专题06 七选五12篇（最新一模真题）
（2024·河南·一模）Your alarm goes off on January 1. You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. 1 . After a moment, however, you think, “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day; there’s time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵) in diet. 2 . They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen 3 . While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Change involves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. 4 . But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like “I’m going to get in better shape this year”, make a specific one. For example, “I’m going to run for 30 minutes every day” would be far more powerful. Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. 5 , but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March.

B．Instinctively, you step back in horror

D．Many people’s plans involve grand measures
E．The answer is likely that we should be confident

G．In December it’s often justified by planning New Year’s resolutions

Research and choose the right competition. 6 Choose a competition at which you’ll excel, and make sure it’s far enough in the future that you have plenty of time to train effectively. Do some research into the judges and organizers as well to see what they look for in a winning competitor.

Plenty of people get scared off by a competition’s requirements and don’t enter in the first place. 7 Since you’ve done your research, you can be confident in your choice to compete and your potential to win. So, stand strong even when you have your doubts and when others may be dropping out.
Learn your competition. Remember that you’re not competing with everyone in the competition. There may be many applicants and candidates, but there will only be a few contenders（竞争者）and finalists. 8
Make a checklist. Everyone has different productivity styles. If it helps, consider making a training checklist. 9 A checklist is what weightlifters do, for example, to keep track of the exercises they’ve done, the number of reps, and the weight. With a written checklist, you also have one less thing to think and worry about.
10 Leave sticky notes on your mirror or car steering wheel. Write down anything motivational to keep you inspired. It doesn’t have to be specific. It can simply be, “You OWN the track today!” or “35.5 IS my time!”

（2024·河南濮阳·一模）No matter how friendly your tone is or how honey-sweet you are in a conversation, when you start your sentences with one of these words (or both), the message to your recipient is “You are wrong.” 11 They are “No” and “But”.
These words don’t say, “Let’s discuss this” or “I’d love to hear what you think about this” to people. They say. “You are wrong and I am right.” If your conversation companion is also eager to win at any cost, you will have a potential battle on your hands. The result 12
Are you interested in a little test to see how competitive your co-workers are Try this. For one week, keep a scorecard of how many times each person uses “No” or “But” to start a sentence. 13 And, if you drill a little
deeper, you’ll see patterns emerge. For instance, some people use these words to gain power. You’ll see how much people dislike it, consciously or not, and how it kills rather than opens up discussions.
14 Practically without even thinking, I keep count of their use of these two little words. It’s such an important indicator! If the numbers pile up in an initial meeting with a client. I’ll interrupt him or her and say. “We’ve been talking for almost an hour now, and do you realize that you have responded 17 times with either ‘No’ or ‘But’ ”
Stop trying to defend your position and start monitoring how many times you begin remarks with “No” or “But”. 15 For example, “That’s true, but…” (Meaning: You don’t really think it’s true at all.) Another expression is “Yes, but...” (Meaning: Prepare to be contradicted.)

（2024·四川巴中·一模）Have you ever fallen asleep in class There’s no need to be ashamed about dozing off in class. Studies have shown that people can only stay completely focused on something for a maximum of 10 minutes. 16 . This results in poor academic performance. In this article, you’ll discover 4simple strategies to feel energized and awake while in class.
Sleep the night before your class.
Students who doze in class often missed sleep the night before. 17 . Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and allow yourself time to relax before heading to bed by putting away your phone, homework, and other things that keep your mind active.
18 .
Most people have experienced the well-known “food coma” after eating a large meal, which results in a feeling of heaviness that drains your energy. This is particularly true if you eat certain foods, such as a meal that is high in carbohydrates.
Drink plenty of water, and bring some to class too.
Your blood concentration thickens due to a lack of fluid, resulting in the reduction of plasma (血浆) in the blood, which in turn makes your heart work harder to supply oxygen and nutrients to the body. Increase your water intake by consciously taking sips of water throughout the day. 19 .
Take notes.
Keep your attention on what’s going on in class by taking notes as the teacher gives the lecture. Taking notes is an effective way to stay awake in class. 20 Your brain will be engaged in class if you write down what is being said.

（2024·四川遂宁·一模）When people in your organization come to you to discuss a problem, you give them your best answer and probably assume you’ve helped them.
21 . You’re not being much help if you’re not really listening to them. We’re not talking about the mere act of listening, but the art of listening, known as active listening. How can you become a more effective listener Here are some tips:
Be present. 22 . There’re so many things that make you lose focus in the office many of them tech-related, like instant messaging and email—that you almost can’t help but half listen to anyone who speaks to you, whether it’s in person or by phone. What you need to do is purposefully practice active listening by bringing yourself fully into the conversation. 23 .
Give the other person your undivided attention. It shows respect and can have a positive impact on your entire exchange. It also means you’re less likely to misunderstand, or simply miss, what the person is saying to you. 24 when a customer or coworker is telling you about a problem you already know how to solve before they’ve finished speaking. But part of active listening means you need to let them complete their full “download” to you before you respond.
Understand nonverbal（非语言） changes. 25 , but good listeners will also sense what is not being said, as well as what is verbalized. Learning how to read physical cues, such as facial expressions, takes practice. Improving these active listening skills will help you get the message and resolve problems faster.
A．Well, it may not be that simple
B．Listening naturally means hearing
C．Of course, it’s easy to become impatient
D．Wait for an appropriate moment to politely ask a question
E．Be mindful and concentrate on the message, word for word
F．Truly hearing what the speaker has to say requires your full attention
G．Good active listening skills apply when you’re communicating with others
（2024·四川自贡·一模）Life is filled with many victories and downfalls. What matters is how you manage with each situation. May it be your love life or a serious life struggle, you must learn to move on. Here’s how you can create a new chapter in your life.
26
There is one common mistake that many of us make when dealing with a situation. We may try to go through it on our own. Landing in a sticky place is extremely worrying. To get out of this situation, you must ask others for help. When we talk about others, I refer to the people who you are close with. 27 . Humans are social beings and we have to interact with each other. Make sure that the interaction is actually beneficial in some way.
Let Go Of Your Past
To move on from every struggle and heartbreak, you must let go of the past, guilt, and anger. 28 . You may feel like justifying them but they are only going to use up your energy in the long run, so you have to avoid them. Forgive the people that have hurt you and start venturing towards the path of enlightenment.
Forgive Yourself And Begin Anew
29 . We must forgive ourselves so that we can easily begin the next chapter. We did our best in that time; it was certainly the right thing to do but it didn’t work out and that wasn’t your fault. Talk to yourself like a gentle teacher. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is what makes us humans. 30 .
Picture your goals in your mind and make sensible steps towards them with each passing day. Let nothing stand in your way.
A．Learn From Others
B．Avoid Making Mistakes
C．These could be your family and close friends
D．Positive thoughts help you make a new beginning easily
E．A warm and encouraging tone will help you out very much

（2024·四川内江·一模）Many people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. 31 . It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 32 . Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
33 . Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
34 .
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning chance. Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no fixed interpretation (解读) and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you. Just enjoy the process. 35 !
A．Just pick the book up
B．Allow the book to grow with you
C．It has some form of historical influence
D．Before you turn to page one, do some digging
E．Love for classics is obviously not at first sight
F．Never beat yourself up for not knowing something
G．Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t perfect, it’s still valuable
（2024·江西宜春·一模）Tips to Turn a Slow Start into Progress
Good health is the most important thing in life, outranking money, education and career. But good health isn’t a gift. 36 . If you’re feeling a bit stuck on your New Year’s resolutions, we’ve got tips.
Embrace optimism
37 . Researchers found there’s a strong link between optimism and healthy behaviors. Optimistic people tend to have specific goals and the confidence to reach them. Even if you have a tendency to see the glass half empty, optimism can be learned by imagining your best possible self. Practicing optimism may make you better at it and help you reach your goals.
38
If you aim to eat better or drink less, your chances of success are higher if the people around you are on board too. People are more likely to reach body weight goals and maintain weight loss if they’re not alone. And our moods can be influenced too. So it’s helpful to surround yourself with like-minded people and make positive changes in live.
Make small changes in habits
It’s easy to wish for the new fitness breakthrough that can help us to great health. 39 . It’s believed that these six habits are tied to a reduced risk of everything from heart disease to dementia: good sleep, eating well, staying active, limiting alcohol, cutting sedentary (久坐不动的) screen time and developing friendships and social connections. A recent study found people who followed most of these habits cut the risk of depression by more than 50%.
Say no to more things
Time is our most precious resource. 40 . If we live an average life span (寿命), we’re on this planet for only about 4,000 weeks. That means every day is very precious if we’re serious about accomplishing new tricks. Do you actually want to commit to starting now If so, ask yourself this: What can I say no to today to clear the time to
accomplish my goal
A．Find a group
B．Reset your mind
C．If you begin with a slow start this year, be positive
D．We need to set the goals that are right and suitable for us
E．We have to work for it and the older we get, the more challenges arise
F．To make time for something new, we’ve got to stop doing something else
G．But the reality is that our daily practice shapes our health a lot more than we might realize
（2024·江西鹰潭·一模）Making the decision to invest in healthy lifestyle changes is more than just flipping a switch. 41 . Psychologists have found that it takes an average of 66 days for a new habit to become automatic, but the truth is that building and maintaining lifestyle changes is highly dependent on each individual. However, there are some easy strategies that can help you develop a lifestyle change plan that works for you.
Focus on the whole picture. Lifestyle changes are like a puzzle. There are many pieces that must add up to the whole picture. Building habits in only one area of the puzzle will leave your overall picture lacking dimension. 42 , so it is important to understand how they all interact when setting up your lifestyle change plan.
Set realistic and achievable goals. 43 , focus on setting goals that are realistic. Instead of expecting to run a marathon in six months, shoot for running a 5-kilometer race then work up to the marathon. Setting realistic goals that you can achieve and then building on them will help you maintain momentum (动力)and stay motivated.
44 Building habits takes time. Be patient with yourself and understand that the fastest way forward isn’t always the smartest way forward. The goal in creating lifestyle changes isn’t to get to the finish line as quickly as possible. The goal is to build habits that are sustainable in your everyday life. 45 .
A．Track your progress and adjust your goals accordingly
B．Adopt new habits slowly and build on success
C．Therefore, focus on building one habit at a time
D．The goals you set for yourself are essential for overall success in changing your lifestyle
E．Making sustainable lifestyle changes is a process that takes time, dedication, and patience
F．So, give yourself time to start small and build on success so that the end result is rock solid
G．Your physical, mental, and emotional health all work together to make or break lifestyle changes
（2024·江西南昌·一模）Traditional measures of success often prioritize academic achievements and job-specific knowledge, but recent research has shown that emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of success and well-being than IQ alone. 46 .
Picture this: you’re a leader with high EQ. Your team looks up to you because you inspire them, drive productivity and make decisions that take everyone’s emotions into account. You find win-win solutions that keep the team united if conflicts arise. 47 . In a world that values cooperation and innovation, emotional intelligence is a must-have skill.
Consider how EQ can supercharge your career. First up: self-awareness. It’s like having a spotlight on your emotions, strengths, and weaknesses. When you truly understand yourself, you can make better decisions and set meaningful goals. 48 . It’s like having an empathy radar (共情雷达). When you’re aware of others’ emotions and perspectives, you can build better relationships, collaborate effectively, and be a better team player.
49 . EQ can have a huge impact on our personal lives as well. In personal relationships, it’s a key to deeper connections. By understanding others’ emotions, you build strong bonds and communicate effectively. With EQ, you engage in more self-reflection, continuous learning, and the adaptability to grow as an individual.
It’s time to shift our perspective and embrace emotional intelligence as a critical component of success. 50 . Go ahead and release our full potential.
A．Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress.
B．Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ.
C．Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls.
D．By understanding others’ emotions, you can build strong bonds.
E．It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth.
F．You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place.
G．By recognizing its importance, we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives.

专题06 七选五12篇（最新一模真题）
（2024·河南·一模）Your alarm goes off on January 1. You force yourself out of bed and drag your feet toward the bathroom, where you glimpse a pale-faced stranger in the mirror. 1 . After a moment, however, you think, “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day; there’s time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵) in diet. 2 . They often revolve around turning oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of them are abandoned before February. How does that happen 3 . While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Change involves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. 4 . But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like “I’m going to get in better shape this year”, make a specific one. For example, “I’m going to run for 30 minutes every day” would be far more powerful. Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. 5 , but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March.
A．Change takes time and effort
B．Instinctively, you step back in horror
C．It’s probably related to self-discipline
D．Many people’s plans involve grand measures
E．The answer is likely that we should be confident
F．New Year is a great time to be with family and friends
G．In December it’s often justified by planning New Year’s resolutions
（2024·河南南阳·一模）Entering competitions can be fun, and it’s a good way to hone（磨炼）your skills. While you can’t expect to win every time, you can increase your chances of winning with the right strategy and preparation. These are general tips that can be applied to your competition of choice.
Research and choose the right competition. 6 Choose a competition at which you’ll excel, and make sure it’s far enough in the future that you have plenty of time to train effectively. Do some research into the judges and organizers as well to see what they look for in a winning competitor.
Don’t psych yourself out. Plenty of people get scared off by a competition’s requirements and don’t enter in the first place. 7 Since you’ve done your research, you can be confident in your choice to compete and your potential to win. So, stand strong even when you have your doubts and when others may be dropping out.
Learn your competition. Remember that you’re not competing with everyone in the competition. There may be many applicants and candidates, but there will only be a few contenders（竞争者）and finalists. 8
Make a checklist. Everyone has different productivity styles. If it helps, consider making a training checklist. 9 A checklist is what weightlifters do, for example, to keep track of the exercises they’ve done, the number of reps, and the weight. With a written checklist, you also have one less thing to think and worry about.
10 Leave sticky notes on your mirror or car steering wheel. Write down anything motivational to keep you inspired. It doesn’t have to be specific. It can simply be, “You OWN the track today!” or “35.5 IS my time!”

（2024·四川遂宁·一模）When people in your organization come to you to discuss a problem, you give them your best answer and probably assume you’ve helped them.

Be present. 22 . There’re so many things that make you lose focus in the office many of them tech-related, like instant messaging and email—that you almost can’t help but half listen to anyone who speaks to you, whether it’s in person or by phone. What you need to do is purposefully practice active listening by bringing yourself fully into the conversation. 23 .
Give the other person your undivided attention. It shows respect and can have a positive impact on your entire exchange. It also means you’re less likely to misunderstand, or simply miss, what the person is saying to you. 24 when a customer or coworker is telling you about a problem you already know how to solve before they’ve finished speaking. But part of active listening means you need to let them complete their full “download” to you before you respond.
Understand nonverbal（非语言） changes. 25 , but good listeners will also sense what is not being said, as well as what is verbalized. Learning how to read physical cues, such as facial expressions, takes practice. Improving these active listening skills will help you get the message and resolve problems faster.

26
There is one common mistake that many of us make when dealing with a situation. We may try to go through it on our own. Landing in a sticky place is extremely worrying. To get out of this situation, you must ask others for help. When we talk about others, I refer to the people who you are close with. 27 . Humans are social beings and we have to interact with each other. Make sure that the interaction is actually beneficial in some way.
Let Go Of Your Past
To move on from every struggle and heartbreak, you must let go of the past, guilt, and anger. 28 . You may feel like justifying them but they are only going to use up your energy in the long run, so you have to avoid them. Forgive the people that have hurt you and start venturing towards the path of enlightenment.
Forgive Yourself And Begin Anew
29 . We must forgive ourselves so that we can easily begin the next chapter. We did our best in that time; it was certainly the right thing to do but it didn’t work out and that wasn’t your fault. Talk to yourself like a gentle teacher. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is what makes us humans. 30 .

（2024·四川内江·一模）Many people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. 31 . It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 32 . Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
33 . Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
34 .
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning chance. Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no fixed interpretation (解读) and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you. Just enjoy the process. 35 !
A．Just pick the book up
B．Allow the book to grow with you
C．It has some form of historical influence
D．Before you turn to page one, do some digging

（2024·江西宜春·一模）Tips to Turn a Slow Start into Progress
Good health is the most important thing in life, outranking money, education and career. But good health isn’t a gift. 36 . If you’re feeling a bit stuck on your New Year’s resolutions, we’ve got tips.
Embrace optimism
37 . Researchers found there’s a strong link between optimism and healthy behaviors. Optimistic people tend to have specific goals and the confidence to reach them. Even if you have a tendency to see the glass half empty, optimism can be learned by imagining your best possible self. Practicing optimism may make you better at it and help you reach your goals.
38
If you aim to eat better or drink less, your chances of success are higher if the people around you are on board too. People are more likely to reach body weight goals and maintain weight loss if they’re not alone. And our moods can be influenced too. So it’s helpful to surround yourself with like-minded people and make positive changes in live.
Make small changes in habits
It’s easy to wish for the new fitness breakthrough that can help us to great health. 39 . It’s believed that these six habits are tied to a reduced risk of everything from heart disease to dementia: good sleep, eating well, staying active, limiting alcohol, cutting sedentary (久坐不动的) screen time and developing friendships and social connections. A recent study found people who followed most of these habits cut the risk of depression by more than 50%.
Say no to more things
Time is our most precious resource. 40 . If we live an average life span (寿命), we’re on this planet for only about 4,000 weeks. That means every day is very precious if we’re serious about accomplishing new tricks. Do you actually want to commit to starting now If so, ask yourself this: What can I say no to today to clear the time to
accomplish my goal

（2024·江西鹰潭·一模）Making the decision to invest in healthy lifestyle changes is more than just flipping a switch. 41 . Psychologists have found that it takes an average of 66 days for a new habit to become automatic, but the truth is that building and maintaining lifestyle changes is highly dependent on each individual. However, there are some easy strategies that can help you develop a lifestyle change plan that works for you.
Focus on the whole picture. Lifestyle changes are like a puzzle. There are many pieces that must add up to the whole picture. Building habits in only one area of the puzzle will leave your overall picture lacking dimension. 42 , so it is important to understand how they all interact when setting up your lifestyle change plan.
Set realistic and achievable goals. 43 , focus on setting goals that are realistic. Instead of expecting to run a marathon in six months, shoot for running a 5-kilometer race then work up to the marathon. Setting realistic goals that you can achieve and then building on them will help you maintain momentum (动力)and stay motivated.
44 Building habits takes time. Be patient with yourself and understand that the fastest way forward isn’t always the smartest way forward. The goal in creating lifestyle changes isn’t to get to the finish line as quickly as possible. The goal is to build habits that are sustainable in your everyday life. 45 .
A．Track your progress and adjust your goals accordingly
B．Adopt new habits slowly and build on success
C．Therefore, focus on building one habit at a time
D．The goals you set for yourself are essential for overall success in changing your lifestyle

F．So, give yourself time to start small and build on success so that the end result is rock solid
G．Your physical, mental, and emotional health all work together to make or break lifestyle changes

You find win-win solutions that keep the team united if conflicts arise. 47 . In a world that values cooperation and innovation, emotional intelligence is a must-have skill.

When you truly understand yourself, you can make better decisions and set meaningful goals. 48 . It’s like having an empathy radar (共情雷达). When you’re aware of others’ emotions and perspectives, you can build better relationships, collaborate effectively, and be a better team player.
49 . EQ can have a huge impact on our personal lives as well. In personal relationships, it’s a key to deeper connections. By understanding others’ emotions, you build strong bonds and communicate effectively. With EQ, you engage in more self-reflection, continuous learning, and the adaptability to grow as an individual.

21．上文“When people in your organization come to you to discuss a problem, you give them your best answer and probably assume you’ve helped them.(当组织中的人来找你讨论问题时，你会给他们最好的答案，并可能认为你已经帮助了他们)”提到，当别人找你讨论问题时，你给出最好的答案，你可能认为自己已经帮助了他们，结合下文“You’re not being much help if you’re not really listening to them.(如果你没有认真听他们说话，你就没有帮上什么忙)”提到如果没有认真听他们讲话，你其实就没有帮上什么忙，故上文提到的“你可能认为你已经帮助了他们”并不正确，A项“好吧，事情可能没那么简单”符合上下文逻辑关系，故选A。

24．下文“But part of active listening means you need to let them complete their full ‘download’ to you before you respond.(但积极倾听的一部分意味着，在你回应之前，你需要让他们完成完整的‘下载’)”提到，在作出回应之前，要让别人把话说完，空处与下文是转折关系，故是提及别人话还没说完就有所回应的情况，结合空后“when a customer or coworker is telling you about a problem you already know how to solve before they’ve finished speaking(当客户或同事还没说完就告诉你一个你已经知道如何解决的问题时)”可知，C项“当然，你很容易变得不耐烦”符合语境，故选C。
25．根据空后“but good listeners will also sense what is not being said, as well as what is verbalized(但好的倾听者也会感觉到什么是没有说出来的，以及用语言表达出来的内容)”可知，空处与下文是转折关系，所以空处是说倾听者只听到别人说出来的内容，B项“倾听自然意味着听见的内容”符合语境，故选B。
