10、s, use one word that best fits each blank.How to Become a Morning Person?You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy _21_ a

11、nything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to _22_ at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something _23_ matters.Its not fun

12、to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, _24_（become）a morning person is more doable than you think.I first learned that mornings _25_ be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer

13、s schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad _26_ she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get

14、 up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she _27_（finish）preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Getup an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or yo

15、u can spare some time for those creative desires _28_（bury）deep in your heart and hard to nurture.But many will argue：Im not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at _29_ they re spending the hours before bed, theyll find they

16、have wasted much time on the TV programs they dont mean _30_（watch）. Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didnt like in high school anyway.A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.五、选用适当的单词或

Note that there is one word more than you need.AnecessityBthreatCneighbouringDadjustedE. unlikelyF. declineG. cooperatedH. questionsI. profitableJ. imposingK. gainsNew York and New TaxAccordi

18、ng to a Manhattan Institute survey, more than half of high-earning New Yorkers are working entirely from home and 44% are considering leaving the city. Ned Lamont, Connecticuts governor, has said “the old idea of the commuter(通勤者) going into New York City five days a week may be outdated.” It does s

19、eem _31_ that the tens of thousands commuting from Mr. Lamonts state will continue to do so. The regions governors have _32_ well together to deal with the pandemic(流行病), but the friendliness may soon end over taxes.When people from _33_ states like New Jersey and Connecticut commute to New York to

20、work for a New York-based employer, they must pay New York tax on the related earned income. Even those who work from home must pay New York taxes unless the employee is working outside New York by _34_.Taxpayers and those states are looking closely at this loophole(漏洞). In December, Connecticut and

21、 New Jersey applied to the Supreme Court to consider a case which _35_ a states authority to tax non-residents income while they are working remotely. They think this is definitely a(n) _36_ to the citys finances. “Firms have considered leaving the city before, and employees are gradually accepting

22、the idea. They have been working remotely for almost ten months and theyve _37_ to that idea.”Companies are also watching the progression of the billionaire Mark to Market Tax Act, which would treat capital _38_ from billionaires property as taxable income. New Yorks Democratic governor said he woul

23、d reject any laws _39_ heavy taxes on the rich, because it would drive out wealthy, mobile residents. It would not take too many moving trucks for the city to feel the economic loss, says Michael Hendrix. A 5% _40_ of New Yorkers making about $10,000 would result in an annual loss of $933mroughly th

24、e amount distributed to the citys health department.六、完形填空Certainty：Over-rated and Over-rewardedType the words “kind of” or “perhaps” into an email in Microsoft Outlook and the program might well tell you to think again. If the Al-powered “Microsoft Editor” judges that you are not sounding _41_ enou

25、gh, it will soon give you a word of warning：“Words expressing uncertainty will _42_ your impact.”To me, this suggestion precisely expresses something weve got wrong in society. We live in a world that _43_ those who speak with confidence-even when that is misplaced-and gives very little opportunity

26、to perform to those who _44_ doubt. “We tend to listen to those experts who tell us a simple, clear and confident story. Why? Because thats _45_ satisfying,” says Dan Gardner, author of Future Babble, “Thats saying let me sweep away the uncertainty for you.”Research shows that the human brain is “pr

27、ogrammed” to hate _46_：a 2016 study found that when volunteers were given electric shocks, their stress levels were highest when they had no idea whether they were going to be given a shock-higher even than subjects who were told they would _47_ get one.We should first know that while confident-soun

28、ding experts might be giving us what our brains desire, the _48_ they are providing is probably false. Psychologist Philip Tetlock divided up forecasters into “foxes” and “hedgehogs”. Foxes consider all sorts of different approaches sand perspectives, and combine those into distinct conclusions. _49

29、_, hedgehogs tend to view the world through the lens of one single defining idea. That makes the hedgehogs _50_ forecasters but more likely to get attention.Perhaps we care less about the truth and more about enjoying some sense of _51_ however short-lived that might be. But wouldnt it be better if

30、we held experts to account? Mr. Gardner suggests tagging speakers with some kind of record of previous _52_ much as we are given performance statistics for racehorses or baseball players.Highly confident statements also _53_ polarization（两极化）, encouraging others to respond in the same kind of langua

31、ge when they disagree. “Theres a natural tendency to push back with equal amounts of _54_ says Daniel Drezner, a political scientist.Is it time to give a bit more attention to the _55_? Full of certainty on the need to stop paying so much attention to those expressing certainty, I say yes.41AtimidBr

She usually welcomes friends and neighbors who are eager to taste her fried turkey, green bean casserole, candied yams, homemade cornbread dressing, and dirty rice-just a few of he

35、r signature dishes. Known as Sugar Mama, because her grandchildren think shes so sweet, the 91-year-old typically likes to do her own shopping for the ingredients to make her special dishes.“My mother is the head cook of the family,” said Panulette Mouton, Mayfields daughter. “Because of her reputat

36、ion, you know, therere people in and out all day and every family comes through. They want to get some of Sugar Mamas cooking, and some of them would like to learn from her how to cook the food.”But Mayfield hasnt been to the grocery store since March. And there is little about Thanksgiving in 2020

37、thats usual. Because of Covid-19, the deadly virus that has killed millions in the U.S. and spoiled life around the world, everything is different. Since limiting close face-to-face contact with others is the best way to reduce its spread, hundreds of thousands of American families have re-imagined

38、the holiday with virtual celebrations and canceled or delayed travel plans. There can only be small gatherings with people in their households in response to COVID-19.This year, Mayfields family members, without exception, are lamenting the absence of a big gathering. Theyve explained to their young

39、 children and grandchildren why this years Thanksgiving is different. Mayfields youngest daughter, Michelle Sanders, says its tough to help her grandchildren understand why they cant see some of their other family members and why they have to stay at home, celebrating Thanksgiving all by themselves.

40、“Its really hard, trying to explain to them,” Sanders said. “When-youre talking to them and they want to come over, you have to tell them no. They really dont know how to be careful.” Sanders added, “And, they dont understand that, being three, four, and six, you know they dont really understand tha

41、t. So, its.its really, really hard, and heartbreaking.”56According to the passage, Hazel Mayfield is _.Ahelpful and kind-heartedBstubborn and enthusiasticCtalented and instructiveDgrateful and sensitive57The underlined word in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by _.Afascinated byBupset aboutCignorant
