七选五解题步骤
一、通读全文,对文章进行快速浏览,寻找主题句,抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。
在阅读过程中,要注意文章的开始与结束段落,尤其是文章的首段及末段末句,因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式,首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在,说明本文将探讨哪些内容,并简要指出文章的写作思路,有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
二、详读段落,在短时间内,找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。
文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开,对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词,明确其描述内容,为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句,标记关键词,关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组(如带有形容词的名词词组)、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子,圈定线索词,然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词,以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准,可先放过,继续往下读,先做容易的能做出的题,直到读完整篇文章。
三、定位选项,明确各备选选项的含义,抓住其关键词语。
根据文章整体结构与具体内容,将选项填入文中,填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时,要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容,以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处,看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系,是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。
四、通读复检,将所选答案代入文中,再次通读全文,重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后,应通读全文,检查文章内容是否完整,语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时,我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析,个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性,这时就需要我们认真分析,排除干扰,从而得出正确选项。
五、确定排除,研究多余选项,确定排除理由,最终确定答案。
七选五六大方略
高中英语阅读七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握,并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力。可以说,此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试。
从近五年七选五全国卷来看,说明文为主,几乎每年必考,应引起足够重视。
方略一 | 略读文章抓大意
以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句,以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别是however, but等后的内容)等重要部分,以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。事实上,一般只需花5~10秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。
方略二 | 重点阅读上下句
因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺,解题时大多只看上句,或只看下句,就可基本确定答案。事实上,如果没有时间来得及通读或细读,或者基础不够扎实即使读也读不懂,建议通过以下技巧,也基本上可以得满分。
方略三 | 看看结构变轻松
在解题过程中,除了每做一道有把握的题后就在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外,通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小,心情变得更加轻松,一般可将7个选项缩小到2~4个选项,碰对的机率大大提高。
方略四 | 词语复现显神功
作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时,与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现,这种现象叫词语复现。同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现;以同义词的形式重复出现,叫同义复现;以近义词或近义表达(意思相近,表达方式不同)的形式重复出现,叫近义复现;以词义相同而词性不同的形式重复出现,叫同根复现。还有上义词与下义词的复现(adult是teacher, parent的上义词,而teacher, parent就是adult的下义词)。
方略五 | 代词逻辑亦管用
我们知道,七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接,而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一,故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。
方略六 | 篇章需要基本功
有的题利用文章或段落的“总—分”结构关系来解,也很管用,但需要以下基本功:懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构通常是主题句(总)+支撑句(分)(分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等)。
七选五十大技巧
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有:however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者,或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。

(2023·新高考I卷)Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 36 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 37 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 38
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 39 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 40 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.

(2021·新高考I卷)My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 40 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
【答案】36-40 FCGEA
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和丈夫在巴黎待了一段时间了解到的法国人的一些生活习惯。
36.下文“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.(所以我们做的第一件事就是租了一个非常昂贵公寓,在第六层,只有一个橱柜那么大)”说明作者和丈夫采取行动,租了昂贵的公寓,F项“我们的目标是看看我们是否在某种程度上能像真正的巴黎人那样生活。”说明作者和丈夫租昂贵公寓的原因,引出下文,符合题意。故选F项。
37.上文“Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing worked.(与普通的巴黎公寓不同,水管工作正常)”说明作者租的公寓的情况,C项“有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床”继续说明公寓的配置,承接上文,符合题意。故选C项。
38.下文“French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.(法国草莓尝起来不像纸板。相反,它们会像小炸弹一样在你嘴里爆炸)”说明法国的草莓很美味,G项中delicious是关键词,G项“食物是如此美味,你不需要吃太多就能使你快乐”引出下文,符合题意。故选G项。
39.下文“My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!(我丈夫和我都认为这是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它们要18美元!)”说明法国的水果好吃但是很贵,E项“这并不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因”承接上文法国人吃的少但是不胖的话题,并引出下文,说明法国人吃的少的另一个原因“物价昂贵”。故选E项。
40.上文“In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded. (在法国生活质量比效率更重要。这一点你能从咖啡馆生活看出来。法国的咖啡厅总是很拥挤)”说明了法国人会去咖啡馆,认为生活质量比效率更重要,以及下文“When do these people work (这些人什么时候工作?)”说明咖啡馆中的顾客有法国人,A项中customer符合咖啡馆的情境设定,A项“并不是所有的顾客都是游客。”承上启下,符合题意。故选A项。

(2024上·广东深圳·高三统考期末)If you’re afraid to fly, you’re in good company. About 40% of Americans feel some fear at the thought of flying. 1 , these tips can help.
2
Exposure therapy is the idea that being exposed to something you’re afraid of over and over again calms down your limbic system so it doesn’t fire up as fast. That could mean less anxiety in the long run.
During the night, distract yourself
When we’re really anxious, we can’t think straight. The key is to try to connect to your rational, thinking brain. When we really focus on thinking, like doing a math problem, our emotional brain calms down. Try a crossword puzzle or Sudoku, read a really juicy romance novel or get through a pile of paperwork. 3 .
If you hit turbulence (气流), don’t force yourself to calm down
During a rough flight, you might be to take slow, deep breaths to calm down. 4 . It’s nearly impossible to stop your fight-or-flight response, once it’s been triggered. Remind yourself that your body is having a normal response to a perceived threat.
Consult with a doctor about medication (冥想), if you feel you might need it
There are medications pretty quickly taking down anxiety. 5 , talk with your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist. Try to think of a medication that’s not just short-term, but something that can help you bring your baseline anxiety down.
A. But don’t try to stop the experience
B. Try to hold back your feeling of fear
C. If you do need medication to get on a plane
D. Board your flight with plenty of distractions
E. Face your fear, repeatedly but in small doses
F. If you did almost anything but can’t avoid flights
G. That’s where I agree with because that experience is terrible
【答案】1. F 2. E 3. D 4. A 5. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何克服飞行恐惧,包括面对恐惧、分散注意力、接受恐惧和寻求医疗帮助等方法。
1. 根据上文“About 40% of Americans feel some fear at the thought of flying.(大约40%的美国人一想到坐飞机就感到害怕)”引出话题,提到很多人坐飞机感到害怕。以及下文“these tips can help.(这些建议会有所帮助)”提到有帮助的建议。由此可知,F项If you did almost anything but can’t avoid flights(如果你做了几乎所有的事情,但无法避免航班)起到承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
2. 由该题为段落小标题可知,为总结该段内容。该段下文“Exposure therapy is the idea that being exposed to something you’re afraid of over and over again calms down your limbic system so it doesn’t fire up as fast. That could mean less anxiety in the long run.(暴露疗法是指,一次又一次地暴露在你害怕的事物中,会让你的大脑边缘系统平静下来,这样它就不会那么快地兴奋起来。从长远来看,这可能意味着更少的焦虑)”可知,本段讲的是一次又一次地暴露在你害怕的事物中。由此可知,E项Face your fear, repeatedly but in small doses.(面对你的恐惧,反复但要从小做起)与本段主旨一致,能够总结该段内容。故选E项。
3. 根据上文“Try a crossword puzzle or Sudoku, read a really juicy romance novel or get through a pile of paperwork.(试试填字游戏或数独游戏,读一本有趣的浪漫小说,或者处理一堆文书工作)”可知,此处提到一些分散自己的注意力的方法。由此可知,D项Board your flight with plenty of distractions.(带着很多让你分心的东西登机)和上文意思一致,为对上文内容的语意递进,上下文紧密连接。故选D项。
4. 根据上文“During a rough flight, you might be to take slow, deep breaths to calm down. (在颠簸的飞行中,你可能需要缓慢地深呼吸来平静下来)”可知,此处提到遇到气流时的颠簸飞行。以及下文“It’s nearly impossible to stop your fight-or-flight response, once it’s been triggered.(一旦你的“战或逃”反应被触发,你几乎不可能停止这种反应)”说明你采取行为的结果。由此可知,A项But don’t try to stop the experience(但不要试图阻止这种体验)起到承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯,符合语境。故选A项。
5. 根据上文“There are medications pretty quickly taking down anxiety.(有些药物能很快消除焦虑)”以及下文“talk with your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist.(与你的初级保健医生或精神科医生谈谈)”可知,此处提到药物能很快消除焦虑。由此可知,C项If you do need medication to get on a plane(如果你确实需要药物才能上飞机)承接上文内容,同时和下文形成一句完整的话,上下文紧密连接,符合语境。故选C项。
(2024上·广东汕头·高三统考期末)How do we slow down and eat more deliberately And what are some techniques we can use to eat at a healthy pace 6 That’s when you use your senses to enjoy the food and notice how it makes you feel.
The first tip is to take at least 20 minutes to finish your meal. Very often we find ourselves eating while doing something else, and that can make us eat faster than we normally would. When you sit down to eat, spend about 20 minutes doing so. 7
8 Remove all distractions while you eat. They can interfere with your ability to enjoy your food and notice when you are full. Spend time to eat and only eat. Make sure your cell phone is face down and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Noticing all the little details about your food would have great benefits as well. 9 One way to slow down is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself: What’s on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell, the texture and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Instead of wolfing down, don’t forget to actually chew. If you’re inhaling (吸入) your food you’re probably not chewing it. 10 Look at each bite before popping it into your mouth, acknowledge what you’re eating and chew, chew, chew.
A. Putting your phone away is also advisable.
B. So, you’d better eat in a more healthy way.
C. Second, remove food that would make you distract.
D. Experts share helpful tips on how to eat more mindfully.
E. Experts suggest that chewing is an important part of digestion.
F. You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich.
G. It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.
【答案】6. D 7. G 8. A 9. F 10. E

(2024上·广东深圳·高三统考期末)You know the scene: A child runs downstairs in pajamas to unwrap her holiday presents and sheds joyful tears as she hugs a new puppy rescued from a shelter. The music builds up, hearts double in size and faith in humanity is restored. 11 Before taking that step, there are a few things to consider.
First is the element of surprise. The timing could be a surprise, but the animal should absolutely not be a surprise. The decision should be based on many conversations. Everyone involved should understand the long term consequences, children included. 12
Next, you’ll choose whether to adopt from a shelter or rescue. 13 They are across the country flooded with lovable animals. They also offer physical locations where you can meet a lot of animals at once. On the other hand, rescues are smaller and funded by donations. They often rely on fosters to house animals.
14 Applications and their processing times vary and can include tasks like proving that your landlord allows pets. Check to see if applying online is possible. If you’re applying in person, make sure you know what to bring.
If you’re worried about the huge responsibility of choosing the pet for your child, you can wrap a leash (牵引绳) or a pet bag as the gift, and then take the future pet owner to the shelter. 15 This step will be more meaningful and memorable than just having an animal show up at your door.
A. Now, you can welcome the lovely one with open arms.
B. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing your child smile.
C. Shelters tend to be larger and quicker to process applications.
D. Whichever you choose, apply and become approved as an adopter first.

15. 根据上文“If you’re worried about the huge responsibility of choosing the pet for your child, you can wrap a leash (牵引绳)or a pet bag as the gift, and then take the future pet owner to the shelter.(如果你担心为孩子选择宠物的责任巨大,你可以用牵引绳或宠物袋作为礼物,然后带未来的宠物主人去收容所。)”可知,作者建议可以让孩子参与收养动物的过程。选项F“Involving your child in the selection process adds to the whole experience.(让你的孩子参与到选择过程中会增加整个体验。)”与上文内容相符,指的是让孩子参与收养动物的过程。故选F。
(2024上·广东梅州·高三统考期末)Getting and staying focused can be a challenge even in the best of times. But with everything going on in the world, concentrating can often feel down-right impossible. Below are some tips to help you find your flow.
Distract (使分心) your brain. Schedule into every workday some breaks from all that focusing and allow your mind to travel into what’s called the “default (默认的) mode network” for a bit of freestyle activities. 16 . It’s the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind.

Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 18 . To help, turn off text messaging, notifications and social media alerts. Be vital when you want a deep dive into focus. Your important work benefits when you shut off or put away your phone and other screens.
Know your body clock. Whether you are sharp in the morning or a night owl, don’t spend your day — in particular your peak brain hours — doing busywork. 19 .
Try new hobbies. Engaging in hobbies not only is fun but can help us come up with new solutions to problems we’re facing at work or home. 20 .
A. Try to daydream what happened
B. We try to obtain focus but in vain
C. Engage in positive constructive daydreaming
D. Instead, reserve your best brain time for the big stuff
E. This network of the brain circuit is where magic happens
F. Our days are filled with distractions, from others and ourselves

Engaging with clay is a comforting activity that can reduce stress and anxiety. The focus and concentration required to sculpt clay can quiet the mind and promote relaxation. In addition to its healing benefits, making pottery provides a comforting sensory experience. 27 This process also involves repetitive motions such as throwing, shaping, and coloring, which can provide a sense of control and accomplishment, boosting self-confidence and reducing negative thoughts.
28 We may spend hours beautifying our pieces, choosing colors that speak to us, and hoping they will look as we envision after firing. Sometimes they do, especially for the fortunate or skilled. But often, we must learn to accept imperfection. As the experienced potter Meg Biddle puts it, "It’s finding that balance between control and unpredictability that gives me joy."
Creating with clay is an overall experience that engages our hands, fine motor skills, and imagination. It is an extension of ourselves, allowing us to shape the clay with raw emotions while making detailed decisions. 29
In conclusion, pottery offers countless benefits for our well-being, including stress relief, creative expression, and the ability to let go. As we transform clay into a beautifully finished piece of art, we also take a step closer to our own transformation. Pottery is not just an art form. 30
A. Working with clay means taking your time.
B. But pottery is more than just a creative pursuit.
C. It’s also a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

(2024上·广东深圳·高三统考期末)Beach is a relaxing place to catch waves, get some sun, enjoy picnic, spot wildlife and go exploring. Here are tips from experts on how to be a better beachgoer, so future generations of sea lovers can get their beach therapy (疗法) when they need it.
Use safer sunblock
Many sunblocks advertise that they are “reef-friendly”, which has no firm definitions, and their usage isn’t regulated by governmental bodies. 31 . Only purchase mineral-based sunscreens so that it won’t do harm to reefs.
Get involved
32 . If you forget to bring one, find an abandoned bag at the beach. It may seem a little gesture, but it will help remove rubbish. By working together people can really make a difference.
Thoughtful toys for kids
It’s fun for your little ones to play with plastic toys in the sand. 33 . They end up polluting the environment and can be accidentally eaten by animals, causing them serious harm on even killing them. Pack metal or wooden toys instead.
Read the signs
Signs at the beach aren’t optional reading. They tell you where you can’t go and what you can’t do, so you don’t mess with the local ecosystem. 34 . They are storm barriers and home to many animals.
Destroy what you build
It doesn’t matter how much time and effort your children spent building sand castles or digging tunnels: if you are on a beach marked as a sea turtle habitat, fill in the trench and knock down the structure. Sea turtles have heavy bodies and they can die if they fall into a hole and get trapped. 35 .
A. So it’s best to read the fine print carefully
B. Beach-goers are generally advised to stay off sand hills
C. Thus, try your best to be a considerate eco-friendly tourist
D. However, plastic toys break easily, leaving behind bits and pieces
E. Sand structures also can prevent them from reaching birthing areas

43 Just because there’s a sale running with a lower price, doesn’t mean you can scramble for the goods immediately. If you can wait, some price history websites are a great way to get a sense of any regularly occurring price variations. Certain items will have a life cycle too. Christmas cards and decorations are bargains in January while TVs tend to be at their lowest prices in the early summer when the newer models are released. 44 So this is only a strategy for non-essentials.
Check for alternatives. Finally, even if you think you’ve got the best price out there-or at least one you’re happy to pay-it’s worth checking you’re not overpaying still when compared to similar products. 45 . That could mean staying away from high-end brands, looking for secondhand items or trying a different but similar style.
A. Time when you buy.
B. Compare prices now.
C. Sadly, there are tricks played by retailers.
D. It’s easy to get caught up in sales and spend when you don’t need to.
E. The best way to avoid this is to create a must-have list before shopping.
F. There may well be cheaper substitutes that do the same job but cost less.
G. But you might have fewer options to choose from, or will even miss out.
【答案】41. C 42. E 43. A 44. G 45. F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了消费者在促销活动中保持明智的三种购物方法。
41. 根据上文“Shopping in the sales feels like a subtle way to spend. Lower prices naturally equal money saved.(在促销活动中购物感觉像是一种精明的消费方式,较低的价格自然就等于节省下来的钱。)”以及下文“Sometimes you think you’re getting a bargain, but actually you’re paying more than you need to.(有时你以为买到了便宜货,但实际上你付出的比你需要的更多。)”可知,两句之间需要承上启下的过渡句,C选项Sadly, there are tricks played by retailers.(遗憾的是零售商经常运用一些伎俩。)承上启下,同时下文与该句构成解释关系。故选C项。
42. 根据上文“You might have been tempted to buy a much higher item than you actually need, simply because we’re dazzled by the size of the discount.(你可能会被诱惑以更高的价格购入一件物品,仅仅因为我们被折扣的幅度弄得眼花缭乱。)”以及下文“You can even have a ‘need’ note which you add to regularly, allowing you to focus yours hopping during the sales.(你甚至可以有一个可定期添加的‘需要’便条,让你在促销活动期间专注于你的购物。)”可知,该处应为问题的解决办法。E选项The best way to avoid this is to create a must-have list before shopping(避免这种情况的最好方法是在购物前创建一个必备清单)符合语境,其中的this指代上文的be tempted to buy a much higher item than you actually need,且a must-have list与下文的note对应。故选E项。
43. 根据该空所处位置判断其应为简短祈使句结构的小标题。根据下文“Just because there’s a sale running with a lower price, doesn’t mean you can scramble for the goods immediately. (仅仅因为有降价的销售,并不意味着你可以立即抢购商品。)”以及“Christmas cards and decorations are bargains in January while TVs tend to be at their lowest prices in the early summer when the newer models are released.(圣诞卡和装饰品在一月份是便宜货,而电视往往在初夏新款发布时价格最低。)”可知,本段建议读者安排好购物的时间,以便获得更低的价格。A项“安排你的购物时间”可以作为小标题,总领全段。故选A项。
44. 根据下文“So this is only a strategy for non-essentials.(因此这只是一种针对非必需品的策略)”可知,这里降价只是一种促销方式,G选项But you might have fewer options to choose from, or will even miss out.(但你的选择会更少,甚至会错过。)符合语境,与下文构成因果关系,且与上文“诞卡和装饰品在一月份是便宜货,而电视往往在初夏新款发布时价格最低”承接自然,虽然价格便宜但选择更少。故选G项。
45. 根据下文“That could mean staying away form high-end brands, looking for secondhand items or trying a different but similar style.(这可能意味着放弃高端品牌,寻找二手货或尝试一同不同但相似的风格。)”可知,前句应为that指代的具体内容。F项There may well be cheaper substitutes that do the same job but cost less.(很可能有更便宜的替代品可以做同样的工作,但成本更低。)符合语境,其中的cheaper substitutes为本段小标题alternatives的复现,后文也举出例子secondhand items和a different but similar style。故选F项。
(2024·广东肇庆·统考二模)If you are seeking a job, you need to pay attention to your social media and online comments. 46 The following reminders may help you use social media well and grow your career.
Choose online platforms wisely.
47 Instead, decide on one specific platform where you know what to expect and where you can feel safe and supported, and then build your personal channel there. It’s often where people look first to find out more about you. Make it as a space to show the best reflection of you and a place to tell your story and how you want it to be told.
48
Know that people are watching-and it is not just your followers. Your potential clients and employers are paying attention, too. They want to learn about you and see if you are a good fit. The key is defining your professional image. Understand how you want to present yourself to the world, show what you want to be known for, and impress them with your best image.
Keep it clean and legal.
49 This is not to limit free speech but to set rules for a respectful, professional environment. Besides, knowing and understanding the basics of copyright law can help. For example, photos are protected by copyright from the moment they are taken, whether they are registered or not. It is OK to share online videos and photos with your friends, without asking for the owner’s permission and without paying fines. 50

G. They are open for any and all to see-including your future employers.
【答案】46. G 47. C 48. B 49. D 50. F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了选择在线平台方法和怎样维护的方法。
46. 由上文“If you are seeking a job, you need to pay attention to your social media and online comments. (如果你正在找工作,你需要关注你的社交媒体和网上评论。)”可知,本空要说跟“关注你的社交媒体和网上评论好处”有关的话题,故G选项“They are open for any and all to see-including your future employers. (它们向任何人开放,包括你未来的雇主。 )”能承接上文,符合题意。故选G。
47. 由本段小标题“Choose online platforms wisely. (明智地选择在线平台)”可知,本空要说跟“明智地选择在线平台”有关的话题,由后文“Instead, decide on one specific platform where you know what to expect and where you can feel safe and supported, and then build your personal channel there. (相反,选择一个特定的平台,在那里你知道会发生什么,你可以感到安全和支持,然后在那里建立你的个人渠道。)”可知,本句要表达不要每个在线平台都选,故C选项“You don’t have to register every online platform. (你不必注册每个在线平台。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
48. 由下文“Know that people are watching-and it is not just your followers. Your potential clients and employers are paying attention, too. They want to learn about you and see if you are a good fit. The key is defining your professional image. Understand how you want to present yourself to the world, show what you want to be known for, and impress them with your best image. (要知道,人们都在关注着你,而不仅仅是你的追随者。你的潜在客户和雇主也在关注你。他们想了解你,看看你是否合适。关键是定义你的职业形象。了解你想如何向世界展示自己,展示你想要的,用你最好的形象给他们留下深刻印象。)”可知,本空要说跟“个人形象”有关的话题,故B选项“Define your own personal image. (定义你自己的个人形象)”能总结段意,符合做本段小标题,符合题意。故选B。
49. 由本段小标题“Keep it clean and legal. (保持在线频道清洁和合法)”可知,本空要说跟“在线频道清洁和合法”有关的话题,由后文“This is not to limit free speech but to set rules for a respectful, professional environment. (这并不是要限制言论自由,而是要为一个相互尊重的专业环境制定规则。)”可知,本句要表达“在线频道规则”有关的话题,故D选项“Consider setting ground rules for your online channel. (考虑为您的在线频道设置基本规则。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选D。
50. 由上文“For example, photos are protected by copyright from the moment they are taken, whether they are registered or not. It is OK to share online videos and photos with your friends, without asking for the owner’s permission and without paying fines. (例如,照片从拍摄的那一刻起,无论是否注册,都受到版权的保护。与你的朋友分享在线视频和照片是可以的,不需要征得主人的同意,也不需要支付罚款。)”可知,本空要说跟“版权”有关的话题,故F选项“However, using them in your social media is against the copyright law.

七选五解题步骤
一、通读全文,对文章进行快速浏览,寻找主题句,抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。
在阅读过程中,要注意文章的开始与结束段落,尤其是文章的首段及末段末句,因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式,首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在,说明本文将探讨哪些内容,并简要指出文章的写作思路,有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
二、详读段落,在短时间内,找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。
文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开,对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词,明确其描述内容,为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句,标记关键词,关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组(如带有形容词的名词词组)、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子,圈定线索词,然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词,以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准,可先放过,继续往下读,先做容易的能做出的题,直到读完整篇文章。
三、定位选项,明确各备选选项的含义,抓住其关键词语。
根据文章整体结构与具体内容,将选项填入文中,填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时,要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容,以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处,看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系,是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。
四、通读复检,将所选答案代入文中,再次通读全文,重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后,应通读全文,检查文章内容是否完整,语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时,我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析,个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性,这时就需要我们认真分析,排除干扰,从而得出正确选项。
五、确定排除,研究多余选项,确定排除理由,最终确定答案。
七选五六大方略
高中英语阅读七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握,并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力。可以说,此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试。
从近五年七选五全国卷来看,说明文为主,几乎每年必考,应引起足够重视。
方略一 | 略读文章抓大意
以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句,以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别是however, but等后的内容)等重要部分,以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。事实上,一般只需花5~10秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。
方略二 | 重点阅读上下句
因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺,解题时大多只看上句,或只看下句,就可基本确定答案。事实上,如果没有时间来得及通读或细读,或者基础不够扎实即使读也读不懂,建议通过以下技巧,也基本上可以得满分。
方略三 | 看看结构变轻松
在解题过程中,除了每做一道有把握的题后就在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外,通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小,心情变得更加轻松,一般可将7个选项缩小到2~4个选项,碰对的机率大大提高。
方略四 | 词语复现显神功
作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时,与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现,这种现象叫词语复现。同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现;以同义词的形式重复出现,叫同义复现;以近义词或近义表达(意思相近,表达方式不同)的形式重复出现,叫近义复现;以词义相同而词性不同的形式重复出现,叫同根复现。还有上义词与下义词的复现(adult是teacher, parent的上义词,而teacher, parent就是adult的下义词)。
方略五 | 代词逻辑亦管用
我们知道,七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接,而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一,故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。
方略六 | 篇章需要基本功
有的题利用文章或段落的“总—分”结构关系来解,也很管用,但需要以下基本功:懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构通常是主题句(总)+支撑句(分)(分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等)。
七选五十大技巧
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有:however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者,或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。

(2023·新高考I卷)Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 36 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 37 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 38
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 39 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 40 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.

(2022·新高考I卷)Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “ 36 ” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit — your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.
D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport
E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice
F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.
G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information.

(2021·新高考I卷)My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 40 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.

Exposure therapy is the idea that being exposed to something you’re afraid of over and over again calms down your limbic system so it doesn’t fire up as fast. That could mean less anxiety in the long run.
During the night, distract yourself
When we’re really anxious, we can’t think straight. The key is to try to connect to your rational, thinking brain. When we really focus on thinking, like doing a math problem, our emotional brain calms down. Try a crossword puzzle or Sudoku, read a really juicy romance novel or get through a pile of paperwork. 3 .
If you hit turbulence (气流), don’t force yourself to calm down
During a rough flight, you might be to take slow, deep breaths to calm down. 4 . It’s nearly impossible to stop your fight-or-flight response, once it’s been triggered. Remind yourself that your body is having a normal response to a perceived threat.
Consult with a doctor about medication (冥想), if you feel you might need it
There are medications pretty quickly taking down anxiety. 5 , talk with your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist. Try to think of a medication that’s not just short-term, but something that can help you bring your baseline anxiety down.
A. But don’t try to stop the experience
B. Try to hold back your feeling of fear
C. If you do need medication to get on a plane
D. Board your flight with plenty of distractions

(2024上·广东汕头·高三统考期末)How do we slow down and eat more deliberately And what are some techniques we can use to eat at a healthy pace 6 That’s when you use your senses to enjoy the food and notice how it makes you feel.
The first tip is to take at least 20 minutes to finish your meal. Very often we find ourselves eating while doing something else, and that can make us eat faster than we normally would. When you sit down to eat, spend about 20 minutes doing so. 7
8 Remove all distractions while you eat. They can interfere with your ability to enjoy your food and notice when you are full. Spend time to eat and only eat. Make sure your cell phone is face down and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Noticing all the little details about your food would have great benefits as well. 9 One way to slow down is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself: What’s on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell, the texture and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Instead of wolfing down, don’t forget to actually chew. If you’re inhaling (吸入) your food you’re probably not chewing it. 10 Look at each bite before popping it into your mouth, acknowledge what you’re eating and chew, chew, chew.
A. Putting your phone away is also advisable.
B. So, you’d better eat in a more healthy way.
C. Second, remove food that would make you distract.
D. Experts share helpful tips on how to eat more mindfully.
E. Experts suggest that chewing is an important part of digestion.
F. You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich.
G. It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.
(2024上·广东深圳·高三统考期末)You know the scene: A child runs downstairs in pajamas to unwrap her holiday presents and sheds joyful tears as she hugs a new puppy rescued from a shelter. The music builds up, hearts double in size and faith in humanity is restored. 11 Before taking that step, there are a few things to consider.
First is the element of surprise. The timing could be a surprise, but the animal should absolutely not be a surprise. The decision should be based on many conversations. Everyone involved should understand the long term consequences, children included. 12
Next, you’ll choose whether to adopt from a shelter or rescue. 13 They are across the country flooded with lovable animals. They also offer physical locations where you can meet a lot of animals at once. On the other hand, rescues are smaller and funded by donations. They often rely on fosters to house animals.
14 Applications and their processing times vary and can include tasks like proving that your landlord allows pets. Check to see if applying online is possible. If you’re applying in person, make sure you know what to bring.
If you’re worried about the huge responsibility of choosing the pet for your child, you can wrap a leash (牵引绳) or a pet bag as the gift, and then take the future pet owner to the shelter. 15 This step will be more meaningful and memorable than just having an animal show up at your door.
A. Now, you can welcome the lovely one with open arms.
B. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing your child smile.
C. Shelters tend to be larger and quicker to process applications.
D. Whichever you choose, apply and become approved as an adopter first.
E. While it is sweet, giving a living creature as a gift isn’t a light decision.
F. Involving your child in the selection process adds to the whole experience.
G. Responsibilities can be assigned to them even before their new pet arrives.
(2024上·广东梅州·高三统考期末)Getting and staying focused can be a challenge even in the best of times. But with everything going on in the world, concentrating can often feel down-right impossible. Below are some tips to help you find your flow.
Distract (使分心) your brain. Schedule into every workday some breaks from all that focusing and allow your mind to travel into what’s called the “default (默认的) mode network” for a bit of freestyle activities. 16 . It’s the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind.
17 . This involves first turning your attention inward. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe it’s a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer your mind a fresh approach to the job at hand.
Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 18 . To help, turn off text messaging, notifications and social media alerts. Be vital when you want a deep dive into focus. Your important work benefits when you shut off or put away your phone and other screens.
Know your body clock. Whether you are sharp in the morning or a night owl, don’t spend your day — in particular your peak brain hours — doing busywork. 19 .
Try new hobbies. Engaging in hobbies not only is fun but can help us come up with new solutions to problems we’re facing at work or home. 20 .
A. Try to daydream what happened
B. We try to obtain focus but in vain
C. Engage in positive constructive daydreaming
D. Instead, reserve your best brain time for the big stuff
E. This network of the brain circuit is where magic happens

Only buy essentials. You might have been tempted to buy a much higher item than you actually need, simply because we’re dazzled by the size of the discount. So despite the savings made on the full price item, it’s actually a huge waste of cash. 42 You can even have a “need” note which you add to regularly, allowing you to focus your shopping during the sales.
43 Just because there’s a sale running with a lower price, doesn’t mean you can scramble for the goods immediately. If you can wait, some price history websites are a great way to get a sense of any regularly occurring price variations. Certain items will have a life cycle too. Christmas cards and decorations are bargains in January while TVs tend to be at their lowest prices in the early summer when the newer models are released. 44 So this is only a strategy for non-essentials.
Check for alternatives. Finally, even if you think you’ve got the best price out there-or at least one you’re happy to pay-it’s worth checking you’re not overpaying still when compared to similar products. 45 .

(2023上·广东深圳·高三校联考阶段练习)Talking to solve friendship problems
Sometimes our friends’ behaviour can offend us; sometimes we can see changes they need to make — but how do we tell them 81
It’s important to have solid evidence that there is indeed a problem. Evidence that can be agreed upon makes it easier for other people to recognise issues. 82 Psychologist Andrea Bonior suggests framing problems with “I”. Saying “I feel hurt that you spend less time with me” is less accusatory (责难的) than “You never spend time with me!” and is focused more clearly on the impact.
Staying calm is vital. 83 Bonior recommends that you should acknowledge the conversation could make you anxious. If you think about this yourself, it can help you focus on positive results. If you admit your anxiety to your friend, you will show a more human side. Another psychologist, Laura Brennan, points out how it’s important that we let go of our ego and don’t focus on the need to be proved right. This can help reduce tension.
84 We can lower the potential for conflict by listening to the other person and asking questions. Many experts recommend planning your words before having a conversation, so that you can say things in a way that avoids conflict. However, Bonior cautions against overplanning as this can stop you being flexible enough to genuinely follow and participate in the discussion.
Be realistic. Complicated problems are unlikely to be solved with one conversation. Consider what is possible in one discussion, and that it may be harder than you initially thought. 85
A. Plan ahead properly to make a better conversation.
B. Are there any ways to make difficult conversations easier
C. Learn to listen to carefully instead of merely blaming others.

E. Becoming tense might lead you to react badly and cause an argument.
F. Once you have proof, it’s important to highlight how it impacts us and others.

(2024·广东·统考二模)How to Succeed in a Job Interview
While most people want jobs, few look forward to being interviewed. Job interviews are stressful situations for even the most qualified candidates because applicants have only one opportunity to show that they will do better than the other applicants in the position they are seeking. 91
Applicants should research the company and learn about it as much as possible. They should not just focus on the department that may hire them. 92 Interviewers frequently ask the following questions, “What do you know about our company, and why would you like to work here ” To answer this kind of questions, applicants must have done sufficient research to understand the needs of the entire company.
93 The reason for this is quite clear. The interviewers are repeating the same questions to different candidates over several days, or even several weeks. 94 So, applicants should use this opportunity to impress the interviewers. They must recognize that the interviewers want to learn more about them, so they should give full, detailed, and unique answers to the questions.
Applicants should be careful about their non-verbal (非言语的) communication. Gestures, expressions and actions can speak a great deal louder than any words. For example, the interviewers notice an applicant glance at his or her watch or cell phone during an interview. 95
Although an applicant can never see precisely how an interview will go on, careful planning, detailed answers and attention to non-verbal communication will make the process of applying for a job more likely to be successful.
A. Instead, they should get to know the company as a whole.
B. They expect a good answer that they have never heard before.
C. Therefore, they need to pay attention to the way they use gestures.
D. To ensure a better chance for the job, consider the following advice.
E. To approach a job interview successfully, applicants should prepare well.
F. Applicants should consider ways to make their answers unique so that they will stand out.
