I am comfortable with my body but there is a price to pay for being different.In primary school, I was crazy about gymnastics(体操) and I won the first prize in my final year. But I had to work hard to deal with my shortcomings. After the other girls left, I would still be in the school hall, practicing again and again without the coach around. It took tons of time to master the ribbon(带子). However, I fought on and improved so much that I was in the National Championships in 2015.Whenever I went up in a competition, I always felt that the crowd did not expect much from the overweight child before them. They talked about my weight in low voices. One man even said, “That’s the ugliest leotard (紧身衣) I've ever seen and the girl looks like an elephant in leotard!” Hearing their words, you could understand my feelings. But I just kept silent because I decided to let my ribbon do the talking. I worked harder on my ribbon.I was the winner in National Championships that year, but that was not the best thing I got from hours of tiring practice. The best thing was the knowledge that my body cannot decide who I am and should never limit what I can do. I believe I can achieve anything because I am bigger than my body.19.How did the writer react(回应) to the man’s words on her clothing?A. She talked back angrily.B. She changed her clothing.C.

Be the best of whatever you are.D. A good beginning is half done.CWe often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look.First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate( 关注) more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of (失去对…的意识) time.Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps.Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive（感知）time again. Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.23.According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long?A. Weekends and holidays.B. Weekends and vacations.C. Classes and work.D. Holidays and work.24.According to the passage, in which situation do we have wrong impressions about time?A.When we have many problems left in the test paper.B.When we go to school as usual on weekdays.C.When we are taking a long nap.D.When we have dinner as usual.25.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Danger.B. Time.C. The way.D. A chemical.26.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.B.When we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.C.If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly perceive time again.D.Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.DChristopher Columbus（哥伦布）, who is one of several historical persons regarded as the first European to discover the Americas, was born in 1451 in Italy.

He told the leaders the Earth was round and if they helped him, he could easily get to China. Nobody believed his words and he was regarded as a cheat. Of course, he didn’t succeed.It was not until 1492 that his dream came true. The queen of Spain persuaded the King to support Columbus. On August 2, 1492, Columbus left Spain and began his voyage. He had three ships. After two months’ hard sailing, on October 12, they got to an island in the Bahamas. On October 29, they reached Cuba. But a few days later, one of his ships left them.

They went back to Lisbon on March 4, 1493.Althou gh they didn’t get to rich Asian countries and took back wealth, they found a new place that nobody had gone to. Columbus thought it was India and called the islands the West Indias.From 1493 to 1504, he sailed to America three times. He reached most of the coast of southern America and set up many colonies.On May 20,1506, Columbus died because of a disease.27.What was Columbus’ dream according to the passage?A.To be a rich man.B.To reach Africa and Asia.C.To make another way to China and India.D.To get gold, silver, silk, tea and other things.28.How long does it take Columbus to take his voyage from Spain to Lisbon?A. 2 months.B. 8 months.C. 11 months.D. 26 months.29.In what order did the following take place in Columbus’ life?a.He sailed to America three times.b.In 1477, he began to make business voyages.c.He began his voyage with the help of the queen of Spain.d.He found a new place that nobody had gone to.e.He tried to get support from some countries.A. b-e-d-a-cB. b-e-c-d-aC. c-b-e-a-dD. c-d-e-a-b30.What is the best title of the passage?A.Columbus and his voyagesB.How Columbus found IndiaC.Columbus loved sailing adventureD.How Columbus got the sailing support第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）相似的话题常有不同的写作结构, 请你阅读以下材料, 将所给的写作结构图(A-E) 与相应的阅读材料(31-35) 进行匹配.( )31.
