9、ed on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, take part
10、in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering whi
11、ch parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other peoples writing can one discover what works, what doesnt and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what vo
12、ice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clea
13、rer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experience

Which of the following can be the best title of this text? A. When do I read? B. How do I read?C. What do
16、I read? D. Why do I read?BA night at the movies is always a good idea. But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks, youll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix. The average movie ticket price in the United States
17、in 2000 was $5. 39; now, a ticket is over $9.The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is because of inflation(通货膨胀). It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now. A ticket in 1978 cost $2. 34. If you plug that into an inflation calculator, the same
18、ticket would cost you $9. 46 today. According to the National Association of Theater Owners, the average cost for a ticket today is $9. 11.Another reason you need to dip into your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their
19、own films, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. And lets be honest, sitting at home on your couch or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.Because of streaming technology, movie theaters have to do something to bring in customers. Attractions including alcohol, reclining seats
20、(躺椅), surround sound, and 3-D movies are all examples of that. And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.“Theres all that extra cost, and its really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible,” Patrick Corcoran, vice presid
21、ent of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. Because youre offering a superb experience audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology. Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience. 24. According to the passage, what makes movie tickets so ex
22、pensive?A. The viewers are wealthier than before.B. Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.C. The movie theatres offer popcorns, alcohol for free.D. The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.25. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the viewers actually pay
23、 for the updates of the movie theatres via more expensive tickets B. comfortable seats ensure movie theatres a distinct advantage over streaming services C. Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres D. the theater owners and companies update the theaters to win good fame26. W
24、hich of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with?A. Its unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.B. Its a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre.C. The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to be in line with a wonderful experi
25、ence.D. The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the couches or in the beds.27. What is the best title for the text?A. The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming Services B. Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres C. Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets D. How to Save the View
26、ers Wallets CThe latest research suggests a more prosaic(平凡), democratic(民主), even puritanical(严谨) view of the world. The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine(神圣) spark. Its not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success, even in areas like chess. Instead, its
27、deliberate practice. Top performers spend more hours (many more hours) practicing their skill. If you wanted to picture how a representative genius might develop, youd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average verbal ability. It wouldnt have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might
28、 gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared something similar-maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same ethnic background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would
29、give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fueling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end.
30、 This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. Shed be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly get some insight of its inner workings.Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practicing in this way, she delays the automatizing
31、process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practicing slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize(内化) a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who w
32、ould provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problemshow do I get characters into a roomdozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can
33、call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary thing she possesses is not some mysterious genius. Its the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that
34、 is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what were “hard-wired” to do. And its true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behavior.28. What does the underlined word“representative”in paragraph 1mean?A.
35、 descriptiveB. sensitiveC. typicalD. conservative29. By reading novels and writers stories, the girl could _.A. join a fascinating circle of writers somedayB. come to understand the inner structure of writingC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establis
36、h a sense of security30. In the girls long painstaking training process, _.A. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceB. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her successC. she acquires the magic of some great achievementsD. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to wr

38、ing motivation. 32 Pick a handful of things and write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work. 33 Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your
39、 values. If you want to achieve your goal, focus is the key here. 34 If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never finish your projects because they will take far too long. Set a time for success.Set a date for success. Know when you hope to realize your goal. 35 By setting a time limit, you
40、are making the process realistic. Dont give up because of failure.Failure cant be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure.

58、mpared with that in 2017.The so-called lazy economy refers to a new type of consumption of products and services which are designed to save time and labor. According to the report, many people of the post-1995 generation buy high-tech electronic devices such as floor mopping robots and automatic win
59、dow cleaners, which save the trouble of doing household chores. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery services are also popular among people born after 1995.Young people are willing to spend money on such products because they want to enjoy hard-earned leisure time after a busy and stressful day at work
60、 or school, reported Global Times. Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people tend to use their leisure time more efficiently. For example, Wei Duo, a 21-year-old college student, is a frequent user of take-out food delivery services. “I once had a birthday cake
61、 delivered to my friend who lives far from my home. It cost me 50 yuan but it saved me almost half a day that would have been needed to deliver it myself. My friend was also happy because she got to eat the cake instantly,” Wei told the Global Times.While the “lazy economy” might be convenient for y
