2、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Imagine that you've got a deadline approaching. But other smaller jobs keep getting in the way. Eventually, your failure delays the project. Here are five steps that will help you to meet it.
First, determine what the task is. Make sure you understand what's expected of you and how much work is required. Depending on the type of the job, you need to create a clear road map of what needs to be done.
Next, check that you have the right resources. Before you start, ask yourself if you have the training, support, people, and equipment needed to complete the work on time. Do not press ahead difficultly and silently. Instead, request for more time or seek help from others.
Leave room for error. Things don't always go to plan. Staff absences, supply delays, or competing responsibilities are common challenges. For example, training up other coworkers could help in case anyone is absent.
Divide your work into smaller tasks and set a deadline to each. Not only will this help you to monitor your progress, but you'll also be able to decide if the given time is achievable.
Finally, even the best-made plans can fall short. So if you do miss a deadline, try to limit the damage. Consider how you can avoid it happening again. Take responsibility for the issue, agree on a new deadline and explain clearly how you intend to meet it.
A. Be honest with your boss.
B. If the answer is "no," speak up.
C. Now, it's time to create a schedule.
D. Fourth, persuade your boss to change the plan.
E. If you fail to repair the damage, quit the job directly.
F. The closer the deadline gets, the more impossible it all feels.
G. Consider what replaceable plans you might need to overcome them.

With a new technique, scientists have figured out how to create power from thin air. They have designed a tiny device that generates electricity from the air's humidity (湿气) and it can be made from nearly any material, scientists reported in the journal Advanced Materials.
The invention involves two electrodes(电极) and a thin layer of material, which must be covered with tiny holes less than 100 nanometers(纳米) in diameter. As water molecules pass through the device, they knock against the tiny holes' edges, creating an electric charge imbalance between the layers.
The whole process is just like the way clouds make electricity, like lightning. "The air contains a large amount of electricity," says Jun Yao, assistant professor in the College of Engineering at UMass Amherst. "Think of a cloud, or rather a mass of water drops, each of which contains a charge. And when conditions are right, the cloud can produce lightning. What we've done is to create a human-built, small-scale 'cloud'. "
Scientists have previously tried using humidity to generate electricity, but their attempts have often only worked for a short time or relied on expensive materials. But now, the new study shows that any material works, such as wood or silicon, as long as it is covered with the ultra-small holes. This finding makes producing the device much more practical.
Currently, the fingermail-sized device can only create a very small amount of continuous electricity. But the researchers hope it can someday become a practical, sustainable source of power. "The entire Earth is covered with a thick layer of humidity," Yao said. "It's a huge source of clean energy. This is just the beginning in making use of that. " Next, the researchers want to try laying more devices on top of each layer of the thin materials to produce more energy.
(1)、Paragraph 2 is mainly about ____.A、how many parts the device includes B、why electricity must be generated C、how the tiny device creates power D、what the generated power is used for(2)、Why does Yao mention "cloud" in paragraph 3?A、To show the working conditions of the new device B、To explain the working principle of the invention C、To prove the advantages of the thin layer of material. D、To present the influence of bad weather on the device.(3)、What is necessary for the material according to the new study?A、It must be light and long-lasting. B、It is made from wood or silicon C、It should be as thin as fingemails. D、It is covered with tiny holes.(4)、What will the follow-up study focus on?A、How to create more electricity. B、How to make energy cleaner. C、How to reduce the cost of the devices. D、How to produce sufficient devices. -

Milan Kundera, the son of a famous concert pianist and musicologist, was born on April 1,1929. Brno, Czechoslovakia (now in Czech Republic). The young Kundera studied music but gradually turned to writing, and he began teaching literature at the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in Prague in 1952. He joined the Communist Party in 1948, was expelled in 1950, and was readmitted in 1956, remaining a member until 1970.
He published several collections of poetry in the 1950s. Then his short stories and highly successful one-act play, The Owners of the Keys, were published in the 1960s, followed by his first novel. One of his greatest works, The Joke, a comic and ironic (讽刺的) about the private lives and destinies(命运) of various Czechs, was translated into several languages and achieved international recognition. His second novel, Life Is Elsewhere(1969), about an unlucky, romantic-minded hero who supported the Communist takeover of 1948, was forbidden of its Czech publication. Kundera refused to admit his political errors to the authorities, who banned all his works, fired him from his teaching positions, and drove him away from the Communist Party.
In 1975 Kundera was allowed to emigrate with his wife from Czechoslovakia to teach at the University of Rennes in France. In 1979 the Czech government took away his citizenship. In the 1970s and '80s his novels were published in France and elsewhere abroad but were banned in his homeland until 1989. The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, one of his most successful works, is a series of ironic meditations (沉思录) on the modern state's tendency to deny and clear out human memory and historical truth.
Kundera began writing in French with Slowness in 1994, followed by Identity (1997), Ignorance(2000), and The Festival of Insignificance(2013), which is about a group of Parisian friends.
On July 11, 2023, Milan Kundera died in Paris, France.
(1)、What does the underlined word "expelled" in paragraph 2 mean?A、rejected B、promoted C、introduced D、punished(2)、What can you learn about Kundera from the passage?A、He wrote his first novel before The Owners of the Keys. B、His second novel was translated into several languages C、He created his works in French in his old years of life. D、He moved to France with his wife to learn French.(3)、According to the passages, Milan Kundera used to be anyone but a ____.A、play-writer B、poet C、novelist D、translator(4)、What is The Book of Laughter and Forgetting aimed at?A、Preserving human wisdom. B、Uncovering a political truth. C、Teaching modern history. D、Praising the government. -

Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep blues and greens, dotted with red and yellow to form diverse patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopo was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them dependent on agricultural work. But as agriculture began to dry up here, poverty came. To deal with poverty and promote economic growth through tourism, a small but creative group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopo project.
The project aimed to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors to change the hillside town into a work of art. "We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community," says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco. "Families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family. "
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn commonly by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. Inspiration was also found in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. "At first, the idea of the project was uncertain, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town," Melissa Whitbeck said. "The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of their hometown. "
(1)、Why was the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopo project started?A、Because of a workforce shortage. B、Due to the poor economic conditions C、Thanks to the increase in population. D、For the old-fashioned farming ways.(2)、What is the project about?A、Building family art galleries in Guatemala B、Creating job opportunities for local artists C、Developing local tourism by selling artworks. D、Changing the town into a cultural destination.(3)、What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project?A、The surrounding volcanoes. B、Mayan-styled butterflies. C、A type of traditional clothing D、The national bird of Guatemala.(4)、What is Melissa's attitude towards the project?A、Positive. B、Reserved. C、Concerned. D、Negative. -

17、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
Thirty years has passed, I still remember Miss Benson, my second-grade teacher. At that time, she was in her early 20s and just graduated from a university. She was the kindest, sweetest, most beautiful creature that ever walked the earth. I could not bear to miss one precious moment of her presence by leaving the room.
I was among the most hard-working students in the class. My hand was always the first to be raised when Miss Benson called for volunteers to clean the blackboards or to gather papers and bring them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made possible getting near enough to her to close out the others in the classroom. I would arrange and rearrange the papers. They had to be in perfect order before I made my reluctant way back to my seat. It was obvious that all I did was to leave a good impression on her. I would always wonder whether I was her favourite student.
Early in the term, I started asking my mother to put an extra apple or peach in my lunch. I never quite worked up the courage to say it was for my teacher, as I never quite worked up the courage to hand my offering to Miss Benson directly. Each day the delicacy found its way unobserved to the corner of her desk. And each day after Miss Benson came in and sat down, she would pick up the offering of the day, look around the room and ask, "What thoughtful little boy or girl brought me this?"
No one claimed the honour, least of all me. I kept my head down, looking at my desk.
"Can it be that I have a secret admirer?" She would then add.
Thinking everyone was looking at me, I would feel the red rising in my face. When Miss Benson put the fruit away and started the lesson, I would at last sigh with relief.
One fall morning, the class got very excited. Someone had discovered the next day, Friday, was Miss Benson's birthday. Everyone wanted to get her a present. My heart gave a leap, for after about one month I could give her something openly. After school, I combed the field for wild flowers. Not many were in bloom at that time of year, but luckily I came upon a patch of pretty red leaves.
Paragraph 1:
In the morning I hung back as others presented their gifts.
Paragraph 2:
The next Monday, however, we were told Miss Benson was in hospital probably because she touched some red leaves.
