For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blan

15、k with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct. (A)“Time,” says the proverb, “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.If our time (25) _ (employ) usefully, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work wh

16、ich will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those, (26) _ think nothing of wasting time, remember this.Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a

17、form of suicide. We are shocked (27) _ we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life.But we often care nothing about the loss of an hour or of a day, (28) _ (forget) that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. Our life is a brief perio

18、d measuring some seventy or eighty years in all.So a day or an hour (29) _ (waste) is therefore so much life lost.But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in watching over the sick-beds of our (30) _ (near) relatives; some in making jour

19、neys on land and voyages by sea.Now if all these years were to be decreased from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal (处置) for active work. (31) _ remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.The precious hours of ch

20、ildhood and youth, if properly used, (32) _ (supply) us with incalculable advantages. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to make up for the loss. (B)Home on the WayPeople need homes: children assume their parents place as home; boarders call school “home” on

21、 weekdays; married couples work together (33) _ (build) new homes; and travelers have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights.So how (34) _ people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Dont they have the right to have a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their

22、own belongings: like bed sheets, toothbrushes and family photos to make them feel like home (35) _ _ _ they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others (36) _ simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things mor

23、e homely. Furthermore, driving a camping car during ones travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like (37) _ is generally thought of as “home” - only mobile!And how about maintaining relationships while in transit? Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and

24、 postcards, or even photos; (38) _ may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that theyre still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. (39) _ (make) friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even

25、 closer than siblings.Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make

26、 (40) _ place where we stay “home”.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

28、 a series of walking guide books called “Beyond the Concession: Six Walks in Shanghais Other Districts.” And Bakers “Jiading” runs the fourth among the six.From a foreign point of view, the book has _42_ the history of Jiading District back between the year Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the Song Dynast

29、y (960-1279), when Jiading had been “a leading economic and intellectual influence in the region long before Shanghai became a major trading port,” as Baker is _43_ in her book. Baker first landed in Shanghai in 2017 with her husband, an engineer with Ford, who was sent to work in Shanghai to prepar

30、e for the _44_ of the Lincoln brand in China. “I and my husband have been traveling around the world in the past 20 years,” Baker said at a(n) _45_ with Shanghai Daily. “Wherever I go, I would jump into the local history and culture quickly and deeply.”Having taken a 15-month online course of Chines

31、e with Harvards “China X”, Baker started _46_ out on her own. An occasional excursion into the northwest of Shanghai, she “discovered” and fell in love with Jiading.
