While anytime is the perfect time to take a European vacation, there is something special about autumn. Here are a few places to consider when you are planning your own fairy tale European vacation this fall.
◆ Zaanse Schans—Netherlands
Just a short trip from the wonderful tree-lined city of Amsterdam is Zaanse Schans. You can explore traditional industries like wooden clog carving (木屐雕刻), barrel making, and participate in cheese tastings, visit the home of a fisherman, and even check out a working windmill.
◆ Hallstatt—Austria
Situated on Lake Halstatt, the town itself was known for producing salt. But it’s also known for its beauty and has been named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Start early at the town’s photo point to seize some of the most breathtaking shots of the location and yourself!
◆ Trondheim—Norway
Beautiful walking trails with both mountain and seaside views are the perfect way to start a refreshing fall morning before taking in the scene at the K-U-K art gallery or a visit to the largest medieval cathedral (中世纪大教堂). It is also surrounded by countless small and large-scale food producers.
◆ Mdina—Malta
With no cars allowed, the “silent city” has maintained an atmosphere of beauty and delight throughout time, and its mix of medieval and baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture, including palaces, gives the feeling that you are truly traveling back in time.
1. What can visitors do in Zaanse Schans
A. Operate a running windmill. B. Enter a cheese-making contest.
C. Experience traditional carving skills. D. Treat friends in a fisherman’s home.
2. Which place favors photography lovers

When I picked up The Woks of Life, a cookbook written by the Leung family, I was very excited. Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family’s history.
“We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic (流行病) with her parents and younger sister. “We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.”
The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. “Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. “I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.”
Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website, attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food.
I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking.
The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out.
4. Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy
A. It runs in the family. B. It is written by family members.
C. It includes the story of a family. D. It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes.
5. Which of the following best describes the Leung family
A. Easygoing and helpful. B. Faithful and energetic.
C. Devoted and considerate. D. Fortunate and thankful.
6. What does the author think of The Woks of Life
A. It is a typical Chinese cookbook. B. Its success lies in honoring tradition.
C. It offers building blocks for all cooks. D. It helps improve the author’s cooking skills.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Most Americans are used to eating out.
B. The cookbook has become a best seller.
C. American home cooks prefer Chinese cooking.
D The cookbook benefits the spread of Chinese cooking.
C
A relationship between the amount of adult speech children are exposed to and the concentration of myelin, a substance in the brain, has been found, researchers say.
“I think the take-home message is, absolutely talking to your kids. It’s literally shaping the structure of the brain,” says the lead author, Prof. John P. Spencer of the University of East Anglia.
The team find, for the 30-month-olds, larger amounts of adult speech are associated with higher quantities of myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; however, for the 6-month-olds, it goes the opposite way.
While the latter (后者) is unexpected, Spencer points out one possible factor: the brain’s stage of development.
“When babies are six months old, they experience massive growth of new nerve cells,” he says. “So the input comes in and may help extend the period of brain growth.” “While at 30 months, the brain starts to cut back some of the cell growth, and form specific connections. That’s where myelin comes in. So now the input starts to help structure the myelin,” he adds.
The researchers conclude adult speech is significant for both age groups and that the more adult speech children go through, the more sensitive they will be to language. The next step for them is to figure out whether the 6-month-old babies showing that negative connection will surely turn into 30-month-old kids who show positive relationship.
Dr. Saloni Krishnan, Reader in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) at Royal Holloway, University of London, who is not involved in the work, however, notes individual differences in language ability are linked to genetics. “Children who are exposed to more language at home and have higher myelination will also have inherited genes (经遗传获得的基因) from parents who are more excellent in languages,” she said. “No final conclusion could be made before this potential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently no standard around the amount of input children should receive, caregivers should not necessarily feel pressure to talk more to their children.”
8. Which can replace the underlined words “take-home message” in paragraph 2
A. Process. B. Reason. C. Point. D. Consequence.
9. What surprises the team
A. The finding for the 30-month-olds. B. The finding for the 6-month-olds.
C. How the input help nerve cells grow. D. How the input help structure the myelin.
10. What does the researchers think of adult speech
A. It is positively related to myelin. B. It cuts back some of the cell growth.
C. Its effect varies with the size of brains. D. It is helpful for both groups’ language ability.
11. What might Dr. Saloni Krishnan approve of
A. The team should do more research. B. Inherited genes decide language ability.
C. Parents must talk more to their kids. D. The concentration of myelin makes no sense.
D
Almost everyone knows the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”, which means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks. That message was clear at a recent event called the Human Library Project. The event took place at the Northern Virginia, or NoVa, Community College, outside of Washington. D.C.
The Human Library began 19 years ago in Denmark. It grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”. Today, it is a worldwide movement. At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person — a “human book” — instead of a library book.
Patricia Cooper organized the event. She said that human books celebrate variety by telling their life stories in an easy-going setting. The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.
This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event. The collection of human books included a civil rights activist, a scientist from the American space agency NASA, and an opera singer.
Artist Brian Dailey was a human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people whom he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words-such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different reactions to the same word.
When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice liberation and peace. When he asked the same question to people in Syrian refugee (难民) camps, the answer was: “tears, hunger, fear, destruction”.
12. According to the text, how to understand the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
A. Readers may miss a lot if they read a book just between lines.
B. People can learn more life lessons from others in the human library.
C. People can really understand the value of a book in the human library.
D. Readers can't underestimate the worth of a book because of its plain cover
13. What’s the purpose of organizing the human library
A. To provide more information for readers B. To satisfy the needs of the new generation
C. To make people communicate with each other. D. To improve the environment of the community.
14. What do we learn from the human book of Brian Dailey
A. His reactions to different cultures. B. His international travel experiences.
C. His strong devotion to human rights. D. His contributions to advances in society.
15. Which of the following is the suitable title for the text
A. Don’t Read Books just Between Lines B. Prefer a Human Book to a Real Book.
C. Enjoy Reading with the Help of Others. D. Talk with a Fellow Human from This Library.
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
____16____ In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. ____17____
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. ____18____ I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier. ____19____ I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
____20____ So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.

Frey grabbed his bat and glove, and raced out of the door towards the Jack’s. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day, so they could make the team in the following semester.
Jack was waiting outside for Frey. “What are you doing Where’s your stuff ” Frey asked, lifting his bat onto his shoulder. Jack shook his head, “I have to clean Mr. Willow’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Willows. She thinks they’re kind of old and can’t afford to hire a cleaner.
To get the work done earlier, Frey offered to help. The boys went down the block to the Willow’s and got started. They found a couple of brooms. Before they swept, they put boxes scattered around the garage floor on shelves. As Jack put a big box on a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked it up. It wasn’t sealed, so he opened it. Out of his surprise, there were several one hundred dollar bills inside.
“You’ve got to see this. ” He pulled out the bills and showed Frey, “It just fell down when the box fell. There’s got to be several hundred dollars here.” Jack looked past Frey to the garage door and continued, “Nobody’s here. If we take some, I bet no one will ever know.” Before his voice died away, Jack had already drawn out one bill and stuffed it into his pocket.
Frey frowned and shook his head, “Are you crazy That’s stealing.” Jack ignored him and protested, “Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s kind of payment for my hard work. And one hundred will do for a bat and glove in I go’s Sports Stores.” With this, Jack put the rest money back.
Frey was about to grab the money from Jack’s pocket when they heard a voice, “Hello, e in for a chocolate cake! Mrs. Willow made one for you.” Mr. Willow walked into the garage.

When I picked up The Woks of Life, a cookbook written by the Leung family, I was very excited. Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family’s history.
“We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic (流行病) with her parents and younger sister. “We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.”
The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. “Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. “I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.”
Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website, attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food.
I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking.
The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out.
4. Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy
A. It runs in the family. B. It is written by family members.
C. It includes the story of a family. D. It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes.
5. Which of the following best describes the Leung family

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句““We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic (流行病) with her parents and younger sister.(“我们称我们的烹饪书为烹饪家谱(烹饪谱)。我们希望这本书通过食物讲述我们的家庭故事，而不仅仅是特色食谱，”莎拉·梁说，她在疫情期间与父母和妹妹共同撰写了这本书)”可知，the Leung family想要在这本食谱中通过食物讲述家庭故事，因此把这本食谱叫作烹饪家谱，故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.”(“我们生长在一个痴迷美食的家庭。老实说，这些食谱中有四分之一是我自己开发的，”莎拉补充道。“随着时间的推移，我们将实现我们的目标:所有家庭成员都是能干的中国厨师。”)”可知，the Leung family对食物很着迷，并正为实现全员成为中餐大师的目标付出努力，说明他们“devoted”；以及第三段中““Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point.(萨拉说：“家常菜和餐馆菜同样重要，但它们是不同的。”她补充说，这家人还讨论了如何尊重每一点)”可知，the Leung family想在食谱中体现对中餐方方面面的尊重，说明他们“considerate”，故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence.(我从宫保鸡丁开始了我的探索，这是一道很受欢迎的菜，也是我的最爱。令人高兴的是，我做的菜尝起来像它应该有的味道。它真的建立了我的信心)”可知，作者按照这本食谱首先尝试了制作宫保鸡丁，结果做出来的宫保鸡丁和作者之前吃过的味道很像。这增强了作者的信心，故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out.(这本食谱正在推动中国烹饪成为美国家庭烹饪的领域。长期以来，中国烹饪一直是一种许多人只习惯在外面吃饭的烹饪方式)”可知，这本食谱正推动着中餐成为美国家庭厨师烹饪的一部分；在此之前的很长时间，许多想要享用中餐的美国人只能前往外面的餐馆，故选D项。

A relationship between the amount of adult speech children are exposed to and the concentration of myelin, a substance in the brain, has been found, researchers say.
“I think the take-home message is, absolutely talking to your kids. It’s literally shaping the structure of the brain,” says the lead author, Prof. John P. Spencer of the University of East Anglia.
The team find, for the 30-month-olds, larger amounts of adult speech are associated with higher quantities of myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; however, for the 6-month-olds, it goes the opposite way.
While the latter (后者) is unexpected Spencer points out one possible factor: the brain’s stage of development.
“When babies are six months old, they experience massive growth of new nerve cells,” he says. “So the input comes in and may help extend the period of brain growth.” “While at 30 months, the brain starts to cut back some of the cell growth, and form specific connections. That’s where myelin comes in. So now the input starts to help structure the myelin,” he adds.
The researchers conclude adult speech is significant for both age groups and that the more adult speech children go through, the more sensitive they will be to language. The next step for them is to figure out whether the 6-month-old babies showing that negative connection will surely turn into 30-month-old kids who show positive relationship.
Dr. Saloni Krishnan, Reader in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) at Royal Holloway, University of London, who is not involved in the work, however, notes individual differences in language ability are linked to genetics. “Children who are exposed to more language at home and have higher myelination will also have inherited genes (经遗传获得的基因) from parents who are more excellent in languages,” she said. “No final conclusion could be made before this potential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently no standard around the amount of input children should receive, caregivers should not necessarily feel pressure to talk more to their children.”
8. Which can replace the underlined words “take-home message” in paragraph 2
A. Process. B. Reason. C. Point. D. Consequence.
9. What surprises the team
A. The finding for the 30-month-olds. B. The finding for the 6-month-olds.
C. How the input help nerve cells grow. D. How the input help structure the myelin.
10. What does the researchers think of adult speech
A. It is positively related to myelin. B. It cuts back some of the cell growth.
C. Its effect varies with the size of brains. D. It is helpful for both groups’ language ability.
11. What might Dr. Saloni Krishnan approve of
A. The team should do more research. B. Inherited genes decide language ability.
C. Parents must talk more to their kids. D. The concentration of myelin makes no sense.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了一个研究团队的发现（多跟孩子交流有助于孩子的大脑发育，尤其是语言方面）和其他专家就该研究发现发表的言论。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词“is, absolutely talking to your kids. It’s literally shaping the structure of the brain”可知，Prof. John P. Spencer认为重点是跟孩子交流；这确实能够影响孩子大脑结构的发育，故划线词意思是“重点”。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The team find, for the 30-month-olds, larger amounts of adult speech are associated with higher quantities of myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; however, for the 6-month-olds, it goes the opposite way.(研究小组发现，对于30个月大的婴儿来说，更多的成人语言与大脑中语言相关通路中更多的髓磷脂有关;然而，对于6个月大的婴儿来说，情况正好相反)”以及第四段“While the latter (后者) is unexpected, Spencer points out one possible factor: the brain’s stage of development.(虽然后者出乎意料，但斯宾塞指出了一个可能的因素:大脑的发育阶段)”可知，使这个研究团队吃惊的是第三段中提到的对六个月大的婴儿的研究发现，故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“The researchers conclude adult speech is significant for both age groups and that the more adult speech children go through, the more sensitive they will be to language”可知，研究人员得出结论：父母的言语对六个月大和三十个月大的孩子都很重要；并且孩子所接收的父母的言语越多，孩子们日后对语言就会越敏感，故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句““No final conclusion could be made before this potential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently no standard around the amount of input children should receive, caregivers should not necessarily feel pressure to talk more to their children.”(“在测试这种潜在的遗传效应之前，无法得出最终结论。然而，目前还没有关于孩子应该接受多少信息的标准，照顾者不必感到压力，要和孩子多说话。”)”可知，Dr. Saloni Krishnan认为在潜在的基因方面的影响被测定之前，不能断言“父母多跟孩子交流会提高孩子的语言能力”，即这个研究团队需要做进一步的研究，故选A项。
D
Almost everyone knows the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”, which means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks. That message was clear at a recent event called the Human Library Project. The event took place at the Northern Virginia, or NoVa, Community College, outside of Washington. D.C.
The Human Library began 19 years ago in Denmark. It grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”. Today, it is a worldwide movement. At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person — a “human book” — instead of a library book.
Patricia Cooper organized the event. She said that human books celebrate variety by telling their life stories in an easy-going setting. The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.
This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event. The collection of human books included a civil rights activist, a scientist from the American space agency NASA, and an opera singer.
Artist Brian Dailey was a human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people whom he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words-such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different reactions to the same word.
When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice, liberation and peace. When he asked the same question to people in Syrian refugee (难民) camps, the answer was: “tears, hunger, fear, destruction”.
12. According to the text, how to understand the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
A. Readers may miss a lot if they read a book just between lines.
B. People can learn more life lessons from others in the human library.
C. People can really understand the value of a book in the human library.
D. Readers can't underestimate the worth of a book because of its plain cover
13. What’s the purpose of organizing the human library
A. To provide more information for readers B. To satisfy the needs of the new generation
C. To make people communicate with each other. D. To improve the environment of the community.
14. What do we learn from the human book of Brian Dailey
A. His reactions to different cultures. B. His international travel experiences.
C. His strong devotion to human rights. D. His contributions to advances in society.
15. Which of the following is the suitable title for the text
A. Don’t Read Books just Between Lines B. Prefer a Human Book to a Real Book.
C. Enjoy Reading with the Help of Others. D. Talk with a Fellow Human from This Library.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“人类图书馆”计划。该计划始于19世纪，在这项活动中，人们有机会向另一个人——一本“行走的书”——学习，而不是图书馆里的纸质书。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段 “Almost everyone knows the saying, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.’, which means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks”（几乎每个人都知道“Don’t judge a book by its cover.”这句话，意思是你不应该根据一件东西的外观来判断它的价值）可知，这句话的意思是不能根据事物的外观来判断它的价值，即读者不能因为一本书的平装封面而低估它的价值。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.”（人类图书馆的目标是与你社区里的人交流，通常，可能因为你有自己的偏见而不愿意和他们交流，人类图书馆有望能打破这些障碍）可知，这个项目的目的是让人们与其他人更多地交流。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Artist Brian Dailey was a human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years.”（艺术家布莱恩·戴利是一本“行走的书”。 他讲述了自己在7年里游历113个国家的经历）可知，布莱恩·戴利游历了113个国家，作为一本“行走的书”，他的国际旅行经历是我们学习的内容。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person—a “human book”—instead of a library book.”（在NoVa的活动中，学生们得到了向一个人学习的机会——一本“行走的书”，而不是图书馆的书）可知，本文介绍了“人类图书馆计划”，在这个计划中，学生有机会与一个人——一本“行走的书”，而不是一本纸质书交流，并向他们学习，所以“Talk with a Fellow Human from This Library（和“人类图书馆”里的人类交流）”是最佳标题。故选D项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
____16____ In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. ____17____
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. ____18____ I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier. ____19____ I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
____20____ So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.

(我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，该段讨论的是沉溺于自己的缺点带来的问题，由此可知，此空处应讨论“沉溺于错误”的相关内容，G选项“Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes. (总想着错误会浪费时间，更糟糕的是，会让我们更容易重复错误。)”讲述的内容为沉溺于自己的错误浪费了我们时间，甚至导致反复的犯错，且与空后“In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. (在一项研究中，研究人员要求受试者在想象的购物中心之旅中花钱。在“购物”之前，一些研究对象被要求回忆过去的一次财务错误。)”的研究内容吻合。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. (当然，我们也不想跳过或忽略我们的错误。)”可知，没有人要逃避当前的错误，由此可知，设空处将提出应该怎么做，E选项“The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure. (我们的目标是从失败中吸取教训，然后释放失败。)”讲述的内容为我们要在错误中吸取教训，从而减少失败，与上文内容吻合。故选E项。

(我决定找一份我真正喜欢的工作，多旅行，住在别的地方。)”可知，作者决定要开始做自己真正喜欢的事情，与空前的内容完全不同，由此可知，设空处应为承上启下的作用，A选项“Eventually, I got tired of this. (最终，我厌倦了这一切。)”中的eventually为关键词，将空前的内容过渡到空后内容，且其中的this指代的内容为空前作者以前的做法。故选A项。
【20题详解】
分析语篇可知，本段是总结段，根据空后的“So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. (所以，永远不要因为自己的错误和缺点而自责。)”可知，作者劝告人们不要在为自己的错误或者缺点而自责，此空处讲述的内容与空后的内容为因果关系，B选项“Regret is another big waste of time. (后悔是另一种浪费时间的方式。)”讲述的是作者认为后悔是另外浪费时间的方式，与下文中作者对人们的劝告为因果关系，符合逻辑，内容吻合。故选B项。

Frey grabbed his bat and glove, and raced out of the door towards the Jack’s. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day, so they could make the team in the following semester.
Jack was waiting outside for Frey. “What are you doing Where’s your stuff ” Frey asked, lifting his bat onto his shoulder. Jack shook his head, “I have to clean Mr. Willow’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Willows. She thinks they’re kind of old and can’t afford to hire a cleaner.
To get the work done earlier, Frey offered to help. The boys went down the block to the Willow’s and got started. They found a couple of brooms. Before they swept, they put boxes scattered around the garage floor on shelves. As Jack put a big box on a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked it up. It wasn’t sealed, so he opened it. Out of his surprise, there were several one hundred dollar bills inside.
“You’ve got to see this. ” He pulled out the bills and showed Frey, “It just fell down when the box fell. There’s got to be several hundred dollars here.” Jack looked past Frey to the garage door and continued, “Nobody’s here. If we take some, I bet no one will ever know.” Before his voice died away, Jack had already drawn out one bill and stuffed it into his pocket.
Frey frowned and shook his head, “Are you crazy That’s stealing.” Jack ignored him and protested, “Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s kind of payment for my hard work. And one hundred will do for a bat and glove in I go’s Sports Stores.” With this, Jack put the rest money back.

At the sight of Mr. Willow, Jack and Frey froze in shock. “Ugh… sure, Mr. Willow,” said Jack, “We’ll finish up and be right in.” Mr. Willow’s kind words reminded Jack of the couple’s efforts to pay for the work he did. A surge of guilt swept over him, “How could I have that evil thought!” So the moment Mr. Willow went back to his house, Jack put the money back. The boys finished cleaning and went to the house. They had big slices of chocolate cake and two glasses of milk each.
When they were about to leave, Mr. Willow handed Jack a brand new bat and glove. “This is for you. Your mom said this is something you’d like. We try to find little ways to show our appreciation for what you have done for us.” Seeing the bat and glove, Jack felt a warm blush rise to his cheeks. “Th… thanks so much. I love them!” Outside, Frey put his hand on Jack’s shoulder, “See, you not only have a clear conscience, but the bat and glove you want in Sports Stores.”
