　　(2016·甘肃兰州双基过关)

　　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.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　每天早上，我们都匆忙赶去上班，但我们合理安排时间可以缓解早晨的压力。

　　1．F　根据空后的“These simple tasks will take you less than 30 minutes”可知，这些小事情花费你不到30分钟的时间，那么空处应提到生活中的一些小事，故选F，意思是“熨衣服，找钥匙，计划一份营养早餐等”。

　　2．G　根据此段的标题“Get a good night's sleep.”可知，晚上要休息好，那么下文就会探讨每晚睡多长时间是合适的，故选G，意思是“大多数人每晚需要7到8个小时的睡眠”。

　　3．E　根据此段中的“An extra 30 minutes in the morning will make a difference.”可知，早上额外的30分钟会产生一定的影响，那么此段谈论的应该是早上要早起，故选E，意思是“早上要早起30分钟”。

　　4．C　根据空前的“Writing things down means you don't have to worry about forgetting to do them.”可知，写下这些事情意味着你不必担心会忘了做它们，那么文章接下来应该说不要把一些不必要做的事装在大脑中，故选C。

　　5．B　根据此段中的“Make sure you manage your time better so that you have time to do something you love on a daily basis.”可知，管理好你的时间以便你每天都有时间去做一些你喜欢的事情，故选B，意思是“每天安排点儿你喜欢做的事”。

　　三、语法填空

　　(2016·辽宁沈阳质检)

　　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 (降落伞) 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 eye­catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers, __6__ the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous (自发的) 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)．

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　本文主要介绍了一种极限运动：freeflying。

　　1．an　考查冠词。at a/an...speed意为“以一种……的速度”，因awesome以元音音素开头，故此处应填an。

　　2．so　考查固定结构。so...that...是固定结构，so修饰副词fast，表示程度，that引导结果状语从句。

　　3．in　考查介词。in a different direction是固定结构，意为“朝着一个不同的方向”。

　　4．is based　考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知，此处应用一般现在时，freeflying与base为动宾关系，故此处应填is based。

　　5．both　考查代词。此处用both指代freeflying和skydiving。

　　6．as　考查关系代词。as引导非限制性定语从句，意为“正如”，在从句中作宾语，从句位于先行词之中。

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

　　8．Actually　考查词性转化。此处用副词修饰整个句子。

　　9．that　考查强调句型。所强调的不是“人”，故用that构成强调句型的基本框架。

　　10．acceptance　考查词性转化。根据空格前的some可知，此处应填名词。

　　四、短文改错

　　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，

　　Li Hua
