A land of diversity*阅读理解。I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often Im smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep，we may run over the day in our minds，and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV，read the news on our smart phones or tablets，or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告)all the good thats happening in the world and work emails make us feel that were still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but，with the odd exception，I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless its something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating，when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful nights sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a fort blanket for me.Id suggest you find lighthearted reading as a fort blanket at bedtime，especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time，or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain，it strengthens the immune system，its good for the heart，and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons，I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.1What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?AThey make people run over the past days.BThey are the best books to be read before people sleep.CThey are extremely popular with young people.DThey make people feel relaxed and happy.2What can we know from the text?AOor Wullie and The Broons are the authors favorite books.BA fortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.CThe author sometimes reads something about inspirations.DReading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.3What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?AWhat material brings us laughter.BHow laughter affects our health.CWhat benefits laughter brings to us.DWhy laughter is good for us.4Whats the main purpose of the text?ATo show the importance of reading before sleeping.BTo prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.CTo tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.DTo explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过叙述自己睡前的一些阅读习惯，告诉人们如何减少睡前的压力以及睡前保持好心情的重要性。【难句分析】I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often Im smiling before I go to sleep.分析：第二个句子中包含before引导的时间状语从句。译文：我喜欢阅读Oor Wullie和The Broons。睡前(读这两本书时)我常常会(带着)微笑入睡。1D考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often Im smiling before I go to sleep”可知Oor Wullie和The Broons这两本书会使人们感到放松和快乐。2C考查推理判断。根据第三段最后一句中的“I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless its something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life”可推知，作者有时候会阅读一些鼓舞人心的书。A项内容文章未涉及，故排除；根据第四段最后一句“Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a fort blanket for me”可知，作者只是打比方，故排除B；根据第四段第一至二句可排除D。3C考查段落大意。根据第六段第一句“If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel even better”及该段的描述可知，该段的主题是笑带给我们的好处。4B考查写作意图。根据第一段中的“I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm”及第四段第二句“Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful nights sleep”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是证明睡前有一个好心情的重要性。*语法填空。Creativity is a mysterious idea. We seem _1_ (feel) that some people are naturally creative, but we dont know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift, or is _2_ something that can _3_ (acquire)? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process _4_ (careful), we might get some insight (洞察力) into what it is and _5_ it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a part only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone _6_ (imagine) the world differently from the way others saw it. And this is _7_ creativity is all about. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imagination, we all have the potential to imagine the world in _8_ absolutely new way. In fact, you are born _9_ it. And whats more, you use it every day. Its your creative mind _10_ gets meaning from chaos of experiences and brings order to your world.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以获得？本文就这一话题展开了讨论。1to feel 考查非谓语动词。我们感觉似乎某些人天生具有创造力。seem to do sth.“似乎要做某事”。2it 考查代词。创造力是天生的才华，还是后天也可以习得的？这里用it指代creativity。3be acquired 考查被动语态。先行词something和acquire之间是被动关系，又因为情态动词can后要用动词原形，故此空填be acquired。4carefully 考查词性转换。也许如果我们仔细分析创造的过程，我们就会洞察到什么是创造力，它是如何在我们的生活中起作用的。这里用副词修饰动词analyze。5how 考查特殊疑问词。此处表述创造力是如何在我们生活中起作用的。由语义可知填how。6imagining 考查with的复合结构。每次重大的科学发现都以某个人以不同于其他人的方式看待这个世界开始。此处为“with宾语宾语补足语”结构，宾语和宾补之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此空填imagining。7what 考查名词性从句的连接词。创造力就是用一种新的方式想象世界。空格处引导表语从句并在从句中作介词about的宾语，故填连接代词what。8an 考查冠词。我们都有这种潜能，用一种全新的方式想象这个世界。absolutely的发音以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an，表泛指。9with 考查介词。事实上，你天生具有创造力。be born with “生而具有”。10that 考查强调句。正是创造性思维使得你从混乱的经历中找到意义，给你的世界带来秩序。由强调句基本结构“It is/was被强调部分that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)其他部分”可确定答案。*完形填空。I met my true fate as I lay on a soccer field, holding on desperately to my consciousness.
