Why did I 44 see our children finish college, fall in love, get married and have children of their own? Why did he have to miss all the things? The problem with blaming 45 for things that aren t our fault is that it blinds us to beauty and numbs (使麻木 ) us to life. It hurts, not just us, but everyone close to us. And yet how do we make it stop? I still don t know the answer to this, but what I ve learned so far is: Guilt is a feeling begging to be an action. It doesn t want you to feel bad. It wants you to46 . So I do. I try to act in a way that turns guilt into honor. To honor my brother, I try to see everything he can t. To honor my47 husband, I try to be alive in ways he used to be.

How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat beside me on the airplane. She had to lower herself slowly, squeezing her ample (大的 ) bottom into the space. Positioning herself comfortably, she put her enormous arm on the armrest. I didn t reply and leaned (倾斜 ) toward the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice. “ Hi, ” I replied. “ My name is Laura. I m from Britain. How about you?” A palm waved in front of my face. “ Malaysia.” I shook her hand reluctantly (不情愿地 ). Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “ I don t want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity (真诚 ). To my surprise, the face that I had disliked hours before slowly showed an 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 13 页6 extraordinary smile lively and calm at the same time. I couldn t help but let down my guard. Laura was an interesting conversationalist. She was well-read in many subjects, from philosophy ( 哲学 ) to science. She turned a seemingly unimportant subject into something to explore and understand. Her comments were humorous and inspirational (有启发性的 ). When the topic turned to our cultures, I was surprised by her intelligent comments and well-thought-out analysis. I asked Laura: “ Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You aren t worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?”“ Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “ This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. You see advertisements from exercise centers that say: Liberate (解放 ) yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself. It s rubbish! You re liberated only if you re comfortable with who you are.”She sipped (小口地喝 ) her wine. “ Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it! If I lose weight, I ll lose my happiness.”When we waved goodbye to each other at the airport, I suddenly realized that Laura was the most beautiful person I had ever met in my life. 51. Why was the author unfriendly toward Laura in the beginning? A. The author was not in a good mood that day. B. The author had hoped to enjoy the trip alone. C. The author was not good at making friends with strangers. D. The author wasn t comfortable with Laura s size.52. Why didn t Laura want to lose weight?A. She didn t think she needed to.B. She didn t trust advertisements.C. She liked being big because it got her attention. D. She thought happiness was more important than health. 53. What kind of person is Laura? A. Talkative and loud. B. Warm and considerate. C. Knowledgeable and proud. D. Wild and adventurous. B French writer Frantz Fanon once said: “ To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.” Since the world changes every day, so does our language.More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary, and in one way or another they are all reflections of today s changing world.After a year that was politically unstable, it s not hard to understand the fact that 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 6 页，共 13 页7 people s political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary. One example is “ clicktivism” , a compound (合成词 ) of “ click” and “ activism” . It refers to “ armchair activists (键盘侠 ) ” people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “ otherize” is a verb for “ other ” that means to alienate ( 使疏远 ) people who are different from ourselves whether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality. “ We had all the words around Brexit (脱欧 ) in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary,” Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries head of content development, told The Guardian.Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “ fitspiration” a compound of “ fit” and “ inspiration” refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy. The phrase “ climate refugee” someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change reflects people s concern for the environment.According to Stevenson, social media was t he main source for the new expressions. “ People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,” he said.But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream (主流的 ) dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Stevenson s suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive (有表现力的 ) and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud. 54.What is the article mainly about? A. Some new words that got included into the online Oxford Dictionary. B. The application of new words and phrases. C. How a language mirrors the changing world. D. The impact of social media on our language. 55. With the mention of Brexit and Trump, the author intends to _. A. inform the reader of the origin of the word “ clicktivism”B. show the influences of current affairs on the English language C. highlight two major political events that changed the world D. explain what kind of new words can make it into a dictionary 56.The underlined word “ coin ” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _. A. use B. record C. change D. create 57. According to Stevenson, to make the words you invent popular, they should _. A. be easy to remember B. have unique meanings C. reflect the changing world D. be meaningful, expressive and catchy C 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 7 页，共 13 页8 Every year, hundreds of millions of Monarch Butterflies( 黑脉金斑蝶 ) from Canada and the United States journey as far as 2, 500 miles to the forests of Michoacan, Mexico, a place which has the world s largest insect migration (迁移 ). It s such a breathtaking sight, but as always, human greed is threatening to destroy it. The Monarch Butterflies start to arrive in Michoacan in late October to make their winter home in the trees high up in the mountains of the natural reserve. Once there, they gather together in large masses. These masses often become so heavy that they cause tree branches to bend or even break . But there s a purpose of all these massing it allows the butterflies to survive in the low nighttime temperatures at these high altitudes. The Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Sanctu
