There is an old Spanish proverb which states，“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”． 1 I'd say，too many.Our dreams should not，and cannot wait.We have to go for them now！Here's why. 1． 2

Nobody likes to talk about death，but the reality is that everybody is going to die at one point.None of us know the day，or the hour.Therefore，today is all we have.Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream，big or small right now. 2．The world is waiting on your gift.

I know this may be hard to believe，but the world is waiting on YOU！Yes，YOU! 3 Sure，other people may be able to sing.But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you.Sure other people can write，but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write.Don't deprive the world of your gift.It's the oxygen that we need to survive.Thus，it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is，and use to better your life and the lives of those around you. 3． 4

You can dream about writing the great American play that you want，but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper.You can dream about finding a cure for cancer，but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 5 They require you to get your head out of the clouds，and actually do the work to make them happen.Get to it!

A．You can't let fear win. B．Tomorrow is not promised.

C．In other words，dreams don't work unless you do.

D．How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?

E．You were born into the world with a unique gift，which nobody on this earth can duplicate. F．Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you.

G．Unless you take the first step，your dreams will never come true.

【语篇解读】 作者在本文中呼吁我们一定要抓住今天，抓住现在，不要拖延，只有这样我们才会成功。

1．D [根据横线后一句“I'd say，too many.”我要说，太多了。这是对设空处的回答，说明设空处应该是一个疑问句，选项中只有D项是疑问句，并符合文意，故选D。]

2．B [根据本段最后两句“Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream，big or small right now.”可知B正确。]

3．E [根据本段标题“The world is waiting on your gift.”可知世界上的每个人都要发挥自己的天赋和才干。因为每个人的天赋和才干都是独一无二的。选项中只有E项和该段的主题一致。] 4．G [根据本段第一句可知如果你不开始写作，你就不可能成为伟大的作家。也就是说要采取行动，你的梦想才会实现。故G符合要求。]

5．C [本段讲述的是我们要采取行动，梦想才会实现。C项“In other words，dreams don't work unless you do.”符合本段的中心思想。]

(2017·浙江杭州四校联考)

The Truth about the Joneses

You know the Joneses.Or maybe for you it's the Smiths，or the Millers. 6 They have nicer cars，fancier clothes and even cuter dogs.

But the Joneses may not be who you think they are. 7 Or they may just work really hard to build wealth.We'll say that again：The Joneses are either drowning in payments or deserving of their wealth.

So be happy for them or feel sorry for them.But don't try to keep up with them！ 8 And you've had enough of all the bad feelings of your own life.You're ready to be happy where you are and to work for what you want.You're ready for contentment.

Contentment is a choice.It's having an attitude of joy when everyone else is attempting to buy happiness.So who cares if Mrs.Jones drives a luxury SUV with heated seats and keyless entry？Good for her.Your 10-year-old car gets you everywhere her sweet ride gets her.

9 It is something that's not visible to the Joneses of the world.They can't see the steady chunks of money you put in your emergency fund.Or the $15，000 of debt you paid off.Or the retirement(退休)contributions you're about to increase.

But you know the significance of your actions.

10 You know your energy is better used for your own savings goals. A．That only leads to dissatisfaction.

B．You may just want another reliable car. C．They may be up to their eyeballs in debt.

D．At this point，you may still feel worried about looking good. E．They're the people who have everything bigger and better than you do. F．You've wasted enough energy keeping up with people you don't really care. G．Right now you're doing whatever it takes to build a solid foundation for your family.

【语篇解读】 Joneses一家有更好的东西，你该怎么办呢？要与他们盲目攀比吗？文章讲的就是如何摒弃攀比之风，而专注于踏实的生活，获得长远的经济安定和内心满足。

6．E [此处是细节句。文章开头提到the Joneses，但表意不明。下文中对其富裕程度进行了细致的描述，所以此处应该是对the Joneses的解释或定义。所以E项正确。]

7．C [此处是主题拓展句。本段主题句提到也许Joneses一家不是你所以为的那样，这说明下文中会涉及Joneses一家鲜为人知的一面。又由下文“drowning in payments”这一细节，可知此处的意思是Joneses一家私底下可能债台高筑。所以C项正确。]

8．A [此处是细节句。A项中的that指代“try to keep up with them，”dissatisfaction对应bad feelings。所以A项正确。]

9．G [此处是段落主题句。由此空后面的句子可知，此空中必须强调一个名词概念来对应“something”；由下文中的“steady chunks of money”，“debt”，“retirement(退休) contributions”等细节可知，此处的名词概念给家庭打下“坚实的基础”，所以G项正确。]

10．F [此处是细节句。根据下文“your energy is better used...”可知此处表示“你已经浪费了足够多的精力在攀比上”。所以F项正确。]

C

(2017·浙江杭州十四中模拟)

As you grow older，you'll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. 11 ，but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder.People who are your age，like your classmates，are called peers.When they try to influence how you act，to get you to do something，it's called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system.Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book，and now everyone's reading it. 12 ．

13 ．For example，a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them；your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is tough to be the only one who says“no”to peer pressure， 14 ．Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

You've probably had a parent or teacher advising you to choose your friends wisely. 15 ．If you choose friends who don't cut class，smoke cigarettes，or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either，even if other kids do.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to handle，talk to someone you trust.Don't feel guilty if you've made a mistake or two.

A．but you can do it

B．Therefore，peers can effect each other C．In addition，there are other examples D．Making decisions on your own is hard enough E．Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this F．Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways G．These are examples of how peers positively influence each other

【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。介绍了应对同伴压力应采取的措施。面对各种同伴压力，作者建议与那些没有坏习惯的同学交朋友，摆脱同伴压力的消极影响对你的发展是有好处的。 11．D [空格前一句提出了随着年龄的增长，我们会面临抉择。D项“Making decisions on your own

is hard enough”与做抉择有联系，又与后句的“but...it can be even harder”相呼应；且hard与harder相对应。所以选D项。]

12．G [本段首句“Peers can have a positive influence on each other.”为段落主题句，之后的句子阐述

了同伴的积极影响。B选项是混淆项，是总结句表结果，但B选项讲的是同伴之间的相互影响，而第三段也是阐述同伴的影响，所以B项不正确。G项是对同伴积极影响的事例的总结，故选G。]

13．F [通过后面的例子——学校里的几个孩子可能试图让你跟他们一起逃课；跟你一起踢足球的

伙伴可能试图说服你对另外一位队员刻薄，不再传球给他，可知都是同伴带来的消极影响，而且对应上一段的主旨句，所以F项正确。]

14．A [空格前面是一个逗号，根据语法可知A项正确；且空格后说了“关注你自己的感受和是

非信念有益于你知道去做正确的事”。所以A项正确。]

15．E [空格前一句指出有家长或老师建议我们明智地选择朋友，E项的“why they say this”与此句

语法上以及意思上呼应。所以E项正确。]

D

“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over­protective and do too much.It describes parents who watch over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter.Today，modern technology allows these helicopter parents to watch over from even far away. 16

Julie Lythcott wrote a book titled Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for Success. In her book，she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. 17

Julie Lythcott says she experienced the effects of “Helicopter parenting” first­hand when she worked as dean of first year students. 18 But many were unable to take care of themselves.They were turning to parents constantly for guidance，for problem solving，to have them make the choice about something.

So what can parents do if they want to break the overparenting “helicopter” cycle? 19 ◆Stop saying “we” when you mean your son or your daughter.All too often a parent would say “we are on the travel soccer team”．Well，no，your son is or your daughter is.

◆ Stop arguing with all of the adults in our kids' lives.You need to teach your kids to advocate for themselves.

◆ Stop doing your kids' homework.

◆ 20 Teach them to cross the street，make a meal，and remember to put their own items in their backpacks，which becomes a briefcase one day.

When kids have all the skills to take care of themselves，they will be prepared for adulthood. A. Four ways are offered to stop watching over your children. B．She also explains why parents should stop it.

C．It's a good idea to encourage your kid to do the things he can by himself. D．They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere. E．Build your kids' skills.

F．The freshmen were very smart and accomplished on paper. G．Your kid is eager for more freedom，but should you give it to him?

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了当今社会的一种典型的教育方式——“直升机养育法”，即父母过度保护孩子。作者在文中提出了解决这个问题的四种方法。

16．D [根据上文可知，“直升机养育法”描述的是一种教育孩子的方式，父母对孩子过度保护并

为孩子做得过多。现代的技术允许这些“直升机父母”在更远的距离也能监控他们的孩子。D项意为“他们能在任何时间任何地点引领孩子”，能够承接上文，并补充说明上文提到的父母可以在远处监控孩子，符合题意。故选D项。]

17．B [根据本段内容可知，Julie Lythcott写了一本名叫《挣脱溺爱陷阱和为你的孩子的成功做准

备》的书。在书中，Julie让读者更深入地了解这种直升机式的教育模式。B项“她也解释了为什么父母要停止这种溺爱”承接上文，符合题意。故选B项。]

18．F [根据上文可知，当Julie作为一年级学生的教务长时，她亲身体会到了“直升机养育法”

带来的影响。下文又说到但是很多人却无法照顾自己。F项“这些新生非常聪明而且能按时完成作业”能够联系上下文，并与下文形成合理的转折关系，符合语境。故选F项。] 19．A [根据下文可知，作者提出了四种解决“直升机养育法”问题的方法。A项“有四种可以

让你不再过度保护孩子的方法”能够引出下文，符合题意。故选A项。]

20．E [根据本段内容可知，要教会孩子过马路、做饭、记得把自己的东西放在背包里。E项“培

养孩子的技能”能概括本段内容，符合题意。故选E项。]

E

Each year，many animal species die out.They join the countless species that have gone extinct(灭绝的) over the course of the earth's history and many people believe they disappear forever. 21

Now some scientists are focusing on the ability to bring back extinct species.This doesn't mean the plot of Jurassic Park is going to become a reality.The researchers need DNA to clone a species. 22 Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils(化石)．

But there's a very real chance that we will be able to bring back more recently extinct species. 23 In 2003，a team of Spanish and French scientists recreated the Pyrenean ibex，which had gone extinct three years' earlier.The new animal didn't survive long，but scientific advances could improve the success rate.In January，Australian scientists announced that they were on their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog.

That we can bring species back doesn't mean that we should do that.There may be much benefit of reviving(使复生) a species，but there's no way to know how it will turn out. 24 Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation.

25 If we can correct our mistake，why not use the chance to do that? As Stewart Brand，a businessman and environmentalist，recently said，“Humans have made a huge hole in nature.We have the ability now to repair some of that damage.”

A. However，some people argue that the extinction of some animals is really our mistake. B．In addition，most people think that the extinction of some animals is really human's mistake. C．This could even include Ice Age animals like the woolly mammoth. D．However，you might need to redefine(重新定义) “forever”．

E．For example，would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat(栖息地)? F．This could even be true to dinosaurs that have been extinct long ago. G．DNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了我们可以用克隆手段来使灭绝的动物重新回到世界上，但这并不意味着我们应该那样去做。

21．D [空格前指出“许多人认为一些动物物种会永远消失”；第二段首句指出“现在一些科学

家正致力于恢复这些灭绝物种的研究”；由此可知，D项“然而，你也许需要重新定义‘永远’这个词的含义”与上文中的“forever”呼应，且引出下文内容，符合语境。故选D。]

22．G [根据上文可知，研究人员需要DNA来克隆一个物种；根据下文可知，恐龙已经消失太久

了，它们的DNA存在于它们的化石当中；由此可知，此处应是对DNA进行介绍，G项“DNA是一种携带了生物结构的化学物质”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。]

23．C [根据上文可知，我们真的有机会能够恢复更接近现代的灭绝物种；根据下文可知，空格

后主要讲述的是研究例证；由此可知，C项“这甚至包括冰川时期的动物如猛犸象”承接上文，下文的例子则对其进行了进一步论证，符合语境。故选C。]

24．E [根据空格后的“Or”表并列可知，此处与下文应是对称的一般疑问句。E项“例如，旅鸽能

够适应之前的栖息地吗”与下文衔接密切，符合语境。故选E。]

25．A [根据第四段内容可知，恢复物种也许会有很多好处，但“我们”无法知道结果如何。环

保人士担心恢复物种的能力也许会对传统的保护物种的艰辛工作产生不良影响；空格后句意：如果“我们”能纠正自己的错误，为什么不利用这次机会呢？由此可知，上下文之间构成转折关系。A项中的“However...our mistake.”照应下文，符合语境。故选A。]
