语篇提能
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are in business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”

I looked down the counter(柜台) and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and looking at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do you do？”
“We give the computer the information about your trip and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That's right, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down？” I wanted to know. “I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said，“Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they？”
“I couldn't tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington，” I suggested.
“I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket.”
“Is there any other flight to Washington within the next few hours？”
“I wouldn't know，” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only IT knows. IT can't tell me now.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The word spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people left without a word, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage(行李)．
1．What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?

Ⅱ.七选五阅读
Here are four principles (行为准则) I live by. Whenever I follow these guidelines, I am at my very best, feeling productive and happy.
Devote time.
No matter how gifted we may be, it's wrong to think we can do it all. __1__ The value of our achievements is greatly determined by what we spend our time on. We need to realize that every day we should devote the time to what matters and have the courage to let the unimportant stuff go.
Focus your attention.
Very often it seems that we just can't focus our attention, even though we know what we should be doing, right? Resistance (阻力) makes us get disturbed by distractions (分散注意力的事). __2__ Developing a plan for overcoming resistance is important for maximum productivity.
__3__
We need to make a balance between work and play, between creation and pleasure. __4__ Even if we feel energetic to work long hours, the most effective longterm way is to hold ourselves back when we feel crazy and follow a proper pace instead.
Keep moving on.
More important than setting big goals is to just keep going. I know this goes against most of the “set great goals for yourself” advice, but it's what works for me. __5__ And it always made me more worried than it helped. Now, what does work for me is to think about how to improve my life and take small steps to make it happen.
A. Develop a proper pace.
B. Actually, we can do something, but not everything.
C. Take a oneminute selfassessment at the end of the day.
D. These are obstacles (阻碍) even for the most determined people.
E. It's in each step that you learn and adjust your direction.
F. We should take our leisure time as seriously as our work time.
G. Going after a “big aim” was something that made me feel uncomfortable.
答案：
本文是说明文。文章简要地向读者介绍了作者在生活中坚守的四个原则。
1．解析：根据语境可知，空处是对前一句的解释说明；又根据空前的“it's wrong to think we can do it all”和B项中的“we can do something, but not everything”相呼应可知，选B项。
答案：B
2．解析：D项中的obstacles和空前的distractions相呼应，故D项符合语境。
答案：D
3．解析：本段主要讲的是要在工作和娱乐之间保持平衡。最后一句话中的“follow a proper pace”也是提示。
答案：A
4．解析：F项中的leisure time和work time构成对比，和空前的“between work and play, between creation and pleasure”相呼应。故选F项。
答案：F
5．解析：G项中的“a ‘big aim’”和空前的“set great goals”相呼应。且空后一句与G项并列描述了设定大目标对“我”不好的影响，联系密切，故选G项。
答案：G

Dear Editor，
I'm a senior high school student named Li Hua. Now many students have iPads and think it's a fashion to use them.________________________________________________________________________

答案：
Dear_Editor，
__I'm_a_senior_high_school_student_named_Li_Hua._Now_many_students_have_iPads_and_think_it's_a_fashion_to_use_them. Using an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read ebooks on the screen. Obviously, it's helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.
Some students, however, bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music without earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. Some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.
In my opinion, as students, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. The classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore, concentration is greatly needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
