03 易错题通关
易错陷阱1：段落标题类易混易错点。
【分析】
应当首先观察其他段落标题的句式结构，如果有相同结构，则可迅速缩小选择范围。标题应当短小精悍，多为名词词组、动名词或祈使句。
易错陷阱2：段首句易混易错点。
【分析】 段首句一般考查文章或段落的主题。首先应当采取形似原则，观察与其他段落首句是否出现相同结构，一般考查祈使句的相同结构居多。其次应当研读上一段的内容，尤其是上一段结尾的内容，结合本段内容，看选项是否符合逻辑上的紧密衔接。
易错陷阱3：段中句易混易错点。
【分析】如果设空在段中，则首先关注选项中的人称代词如，they, he, it等和空格后面的这些人称代词。同时注重瞻前顾后，看前后是否存在例证关系、因果关系、转折关系、递进关系等。如果考查段落间的过渡句，则可以结合词汇复现原则看是否对上句有补充说明同时和后句有正确的逻辑关系。此类考题考生多数只看前句，不看后句。
易错陷阱4：段尾句易混易错点。
【分析】段尾句通常具有结论性和概括性，应当注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等的信息词。有时，段尾句和段首句呈现出首尾呼应的现象，也是检查选项的一个重要参考。

What you’re expressing through your body language is as important as what you say. It’s about looking in someone’s eyes, smiling and nodding. Showing with your face that you’re following what someone is saying is really important. This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat. Remember that looking into your laptop camera is like making eye contact, while breaking it to look downward makes it appear that you’re doing something else.
19 “People can be considered as poor listeners when they don’t understand what the conversation is actually about on a high level.” Dr. Bobby says. Sometimes, people simply want to talk about an unhappy situation. Maybe they’re really just wanting to express their bad feelings, or talk about their day. So don’t try to give suggestions; just listen instead.
A．Listening requires looking at problems from other’s view.
B．In fact, people only want to get to know more about others.
C．This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat.
D．Sometimes, people simply want to talk about an unhappy situation.
E．This is something you can do to show that you’re really listening.
F．Being a bad listener can break that person’s trust in your relationship.
G．Listening doesn’t always require offering solutions — quite the opposite, in fact.

The Upside to Being Outside
Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they’re roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a while. One study was conducted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Researchers found that most participants’ mood and well-being improved significantly when they spent time in urban parks, even though the average visit was only around half an hour.
16 For example, scientists in the United Kingdom studied the impact of the “30 Days Wild” campaign. It challenged people to interact with nature for 30 days by enjoying earthy activities like feeding birds and planting flowers. Participants were measurably happier and healthier throughout the challenge…and for months afterwards, too.
A．One study revealed that people were better at figuring out puzzles after a four-day camping trip.
B．According to many scientific studies, there’s a good chance it’ll make you happier, healthier, and more creative.
C．What’s more, the lift people get from nature is long lasting.
D．Lots of people enjoy fun activities outside, like swimming, riding bikes, or climbing trees.
E．When the only light you’ve seen all day is the glow of a screen, it might be a good idea to switch it off.
F．This means that whether you’re studying or playing video games, heading outside to give your brain a break might help you get to the next level.
G．So, kicking back in a park is a bit like treating your mind to a restful mini vacation.
【答案】C
【解析】根据空后的For example可知，空后内容是对该空的举例说明，所以该空为本段的主题句，根据空处所在段落的尾句“Participants were measurably happier and healthier throughout the challenge…and for months afterwards, too. (在整个挑战过程中，参与者都更快乐、更健康……之后的几个月也是如此。)”可知，该段讲述的是在户外活动给参与者带来的快乐会持续很久，C选项“What’s more, the lift people get from nature is long lasting. (更重要的是，人们从大自然中获得的提升是持久的。)”表述的内容与举例说明中的内容一致，符合语境。故选C项。

Work from Anywhere Movement
For a lot of us, working from wherever we wanted was a bit of a dream. It would mean we’d be able to visit family and not take holiday days. But suddenly that “dream” of not working in the office became a reality for many. Working from home over the last years has proven that it isn’t always necessary for teams to physically be together and there is more flexibility. There are a lot of benefits for companies and workers.
An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs. With a widespread workforce, there’s no need to have an office big enough for everyone. They also save on travel costs, as meetings that once “needed” to be done face-to-face can now be done online. 37 With the work from anywhere movement, employers can hire global talents. They’re not restricted to people living nearby.
A．But it’s not only about money.
B．However, every coin has two sides.
C．It decreases stress and other concerns.
D．Your time is spent on the things that matter.
E．There are a lot of benefits for companies and workers.
F．Offering remote job positions makes a company more competitive.
G．Offices are increasingly where you go to put the company into company.
易错分析：1.未注重段落主旨句的理解。段中句对首句进行承接。2.设空处对上句之间有转折关系。
【答案】A
【解析】根据本段首句“An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs. (对许多雇主来说, 一个明显的好处是降低成本)”说明的是好处不仅仅在钱方面，对于公司招揽人才也是有利的，本段主旨是降低开销，因此A项“但这不仅仅是钱的问题。”符合语境，故选A。

To fully appreciate Australian cuisine, you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography. For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. 16. It is no wonder that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood.
One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. 17 As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. 18 Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.
But then, how is all this food cooked Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. 19 It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill.

Diving made my world bigger. 16. I didn’t take to diving immediately. It took me three years and three tries to get certified, but I’m glad I persisted.
Learning to dive is a lot like learning to drive a car: You study the theory, practice with an instructor, and become qualified. From there, proficiency (熟练) depends on how often you dive, further training, and your own self-reliance. Regardless of your goals, diving is more accessible and wondrous than I ever imagined. 17
But not everyone wants to or can dive, and that’s fair enough. Whether you’re a snorkeler (潜水员), surfer, or sailor or you simply enjoy dipping your toes into the sea while on holiday, you can still be aware of the life unfolding under that glittering blue cover and help protect it.
......
A．Knowledge is power.
B．I didn’t take to diving immediately.
C．So I’d encourage anyone to give it a try.
D．Adventure sometimes involves pushing limits.
E．Marine life needs a safe ecological environment.

【解析】根据空前的“When social media filled with images makes you question your appearance, opinions or ability, for it’s so easy for people to get caught in a whirlwind (旋流) of comparison, remember to look up and out and appreciate there’s a world of beauty in difference.(当充斥着图片的社交媒体让你质疑自己的外表、观点或能力时，因为人们很容易陷入比较的旋风中，记得抬头看看外面，欣赏这个不同的世界。)”可知，因为人们很容易陷入比较的麻烦中，所以让很多人质疑自己，结合下文中的“Dare not to compare.(敢于不作比较。)”等四个方法，可知，此空应是承上启下的作用，D选项“Turn over for four ways to get rid of the troublesome comparison.(转向四种方法来摆脱麻烦的比较。)”讲述的内容与空前的内容一致，且引出下文中的摆脱比较带来的麻烦的四种方法，起到了承上启下的作用。故选D项。

3.（2023年浙江卷1月）
With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 36 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 37 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 38 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 39 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. 40 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph.
A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types.
B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train.
C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control.
D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months.
E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one.
F．Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom.
G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner.
【答案】36．D 37．G 38．C 39．E 40．A
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一些关于如何使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。
根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.(提前计划。大多数长途火车，尤其是卧铺，很快就卖光了。)”以及下文“But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. (但无论你什么时候去旅行，最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完，所以要提前安排预定，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境，D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。
根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. (这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上穿过几节车厢了。)”可知，好的旅行社帮你预定，不仅可以找到打折的票，还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离，G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与前后文对应，因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。
根据上文“When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one.(当你乘坐火车时，你不会免费获得一条毯子，即使你的旅行是过夜的。)”以及下文“In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. (特别是在夏天，空调会让他们很冷。)”可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与前后文对应，因此推断C项“列车上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。
根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟，有些火车一周只开三趟，所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间，不是到达时间。)”可知，本段提醒要提前安排时间，错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。
40．根据上文“Have fun.(玩得开心)”以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts).”(要计算你的速度，用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。)”可知，本段讲述如何度过乘车时间，A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人与后文要计算时间，用不同的方式打发时间对应，符合语境。故选A项。

5.（2023·云南昆明·高三统考期中）
Birthdays are supposed to be happy occasions where celebrations, being spoiled and positive reflection are all part of the day. Unfortunately, feeling depressed about an approaching birthday, as a person ages, is common. The following may help fight off Birthday Blues.
·Find the best way to celebrate
11 If someone loves luxurious celebrations, then they should try to have that sort of a day. If they prefer quality time with family, then they could make arrangements. On the other hand, doing something on their birthday that they do not enjoy, will make it harder for them to have a good time.
·Keep busy
If the Birthday Blues threaten to have a negative impact on someone, it may be better to avoid the day altogether. 12 Do something else. Negative thoughts can be easily forgotten so a person can move on with their life.
· 13
It is OK to be sad sometimes, but drowning in sadness all day is unhelpful for anyone struggling with negative emotions. For those who always get the Birthday Blues, it might be a good idea just to accept that they might feel sad and anxious. 14 Acknowledge them, and then put them to one side and get on with the day in a more positive frame of mind.
·Do something special
However much people hate or fear their birthday, they can make it better if they plan something for that day that cannot fail to bring them excitement. They may think about booking to see a show, getting a spa, or going out for dinner. 15
A．Set a sadness time limit.
B．Turn the sadness into a helpful experience.
C．Allow those feelings to come into their mind.
D．Removing negative thoughts finally pays off.
E．Keeping distracted will ensure the day passes quickly.
F．Birthdays are days when it is acceptable to be a bit selfish.
G．Whatever is likely to lift their spirits may help them feel better.
【答案】11．F 12．E 13．A 14．C 15．G
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了帮助你战胜生日忧郁的方法。
11．分析设空位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“If someone loves luxurious celebrations, then they should try to have that sort of a day. If they prefer quality time with family, then they could make arrangements.(如果有人喜欢奢华的庆祝活动，那么他们应该试着过这样的一天。如果他们更喜欢与家人共度美好时光，那么他们可以做出安排)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们可以按照自己喜欢的方式去庆祝生日，所以F项“Birthdays are days when it is acceptable to be a bit selfish. (生日是可以允许有点自私的日子)”符合文意，为本段中心句。故选F项。
12．根据前文“If the Birthday Blues threaten to have a negative impact on someone, it may be better to avoid the day altogether. (如果“生日忧郁”可能会对某人产生负面影响，那么最好完全避开这一天)”以及后文“Do something else. Negative thoughts can be easily forgotten so a person can move on with their life.(做点别的事情。消极的想法很容易被忘记，这样人们就可以继续他们的生活)”可知，空处应是过渡句，从提议避开这一天搭配提出做点别的事情，所以E项“Keeping distracted will ensure the day passes quickly. (保持注意力分散会让时间过得很快)”符合文意，起到过渡作用，引出下文。故选E项。
13．分析设空，应是本段小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据下文“It is OK to be sad sometimes, but drowning in sadness all day is unhelpful for anyone struggling with negative emotions. (有时悲伤是可以的，但是整天沉浸在悲伤中对任何与消极情绪斗争的人都没有帮助)”可知，本段主要讲述了悲伤可以，但是不能沉浸在悲伤中无法自拔，所以A项“Set a sadness time limit. (设定悲伤的时间限制)”是本段的标题。故选A项。
14．根据前文“For those who always get the Birthday Blues, it might be a good idea just to accept that they might feel sad and anxious. (对于那些总是患有生日忧郁的人来说，接受他们可能会感到悲伤和焦虑的事实可能是个好主意)”以及后文“Acknowledge them, and then put them to one side and get on with the day in a more positive frame of mind. (承认它们，然后把它们放在一边，以一种更积极的心态开始新的一天)”可知，此处是讲述，正面面对让他们可能会感到悲伤和焦虑的事实，试着去接受他们，所以C项“Allow those feelings to come into their mind. (让这些感觉进入他们的脑海)”符合此处主题。故选C项。
15．分析设空，位于段尾，是本段的总结句，根据前文“However much people hate or fear their birthday, they can make it better if they plan something for that day that cannot fail to bring them excitement. They may think about booking to see a show, getting a spa, or going out for dinner. (无论人们多么讨厌或害怕他们的生日，如果他们为那天计划一些能给他们带来兴奋的事情，他们可以让它变得更好。他们可能会考虑预约看一场演出，做个水疗，或者出去吃顿饭)”可知，本段主要讲述做一些让自己兴奋的事，所以G项“Whatever is likely to lift their spirits may help them feel better. (任何可能振奋他们精神的事情都可能帮助他们感觉更好)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结。故选G项。

How to Turn Your Dreams into a Reality
Do you have dreams, visions or plans about things you’d love to have or achieve Of course you do! We all do. Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part. 31 The good news is that there are proven techniques that can get you from where you are to where you want to be. Follow this process to bring your dreams to fruition (实现):
Turn your dream into a goal.
When you have a goal, you have a true target. For a greater chance of success, your plan should have a deadline and it must be measurable. 32 Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. Make your goal as desirable as possible without being unrealistic. If you feel that your goal is unreasonable, it’s much more difficult to encourage yourself to actually pursue it.
Prioritize (优先化) your goal daily.
33 You give instructions to your brain thousands of times a day. Let your mind know that your goal is something more important than “I feel like eating a ham sandwich” or “I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home”.
34
Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. 35 You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.
A．Read and write your goal each day.
B．Make a list of negative associations.
C．Classify (将……分类) your available resources.
D．Tracking is critical to making continued progress.
E．Turning those dreams into a reality is the challenge.
F．It has been said that dreams are goals without a deadline.
G．So make a list of all the negative stuff that slip into your mind.
【答案】31．E 32．F 33．A 34．C 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。每个人都有自己的梦想，那么怎么能把梦想变为现实呢？本文提出了一些可行性建议。
31．上文“Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part. (不幸的是，有梦想是一件轻松的事情)”说明有梦想是件容易的事。空处和前文为转折关系，并且引出下文。E项中的challenge和前文中的easy是相反的意思，说明有梦想容易，但是把梦想转变成现实是一个挑战。故选E。
32．下文“Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. (给你自己设定一个梦想实现的截止日期，然后事情就会逐渐开始进行)”说明给梦想设置截止日期，那么梦想就会慢慢实现。空处呼应本段标题，引出下文。F项中的goals和本段主题相呼应，“without a deadline”和下文中的“setting a deadline”相呼应，表明有人认为梦想就是没有最后期限的目标，但实际上我们要给它设定一个截止日期。故选F。
33．小标题“Prioritize your goal daily (每天优先考虑你的目标)”说明本段主要给出了每天优先考虑你的目标的建议。空处进一步说明怎样优先考虑你的目标。A项“每天读写你的目标”符合语境。故选A。
34．下文“Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.(看看你列出的清单，看看你生活中已经有什么可以帮助你走上正轨)”说明本段建议把可利用的资源列成目录分类，然后看在你生活中所能帮助你的那些资源。C项“对可用资源进行分类。”适合作本段的主旨句。故选C。
35．小标题“Track your progress.(跟踪你的进度)”以及空前“Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. (衡量你每天的进步。使用老式的纸和铅笔，或者使用最新的智能手机应用程序)”说明本段所给建议为每天都追踪你的进度。空处表明这种方法的重要性。D项中的Tracking 和主旨句相呼应，说明追踪对于取得持续进展至关重要。故选D。

That means it should be reasonably slow, and with real words sung clearly. Some pop songs are very unclear and are difficult even for native English-speakers to understand fully!

42．空前“Two major international networks are the BBC World Service and Voice of America. (两个主要的国际广播是BBC和VOA)”提及到了两个主要的国际广播，选项E“Both of them have special programmes for learners of English (这两个广播都有专门为英语学习者设置的节目)”中的Both of them呼应上文的BBC和VOA，承接上文。故选E。
43．该空位于小标题的位置，根据其他段落的小标题可知，为祈使句。根据第三段内容“It is now a lot easier to hear English by Internet, If you’re reading this on your computer or mobile device, you can probably listen to some English-language radio news right now, without even moving! (现在通过互联网听英语要容易得多，如果你正在电脑前阅读此文，那么你可以不挪窝就立刻听到英语广播新闻！)”可知，本段着重强调通过互联网的方式听英语，所以A选项“Watch/Listen to English by Internet (通过互联网看或听英语)”符合本段标题。故选A。

Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 16
Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.
Live by your beliefs and values.
People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 17 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.
Follow your passion.
People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 18 ”
Feel content.
People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 19 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”
20
People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.
Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.
A．Make a difference.
B．It’s the purpose of life.
C．Put others before yourself.
D．So they live with certain moral principles.
E．The secret of success is constancy to purpose.
F．Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.
G．To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.
【答案】16．B 17．D 18．F 19．G 20．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍如何成为一个生活有目标的人，使人生更有意义。
16．上文“Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more.(有些人以积累的财富或取得的地位来衡量成功。然而，即使他们已经取得了超乎想象的成功，他们仍然觉得生活中缺少了一些东西。他们的灵魂可能在寻找更多的东西。)”指出，以积累的财富或取得的地位来衡量人的成功，即使取得了超乎想象的成功，他们的灵魂可能在寻找更多的东西；由下文“Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.(尽管每个人都是不同的，但有一些共同的线索是将生活与目标联系在一起。)”可知，作者认为成功应该将生活与目标联系在一起；由此可知，B选项“It’s the purpose of life.(它就是生活的目的性。)”说明即使以积累的财富或取得的地位来衡量成功人取得成功，他们的灵魂可能在寻找更多的东西，这就是生活的目的性，符合语境，选项中的“It”指代上文中的“something more”。故选B。
17．上文“People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue.(过着有目标的生活的人有核心信念和价值观，这些信念和价值观会影响他们的决定，塑造他们的日常行动，并决定他们的优先事项。他们非常重视做一个有美德的人。)”指出，过一种有目标的生活、能坚守自己价值和信念的人非常重视做一个有美德的人；D选项“So they live with certain moral principles.(所以他们有一定的道德准则。)”与上文构成因果关系，说明做一个有美德的人有一定的道德准则，符合语境；选项中的“they”与上文“They”所指代的人一致。故选D。
18．由小标题“Follow your passion.(追随你的热情。)”以及上文“People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, (生活有目标的人每天早上醒来都渴望面对新的一天。他们热情地追求自己的梦想，全身心地投入到他们所做的每一件事中，并且觉得他们个人正在做出改变。)”可知，作者认为应该追随自己的梦想，并引用James Dean的话来印证自己的观点；F选项“Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.(像你永远活着那样去追求梦想，也像今天七选五

What you’re expressing through your body language is as important as what you say. It’s about looking in someone’s eyes, smiling and nodding. Showing with your face that you’re following what someone is saying is really important. This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat.

19 “People can be considered as poor listeners when they don’t understand what the conversation is actually about on a high level.” Dr. Bobby says.

The Upside to Being Outside
Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they’re roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a while. One study was conducted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama.

16 For example, scientists in the United Kingdom studied the impact of the “30 Days Wild” campaign. It challenged people to interact with nature for 30 days by enjoying earthy activities like feeding birds and planting flowers. Participants were measurably happier and healthier throughout the challenge…and for months afterwards, too.

Work from Anywhere Movement
For a lot of us, working from wherever we wanted was a bit of a dream. It would mean we’d be able to visit family and not take holiday days. But suddenly that “dream” of not working in the office became a reality for many. Working from home over the last years has proven that it isn’t always necessary for teams to physically be together and there is more flexibility. There are a lot of benefits for companies and workers.
An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs. With a widespread workforce, there’s no need to have an office big enough for everyone. They also save on travel costs, as meetings that once “needed” to be done face-to-face can now be done online. 37 With the work from anywhere movement, employers can hire global talents. They’re not restricted to people living nearby.

To fully appreciate Australian cuisine, you have to consider the unique nature of its wildlife and geography. For one thing, there are the wide plains in the interior of the country, which are home to millions of grazing animals. For another, there is Australia’s long coastline, which is next to all the riches of the sea. 16. It is no wonder that much of Australian cuisine centres around red meat and seafood.
One of the most popular red meats in Australia is also unique to the continent: kangaroo. This may seem strange as the kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia. However, in recent years, kangaroos have increased in number to around 45 million. These kangaroos wander onto the roads and into cities, making trouble. 17 As a consequence, the government is encouraging people to use these animals as food, and kangaroo has become one of the most popular items on the Australian dinner table. As for seafood, many of the first Europeans who came to Australia loved the sea. 18 Since the coastline is so long, each region has its own dishes that are related to the seafood found in its waters.
But then, how is all this food cooked Perhaps the favourite way of cooking food in Australia is the barbecue. 19 It is a time for friends and relatives to get together and have fun. Even strangers passing through will be offered a seat, a cold drink, and something off the grill.

Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 36 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 37 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 38 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 39 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. 40 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph.
A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types.
B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train.
C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control.
D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months.
E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one.
F．Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom.
G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner.

Birthdays are supposed to be happy occasions where celebrations, being spoiled and positive reflection are all part of the day. Unfortunately, feeling depressed about an approaching birthday, as a person ages, is common. The following may help fight off Birthday Blues.
·Find the best way to celebrate
11 If someone loves luxurious celebrations, then they should try to have that sort of a day. If they prefer quality time with family, then they could make arrangements. On the other hand, doing something on their birthday that they do not enjoy, will make it harder for them to have a good time.
·Keep busy
If the Birthday Blues threaten to have a negative impact on someone, it may be better to avoid the day altogether. 12 Do something else. Negative thoughts can be easily forgotten so a person can move on with their life.

How to Turn Your Dreams into a Reality
Do you have dreams, visions or plans about things you’d love to have or achieve Of course you do! We all do. Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part. 31 The good news is that there are proven techniques that can get you from where you are to where you want to be.

For a greater chance of success, your plan should have a deadline and it must be measurable. 32 Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. Make your goal as desirable as possible without being unrealistic. If you feel that your goal is unreasonable, it’s much more difficult to encourage yourself to actually pursue it.
Prioritize (优先化) your goal daily.
33 You give instructions to your brain thousands of times a day. Let your mind know that your goal is something more important than “I feel like eating a ham sandwich” or “I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home”.
34
Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. 35 You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.
A．Read and write your goal each day.
B．Make a list of negative associations.
C．Classify (将……分类) your available resources.
D．Tracking is critical to making continued progress.
E．Turning those dreams into a reality is the challenge.

Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 16
Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.
Live by your beliefs and values.
People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 17 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.
Follow your passion.
People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 18 ”
Feel content.
People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 19 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”
20
People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.
Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.
A．Make a difference.
B．It’s the purpose of life.
C．Put others before yourself.
D．So they live with certain moral principles.
E．The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

Before you go on your next two-wheeled adventure, make sure you’re familiar with the ins and outs of bicycle safety. This holds true whether you’re riding a traditional bike or an e-bike — one powered by an electric motor in addition to your pedaling.
Many of the safety recommendations are the same for both types of bikes. Wear a helmet. 36 Make sure you’re visible to motorists (some e-bikes now come with lights). Know how to use your arm to signal turns (left: extend your left arm out to the side; right: extend your right arm or bend your left arm up at a right angle). Don’t talk on the phone, text, or listen to music. 37
Be sure your e-bike is ready to ride. That starts with checking that the tires are inflated and the brakes are working properly. If the bicycle hasn’t been used for a while, take it for a tune-up before you take it for a ride. 38 And before and after every ride, inspect your bicycle for damage.
39 This is also important for e-bike riders. “With the ability to go faster comes the responsibility to know when you should slow down,” says Ash Lovell, electric bicycle policy director at People for Bikes, a cyclist advocacy organization.
Know the rules of the road. “When you’re riding in the street, even in a protected bike lane, read the signals, pay attention to the lane markings, and check the signage to see where e-bikes are allowed,” Lovell says. 40 Signs in those states may specify which types of bikes are allowed on which roads and paths. Check the People for Bikes website (peopleforbikes.org) for more information.
A．Do not ride on the left.
B．Be aware of your speed.
C．And if you’re an e-bike rider, take notice of the following tips.
D．Remember to replace batteries on a regular basis.
E．Ride with the flow of traffic rather than against it.
F．For an e-bike, also make sure your battery is charged.
G．Thirty-six states have adopted a classification system for e-bikes.

How to make a cooking video on TikTok
You may think sharing your cooking videos on TikTok isn’t a big deal. 36 We’ve asked some experts for tips on how to film, edit and post cooking videos on TikTok.
Keep it simple
“Simplicity is key when creating food content on TikTok,” says MacKenzie Smith, creator of Grilled Cheese Social. 37 “My Baked Feta Pasta that went viral (走红) earlier this year is a good example of how simple food trends can take over the social landscape,” says Smith.
Show off kitchen skills
38 Film something you do special or share a helpful tip some viewers may not know. Smith, who’s partnering the National Mango Board, says she’s been starting all her videos for the campaign with a demonstration of the best mango cutting technique.
Film from different angles
If you have two smartphones or cameras, try setting them up on tripods (三脚架) at different angles, so you can edit with a diversity of different shots, both overhead and from another good point. Only have one device No worries. 39
Break the rules
Just like cooking, the rules of TikTok are meant to be broken. So if you want your viewers to keep coming back to your videos, never be afraid of trying creative ideas. 40 Make what you want to make. Who knows what will become a trend, and what was a waste of your time

There’s no need to be ashamed about dozing off in class. It is actually a natural phenomenon. Studies have shown that people can only stay completely focused on something for a maximum of 10 minutes. 16 Dozing off during an important activity or event on a regular basis can develop into a habit that you might carry into other areas of your life.
Scientists have found that avoiding overeating before class is one of the most effective ways to beat class sleepiness. Most people have experienced “food coma (昏迷)” after eating a large meal. Eating too much results in a feeling of heaviness that uses up your energy. This happens because the body releases chemicals that signal drowsiness after eating. 17
Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) release more serotonin (血清素) from the brain, which makes you feel good. 18 Basically, not all foods have the same impact on your body. While some foods can increase your energy, others can make you sleepy. Also, tasking your body with digesting a large meal is exhausting. Eating large portions — especially of unhealthy foods — will leave your body with little energy to use elsewhere.
19 This gives your body the opportunity to digest smaller amounts of food at a time, leaving you feeling energized instead of tired after your meals.
Also, avoid heavy foods and choose healthy, balanced meals instead. 20 An example of a well-rounded breakfast to have before class would be a glass of milk, an egg and a salad containing at least three vegetables.
A．Finally, it helps deliver oxygen to your vital organs.
B．However, too much serotonin can lead to drowsiness.
C．Unfortunately, most classes last longer than 10 minutes.
D．Falling asleep in class can cause poor academic performance.
E．A healthy meal should include fruit, vegetables and healthy fats.
F．This is particularly true if you eat a meal that is high in carbohydrates.
G．It is recommended that you keep a stable level of energy by eating smaller meals.

Does the happiness of parents play a role in shaping the overall happiness of their children Scientific studies have shed light on the far-reaching connection between parental happiness and the positive development of kids. It seems that parental happiness has an important influence on the emotional, social, and cognitive (认知的) development of children. 16 If they know their mental and emotional happiness has an impact on their children, perhaps it can motivate them to view it as part of being a good parent.
17 For example, they can join in activities that bring them joy and satisfaction. This could include hobbies, exercise, pursuing personal goals, or taking time for relaxation. When parents improve their own happiness, they can better support their children’s happiness.
Another great idea is sharing experiences and creating many memories together. The idea is twofold. 18 At the same time, the shared experiences and showing their children how happy they are to do something they love can be incredibly valuable as well.
One of the main aspects of being happy parents is feeling comfortable, confident and able to be themselves, despite their new status and huge responsibility. Honestly, when parents prioritize their own happiness, it has positive effects on the overall happiness of the family. 19
When parents put their own happiness first, they become role models for their kids. They see the importance of self-care, pursuing passions and maintaining healthy relationships. 20 So, parents should accept their uniqueness, enjoying life!
A．However, part of being responsible is being honest.
B．They are passing on some major life skills and attitudes.
C．They may lose a bit of their sense of self when caring for children.
D．Parents can adopt practical ways to enhance their own happiness.
E．A joyful and harmonious family environment benefits everyone involved.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. Many straight-A students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their low-scoring classmates. Here are some secrets of the young study champions.
16 .
Top students bear no breaks on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, and snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.
Get organized.
Paul Melendres, a straight-A freshman from New Mexico, keeps two folders — one for the day’s assignments, another for papers completed and graded. 17 . Melendres’ methods have actually proven effective. Even students who don’t have a private study area remain organized to cut down time-wasting searches.
Clean up your act.
Neat papers are likely to get higher grades than sloppy ones. “The student who turns in a neat paper,” says Claude Olney, an Arizona State University business professor, “is already on the way to an A．It’s like being served a cheeseburger. 18 .”
Speak up.
“If I don’t understand what my teacher is explaining, I asked him to repeat it,” says Christopher Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though. 19 . “Better academic grades come from better understanding.” says Campell. “I don’t want to memorize information for tests only.”
Test yourself.
As part of her note-taking, Domenica Roman emphasizes points that she thinks may be covered during exams. 20 . Later she gives herself a written examination before test day. “If I can’t answer the questions satisfactorily, I will go back and review.” she says.
A．Set priorities.
B．Schedule your time.
C．She designs test questions based on them.
D．It’s a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.
E．A bag or drawer keeps essential supplies together.
F．Hard work isn’t the whole story behind their academic grades.
G．You can’t believe it tastes good if it’s presented on a dirty plate.

What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 16 Such people, however, have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 17 Knowing that ‘tomato is a fruit’ is information, and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day to day life. Books and the internet can give you information, but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 18
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weakness while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 19 But videos are made for a general audience. They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom. Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
20 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article, these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A．Wisdom, however, is something that it badly lacks.
B．Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C．Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D．On this point, the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E．Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the internet.
F．Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G．These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.
