一、记叙文

Task 1

I am not sure how many books I have reread， but perhaps it is fewer than the averageperson. 1 The reading material， though， is of course not new.

I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel： don't go to the same placetwice. Life is too short. 2 Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work theother way around too： if you know you enjoy something， or somewhere， then why not return？

Recently， I reread Joseph Heller's Catch⁃22. I was inspired to do so when reminded ofhow he'd respond when people rudely asked him why he'd never written anything as good：“Who has？” Catch⁃22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it. 3 I had droppedout of school twice， didn't leave the house at all and didn't have a life. It felt as though Ihadn't laughed in such a long time.

4 It managed to take me out of the dark world， and though its themes are， ofcourse， serious， its cleverness cheered me greatly. I related to its characters who are them⁃selves trapped. I am now planning to reread the sort of books that inspired me in my ownwriting.

I won't take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases. I love the smellof new books fresh from the printers. 5

A. Catch⁃22 had me laughing.

B. My favourites are secondhand editions.

C. There is discomfort in reading recently⁃released books.

D. At that time， I was an extremely depressed 17⁃year⁃old.

E. For me， the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one.

F. There is so much to read and so much to see and experience.

G. However， I have determined to read the old ones more frequently.

Task 2

Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors， gives me an excuse totravel with more purpose， and lets me see behind the scenes. 1 “ Better get back totaking photos. Nice to chat！”

What is my advice to beginners？ I didn't study photography. I'm not formally trained. 2 But thats not what photography is about for me. If you want to be a photographer， beconstantly asking yourself the question：“ What is the story here？” It doesnt matter if youare shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that dealswith whats left over. 3 What does that mean？ If I'm photographing a dinner party forSocial Supply， its important to capture not just the plate of food， but to step back and cap⁃ture the scene around it. If I'm taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan， I makesure to find an angle that shows just how much they've harvested， but also a few close⁃upsof the weathered hands that are carefully sorting.

4 I've taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot，the better you will be. So， start shooting—anything and everything， but specially yourfriends' businesses and projects.

Do I have a good camera？ Yes， but some people still think that the photos I took withmy phone were taken on that camera， so don't confuse a good device with being a good pho⁃tographer. 5 So start there， and start today.

A. Let the story guide you.

B. I have virtually no art experience.

C. Like anything， photography requires practice.

D. Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore.

E. Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.

F. It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.

G. I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens.

Task 3

For decades， I was a hard drinker who could drink anyone under the table. This lasted from the age of 27 until after 50， a golden time during which I felt very sorry for ex⁃drinkersand people who couldn't or wouldn't drink. How did they make it through social situations，especially parties？ What did they do at the end of a workday to celebrate and relax？ 1

When I first tried to quit drinking myself in my early 50s， I wasn't sure at first whetherit would work for me. But I did it anyway. 2 I was getting older. I had to concede that Iwasn't as tough as I used to be. Nights of drinking too much showed in my face， and I couldfeel it in my bones. I wanted to take care of myself. So for the next few years， I bounced be⁃tween drinking and not drinking at all for months at a time， then slowly starting again untilI had to quit again.

During these years， I didn't love not drinking. But I had to admit that when I was offbooze， I looked and felt better physically： I slept more deeply， had more energy and exer⁃cised more. My mind was clearer. My moods were brighter. Parties were hard， and so wascooking at the end of a day of writing without a glass of wine at my elbow. 3

I finally quit drinking for real almost several years ago， when a writer friend stayedwith my husband and me after his wife kicked him out. After my husband had gone upstairsto bed， my friend sat on our sofa drinking an entire bottle of gin， complaining about his fate，until he passed out next to our dog， whose bed was that sofa. 4 I didn't have a drinkthe next night， or ever again since.

I'm not going to lie： being sober is not a hot⁃air balloon ride. 5 Having to feel mydamn feelings without filters compels me to face and change the things in my life that keepme stuck. I connect more deeply with the people I care about. I think of not drinking as akindness I've given myself. And to my surprise， it's rewarded me with true， hard⁃won happi⁃ness.
