A[2019·武汉市质检]Sometimes we start a day with the previous day still in mind. We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.Here are some steps on how to start your new day:1.Take time to evaluate your dayAt the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly. This won't do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract (获得) lessons which you can bring to the following day.2.Make a commitment to apply the lessonsAfter you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so, find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them. You may write them down if you want to.3.“Close” your dayAfter you have spent the time thinking about the day and extracting the lessons, make a decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don't think about it anymore.4.Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing elseAfter you “close” a day, you should not bring anything out of it to the next day except for the lessons you extract. Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to start your day without the burden of yesterday.【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了如何开始你新的一天。

ADar and I loved to dance. It was probably the first thing we did together, long before wewould share our lives.We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost everySaturday night. Dar was seventeen, and l was thirteen, when we first danced. He was one ofthe best dancers on the floor, and so was I.We always jitterbugged. No slow dancing for us;nothing remotely romantic.Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch. Every once in a while, Dar's dadwould smile a little and say, to no one in particular, but my dad could hear, "Boy, my kidcan sure dance." My dad never blinked an eye; he acted like he'd never heard. But a whilelater he would say, to no one in particular, "That girl of mine can sure dance."Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in WorldWar II.When we met again, Dar was twenty-two, and l was eighteen. We began to date anddance again. We were as good together as we remembered, and this time we added slow dancing.For us, life is a dance,a movement of rhythms, directions, stumbles, missteps, at timesslow and precise, or fast and wild and joyous. We did all the steps.Two nights before Dar died, the family were with us. We all ate dinner together, and Darsat with us. He hadn't been able to eat for several days. After dinner,I put on a Nat KingCole tape. Dar took me in his arms, weak as he was, and we danced and smiled. No tears for us.We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years.

At a Tube station ticket office.C. On Eurostar trains.D. At Gatwick Express ticket offices.CBorn in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success.In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to HarvardUniversity.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university– an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature – not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use – while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends,that they launched “The Facebook‖, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision – to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure.The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is d ebatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook,and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.8.

The Development of FacebookDHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or ―blast from the past,‖ as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did.Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave t he groups three different types of ―listen-and-repeat‖ learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish.After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four outof five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’swebsite Dr. Ludke writes, ―This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.‖12.The ―song‖ mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A.recall the pastB.attract the readersC.introduce the topicpare the childhood with the present13. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romancelanguages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English14.Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A.singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D.Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.15.In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A.A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B.A child is going to have his first music lesson.C.A student is going to learn a new English song.D.An American is going to learn some Chinese.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。
