2018-2019学年重庆市某校高一（下）期末英语试卷
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节）第一节 （满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．
1. I was always pretty independent, but living alone made me even more at peace． Living
alone helped me grow as a human being． Caitlin Moscatello had a similar experience:
"I was the queen of my own 400﹣square﹣foot﹣castle for three years, and looking
back, I can see that that short stretch of time was crucially important to establish my
independence． It started with small things: I negotiated my rent on my own, created a
household budget （预算） on my own, hashed out a savings plan on my own． I signed up
for half﹣marathons, and actually ran them． I tried hot yoga, and hated it, but whatever, I
tried it． And then, the results had a bigger payoff: I put in late hours at work, because I
didn't have anyone asking me ‘Will you be home for dinner? ' and got promoted． I met a guy
on one of many fun, little dates, and he turned out to be the love of my life． I also got
gutsier（有勇气的）: I traveled abroad alone, several times, without thinking twice about
it．"
I also think my time alone makes me a better partner now that I share my life （and my
space） with another person． The real secret of living alone? You're not living
alone, you're living with yourself． And the better you know yourself ﹣ what truly makes
you happy, melancholy, frustrated or bored ﹣ the better you can deal with it without
depending on others． Which means you won't be putting pressure on other people in your
life to do that work for you．
Living alone doesn't mean you become a hermit（隐者， 逸士）． In fact, you'll likely find
yourself more excited to see people and go out when your home space is all your own． And
studies have shown that single people get out more ﹣ to social gatherings, community
events, volunteering ﹣ than those who are coupled up． Or as Aletheia Luna writes, "It's
human nature to take our friends, family and loved ones for granted． Living alone, ________
the presence of others, helps us to appreciate these people more when they are around．"
