高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

A. Get started!

B. Forget your failures.

C. Find and use your positive voice.

D. Think about how far you have come.

E. Spend time with people who inspire you.

F. Accept failure as a positive learning experience.

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things. You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything. This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action. Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.

1.________

This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you. Not starting is failing. Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.” And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.

2. ________

Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident. You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice. A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.

Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of positivity and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.

3. ________

There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you. They are smart and can always encourage you to be better. Study their qualities. Study their habits. Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to. Compare stories, successes and failures. Let their inner light guide you.

4.________

You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it. Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done. Think about it. Write down your past successes. Consider using a journal to keep track of them. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results. It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come. Be happy with your progress and move on.

5. ________

Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime. When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it. Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent. And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success. Push through!

Lawns（草坪）are some of the most common things in the world until you really start thinking about them. That’s when you realize that they make no sense. Why do people keep these uninteresting, pointless little plants outside their homes? They’re not beautiful like flowers, they don’t provide food and you have to take care of them constantly.

Israeli bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari thought these deeds were weird too. He looked into their history and ended up with an interesting story.

No one considered putting patches of grass outside their homes in ancient times. That changed in the Middle Ages, when French and English kings and nobles started putting patches of grass at their castle entrances.

“Well-kept lawns demand land and a lot of work,” wrote Harari in his book. “In exchange, they produce nothing of value.” Peasants could never afford to waste their time or land on lawns, so these lawns were a perfect status symbol（身份的象征）for nobility（高贵）.

When the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th and 19th centuries, the middle classes started being able to afford their own suburban（郊区的）houses. And guess what became the suburban status symbol? A perfectly kept lawn.

The popularity of lawns continued to grow, taking over public event spaces and sports. In the past, people played sports on all kinds of surfaces—dirt, ice, sand. But in the last couple centuries, they made the switch to green grass.

“Grass is nowadays the most widespread crop in the USA after corn and wheat,” Harari continued. Lawns spread beyond Europe and the U.S, and they’re now status symbols around the world.

Suburban people may not realize it, but they care for lawns just because centuries ago, French and English kings wanted to show off by intentionally planting something useless. It’s strange that people should continue to spend so much time and money on what’s really a leftover（遗留物）from the Middle Ages. When you plan your house, you can shake off（摆脱）the cultural leftover and imagine for yourself a rock garden or some other new creation.

1.What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.strange B.ordinary

C.beneficial D.attractive

2.What could lawns indicate in the 19th century?

A.Environmental awareness. B.People’s taste.

C.Cultural background. D.Personal wealth.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards keeping lawns?

A.Uncaring. B.Disapproving.

C.Favorable. D.unclear.

4.What might be the best title for the text?

A.The Function of Lawns B.The Value of Lawns

C.The History of Lawns D.The Management of Lawns

Coming to the end of my assistantship in Barcelona, I start to think about what the future might hold.

It’s been seven months and a few days since I arrived here and things have changed so much in what some might call a short period of time. When I first arrived in Terrassa I was excited and nervous to start a new adventure in a country I love. The first few days seem so long ago now, trying to find a place to live, organizing my timetable with the schools, meeting new people.

However, a fortnight later, the excitement started to fade and I began to spend more than a few nights thinking about family and friends back home, wondering if I should be there with them. Everything started to change after meeting some new friends and spending good time with them, eating together and seeing new places as a group. I suppose we should never forget how important it is to have good people in your life, because they can make a difference.

Coming back to Terrassa after visiting home for Christmas felt like returning to a second home, to a place that was mine with people I cared about. Things got even busier and more people came into my life; new friends, romance and a whole lot of good food flowed by in what seems to have been weeks, not months.

Now, looking forward, there are some decisions to make. Should I return home to Scotland and move on with life there or try to extend my time here, perhaps make it something permanent? Experiencing other cultures or learning about the world is such an important thing to do if you have the means.

My advice from my experience so far is to travel and try new things whenever you get the opportunity. You may find somewhere you were always supposed to be.

1.Why did the author go to Barcelona?

A. To meet his curiosity. B. To conduct his work.

C. To begin a new adventure. D. Do experience a new culture.

2.When did the author begin to feel homesick?

A. As soon as he set foot on Terrassa.

B. When he was considering his future.

C. After a few weeks’ stay in Terrassa.

D. When he was trying to find a living place.

3.What is the author unsure about?

A. Where to spend his future life.

B. How to enjoy his life in Terrassa.

C. What to do to extend his time in Terrassa.

D. Whether to celebrate Christmas with locals.

4.What has the author learned from his experience?

A. Having a clear idea of oneself is important.

B. Traveling alone brings a great many benefits.

C. Learning about the world makes life more colorful.

D. Keeping an open mind toward new things is necessary.
