一、记叙文

Task 1

I am not sure how many books I have reread, but perhaps it is fewer than the average person.__1__ The reading material, though, is of course not new.

I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel: don't go to the same place twice.Life is too short.__2__ Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work the other way around too: if you know you enjoy something, or somewhere, then why not return?

Recently, I reread Joseph Heller's Catch-22.I was inspired to do so when reminded of how he'd respond when people rudely asked him why he'd never written anything as good:“Who has?” Catch-22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it.__3__ I had dropped out of school twice, didn't leave the house at all and didn't have a life.It felt as though I hadn't laughed in such a long time.

__4__ It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its cleverness cheered me greatly.I related to its characters who are themselves trapped.I am now planning to reread the sort of books that inspired me in my own writing.

I won't take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases.I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers.__5__

A.Catch-22 had me laughing.

B.My favourites are secondhand editions.

C.There is discomfort in reading recently-released books.

D.At that time, I was an extremely depressed 17-year-old.

E.For me, the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one.

F.There is so much to read and so much to see and experience.

G.However, I have determined to read the old ones more frequently.

Task 2

Photography for me has always been a key.It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes.__1__ “Better get back to taking photos.Nice to chat!”

What is my advice to beginners? I didn't study photography.I'm not formally trained.__2__ But that's not what photography is about for me.If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here?” It doesn't matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with what's left over.__3__ What does that mean? If I'm photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it's important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it.If I'm taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan, I make sure to find an angle that shows just how much they've harvested, but also a few close-ups of the weathered hands that are carefully sorting.

__4__ I've taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone.The more you shoot,the better you will be.So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your friends' businesses and projects.

A.Let the story guide you.

B.I have virtually no art experience.

C.Like anything, photography requires practice.

D.Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore.

E.Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.

F.It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.

G.I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens.

Task 3

For decades, I was a hard drinker who could drink anyone under the table.This lasted from the age of 27 until after 50, a golden time during which I felt very sorry for ex-drinkers and people who couldn't or wouldn't drink.How did they make it through social situations,especially parties? What did they do at the end of a workday to celebrate and relax? __1__

（4）综合性实验、实训教学的应用与管理。将一系列单一项目按其内在关系有机结合在一起进行的综合性实验、实训教学，是培养和提升学生综合素质和综合能力的主要途径和必然选择，应予以广泛倡导与运用。

When I first tried to quit drinking myself in my early 50s, I wasn't sure at first whether it would work for me.But I did it anyway.__2__ I was getting older.I had to concede that I wasn't as tough as I used to be.Nights of drinking too much showed in my face, and I could feel it in my bones.I wanted to take care of myself.So for the next few years, I bounced between drinking and not drinking at all for months at a time, then slowly starting again until I had to quit again.

During these years, I didn't love not drinking.But I had to admit that when I was off booze, I looked and felt better physically: I slept more deeply, had more energy and exercised more.My mind was clearer.My moods were brighter.Parties were hard, and so was cooking at the end of a day of writing without a glass of wine at my elbow.__3__

I finally quit drinking for real almost several years ago, when a writer friend stayed with my husband and me after his wife kicked him out.After my husband had gone upstairs to bed, my friend sat on our sofa drinking an entire bottle of gin, complaining about his fate,until he passed out next to our dog, whose bed was that sofa.__4__ I didn't have a drink the next night, or ever again since.

I'm not going to lie: being sober is not a hot-air balloon ride.__5__ Having to feel my damn feelings without filters compels me to face and change the things in my life that keep me stuck.I connect more deeply with the people I care about.I think of not drinking as a kindness I've given myself.And to my surprise, it's rewarded me with true, hard-won happiness.

A.My body demanded it.

B.My health started improving rapidly.

C.It's more like a hike in the mountains.

D.How did they quit drinking?

E.It was a wake-up call.

F.But the pluses seemed to outweigh the minuses.

G.How did they get through life?

二、说明文

How do you feel after you've had a meltdown? Do you feel embarrassed about your behavior? __2__ An occasional meltdown doesn't mean something is “wrong” with you.It may just be an indicator of a challenging time for you.

__2__ Look at where the story comes from and read other articles on the site.Are they well written with proper citations (引用), or are they full of grammatical errors? You should also make sure that you're on a legal news website.

__3__ For example, a website that ends with “.com” might be real, while the one with“.co” is not.

Moreover, remember to ask yourself, “Is it the whole truth and nothing but the truth?”Sometimes a fake news story can have some truth to it, but most of the facts and figures are made up.For example, the event and the people mentioned are real, but the quotes attributed to them and other facts are simply made up.__4__

三、议论文

Task 1

The pleasures of learning

Learning is a natural pleasure, inborn and instinctive (本能的), one of the essential pleasures of the human race.When Archimedes discovered the principle of specific gravity by observing his own displacement of water in a bathtub (浴缸), he jumped out with delight, shouting, “Eureka! Eureka!” __1__

This pleasure is not limited to learning from textbooks, which are too often boring.>__2__ By opening a book, one can connect with a voice distant in time and space, and hear it speaking, mind to mind, heart to heart.As for reading books, this contains two different delights.One is the pleasure of understanding the unexpected, such as when one meets a new author who has a new vision of the world.__3__

Far beyond books, learning means keeping the mind open and active to receive all kinds of experiences.Among the pleasures of learning, we should include travel, travel with an open mind, an alert eye and a wish to understand other people, other places, rather than looking in them for a mirror image of oneself.

__4__ Every new art we learn appears like a new window on the universe, which helps us acquire a new sense.Crafts, too, are well worth exploring.Most crafts contain one essential pleasure, the pleasure of making something that will last.

__5__ Instead of decreasing in time, like health and strength, its returns go on increasing, provided that we aim throughout our life, as we continue learning to integrate (整合) your thoughts to make it harmonious.

A.But it does include learning from books.

B.Learning extends our lives into a new field.

C.This shout means Archimedes enjoyed playing with water.

D.The other pleasure is about deepening one's knowledge of a special field.

E.Learning also means learning to practice, or at least to appreciate an art.

Task 2

Professionals use the word “amateur” as a term of contempt (蔑视) for those who lack formal training and qualifications.__1__ One day that amateur might just create a new industry.

After all, almost all entrepreneurs embody the amateur spirit, starting as a tinkerer in a garage or writing computer code in a bedroom somewhere.There is no union of entrepreneurs, and no protective body that sets exams and standards.Instead, there is the free-for-all of the market, a battlefield where only the fittest survive.This flexible and inclusive structure is a healthy state of affairs.__2__

Typical amateurs are free to invent as they please, try new ideas, fail, and get up and do it all again—but better.As Marshall McLuhan, the media theorist, said, “Amateurs can afford to lose.” __3__ Amateurs can do it part-time, for charity or for fun.The old cartels are being bypassed thanks to technological advances and a more informal society.Now everyone can DIY and experiment—from blogging to film-making to online advice shops.

__4__ The mysteries of the self-satisfied old crafts are revealed for all to see through the Internet.The world is vastly more complex now, but that means even the most revered professionals need experts to help them.The end of the age of compliance means we no longer hold elites such as judges and bankers in such awe.For centuries, the club-like professional bodies have taken charge of the society, a form for the well-educated and connected.

__5__ They represent the ultimate success.I don't deny the importance of education,but I place greater emphasis on results and originality, as opposed to doctorates and memberships of professional bodies.They are all too often focused on defending privilege and status rather than the public good.

A.I think such contempt is a mistake.

B.Some big companies struggle with truly novel breakthroughs.

C.Nevertheless, I show my admiration for the armies of gifted amateurs.

D.It breaks down barriers to welcome all-comers and creates a more dynamic order.

E.Thanks to technology development, we can all be competent amateurs at almost everything.

F.That's because they naturally want to reinforce past success—and cannot afford public failures.

G.They are self-improvers, chasing a dream rather than a laborious,life-long career within a group.

Task 3

Perseverance is a unique precondition for success in life.We can prove this fact when we look at the reality of life and the history of man's success.Perseverance helps us do what we otherwise would consider impossible to do.

__1__ All he has to do is keep doing and doing without being cast down.Success will come someday or other, though it may apparently be the conception that it cannot be done.__2__ But the reality is that man's success depends on whether he can do the toughest tasks successfully.And to succeed in this tough battle, perseverance and hard work is a must.

Perseverance is the secret of success.Without it, no great achievement is possible.Even if a person is not very talented, nor highly knowledgeable, still he can succeed in life simply by his perseverance.Every action has its reaction.__3__ It must yield results.Even a genius can hardly succeed in life without knowing how to use his brain and labor.All the great men in history, Issac Newton, Columbus, Robert Bruce, etc., have written their names in golden letters by means of perseverance.__4__

If one looks at his own life, he can very well understand that whatever he has so far gained, he has gained it only by his hard labor, and not by chance.Therefore, perseverance must be practiced.__5__ It helps us achieve many goals in life.

A.So hard labor has no alternative.

B.They have been changing the world.

C.Virtually, there is nothing that man cannot do.

D.In this way, the noble habit becomes a part of one's life.

E.In human life, the role of perseverance is often ignored.

F.Their success will always remain as perfect examples to us.

G.The task that is easily done at the first attempt is undoubtedly very easy.
