21、Motivation plays a role in almost everything we do. From getting out of bed in the morning to dealing with a chore or going after a new role at work, it's finally the sense of motivation that drives us from beginning to completion of any task that life throws to us. 【1】 They can complete daily tasks without a second thought and remain efficient from morning to evening. Others, however, may struggle to find a sense of motivation for different reasons. Fortunately, here are a few ways you can introduce motivation into your daily routine.

●Create attainable goals. Feeling stressed because of a goal or a project is normal. Even if the task is a big one, you can break it down into small goals to work your way to the finish line. For example, if you have a difficult project coming up, don't wait until the last minute to begin. 【2】 This will make you feel challenged, while also allowing you to feel as if you've completed important activities.

●【3】 By rewarding yourself one thing at a time or at the end of the day, you can also teach yourself to be a more motivated person. This is about treating yourself for good work! Every time you complete a task, you know you're going to get a reward. Likewise, if you don't complete any task, you won't get a reward. 【4】

●Create positive habits over time. 【5】 In order to make motivation a positive habit, a person needs to try and start completing activities every single day. Of course, it is fine to miss a day here and there but that should be done cautiously.

A．Reward yourself.

B．Assess rewards for different achievements.

C．Some people find motivation easy to come by.

D．Instead, make a list of achievable goals for each day.

E．It usually takes around two months to develop a habit.

F．So, over time, you associate rewards with being motivated.

G．It is not difficult to develop a positive habit related to motivation.

22、There are many idioms in English. An idiom is a phrase that we can’t understand from the meaning of each word. The following are some of them.

As the crow flies

When a bird flies from place to place, it takes the most direct route. But when people drive, they have to follow roads and often go farther. When people give a distance “as the crow flies”, they mean the shortest distance between the two points, not the distance you would have to travel by following roads.

As Dan and his mum drove along the river, they could see the beach on the opposite side, Dan asked “How far is it to the beach?”

“It’s only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies,” his mother said.

Blow hot and cold

In one of Aesop’s Fables, a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down. In both cases, the man is opening his mouth, but what comes out is different. If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.

“Is Felicia going to tryout for the soccer team this year?” Stacy asked.

“I don’t know,” Tricia replied.” Last week she was saying yes, but this week she’s saying no. She’s really blowing hot and cold.”

Break the ice

Nowadays people use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation.

It was the first day of summer camp. The four girls began to make their beds in silence. None of the girls knew each other, and no one knew what to say.   Finally, one of them broke the ice by saying   “Hey, where’s everybody from?”

Bury the hatchet

In native American culture, when two nations agreed to end their war, they buried the hatchet. So to bury the hatchet is to make peace with someone else.

Colin could not excuse his sister for breaking his tennis racket. Finally, his sister said, “Colin, can’t we bury the hatchet?”

23、Once an old man rose early to read each morning. His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather, so tried to emulate him every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read just like you do, but I don’t understand most of it, and I forget whatever I do understand immediately I close the book. So what good is it for me to read?”

The grandfather, who was putting coal on the fire, said, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

The boy did as told to, but the water leaked out before he could get the basket home.

The grandfather laughed, saying, “You’ll have to move a little faster.” This time he ran faster, but again the basket emptied. Out of breath, he decided it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket (桶). But the grandfather said, “I want a basket of water instead of a bucket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”

The boy knew what he was trying to accomplish was impossible. However, he decided to show his grandfather a third time.

The boy dipped the basket into the river and ran as hard as he could. With the empty basket, he gasped (喘气说), “See Grandpa? It’s useless!”

“So you think it useless?” the old man asked. ‘‘Then look at the basket.” To his surprise, the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out.

“My child, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but the words will change you inside and out. That is the work of reading in our lives.”

24、Imagine a set of people having a heated discussion in a room. The conversation can turn into a complete mess if there is no coordinator(协调员)to guide the chatter. Now, imagine the same situation taking place on roads. If people were to drive their cars randomly without caring about other vehicles, it could lead to chaos and result in accidents.

Although the purpose of a traffic signal is to regulate the flow of automobiles, traffic signals came into existence long before automobiles were invented. The idea for developing traffic signals began in the 1800s. It was in the year 1912 that the idea of having an electric traffic light popped into the head of an American police officer named Lester Wire. Two years later the first electric traffic light had become a reality and was fitted in the city of Cleveland Ohio. The first electric traffic light had only red and green lights.

By the year 1920, automatic traffic lights had become a huge success. They operated by changing their lights at fixed intervals of time. This sometimes caused unnecessary waiting for vehicles as the light would be red even when there were no vehicles passing from the opposite side. To remedy this, a microphone was fixed on the pole of the signal. And once the vehicle reached the signal all it needed to do was honk(鸣笛) and the light would change.

In the 1960s, with the invention of computers, traffic lights started to become computerized. At present, traffic all over the world can be monitored» so the lights can be controlled accordingly.

In the future, we will have connected vehicles that will be able to communicate with traffic signals and other vehicles. However, it will still all be a waste if we don't follow traffic rules. So, let's make a promise to follow traffic rules to ensure a smooth and safe drive for everyone on the road!

【1】What's the purpose of the first example in the first paragraph?

A．To attract readers to the topic.

B．To stress the effect of traffic lights.

C．To introduce the importance of order.

D．To show enthusiasm for the discussion.

【2】When was the first electric traffic light put into use?

A．In 1912.

B．In 1920.

C．In 1914.

D．In 1960.

【3】What does the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Bring up.

B．Deal with.

C．Put up.

D．Mix with.

【4】Which statement will the author probably agree with?

A．Traffic lights started to be controlled by computers in 1960.

B．Traffic lights can be changed casually to regulate vehicles travelling.

C．Traffic signals will continue to provide safer and faster travel for vehicles.

D．Traffic signals will be a waste without vehicles passing from the opposite.

26、阅读下面材料根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

From kindergarten to high school Jimmy, Patrick, Devon, and I had been growing together, almost forming a solid small group. At that time, others admired us very much and seemed difficult to join us.

We supported each other and spent all our time together. One day, at lunchtime, Jimmy, Patrick, Devon, and I began our regular routine of our lunches. I glanced across the busy cafeteria and saw the new student, Joel. He was holding his plate and waiting in lines.

He was tall, dark and handsome. He looked fresh and neat in a clean white shirt.

Patrick noticed him too. “Why’s the new kid dressed like the headmaster?” he asked.

“Joel’s cool. He’s in my English and history classes,” I said, I was about to offer an explanation, but Devon and Jimmy were beginning to laugh.

However, I kept the truth that Joel and I had become friends when we worked on a project together. Since Joel was a new student, not only in his class, but at the school, I made his time there much more pleasant. Since I was a new student, not only in his class, but at the school, he made my time there much more pleasant, too. He was really funny and I knew that he liked me. We discovered that we were both enthusiastic readers—something I would never admit to Patrick, Jimmy, and Devon. At the time, Joel was running for the president of the school book club.

I saw that Joel was walking toward us. “Don’t do it,” I thought, but in seconds he was at our table. My friends raised their eyebrows. Jimmy, Devon and Patrick piled their backpacks on the table and chairs so that there was no space left for another person to sit down. Patrick said, “I don’t think we have room.”

This awkward situation froze the air. I could feel Joel looking at me, but I stared at my lunch as if it contained precious pearls of wisdom instead of rice and beans.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After a long, uncomfortable pause, Joel left.

As I stared at the announcement, I knew I needed to apologize to Joel.
