　　第12练　阅读＋七选五＋短文改错＋书面表达

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　体裁：说明文　话题：海洋生365　时间：7′

　　There are many dangerous sea creatures in the world.The following are some examples.

　　The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical (热带的) waters.But they can also break__cover the water，and once in the air they can become dangerous flying swords.Though it is rare，people have been seriously hurt and even killed when stabbed by the fish's sharp and long jaws (下巴)．Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.

　　Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest crocodiles，sometimes reaching 23 feet in length and topping 2，200 pounds.Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly，lying in wait below shoreline waters to attack crabs，turtles and thirsty animals that have come to drink.Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.

　　There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain.The world's largest fish can weigh at over 5，000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet.Great white sharks have about 3，000 teeth，which they typically sink into sea lions，seals，small toothed whales，and sea turtles.These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.

　　The sea anemone

　　(海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named，but fish that swim too close may regret it.The sea anemone，which lives on the sea floor，uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.

　　The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous.Scientists believe that the world's seas hold some 1，200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about 50，000 people per year.But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.

　　They also hosted a reception with a picnic，drinks，jazz music

　　and dance，all

　　on

　　their unbelievably low budget.However，apart from the ￡ 70 they had to pay by law for their marriage fees，their only expense was a pound on Georgina's second－hand wedding gown (礼服)，with everything else donated or sourced for free.

　　It's reported that the average cost of a wedding in the UK is up to ￡20，000.However，Georgina said，“I didn't see the point in spending a huge amount of money on weddings，considering the day was supposed to be about marrying the person you loved and for us all that mattered was that we were becoming husband and wife.We didn't want or need a big，fancy affair.”

　　Georgina met singer－songwriter Sid at an art celebration in 2009，proposed (求婚) in Berlin last year，and then they started planning their big day.As they are both crazy about recycling，they decided to keep their wedding as simple as possible.Georgina said，“We wanted a small and cheap wedding，which was a natural thing for us.We enjoyed doing something a little different from everyone else，being excited to plan it all.”

　　Ⅱ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction for a job well done.__9__Here are five ways to help you do just that：

　　1．Empty your inbox(收件箱)．

　　__10__ You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life.If you want an empty inbox，it means everything is in a particular spot：either in the trash，or sent to someone else.

　　2．__11__

　　If you leave a tiring and undesirable task until the next day，you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of fear.On the other hand，try to complete the task before you leave the office，and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory.

　　3．Do something nice for someone else.

　　The key here is intentionality(意图)．Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life—a partner，friend，family member，customer，etc.__12__It is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself.

　　4．Say thank you.

　　Take a moment before you shut things down for the day to be thankful for your life.__13__ When you feel grateful to people around you，you will get a new idea on the difficulties of any given day.

　　A．Finish the task as far as possible before you leave.

　　B．Regardless of what else has happened in a day，ending it with thanks is a rewarding approach(奖励方法)．

　　C．Determine what will make tomorrow special.

　　D．You will feel better when doing a good deed to others.

　　E．Nothing else throughout your day could possibly be so bad.

　　F．In fact a whole unproductive day can end with just 15 hyper－productive(高效的) minutes.

　　G．Keeping your inbox empty makes you more effective.

　　答案　

　　9．F　[根据全文内容可知，本文主要讲述的15分钟就能够把低效的一天变得熠熠生辉。]

　　10．G　[根据下文“You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life.”可知，在一天结束前，当你发现自己的收件箱

　　11．A　[根据下文内容可知，如果你把最烦人最不想完成的任务留到第二天才做，即使你离开了办公室，你的头上还会笼罩着一朵乌云，伴随着阴森的恐怖感，让你无法放松。不过如果你在下班前把这些任务都完成了，你就会充满自由感和胜利感！由此可知，你应该在离开办公室之前尽量完成工作。]

　　12．D　[根据本段小标题Do something nice for someone else.及上文“Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life—a partner，friend，family member，customer，etc.”可知，本段建议与人为善，在一天之末为别人做点有意义的事情，无论是同事，朋友，家人，还是客户。由此可知，你为别人做好事的时候，会感觉很好。]

　　13．B　[根据下文“When you feel grateful to people around you，you will get a new idea on the difficulties of any given day.”可知，当你常怀感恩之心，你就会以新的角度看待所遭遇的不顺。由此可知，空格处建议无论这一天还遇到了什么事情，以一种感恩的心态结束它是不错的选择。]
