(四川省内江市六中2022学年第二次月考)When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began.

Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent time taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.

As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 a.m. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began.

Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours:the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel,TheLineoftheSun, was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel.

What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision:taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if it’s the only way.

(2022届辽宁省辽南协作体高三第二次模拟考试)People have probably observed that their stress levels can rise due to a lack of typical psychological(精神的) breaks they get in workplaces. Walking to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, stopping for a chat with one of your colleagues or discussing your plan with your leaders will help you. All of those actions are actually giving our brains an opportunity to recharge.

The workplace banter(打趣) could be worn out when you’re employed from home. The psychological breaks, however, are vital to maintain your stress at the lowest level, so attempt to copy these mini-breaks at home. Besides, you need a proper schedule for yourself. Otherwise, things go against your wishes. For example, one of my friends devoted herself to her business, ignoring her family and her own health. Though she has achieved a lot in her business, now she is in poor health and has a broken home and good-for-nothing children.

One of the toughest issues about working from home is setting boundaries. People tend to overwork at home because they often confuse work and home life. You can reasonably end working at a fixed time and have time to get along with your family members. If you begin the day by bearing this in your thoughts, it’s completely possible for you to stick to it.

At home, you can do a spot of gardening or take a slow relaxing walk within your yard to help increase your memory and overcome depression. Even doing some arts and crafts, reading an ebook or baking a cake may also help. Anyway, you need to take yourself away from the computer screen for a superb couple of hours every day.

As the saying puts it,“Sharpening your knife won’t waste your time for cutting your firewood”.If you have good psychological breaks while working from home, your working efficiency will be improved. Besides, you’ll manage and lessen your stress and create a good family relationship.

8.How can people reduce their stress levels in workplaces according to the author?

A.By having a relaxing talk with their workmates.

B.By sharing their suffering with their leaders.

C.By giving their current work to other workmates.

D.By going to a psychologist on a regular basis.

9.Why do people tend to work overtime at home?

A.They like to show their devotion before the family.

B.There is no clear line between work and home life.

C.No one bothers them when working from home.

D.They are inefficient as a result of many distractions.

10.What might be the author’s suggestion at the end of the text?

A.Enrich our life with a variety of activities.

B.Improve your efficiency to please your leader.

C.Take a rest from work to balance work and family.

D.Ask someone to help with your work when tired.

11.What does the text mainly talk about?

A.Methods of living an active and meaningful life.

B.Approaches to lessening stress levels in workplaces.

C.Ways to manage stress when working from home.

D.The importance of making a good family relationship.

　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在家工作时管理压力的方法。

8.A　细节理解题。根据第一段可知,和同事聊天会减少你的压力。

9.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“People tend to over-work at home because they often confuse work and home life.”可知,在家容易工作超时的原因是工作和家庭生活没有明显的界线。

10.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段表述可知,磨刀不误砍柴工,作者建议适当休息、减少压力、提高效率,并创建良好的家庭关系。

11.C　主旨大意题。通览全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了在家工作时管理压力的一些具体方法。由此可知C项正确。

(2022届北京市清华大学中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试高三上学期10月诊断性测试改编)Home improvement isn’t just about adding new value to your property. If you make the right investment decisions, you can also use your home improvement decisions to improve your quality of life.

Common changes like replacing your kitchen and bathroom can be a good idea for some homeowners.　1　 If you’ve been looking for a way to update your property for a while now, we have some fun ideas that could be perfect for your lifestyle. 

Convertyourgarageintoanentertainmentroom

Converting your garage into an entertainment room is much easier than you’d think. Make sure you do your research and find out whether you need planning permission before you get started. Once you’re finished with the paperwork side of things, you can speak to professionals like joiners, builders, and electricians to help you bring your ideas to life.　2　  

Transformyourgarden

　3　 However, these days, there are more ways to update them than ever before. You could install your very own summer house, complete with a hot tub where you and your friends can relax all through the summer and winter months. Alternatively, if you have the space, you could look into creating a bricked-out space where you can build your own pizza oven for cooking in the sun with your family. 

　4　  

Having funky home lifts are becoming increasingly attractive as a unique home improvement option for these days. They’re great for making your property seem more stylish and luxurious, plus they’re convenient for people of all ages. For young families, a lift is a great way to get around the house when cleaning or carry things upstairs without risking a fall.　5　 Today’s modern designs ensure that you can get something a lot more attractive than your standard stair lift. 

A.Install a home elevator

B.Replace elevator with stairs

C.When making home improvements, a lot of people forget all about the outdoors.

D.As you get older, you can use it to avoid the risk of tripping and falling down the stairs.

E.However, others like to get a little more creative with their home improvement strategies.

F.This is the perfect way to create some extra space in your property, and spend more time doing the things you love.

G.It would be to get in from a long day of work, and use the elevator to get upstairs, rather than trudging up there yourself.

　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家庭装修的建议。
