Period One Warming Up & Reading
Ⅰ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Things successful people do before sleep
Read.Experts agree that reading is the very last thing most successful people do before going to sleep.__1__ This isn’t necessarily reserved just for business reading or inspirational reading.Many successful people find value in being browsers of information from a variety of sources, believing it helps fuel greater creativity and passion in their lives.
Reflect on the day.__2__ They think of three things they are appreciative of that happened that day.Keeping a gratitude journal also reminds people of the progress they made that day in any aspect of their life, which in turn serves as a key way to stay motivated.
__3__ Clearing the mind for a good night sleep is important for a lot of successful people.Often they will take this time to write down a list of any items to address the following day, so these thoughts don’t end up entering their head space during the night.
Lie down on a positive note.It’s easy to fall into the trap of replaying negative situations from the day that you wish you’d handled differently.Regardless of how badly the day went, successful people typically manage to avoid that pessimistic spiral of negative self-talk because they know it will only create more stress.__4__
Picture tomorrow’s success.Many successful people take a few minutes before bed to image a positive outcome.__5__ For most, this is not a task or exercise; they’re wired with a gift of solid resolution skills that come naturally.
A．Make your to-do list.
B．Spend time with family.
C．They look forward to the future.
D．It’s a great way to relax your body and quiet your mind
E．Successful people block off time just before bed for reading.
F．Many successful people take the time just before bed to look back.
G．Remember to take some time to reflect on the positive moments of the day.
答案 1.E [本段标题为Read，选项E中的for reading与标题内容一致。故选E。]
2．F [本段标题为Reflect on the day.(回顾过去的一天)，选项F中的to look back正是“回顾”之意。故选F。]
3．A [根据本段中的Often they will take this time to write down a list of any items to address the following day可知，本段主要说明的是成功人士在睡前制定工作安排。故选A。]
4．G [本段标题为Lie down on a positive note，选项G中的the positive moments of the day与标题相符。故选G。]
5．C [本段标题为Picture tomorrow’s success，选项C的意思为“他们展望未来”，与标题相符。故选C。]
Ⅱ.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
It’s always thought that only those heavy things make people hard to endure.But as a matter of fact, those slight things are__1__(much) difficult to resist.It’s slight, but it will always be in the bottom of your heart, making it __2__ (possible) for you to get rid of it all through your life.
It’s just like John Nash in “A Beautiful Mind”．You can imagine how terrible it is to live in a world full of mental illusion.When he realizes__3__(clear) about all of these but can’t get rid of the illusions, his mentality will be on the edge __4__ collapsing.On the other hand, Nash is happy and__5__(luck) because his wife companied with him.She used her wifely heart to forgive all.When her husband__6__(be) weak, she opened the window of his heart with her soft hands.She used her wifely endurance to go forward step by step in the difficult life.She used her wifely __7__ (persist) of love.
I can still remember the scene that when old Nash __8__ (stand) on the stage of Nobel Prizes, he looked at his wife full of love.I think Nash has found the answer of Balance Theory __9__ he has been studying throughout his life.The balance of his life is the love of his wife.
__10__ changes a lot with time, only love will last forever.
答案 1.most/more [用more作对比或用most表示最高级。]
2．impossible [根据句意可知应该用possible的反义词。]
3．clearly [用副词形式修饰动词realizes。]
4．of [on the edge of是固定短语，意为“在……的边缘；濒于”。]
5．lucky [用luck的形容词lucky与前面的形容词happy保持一致。]
6．was [her husband是单数第三人称，事件发生在过去。]
7．persistence [句中缺少宾语，故用所给动词的名词形式作宾语。]
8．stood [根据空格后面的动词looked at可知，空格处也应该用动词过去式形式。]
9．that/which [缺少定语从句引导词。]
10．Everything [根据句意“一切事物都随时间而改变”可知应该填Everything。]
Ⅲ.阅读理解
Ada Byron who was born in 1815, was the daughter of the British poet Lord Byron and Anne Milbanke.Her parents separated just a month after Ada was born.Four months later, Byron left England forever.Ada never met her father (who died in Greece in 1824) and was raised by her mother.
Lady Byron wished her daughter to be unlike her father and she insisted that Ada, who was educated privately, study mathematics.Ada did well not only in mathematics and science, but also in music and dance.
Ada met Charles Babbage in 1833.Babbage was a famous English mathematician.He was known as the inventor of a calculating machine called the Difference Engine.Babbage had made plans in 1834 for a new kind of calculating machine (although the Difference Engine was not finished), an Analytical Engine(分析机)．Few people in England supported his plans.But he found suport for his new calculating machine abroad.In 1842, an Italian mathematician, Louis Menebrea, published an article in his native language on the subject of the Analytical Engine.Babbage asked Ada to translate the article.
When she showed Babbage her translation，he suggested that she add her own notes, which turned out to be three times as long as Menabrea’s.The notes brought her great fame.In her notes, Ada predicted that such a machine might be used to write music, to draw pictures, and would be used for both practical and science use.She was correct.
Ada died of cancer in 1852.In 1980, 165th years after Ada’s birth, the US Defense Department announced a powerful new computer language.They named it Ada in honour of Ada Lovelace’s important role in the history of computing.
【语篇解读】 美国防务部在1980年将新的计算机语言命名为Ada，是为了纪念Ada Byron。你想了解这个伟大的人物吗？
1．It can be inferred that Ada’s mother ________．
A．was too poor to send Ada to accept normal education
B．wanted her daughter to be a great poet as her father
C．didn’t think Ada could do well in her studies
D．hoped that Ada became a mathematician one day
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第二段中的and she insisted that Ada, who was educated privately, study mathematics.可以推测：Ada的妈妈坚决要求自己的女儿学习数学，是希望将来她能成为一个数学家。]
2．Why didn’t Babbage find support for his Analytical Engine in Britain?
A．Because his first calculating machine was not finished.
B．Because no one in Britain thought the machine was useful.
C．Because most of his previous inventions proved useless.
D．Because British people were not interested in his invention.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第三段Babbage had made plans in 1834 for a new kind of calculating machine (although the Difference Engine was not finished), an Analytical Engine(分析机)．Few people in England supported his plans.可知，Babbage在英国找不到支持的原因是因为他的第一部计算机还没有完成。]
3．Menabrea’s article on Analytical Engine was written in ________．
A．English B．Italian
C．French D．German
答案 B [细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知，Menabrea是意大利人，他用自己的母语写的文章，故知这篇文章是用意大利语写的。]
4．We can learn about Ada from the passage that ________．
A．she was remembered as a great translator
B．her predictions in her notes have become true
