Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,the___45___breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air___46___by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improve ventilation(通风)and___47___ rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell is small but tall,and the rooms around it can___48___sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.___49___hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell,which“works just like a___50___”As a(n)___51___space between indoor life and the outdoor environment,a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside.But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.Evaporated water cools hot air,a process known as evaporative cooling which is___52___in Huizhou skywells.In the past,Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth.Skywells therefore have channels around them to___53___rainwater coming from the roofs.Though existing in China for hundreds of years,in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern___54___.Over the past two decades,however,due to a___55 ___of traditional Chinese architecture,skywell buildings have been making a comeback.41.A.Parallel with B.Different from.

Instead,she met a young man who,as she stated in a letter to the Boston Globe,was her new hero.56.Paula's accident on Squaw Peak is most likely the result of_________.A.the heavy blow caused by her mother's deathB.the slippery cliffs that resulted in many injuries and deathsC.her being less safety-conscious at the breathtaking views.D.her husband's neglect of care while accompanying her57.What does the underlined word“delirious”in Paragraph6mean according to the context?A.Unable to move.B.Unable to stay conscious.C.Unable to talk.D.Unable to think clearly.58.Why did Grand keep asking Paula questions?A.To distract her attention from the pain.B.To find out her condition.C.To encourage her to hold on.D.To get to know her better.59.What kind of person is Henry Grant according to the article?A.Dumb and brave.B.Decisive and sensible.C.Respectful and caring.D.Reserved and calm.(B)While writing plain English is no challenge,most of us struggle to find words or phrases to perfectly fall in place with the content.To help you improve your writing skills in English,we have collected some of the best web resources dedicated to this mission.Grammarly●Grammarly is one of the best online resources to grammarlysignificantly improve your vocabulary and writing.It isbasically an online word processor,which goes beyond others incorrecting over250types of English mistakes.Thespell-checker and vocabulary enhancer are the standout features of Grammarly.●Since the Grammarly app is also available for your web browser,you can simply install the extension and edit all of your Emails,social media posts,or any content that you create from your web browser.●Although Grammarly is offered as free installation,a premium plan does exist which costs around$29.95/month.Thesaurus●Thesaurus is one of the vital tools that every goodEnglish writer has in their storehouse.Building onvocabulary is essential and that is what Thesaurus justoffers.Thesaurus helps users by providing alternativewords and phrases to perfectly express themselves.It alsooffers the best collection of synonyms and antonyms.●Overuse of cliches.adverbs or bulky phrases is some examples of poor writing,which needs to be addressed.In this case,the Thesaurus has a collection of some of the most overused expressions that must be avoided in written English.●Sharpen your English skills with this powerful online and mobile application tool for free.

They're not.Louisiana has the highest murder rate among states.Prison,like the police and the courts,has a minimal impact on crime because it is a response after the fact,Ht doesn't work.The idea of punishing the few to discourage the many is fake because potential criminals either think they're not going to get caught or they're so psychologically distressed that they don't care.about the consequences of their actions.The threatened punishment,regardless of its severity,is never a factor in the equation.Prison has a role in public safety,but it is not a cure-all.The only effective way to contain crime is for society to work to prevent the criminal act in the first place.Our youngsters must be taught to respect humanity of others and to handle dispute without violence.It is essential to educate and equip them with the skills to pursue their life ambitions in a meaningful way.As a community,we must address the adverse life circumstances that breed criminality.These things are not quick,and they are not easy,but they are effective.Politicians think that's too hard a sell. They want something they can point to at re-election time.So the drumbeat goes on for more police,more prisons,more of the same failed policies.Ever see a dog chase its own tail?63,Which of the following situations is not regarded as a"silver bullet"?A Employing a roundabout way to help students correct their mistakes.B.Setting up refuges to shelter the homeless war victims.C.Training farmers with farming techniques to help them out of poverty.D.Adopting effective policies to save economy from worsening.64.According to the passage,law makers'failure to make proper legislation is due to the fact that_______.A.they are proud and boastful of high lock-up ratesB.they fail to address the root of the problemC.they don't treat people of different races alikeD.they give priority to precaution over punishment65.The idiom best describing the effective way to ease the severity of crime in Louisiana is_____A.turn over a new leaf.B.get a kick out of itC.an eye for an eye.D.prevention is better than cure66.What is the best title for the passage?A.Prisons—A Tool for Election.B.Why Prisons Don't WorkC.An Appeal from a Murderer.D.Why Society Is a Safer Place Section CDirections:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They are culturally distant,and so have far less borrowed European vocabulary too.B.This more than anything else accounts for the difficulty of the language.C.Indeed,none of the hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet used by most European languages.D.But foreign writing systems need not be difficult.E.The overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system,sounds,words and grammar.F.But just as hart is the problem of languages that make distinctions our language does notWhich Languages Take the Longest to LearnThe difficulty in learning a foreign language lies not only in its inherent complexity.The main reason a language is hard is that it is different from your own.What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English-speaker?The first thing many learners will think of is the writing system. ______67______Chinesestands out for its difficulty.It is commonly said that a learner must memorize around2,000characters to be able to read a newspaper.But even this estimate is criticized.Someone with2,000characters will still have to look up unfamiliar ones in every few lines of text.A second way languages can be hard is with sounds and distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language,To an English-speaker,the novelties include the clicks of many African languages._______68_______Mandarin and Cantonese have tones,meaning ma with an even pitch and ma with a falling one are different words.The vocabulary obviously matters too.Most European languages share an ancestor(called proto-Indo European)and so their words,too,often come in related pairs.If you know water in Spanish is agua,it is easy to figure out Italian acqua and English nguages unrelated to the European ones(Arabic from the Semitic family,or Chinese from the Sino-Tibetan one) will not only lack the“genetic”overlap in vocabulary.____69______.Finally,there is grammar.Many people associate tricky grammar with long lists of endings that change according to a word's use in a sentence Many languages even feature an ending on verbs indicating how the speaker knows the information to be true._____70_____If you want to learn a language just for fun,start with Swedish,If you want to accumulate an impressive number.Stay in Europe.But if you really want to impress. mastering Mandarin is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.IV.Summary Writing(10分)71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Does Reading Improve HealthWhen thinking about our well being and taking care of ourselves,some things that weshould do are harder than others.Reading is one of the easier ones.What follows are a number of ways in which reading can help maintain and improve health.Reading allows you to de-stress by unplugging and escaping.In one study,reading was found to be as effective as yoga and humor in reducing subjective feelings of stress over a30-minute period,as well as blood pressure and heart rate.Note that a good old-fashioned book or a dedicated eBook reader is the best way to do this.Readers may live longer than non-readers.One study found that this was supposed to be due to the effect that reading has on maintaining cognitive abilities over time.In another study of individuals aged64and over,those who read at least once a week were less likely to experience cognitive decline than those who did not.At the14-year mark of the study,and regardless of educational level,those who read more enjoyed greater protection.This effect is maintained into readers'80's.Bibliotherapy,or the use of various reading materials for the promotion of psychological health,is a well-known aid to mental health treatment.Bibliotherapy can consist of any type of literature and may include self-help books,focused readings,first-hand accounts of others' experiences,and even relevant fiction.This can be a powerful strategy and has been used successfully to reduce depression,suicidal thinking,anxiety,stress and etc.The benefits of reading are innumerable and reading is a low to no-cost activity.Cheap and no-cost books are everywhere,Public libraries continue to be one of the most amazing resources.If you aren't a natural reader,you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.第二卷V.Translation(15分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.虽然青少年爱和父母顶嘴,但是他们内心是尊重父母的。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. alertB. connectedC. correspondD. dismissE. embarrassedF. invaluableG. judgementH. pilotedI. respectfulJ. urgeK. wellbeingAre you listening? But are you really listening?You'd think we'd be very good at listening, but do we deeply listen? Sometimes we quickly___(31)___another's opinion if it doesn't fit neatly with our own. The British Council has launched a project Crossing Divides aimed to train young people to listen and understand other people with very different perspectives.Practicing deep listening means tuning into empathy (同理心),resisting the___(32)___to judge people who arc distinct from1 oneself. It develops important skills that will make anyone a better listener: empathy, silence and becoming aware of our___(33)___.The project was___(34)___in Lebanon, where it helped local people find common ground with each other, in a society divided by bitter years of conflict. People taking part in the project said they felt that they were being heard, helping them to feel recognized and understood, which opened com-munication between communities. All the participants greatly improved their listening skills, which proved___(35)___in their working and personal lives.They have also had a chance to be listened to and heard, which research shows can im-prove___(36)___. This is because we all feel accepted, valued and more___(37)___to others when we sense that we are being truly listened to, and the person listening to us doesn't have to agree with us for those benefits to be enjoyed.The project is also an opportunity for participants to feel the benefit of stepping outside their own “echo chamber (回声室)”. Echo chambers are created by our natural tendency to seek out people and opinions, in person and online, that we agree with, so we mainly see and hear information and opinions that___(38)___to our own. Not surprisingly this leads us to think our views are definitively correct, so we become___(39)___or even angry when we encounter perspectives that our worldview suggests are wrong, because they don't agree with our own echo chamber.So, training young people with deep listening skills can encourage many more people to take part in challenging and___(40)___conversations. Scott McDonald, the organization's CEO said: "The deep listening training gets to the heart of what we do by providing opportunities for people to step out of their echo chambers, to cross divides, and build trust and understanding.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Part of me has always wanted to be the kind of person who breaks the ice with a stranger.

How many tales of adventure began because someone had the___(42)___to say hello? Talking to someone I don't know___(43)___low-level fear, and I avoid it entirely.I'm not alone. In a 2022 study, Gillian Sandstrom, a psychologist, noted that people are "remark-ably___(44)___” about talking to strangers, despite research linking frequent social interactions with happiness. We tend to___(45)___the potential for negative consequences in such encounters, and actively avoid them. As a countermeasure, she gave participants “missions” that involved initiating conversations with strangers who met certain___(46)___(c.g., “Find someone who's wearing a hat"). The results were___(47)___Sandstrom's assumption: these interactions were far more pleasant than people expected them to be.Eager to test her theory, I gave myself a week to reproduce Sandstrom's assignment, which meant speaking to around 30 people. I had no___(48)___not to try: I live in New York City and encounter hundreds of strangers.One of my missions was to speak to someone who was eating. “Is that cream cheese?” I asked a guy on a park bench who was eating stuff. It___(49)___a little more disrespectful than I intended, but once he realized that I wasn't crazy, we had a(n)___(50)___conversation. When I spoke to an attractive woman on crutches (拐杖) for my task of engaging someone who “looks sad,” I was wor-ried she'd think of me as a pickup artist.___(51)___, she humored me when I told her about my knee issues.Here's a tip: asking strangers about the bonuses of talking to strangers can be an effective strat-egy.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Dear Doggy DiaryMONDAYNow we've surely got all we require for the puppy's arrival: a basket, a screaming toy banana and a bag of dog food. For names, we are hesitating between Spike or Lenny-but, as I tell this list to a Black friend, I suddenly realize both names are associated with famous Black men, and panic that this is a little offence.TUESDAYOur friend Sam has kindly volunteered to “puppy proof" our home. “You don't want to give him that screaming toy, that's encouraging him to eat your sofa,” she says, inspecting our purchases disapprovingly. She hands us a book, by Dr Ian Dunbar. “This guy", she assures us, “is a Super Babysitter for dogs. "WEDNESDAYSpent last night___(57)___Dunbar has plenty of wisdom on “positively communicating” with the puppy, but nothing on how to get a puppy and also two young children.THURSDAYD-Day. Now the registration website wants a dog name at short notice. So, we go for “Buzz". One syllable (音节) and with multi-generational fascination (Granny thinks Aldrin, kids think Lightyear).FRIDAYI feel very hesitant about saying so, but last night went well. Buzz is incredibly cute, the kids adore him and he's very cute and only did one pee (排尿)on the blanket, and did I mention he's cute?SATURDAY“Love” feels like a stretch right now. Our "play" was evidently not “focused” enough to prevent Buzz biting through our sofa. Also, our three-year-old thinks it's funny to run away, so Buzz wrestles him to the ground and licks all over his face. I suspect this isn't the best way to prepare Buzz for engaging with the public.SUNDAYThe whole house smells of dog. I find this nasty, but friends, family, and people we barely know existed are dropping by to meet him. “It's like having a baby, eh?” says my neighbor, Erik, brightly. “Yes, but it's a baby you can neglect when it cries!” I respond cheerfully. He frowns(皱眉). MONDAYIt's 2 A. M. on the coldest day of the year and I'm on my hands and knees in the bushes. I think you've never really experienced a harsh mid-winter until you're trying to run after a puppy. Then, we return inside, and it's just me and Buzz. Peace. I should put him back in his cage, but I find I can't resist a hug. Don't tell my wife.56. What does the phrase “puppy proof" our home mean in paragraph 2?A. Make our home clean enough for the puppy.B. Inspect our home to make it puppy-friendly.C. Prove that the puppy will satisfy our needs.D. Decorate our home with books on puppies.57. In the diary of “WEDNESDAY", a passage is missing. Which of the following plot best fits into the numbered blank?A. Picking a dog's name from a name list of Blacks.B. Looking over the house for potential safety hazards.C. Studying Dunbar's book on how to take care of a dog.D. Visiting Dunbar in person in order to adopt his puppy.58. Which of the following is the reason for naming the puppy “Buzz”?A. Other choices imply strong prejudice against Black people.B. Its pronunciation resembles the puppy's cute and short bark.C. The registration website recommends the name to the family.D. The name holds appeal to both the elder and the younger generations.59. Which of the following does the diary feature after the adoption of the puppy?A. Chaos and cuteness.B. Hatred and love.C. Mess and cleanliness.D. Abuse and affection.(B) DART II System60. The two objects circled at the bottom of the picture are probablysensorsC.anchors D.monitorsrelays B.A.61. What can be inferred about the buoy?A. The sensors fixed on the floating buoy record the sea pressure.B. It communicates with other devices through single-way signals.C. The buoy features direct connection to scientists and the monitor.D. It sends data collected from both the depths and surface of the ocean.62. DART II System is most probably designed to ___.A. detect upcoming tsunamisB. transmit satellite data to the seabedC. monitor marine biodiversityD. change the buoy into a ground station(C)More and more online shopping platforms now offer consumers a detailed look into products' historical prices. But how does this information influence buying decisions?To explore this question, we conducted a series of experiments with a total of more than 5, 000 business school students and working adults. We measured the impact of different kinds of price shifts on people's interest in purchasing products and identified several consistent trends: First, when consumers saw that the price today was lower than it had been in the past, they were more likely to buy now, because the current price seemed like a good deal.However, the picture gets more complicated when you consider the frequency of historical price shifts: In our studies, we found that if consumers were shown at least three changes in the same direction, they were likely to assume the price would continue to move in the same direction. While if they were only shown one or two changes in the same direction, they expected the price to change in the opposite direction.So what does this mean for sellers? It may be tempting to slowly lower the price over time. However, our data shows that this can lead consumers to assume that the price will continue to fall, making them hesitant to buy. But if they just see a single price drop, they're more likely to expect a reversal in the near future, pushing them to buy the product now.Our findings can also help buyers make more informed decisions about whether and when they choose to make a purchase. As with any irrational bias (非理性的偏见),awareness of the natural tendency to expect trends to continue and single large changes to reverse can help consumers question this assumption before acting on it. Instead of letting this arbitrary (武断的)expectation guide buying decisions, consumers may benefit by doing a bit more research around the underlying factors driv-ing price shifts. Buyers may also benefit from learning more about a product's longer-term price his-tory, fluctuations (波动),and typical industry-wide price ranges, to avoid being disproportionately influenced by near-term price changes. It's also always a good idea to think about both how urgent your need for a given product is, and your own risk tolerance for a potential price increase, as this can affect whether it's worth it for you to wait and see if the price falls.Of course, there are countless factors that influence both consumers' decisions around whether and when to buy and sellers' decisions around how to price their products. But it's important for both sides to recognize the key role that expectations play in influencing these decisions.63. Which of the following is true about the experiment?A. It proves that people’s interest in the product drives the purchasing behavior.B. E-commerce platforms turn to it to connect with customers and boost sales.C. It's designed to figure out the purchasing decision process based on pricing.D. Business school students make up the whole control group for comparison.64. Which of the following price trends might tempt consumers to buy on May 8th?65. Consumers are advised toA. decide on the assumptions that long-term price trend will continueB. research longer-term price history, price ranges and hidden factorsC. put off the purchase for better deals because of the unsustainable marketD. cooperate with sellers while putting aside the personal risk and urgency66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How do price changes influence buying decisions?B. Why should products' historical prices be shown?C. When is the best time for consumers to purchase?D. What do businesses need to price their products?Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Africa's digital workers are re-mapping the old geographies of labor.B. The internet creates new kinds of work, without any patterns of inequality.C. A former employee has taken both companies to court, accusing them of forced labor.D. Typical tasks include data entry, online marketing, or even writing essays for lazy students.E. Baraka Mafole, a student in Tanzania, organizes training events for navigating online platforms.F. Power cuts and competition for part-time jobs from cheaper workers in Asia and beyond create other challenges.Young Africans are logging in and clocking onHis home is Bungoma, a small town in western Kenya, but his workplace is the world. Kevin, who asks that his real name be masked to protect his credibility, has written about offices in China without ever going there. He has reviewed home-security systems he has never seen.___(67)___Freelances (自由职业者)on online platforms can reach clients around the world,mastering skills from blogging to web design. Optimists hope that online work can set Africa on the path of service-led growth dominated by countries such as India and the Philippines. Pessimists worry such work will breed injustices.Some are attracted to the work by the flexibility and pay; others because they cannot find a traditional job. There are advocates for freelancing.___(68)___“Now everyone is speaking about dig-ital jobs, ” he says. In Kenya the government's Ajira program runs support centers that aim to link a million Kenyans to online platforms and make the country a “digital center”.Freelances, like the wider outsourcing (外包)industry, “are fighting against a reputation of Af-rica as somewhere where you would not expect digital work to take place,” says Mohammad Amir Anwar of the University of Edinburgh,who co-wrote a book about Africa's digital workforce. Some African freelances use virtual pri-vate networks and fake names to pretend they are somewhere else.___(69)___.The available data suggest that it will take time for Africa to become a continent of digital free-lances. In 2019, Mr.Anwar and colleagues estimated that there were 120, 000 African workers on Upwork, the con-tinent's most popular platform--fewer than in the Philippines. Most did not seem to be making any money.Outsourcing practices have also sparked moral questions. At Astra (a live-streaming company) content-moderation center in Kenya run by Sama (an outsourcing firm), workers told journalists that they were mistreated and misled about the nature of their work. ___(70)___Finally, Sama discontin-ued its services for Astra this year. Technological change bounces in unpredictable directions. Could AI tools, previously trained by Kenyan workers, one day make these freelances such as Kevin unnec-essary?IV.

Keeping the Kids Eating HealthyFruits and vegetables are super important for kids to be able to grow up healthy and strong. Science recommends that children aged 2 to 18 get at least two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables each day. But getting kids to eat their fruits and vegetables is often easier said than done. If you need additional reasons to help your kids boost their intake, new research has found that stu-dents who eat more fruits and vegetables might have better mental well-being than those who eat less.A recent study published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health looked at 9, 000 students from across the U. K. About 7, 500 were in secondary school, and 1, 500 were in primary school. Students self-reported their diet and were given age-appropriate tests for mental well-being thatlooked al happiness, relaxation and healthy interpersonal relationships. The study found a strong as-sociation between eating more fruits and vegetables and higher mental well-being scores. However, only about 25 percent of the students met the recommendation of at least five servings of produce a day.Another interesting finding concerned breakfast, an especially important meal for school-age kids, as it provides the fuel they need to learn and function in general. However, the research found that more than one in five secondary schoolchildren and one in 10 primary schoolchildren didn't eat a standard breakfast at all, and many just had a snack or drink in place of a meal. Those who had a full breakfast had significantly better mental well-being scores than those who skipped the morning meal.In short, the findings suggest that eating a healthy diet that includes a full breakfast and at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day leads to the best mental-health outcomes for children. Unfortunately, many students surveyed were missing the mark with either fruits and vegetables, breakfast, or both. V.

张U高三英语专用资料 1 II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.
(A) We had to climb right up the hill , which is very steep, and ,when close under it , it seemed to be high, but we soon reached the top . When we were there, we had lost sight of the lake; and now our road was over a wild land.____25_____(go) a little way, we saw before us , at the distance of about half a mile, a very large stone building, with a high wall round it , neither field nor tree near.
The wild land was overgrown with grey grass that cattle might feed upon. We could not tell ___26_____ this building was. It appeared ___27____ _______ it had been built strong to defend from storms; but for what purpose? William called out to us that we should observe that place well, for it was exactly like one of the shelters of the Alps(阿尔卑斯山), ___28____(build) for the reception of travelers, and indeed I had thought it ____29_____ be so. This building, from its singular structure and appearance, made the place , which is itself in a country ____30_____ Scotland, remarkable.
When we ___31____(pass) it and looked back, three pyramidal mountains on the opposite side of Lock Lomond ended the view, ____32_____ in certain kind of weather might be very grand. Our highland companion had not got enough English to give us any information concerning this srange building . What we could only get from her was that it was a "large house", which was plain enough.
(B) All plants need water to grow. Watering plants seems like a simple task but it actually requires many considerations. For example , plants growing in areas with low rainfall or areas ____33___(expose) to dry wind require more water. On the other hand, plants which have a good adaptation to dry conditions or have the ability to store water in their cells require ___34_____(frequent) watering . The watering of plants should not be viewed as a minor process in gardening ___35______ this task plays an extremely important role in ensuring healthy plant growth. Let's first take a closer look at plants growing in gardens. Since watering is a critical gardening task, ____36___ accessible water supply is vital. A garden tap with a hose of sufficient length to reach the furthest part of the garden ____37_____(prefer). This tends to make watering much easier and ensures adequate water is provided for the plants. Most inexperienced gardeners water little ____38____very frequently. This is undesirable as it encourages shallow root growth. In addition, watering in full sun causes leaves to lose water quickly from the surface of the soil. Therefore, some experts recommend ____39______(install) an automatic watering system. As for plants growing in pots or containers, they tend to lose water rapidly. One way to reduce such a risk is ____40_____(group) the plants close together to keep moisture. Try to move them to a shady place if you are away from home for a few days. Otherwise, you will return home to see 张U高三英语专用资料 2 your plants dead.

The fortunate people in the world, the only really fortunate people in the world in my mind, are those whose work is also their pleasure. The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it is often ____41____ to be, and authors are perhaps one of the most important elements in its composition. They enjoy in this ____42 at least a real harmony of life. To my mind, to be able to make your work your pleasure is the one class distinction in the world worth striving for; and I do not ____43____ that others tend to envy those happy human beings who find their livelihood in the gay effusions (流露) of their fancy, to whom every hour of labor is an hour of ____44____ and even a holiday is almost deprivation (丧失). Whether a man writes well or ill, has much to say or little, if he cares about writing at all, he will appreciate the pleasures of composition. To sit at the table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible ____45 plenty of nice white paper and a pen is true happiness. With the complete absorption of the mind upon a(n) ____46 occupation, what more is there than that to desire? What does it matter what happens outside?
