I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents.____31____

Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something; other times it may be to entertain，inform, or persuade. ____32____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.

____34____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____35____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client.

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.____36____So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.

Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水 管 ) worked. ____37____Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ____38____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency.
You can tell this by cafés life.

You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources （资源） to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor 36 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 37 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
38 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 39 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them —things always look different when you put them on.
Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go, " or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 40 . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. Just keep music playing throughout
E. Donate whatever clothes are left over
F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

___38___ If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.___39___.
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）. ___40___.

【2021年6月浙江卷】You’ve got mail…and it’s a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome’s Colosseum. Or Africa’s Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall. 31
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it 32 ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo’s hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 33 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn’t work if one doesn’t understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that’s English since it’s widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 35 That said, we know of many post crossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of post crossing," Paulo says.
A. And that’s totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.

It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____36____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
____37____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____38____
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____39____
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____40____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking
B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.

____39____ Background noise from the TV or radio can help them to feel less alone. There is even a dog TV channel designed to create happy and calm thoughts in dogs, showing idyllic scenes of fields, beaches and other dogs.
You can also gradually lengthen the distance and time of your separation until your dogs can be left alone for 20 minutes without showing their usual symptoms of sadness and stress. ____40____

With schools closing and big events cancelled in Europe, your child probably has questions and concerns about COVID-19. That can be tough to talk about, but kids need to feel safe. ___16___ Here're some tips from a family medicine physician on how to talk to children about COVID-19.
First of all, stay calm. ___17___ If you're showing panic or anxiety, so will they. Instead, confirm their concerns to show that you understand why they might be nervous-and that a little nervousness is OK. It's important for them to know that there's no need to panic. Then talk calmly about what's happening, and tell them people are working very hard to make things better.
___18___ One of the best ways to calm children is to let them believe they can protect not just themselves-but other people as well. Tell them that when they follow the rules for staying healthy, that helps other people stay safe since the child won't be spreading the disease. This is their job-to do what they already know they should be doing to keep themselves and others healthy.
Meet children where they are. Very young children might not be asking any questions, and in that case there's no reason to discuss the topic. ___19___ Be honest and don't scare them or become alarmist.

Weeds, the fast-growing plants that cannot be eaten and do not bring flowers, are a common problem for gardeners. Some use chemicals to kill weeds. Others pull them up by hand or with heavy machinery. Luckily, there are other ways to limit their growth.
For starters, there are mulches which can bury weeds. Mulches are made from organic material, such as leaves, grass cuttings, and small pieces of wood. They are spread over the ground in a garden to control weeds. Organic mulches break down over time. ____16____ That is not a bad thing, because their decomposition creates nutrients for plants and humus to keep soils wet and full of fresh air.
Plastic mulch is another way to stop mon black plastic is easy to lay down. It also effectively blocks weeds and helps soil warm faster in the spring. ____17____ A reflective plastic mulch, for example, keeps some plant-eating insects away. A major problem with plastic is that it breaks apart over time, so eventually it needs to be thrown away. It also adds nothing to the soil as far as nutrients or humus. ____18____
Finally, in addition to direct attacks on weeds, how you plant your garden can indirectly influence weed growth. For example, close spacing of plants in the garden blocks sunlight from reaching the ground and can limit weed growth. And using a watering method known as drip irrigation will direct small amounts of water to the roots of your plants instead of the weeds. ____19____ Lying in soil are millions of weed seeds just waiting to be awakened by light and air.
Using any or all of these methods will not permanently stop weed growth. ____20____
A. So you must add more to your garden often.
B. And plastic also can block air from reaching the soil.
C. However, we could finally make it through our efforts.
D. So it adds little to the soil in terms of humus or nutrients.
E. Instead, your goal is simply to limit their growth in the garden.
F. Whether or not you dig up your soil also influences weed growth.
G. Recent experiments with other colored plastic have shown effects on both bugs and plant growth.

____37____ It may include family, home, work, hobbies and interests, and emotional life. Think carhether you have friends who can provide it. And if there are friendships that do not fulfill (满足) you anymore, just let them go.
Start with those you miss most. Rekindling (重新唤起) a relationship is easier than starting one. If it’s someone you deeply care about and really miss, they are going to be thrilled to hear from you. ____38____ Sometimes the best way to maintain a friendship is to show up when you are needed. And it can feel good to help someone else rather than always focus on your own issues.
Once you have identified the types of friends you need, take action to find them. Start with the area of your life that feels loneliest. For me, after two years of not seeing colleagues in person, I realized I need more work friends. The rekindling-versus-starting-anew advice holds here, too. Have you recently moved Maybe there is someone from your past who lives nearby. Join a group of people who share your interests — or your current struggle — and show up regularly. ____39____
Don’t limit yourself by age, race, gender or anything else. Often, the people who expand our world to the greatest extent are those who are different from us. ____40____ It is great to have friends close by, but that is not always possible. With the Internet, you can make a meaningful connection anywhere. Remember that family and even pets can be friends, too. If you can keep your definition of friendship broad, you are going to have the strongest team.

Children love getting dirty. ____35____ But getting muddy could have a powerful effect on their wellbeing, too.
“Don’t get dirty!” was once a constant family warning, as parents despairingly watched their children spoil their best clothes. Whether they were running through farmers’ fields, climbing trees or catching tadpoles, it was inevitable that children’s whites would turn brown before the day was over.

I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人), they always ask me, “How do you do that ” Honestly, my answer will be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” ____16____ They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.
____17____ And what do we have in common I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. ____18____
One time as I was listening to an Irish polyglot, it suddenly dawned on me; the thing they have in common is that they found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. ____19____ The methods are various, but they make sure it’s something enjoyable.
I realized it’s actually how I learn. ____20____ Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy person, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.

B. There’s no shortcut to learning languages for anyone.

It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____16____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
____17____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____18____
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____19____
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____20____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking
B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.

【2022新高考全国Ⅱ卷】Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___36___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___37___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___38___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___39___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___40___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

【36题详解】
根据文章标题“Important Things to Know When Dining Out (外出就餐时要知道的重要事情)”可知，本文主要介绍的是外出就餐时应该知道的重要事情。由此可知，D项“Don’t get caught making an embarrassing mistake at a restaurant (不要在餐馆犯尴尬的错误)”符合语境，其中“at a restaurant”对应标题中的“When Dining Out”，同时引起下文“Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family — no matter where you are in the world. (知道一些技巧将有助于确保你和朋友或家人一起享受一顿愉快的晚餐——无论你在世界的哪个地方)”。故选D。

(当你在吃的间隙把它们放下来的时候，一定要把它们放在一起，这样它们就和你面前的桌子边缘平行了)”可知，此处讲述了正确使用筷子的方式。由此可知，F项“Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them (不要把它们笔直地插在你的食物中，也不要在使用它们时交叉放置)”讲述的也是使用筷子时的注意事项，符合此处语境，其中“them”指的是上文的“chopsticks”。故选F。

Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships.
·Set a regular date

·More isn’t always merrier
Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. ___37___. There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.
·Practise empathy (共情)
___38___. The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.
· ___39___
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.
·Don’t rely on technology alone
___40___, but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible.
A. Remember important dates
B. Compensate by writing letters
C. It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper
D. Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it
E. Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication
F. It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media
G. You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind
【答案】 36. D 37. E 38. G 39. A 40. F
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。
【36题详解】
上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”（平日繁忙，很难抽出时间打电话。）讲是双方都很忙碌，很难有时间给对方打电话，D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打电话，并坚持下去” 给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法，符合题意。故选D项。
【37题详解】
上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”（确保你已经和你的朋友沟通过，了解你们想要联系的频率，以及哪种方法对你们双方都最有效。）提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式，E项“朋友需要谈论他们喜欢的交流方式”承接上文，进一步提出对交流的方法的沟通，下文“There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”（除了持续的文字交流，还有其他选择，比如留下语音信息或进行群聊。）对E项中的“methods of communication”进行了举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
【38题详解】
下文“The friend who is remaining”（留下来的朋友）和“The one in the new environment”（在新环境中的那个）提到朋友的两个不同处境，G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方，也可能是被留下的那一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方，其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”，所以G项符合题意。故选G项。
【39题详解】
分析文章结构可知，设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法，是第五段的小标题。下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships.”（周年纪念日和生日对于异地友谊而言是非常重要的。）讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要的，由此推知，这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“记得重要的日子”，所以A项符合题意。故选A项。
【40题详解】
设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.”（但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系。）讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone”（不要仅仅依赖技术）中的“technology”。故选F项。

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents.____31____
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something; other times it may be to entertain，inform, or persuade. ____32____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____33____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.
____34____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____35____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.
A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.
B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.
C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.
D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.
E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.
F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.
G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. E 34. F 35. G

【33题详解】

【34题详解】
根据空后“Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. (在玩电子游戏时发短信、在线消息、实时聊天都意味着他们在不断地产生书面信息。 )”可知，科技的发展让人们的写作变得更普遍。结合选项F“As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. (随着科技的发展，年轻人写的东西比以前更多了。)”可知，前后语意一致，符合语境。故选F项。

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.____36____So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水 管 ) worked. ____37____Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ____38____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency.
You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded.____40____When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.

You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources （资源） to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor 36 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 37 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
38 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 39 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them —things always look different when you put them on.
Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go, " or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 40 . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. Just keep music playing throughout
E. Donate whatever clothes are left over
F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

【2021年6月浙江卷】You’ve got mail…and it’s a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome’s Colosseum. Or Africa’s Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall. 31
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it 32 ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo’s hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 33 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn’t work if one doesn’t understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that’s English since it’s widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 35 That said, we know of many post crossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of post crossing," Paulo says.
A. And that’s totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【答案】 31. G 32. A 33. E 34. F 35. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了34岁的葡萄牙电脑工程师Paulo Magalhaes喜欢世界各地的明信片，克服困难，设法借助网络发展自己的爱好、创办 网站并取得成功的故事。
【31题解析】G。
考查与上文的联系。前文以具体形象的例子表现主人公对明信片的喜爱：loves open…and find a brightly colored picture of…，or…or…，这些brightly colored pictures正是明信片。因此，下一句进行总结。In short简言之，就是上文的概括，概括为loves postcards and the excitement…喜欢明信片，喜欢收到远方朋友手写卡片的兴奋感。故选G。
【32题解析】A。
考查前后文联系。上文说 "你意识到并不是每个人都喜欢明信片"，下文说 "寻找其他志同道合的人……" 表示主人公接受上文所讲事实，然后才能和有共同兴趣的人继续自己的爱好。A项 "这完全没问题" 正是表示主人公接受这一点。故选A。
【33题解析】E。
考查段落主旨和前后文联系。全段都在写主人公将自己的爱好发展成了一个成功的社交网站。前文的各项数据也和E项的数据衔接自然，都是在介绍这个网站的成功；同时，这些数据的量都很大，使得空白后 "运营这个网站几乎成了全职工作" 成为必然的结果。故选E项。
【34题解析】F。
考查段落主旨和前后文联系。全段都在写对于写明信片来说，语言可能是一个障碍。4空前是具体的论据 "尽管收到一封用中文写的明信片很酷，但如果收信人不理解中文的话，这个明信片就没什么意义" 。紧接着加F项 "类似地，如果你只讲中文，收到一封瑞典语的明信片也会让乐趣大打折扣" 同样都是对段落主旨的论证，而在衔接上用了similarly也很自然，故选F。
【35题解析】B
考查与上文的联系。前文说 "很多中国人对英语的接触有限"，这导致用英语写明信片比较难，正是B项所说 "那使得学习和练习写英语明信片尤其得难"。选项中That指代上文的句子；而句尾的it指代上一段段尾句English is required in postcrossing。B项与上文衔接紧密，故选B。

It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____36____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.
____37____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____38____
In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____39____
It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____40____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions.
A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking
B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets.
C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.
D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.
E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition.
F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.
G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.
【答案】36. A 37. G 38. F 39. D 40. C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是否真的是因为糟糕的决策能力，并且分析了贫困给人们带来的不好的影响。
【36题详解】
根据空前内容“It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills.(人们普遍认为，人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力)”可知，上文提到的是人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力。而下文“In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.(事实上，过去十年的几项研究表明，因果关系可能比人们普遍认为的要复杂得多)”则认为答案不是那么简单。选项A“But is poverty really caused by poor thinking (但是，贫穷真的是由糟糕的思维造成的吗？)”对上文观点提出质疑，同时引出下文，也就是本文的主题——人们陷入糟糕的财务状况的原因很复杂。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles.(科学家首先向研究参与者提出了一系列问题，让他们思考自己的个人收入和储蓄。然后他们被要求解决一些谜题)”可知，科学家们进行了一个实验，想弄清楚个人经济状况和解决谜题之间是否有联系。选项G“One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.(2013年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，人们解决问题的能力可能会受到当前经济状况的显著影响)”与下文内容一致，故选G。

根据上文内容“Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared.(那些财务状况较好的人比那些财务困难的人在解决谜题方面表现得更好。然而，当在不让参与者考虑自己财务状况的情况下重复测试时，富人和穷人之间的表现差异就消失了)”可知，根据研究结果，我们可以推断人们解决问题的能力会受到自己经济状况的影响。选项F“This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.(这表明，担心自己糟糕的财务状况会使穷人的表现比那些没有财务问题的人更差)”是上文研究的总结，符合上文内容。故选F。

根据上文内容“In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health.(在2018年德克萨斯大学进行的另一项研究中，对300多名年龄在20岁至89岁之间的人的大脑进行了扫描和分析，以寻找良好认知功能的迹象。研究发现，在35岁至64岁的人群中，经济状况较好的人大脑更健康，包括记忆力更好、老年痴呆症风险更低等特征。然而，在年轻人(年龄在20到34岁之间)中，财富和大脑健康之间似乎没有任何联系)”可知，研究人员进行了研究，以探究贫困和大脑健康之间的联系。选项D“Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.(综上所述，这些结果表明长期贫困只会逐渐导致大脑的磨损)”是上文研究结果的总结，该研究表明，长期贫困会对大脑无益。故选D。
