Many people say that they don’t have time. But if we analyze this statement a little more, it usually comes from people who have no written schedule.

They have no time to play, to 31 parents and children, and to rest for their own health.

Having time, or having no time often 32 from the priorities（优先）we own.

I play because I think 33 has a higher priority than other things. We can find many people who are still working, 34 most people have slept their time away. Why? Because they have a 35 .

Is your family a priority for you? Surely, will there be time for them? Do you have time for a 39 to each other, because there is certainly a priority you 40 it? You have time for the investment; that means you put priority on it.

A priority will give you time and time comes upon you 41 you have a priority. There’s a priority, 42 the time given; there is time, due to the priority it is given to.

Not too many people dare to spend their time challenging their life. Reason: no time. Time is prepared and split（分开）from our whole available time. If we don’t pick out time, time will be 43 . You have to 44 your time and find a priority so that you feel 45 about yourself most of the time.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

阅读下面四篇短文。

从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Dear Anne,

I like your column very much. I met a girl four years ago at a gym. She was the one who originally approached me and we became good friends. Then one day, she made me really angry, so angry that I just left and we never saw each other again.

Looking back, I really regret ending things that way. It was a cowardly act on my part, but I had a terrible temper at that time and let the smallest thing get to me. Recently, I’ve started thinking about her again and I looked up her e-mail address. I thought about writing to say “Hi” and apologize for what I did but I’m not sure. She could still be angry with me, or maybe she has forgotten me. I feel very lonely and I want to see her again. What should I do?

Tom

Dear Tom,

She may still be angry with you, and she may have forgotten the friendship between you, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve an apology. Tom, how many of us have wished for the day that someone who treated us badly saw the light and finally owned up? But we rarely get that kind of expected result. So sure, e-mail her and say “Hi”.Tell her you have been thinking about her and just want to apologize for getting angry and being a coward by walking out on her. But you should remember if she thinks you’re apologizing just because you are lonely, she might dismiss your sincerity. Therefore, don’t mention that. If she wants to see you again, she’ll make sure that happens.

Even if she doesn’t want to be your friend, I can assure you, she’ll appreciate the gesture. And it might make you think twice next time you get angry.

Anne

46. In the letter, Anne is probably ___________.

A. Tom’s friend B. Tom’s teacher C. a woman reporter D. a columnist

47. What is troubling Tom？

A. He can’t get in touch with his former friend.

B. He regrets letting his former friend leave him.

C. He doesn’t know whether to apologize to his former friend.

D. He is uncertain whether his former friend can forgive him.

48. The underlined phrase “owned up” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.

A. returned one’s wealth B. admitted one’s mistake

C. recovered one’s courage D. controlled one’s feeling

49. Anne wants to tell Tom that ________.

A. an apology is better late than never

B. he should think twice before he gets angry

C. it’s no use crying over spilt milk

D. he should answer for his wrong doings

B
