What is heritage The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by
families or other groups for many years. 16 It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by
groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible(有形
的), the natural, and the intangible.
17 It can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can
be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage. This can include bodies of water, plant life, landforms and more. One example is the Nile River. 18 Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in
many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can’t feel through touch. Maybe you’ve
read about forms of dance, like Flamenco dancing. You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands or holidays
like Eid. These are all examples of intangible heritage. 19
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself, your family, and your ancestors. But it’s also important to learn about the heritage of others. 20 It can also lead you to find things you may
have in common with others!
A ．They are treasures that can be touched.
B ．What tangible items can be part of heritage
C ．However, heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.
D ．Languages, holidays and customs also make the list.
E ．Therefore, it’s difficult to protect them from fading away.
F ．Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G ．It has been part of cultural heritage in many African nations for centuries.

I was recently in a business meeting, where two managers faced off with their wildly different opinions. But to our surprise, the meeting went remarkably well - and all because one of them simply showed a calm maturity（成
熟） . He kept saying things like, “I absolutely see your point, Jeff,” and “You’re right about that. Could we
consider… ” 16 And things went smoothly. So what are more ways to bring more cool, collected calm
into our life Here are some.
Focus on your own stuff.
It can be so easy to compare ourselves to other people over our paychecks, the contents of our closets,
relationship statuses etc. But when you realize that all that matters is you, you can’t help but just do you.
17
____
Know how to laugh at yourself.
Joan Rivers said, “Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny.” 18 And once you get to
the point where you can laugh at yourself, you can laugh at pretty much anything.
19
I don’t think there is anything more grown-up than taking 100 percent responsibility for your life. No excuses
or exceptions - parental, governmental or otherwise. When you own your circumstances and your “stuff” you’re
empowered.
20 . We can quantify our calm by our ability to “shake it off”. You really can choose to free yourself
from anything: a rude remark, a disrespect from someone you’ve never liked, a passive-aggressive colleague ...
whatever. When you can shake all that off and just focus on the present moment, you kind of have it figured out.
A ．Never react.
B ．Don’t blame others.
C ．Life doesn’t have to be so serious, does it
D ．And when that happens, life gets awesome.
E ．Will guilt and regret have you living in the past
F ．He met his colleague’s argument with absolute calm.
G ．Maturity begins when drama and dissatisfaction end.

Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner strength. There is no one easy or simple way
to learn it , as everyone’s mind works differently from another. 16 Here’s a list of ways to develop
self-management skills.
Have Goals
If something is important enough for you, it should be written down somewhere as your goal. Whether it is
losing some weight or finishing a course with a certain grade, having a goal to reach is important for your
motivation. It provides you a reason why you’re doing something or not doing something. 17
Set a schedule
Daily or weekly schedules gives you more of a feeling that things are being accomplished. Students who set schedules for themselves tend to be a bit more organized and aware of everything that is happening around them.
18 For example, they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their
friends later.
19
____
If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it and make
positive changes towards meeting your goals. 20 But sometimes you just fall short. Knowing that
it’s okay and that you can move on is all the motivation you’ll need to pick yourself back up.
Self-Management skills are essential for life. Only through Self-Management can you truly own your future.
So take it seriously and find ways to improve yourself.
A ．Assess yourself.
B ．Be honest to yourself
C ．But there are certain things that work for most.
D ．Whether it is natural or acquired, it is a great skill.
E ．You can even break it down to yearly, monthly, weekly, and even daily ones.
F ．They’re able to think in advance about what they need to accomplish now or later.
G ．This step is especially hard because you want to feel good about yourself and achieve your goals .

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words
Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few
deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. 16
Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words” Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered I don’t think so. 17 It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then
follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile.
18 What about that saying True Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each
of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. 19 Let’s not be a member of that “club” .
When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate’s coat pocket If you want to see a
bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years.
“I can live for two months on a good compliment(夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they
feel appreciated and understood. 20 A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I
noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself ” It is amazing how
those few words can change a child's outlook... almost immediately. Don’t stop there... One of my sisters ended a
phone conversation with three words －“I love you”! Boy, that put a spring in my step! Mark Twain is right. I still
feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words.
A ．The pen is more powerful than the sword.
B ．Is it really reasonable to do something like that
C ．Do they display the attitude that we want to convey
D ．It is important to have your words match your actions.
E ．Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.
F ．Those words did lasting damage to you, the relationship or both.
G ．Don’t be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long.

Why Does Food Taste Bad On Airplanes
How many times have you complained about airline food being tasteless According to popularly accepted studies, the reason might be a change in our ability to perceive taste. 16 Let’s get into the actual details
before you get offended.
The Cabin Air is 15% Drier Than the Air on the Ground
To maintain the pressure inside the cabin, airlines must closely regulate the air inside, involving changing its composition. The air inside airplane cabins is far more dry than the air we breathe on the ground. 17 In an
environment like this, your powers of taste and smell begin to drift away.
The Pressure Inside the Cabin is Lower Than on the Ground
In the pressurized cabin a passenger’s bodily fluids will move upwards and the nasal cavities (鼻 腔) swell. The swelling messes with our taste buds, making the food taste unappealing. You might know how dining in such
conditions feel, since we’ve all fought colds in the past. 18
19
Bad food can’t be blamed merely on the in-cabin conditions too. It’s also possible that the food is actually bad. Due to food safety standards, all meals must be cooked on the ground and unbreakable. Such requirements for mass
production definitely ties down the Chef’s hands.
What can be done
20 Apparently, chefs have been trying to adapt recipes in how food tastes at high altitudes. Everyone
needs to be patient until better solutions for mass food production are found.
A ．The method of food production is different.
B ．The mass production of food is to blame.
C ．In some cases, it’s even drier than certain deserts.
D ．A sick person is far from the best judge of food quality.
E ．That makes it our body’s fault, rather than the airlines.
F ．But that doesn’t mean meals served on airplanes can’t taste just as good.
G ．Basically, we can’t use the same recipes for airline meals that we would use on the ground.

2. Work out who can give you a hand. 19 Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your

specific things above, and our complaining is much more likely to feel useful and effective:
Use facts and logic.
Identify who has the ability to make it happen.
20
____
Whatever your complaining, it’ll make for your improvement when used correctly and effectively.
A ．Get rid of your bitter complaints.
B ．Don’t complain to the same people.
C ．Actually, complaining has a bad reputation.
D ．Socialize with others to make complaints accessible.

This summer, as the capital of England became warmer than before, there has been many stories from people
experiencing odd insect bites. 16
17 And, as the Space song said, the females of these species are more deadly than the males, being the
ones that seek out animal blood as extra nutrition for their eggs. Mosquitoes are more secret attacker, biting us very
precisely with their needle-sharp mouth. Horseflies have a particularly cruel bite using their jaws to bite into our
skin like a carving knife until they break a blood vessel(血管).
18 “Insects have a special and specific relationship with heat,” says Vicki Sims from LadyBug Pest Control. “The rise in temperature sees insects grow faster. 19 ” So, what does this mean for the state of our skin Long and warm London summers mean we may see more of the insects we expect, but some new ones we
don’t.
20 . Usually arriving with international shipments(运输), traditionally “insect species brought over
would die out relatively quickly because of our cold weather,” says Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control
Association. “But as the weather warms up there’s more chance that they’ll survive and become a problem, so
effective measures should be taken as soon as possible.”
A ．Year on year, many species are altering their behaviour and biology to follow the trends of the seasons.
B ．Even the London Underground has its own species of mosquito with a particular appetite for human blood.
C ．Concerns about increase of alien(外来的) species in the UK are growing.
D ．The main insects out for your blood in London are mosquitoes and horseflies.
E ．And it has raised the awareness of social psychologists.
F ．These insects are far more active in warm weather.
G ．The higher the temperature is, the more poisonous the insects are.

In 1985, 16-year old Douglas Casa collapsed when running the championship 10,000 meter Face at the Empire
State Games. With just 200 meters to go, he got up and then fell down again. his body temperature at dangerous
levels. 16
How does an exertional heat stroke(劳力性热射病) come about When you exercise, in normal circumstances, nearly 80% of the energy you use is transformed into heat. 17 And your body can radiate the heat quickly through cooling methods like the evaporation of sweat. But with uncompensable heat stress,your body is unable to
lose enough heat, raising your core temperature beyond normal levels. This creates cells that no longer function
properly. If these cells increase sharply, there can be destructive results, including liver damage, blood clot
formation, and even the failure of vital organs.
18 The main criterion is a core body temperature greater than 40℃ along with physical symptoms like confused behavior or loss of consciousness. The most accurate way to assess core body temperature is with a
rectal thermometer(直肠温度计).
The good news is that though this condition is one of the top three leading causes of death in sports, we can do
something effective to save lives. 19
As far as treatment goes, the most important thing is to cool first, transport second. Because the human body can bear a core temperature above 40°C for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in, it’s essential to initiate
rapid cooling on site. 20 As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much
surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive.
A ．It is definitely survivable with proper care
B ．This is what is known as compensable heat stress.
C ．So how do you recognize an exertional heat stroke
D ．So how do exertional heat strokes affect our health
E ．Exertional heat stroke has long been a serious concern.
F ．He had suffered an exertional heat stroke, or sunstroke
G ．But before you start anything, emergency services should be called.

Do you ever feel really afraid of failing Do you think you have to be perfect all the time Do you get very upset over small mistakes that you think you made and then imagine that makes the whole thing you are working
on wrong 36 .
Perfectionists think that if they don’t act perfectly, they are really bad or worthless. 37 . For example, you imagine other people judge you very harshly for very small mistakes. Perfectionists set really unrealistic goals for themselves, such as, I will make honor roll every year or never miss a step in that dance sequence. 38 .
This kind of thinking means you view situations as all good or all bad—nothing in between.
39 . The first step is to help them identify their thoughts about a situation that’s distressing. They are
advised to ask themselves, “What is going through my mind right now ” Then, if their next thought is along the
lines of all-good or all-bad thinking such as “I made a mistake and now my project is ruined,” it is suggested that
they ask themselves something about that thought. They could ask, “Is there a way to see my situation as not all
good or bad, but as something in between ”
Setting realistic goals sounds like a crucial part of trying to avoid perfectionism, while still being motivated to
do well. Yes, contrary to what most people think, you can still become very successful without being a
perfectionist! 40 . They can fail at a task and more easily bounce back from that failure.
A ．If you do, then you are probably a perfectionist.
B ．So what can people do to help change the way they think
C ．Perfectionists sometimes avoid challenges for fear of failing.
D ．When they don’t meet these goals, they feel it’s a catastrophe.
E ．They appreciate success without linking it so rigidly to their self-worth.
F ．Positive strivers set realistic goals and enjoy challenging themselves.
G ．They usually think others also use the same unreasonably high standards to judge them.阅读理解（七选五）-2024年高三英语名校联考试题汇编

I was recently in a business meeting, where two managers faced off with their wildly different opinions. But to our surprise, the meeting went remarkably well - and all because one of them simply showed a calm maturity（成
熟） . He kept saying things like, “I absolutely see your point, Jeff,” and “You’re right about that. Could we
consider… ” 16 And things went smoothly. So what are more ways to bring more cool, collected calm
into our life Here are some.
Focus on your own stuff.
It can be so easy to compare ourselves to other people over our paychecks, the contents of our closets,
relationship statuses etc. But when you realize that all that matters is you, you can’t help but just do you.
17
____
Know how to laugh at yourself.
Joan Rivers said, “Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny.” 18 And once you get to
the point where you can laugh at yourself, you can laugh at pretty much anything.
19
I don’t think there is anything more grown-up than taking 100 percent responsibility for your life. No excuses
or exceptions - parental, governmental or otherwise. When you own your circumstances and your “stuff” you’re
empowered.
20 . We can quantify our calm by our ability to “shake it off”. You really can choose to free yourself
from anything: a rude remark, a disrespect from someone you’ve never liked, a passive-aggressive colleague ...
whatever. When you can shake all that off and just focus on the present moment, you kind of have it figured out.
A ．Never react.
B ．Don’t blame others.
C ．Life doesn’t have to be so serious, does it
D ．And when that happens, life gets awesome.
E ．Will guilt and regret have you living in the past

说， “我完全明白你的意思，杰夫， ”和“你说得对。我们可以考虑…… 吗 ”)”可知，其中一人以绝对冷静的 态度面对争议，所以 F 项“He met his colleague’s argument with absolute calm.(他以绝对冷静的态度面对同事
的争论)”符合文意。故选 F 项。
17．空处位于段末， 应是对前文的总结， 根据前文“It can be so easy to compare ourselves to other people over our
paychecks, the contents of our closets, relationship statuses etc. But when you realize that all that matters is you,
you can’t help but just do you.(我们很容易拿自己的薪水、衣柜里的东西、关系状况等与他人比较。但当你意 识到最重要的是你自己时， 你就会情不自禁地做你自己)”推知， 当我们意识到自己是最重要的后生活会有什 么样的改变。D 项“And when that happens, life gets awesome.(当这种情况发生时， 生活就变得精彩了)”符合文

taking 100 percent responsibility for your life. No excuses or exceptions - parental, governmental or otherwise.
When you own your circumstances and your “stuff” you’re empowered.(我认为没有什么比对自己的生活承担百 分之百的责任更成熟的了。没有借口或例外——父母的， 政府的或其他的。当你拥有你的环境和你的“东西” 时，你就被赋予了力量)”可知， 本段说的是自己去承担责任， 不要责怪他人， 所以 B 项“Don’t blame others.(不
要指责他人)”符合文意。故选 B 项。
20 ．分析设空， 空处位于段首， 是本段的中心句， 根据后文“We can quantify our calm by our ability to “shake
it off”. You really can choose to free yourself from anything: a rude remark, a disrespect from someone you’ve
never liked, a passive-aggressive colleague ... whatever. When you can shake all that off and just focus on the

件和不满结束时，成熟就开始了)”符合文意。故选 G 项。

Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner strength. There is no one easy or simple way
to learn it , as everyone’s mind works differently from another. 16 Here’s a list of ways to develop
self-management skills.
Have Goals
If something is important enough for you, it should be written down somewhere as your goal. Whether it is
losing some weight or finishing a course with a certain grade, having a goal to reach is important for your
motivation. It provides you a reason why you’re doing something or not doing something. 17
Set a schedule
Daily or weekly schedules gives you more of a feeling that things are being accomplished. Students who set schedules for themselves tend to be a bit more organized and aware of everything that is happening around them.
18 For example, they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their
friends later.
19
____
If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it and make
positive changes towards meeting your goals. 20 But sometimes you just fall short. Knowing that
it’s okay and that you can move on is all the motivation you’ll need to pick yourself back up.
Self-Management skills are essential for life. Only through Self-Management can you truly own your future.
So take it seriously and find ways to improve yourself.
A ．Assess yourself.
B ．Be honest to yourself
C ．But there are certain things that work for most.
D ．Whether it is natural or acquired, it is a great skill.
E ．You can even break it down to yearly, monthly, weekly, and even daily ones.
F ．They’re able to think in advance about what they need to accomplish now or later.
G ．This step is especially hard because you want to feel good about yourself and achieve your goals .

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words
Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who
may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for
that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few
deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. 16
Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words” Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered I don’t think so. 17 It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then
follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile.
18 What about that saying True Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each
of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. 19 Let’s not be a member of that “club” .
When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate’s coat pocket If you want to see a
bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years.
“I can live for two months on a good compliment(夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they
feel appreciated and understood. 20 A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I
noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself ” It is amazing how
those few words can change a child's outlook... almost immediately. Don’t stop there... One of my sisters ended a
phone conversation with three words －“I love you”! Boy, that put a spring in my step! Mark Twain is right. I still
feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words.
A ．The pen is more powerful than the sword.
B ．Is it really reasonable to do something like that
C ．Do they display the attitude that we want to convey
D ．It is important to have your words match your actions.
E ．Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.

Why Does Food Taste Bad On Airplanes
How many times have you complained about airline food being tasteless According to popularly accepted studies, the reason might be a change in our ability to perceive taste. 16 Let’s get into the actual details
before you get offended.
The Cabin Air is 15% Drier Than the Air on the Ground
To maintain the pressure inside the cabin, airlines must closely regulate the air inside, involving changing its composition. The air inside airplane cabins is far more dry than the air we breathe on the ground. 17 In an
environment like this, your powers of taste and smell begin to drift away.
The Pressure Inside the Cabin is Lower Than on the Ground
In the pressurized cabin a passenger’s bodily fluids will move upwards and the nasal cavities (鼻 腔) swell.
The swelling messes with our taste buds, making the food taste unappealing. You might know how dining in such
conditions feel, since we’ve all fought colds in the past. 18
19
____
Bad food can’t be blamed merely on the in-cabin conditions too. It’s also possible that the food is actually bad. Due to food safety standards, all meals must be cooked on the ground and unbreakable. Such requirements for mass
production definitely ties down the Chef’s hands.
What can be done
20 Apparently, chefs have been trying to adapt recipes in how food tastes at high altitudes. Everyone
needs to be patient until better solutions for mass food production are found.
A ．The method of food production is different.
B ．The mass production of food is to blame.
C ．In some cases, it’s even drier than certain deserts.
D ．A sick person is far from the best judge of food quality.
E ．That makes it our body’s fault, rather than the airlines.
F ．But that doesn’t mean meals served on airplanes can’t taste just as good.
G ．Basically, we can’t use the same recipes for airline meals that we would use on the ground.

Complaining is often looked at as a negative, but if you perfect it great things can happen.
16 Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy (共情) and stop
you achieving your dream and living the life you want. They suggest that you cut out negativity from your life,
especially people who complain. But humans love to complain
I know this because I get paid to sit with people while they complain and process every week.
17 Once we discover how to effectively integrate it, great things can happen. Dr Robin Kowalski
found those who complain with the hopes of achieving a certain result tend to be happier.
Complaining also influences how people see us, creates social bonds, encourages empathy and helps create
real changes. It plays a very important role in our lives and is a skill that can be extremely effective. 18
So here are some ways to deal with the art of complaining in a skillful way.
1. Clarify and organize your complaints. It will get your complaints across to others more easily.
2. Work out who can give you a hand. 19 Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your
goal.

specific things above, and our complaining is much more likely to feel useful and effective:
Use facts and logic.
Identify who has the ability to make it happen.

This summer, as the capital of England became warmer than before, there has been many stories from people
experiencing odd insect bites. 16
17 And, as the Space song said, the females of these species are more deadly than the males, being the ones that seek out animal blood as extra nutrition for their eggs. Mosquitoes are more secret attacker, biting us very
precisely with their needle-sharp mouth. Horseflies have a particularly cruel bite using their jaws to bite into our
skin like a carving knife until they break a blood vessel(血管).
18 “Insects have a special and specific relationship with heat,” says Vicki Sims from LadyBug Pest
Control. “The rise in temperature sees insects grow faster. 19 ” So, what does this mean for the state of our skin Long and warm London summers mean we may see more of the insects we expect, but some new ones we
don’t.
20 . Usually arriving with international shipments(运输), traditionally “insect species brought over
would die out relatively quickly because of our cold weather,” says Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control
Association. “But as the weather warms up there’s more chance that they’ll survive and become a problem, so
effective measures should be taken as soon as possible.”
A ．Year on year, many species are altering their behaviour and biology to follow the trends of the seasons.
B ．Even the London Underground has its own species of mosquito with a particular appetite for human blood.
C ．Concerns about increase of alien(外来的) species in the UK are growing.
D ．The main insects out for your blood in London are mosquitoes and horseflies.
E ．And it has raised the awareness of social psychologists.
F ．These insects are far more active in warm weather.
G ．The higher the temperature is, the more poisonous the insects are.

In 1985, 16-year old Douglas Casa collapsed when running the championship 10,000 meter Face at the Empire
State Games. With just 200 meters to go, he got up and then fell down again. his body temperature at dangerous
levels. 16
How does an exertional heat stroke(劳力性热射病) come about When you exercise, in normal circumstances, nearly 80% of the energy you use is transformed into heat. 17 And your body can radiate the heat quickly through cooling methods like the evaporation of sweat. But with uncompensable heat stress,your body is unable to
lose enough heat, raising your core temperature beyond normal levels. This creates cells that no longer function
properly. If these cells increase sharply, there can be destructive results, including liver damage, blood clot
formation, and even the failure of vital organs.
18 The main criterion is a core body temperature greater than 40℃ along with physical symptoms like confused behavior or loss of consciousness. The most accurate way to assess core body temperature is with a
rectal thermometer(直肠温度计).
The good news is that though this condition is one of the top three leading causes of death in sports, we can do
something effective to save lives. 19
As far as treatment goes, the most important thing is to cool first, transport second. Because the human body
can bear a core temperature above 40°C for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in, it’s essential to initiate
rapid cooling on site. 20 As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much
surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive.
A ．It is definitely survivable with proper care
B ．This is what is known as compensable heat stress.
C ．So how do you recognize an exertional heat stroke
D ．So how do exertional heat strokes affect our health
E ．Exertional heat stroke has long been a serious concern.
F ．He had suffered an exertional heat stroke, or sunstroke

Do you ever feel really afraid of failing Do you think you have to be perfect all the time Do you get very upset over small mistakes that you think you made and then imagine that makes the whole thing you are working
on wrong 36 .
Perfectionists think that if they don’t act perfectly, they are really bad or worthless. 37 . For example, you imagine other people judge you very harshly for very small mistakes. Perfectionists set really unrealistic goals for themselves, such as, I will make honor roll every year or never miss a step in that dance sequence. 38 .
This kind of thinking means you view situations as all good or all bad—nothing in between.
39 . The first step is to help them identify their thoughts about a situation that’s distressing. They are
advised to ask themselves, “What is going through my mind right now ” Then, if their next thought is along the
lines of all-good or all-bad thinking such as “I made a mistake and now my project is ruined,” it is suggested that they ask themselves something about that thought. They could ask, “Is there a way to see my situation as not all
good or bad, but as something in between ”
Setting realistic goals sounds like a crucial part of trying to avoid perfectionism, while still being motivated to
do well. Yes, contrary to what most people think, you can still become very successful without being a
perfectionist! 40 . They can fail at a task and more easily bounce back from that failure.
A ．If you do, then you are probably a perfectionist.
B ．So what can people do to help change the way they think
C ．Perfectionists sometimes avoid challenges for fear of failing.
D ．When they don’t meet these goals, they feel it’s a catastrophe.
E ．They appreciate success without linking it so rigidly to their self-worth.
F ．Positive strivers set realistic goals and enjoy challenging themselves.
G ．They usually think others also use the same unreasonably high standards to judge them.
【答案】36 ．A 37 ．G 38 ．D 39 ．B 40 ．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了完美主义者的特征以及如何改变完美主义者的思维。
36．根据前文“Do you ever feel really afraid of failing Do you think you have to be perfect all the time Do you get
very upset over small mistakes that you think you made and then imagine that makes the whole thing you are
working on wrong (你曾经真的害怕失败吗？你认为你必须一直保持完美吗？你是否会因为你认为自己犯了 一些小错误而非常沮丧， 然后想象这会让你正在做的整个事情都错了？ )”可知， 如果有以上的现象， 你有可 能是一个完美主义者。所以选择项 A“If you do, then you are probably a perfectionist.(如果是的， 那么你可能是
一个完美主义者。 )”符合上下文语境。故选 A。
37 ．根据前句“Perfectionists think that if they don’t act perfectly, they are really bad or worthless. (完美主义者认 为， 如果他们表现得不完美， 他们就真的很糟糕或毫无价值。)”和后句“For example, you imagine other people
judge you very harshly for very small mistakes.(例如，你想象其他人会因为你的一个小错误而严厉地批评
你。)”可知， 完美主义者认为不但自己要求完美， 还会认为别人都以高标准来评判他们。所以选择项 G“They usually think others also use the same unreasonably high standards to judge them. (他们通常认为别人也用同样不
合理的高标准来评判他们。 )”符合上下文语境。故选 G。
38．根据前句“Perfectionists set really unrealistic goals for themselves, such as, I will make honor roll every year or never miss a step in that dance sequence. (完美主义者给自己设定的目标非常不切实际，比如，我每年都要上 荣誉榜， 或者在舞蹈中从不错过一步。)”和后句“This kind of thinking means you view situations as all good or all bad—nothing in between. (这种思维意味着你认为情况不是全好就是全坏——没有介于两者之间。)”可知， 如
果完美主义者没有达到给自己设定的目标，就会认为很糟糕。所以选择项 D“When they don’t meet these
goals, they feel it’s a catastrophe. (当他们没有达到这些目标时， 他们会觉得这是一场灾难。)”符合上下文语境。
故选 D。
39 ．空处为本段主旨句。根据后文“The first step is to help them identify their thoughts about a situation that’s distressing. They are advised to ask themselves, “What is going through my mind right now ” Then, if their next thought is along the lines of all-good or all-bad thinking such as “I made a mistake and now my project is ruined,”
it is suggested that they ask themselves something about that thought. They could ask, “Is there a way to see my
(
situation as not all good or bad, but as something
in between ”(
第一
步是帮助他们确定自己对令人痛苦的情况
的想法。建议他们问自己：
“
我现在在想什么
”
然后，
如果他们的下一个想
法是完全好的或完全坏的，
比如
“
我
犯了一个错误，现在我的项目被毁了
”
，建议他们问问自己关于这个想法的一些事情。他们可能会问：
“
有没
有一种方法可以让我的处境不完全是？
”)”
可知，本段主要介绍如何帮
助改变完美主义者的思维方式。所以
选择项
B“So what can people do to help change the way they think (
那么，人们能
做些什么来帮助改变他们的
思维方式呢？
)”
符合题意。故选
B
。

“Setting realistic goals sounds like a crucial part of
trying to
avo
id perfectionism,
while
still being
motivated to do well. Yes, contrary to what most people think, you can still become very
su
ccessful
without being
a
perfectionist! (
设定现实
的目标听起来像是避免完美主义的一个关键部分，
同时仍然有动力做好。是的，
与大
多数人的想法相反，你仍然可以变得非常成功，而不是一个完美主义者
!)”
和后句
“They can fail at a task and

e strivers set realistic goals and enjoy
challenging themselves. (
积极奋斗者设定现实的目标，喜欢挑战自我。
)”
符合上下文语境。故选
F
。
