三、完形填空(共30分)
In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading message. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no   36   for stillness.
And when we are   37   to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often   38  something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re   39  .
This comes at a   40   : we lose that time for   41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And   42   yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get   43  done.
Take a moment to think about   44   you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering   45   checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always   46   through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your   47   ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be   48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.   49   be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d  
50   it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more   51   .
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   52   you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too   53  . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   54  for it.
55   the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks or your money back”?
Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language which is easy to learn is the native tongue. Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the nation. Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How can they do it?
Some people try at home, with books or tapes; some use radio or television programs. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time. A few people have to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is easier to learn a language in the country where it is spoken in everyday life. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not nesessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and books will help. But they cannot do the students’ work for them.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36  had such a big influence   37   a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult.But now,   38  I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39   to express my own   40   on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41  experiences. There are still many things   42   me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43  youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44   . There are so many things around us that    45   our will. We can’t force life    46   our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47   it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48  the world. I think we should learn to accept   49  life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to   50   every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51  that they slip by and leave you feeling   52  . I realize that I’m not just living   53   myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54   . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55   that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

第二节:完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项.
I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.
Let us take a  36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an)  37  were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might   38  together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our  39  —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of  40  illness —are caused at least in part by  41  to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to  42  our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
On evenings when such talk is  43 , families could discover more active pastimes(消遣,娱乐. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a   44  together to watch the sunset  45  they might take a walk together.  46  free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in  47  than in a TV program.  48  report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,  49  at the college level.  50  is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different  51  of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the  52  ends, the TV net works might be forced to  53  with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的. How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years  54  television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can  55  childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.
