1.(2022·湖北武汉联考)
Resolving(解决) Conflict in Friendships
Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships. 1 That’s because there isn’t enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement.Unfortunately,even when the friendship reaches a deeper level,conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship.Here are some resolutions.
Resolve it the day it happens.One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don’t go to bed angry with each other.They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning,it’s a fresh start with no past grudge (怨恨).I’ve found I need a short cool down period so that I don’t act in anger. 2 Whatever you do,don’t let things ride for too long.
3 Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over,you begin to see where the other person is coming from.Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents,abilities,and personality traits.For example,you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower.You may be frustrated with him or her for not being very decisive.Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated.
Initiate resolution. 4 Even when you think the other person is wrong,it’s not a bad thing to say “I’m sorry if I offended you in that way.” If you’re honest and genuine in delivering your words,there’s a good chance your friend will respond positively.
Most importantly,be loving in what you do.Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement.It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship. 5
A.Don’t expect too much.
B.Try to see from the other person’s perspective.
C.Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.
D.Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.
E.To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution.
F.However,it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.
G.For some,counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option.

2.(2022·江苏南京模拟)
An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. 1 Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids.
Saying “thank you” to service workers
Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day,like waitstaff,store clerks,and bus drivers.It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable. 2
Taking turns talking
Teach your children to tap your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge them before speaking.If they do interrupt,calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly. 3 Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk.
Using their indoor voices
4 A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate their volume and tone based on the situation.You can make it into a fun game for little ones,like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema.
Covering a cough or sneeze
These days it’s more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow.It’s not just a matter of hygiene (卫生)—no one enjoys getting sprayed. 5 Don’t forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after.
A.Remember it goes both ways.
B.Consequently it makes others feel cared about.
C.Games are very important for children’s good manners.
D.Crying,laughing,or just talking,children can be very loud.
E.Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.
F.It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.
G.Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants.
1.答案 E
解析 空前句说的是需要培养孩子良好的言行举止,空后句说的是培养的建议,从逻辑上说设空处肯定还在谈良好言行的重要性或者不培养及缺乏它的后果。故选E项。
2.答案 G
解析 根据空前句说的是要礼貌对待劳动者,珍视他们的付出,设空处肯定还是和这个话题相关,G项说的是教孩子不要把劳动者当作仆人对待,符合语境。故选G项。
3.答案 A
解析 空前句说的是大人要教会小孩不要打断他人说话,空后句说的是大人也要同样尊重孩子的发言,不要打断他们,可见这个尊重是双向的。故选A项。
4.答案 D
解析 空后句说的是教会小孩子在适当场合要控制音量,可推断设空处说的就是孩子有时候会发出很大的声音。故选D项。
5.答案 F
解析 空前句说的是教孩子咳嗽或打喷嚏时要捂嘴或者用纸巾很重要,因为没有人喜欢被溅射到,设空处肯定是对其进行补充解释,F项说的是这种礼貌可以让周围人感到安全舒适。故选F项。
3.Keys to a Good Family Life
In posters and ads,we often see pictures of happy families,but family life is not all smiles and laughter.All families are different and have problems,but you can make your family life better with hard work and determination. 1
Spend time together as a family.Some people are too busy for family time.You have to set aside time to plan and spend special times together. 2 Make the conversation around the table pleasant and caring;maybe ask each person how their day was or what is happening in their school or work life.Doing household chores together also helps.
3 Allow members of your family to express their own feelings and ideas.Maintain eye contact and don’t interrupt when someone is talking.Listen carefully to what they are saying,before you judge or disagree.Hearing someone else,and being heard by that person,is the foundation of a good relationship. 4 Try not to be angry at someone’s opinions.Even if you think that they are wrong,listen with an open mind to show that you care—and remember that no one is perfect.
Meet each other’s needs.Give time to each and every one of your family members.Know what is going on in their lives and what they need help with. 5 If they need help with something,set aside time to do so.To be aware of your family members’ emotional and physical needs,you need to communicate.
A.Listen to their problems.
B.Try applying the following steps.
C.Allow each person to be an individual.
D.So these steps will help you all get on well.
E.Respect your family members’ feelings and ideas.
F.Every day it should be eating at least one meal together.
G.Each family member has his or her own opinions or suggestions.
1.答案 B
解析 本句为第一段最后一句,有启示下文的作用,结合后文主要介绍了一些让家庭生活变得更好的方法。故B选项“尝试应用以下步骤”符合上下文语境。
2.答案 F
解析 结合后文“Make the conversation around the table pleasant and caring;maybe ask each person how their day was or what is happening in their school or work life.”可知,本句是在建议每天要和家人在一起至少吃一顿饭。故F选项符合上下文语境。
3.答案 E
解析 根据后文“Allow members of your family to express their own feelings and ideas.”可知,允许你的家人表达他们自己的感受和想法。由此可知,本句是在说明要尊重家人的感受和想法。故E选项符合上下文语境。
4.答案 G
解析 结合后文“Try not to be angry at someone’s opinions.Even if you think that they are wrong,listen with an open mind to show that you care—and remember that no one is perfect.”可知,本句是在说明要允许每个家庭成员都有自己的意见或建议,且不要对别人的意见生气,要保持开放的心态倾听。后文中opinions可对应到G选项中opinions or suggestions。故G选项“每个家庭成员都有自己的意见或建议”符合上下文语境。
5.答案 A
解析 根据上文“Know what is going on in their lives and what they need help with.”以及后文“If they need help with something,set aside time to do so.To be aware of your family members’ emotional and physical needs,you need to communicate.”可知,本段是在强调了解了家庭成员的生活、他们需要什么帮助后,倾听他们的问题,并及时提供帮助。故A选项“倾听他们的问题”符合上下文语境。

Though China has increasingly adopted Western influences,the traditional family structure is still highly valued and holds a vital position in Chinese culture.Both traditional and modern Chinese families have similar values and morals to one another. 1
In the traditional Chinese family,the man is very important. 2 At the same time,he is given all the decision-making power when it comes to his wife,family and other family members.He is also responsible for taking care of and paying for his children.In modern families,the family members consult elders about important decisions,but the father no longer has the final say with regard to his adult children’s lives.
Traditional Chinese mothers usually stay at home to take care of the home,the children,and the rest of the family. 3 However,they still rely on their husbands or fathers for financial support at some point in their lives.
In many Asian cultures,the elders of the family are respected for their wisdom.In both traditional and modern families,elders are taken care of and looked up to by the rest of the family. 4 Even in modern households,many grandparents live with their children.
5 But the family structure and the importance of family values remain a focus.Families are still honored and respected,whether you live in the traditional,rural environment,or the modern,urban city.
A.He gains his independence from his family.
B.Many modern Chinese women have careers.
C.These have been a part of daily life for many centuries.
D.Women in modern times are actually completely independent.
E.He is responsible for maintaining,providing for and protecting his family.
F.Chinese culture has experienced many dramatic changes in recent years.
G.In traditional families,including those living in a rural environment,many households include five generations living together.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。中国传统家庭与现代家庭有着相似的价值观和道德观,文章对此进行了说明。
1.答案 C
解析 前文“Both traditional and modern Chinese families have similar values and morals to one another.”中的values and morals对应选项C中的“These”,故选C。
2.答案 E
解析 根据前文“In the traditional Chinese family,the man is very important.”可知,此处是指男人在传统的中国家庭里的重要性,所以选项E(他有责任维持、供养和保护他的家庭)切合文意。且此项中的“He is responsible for”对应下文的“He is also responsible for”。故选E。
3.答案 B
解析 根据后文“However,they still rely on their husbands or fathers for financial support at some point in their lives.”可知,此处是讲现在很多中国女人有自己的事业,但有时仍需要丈夫或父亲的经济支持,所以选项B(许多现代中国女性都有自己的事业)切合文意。故选B。
4.答案 G
解析 根据后文“Even in modern households,many grandparents live with their children.”可知,此处是指在传统和现代家庭里,好几代都住在一起,所以选项G(在传统家庭中,包括农村家庭,许多家庭都是五代同堂)切合文意。故选G。
5.答案 F
解析 选项F(中国文化近年来经历了许多巨大的变化)和后文“the family structure and the importance of family values remain a focus”构成转折关系,对应转折词But。所以选项F切合文意。故选F。

5.How to Recover from Overeating
Nearly everyone has over indulged(放纵) in good food at least once and has experienced the resulting abdominal discomfort. 1 .They can impair your ability to focus on your work and other everyday tasks.Unfortunately,putting life on hold because you’re paying the price for your indulgences isn’t an option.There are several ways you can relieve the symptoms and recover from overeating.
2
While you might want to save yourself for your big lunch,it’s wiser to have a light healthy breakfast so you’re not tempted to eat more than you should when the big meal arrives.
Start with water
Instead of tucking into a heavy starter,down a tall glass of water. 3 .
Listen to your stomach
Frequently asking yourself “Am I full?” can sometimes immediately put things into perspective.Often-times,we mindlessly eat without paying attention to what our body is trying to tell us. 4 .But they ignore the messages their bodies are sending.
Slow down
5 .Slowing down and taking time to focus on the food itself(how it tastes,temperature,etc.),however,can sometimes help calm the desire to overeat.This type of mindful eating has become a well-known technique for easing over-consumption,suggested by physicians,celebrities and chefs alike.
So next time you find yourself feeling a little overstuffed,keep these points in mind so that it doesn’t become a bigger problem.
A.Don’t starve yourself
B.Pig out your breakfast
C.Overeating involves consuming food very quickly
D.This will help you feel full and stop you overeating
E.It will cause pain,gas,indigestion and other symptoms
F.Lay off the food for a while,but go ahead and drink water
G.Overeaters typically keep consuming long after their stomachs are full
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是几乎每个人都有过至少一次过度享受美食的经历,并经历过由此导致的腹部不适。本文提出了几种方法可以缓解不适。
1.答案 E
解析 根据上下文可知,此处应描述腹部不适的症状,因此E项“它会引起疼痛、胀气、消化不良和其他症状”符合文意,承上启下,故选E项。
2.答案 A
解析 本空位于小标题的位置,结合其他小标题特点可知,应是动词原形开头的祈使句式,结合本段内容可知本段的主旨是:不用刻意让自己很饿去等待一顿大餐,这样才能让自己不会吃得过多。因此A项“Don’t starve yourself”(别让自己挨饿)符合本段主旨,适合作为本段的小标题,故选A项。
3.答案 D
解析 根据本段小标题“Start with water”以及空前一句“Instead of tucking into a heavy starter,down a tall glass of water.”可知,本段建议在饭前喝水会对你少吃有帮助,D项“这会让你有饱腹感,避免暴饮暴食”符合文意,故选D项。
4.答案 G
解析 根据上下句可知,有时候暴饮暴食是因为我们没有意识到身体发出的信息,所以G项“暴饮暴食者通常在他们的胃吃饱后很长一段时间还在吃”符合文意,承上启下,故选G项。
5.答案 C
解析 根据本段小标题“Slow down”及下文可知,本段介绍的方法是饮食时要慢下来,不要太快进食。因此C项“暴饮暴食包括吃东西很快”适合放在本段句首引出本段内容,故选C项。

Can you remember a time when somebody was kind to you Perhaps a person allowed you to go in front of them in a queue.Maybe your sister phoned you to ask how your week was going.Or perhaps a stranger or a friend helped you in a much deeper way. 1
Few people would disagree with the idea that a kind action is good for the soul.It is a win-win situation,leading to a sense of well-being for both the receiver and the giver.As a simple example,let’s imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. 2 Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise and,in addition,you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.
3 The idea behind this is that it doesn’t take any major plan to be kind,just a little bit of effort.They believe that kindness can be taught and that it is contagious(有感染力的).So by being kind to others,a more bright community and world will be created.
Some websites suggest more imaginative ways to show kindness. 4 The first is interpersonal kindness.Some examples are donating old clothes to charity or writing a positive online comment about a restaurant that you like.The second is environmental kindness,which could mean simply recycling or organizing a group event to clean a local park or beach.The third category is less obvious:personal kindness,which means treating yourself kindly.Some examples are taking a walk in nature or setting yourself an objective to complain less. 5
A.Doing something good can be very hard.
B.You praise it and show your admiration.
C.Generally,these fall into three categories.
D.Offering kindness can bring happiness.
E.There are a million ways to offer kindness.
F.People are encouraged to do random acts of kindness.
G.If you are kind to yourself,you will naturally be kinder to others.
1.答案 E
解析 上文主要列举了几种别人对你的友善举动,段尾句对本段有总结作用,E项说明表达善意的方式有很多,作为总结恰到好处。故选E项。
2.答案 B
解析 上文说:作为一个简单的例子,让我们假设你有一个总是把工作做得很好的同事,下文说:你的同事会很高兴得到表扬,由此可推测,中间句应该表达你对同事的工作表示赞扬。故选B项。
3.答案 F
解析 下文说:这背后的想法是,它不需要任何重大的计划,只是一点点努力和善意,是可以被教导的,由此可知,此处应该提到鼓励人们去做一些随机的善举。故选F项。
4.答案 C
解析 由下文中的“The first...The second...The third...”可知,此空处的意义应该是这三种做法的统领和概括。故选C项。
5.答案 G
解析 上文说:第三种则不那么明显:个人善良,这意味着善待自己,由此可知,选项承接上文,说明善待自己的作用。故选G项。

Since the age of three,Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer.But one night in 2010,Hill,then a 17-year-old high school senior,was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. 1 For Hill,it was just a beginning.“I wanted to prove to my community and to myself that I was still ‘normal’,” she told Teen Vogue. 2
3 She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries,and she invited them to dance with her.Hoping to reach more people in a larger city,Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities that she called “Rollettes”.“I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance,whether you are walking or you are rolling,” she told CBS News.So far,Hill has achieved her childhood dream.
4 Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users and in 2019,173 participants from ten countries attended.
For many,it was the first time they’d felt they belonged.Edna Serrano,a member of the Rollettes,said,“Being part of the Rollettes team has given me courage and confidence.It’s so powerful to have my teammates in my life,because they’re my teachers.” 5 One woman saw a YouTube video of the team competing and commented,“You guys are so awesome! I’m in tears because you rock!”
A.However,the Rollettes have helped her find more than that.
B.The dancers aren’t the only ones who feel inspired.
C.For most people,the hope of dancing career would have been ruined.
D.Chelsie Hill was so depressed because it completely ruined her dream.
E.Whatever normal means,it definitely took lots of learning and patience.
F.After graduation,Hill wanted to expand her dance to people alike.
G.Dancing on wheels can be just as fast-paced,artful,and fulfilling as the foot-based.

While marathon study sessions may be unavoidable sometimes,do your best to manage your time effectively.
Reduce your workload by studying more efficiently.Before you start studying,always read your task sheet to make sure you’re focusing on the right topics. 1 This saves you looking it up.Finally,pick out the most important information,so you can study it first.
2 Make sure you have everything you need,so you won’t need to get up every few minutes to get something.Neatly place your textbooks,pens,notebooks and other study materials in your study space.This way you can easily get what you need without taking an unplanned break.
Plan out your study sessions in advance.Think about the time you’ll need for each task,add 10% extra time for insurance,and then schedule blocks for your tasks. 3 Remember to include short breaks every hour or so.
Break up difficult tasks into smaller steps.Tasks such as “Study for the History Final” or “Write the Term Paper” can seem unapproachable.Instead of getting confused and upset,divide big tasks into small ones.If you’re studying for a final of a course,start by looking over past tests and quizzes. 4 Smaller study tasks may also include creating outlines that summarize textbook chapters.
Do your best to space out your study sessions instead of cramming(突击准备).Whenever possible,give yourself time to study a little bit at a time.It’s better to study for three separate three-hour sessions instead of one marathon nine-hour session. 5
A.Choose a quiet spot for studying.
B.Prepare your area before you start studying.
C.Schedule your toughest and most important tasks first.
D.Study difficult subjects first to get them out of the way.
E.Then divide the course into its units,and study one unit at a time.
F.Additionally,ask your instructor to explain any topic that confuses you.
G.Multiple shorter sessions will help you remember more information in the long run.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虽然有时候长时间的学习是不可避免的,但是我们还是要尽力对学习时间进行有效的管理。本文就此提供了五条实用的建议。
1.答案 F
解析 F项中的“any topic”与空前一句中的“the right topics”呼应,且选项中的“Additionally”和下文中的“Finally”呼应,所以选F项,与下一句“This saves you looking it up.”相衔接。
2.答案 B
解析 本空是该段的中心句。根据空后一句中的“Make sure you have everything you need...”和对本段的整体理解可推知,本段主要讲的是要在开始学习之前做好充分的准备,所以选B项。
3.答案 C
解析 根据本段的段首句“Plan out your study sessions in advance.”可知,本段提供的建议是要提前计划好学习的时间,选项C的内容与之相吻合,且选项C与空前的“...schedule blocks for your tasks.”在语意上衔接,所以选C项。
4.答案 E
解析 根据本段的段首句“Break up difficult tasks into smaller steps.”可知,本段提供的建议是把难的任务进行分解,再由空前一句中的course可知,选项E的内容与之相吻合,所以选E项。
5.答案 G
解析 本空是段尾句。根据本段的段首句中的“space out your study sessions instead of cramming(突击准备)”可知,本段提供的建议是把学习时间隔开而不是临时突击,再结合整段内容可知,空处应是进一步阐述了这样做的好处,G项与此相匹配。

Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don’t achieve anything significant.I made an interesting discovery.This difference may at first look obvious,but the fact is quite the opposite. 1
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.If they don’t,they wouldn’t take action. 2 When they take action,at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
3 What’s the purpose behind your actions?Do you work to thrive(蓬勃发展) or to survive Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences.People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive.They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things.They hate their employment but don’t quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater.I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once.That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 4 Therefore,you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don’t accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose.
They work to thrive. 5 They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.
A.And they don’t think about why something cannot be done.
B.Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.
C.It lies in what motivates people to take action.
D.So let me ask you a few questions.
E.And this makes you take even more or better quality action.
F.This state does not allow you to be creative.
G.But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.
语篇解读 每个人的行动背后都有一个动机。但成功人士在他们的行动背后有一个完全不同的动机。
1.答案 C
解析 联系上句意思以及下段第一句“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.”可知,选项C符合语境,能够连接上下文,故选C。
2.答案 G
解析 由前面两句和后面一句“When they take action,at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.(当他们采取行动的时候,他们在内心里思考的是这个行动将会带给他们的成功)”可知,此处讲的是成功的人的目的和动机,所以选项G符合语境。
3.答案 D
解析 根据下文作者提的几个问题可知,D项“所以让我问你几个问题”符合语境。
4.答案 F
解析 根据前一句“That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.(那是一个让人非常不舒服的状态,因为你总是担心微不足道的事情)”可知F项“This state does not allow you to be creative.”符合题意,其中“state”是原词复现。
5.答案 A
解析 本段描述成功人士的行动目的和生活状态,由此可以推测出A项符合语境,故选A。

Understand Your Pet’s Body Language
Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet. 1 Understanding your pet’s body language will help you to be a better communicator,as you can even copy some of its movements,expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
2 If your dog isn’t looking directly at you,but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes,it might be about to have an aggressive outburst.If your dog is feeling stressed or aggressive,its wide eyes will be accompanied by a rigid(绷紧的) body.
If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly,it’s likely communicating affection. 3 For cats,closing one’s eyes in the presence of another is a way to show trust.If your cat feels threatened,its tail will likely be upright; its back will likely be arched,too.
4 If your bird’s pupils(瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly,this can be a sign that it’s excited,greatly interested,scared or angry. 5 Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves;if their feathers remain shaking,however,this could mean they’re unwell,in which case,take them to an animal doctor for a checkup.
A.Pets’ health depends on your daily care.
B.You can do this back at your cat to show your love,too.
C.The context is important in telling which emotion it might be.
D.Birds can be quite expressive through their eyes,feathers,and voices.
E.When dogs feel stressed out or threatened,their eyes will look larger than normal.
F.Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together.
G.If you’re unsure of your pet’s body language,consider reading some articles for your specific animal.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章举例说明了如何通过解读宠物的肢体语言,来帮助宠物主人更好地和动物沟通。
1.答案 G
解析 由上文“Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet.”可推断,下文应该是告诉读者从自己的宠物种类来判断肢体语言的意思,如果不确定你的宠物的肢体语言时应该怎么做。G项与上文意思相承接,故选G项。
2.答案 E
解析 由下文“If your dog isn’t looking directly at you,but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes,it might be about to have an aggressive outburst.”可以推测,本段应该是从狗狗的眼神来判断它的情绪。E项与下文衔接自然,故选E项。
3.答案 B
解析 根据上文可知,如果你的猫看着你,慢慢地向你眨眼,这可能是在表达爱意。B项“你也可以对你的猫这样做,来表达你的爱”与上文意思承接,B项中的love对应上文的affection,故选B项。
4.答案 D

How to Think Outside the Box
Being open to dissenting(持异议的) opinions is not the only way to think outside the box. 1
A break in our everyday life may provide the force needed to shift the direction of our thinking.So we can change environments. 2 For example,reorganizing our desk or taking a new route to work.However,for others,bigger changes such as a new job or a marriage are required.
A famous concept is approaching routine situations as if we met or saw them for the first time.In other words,we should look at them as if we’d never seen them. 3 For instance,when we brush our teeth,take a moment to look at the toothbrush as if we never laid eyes on such an object and noticed its color and shape.Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how our mouth feels as we move the brush back and forth.
4 The mere presence of a group of people with diverse experiences,views and backgrounds in our everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change.Why?Because they are key drivers of the development of new ideas and solutions.
Unlike negative emotions(情感) that cause specific reactions (for example,fear drives us to flee),positive emotions help us broaden our attention,explore our environment,and open ourselves to absorbing information. 5 They can be those that are going well or for which we are grateful.This shifting-into-positivity process will automatically brighten our mood—and free our brain.
A.It’s also helpful to seek for the difference.
B.For some people,small changes might work.
C.We should show respect for different cultures too.
D.Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think.
E.Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life.
F.Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking.
G.“Beginners’ mind” allows us to remain open to experiences despite any knowledge we may have.
1.答案 D
解析 空前提到“对持异议的观点保持开放的态度不是唯一一种创造性思考的方法”,D项承上启下,是说还有别的一些技巧,且D项中“techniques”与空前一句中“way”呼应。故选D项。
2.答案 B
解析 空前提到“我们可以改变一下环境”,B项呼应上文,都是关于改变,空后一句是B项中“small changes”的具体内容;且B项与下文“However,for others,bigger changes such as a new job or a marriage are required.”形成对比。故选B项。
3.答案 G
解析 空前提到“换句话说,我们应该像从未见过它们一样来看待它们”,G项是说明空前提到的方法的好处,空后内容是对G项中的“Beginners’ mind”进行举例说明,上下文衔接紧密,故选G项。
4.答案 A
解析 空处位于句首,是段落主题句,根据本段内容“diverse experiences,views and backgrounds”及“Because they are key drivers of the development of new ideas and solutions.”可知,寻找差异对我们也有帮助。所以A项切题。故选A项。
5.答案 E
解析 根据空后“它们可以是那些进展良好或者我们所感激的事情”可知,E项切题,空后的They指代E项中“the beautiful things”,故选E项。

Why Gratitude Is Significant
As far as I’m concerned,no matter what you’re going through,there is always a reason to be thankful.But not only that—being thankful might just be exactly what you need to do if you’re going through a tough time. 1
Researchers found that having a grateful attitude helps strengthen one’s immune system,lower blood pressure,improve sleep and motivate people to exercise regularly. 2 Practicing gratitude also has been associated with better quality of life for individuals who struggle with stress,anxiety and depression.
Having gone through a period of depression myself after cancer surgery 10 years ago,I can tell you this illness can be severe. 3 I knew I was in trouble when I couldn’t eat or sleep.It took me well over a year to come out of that dark valley.
During that time I sought forms of treatment for depression,including professional counseling and exercise.One thing recommended to me by a counselor was keeping a gratitude journal. 4
This simple exercise lifts my sight out of the darkness and helps me see the truth around:there are people who love and care for you;there’s purpose in life.
5 In reality,there is no single cure for it.If suffering,you may prefer to seek professional counseling and care.Still,I would encourage you to practice gratitude.Think of a few things you can thank life for.You might be surprised by how significant an effect it can have.
A.Every day,I would set down three things I was thankful for in life.
B.Now I realize depression does not go away by practicing a single exercise.
C.It itself carries a host of health benefits.
D.Being grateful accounts for your recovery.
E.Gratitude is good for your mind,body and soul.
F.Depression makes you feel as if you are dead inside.
G.For example,I would sincerely convey my gratitude loudly.

Humans were made for walking.With our upright posture and strong leg muscles,our bodies were designed with walking in mind—which is what makes it such perfect exercise. 1 And best of all,it’s a great way to see new things and meet new people!
2 Wherever you are,in the city or at the campground,you’ll find plenty of walking going on.Studies have shown that taking a walk every day significantly reduces your risk for heart disease and high blood pressure,and it even lowers stress levels.Recently,science has proved that walking is even good for your body shape and brain.
To get started,sit down with a map and make a plan. 3 Do you want to meet other people?See new places?Get out into the wilderness or explore a city?Knowing your strengths will help you decide on the type of walk you want to do.
If making friends and socializing is your goal,call up your friends and schedule walks with them.Ask your friends where they like to walk and go there,since this will introduce you to new places.Go online and look up your local mall or shopping center.Many malls have groups that come every day,or every weekend,to “walk the mall”. 4
From the benefits to your heart to your overall happiness,walking is just plain good for you.
This month pick up a map and start walking. 5
A.Headed to a new city
B.It’s good for our bodies and great for our waistlines.
C.This month,why not focus on walking with a purpose
D.These groups are always happy to include one more walker!
E.You might find open groups of dog walkers at your local park.
F.It’s a fantastic way to get to know the world,using your own two feet.
G.Ask yourself,what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits

14.Making the Most of Life Experiences
If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is,you’ll likely receive wildly different responses.The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 1 Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day.Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.
Follow your dreams
The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams.Passion will die without actions supporting them. 2 Every day take an action,no matter how small,to achieve your goals.Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.
Make lots of mistakes
3 Many of the strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed,and those lessons have stayed with me.Failure is beneficial to us.And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.
4
Difficult and painful experiences shape our character,but can also weigh us down.These prevent us from moving forward.So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional state.If you’re under stress,your body and mind both require time to recover. 5
For me,life is about experiences.We all have to dream,work hard,and fail before we can achieve success.Maybe we’ll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination.
A.Improve your personality
B.Take care of yourself
C.Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.
D.It’s best to rest,recover,and slowly build back up your strength.
E.Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes,it is impossible to avoid them.
F.Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go—our experiences.
G.Though we can’t choose the outcome of our actions,we can choose to keep pursuing.

While a new environment is exciting,the adjustment process can be challenging.Even if everything is going well at the beginning of your new job or school,something unexpected can happen. 1 The following tips will help you adapt to a new environment more quickly and smoothly.
Ask questions.It is understandable that when you start,you don’t want to show you need additional explanation,but you have to remember you are new! You are learning an entirely different process,so there will be things you need to ask to understand. 2 In fact,it has the exact opposite effect.You will not only impress others with your original ideas but also open up opportunities to build relationships across your new team.
Seek out a mentor(指导者).Having a mentor,particularly at the beginning,can make your adaptation much more manageable.This person can be your boss,your professor,or just a friendly classmate or co-worker. 3 And more importantly,they can help you learn some essential things you won’t find in the handbook.
Get to know people.Beyond your mentor,make it a priority to find more new friends.It does make a considerable difference.This way,you will feel more connected and a part of things,instead of being an island.This doesn’t mean you have to go to every corner and introduce yourself. 4
Focus on this role. 5 Thinking of how comfortable you felt in your last role means you wish things were the same and second-guess yourself,which can threaten a quick adaptation.Don’t look backward.Welcome the new challenges,appreciate the new skills you are learning,and you are sure to be successful in the new role.
A.Doing this won’t make you look less intelligent.
B.Comparison usually hurts us more than it helps us.
C.It can be as simple as getting involved in group activities.
D.Don’t let your feeling of unfamiliarity be an excuse to stay alone.
E.You can make the change more difficult if you go in the wrong way.
F.They’ll field your questions and help you adjust to the culture easily.
G.Focus on identifying how your previously learned skills can benefit you.

解析 本段主旨为“结识他人”。空前说你不需要一个一个去介绍你自己,空处应该说我们应该怎么做,C项“它可以像参与小组活动一样简单”,符合语境。故选C项。
5.答案 B
解析 本段主旨为“专注于这个角色”。根据后一句:想到自己在上一个角色中的感觉有多舒服,就意味着你希望一切都和以前一样,然后,重新猜测自己,这可能会威胁到你的快速适应。由此可知,此处是在作对比。故选B项。
