Art exploration is not only fun and entertaining, but also educational. It allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning. Here are some tips for growing your up-and-coming
artist.
Talk with your child about their work. 16 . When we ask “What is it ”, we are saying that it should look like something we’d recognize. Instead, ask open-ended questions like “Tell me about your picture.” You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “You’re making short lines. I see you are
using red, green and blue.”
Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions. 17 . If your child concentrates on what you are drawing or how “good” your picture is, they are less likely
to be imaginative and creative on their own.
18 . Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore,
experiment and use their imaginations. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times-this is all
part of the creative process.
Support, don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by
someone else 19 . So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. Maybe they want to peel (剥) the paper off a crayon and use it lengthwise on the paper, instead of writing with the
tip.
Get your child creating and learning. 20 .
A ．It is the same case with kids
B ．Keep the process open-ended
C ．Don’t shift their focus onto their drawings
D ．It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawings
E ．Focus on the product, not the complex process
F ．All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind
G ．Make big or small lines, or practice drawing circles

Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes. 16
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and
physically active, to focusing only on the scale. The original training program is beneficial for me to develop
muscle. 17 However, thinking only of lowering the number on the scale, I changed my training program.
I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was
making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to
changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. 18 Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. Weighing every other month allows me to
observe and account for any significant weight changes. 19 I use my bimonthly weigh-in results to get
information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly hungry and
dropping weight, this is a sign that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
20 I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals,
because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.
Rather than obsessing over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your
overall energy level.
A ．That was bad to my overall fitness goals.
B ．Muscles rely on more than just activity to grow.
C ．I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.
D ．For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.
E ．That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.
F ．The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.
G ．However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.

People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not
rewarded. 36 The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your
sleep that might just work.
37 There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of
worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks
rather than tomorrow.
Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for
eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won’t be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don’t pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting — the details don’t matter. And
don’t take naps (小睡) in the day. 38
Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you tum the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. 39 Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension
and allowing sleep to follow.
Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better
sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse. 40 Make this the last
article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.
A ．Try to stay awake at night.
B ．In fact, it is actively punished.
C ．Give up trying to sleep tonight.
D ．So give sleep less of your attention.
E ．They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.
F ．It doesn’t have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.
G ．You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.

Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad
habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they
get burned out. 16 This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
17 Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up
an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. 18
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want
to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal
with very little resistance from your body and mind. 19
This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just
continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going.
20 What one minute change can you make to your life today
A ．The key is to change a little bit at a time.
B ．Keeping on exercising can build up strength.
C ．It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed.
D ．Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal.
E ．Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed.
F ．Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear.
G ．Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved.

Whoever wrote the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the
holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday
blues. 16 . Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life. Here are four strategies to help you
make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
17
___
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response— no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers,
looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers
pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse, so trying to force happiness seems to have the
opposite effects.
Let out sadness
The results of the bus -driver study can be explained by researchers. who find that negative feelings like
sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 18 . We don’t like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. 19 . A cautious
response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may
even carry physiological benefits.
Enjoy a mix of emotions
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is
that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well -being. 20 . Just make sure
you’re balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.
A ．Don’t force cheer
B ．Relax your mind
C ．We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D ．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside
E ．In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear
F ．When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once
G ．The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid
6. 【湖南省长沙一中 2023 年高三试题】
We spend most of the year complaining that Britain is too cold and wet but gripe (抱怨) with just as much enthusiasm about the heat. Although moaning about the weather is satisfying, it’s better to take action and cool
yourself down. You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃ . 36
Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. 37 People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions) and those who work
outside need extra protection in hot weather.
Research shows that putting your feet in cold water is a good way to reduce core body temperature and keep
your organs working. It will also help reduce swelling in your ankles and feet.
38 However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold water as cold shock can be dangerous. In
drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on cooling either your feet, hands or neck and
face, which will also be effective.
It is important to stay hydrated (补充水分) and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat. On average in very hot conditions we sweat 3-4 litres per hour and up to 10 litres a day, the same as 40 cups of tea. For a short amount of time, hot drinks raise your core body temperature. But it induces sweating, which then lowers your temperature.
Cold and ice drinks do cool you down too. It’s thought hot drinks might be slightly more effective than cold.
39
____
Another way to beat the heat is wild swimming. 40 Slowly submerge (淹没) your body in the water,
understand the limits of your swimming ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many
people drown in hot weather.
A ．But be aware of cold shock.
B ．Some people are more fragile to heat.
C ．You will definitely be ill with the icy drinks.
D ．Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.
E ．Heatwaves can leave you desperate to cool down.
F ．This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.
G ．Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you down faster.

Shopping is good for your health. It’s official! We all know shopping is torturing men, who painfully stand
behind their girlfriends or wives until they are done with their shopping, and affecting the bank balance. 31
The next time you go to a mall, and just observe the ladies there, you will see all of them in the best of their
moods. Studies confirm it as a form of e on, let’s face it. When we go shopping, we feel good about
ourselves and the place. 32 And it literally is a way to release stress for most women. Shopping releases
hormones which are responsible for lifting your moods and therefore good for your mental health.
Cancel all your gym activities, your diet plans and all those trips to the gym. Scientists have found that women spend an average of 4 hours on shopping during a week. 33 Although most women do not realize or look at
it as a formal form of exercise, it is definitely an effective form of exercise and it requires less motivation.
Some studies have led to the conclusion that shopping is one of the best ways to fight depression. A woman tends to be so absorbed in shopping that she can shop for hours without eating or getting tired. That is exactly the
reason why girls usually spend hours shopping after a terrible break-up. 34 Therefore, shopping helps
overcome depression. Moreover, it is good to reward yourself occasionally with all those things you
fancy. 35
A ．It is the simplest way to raise our self-worth.
B ．Smart shopping can also save money and energy.
C ．Feeling unhappy, you may think about other things instead of shopping.
D ．So, the next time you are depressed about something, you know what to do.
E ．They walk more than 70 miles per week, using up nearly 200 calories per trip.
F ．But we may ignore that shopping can help improve your mental and physical health.
G ．It is something that makes them happy and helps them forget their worries and problems.

It can be very easy to stick with what you know, instead of trying to meet people who are different from you.
16 Here's what you can do:
Become self-aware. 17 This includes biases(偏见） about your own cultural background. It can be
confronting, but by doing this you'll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences. You could try: Think about what assumptions you make about your friends, peers,
and people you work with.
Talk to someone from a different cultural background. Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better. 18 You'll automatically find out more about their life and experiences. Just being curious
and open-minded can be helpful.
Be more accepting. Sometimes, for one reason or another, it's not all that easy to understand some cultural
differences. 19 In other words, you don't have to understand, or even agree with, someone in order to accept
them.
20 One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making
judgments based on one opinion. You should do some research to actually learn about people, instead of making
broad-brush assessments. Stereotyping(模式化）people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality
of life and opportunities.
A ．Do your own research.
B ．Think beyond stereotypes.
C ．Practice being sympathetic towards people.
D ．Work out your own beliefs, values and personal biases.
E ．Instead of asking them questions directly, treat them as friends.
F ．And the best approach is to acknowledge people are different and to accept that's okay.
G ．However, trying to understand people from other countries can help you experience more.

It’s always exciting to begin a new job. But among the frenzy (激动) of meeting new colleagues, starting new
projects, and building new skills, there can be a stressful pressure to succeed. A big part of your success is
determined by how quickly you are able to digest lots of information, which can be very hard. 16
* Manage yourself
When you notice information overload, don’t ignore it and don’t panic. Say to yourself, “I’m in a new job and
there is plenty to learn here. It’s okay to feel this way.” 17 . Remember that emotions can help you better
understand yourself and your values.
* Sort your information
18 . It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short-term memory, and it mixes together information we may need to use in the future to store in our long-term memory. For the information that’s not
needed, our brain acts like a garbage management, recycling, and deleting it.
* 19
____
Organizations often have digital knowledge management systems to store and take important information. You
can do the same to reduce brain burden. I recommend creating a Word or Google document in which you write
down information that your brain doesn’t need to remember or store.
* Reduce task-switching
Multi-tasking isn’t good for you physically or mentally and is worse for your productivity and cognition (认知).
20 You can go for longer than that, but be sure to take a break. Focused activity is less taxing than
multitasking, but you can’t keep working endlessly.
A ．Respond positively
B ．Use technology to help
C ．That problem is much easier to understand and solve
D ．Here are some methods to deal with the information overload
E ．For greater results, focus on one task for around 25 minutes
F ．Our brain is like a clever piece of equipment that “takes in information”
G ．This self-talk helps normalize the situation and makes the emotions easier to handle阅读理解之七选五-2024年高三英语名校联考试题汇编

3.【江苏省通泰镇徐连宿淮 7 市 2023 年高三下学期联考试卷】
People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not
rewarded. 36 The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your
sleep that might just work.
37 There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of
worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks
rather than tomorrow.
Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for
eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won’t be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don’t pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting — the details don’t matter. And
don’t take naps (小睡) in the day. 38
Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you tum the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. 39 Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension
and allowing sleep to follow.
Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better
sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse. 40 Make this the last
article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.
A ．Try to stay awake at night.
B ．In fact, it is actively punished.
C ．Give up trying to sleep tonight.
D ．So give sleep less of your attention.
E ．They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.
F ．It doesn’t have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.
G ．You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.

rewarded.(
人们尝试了各种方法来获得更多的睡眠。但与生活中几乎所有其他领域不同的是，努力是

可知， 此处强调的是人们尽管通过各种方法获得睡眠，
但并非总是有效的。根据后文
“The more you
try, the less you are likely to succeed.
(
你越努力，成功的可能性就越小。
)”
可知，越是积极地努力
，成功的可
能性越小。故设空处应该强调的是付出的种种努力没有得到回报
，
反而得到了消极的惩罚。
B
选项
“In fact, it
is actively punished. (
事实上，它受到了积极的惩罚。
)”
承上启下，符合语境。故选
B

可知， 此处强调不要为当下的睡眠做出积极的准备，
因为从现在到就寝时间，
你所
做的事情不一定能保证你能睡着。所以应该放弃尝试今晚睡觉，可以在未来的时间中为睡眠作
积极的准备。
C
选项
“Give up trying to sleep tonight.(
放弃尝试今晚睡觉。
)”
符合语境。故选
C
。
38
．根据前文
“ And don’t take naps (
小睡
) i
n the day.(
不要在白天打盹。
)”
可知，此处指出白天不要小睡，后
文应该指出这样做的结果。
E

可知， 此处强调即使
睡前的假笑也能给大脑传递信息，放松情绪有助于睡眠。因此设空处应该引出此
话题，即不一定是发自内
心的笑即假笑也会产生积极的作用。

Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad
habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they
get burned out. 16 This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
17 Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up
an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. 18
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want
to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal
with very little resistance from your body and mind. 19
This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just
continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going.
20 What one minute change can you make to your life today
A ．The key is to change a little bit at a time.
B ．Keeping on exercising can build up strength.
C ．It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed.
D ．Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal.
E ．Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed.
F ．Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear.

At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response— no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers,
looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers
pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse, so trying to force happiness seems to have the
opposite effects.
Let out sadness
The results of the bus -driver study can be explained by researchers. who find that negative feelings like
sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 18 . We don’t like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. 19 . A cautious
response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may
even carry physiological benefits.
Enjoy a mix of emotions
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is
that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well -being. 20 . Just make sure
you’re balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.
A ．Don’t force cheer
B ．Relax your mind
C ．We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D ．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside
E ．In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear

We spend most of the year complaining that Britain is too cold and wet but gripe (抱怨) with just as much enthusiasm about the heat. Although moaning about the weather is satisfying, it’s better to take action and cool
yourself down. You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃ . 36
Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. 37 People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions) and those who work
outside need extra protection in hot weather.
Research shows that putting your feet in cold water is a good way to reduce core body temperature and keep
your organs working. It will also help reduce swelling in your ankles and feet.
38 However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold water as cold shock can be dangerous. In
drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on cooling either your feet, hands or neck and
face, which will also be effective.
It is important to stay hydrated (补充水分) and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat. On average in very hot conditions we sweat 3-4 litres per hour and up to 10 litres a day, the same as 40 cups of tea. For a short amount of time, hot drinks raise your core body temperature. But it induces sweating, which then lowers your temperature.
Cold and ice drinks do cool you down too. It’s thought hot drinks might be slightly more effective than cold.
39
____
Another way to beat the heat is wild swimming. 40 Slowly submerge (淹没) your body in the water,
understand the limits of your swimming ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many
people drown in hot weather.
A ．But be aware of cold shock.
B ．Some people are more fragile to heat.
C ．You will definitely be ill with the icy drinks.
D ．Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.
E ．Heatwaves can leave you desperate to cool down.
F ．This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.
G ．Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you down faster.
【答案】36 ．F 37 ．B 38 ．G 39 ．D 40 ．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在英国如何避暑。
36 ．分析设空， 空处位于段尾， 应是对前文的总结或者回答， 根据前文“You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃.(在英国， 当气温达到 24℃时，你需要格外小心)”可知，F 项“This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.(这是中暑疾病和死亡人数开始增加的时候)”可知， F 选项中的“This is when”和上文 中的“when temperatures hit 24℃”照应。并且该选项讲述了高温的危害，即导致疾病和死亡，进而跟下文段 首句“Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. (太热会让你身体不适，甚至会致命)”进行了衔接。
故选 F 项。
37 ．根据前文“Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you.(太热会让你身体不适， 甚至会致命)”以及 后文“People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions) and those who work outside need extra protection in hot weather.(65 岁以上、5 岁以下、孕妇、 有疾病(如心脏病和精神疾病)的人以及在室外工作的人在炎热的天气下需要额外的保护)”可知， 空处是一个 过渡句， 由结论过渡到具体的例子， 所以 B 项“Some people are more fragile to heat.(有些人更容易受热)”符合
文意。故选 B 项。
38 ．分析设空， 位于段首， 应是本段的中心句， 根据后文“However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold
water as cold shock can be dangerous. In drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on
cooling either your feet, hands or neck and face, which will also be effective.(然而，不要试图完全浸泡在冰冷的 水中，因为冷休克是危险的。在干旱的情况下，记得节约用水，只专注于冷却你的脚、手或脖子和脸，这 也会很有效)”可知，本段在讲通过淋浴或泡澡来避暑， 所以 G Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you
down faster.(此外，淋浴或泡澡会让你更快地凉快下来)”符合文意。故选 G 项。
39．分析设空，空处位于段尾， 应是对前文的总结， 根据前文“It is important to stay hydrated and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat.(重要的是要保持水分， 补充我们出汗时失去的矿物质)”可知， 本段主要讲述要多喝水 来避暑， 所以 D 项“Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.(不管温度是多少， 都要多喝水)”和本文主题
相呼应，符合文意。故选 D 项。
40．根据前文“Another way to beat the heat is wild swimming.(另一种消暑的方法是游泳)”可知， 本段主要讲通
过游泳来避暑，再根据后文“Slowly submerge your body in the water, understand the limits of your swimming
ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many people drown in hot weather.(慢慢地把你 的身体浸入水中， 了解你游泳能力的极限， 并知道在哪里游泳是安全的， 因为许多人在炎热的天气会溺水)”

Shopping is good for your health. It’s official! We all know shopping is torturing men, who painfully stand
behind their girlfriends or wives until they are done with their shopping, and affecting the bank balance. 31
The next time you go to a mall, and just observe the ladies there, you will see all of them in the best of their
moods. Studies confirm it as a form of e on, let’s face it. When we go shopping, we feel good about
ourselves and the place. 32 And it literally is a way to release stress for most women. Shopping releases
hormones which are responsible for lifting your moods and therefore good for your mental health.
Cancel all your gym activities, your diet plans and all those trips to the gym. Scientists have found that women spend an average of 4 hours on shopping during a week. 33 Although most women do not realize or look at
it as a formal form of exercise, it is definitely an effective form of exercise and it requires less motivation.
Some studies have led to the conclusion that shopping is one of the best ways to fight depression. A woman tends to be so absorbed in shopping that she can shop for hours without eating or getting tired. That is exactly the
reason why girls usually spend hours shopping after a terrible break-up. 34 Therefore, shopping helps
overcome depression. Moreover, it is good to reward yourself occasionally with all those things you
fancy. 35
A ．It is the simplest way to raise our self-worth.
B ．Smart shopping can also save money and energy.
C ．Feeling unhappy, you may think about other things instead of shopping.
D ．So, the next time you are depressed about something, you know what to do.
E ．They walk more than 70 miles per week, using up nearly 200 calories per trip.
F ．But we may ignore that shopping can help improve your mental and physical health.
G ．It is something that makes them happy and helps them forget their worries and problems.

9.【重庆第二外国语学校 2023 年高三试题】
It can be very easy to stick with what you know, instead of trying to meet people who are different from you.
16 Here's what you can do:
Become self-aware. 17 This includes biases(偏见） about your own cultural background. It can be
confronting, but by doing this you'll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences. You could try: Think about what assumptions you make about your friends, peers,
and people you work with.
Talk to someone from a different cultural background. Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better. 18 You'll automatically find out more about their life and experiences. Just being curious
and open-minded can be helpful.
Be more accepting. Sometimes, for one reason or another, it's not all that easy to understand some cultural
differences. 19 In other words, you don't have to understand, or even agree with, someone in order to accept
them.
20 One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making
judgments based on one opinion. You should do some research to actually learn about people, instead of making
broad-brush assessments. Stereotyping(模式化）people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality
of life and opportunities.
A ．Do your own research.
B ．Think beyond stereotypes.
C ．Practice being sympathetic towards people.
D ．Work out your own beliefs, values and personal biases.
E ．Instead of asking them questions directly, treat them as friends.
F ．And the best approach is to acknowledge people are different and to accept that's okay.
G ．However, trying to understand people from other countries can help you experience more.

10.【2023 届福建省福州市二次质检】
It’s always exciting to begin a new job. But among the frenzy (激动) of meeting new colleagues, starting new
projects, and building new skills, there can be a stressful pressure to succeed. A big part of your success is
determined by how quickly you are able to digest lots of information, which can be very hard. 16
* Manage yourself
When you notice information overload, don’t ignore it and don’t panic. Say to yourself, “I’m in a new job and there is plenty to learn here. It’s okay to feel this way.” 17 . Remember that emotions can help you better
understand yourself and your values.
* Sort your information
18 . It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short-term memory, and it mixes together information we may need to use in the future to store in our long-term memory. For the information that’s not
needed, our brain acts like a garbage management, recycling, and deleting it.
* 19
____
Organizations often have digital knowledge management systems to store and take important information. You
can do the same to reduce brain burden. I recommend creating a Word or Google document in which you write
down information that your brain doesn’t need to remember or store.
* Reduce task-switching
Multi-tasking isn’t good for you physically or mentally and is worse for your productivity and cognition (认知).
20 You can go for longer than that, but be sure to take a break. Focused activity is less taxing than
multitasking, but you can’t keep working endlessly.
A ．Respond positively
B ．Use technology to help
C ．That problem is much easier to understand and solve
D ．Here are some methods to deal with the information overload
E ．For greater results, focus on one task for around 25 minutes
F ．Our brain is like a clever piece of equipment that “takes in information”
G ．This self-talk helps normalize the situation and makes the emotions easier to handle
【答案】 16 ．D 17 ．G 18 ．F 19 ．B 20 ．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，作者针对新工作带来的过多信息，给出了四点建议。

有助于使情况正常化，使情绪更容易处理)”承接上文，说明自我对话所起到的作用，选项中的“This
self-talk”指代上文“Say to yourself, ‘I’m in a new job and there is plenty to learn here. It’s okay to feel this way. ’ ”； 下文“Remember that emotions can help you better understand yourself and your values. (记住，情绪可以帮助你 更好地了解自己和自己的价值观。)”阐述了管理好情绪的重要性；由此可知，G 选项符合本段主旨和语境。
故选 G。
18 ．由下文“It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short-term memory, and it mixes together information
we may need to use in the future to store in our long-term memory. (它把我们需要的即时信息保存在我们的短
期记忆中，并把我们将来可能需要的信息混合在一起，存储在我们的长期记忆中。 )”可知句中“It”指代设空 处所提到的某种存储信息的东西， 结合本段最后一句“For the information that’s not needed, our brain acts like a garbage management, recycling, and deleting it. (对于不需要的信息， 我们的大脑就像垃圾管理系统一样， 回收
并删除它们。 )”可知设空处提到是大脑， F 选项“Our brain is like a clever piece of equipment that ‘takes in
