Passage 1
(2023山东泰安二模)
How to set up a Library of Things
Instead of cluttering(乱堆放)our homes,garages and the planet,setting up a Library of Things allows neighbours to borrow and share huge,pricey goods. 1 But instead of borrowing books,local people are borrowing drills,pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee.Here’s how to start your own:
Talk to your neighbours
2 Do they feel their home is too cluttered Do they want to do their bit for the environment and spend less money Link into local networks and ask people to vote on a “wish list” of items they could borrow.
Find a space
Start small in someone’s garage or local market to see what items are most popular.Then find space in buildings in urban areas with high footfall such as libraries or community hubs. 3
Why start a Library of Things
We were living in a small house and needed some tools to put up shelves.We didn’t want to own the tools and hiring them was expensive! 4 Inspired by tool libraries in the US and lending libraries in Berlin,we started a small Library of Things locally and seven years later we’re running five Library of Things locations across London.
What other impact on the local area
We’ve run very successful events led by borrowers such as mending meetups,sewing classes,DIY classes. 5 Borrowers have previously tested out new food businesses at the market by using our items.And for every £10 someone spends on borrowing,£8 stays locally,creating local jobs and supporting the local community spaces.
A.Find out if local people need a sharing library.
B.The Library of Things has a multiplier effect locally.
C.You’ll need some money to set up your sharing library.
D.But in rural areas,a mobile sharing library could work.
E.We were also getting annoyed about waste we were creating.
F.Speak to others who have done it and are willing to share their knowledge.
G.Affordable,convenient and environmental-friendly,sharing libraries are popping up.
Passage 2
(2023广东潮州二模)
My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item.Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White.This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”.I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky,the female lead who was Tom’s girlfriend. 1
For starters,Becky had to sing numerous solos,and I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.I also didn’t have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.
I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson,the maid.I had to wear an ugly dress.And I had only one line to learn,“That’s what I say.” 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes,and got to repeat “That’s what I say” throughout the play.
At last,our production was put onstage.Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with “That’s what I say”.I hadn’t known that she — or I — could be funny,or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3
That night,I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supporting role.Each person,onstage and backstage,is essential in theater.Without everyone doing their part,the play would be dull as dirt. 4 If everyone’s a star then nothing gets done.It’s all noise and chaos.
And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson,to become someone they didn’t know they wanted to be. 5
A.So it is in life.
B.It was not to be.
C.It was anything but a great part.
D.My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.
E.It took the entire cast to make a good show.
F.There was an advantage,in my opinion,though.
G.I would hope all children could be a hit in life.
Passage 3
(2023山东青岛二模)
The benefits of walking are many,but deciding how many miles to cover and how much time to spend walking each day is another matter.
Studies have shown that the average American takes between 3,000 and 4,000 steps daily doing everyday things — about 1.5 to 2 miles. 1 But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises most adults to aim for 10,000 steps a day or about 5 miles.And the recommendation contributes to more positive health outcomes.
2 You can measure your efforts in quantities of time instead.“As a walker,you should aim for at least 30 minutes per day,or a total of 150 minutes per week,” says Austin,a licensed psychotherapist.What’s more,if 30 minutes of walking is unrealistic for you to do all at once,then breaking it up into three short,10-minute sessions. 3
It may also be helpful to health to make walking a part of one’s daily routine.People can take the stairs instead of the elevator,park at the other end of the lot and walk a further distance to a store’s entrance when shopping. 4 Then walk the rest of the way home.All these additional steps can be acquired creatively,beyond fixed walking time.
On top of such physical benefits,walking has been shown to improve sleep and mental health including mood and self-esteem. 5 Therefore,it is free and well accepted by the majority of people.If one is ready to improve overall levels of fitness,walking ticks all the right boxes.
A.Combine walking with everyday routine.
B.They will provide the same health benefits.
C.What if counting results by miles isn’t your thing
D.Still,why not get off public transportation a stop early
E.Walking sessions should be continuous to be beneficial.
F.That amount alone has been shown to lower one’s death risk.
G.Walking requires no special equipment,gym membership or training.
Passage 4
(2023湖南怀化二模)
If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly,repetition won’t cut it. 1 Below are some universal steps to mastering the art of recalling so that you can start memorizing a ton of data in a short amount of time.
Make preparations.
Pay close attention to which environment you choose.For most people,this means choosing an area with few distractions.Figure out what is most beneficial to your learning so that you can get started.Next,start drinking some tea. 2
Record what you’re memorizing.
This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture.Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it.If you’re trying to memorize a speech,record yourself reading the speech aloud and listen to yourself speaking.
3
Before you start trying to recall everything from memory,write and re-write the information.Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes,separate them into sections.You can use color coding to differentiate between subjects.This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize.
Apply repetition to accumulated memorization.
4 As you memorize each set of the text,accumulate it by adding the new information to what you’ve just learned.This will keep everything within your short-term memory from fading.Keep doing this until you have memorized that section and you are able to recall the entire thing.Do not move on to another section until you have memorized that one completely.
Teach it to someone (or yourself).
The most effective method for me when I was in school was to teach the information to someone else. 5 If what you’ve learned needs to be recited literally,then do this in front of someone as well in order to get a feel for what it will be like to recite the text to the intended audience.
Take a break.
Finally,let your mind breathe.Go for a short time without thinking about what you just learned and come back to it later on.You’ll find out what you really know,of course,and this will help you focus on the sections you might be weakest at.
A.Recall entire sections.
B.However,recalling something will.
C.Write everything down and section your notes.
D.You can lecture the knowledge to someone sitting right in front of you.
E.For each line of the text,repeat it a few times and try to recall it without looking.
F.While doing unrelated tasks,go over the information by listening to your tape recordings.
G.Many scientific studies have confirmed green tea as a natural fuel for improving memory.

Passage 1
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了开设一家共享物品馆的步骤和它对社会经济产生的积极作用。
1.G 上文“Instead of cluttering our homes,garages and the planet,setting up a Library of Things allows neighbours to borrow and share huge,pricey goods.”提到要建立物品馆,可知,空处承接上文,指出物品馆出现了,与G项“价格合理、方便且环保的共享物品馆正在涌现”符合,同时和下文“But instead of borrowing books,local people are borrowing drills,pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee.”构成转折关系,说明虽然共享物品馆涌现,但是人们没有去借书而是租借了其他物品。
2.A 根据下文“Link into local networks and ask people to vote on a ‘wish list’ of items they could borrow.”可知,通过链接可以让人们对于可以借的物品进行投票是对A项“了解当地人是否需要共享物品馆”内容的承接,指出了解当地人是否对共享物品馆有需求这一问题的具体做法就是通过在网上让人们投票。
3.D 根据上文“Then find space in buildings in urban areas with high footfall such as libraries or community hubs.”可知,上文介绍了在城市的哪些地方可以找到空间建立共享物品馆,与D项“但在农村地区,移动共享物品馆可以发挥作用”构成转折关系,表明在乡村地区共享物品馆的形式和城市中的情况有所不同。
4.E 根据上文“We were living in a small house and needed some tools to put up shelves.We didn’t want to own the tools and hiring them was expensive!”可知,我们不想为搭架子的工具花钱,和E项“我们也对自己制造的浪费感到恼火”都是对小标题“为什么建立物品馆”的原因举例说明。
5.B 上文“We’ve run very successful events”及下文“Borrowers have previously tested out new food businesses...creating local jobs and supporting the local community spaces.”是对B项“物品馆在当地具有乘数效应”中的 multiplier effect这一概念进行了解释说明,乘数效应是指在公共工程项目之后带来的消费水平和私人投资水平的上升,因为物品馆举办的活动使人们的就业机会增加并支持了当地的社区空间。
Passage 2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过小时候一次戏剧表演中成功扮演了一个小角色的经历告诉我们生活中每个孩子都有机会取得成功。
1.B 根据空前的“I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky,the female lead who was Tom’s girlfriend.”可知,作者非常想扮演贝基这个角色,但是根据第二段内容可知,因为作者自身的条件,她演贝基这个角色是不可能的。由设空处上下文内容可知,此处应是一个承上启下的句子,所以B项“It was not to be.”符合题意。
2.F 根据空后的“Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes,and got to repeat ‘That’s what I say’ throughout the play.”可知,作者虽然扮演的是个小角色,但是,作者认为对她来说是好事,因为她只需要说一句台词“那就是我说的”。所以F项“There was an advantage,in my opinion,though.”符合题意,空后的句子是对设空处句子的解释。
3.D 根据空前的“Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson...her character was important in moving the plot along.”可知,作者扮演的沃森小姐很受欢迎、很成功。所以D项“My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.”符合题意。
4.A 由空前的“Each person,onstage and backstage,is essential in theater.Without everyone doing their part,the play would be dull as dirt.”可知,作者认为在戏剧中,台上和后台的每个人都是必不可少的。而根据空后的“If everyone’s a star then nothing gets done.It’s all noise and chaos.”可知,作者把演戏和生活联系在一起,生活中也不可能人人都是明星。所以,设空处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子,故选A项。
5.G 由第四段内容可知,作者扮演的沃森小姐很受欢迎、很成功。再由空前的“And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson,to become someone they didn’t know they wanted to be.”可知,作者认为所有的孩子都应该有机会扮演沃森小姐,也就是说所有的孩子都有机会成功。故选G项。
Passage 3
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日常生活中步行的好处。
1.F 根据空前“Studies have shown that the average American takes between 3,000 and 4,000 steps daily doing everyday things — about 1.5 to 2 miles.”可知,这里继续介绍每天走3000到4000步的好处——可以降低死亡风险。故选F项。
2.C 根据空后“You can measure your efforts in quantities of time instead.”可知,如果不喜欢用多少英里计算步行,也可以用时间来衡量。所以C项 “What if counting results by miles isn’t your thing ”符合上下文语境。
3.B 根据空前“What’s more,if 30 minutes of walking is unrealistic for you to do all at once,then breaking it up into three short,10-minute sessions.”可知,不管是连续步行30分钟还是分成三个10分钟完成都能达到同样的健康好处。所以B项“They will provide the same health benefits.”符合上下文语境。
4.D 根据空后“Then walk the rest of the way home.”可知,这里介绍日常生活中坐公共汽车可以提前一站下车,走着回家,达到步行锻炼的目的。故选D项。
5.G 根据空后“Therefore,it is free and well accepted by the majority of people.”可知,前后句是因果关系,说明步行免费的原因——不需要特殊的设备,也不需要会员资格或训练。故选G项。
Passage 4
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可以在短时间内记住大量数据的方法。
1.B 上文“If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly,repetition won’t cut it.”说明重复不会快速、彻底地记住某件事,与空格处是转折关系,因此B项“然而,回忆一些事情会的”符合语境。
2.G 上文“Next,start drinking some tea.”说明准备期间喝些茶,因此G项“许多科学研究已经证实绿茶是一种提高记忆力的天然燃料”符合语境。
3.C 下文“Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes,separate them into sections.”说明要把事情记下来并且合理分组,因此C项“把所有的东西都写下来,并区分你的笔记”概括段意。
4.E 本段主旨句“Apply repetition to accumulated memorization.”强调重复的重要性,因此E项“对于每一行文本,重复几次,试着不看就回忆起来”符合语境。
5.D 上文“The most effective method for me when I was in school was to teach the information to someone else.”说明于作者而言,教授他人知识是最有效的方法,因此D项“你可以把知识传授给坐在你面前的人”符合语境。
