高三英语限时训练一总分65分第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共7个小题:每小题2.5分,满分17.5分)AWhat do the random, scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’ papers mean? When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class, he will probably be criticized for daydreaming. But doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering, according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.In an experiment conducted b y the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places. Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time, without paying attention to neatness, while the rest were given no such instructions. After the tape had finished, all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places. The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places, compared to only 5.8 by the non-doodlers.“If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream.” said study researcher, Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology, U niversity of Plymouth. “Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be enough tostop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”“In psychology, tests of memory or attention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process. If that process is important for the main task, then performance will be weakened. But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring task, rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.” said Andrade.Dan Ware, a social study teacher, used to consider doodling a distraction from learning, but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information. “In my first few years of teaching, I thought, ‘Well, this kid isn’t paying attention. He’s daydreaming.’ But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing, and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.” Ware said.1. What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?A. Some were asked to note down the information neatly.B. Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.C. Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.D. Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.2. Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with?A. Doodling helps some people focus.B. Doodling makes a dull task interesting.C. Students who doodle perform poorly.D. Students who doodle lack concentration.3. What is the best title of the text?A. Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study SkillsB. Doodling Can Help Memory RecallC. A Wandering Mind Improves ProductivityD. Distractions Harm Academic PerformanceBShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I kn ow it’s not true."It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack ofself-respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.4. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________. .A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people5. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characteristic6. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it. B They feel it is not true.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.7. We can learn from the passage that shyness ____________.A. blocks our chances for a successful lifeB. helps us to live up to our full developmentC. enables us to understand ourselves betterD. has nothing to do with lack of self-respect第二节七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here's the story behind it.The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the title of “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom.The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist. Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original lyrics for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also taught.The Hill sisters copyrighted their song on October 16, 1893. However, it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman's songbook on March 4,1924. Coleman chang ed part of the lyrics to say,“Happy Birthday to You”,although the song still had its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court over the copyright problem of the song. She was angry about the theft of the song and the failure to pay to her sisters. She won her case. The Hill family owned the rights to the melody and had to be paid every time the song was part of a commercial production.The Hill sisters, who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about $2 million every year.1.What's the “Happy Birthday to You” song written for at first?()A.Celebrating a person's birthday.B.Welcoming students to the classroom.C.Greeting friends when they meet.D.Playing in a party to welcome someone.2.According to the passage, which is the right order?

()A.why the “Happy Birthday to You” song is sung in outer spaceB.the story of the “Happy Birthday to You” songC.the way the sisters get back the copyrightD.the sisters make money by writing the simple little songPassage 2[2020·原创]Blue whales love to sing. Males sing to attract mates and to communicate across long distances. People are capable of hearing only certain parts of a whale song, so scientists use special audio equipment to record and study the songs in detail. Over several decades, they've noticed that the songs have gotten lower in pitch. Pitch describes how high or low a sound is.Emmanuelle Leroy and a team of scientists now think they know why. They've studied more than a million songs from five groups of whales. Last fall, the team's report was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. It sheds light on why the pitch of whale songs has gotten lower: Whales aren't singing as loudly as they used to.So why are whales singing more softly? Leroy's study presents two hypotheses(假设). The first is that there are more whales. Before the 1970s, commercial whale hunting brought whale populations near extinction. But starting in 1985, the International Whaling Commission banned commercial whaling. As the whale population has increased,whales have generally begun to live closer together. And if the whales are closer together, they don't have to sing as loudly to communicate.The study's second hypothesis is that the pitch of whale songs has dropped due to climate change. An increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has made ocean water more acidic, changing its acoustics(传声效果). Now the songs can be heard from farther away, so the whales don't have to sing as loudly. But for the environment, water that's more acidic could be damaging to some marine life.Leroy says that confirming either hypothesis would require more research. “We would need to understand how the blue whales emit the song,” she says. But that would mean studying individual whales which is hard to do. Scientists continue to study wha le songs. Each study adds to our understanding. “Maybe our hypotheses will be proven in 10 years,” Leroy says.“Science is often a journey.”5.What do scientists find after they study the whale songs? ()A.The pitch of the whale songs has become lower.B.Whales are singing as loudly to communicate.C.Whales aren't singing more softly.D.The pitch of the whales doesn't change.6.According to the two hypotheses, which is not right? ()mercial whale hunting is the reason for decrease in the number of whales.B.The whales live closer so they don't have to sing as loudly.C.Climate change leads to the lower pitch of whale songs.D.Water that's more acidic is good for the environment too.7.The underlined word “that” refers to . ()A.confirming either hypothesisB.more researchC.understanding how the blue whales emit the songD.knowing the reasons the whales singing more softly8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?()A.Scientists can prove the two hypotheses in ten years.B.Some studies are useless because they can't prove hypotheses.C.Nobody knows whether the two hypotheses can be proven or not.D.Scientists will study individual whales.【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了“我”竞选班长,但是落选了的故事。

He put his hand in the dirty river and grabbed at the necklace, but somehow 5 it.He then walked in the water and put his whole arm in. But strangely, he still missed it!He came out, feeling 6 .Then again he saw the necklace, 7 there. This time he dived into the river.

But the old man could see the clerk was 11 and promised he would not tell anyone about it. The clerk then decided to put some 12 in the old man. He talked about the necklace and how he tried to catch it, but 13 failing. The old man suggested that perhaps he should try looking upward, towards the branches of the tree, instead of in the river. The clerk looked up, and 14 enough, the necklace was hanging on a 15 . He had been trying to get a reflection(倒影) of the real necklace all the time.Material happiness is just like the polluted river, because it is a reflection of the true happiness in the spiritual world.( )1.A. competitionB. noticeC. rewardD. gift( )2.

He asked me to feed 16 birds for him and said that he would leave the key 17 his front door in my mailbox.18 (fortunate), I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse, 19 was already dark when I arrived at his house.I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door 20 the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of 21 Vernon would say when he come back.I was just going to give up 22 I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb 23 and open the window.I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone24 (shine) a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vernon’s neighbors. “What are you doing up there?” said the policeman. 25 (feel) like a complete fool, I replied, “I was ju st going to feed Mr Davies’ birds.”16. 17. 18. 19. 20.21. 22. 23. 24. 25.三、阅读理解AJust like with any relationship, building a positive relationship between parent and child is one that needs work and effort to make it strong and successful. Parenting is a tough job, and keeping close relationships and open communications helps to ensure(确保) parents and their children to stay connected through all ages of their upbringing.Tell your child you love him every day-no matter his age. Even on trying days or after a parent-child disagreement, when you don’t exactly “like your child” at that moment, it is more important than e ver to express your love. A simple “I love you” goes a long way towards developing and then strengthening(加强) a relationship.For younger children, reading a favorite bedtime book or telling stories is a ritual that will be remembered most likely throughout their life. Older children should be looked after too. Once children start reading, have them read a page, a chapter, or a short book to you. Even most te enagers still enjoy the ritual of being told “Good night” in a special way by a parent-even if they don’t act like it!The key is to really play with your children. Play with dolls, sing songs, or whatever is fun and interesting. It doesn’t matter what you play, just enjoy each other! Let kids see your lovely side. Older kids enjoy cards, chess, computer games, while younger ones will have fun playing about anything...as long as it involves you!You’ve heard this before, and it is really important! Eating together sets the stage for talking and sharing. Turn the TV off, and don’t rush through a meal. When time allows, really talk and enjoy one another. It can become a quality time most remembered by the young and the old alike.You don’t have to like their mismatched shirt and shorts or love how a child has placed pictures in his room. However, it is important to respect those choices. Children reach out for independence(独立) at a young age, and parents can help to develop those decision-making skills by being supportive and even looking the other way on occasion. ( )26. The underlined word “ritual” in Paragraph 3 refers to something .A. that is very interesting for parents and their childrenB. that can be passed from one person to anotherC. that you do regularly and in the same way each timeD. that matters much for a child’s growing process( )27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Expressing love every day between parents and children is necessary.B. Parents should tell stories to their younger children before they sleep.C. Proper dolls are very important if parents want to play with children.D. The meal time can be used for parents to have a talk with their children.( )28. The last paragraph mainly tells us that .A. children must stick to their own ideasB. parents should respect their children’s choicesC. parents should play with their childrenD. it is important to communicate with each other( )29. How many ways are mentioned in the passage to strengthen a family’s relationship?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.( )30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Keep a Positive Parent-child RelationshipB. Saying “I Love You” Is Very Important in FamilyC. What and When to Play with Your ChildrenD. Relations Between Parents and Their ChildrenBBullfighting attracts many tourists to Spain and Spanish-speaking countries. There it is an important element of culture and has a great tradition. Modern bullfighting goes back to the 1700s when the first bullrings were built in Spain.A bullfight takes place in bullring. The bullfighter has special training and is often a national hero in his homeland. The bulls used for bullfighting are very powerful, wild animals that are bred(饲养) to attack. They weigh up to 500 kg or even more. Today many animal activists are against bullfighting because bulls are treated in a cruel way and have to suffer pain in the arena(竞技场). Bullfights can also end with a bullfighter’s death or injury if he is pierced(刺穿) by a bull’s horns.A bullfight usually includes six fights. Three bullfighters with their teams fight two bulls each. A bullfight has three acts. After the bullfight begins, the bull is let into the ring. The bullfighter waves a colorful cape at the bull and tries to makeit attack. During this part he studies the movements of the bull. Then an assistant(助手) enters the arena on horseback. He makes the bull weaker by piercing his neck with sharp spikes.In the second act, the assistants of the bullfighter, called banderilleros, come into the ring on foot, run around and throw darts(镖) into the animal’s neck to make it even madder.In the final act the bullfighter is in the ring alone with the bull. He uses a small cape, waves at the bull and lures(引诱) it into attacking him. He tries to be as close to the bull as possible. Finally, he thrusts his sword into the bull’s neck and kills it. If he succeeds in pushing the sword into the bull’s shoulder blades(肩胛骨) it dies at once. After the successful performance of the bullfighter the audience get up and applaud. The bullfighter gets one or maybe even two of the bull’s ears as a reward.( )31. According to the passage, some animal activists are against bullfighting probably because .A. bullfighters are often killed or injured by the bullsB. there is too small a bull population left in Spain nowC. bulls are treated cruelly and have to suffer a lotD. bulls are afraid of people and usually attack people( )32. The assistants throw darts into the animal’s neck to .A. try to shoot the bull directlyB. have the bull run even fasterC. enter the ring on horsebackD. try to make the bull crazier( )33.

一、完形填空Guangdong people are famous for their passion for Yum Cha(饮茶), a Cantonese term which literally means “drinking tea”. And the tradition of drinking morning tea is the most special 1 of Guangdong’s tea culture, and also an important part of daily life for many locals.Now let’s take you to a Guangdong tea restaurant to 2 the authentic(真正的) Yum Cha morning tea. It’s seven o’clock in the morning. In the subway station in Guangzhou, capital of south China’s Guangdong Province, commuters(往返者) are on their 3 to work or school. Some are carrying their breakfast because they have no time to eat at home.But Tao Tao Ju Restaurant in downtown Guangzhou is full of grey-haired 4 people who are leisurely 5 their breakfast. They are sitting around 6 , chatting, drinking tea or reading a newspaper. Some people will stay here for three to four hours. Actually many young people still enjoy the 7 time of drinking tea and eating dim sums(点心), they are just too 8 to enjoy them during the morning. So many restaurants in Guangdong also begin to 9 afternoon and night tea, which attracts numerous young 10 every day. Twenty-eight-year-old Sun, who is one of them, said, “I often come here at night. My friend has come to Guangzhou for a tour. So today I will 11 her with morning tea. But I 12 come here with my husband and son at 10 p.m. to have 13 tea. We are not used to going to bed early.”As time goes by, people’s 14 of Yum Cha is changing. Teahouses and restaurants are working to 15 to the new competitive environment. These changes may offer a glimpse into the lives of the people of Guangdong.( )1. A. characteristic B. behavior C. role D. form( )2. A. feel B. taste C. make D. eat( )3. A. car B. train C. bus D. way( )4. A. happy B. elderly C. lazy D. friendly( )5. A. enjoying B. drinking C. carrying D. beginning( )6. A. rooms B. restaurants C. tables D. desks( )7. A. free B. spare C. leisure D. unforgotten( )8. A. late B. early C. happy D. busy( )9. A. supply B. serve C. sell D. drink( )10. A. customers B. students C. couples D. friends( )11. A. entertain B. provide C. cheat D. send( )12. A. never B. seldom C. sometimes D. usually( )13. A. afternoon B. morning C. evening D. night( )14. A. style B. habit C. way D. custom( )15.

As they were walking, they had an argument, and Tom was so angry that he 16 (slap) Peter hard in the face. Peter felt hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote down in the sand these words: “Today my best friend Tom slapped me in 17 face.”It was very hot, but they kept on walking and walking until they found an oasis(绿洲), 18 they decided to take a bath. Suddenly Peter got stuck in the mire(泥潭) and started drowning. Seeing that, Tom rushed over and saved him without any 19 (hesitate). After Peter got recovered from the drowning, he wrote 20 a knife ona stone: “Today my best friend Tom saved my life.”21 (feel) curious, Tom, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked Peter, “After I beat you, you wrote something in the sand, 22 just now you put down what I had done on the stone. Why?”Peter replied, “When someone hurts 23 , we should take it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good 24 us, we must carve it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”Hearing that, Tom was deeply moved and understood 25 Peter had said and what he had done.16. 17. 18. 19. 20.21. 22. 23. 24. 25.三、阅读理解AA child is always the apple of the parents’eye. Children live actively and learn more while they are having fun and in this whole world it’s the most difficult task to convince a child because they just live in their own world of fantasy and are limited to it. Parents always try one way or the other to make every day special for the child. Mothers are also required to devote additional time to the child food habits as they don’t like to eat the food which is frequently cooked, there should be something special for them. The child is the biggest attention seeker and they always long to get pampered, which is the psychology(心理状态) of all children. Otherwise they will go in a depression and therefore parents should understand children’s behavior.Spending time with the parents is the greatest need of the children. At present both parents are working so it’s becoming difficult for them to spend time with their children. But they should try to arrange a time for their little ones maybe during breakfast or at the dinner table. This communication would help parents to come close to their children and can know about their desire. Meal time is the appropriate time to talk about the events of the day.Children should have certain days especially reserved for them by their parents. This makes them feel special and strengthen the connection between the child and the parents. It is good for the family to do amusing things like playing games or going to the movies with the children. When parents express emotions and feelings towards their children, then their children will have emotional attachment with the parents. While parents discuss any important thing that concerns their child together, the problem can be solved. This kind of communication makes the child confident and learns good communication.Spending time with the children doesn’t mean that the parents always have to do something special. The only thing they have to do is to give them attention. The most basic reason that parents and children need to spend time together is to develop family relationship and connection. Spending quality time with the children doesn’t only mean taking them to a park or fun land or sitting with them in front of the TV set. It also involves the time that you have spent with your children understanding their mindset(意向).( )26. The underlined part “get pampered” in Paragraph 1 probably refersto .A. look special from othersB. be taken good care ofC. get freedom from parentsD. live in their own world( )27. Parents are advised to do the following EXCEPT to .A. make full use of meal time to communicate with childrenB. take part in some amusing activities together with childrenC. pay as much attention as possible to children’s behaviorD. keep emotions hidden and solve the problems alone( )28. Which of the following can increase children’s confidence according to the passage?A. Sharing important things with them.B. Meeting all their needs.C. Making them feeling special.D. Being in close relations with parents.( )29. Parents spending time with children in fact means .A. staying with children all the timeB. always doing something specialC. improving family relationshipD. playing with children for fun( )30. The passage is written mainly to .A. suggest parents how to get along with childrenB. warn parents to pay attention to childrenC. convince children to talk with parentsD. encourage parents to be together with childrenBRecreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and it’s sending guys like Tim Kovar to far off reaches of the globe. Kovar, a tree-climbing instructor, recently returned to the US from Brazil, where he spent time developing a tree-climbing operation thanks to the “slow travel” movement.Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cooking-the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy. Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a place’s natural surroundings and learn aboutthe ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games.“Tree climbing is a slow activity,” says Kovar. “It’s not something you do quickly and then you’re on to the next thing or event.” There is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners. This wasn’t a race against the clock or the fellow climbers. In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games. Many climbers refuse competition. There has already been so much competition in the world.“When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing,” Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michael’s Triumph, a 150-foot-tall tree. But reaching the tree top, he adds, is an entirely different feeling. Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michael’s Triumph for permission to climb.“It goes a lot smoother that way,” she says.And climbing has been included into many educational programs. New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where “we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students,” says New Tribe present Sophia Sparks. “We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees. After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation. This is not just to preserve t heir playground.”Perhaps that is why he struggle s with the term “recreational tree climbing”, saying, “I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing.”( )31. What do slow travel and the slow food movement have in common?A. They take people a long time.B. They are related to the ecotourism industry.C. They advocate protecting nature.D. They cost people little money.( )32. What do we know about tree climbing from the passage?A. People compete to see who can climb to the top first.B. It favors the experience of enjoying nature.C. It is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort.D. People view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest.( )33. Brumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to .A. beg for the safety of climbingB. expect to climb faster than her husbandC. show respect for the treeD. ask for permission of her husband( )34. Sophia Sparks prefers the term “inspirational tree climbing” because it .A. provide people with more chances to play outsideB. bring a lot of pleasure to lifeC. deepens personal love between each otherD. makes people realize they should protect trees( )35. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Tree-climbing TravellingB. Slow Travel MovementsC. Dangers of ClimbingD. Respect for Nature45分钟限时精练(二)一、完形填空本文是一篇说明文,详细地介绍了广东人充满着浓浓情意的饮茶文化。

完形填空限时练(一)AI always walk to my husband's office after work,wait for him and then we drive home together every day.One day,while I was waiting for him,a beautiful Cadillac(凯迪拉克轿车) 1 near me.I was busy 2 the car when I noticed the driver. 3 ,she was probably the most 4 woman I had ever seen outside of a movie screen.Her eyes were as blue as the sea,and she had teeth like pearls.Minutes later,a man walked over and they drove off.Sitting there,dressed in jeans and a T­shirt,I wanted to 5 .“Why is it so 6 that some people have it all?” I thought.The next week I saw her again,and after that it almost became my 7 to see her.I would 8 if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went.I wanted her to get out of the car so that I could see her in 9 length.A few weeks later,this question was 10 for me.I was waiting at my usual spot and the lady's husband came over to their car.He opened the door.The pretty woman 11 walked around to the passenger side —leaning on a walking cane.She 12 one leg with her hands and then the other.She had an artificial limb (假肢) on her left leg and a brace on her right one.As they drove away,I began to cry.When my husband arrived,I told him about what had 13 .He said that he knew her husband and that,when the lady was twelve years old,she had been 14 in a car that got stuck on the railroad tracks.Unfortunately,both her parents were killed.The rail company made a large 15 with her because the crossing had no 16 .That's 17 she owns such a nice car now.For weeks I have 18 this woman and her way of life,but now I realize how 19 I am.When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you,don't be fooled by 20 .I was about to open the door of my car when I saw a man approaching.The man pointed a(n) 21 at me.“Give me your purse!”“I don't have a purse,”I said.He kept coming.“Give me your purse!”He 22 the gun in my stomach.He reached over,seized my 23 and opened the trunk (汽车尾箱).He 24 me to the back of my car.I hesitated.“Get in,”he shouted,“now!” I did it,only 25 I knew exactly where the trunk release was.“Don't move; don't make a noise,”he 26 .He slammed the trunk shut.Everything went 27 .Right there in the trunk,my eyes were adjusting to the darkness.My fear started to 28 and my mind cleared.I knew whatever direction he turned,he would have to slow down.I waited for my 29 .He drove the car forward and then stopped.I heard another car honk behind.He then 30 and the car quickly reached 80 miles an hour.I couldn't tell where we were going.As soon as he slowed down,I pulled the 31 release,pushed it open and jumped out.I 32 through people's yards and tried to put distance and objects between the kidnapper and me.I ran back to my apartment complex and 33 doors.One finally opened and an older lady let me in.I 34 closed the door and locked it.While I was on with the 911 35 ,there was a knock at the door.Standing there was a hulking figure,a Daytona Beach police officer.He was in the neighborhood and 36 immediately.Officers 37 the kidnapper the next day.“You have no idea how 38 you are,”one of the officers told me.“Carjackings that developed into kidnappings 39 turn out well.”I knew it wasn't luck that had saved me.It was the 40 ,both of mind and of soul.Remember chances only favor those who are prepared!Time talks.It speaks more plainly than words.Time 41 in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day,for example.The time of the day when something is done can give a 42 meaning to the event.It is not a 43 to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day, 44 he is shaving or having breakfast,the time of the call shows that something is urgent and 45 immediate attention.The same meaning is 46 telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,he may think it is a 47 of life and death.The time chosen for the call 48 its importance.In social life,time plays a very 49 part.In the United States,guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the 50 to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.But this is not 51 in all countries.In other areas of the world,it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far52 because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be53 .The meaning of time 54 from place to place in the world. 55 ,misunderstandings often arise between people from different cultures that 56 time differently.For example, promptness(准时) is 57 greatly in American life.If people are not prompt,they may be regarded as 58 or not fully responsible.In the US,no one would think of keeping a business partner 59 for an hour; it would be too rude.A person who is five minutes late is 60 to make a short apology.A本文是一篇记叙文。
