I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it es to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my pany and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I, m doing the right thing. tm buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.24. Why does the writer regard “if only, , as two of the saddest words in the English language?A. Because people use them when they feel sad.B. Because they express regret and disappointment in life.C. Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences.D. Because they mean sad in the English language.25. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3?A. Given up.B. e across.C. Got through.D. Held back.26. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A. see a doctorB. finish her workC. join a celebrationD. acpany her father27. What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice from My FatherB. Avoidance of Saying “If Only”C. The “Extra Minute” RuleD. The Importance of Emotional Well-beingCImagine this scene: its blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being doesnt have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. Its often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isnt only limited to the cold winter months it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summers day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.28. The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories29. What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.30. Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.31. The author writes this passage to .A. explainB. persuadeC. mentD. advertiseDYoull probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things and many more without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, its long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out plex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or superputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary puter experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary puter uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? Al these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to puter games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you dont have to use it if you dont want to.32. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?A. A keyboard, a headset and a superputer.B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.C. A headset, data gloves and a superputer.D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.33. Paragraph 3 is mainly about .A. the principles of virtual realityB. the applications of virtual realityC. the history of virtual realityD. the influences of virtual reality34. According to the passage, virtual reality means .A. imagining beautiful things in our mindB. creating something that doesnt existC. experiencing things that dont really existD. cloning something that has died out35. What is the writers attitude towards VR?A. Appreciative.B. Cautious.C. Skeptical.D. Indifferent.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）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。A cobra (眼镜蛇) was set free on September 10 in a park in Xiangtan City, South Chinas Hunan Province. 36 And they began hunting for the deadly creature to try to prevent it from hurting anyone.In the name of mercy, some people free captive (关在笼子里的) animals, including foreign species, mostly bought from pet shops or markets. 37 Last April, someone freed hundreds of foxes and raccoon dogs in a Beijing suburb, causing economic losses to animal farmers and endangering the safety of local residents. 38 Besides, today people are increasingly aware of the importance of environmental protection and biodiversity.
