Hand gestures (手势) have been commonly used in our daily communication. They add to the message by filling in what words sometimes leave behind. But are you somewhat aware of the history that goes behind some of these popular hand gestures
◆Handshake
Whether you’re greeting someone for the first time, or successfully negotiating (商定) an agreement, shaking hands is usually the go-to gesture. Who decided on this customary gesture, anyway The history of the handshake dates back to ancient Greece, showing that neither person was carrying a weapon.
◆Thumbs up and thumbs down
Maybe you’re familiar with the popular story of this hand gesture dating back to Roman times. When a gladiator (角斗士) lost, the crowd would either stick their thumbs out to have him killed or just not make any sign at all. The thumbs up decided the gladiator’s fate (命运) . After WWII, thumbs up only came to mean that things were going smoothly. And thumbs down meant the opposite.
◆High five
According to some sources, the high five first became popular when baseball players performed at Dodger Stadium on October 2, 1977. Glenn Burke, one of the capable players, lifted his am high above his head and slapped palms with his teammate Dusty Baker to celebrate a milestone home run, marking what is widely regarded as the first recorded example of a high five.
◆The fist bump
The fist bump comes from boxers in the 1970s after people began imitating how they touched gloves before a competition. Later, instead of shaking hands, first bumps became popular among basketball players. The gesture soon spread to all basketball lovers, and, before long, to the President of the United States.
1. What did “thumbs up” mean to a gladiator in Roman times
A. Being cheered. B. Being killed. C. Being appreciated. D. Being blamed.
2. Which gesture is in celebration of a home run

At Christmas last year, Cathy Wood’s family home in Manchester was disturbingly quiet. Her daughters, 19 and 21, were revising for exams. She says she and her husband “hardly saw anything of them…I was a bit bored.” Bored and frustrated, she bought a 45kg bunch of secondhand clothes, without knowing what she was going to do with it.
Wood, a former teacher of English, has always loved clothes. At university, Wood hung out with the fashion students and sewed her own new romantic outfits. Wood, now 62, enjoyed shopping for vintage (老款) clothing and had even discussed getting a shop with a friend, but the rents put them off. A week or so after the bunch arrived, she booked a stall (货摊) at West Didsbury Makers Market.
Standing at her first market stall was a wholly new experience though. “It was very different from teaching. You need just the right amount of contact with people.” Wood sold four pieces at her first market, which paid for the stall and left a small surplus (盈余). Now, she sometimes returns home with 30 empty coat hangers. But it was the contact with customers and fellow traders that she found most rewarding. “It’s a lovely environment. You chat and get to know each other. I really enjoyed it.” she says.
Sometimes, in quiet moments on the stall, she takes out her mending and thinks of her mother and grandmother. “My grandmother taught art and crafts, and both she and my mother spent a lot of time with the sewing machine, teaching me to sew,” “What these clothes do is transport me back to different times when things were easier for me. They give me a pleasurable feeling. Nostalgia (怀旧) can be a good thing in that way.”
After she stopped teaching, she “started to feel like a non person”, she says. The market stall “has given me status in my own mind to be part of the community, contributing something, to be somebody people talk to, somebody people smile at.”
4. Why did Wood sell secondhand clothes
A. To keep her friend company.
B. To pick up her sewing skills.
C. To kill her boring life.
D. To pay her daughter’s schooling fees.
5. What does Wood find most rewarding in her business
A. The money earned from the business.
B. The communication with other people.
C. The competition with different traders.
D The environment of the market stall.
6. What does the underlined word “They” in Para.4 refer to
A. Her grandmother and mother. B. Art and crafts.
C. The secondhand clothes. D. The good old days.
7. What does Wood say concerning her secondhand clothes business
A. It has made her a worthy person.
B. It has improved her marketing skills.
C. It has helped her to be a funny person.
D It has made her community much richer.
C
Hundreds of new drivers have been given bans (禁令) for using their mobile phones at the wheel, as part of stricter new laws introduced. In March, the punishment for driving while on the phone was doubled to six points — meaning drivers with less than two years’ experience faced a ban.
New laws meant the punishment for being caught on a mobile phone at the wheel was increased to six points. The new rules were introduced in England, Scotland and Wales. Drivers who get six points within two years of passing their test will lose their licence, creating a one-strike rule for mobile phone users. To get back behind the wheel, new drivers have to retake both the theory and practical parts of the driving test.
Mr Williams in the RAC said, “These people have spent hours and hours and hundreds of pounds learning to drive to gain their personal freedom only to throw it all away through this foolish behaviour. The only comfort is that they won’t be drawn into some terrible crashes caused by the distraction (使人分心事物) of a hand-held mobile phone.”
When the new laws were introduced, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said they would act as a strong warning to mobile phone users. However, the numbers suggested a total of 15,752 drivers received the punishment of six points for using a mobile phone between March and August. This is an increase from 15, 237 drivers in the same period of last year.
National Police Chiefs’ Council Lead on roads Policing, Chief Constable Anthony Bangham, said the police took the offence (违法行为) seriously. “This is not a small offence and is never a risk worth taking because a moment’s distraction behind the wheel can change lives forever.” “Our message is simple — don’t do it,” he added.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph1
A. The new laws have not been passed.
B. The new laws are not strict enough.
C. Drivers with less than two years’ experience won’t be affected.
D. Punishment for driving while phoning used to be three points.
9. What will happen if a Welsh citizen who got a licence last year gets six points
A. He will be fined a lot.
B. He must learn the new rules.
C. He will lose his driving licence.
D. He will be given a warning.
10. When the new laws were first introduced, _________.
A. traffic accidents were cut down
B. there were still many drivers who broke them
C. drivers thought the laws were unfair to them
D. fewer people broke them compared
11. What does Anthony Bangham mean
A. The police didn’t take the new rules seriously.
B. The roads policy should be improved for safety.
C. A moment of carelessness may cause big accidents.
D. The laws need to be improved a lot and retested.
D
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas and the other means cold, hard data-some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they have learned in the science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned(随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit-about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in a traditional class performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started off in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques(技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
12. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To see if art might improve science learning
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
13. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Take two types of classes. B. Learn three units in total.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they’d like to learn.
14. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Finish. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Memorize.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Art helps students develop creativity.
B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.
C. Art can make science easier to remember.
D. Art has something in common with science.

How you talk to yourself about events, experiences and people plays a large role in shaping how you interpret events. When you find yourself interpreting something in a negative way or only focusing on the bad aspect of the situation, look for ways to talk about the events in a more positive light. ___16___ Instead, it simply means refocusing so that you give fair and equal importance to good events.
When you find yourself worrying about things, look for an uplifting activity to pull yourself out of this negative mindset(心态) ____17____ In this case, try to turn your attention elsewhere and engage in an activity that brings you joy.

Where negative things might be quickly transferred and stored in your long-term memory, you need to make more efforts to get the same effect from happy moments. ___19___Replay the moment several times in your memory and focus on the wonderful feelings the memory inspires.
The negativity bias (偏见) can have a powerful impact on your behavior, but being aware of it means you can take steps to adopt a more positive outlook on life. One of the best ways to combat negative bias is taking a more mindful approach involving being aware of your own tendency toward negativity and consciously elevating (使情绪高昂) happier thoughts to the forefront of awareness. ____20____Taking steps to avoid this bias can play a role in boosting your mental well-being.
A. It refers to seeing things in a new view.
B. It takes more for positive things to be remembered.

D. Thinking repeatedly about the negative can result in a serious loss.

【答案】1 B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。手势在我们的日常交流中已经被广泛使用。它们通过补充单词有时遗漏的内容来补充信息。文章介绍了一些流行手势背后的历史。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据◆Thumbs up and thumbs down部分中的“When a gladiator (角斗士) lost, the crowd would either stick their thumbs out to have him killed or just not make any sign at all. The thumbs up decided the gladiator’s fate (命运). (当一个角斗士输了，观众们要么伸出大拇指想要杀死他，要么根本不做任何手势。竖起的大拇指决定了角斗士的命运)”可推知，“竖起大拇指”在罗马时代意味着角斗士被杀死。故选B。

At Christmas last year, Cathy Wood’s family home in Manchester was disturbingly quiet. Her daughters, 19 and 21, were revising for exams. She says she and her husband “hardly saw anything of them…I was a bit bored.” Bored and frustrated, she bought a 45kg bunch of secondhand clothes, without knowing what she was going to do with it.
Wood, a former teacher of English, has always loved clothes. At university, Wood hung out with the fashion students and sewed her own new romantic outfits. Wood, now 62, enjoyed shopping for vintage (老款) clothing and had even discussed getting a shop with a friend, but the rents put them off. A week or so after the bunch arrived, she booked a stall (货摊) at West Didsbury Makers Market.
Standing at her first market stall was a wholly new experience though. “It was very different from teaching. You need just the right amount of contact with people.” Wood sold four pieces at her first market, which paid for the stall and left a small surplus (盈余). Now, she sometimes returns home with 30 empty coat hangers. But it was the contact with customers and fellow traders that she found most rewarding. “It’s a lovely environment. You chat and get to know each other. I really enjoyed it.” she says.
Sometimes, in quiet moments on the stall, she takes out her mending and thinks of her mother and grandmother. “My grandmother taught art and crafts, and both she and my mother spent a lot of time with the sewing machine, teaching me to sew,” “What these clothes do is transport me back to different times when things were easier for me. They give me a pleasurable feeling. Nostalgia (怀旧) can be a good thing in that way.”
After she stopped teaching, she “started to feel like a non person”, she says. The market stall “has given me status in my own mind to be part of the community, contributing something, to be somebody people talk to, somebody people smile at.”
4. Why did Wood sell secondhand clothes
A. To keep her friend company.
B. To pick up her sewing skills.
C. To kill her boring life.
D. To pay her daughter’s schooling fees.
5. What does Wood find most rewarding in her business
A. The money earned from the business.
B. The communication with other people.
C. The competition with different traders.
D. The environment of the market stall.
6. What does the underlined word “They” in Para.4 refer to
A. Her grandmother and mother. B. Art and crafts.
C. The secondhand clothes. D. The good old days.
7. What does Wood say concerning her secondhand clothes business
A. It has made her a worthy person.
B. It has improved her marketing skills.
C. It has helped her to be a funny person.
D. It has made her community much richer.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Bored and frustrated, she bought a 45kg bunch of secondhand clothes, without knowing what she was going to do with it.(感觉无聊和沮丧，她买了一堆45公斤重的二手衣服，不知道该怎么办)”以及第二段“Wood, a former teacher of English, has always loved clothes.(伍德曾是一名英语老师，她一直很喜欢衣服)”可知，伍德之前是一位英语老师，一直喜欢衣服，退休后感到无聊和沮丧，所以，买了一堆45公斤重的二手衣服，开始卖二手衣服，由此可知，伍德卖二手衣服是因为她想打发无聊的退休生活。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But it was the contact with customers and fellow traders that she found most rewarding.(但她发现与客户和同行的接触是最大的收获)”可知，伍德认为自己做生意最有收获的是与客户和同行的接触，即与他人的沟通。故选B项。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The market stall “has given me status in my own mind to be part of the community, contributing something, to be somebody people talk to, somebody people smile at.”(市场摊位“让我在自己心目中成为社区的一员，做出一些贡献，成为人们交谈的对象，成为人们微笑的对象。”)”可知，二手衣服生意让伍德重新找到了自我价值，让她感觉自己成为了社区的一员并能贡献一些东西，得到人们的关注；由此推知，伍德认为二手衣服生意使得她成为了一个有价值的人。故选A项。
C
Hundreds of new drivers have been given bans (禁令) for using their mobile phones at the wheel, as part of stricter new laws introduced. In March, the punishment for driving while on the phone was doubled to six points — meaning drivers with less than two years’ experience faced a ban.
New laws meant the punishment for being caught on a mobile phone at the wheel was increased to six points. The new rules were introduced in England, Scotland and Wales. Drivers who get six points within two years of passing their test will lose their licence, creating a one-strike rule for mobile phone users. To get back behind the wheel, new drivers have to retake both the theory and practical parts of the driving test.
Mr Williams in the RAC said, “These people have spent hours and hours and hundreds of pounds learning to drive to gain their personal freedom only to throw it all away through this foolish behaviour. The only comfort is that they won’t be drawn into some terrible crashes caused by the distraction (使人分心的事物) of a hand-held mobile phone.”
When the new laws were introduced, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said they would act as a strong warning to mobile phone users. However, the numbers suggested a total of 15,752 drivers received the punishment of six points for using a mobile phone between March and August. This is an increase from 15, 237 drivers in the same period of last year.
National Police Chiefs’ Council Lead on roads Policing, Chief Constable Anthony Bangham, said the police took the offence (违法行为) seriously. “This is not a small offence and is never a risk worth taking because a moment’s distraction behind the wheel can change lives forever.” “Our message is simple — don’t do it,” he added.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph1
A. The new laws have not been passed.
B. The new laws are not strict enough.
C. Drivers with less than two years’ experience won’t be affected.
D. Punishment for driving while phoning used to be three points.
9. What will happen if a Welsh citizen who got a licence last year gets six points
A. He will be fined a lot.
B He must learn the new rules.
C. He will lose his driving licence.
D. He will be given a warning.
10. When the new laws were first introduced, _________.
A. traffic accidents were cut down
B. there were still many drivers who broke them
C. drivers thought the laws were unfair to them
D. fewer people broke them compared
11. What does Anthony Bangham mean
A. The police didn’t take the new rules seriously.
B. The roads policy should be improved for safety.
C. A moment of carelessness may cause big accidents.
D. The laws need to be improved a lot and retested.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C

【分析】本文是新闻报道，主要介绍了对于开车时使用手机的司机进行处罚的新法律。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“driving while on the phone was doubled to six points” 开车时打电话的扣分翻倍至6分。可知，对于开车打电话，之前的处罚是扣三分。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Drivers who get six points within two years of passing their test will lose their license”拿到驾驶证两年内的驾驶员如果被扣6分，那么他的驾驶证将会被作废。可知，去年拿到驾照的威尔士人扣掉6分的话，他将被吊销他的驾驶证，故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the numbers suggested a total of 15,752 drivers received the punishment of six points for using a mobile phone between March and August. This is an increase from 15,237 drivers in the same period of last year.” 数据显示，今年3月至8月期间，共有15752名司机因使用手机被罚6分。这比去年同期的15237名司机有所增加。可知，新的法律通过之后，与去年同期相比，3月份到8月份开车打电话的司机增加了，说明仍然有很多司机违反法律。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is not a small offence and is never a risk worth taking because a moment’s distraction behind the wheel can change lives forever.” “Our message is simple — don’t do it,” he added.” 这不是一个小的冒犯，也不值得冒这样的风险，因为开车时的片刻分心可能会永远改变生活。“我们要传达的信息很简单——不要这样做，”他补充道。可知，最后一段中Anthony Bangham提到不要违反开车打电话的禁令，因为一时的粗心大意可能会引起大事故。故选C项。
D
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data-some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they have learned in the science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned(随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit-about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in a traditional class performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started off in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques(技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
12. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To see if art might improve science learning
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
13. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Take two types of classes. B. Learn three units in total.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they’d like to learn.
14. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Finish. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Memorize.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Art helps students develop creativity.
B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.
C. Art can make science easier to remember.
D. Art has something in common with science.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究表明艺术可以帮助学生更好地记忆科学课上学习的东西。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.(更重要的是，当他们的科学课涉及艺术时，学生们似乎更记得他们被教授的东西。为了证明这一点，Hardiman与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作。)”可知，Mariale Hardiman做这项研究是为了证明艺术是否能够提高科学学习。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes. (通过这种方式，每个学生都有一个以艺术为重点的课程和一个传统的课程。每个单元都以两种方式教授给不同的学生群体。这使研究人员能够看到学生在这两种类型的课堂上的表现。)”可知，学生在实验中被要求上两种不同类型的课。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.(更重要的是，当他们的科学课涉及艺术时，学生们似乎更记得他们被教授的东西。为了证明这一点，Hardiman与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作。)”可知，这个研究是为了找到艺术和记忆科学知识之间的关系，所以研究的结论应与记忆有关，结合划线句上文“ Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. (课堂教师报告说，许多学生在完成本单元后继续唱他们学过的歌曲。)”可推断，此处表达的是“我们听某个事情越多，我们保留的也越多”。retain在这里与memorize(记忆)意思最接近。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they have learned in the science class.(现在，一项研究发现，艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。)”引出本文话题：艺术可以帮助学生更好地记忆科学课上学习的东西。最后一句“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.(这表明艺术可以帮助学生运用创造性的学习方法。)”总结前文，由此可推测出，C项“艺术让科学更容易记忆”最符合文章主旨。故选C。
第二节： 七选五 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How you talk to yourself about events, experiences and people plays a large role in shaping how you interpret events. When you find yourself interpreting something in a negative way or only focusing on the bad aspect of the situation, look for ways to talk about the events in a more positive light. ___16___ Instead, it simply means refocusing so that you give fair and equal importance to good events.
When you find yourself worrying about things, look for an uplifting activity to pull yourself out of this negative mindset(心态) ____17____ In this case, try to turn your attention elsewhere and engage in an activity that brings you joy. Listening to cheerful music, going for a walk, and reading a good book are all ways to get your mind off negative thoughts.
___18___ Therefore, it is important to give extra attention to good things that happen. Where negative things might be quickly transferred and stored in your long-term memory, you need to make more efforts to get the same effect from happy moments. ___19___Replay the moment several times in your memory and focus on the wonderful feelings the memory inspires.
The negativity bias (偏见) can have a powerful impact on your behavior, but being aware of it means you can take steps to adopt a more positive outlook on life. One of the best ways to combat negative bias is taking a more mindful approach involving being aware of your own tendency toward negativity and consciously elevating (使情绪高昂) happier thoughts to the forefront of awareness. ____20____Taking steps to avoid this bias can play a role in boosting your mental well-being.
A. It refers to seeing things in a new view.
B. It takes more for positive things to be remembered.
C. You probably don’t realize how often you say negative things.
D. Thinking repeatedly about the negative can result in a serious loss.
E. So when something great happens, take a moment to really focus on it.
F This doesn’t mean ignoring potential dangers or wearing rose-colored glasses.
G. For example, you may find yourself mentally reviewing an unpleasant event or outcome.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们以不同的心态看待问题，得到的结果是不同的。当我们意识到自己消极一面时，我们要用乐观的心态去面对它，并告诉读者一些方法。
【16题详解】
由空格上一句“When you find yourself interpreting something in a negative way or only focusing on the bad aspect of the situation, look for ways to talk about the events in a more positive light.(当你发现自己在以消极的方式解释某件事，或者只专注于情况的不好的方面时，就要找些更积极的方式来谈论这些事情)”和下一句“Instead, it simply means refocusing so that you give fair and equal importance to good events.(然而，它仅仅意味着重新集中注意力，这样你就可以公平地、同等地重视好的事件)”可知，找更积极的方式来谈论事情，并不意味着忽视潜在的危险或逃避不好的事情，反而你能公平地、同等地重视好的事件。F选项“This doesn’t mean ignoring potential dangers or wearing rose-colored glasses(这并不意味着忽视潜在的危险或过于乐观)”承接上文找到更加积极地来谈论事情，同时也引出下文。故选F项。
【17题详解】
由空格上一句“When you find yourself worrying about things, look for an uplifting activity to pull yourself out of this negative mindset(当你发现自己在为事情担忧时，找一个振奋人心的活动来把自己从这种消极的心态中拉出来)”和下一句“In this case, try to turn your attention elsewhere and engage in an activity that brings you joy.(有意识地把注意力转移到别处，参与一项能给你带来快乐的活动)”可知，本空是举例说明当你发现自己在为事情担忧时，可以转移注意力，参加快乐的活动帮自己从消极心态中走出来。G选项“For example, you may find yourself mentally reviewing an unpleasant event or outcome(例如，如果你发现自己在心里回顾一件不愉快的事情或结果)”就是对上文当你发现自己在为事情担忧这一情况的所举的例子。故选G项。
【18题详解】
由空格后一句“Therefore, it is important to give extra attention to good things that happen.(因此，对发生的好事给予格外的关注是很重要的)”可知，上下两句是因果关系，因为积极的经历需要更多的记忆，所以要格外关注要发生的好事。B选项“It takes more for positive things to be remembered(因为积极的经历需要更多的记忆)”与下文构成因果关系。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据本段主旨句“Therefore, it is important to give extra attention to good things that happen.(因此，对发生的好事给予格外的关注是很重要的)”可知，当大事发生时，你需要对其进行特别的关注，也就是花时间关注与它。故E项“So when something great happens, take a moment to really focus on it(所以，当大事发生时，花点时间真正专注于它)”呼应本段的主旨句。故此题选E。
【20题详解】
由上一句“One of the best ways to combat negative bias is taking a more mindful approach involving being aware of your own tendency toward negativity and consciously elevating happier thoughts to the forefront of awareness.(对抗消极偏见的最好方法之一是采取一种更为专注的方法，包括意识到自己的消极倾向，并有意识地将快乐的想法提升到意识的最前沿)”和下一句“Taking steps to avoid this bias can play a role in boosting your mental well-being(采取措施克服这种偏见，可以在提升你的心理健康方面发挥作用)”可知，对抗消极偏见的最好方法之一是用快乐抵抗消极想法。因为一直专注于消极因素会导致不好的影响，所以这种用快乐抵抗消极的方法有助于提高心理健康水平。D选项“Thinking repeatedly about the negative can result in a serious loss(反复思考消极因素会导致严重的损失)”就是在讲反复地消极思考会造成严重的影响，同时引出下文需要采取措施来避免这一现象。故选D项。
