putting something off, remember the impact it will have. Experts insist: procrastinators can change their behavior, it takes a lot of self-work but in the end, its worth the effort. And start to
29、day, not tomorrow.41. The writer begins the passage by _. A. presenting abnormal thingsB. asking related questions C. mentioning habitual activitiesD. comparing different opinions 42. By saying “its a different story”, the writer thinks procrastination _. A. leads to different results for different
30、persons B. is likely to have bad effects on peoples life C. may not be particularly worthy of concern D. tends to cause unhappiness among people43. According to the passage, people procrastinate because they_. A. get accustomed to taking actionB. prefer to stay in the comfort zone C. dont know how t
31、o free themselvesD. are not aware of the limited time44. One possible way to stop procrastination is to _. A. overcome it mentallyB. avoid the pain C. take some self-work D. reach the freedom 45. Whats the writing purpose of the passage? A. To analyze the trouble procrastination causes. B. To show w
32、hat contributes to procrastination. C. To solve the problems caused by procrastination. D. To encourage people to defeat procrastination.B Below is a page adapted from About Wikipedia (维基百科) on how to take full advantage of Wikipedia.Wikipedia is a web-based, free-content encyclopedia (百科全书) in many
33、 languages.Exploring WikipediaMany visitors come to Wikipedia to acquire knowledge, while others come to share knowledge. At this very instant, dozens of articles are being improved, and new articles are also being created. Over 3,500articles have been listed by the Wikipedia community as featured a
34、rticles. Another 15,000articles are listed as good articles. Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English. Its related projects include a dictionary, quotations, books, manuals, and scientific reference sources, and a news service. All of these are kept, updated, and managed b
35、y separate communities, and often include information and articles that can be hard to find through other common sources.Basic navigation in WikipediaWikipedia articles are all linked, or cross-referenced. In every article, there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-
36、depth information. Holding the mouse over a certain link will often show to where the link will lead. There are other links towards the ends of most articles, for other articles of interest, related websites and pages and so on. Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions, audio-book
37、 readings, quotations, the same article in other languages etc.Using Wikipedia as a research toolWiki articles are never considered complete and may be continually edited and improved. Over time, this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing agreement over a representation of in
38、formation. Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start. Indeed, many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint; and, after a long process of discussion, debate, and argument, they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through a
39、greement. Others may, for a while, become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some timemonths perhapsto achieve better balanced coverage of their subject. Wikipedia vs. paper encyclopediasWikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias. Wikipedia has a very low “
40、publishing” cost for adding or expanding entries and a low environmental impact in some respects, since it never needs to be printed. In addition, Wikipedia has wikilinks instead of in-line (内嵌) explanations and its articles provide not only summaries but also plenty of details. Additionally, the ed
41、itorial cycle is short. A paper encyclopedia stays the same until the next edition, while editors can update Wikipedia at any instant, around the clock, to help ensure that articles keep up with the most recent events. 46. We know from the passage that Wikipedia_. A. provides very accurate informati
42、onB. offers links to most leading media C. covers rich resources of knowledgeD. comes available in any language47. The underlined word “they” in the passage probably refers to “_”.A. usersB. articlesC. editors D. subjects48. The links in Wikipedia to other resources are mainly to_.A. provide details
43、 of the same articlesB. help the users to be better informedC. guarantee the quality of the serviceD. offer basic guidance on web research49. The passage is presented in a way of _.A. discussionB. descriptionC. instruction D. summary C Studies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10
44、to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you dont look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other peopl
45、e. Women lie more to protect other people. If youre married, youre going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If youre unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, its because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lyings a
46、cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes were willing to lie for the sake of social dignity (尊严), maybe to keep a private secret. Lying is complex. Its woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. Were deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reason
47、s, other times just because we dont understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. Were against lying, but secretly were for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. Its as old as breathing. Its part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dan
48、te, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.Lying has great value to the evolution of human being. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We human like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry,
49、pause, wait to see whos coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control via flattery (讨好). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. By the time you enter college, youre going to lie to your mom in on
50、e out of every five interactions. By the time we enter this work world to be breadwinners, weve entered a world that is just full of fake digital friends, business media, identity thieves, world-class cheats, in short, a post-truth society. What do you do? Well there are steps we can take to guide o
51、ur way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, were only 54% accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? There are clever liars and stupid liars. Therere no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques. 50. From Para.
52、1 we learn that lying is very _. A. harmfulB. easy C. interesting D. common51. According to the passage, a lie works when _. A. the liars words are sweet enoughB. it is given to a complete stranger C. someone gives the liar cooperationD. we are willing to lie for the dignity52. Lying is complex beca
53、use _. A. it is practiced by clever onesB. people are for it as well as against it C. ancient stories are full of liesD. it is the whole part of great culture 53. The examples of kids lying in the passage show _. A. lying is a sign of intelligent development B. lying is good for childrens growing up
54、 C. at what age childrenbegintotell lies D. 9-year-old childrenaremastersoflying54. What will the writer most likely talk about if he continues the passage? A. How to become clever liars.B. How to avoid stupid lies. C. How to get through the bushes.D. How to tell truth from lies. D You could feel so
55、rry for Alberto Torres, who is blind. The last thing he remembers seeing was his daughter being born 13 years ago. Then the world went blank; he can only imagine what his only child looks like now, as a teenaged honor student. Bad luck is no stranger to this warm and thoughtful 37-year-old man. His
56、mother died of cancer when he was 4, and his father, who was often ill, had to give him up to the care of the state when he was 11. He later worked for 19 years in a workshop making household goods, deathly boring work. Earlier this month, Alberto Torress wife, who had just been laid off from her jo
57、b, had to have a breast removed due to cancer and now faces a year of radiation treatments. Things seemed always to go from almost incredibly bad to worse. Even Mr. Torress good luck has a dark side: Five years ago, his lovely guide dog pulled him out of the path of a truck. Mr. Torres was not hurt.
58、 The dog was killed. But Mr. Torres does not feel sorry for himself. “These are just little bumps you have to go over in your life,” he said. At 5 a.m. on a recent morning, we caught up with Mr. Torres at a subway stop in Brooklyn, New York, near where he lives in a third-floor apartment (with no el
59、evator). He had been up since 3 a.m., feeding his new dog, making coffee, getting ready. “When youre blind, it takes a little longer to do things,” he said. Mr. Torres was beginning his two-hour trip to his job developing film in the X-ray department of the emergency room of the Bronx hospital. He w
60、ould take the G train to Queens Plaza station to the R train, heading towards Manhattan. He would then ride the R train to 59th Street where he would walk upstairs to switch to the Number 6 train. At one point along the journey, he might chat with a stranger. At another, someone would pat his dog, c
61、alling him by name. People offered assistance, even seats. At 125th Street, Mr. Torres would transfer to the Number 4 train by crossing the platform. At 149th Street, he would go down to the Number 2. He would take that to East 180th Street where he nearly always has a long wait for his final train,
62、 to Pelham Parkway. Then he and his dog would walk 20 minutes to the hospital. It was a hard job to come by. Before he got the job, Mr. Torres was determined to escape the workshop run by an organization dedicated to help people who cant see. He wanted a job developing X-ray film, something that eve
63、ryone must do in the dark. He had to handle the long trip, as well as the work. “Our philosophy here is that blind people can do just about anything except drive buses,” it was the thinking about disabled people at the Bronx hospital. “We find what a person can do rather than what he cant do,” said
64、the hospitals director. One day a while ago marked the first anniversary of Mr. Torress hiring. He developed 150 or so X-rays, his usual output, to celebrate. Mr. Torres works by himself in a small, dark room that smells of chemicals. He cannot wear gloves, because he needs to feel. It is hard work,
65、 related to emergency of lives. His immediate supervisor says he trusts him 100%. Mr. Torres makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation goes beyond money. “If I start feeling like a victim, that makes me bitter. And why be bitter? That makes you go into a hole and stay there.” he said. “Im not doing a
66、nything out of the ordinary,” insisted Mr. Torres as he quickly completed the task. 55. Mr. Torres became blind when _. A. his daughter was just bornB. he was thirteen years old C. his mother died of cancerD. his wife was out of work56. Mr. Torres does not feel sorry for himself because he _. A. was
67、 once saved by his lovely guide dog B. is taken good care of by the government C. thinks its natural to have setbacks in life D. believes it takes a little longer to do things 57. The description of Mr. Torress long trip to work shows _. A. the effective traffic systemB. the kindness of New Yorkers
68、C. the loyalty of his guide dogD. his will to overcome difficulty58. What is the principle of the hospital in employing a worker? A. Sympathy counts most.B. Ability comes first. C. Preference for the blind.D. Easy job for the weak.59. Mr. Torres works very hard in order to _. A. make plenty of money
69、B. win his supervisors trust C. live like a normal personD. complete his daily task60. In the eyes of the writer, Alberto Torres is a man of _. A. deep thinkingB. weak motivation C. special talentsD. great independence第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题（第6165题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出适合各段落的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中

71、 it can be difficult to find time to read more. Reading is important, however, for a range of reasons: It improves cognitive (认知) ability, enriches vocabulary, helps with spelling and increases general knowledge. Just having an intention to read more wont guarantee you actually do it, though. You ne
72、ed a series of strategies, exploring a way to train yourself to read more.61. _ You dont need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer. Consider how much free time you have in a day, then set aside part of that time for reading. Make sure this is
73、a feasible (可行的) goal start small, say, 30 minutes. Each day, use your timer and read for the amount of time you set. After a week, increase your time. The increase doesnt have to be much, perhaps an additional 15 minutes. As weeks go by, continue adding the same small amount to your reading time. B
74、efore you know it, youll be reading for two or three hours per day.62. _Before you begin training to read more, take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week. Once youve gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount, increase it slowly. Try to read at least an additional
75、 510 pages per week. Youll probably be able to sneak these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort. You could, for example, read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if youre alone. Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day. Keep track of how man
76、y pages youve read each week so you can see your progress.63._ Technology doesnt have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact, you can make use of your electronic devices. Invest in an e-reader, if you can, or use a tablet to read books. This will save you having to carry around a heavy book, a
77、nd because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet, youll always have plenty to read. You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.64._Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm, these can quickly d
78、isappear if you dont devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself. These rewards dont have to be large or expensive. You could reward yourself with something, such as chocolate or a small gift, each time you hit a reading goal, whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time. Or, if
79、 youre feeling charitable (有善心), donate a small sum of money to your favorite cause each time you hit your goal.65._Reading is mainly an individual activity, but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more. Join a local book club, and if your library or town doesnt hav

Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads, PaperBack Swap or BookLamp, if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts.
