You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and

2、 off to the parking lot. _1_It turns out, its just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster. Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. _2_Any small interruption - a price check, a chatty customer-can h

3、ave downstream effects, holding up an entire line. If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:_3_So its not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster. Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Ma

4、ke all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. _4_This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who

5、lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall. _5_It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores cant afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.AWhy does this always seem to happen to you?

6、BSo why dont most places encourage serpentine lines?CSome of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.DThe chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.EHow high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?FWith three registers, this method is much faster than

Can you imagine a world where everyone looks the same, has the exact same hobbies and interests, and even eats the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner? _7_ A

9、nd bringing those differences together makes us better.To put it simply, our diversity and inclusiveness (包容性)are our biggest strengths. Well all profit from a more diverse, inclusive society, understanding, accommodating, even celebrating our differences, while pulling together for the common good.

10、 As such, Global Diversity Awareness Month is a great chance for us to learn more about the beliefs, values and customs of other cultures._8_9_ For example, we can host a multicultural movie night and watch foreign films, or listen to music from around the world or visit cultural art exhibitions. An

11、other way we can celebrate diversity is by inviting our friends and family to dinner. Everyone can bring traditional dishes from their countries and hometowns.There is no doubt that diversity and inclusiveness make our world a better place. _10_ As Mahatma Gandhi once said, our ability to reach unit

14、of thinking to better our society.（2021河南信阳一模）Failure is probably the most exhausting experience one ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task bec

15、ause it is either too boring or too difficult._11_Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. _12_ Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (字母) order and

16、 I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works._13_Its difficulties appear so great that we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can and then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopedia Britannic

17、a, I had to create a table of contents. Nothing like this had ever been done before so that my fatigue became almost unbearable. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. _14_ An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution which had come up in my unco

18、nscious mind and proved correct at every step. _15_Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.AFeeling relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.BHard as I worked as before, l felt no

20、Winners and Losers in the Race of LifeOur societies have advanced tendencies to label certain people winners and others logically enough losers._16_And yet the more confusing and complex truth is that life is really made up of a number of races. There are races for money and fame. But there are also

21、 races that measure other kinds of skills worth respecting. There is a race for who can remain calmest in the face of frustration. _17_ There are races focused on how good they are at getting pleasure from autumn fruits.A striking fact about the multi-race event of life is, quite simply, that no one

22、 is ever able to end up a winner in every genre of competition available. _18_ When we have failed in certain races in the long journey of life, we keep ample opportunities to train and develop our strength to win in others. We may never again be able to compete in the race for fame, honor or money,

23、 but its still entirely open to us to compete in the race for kindness, friendship and forgiveness. We may even win at the not insignificant race for enjoying ones own company or sleeping very soundly._19_There is only a person who has won in some areas and messed up in others.

26、onships. It is also a vital key to happiness and fulfillment(满足). But unfortunately, often overlooked.Selflessness is often overlooked as a key to happiness because, on the surface, it appears to run contrary to the very concept._21_No, it is not. Or at least, it doesnt need to be.Our lives can be l

27、ived for any number of purposes._22_But our lives can also be lived for the pursuit(追求)of justice, happiness, or growth for another person or people group. We can devote ourselves to advancing certain causes. But only when we practice service and selflessness will we find lasting significance in our

28、 world.Many will try to explain success in terms of winning out over others, having power over others, or the ability to control others._23_Nobody is drawn to selfishness. Nobody is willing to give themselves up for one who desires his own kingdom above all things.We are uniquely drawn to those who

29、selflessly give of themselves. Those who love und give generously find a type of fulfillment that extends beyond position or title._24_25_Instead, may we choose to pursue selflessness as the very means to achieve happinessnot just for ourselves, but for those we choose to love.ANobody seeks the wise

30、 advice of a selfish person.BBut this type of happiness and influence is short-lived.CIsnt the pursuit of happiness by its very nature selfish?DMay we refuse to overlook the importance of selflessness.EIs the desire for happiness common and widespread in humans?FTheir stories are told in positive wa

31、ys and their happiness is truly lasting.GThey can be used to advance a personal kingdom for selfish reasonsmoney or reputation.（2021广东茂名二模）Time and money are lifes most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money“ is usually credited to

32、 Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay, Advice to a Young Tradesman, 1748._26_ He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways._27_ Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thus, each of us faces the choice

33、of how to spend our time. In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.The value of time varies from person to person. Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people h

34、ire other people to do their household chores. _28_Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. _29_ You cant bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. However, when people are made aware of their morta

35、lity they wonder if they did make the most of their lives.In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. _30_ Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time, so the more ti

36、me you spend on them, the more you improve.ATime is our scarcest resource.BIt means time is a valuable resource.CHowever, it cannot be bought at any price.DTime moves on whether we choose to spend it or notEActually, time and money are greatly different from each other.FHowever, a non-working person

37、 may spend more time on household chores.GKnowing that time is limited encourages us to ask how we are using our time.（2021山东潍坊二模）Why is being alone essential to personal growth?For many people, being alone is a negative state of being. It often carries a social stigma (污名) that equals isolation or

38、being an outsider. Of course, spending time with people you love is extremely important to your well-being. _31_ Only if youre connected to yourself can you become stronger.Aloneness enhances your creativity. When you are alone, you are more likely to stay true to yourself and try new things that yo

39、u dont have the courage to do around others. _32_ Picasso or Van Gogh wouldnt have created the masterpieces if they hadnt taken enough solitary (独自的) time to experiment regardless of others thoughts.Being alone also prevents you from burning out. Sometimes you may wonder why you easily feel tired. _

40、33_ Especially for people who go to work every day, it is unavoidable to feel exhausted when you have to deal with work, family, and your own passions at the same time. How about giving yourself a few solitary moments? It doesnt matter how you choose to spend those moments alone. As long as they rel

41、ieve your stress, theyre worthwhile._34_ When you take time to understand yourself, pursue your personal growth, and follow your dreams, youll definitely discover the truth about yourself. Regardless of how well you may think you know yourself, learning how to be alone will allow you to deepen your

42、self-awareness.Being alone makes you a more creative person and helps with personal growth. _35_ABut its necessary to learn how to be alone.BAloneness is often associated with mad artists.CIt is impossible to be alone with the demands of daily life.DAloneness frees us from the limits of the worlds o

43、pinions.ESelf-exploration is perhaps the biggest benefit of aloneness.FOne reason could be not giving yourself enough solitary time.GSo spend some time alone today to become a brighter and better person.（2021广东佛山三模）Im terrible at giving myself grace. Im a perfectionist, and I have unrealistic expect

44、ations for myself at times. I can remember simple errors I made.

I want to do my best in everything. T

45、he trouble starts when we overwork ourselves. _37_ Thats OK.Taking a break. Most of all, I hope you prioritize your mental health. Take care of yourself. Be gentle with yourself.No one is asking you to be perfect. Were all messy humans with strengths and weaknesses. Embrace yours, even when it isnt

46、perfect. When you make mistakes, take responsibility and learn from them. Remember that this isnt the first or the last mistake that youve made. Give in to grace. Something might be a huge issue for me, other people probably wont notice or care._38_Write it on your heart that whatever you do today i

47、s enough. It is easy to emphasize what weve yet to do instead of what weve already done. Yes, there is always room for growth and improvement. _39_ Maybe you made your bed. Maybe you made it to work on time. Those things might not seem big, but theyre still victories._40_ If you messed up today, you

48、 can try again tomorrow. If you succeeded today, you can try again tomorrow. You have to keep moving on into the rest of your story or youll miss the train to bigger things than this. Start in your worry or your fear or your joy. Start wherever you are and keep going. Start with grace.AYour story is

In many cultures and in the dark ages, left-handed people have generally been seen as the devil.The word “left” in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “lyft”，which means weak or broken. The Oxford English

51、 Dictionary defines “left-handed” as meaning defective, awkward or clumsy. _41_ A “left-handed compliment” and a “left-handed marriage” can be set as examples. The former does not mean sincere praise but indicates an insult. The latter, as you may notice, refers to an illegal or informal marriage, w

52、hich, in particular, involves one side of royal or noble birth and the other of lower rank.In some certain cultures, things go beyond that. _42_ In Nigeria, for instance, taking or giving anything to anyone with your left hand is assumed that you lack home training._43_ Many people around you in Chi

53、na, if asked, would tell you they were forced by their parents or teachers, to write with their right hand. Strangely enough, none of those elders can say what an actual problem there is with left-handedness. If it has to do with the fear of that child not being prosperous, there are a lot of left-h

54、anded personalities doing well and breaking grounds. The possible explanation here maybe lies in their long- held prejudice. _44_Two-thirds of the world still view left-handedness as a shortcoming but it isnt. _45_That is what CR. Manske points out, “Life without left-handed people wouldnt be right.

55、 ”AAnd that is not the only case.BThe following two examples can best reflect this point.CA tiny gesture or movement with the left hand can mean a lot.DNamely, people tend to believe in common ideas instead of the reality.EThe way forward for the left-handers is for them to be accepted as they are.F

56、Certain phrases in English suggest a rather negative view of “left-handedness”.GIn other words, different deep-rooted beliefs originate from different cultures.参考答案：1A2G3D4F5B【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章说明了杂货店排队方式以及研究人员提出的蛇形队伍的新方式，并分析了各自的利弊。1下文“It turns out, its just math working against you; chances are, the

69、种方式体验这种疲惫：启动疲惫和性能疲惫。在前一种情况下，我们总是推迟任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难)”可知，推迟任务会使人感到疲惫。E选项“And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.(我们拖得越久，就越累)”符合题意，故选E。12根据后文“Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (字母) order and I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing.

74、有一种先进的倾向，即给某些人贴上“赢家”的标签，而把另一些人贴上“输家”的标签)”及下文“And yet the more confusing and complex truth is that life is really made up of a number of races.(然而，更令人困惑和复杂的事实是，生活实际上是由许多比赛组成的)”可知，前后语义相反。作者认为给人们打上失败者或者成功者的标签是将生活看作单一的比赛。C项“In that case, life might be a singular race.(在这种情况下，生活是一场单一的比赛)”符合题意。故选C项。17根据第二

75、段段首“And yet the more confusing and complex truth is that life is really made up of a number of races.(然而，更令人困惑和复杂的事实是，生活实际上是由许多比赛组成的)”及本段后面的句式“There are races”、“there are also races”、“There is a race”可知，本段在介绍各种比赛，E选项“There is a race measuring how gifted someone is at friendship(有衡量一个人在友谊方面的天赋比赛)”的句式

79、at life itself.

80、私作为获得幸福的手段。21根据空格后答语可知设空处应是一个一般疑问句。上文“Selflessness is often overlooked as a key to happiness because, on the surface, it appears to run contrary to the very concept. (无私作为幸福的关键常常被忽视，因为从表面上看，它似乎与这个概念本身背道而驰)”讲了无私与幸福的关系。表面上看来，无私与追求幸福是两个背道而驰的概念。C项“Isnt the pursuit of happiness by its very nature selfish

81、? (追求幸福的本质不就是自私吗?)”对上文中观念进行了进一步延伸，再用下文答语“No, it is not.”加以否定。故选C项。22根据下文“But our lives can also be lived for the pursuit(追求)of justice, happiness, or growth for another person or people group. (但我们的生命也可以是为了另一个人或群体的正义、幸福或成长而活)”中连词But可推知，设空句与其下文有转折对比关系，两句表述了不同的生活目的，是对上文“Our lives can be lived for any

82、number of purposes. (我们的生活可以有很多目的)”的举例。G项列举了另一种生活目的自私的人生：金钱或名誉，与下文形成对比关系。故选G项。23根据上文“Many will try to explain success in terms of winning out over others, having power over others, or the ability to control others. (许多人会试图把成功解释为胜过他人、拥有凌驾于他人之上的权力或控制他人的能力)”可知，很多人认为成功就是超越他人，下文用两个Nobody对其进行了否定，所以空处的句子应起

83、到转折过渡作用。B项“But this type of happiness and influence is short-lived.(但这种快乐和影响是短暂的)”是对上文的否定，形成转折关系，同时承启下文。故选B项。24上文“We are uniquely drawn to those who selflessly give of themselves. Those who love und give generously find a type of fulfillment that extends beyond position or title. (我们被那些无私奉献的人所吸引。那些爱

84、别人的人和慷慨给予的人找到了一种超越职位或头衔的满足感)”颂扬了那些无私的人们。F项“Their stories are told in positive ways and their happiness is truly lasting. (他们的故事以积极的方式被讲述，他们的幸福是真正持久的)”中的代词Their与上文those形成指代关系，语意上形成是顺承关系，是对无私者的肯定。故选F项。25根据下文“Instead, may we choose to pursue selflessness as the very means to achieve happinessnot just f

85、or ourselves, but for those we choose to love. (相反，希望我们选择追求无私作为获得幸福的手段不仅仅是为了我们自己，而是为了我们选择爱的人)”中Instead可知上下文句意有对比关系。D项“May we refuse to overlook the importance of selflessness. (愿我们拒绝忽视无私的重要性)”中overlook the importance of selflessness与下文choose to pursue selflessness形成对比关系，符合语境，故选D项。26B27A28F29D30G【解析】
