Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
When I was a child,my father bought me a new toy every other week when he received his pay check.I loved to take the toys apart to learn their basic principles,and then put them back together.
Most of the time,the toys still worked,but I clearly remember getting a toy robot that would walk either forwards or backwards.I took the robot apart,but when I put it back together,it couldn’t walk any more.I figured out what was wrong with it but was not able to fix it.It was especially disappointing because I really liked the robot.
By the time I was ten or so,my parents allowed me to play outdoors alone.During the summer,on the junk day,I would check out what people were throwing away.People did not use garbage bags then,so all waste was in metal cans,which made it easy to check out what was in the waste.I took home some equipment,radios,and televisions.I took them apart and learned how they were built.
Through learning by myself,I built a telephone.I made my own microphone (扩音器) by taking apart old dry batteries and taking the carbon rods (碳棒) out of them.I then broke the rods into powder and used the carbon powder to make the microphone.I used the microphone in my home-made telephone.Later,I made another carbon microphone,which I connected in series with a speaker I took from an old radio.I put the speaker in a bush by the sidewalk and ran wires around the side of the house where the batteries and my home-made microphone were.I had much fun playing jokes on people walking by with that device (装置).

I’m losing my hair.Don’t feel sorry.It will not be an explanation on how depressing it is that my body is submitting to the damages of time.It’s just a fact,and,honestly,I’m fine with it.Don’t get me wrong:had this happened when I was 25,I would have rushed to an Istanbul clinic with credit cards faster than you could say “Elton”.I would have had a baseball cap glued to my scalp(头皮).But I’m 40 now.
Hairdressers used to praise me on my “thick hair”,however,they’d make no obvious difference to my lion-like hairs.Therefore,this raises a question:why am I still spending ￡50 getting my hair cut The answer to this is,I suppose,“habit”.But if the pandemic has taught us anything,it’s that even our fundamental behaviors can be transformed when necessary.For decades,I’ve frequented salons(美发厅).I enjoyed the air conditioning and the coffee.But really,all I require these days is a short back and sides.So,for the first time,I’ve started going to my local barbershop.And...it’s great!For one thing,you don’t need to book an appointment.
The two guys are friendly,yet also business-like.Best of all,the cut costs ￡15,and my hair looks exactly the same as when it was done in the salon.The first time my barber placed a wet towel over my nose and mouth,I’ve come to appreciate the feeling of a freshly-shaved jaw.So yes,my hair is thinning:I am older.But also,I believe,wiser.

Ⅴ.七选五
Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep Commonly,when the new year ticks over,we make resolutions:going to the gym,studying harder or giving up a bad habit.Sadly,not long after we’ve made the promise,we often end up breaking them. 1 Well,it’s possible,but willpower might not be the only thing you need.
The basic idea of a habit is something we do almost unconsciously,as if you’re on autopilot.An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”. 2 But if we don’t have those habits,how can we create them According to a study published by the European Journal of Social Psychology,it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit.However,relying only on determination may not be the answer.
Questioning why you want something to be the norm(常态) rather than relying on your resolve could be the key. 3 The issue is,willpower could be subject to your mood—a bad mood may mean you don’t want to do something.
You should also avoid trying to change too much at once—remember that it’s a case of baby steps. 4 ,going to the gym,and stopping drinking at the same time will probably result in failure rather than sustainable practice.And don’t worry about failing—just start again! 5 If you hate mushrooms,don’t persevere and try to add them to your diet just to be healthier.Eat something you like!It might not be quick,but if you follow these tips,you may be able to change something for the better or kick a bad habit.
A.Giving up all your favourite foods
B.Working out as you please
C.But what if you want to create a new good habit
D.Good habits can be part of your daily routine.
E.Don’t do things outside your comfort zone.
F.To get rid of a bad habit is not as easy a thing as we sometimes think.
G.Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive

I am Sadie.I love oceans,especially the one near my grandma’s house with beautiful shells.Why That’s what I am about to tell you.
It all started when my parents divorced a few weeks ago.I had remained silent since then.So my mother decided to send me to Florida to live with my grandma.
On the way to my grandma’s house,my mother said,“Sadie,I know we are not the best family you can have and I truly apologise.I just do not know how to be a mother.But remember,Sadie,whatever happened,I do love you.” These words made me sadder.
When we arrived,Grandma told me to go upstairs and unpack my things while she spoke to my mother.When I saw a blue-and-green-painted room with a huge window and a comfortable bed,I thought,“Moving to Florida might not be that bad.” I comforted myself as I walked towards the window.I opened the curtains and saw sky-blue waves slowly washing away the sand on the beach and sea birds flying in the clear sky.The ocean was only a few hundred metres away from here.
After my mother left,Grandma softly touched my shoulder,“I want to take you to the place I called ‘the Big Blue’.And I think you might like it.”
Before I stepped on the sand I could smell the ocean.Together we enjoyed the sunset with a whole lot of yellow and orange.Suddenly she picked out the most beautiful shell I had ever seen in my life.It was almost gold,shining in the sunlight.I couldn’t move my eyes off it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

“Want to know how I get through my parents’ divorce ” Grandma asked.
“The beautiful shells here gave me the courage to live on,” Grandma said.

Thomas Edison,born in America,was a great scientist and inventor.He was once considered as a boy who was not worth teaching.In fact,he was full of curiosity and imagination.
I admire him because of his contributions to the world.In his life,he was always trying out new ideas and had more than 1,000 inventions,many of which still have a great influence on our life today.He was also very diligent and believed that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.All these explained why he had so many great inventions and what he did inspires me to be creative in my work.

“Want to know how I get through my parents’ divorce ” Grandma asked.She smiled to me and continued,“In those days,I felt very sorrowful because neither of my parents cared about me,which made me want to end my life.But finally,I didn’t do like that.In order to kill time,I always went to the beach.Much to my surprise,I found that there were such beautiful shells on the beach.”
“The beautiful shells here gave me the courage to live on,” Grandma said.“Honey,you are still happy.Although your parents divorced,they both love you.Your mother rang me this morning,telling me that you love oceans.Therefore,I brought you here.Also I hope you can get inspiration and courage.” Hearing this I looked up at the blue sky and the vast sea.Suddenly,I felt a little relaxed and natural,and held the firm belief that I must cheer up,just like the most beautiful shell,full of colours.
