4 . It can be hard to be enthusiastic about your job after you’ve been at it for a while.     1     There are so many different things you can try to help make your old job feel a little more exciting.

    2     Having goals that extend above and beyond your normal day-to-day routines can help you stay motivated. Choose goals you can meet, but also ones that will require a bit of a push.

Keep busy and note your progress.  Feeling a sense of accomplishment can go a long way toward improving mood. Time goes by faster when you’re busy.     3     Check items off a list. Keep track of your successes. Staying busy and aware of all your progress could help rid your boredom.

Talk to your boss about changing up your responsibilities. You might feel more excited about your job if your duties and responsibilities shifted. Think about how you might like to adjust things, and then consider talking with your boss about making a switch.     4    

Be intentional and reflective about your experience at work. To fully appreciate an experience, you need to take time to process it. This can be difficult when work has become predictable and routine.     5     William Arruda, a famous writer, suggests a Friday afternoon ritual(仪式). “It’s an opportunity to reflect on the week and document three important aspects: Something I accomplished, something I’m grateful for, and something I learned,” Arruda wrote.

A．Set some goals for your work.

B．This doesn’t necessarily mean you need a new job.

C．So you might have to get a little intentional about it.

D．Have strong intentions to work hard to achieve your goals.

E．So be aware of everything you’re getting done each day at work.

F．Surely, a new position in the company or office will excite you a lot.

G．Be deliberate about this and you’ll see each week as being a little different.

5 . Do You Have a Positive Attitude?

Who would you rather hang around with? Someone who always acts in low spirits? Or someone who manages to see the good around him，even when things aren't always going great?     1    

Having a positive attitude can help you in many ways.     2    Your friends will definitely appreciate you more if you see the silver lining rather than just the dark clouds!

    3    The less pressure you feel, the better you will feel overall. So if you've been feeling tired, put on a happy face and you just might feel better soon.

But how can you have a positive attitude when life is hard? It's more than just turning life's lemons into lemonade.     4    But it's worth it.

A positive attitude doesn't mean ignoring life's troubles. It just means looking for the good in things, rather than being a pessimist and concentrating on the bad in things. Sometimes your attitude can make all the difference.

Identify (识别) those areas of your life that might not be going so well.     5    Focus on one at a time and think of ways you can find the positive in things.

A．The answer is to have a positive attitude.

B．Having a positive attitude can take some hard work.

C．They are likely to make you have negative thoughts.

D．Having a positive attitude can also reduce your stress level.

E．If you have a positive attitude, you're more fun to be around.

F．When you feel better physically, you naturally feel better mentally.

G．It's no surprise that people enjoy being around positive people rather than negative people.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have loads of friends. He showed off a lot, always talking about how many friends he had at school, and how he was so friendly with everyone else.

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions, acquaintances, or partners in crime.”

Mario accepted the bet without hesitation. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether or not his schoolmates were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need.   It’s in the attic. Wait here a minute.”

Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair.   It’s rather tricky to sit on because it’s invisible, but if you take it to your school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll activate its magic and you’ll be able to tell who your real friends are.”

Mario, brave and determined, took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Don’t move. You’re about to see something amazing.”

And Mario attempted to sit on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a slight technical problem,” he said, making another attempt. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks, and a few catcalls. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground… until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, staying in mid-air—some friends were standing behind him.

注意；1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Looking around, Mario saw three of his best friends holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After the show, Mario told the three best friends about the bet and took them to see his grandfather.

7 . Standing at the finish line, 70-year-old Bob Long spent a while reflecting on the achievement he’d just made. Behind him was the wild, endless Mongolian grassland extending into the distance. This American had just become the oldest person ever to complete and win the Mongol Derby, the world’s longest horse race.

Long, a rider all his life, entered the race after being inspired by All the Wild Horses, a movie based on the grueling event.

Fearing that he wouldn’t be able to complete it, he set about preparing his mind and body for this “hardest, toughest, most demanding thing you can do on a horse”, an annual 1,000-kilometer race that was recognized as the world’s longest horse race by The Guinness Book of Records in 2011.

Although Long had been riding horses for many years, the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely on his own will. The race organizers had provided an extensive support network to keep an eye on the participants from afar. Despite that, the physical strain of riding such a long distance made simple things like squatting (蹲) down at the end of the day almost impossible.

Along the vast race course there were unpredictable circumstances beyond Long’s control, however well prepared he’d been. Weather was one of them, which could switch from heavy rain to burning sun unexpectedly.

Above all else, the biggest obstacle was the state of mind. Without a living soul in sight, Long was desperate for interaction, guidance, and comfort. This feeling of loneliness accounted for his hope that one of his fellow competitors would catch up.

Regardless of the hardship, Long felt a sort of spiritual adventure while traveling through the wilderness. He was provided with some memorable moments while connecting with nature. Still holding the passion for riding, Long never dismisses the idea of competing in another Mongol Derby.

1. What distinguished Bob Long from other competitors in the Mongol Derby?

A．He rode the whole race course alone.

B．He was the oldest participant of the horse race.

C．He was most likely to enter the competition again.

D．He was made into The Guinness Book of Records in 2011.

2. What does the underlined word “grueling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Pains-taking but senseless.	B．Comfortable and pleasant.
C．Difficult and exhausting.	D．Romantic but time-consuming.

3. What was the biggest challenge that Long faced during the race?

A．The changeable weather.

B．The mental state in the course.

C．The difficulty in finding the right route.

D．The physical strain of riding a long distance.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．An introduction to the Mongol Derby.

B．A review of a film based on the longest horse race.

C．The contributions Bob Long made to the horse race.

D．The experience of the Mongol Derby’s oldest winner.

8 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Reading aloud is a good habit for children.

9 . These days it's hard not to have an opinion about Amazon. While some choose to focus on the negative, including workplace environment concerns in some of its warehouses or the impact that online retail（零售）has had on traditional physical retail stores, many others are extraordinarily grateful for the ability the company has provided during the pandemic（大流行病）to easily order almost anything and receive it in a timely, reliable manner without having to step outside their homes.

The debate is the positive impact that the company is having on small businesses, including minority-owned businesses. Amazon's Prime Day Event（scheduled for Oct. 13-14）offers an interesting example.

Given the convenience of huge traffic（物流）on Prime Day , that's powerful motivation for consumers to purchase from small businesses—something that a lot of people may not have tried just yet. The move also encourages the company which helps small businesses across the US, which represent over 99. 5% of all US businesses and employ half the country's workforce. While many might assume that Amazon and other online retailers have only negatively impacted small businesses（and, no doubt, many small businesses have been hurt by the rapid shift to online shopping brought on by the pandemic）, there's a whole range of small businesses that have benefited from being on Amazon.

Some of these are existing small businesses that have successfully transitioned to functioning in the digital world of online shopping, while others are new small businesses that have been created specifically for the online world, including app developers, content creators, and more. Toyin Kolawole, an entrepreneur（企业家）who immigrated to the U. S. from Nigeria about 20 years ago, provides some fascinating experiences. "I started my company with two products and would go to food shows trying to get noticed," she said. "It was very expensive to participate and hard to make an impact." But she eventually succeeded in getting some of her products into Walmart and Mariano's. "With Amazon, I could take my flour and just put it in the flour section, so it gave me the opportunity to compete fairly," she says.

1. What is implied about Amazon in the first paragraph?

A．Most people pay little attention to small business on Amazon recently.

B．Many are satisfied with the convenience it brings to their shopping during the pandemic.

C．Many people think it has negative impact on traditional physical retail stores.

D．People are rarely concerned about the workplace environment in some of is warehouses.

2. What can we know about Prime Day Event on Amazon?

A．The event represents 99.5% of US business and employs half the country's workforce.

B．The interesting event of Amazon is scheduled from now to October 13-14.

C．Consumers are motivated to do online shopping for convenient delivery on that day.

D．This event has done more harm to small businesses by the rapid shift to online shopping.

3. What does the underlined word "transitioned" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Adapted.	B．Related.
C．Contributed.	D．Changed.

4. What does Toyin Kolawole mostly probably think of Amazon?

A．It was helpful for her to be given the opportunity to compete fairly.

B．It was very expensive to start the small business on Amazon.

C．It was hard to make her products to have an impact on Amazon.

D．It was useless to go to food shows trying to get noticed on Amazon.

10 . Yesterday I drove to the grocery store with my son. In front of us in line was a little girl with her mother. The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking almost broke the mother’s _________, “I’m sorry, Honey, but we just can’t afford it.”
