Additionally, I will make a list of my important task including their due dates but follow my schedule strictly. I will avoid find excuses for putting them off.
At same time, I will ask for my friends and parents to help me. By achieving this small targets, I have confident that I will overcome procrastination.

4. 【解析】第五句的task→tasks。考查名词单复数。句意: 我会列一个重要任务的清单。任务不只一个, 故把task改为tasks。
5. 【解析】第五句的but→and。考查连词。列清单然后按照时间表行事。是顺承关系, 不是转折关系, 故把but改为and。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, I really don’t want to do this. ” I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy dancing joyfully with two girls under the tree. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.
In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, “Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months. ”
At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.

What do Tom Sawyer and Jumping Frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with (使……入迷) life along the river — the steamboats, the giant lumber (不用的大件物品) rafts, and the people who worked on them.
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of Twain’s best loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There’s also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It’s a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it’s fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction (虚构的事), it’s based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you’ll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain’s boyhood home.

【文章大意】本文为说明文。在唱歌中获取自信是要不断地练习, 但最重要的是练习唱歌过程中享受唱歌的乐趣。文章介绍了帮助你在唱歌中获得信心, 获得乐趣的3个正确的唱歌技巧。
1. 【解析】选F。第一段是主旨段。由三个小标题可知, 文章主要叙述在唱歌中获取自信是要不断地练习, 练习得越多, 就越有信心。但最重要的是在练习唱歌过程中享受唱歌的乐趣, 要选你自己喜欢的歌, 对你有意义的歌。前两个小标题对应的是本段的第一句“Gaining confidence while singing is a process that requires practice(在唱歌中获得自信是一个需要练习的过程)”。那么文章的第三个小标题对应的应该是文章第二句, 即空格处应是“享受唱歌的乐趣”。因此F项符合题意。
2. 【解析】选C。本段的小标题是“表演(唱歌)要自信”。根据空格前句可知是去一个新的地方表演。结合空格后的“To overcome this, go to the stage when no one else is around可知, 在一个新地方表演(唱歌)有点害怕, 所以先要熟悉一下场所, 为了克服恐惧心理, 在没有人的时候走上舞台。结合下文“Slowly breathe in and breathe out. ”可知人在紧张害怕时常会深呼吸来缓解。故本空格是指在新场地唱歌会有点害怕。分析选项可知C项符合语境。
3. 【解析】选B。根据空格后“Slowly breathe in and breathe out(慢慢地吸气和呼气)”可知, 本空格与唱歌前深呼吸有关。分析选项可知B项Breathe deeply before beginning to sing(开始唱歌前深呼吸)符合题意。
4. 【解析】选D。根据空格前“Warm up with vocal exercises before singing(唱歌前用声乐练习热身)”。可知本段主要在讲唱歌前要先进行声乐热身。分析选项可知D项中的“Warming up your voice”对应本句。因此D项符合题意。
5. 【解析】选A。本段的小标题为“Choosing the Right Song”。结合本段第一句“Pick a song that has personal meaning to you(选一首对你有个人意义的歌)”。可知本段主要介绍选歌曲。分析七个选项可知, 只有A项The song can be a childhood favorite与选歌曲有关。“选一首对你个人有意义的歌。很有可能你能想到一些在你的生活中有意义的歌曲。这首歌可能是儿时最喜欢的歌。”A项与上下文语境相符。
