• 1．If you have difficulty deciding on your book list，the following ideas shared by some great talents might help you out.
     Read books from eras past // Albert Einstein
     Keeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job，but Albert Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works，too.Otherwise，you'd be "completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times，" he wrote in a 1952 journal article.
     Don't jump too quickly from book to book // Seneca
     Seneca，a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher，believed that reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. "You must spend much time among a limited number of master thinkers，if you would gain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind，" he wrote.
     Shop at secondhand bookstores // Virginia Woolf
     In her essay Street Haunting，Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand bookstores，where the works "have come together in vast flocks of various feather，and have a charm which the carefully chosen books of the library lack."
     According to Woolf，looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn't have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers，who are often much more selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners.
     You can skip outdated science works，but not old literature // Edward Lytton
     19th-century British novelist and Parliamentarian Edward Lytton was a firm believer in the value of reading old literature.
     "In science，read，by preference，the newest works；in literature，the oldest，" he wrote in his 1863 essay collection Caxtoniana. "The classic literature is always modern.New books revive and redecorate old ideas；old books suggest and inspire new ideas."
  
  （1）Who held the idea that great works should be digested？

  
  A．Albert Einstein.
  B．Seneca.
  C．Virginia Woolf.
  D．Edward Lytton.
  （2）What attracted Virginia Woolf to secondhand bookstores？

  
  A．A lower price.

     The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2，500 years ago.The way Dong singers use their vocal cords（聲帶） is different from how formally trained singers do.It is a folk chorus with multi-parts，no conductor，and no accompaniment.Organically growing from their natural surroundings，it is recognized internationally as "the sound of Nature."
     Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958，the Dong culture，their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs.As a Dong saying goes， "Rice feeds the body and songs enrich the soul".The Dong people sing right from their childhood.While not singing，they all work in their rice field.
     Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life，making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas.

     Kind-hearted，Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years.Now she has more than 300 students.Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.
     "Nowadays，more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities.Decades later，the Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs.We should do something just now.It's our mission.What is once lost might be lost forever，" added Guanmei.

• 3．Overly focusing on your goals may actually be counterproductive in the long run.Take it from an Olympic athlete.
     After Brenda Martinez，a US Olympic runner，lost her balance in the 800-meter run，she lost the race that would qualify her for the Olympics.Instead of focusing on her failure，she prepared to win in the next race. "The track doesn't care about your feelings，" she told New York Magazine Intelligence. "You've just got to move forward." She did indeed move forward and ended up winning third place in the 1500-meter race a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio.Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team，she concentrated on the process.
     Researchers from Harvard found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking，improper behavior and reduced motivation.
     When you become overly focused on achieving the goal，you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place.Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what's next.For example，some marathon runners experience what's called the "post-race blues".Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place.
     "After you set a goal，it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it；and to judge yourself based on how well you manage that process，" columnist Brad Stulberg said.
     Ultimately，changing your mindset from goals to process will lead you to achieve small victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals.It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment，regardless of the measurable outcome.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "counterproductive" in paragraph 1 mean？

  
  A．Influential.
  B．Harmful.
  C．Satisfying.
  D．Unpredictable.
  （2）What does the writer want to tell us by referring to Brenda Martinez's story？

  
  A．The ways to deal with failure.
  B．The process matters more.
  C．Determination means a lot for an athlete.
  D．The consequence of making the right decision.
  （3）Why may some marathon runners experience the "post-race blues"？

  
  A．Because they are satisfied with their achievements.
  B．Because they haven't gained what they want.
  C．Because they haven't got a further plan.
  D．Because they lose sight of their original purpose.
  （4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？

  
  A．How to set a long-term goal.
  B．The way to realize your aim.
  C．The benefits of fixing on the process.
  D．How to shift your focus from goal to process.

   On a beautiful Thursday of this April，Amy and Alan Green took their daughter Abbey out for a walk in the neighborhood.On their way back，Amy picked up a kite for Abbey from the Dollar Tree，blue with rainbows—there are a lot of rainbows decorating homes around the region these days，which helps make life less dull during the coronavirus pandemic.
   In the afternoon，Abbey took the kite out for its first flight.At first，the wind was perfect.It took the kite high in the sky.However，suddenly，the wind became much stronger and whipped the kite out of Abbey's hands in a moment.It sailed farther and farther and finally got stuck on the power lines next to a big tree，wrapping itself over and over again around the wires.Since the kite was too high for them to reach，the Greens could do nothing about it.Worried less about the kite than the potential danger it might present to the lines，Amy called National Grid to report the incident.
   About one hour later，Mike，a worker from the power company arrived.He carefully unwound the kite line from the wires.After about 10 minutes' effort，he successfully freed it.But unfortunately，as the kite was wrapped so tightly，there was some unpreventable damage.Still，he presented it at the door to Alan Green.As he left，he noticed Abbey took the kite to the backyard.Out of curiosity，he stood there for a while to see how the girl would deal with it.Surprisingly，she dug a hole and buried the kite in a shoebox!Even though he could not see the girl's face clearly，he knew exactly how sad Abbey could be.He really felt bad for her.And it was at that moment that he decided to do something.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
