第19斩 七选五12篇(最新二模真题)
(2024·江苏南京·二模)Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk stories of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people.
Most of us don’t have a musical instrument that ties us together, but we have someone in our lives who’s the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it’s a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request. 1 .What’s the best way to get a baby to sleep Where do I come from What’s my moral compass The stories provide an answer, and it’s useful to speak with someone who knows how things are done.
2 Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species whales returning to parts of the sea that they’d abandoned a generation before; monkeys that communicate hunting skills to their offspring (后代). Folk knowledge is not only culture, it’s also survival. 3
Traditionally, we share it in small units—families sharing around a dinner table. 4 Look at any social median, and you’ll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It’s exploded as we’re trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case, chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation.
But we don’t gather once a year to reality check our “folk stories” as the Mande people do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The internet has no reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm(节奏). 5
A.It’s just chaos.
B.This is why we do it.
C.Human wisdom has been passed down through generations.
D.The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts.
E.Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks.
F.Now the internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips.
G.Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn’t limited to humans.
(2024·重庆·二模)Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life.
6 Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse.
People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. 7 Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well.
8 Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. 9
The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. 10 The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media.
A.Anticipation itself is pleasurable.
B.Decrease unnecessary socializing.
C.Find someone to call or FaceTime.
D.This “growth mindset” helps people stay energized.
E.Facebook and Instagram often overstate how much better off others are.
F.Nothing is more important for our psychological health than high-quality friendships.
G.They recover from illnesses more quickly, live longer, and enjoy more enriched lives.
(2024·湖北·二模)Autonomy-supportive parenting is an approach that focuses on building a child’s sense of agency in the world as well as a strong sense of self. 11 We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults. Therefore, instead of pushing adults’ way of thinking on children, adults should let kids do their own critical thinking and solve problems themselves, which will help them trust their abilities.
Guide kids to find their own solution
As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently. 12 While one child may find it easy to start their homework independently, the other might not be a self-starter. So we push our kids to the next level by knowing their skill level and meeting them there.
Let kids find their own fun
13 It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times. That’s a huge burden on us! Letting children find their own thing to do when boredom strikes allows them to become self-sufficient and use their imagination to find fun on their own.
Being sympathetic doesn’t mean giving in
Another characteristic of autonomy-supportive parenting is being open, curious, and flexible. Trusting children to be accountable to themselves (or acting like it) is the only way you will know if your child will be a responsible, independent adult. For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds. 14
Don’t forget to support yourself
Once you grasp autonomy-supportive parenting, you’ll see opportunities to put it into practice. No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy. 15 If you get hard on yourself because you’re not measuring up, you’re more likely to return to the controlling practices.
A.It may work.
B.Our kids don’t know how to manage boredom.
C.That can mean we have to support them in different ways.
D.So forgive yourself if things don’t go right on a particular day.
E.And they may not know yet, but it’s good for them to think about it.
F.Some days are just going to be more autonomy-supportive than others.
G.It’s trying to understand children’s experience of what’s going on right now.
(2024·浙江绍兴·二模)Dear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful, scary but exciting. 16
Do not panic if, like me, you do not make friends on the first day or week. Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there was something wrong with me. 17 Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why the friendships I had forced did not work out. It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there. 18
So, dear Fresher, as I say welcome to university life, I am also saying, give yourself time-to understand your school, your course, and your new rhythm of life. Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in.
19 Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe- to discover amazing cultures, new accents, and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in order to become.
Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really quickly. 20 Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or joining the dance troupe.
So, dear Fresher, go forward, and leave your mark! You will be surprised at how much experience that will contribute to your CV.
A.It is a big turn on the pages of your life.
B.Extracurricular activities build confidence.
C.I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes.
D.It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people.
E.That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make.
F.While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are.
G.Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time.
(2024·江西九江·二模)If you identify as a people-pleaser, you might feel like it’s impossible to change. Well-meaning friends can try to encourage you to just be yourself, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake that urge to keep everyone happy. 21 Tell people-pleasing from being polite
22 To be able to tell the difference, you should look at the amount of tension you feel. For example, when you see a friend finish his water and you refill his cup, that can come out of normal sensitivity to other people’s needs if you feel relaxed when you do it. But if you notice a sense of pressure, like something bad will happen if you don’t refill their drink, then you’re operating from anxiety and fear. 23
Lots of times, people who try to please other people are extremely quick to react in social settings. They know what to say right away and they move into care taking immediately. 24 One subtle but powerful technique to change your habit is to deliberately delay your reactions, connect with yourself and then try to have the interaction out of an authentic part of yourself.Be ready for relationships to change or end
As you slowly start to become aware of your needs and even state them out loud, it can bring in some essential changes in your relationships. You might realize that as you mature, some friendships are not as rewarding or even as equal as you would like them to be. 25 If you have an emotionally immature friend, it’s up to you to decide if you want to leave the friendship or use that relationship as an opportunity for mutual growth, if the other person also seems interested in changing.
A.So, it’s time to end the relationship.
B.Change your habits and please yourself.
C.Slow down and check in with yourself before reacting.
D.This could be because, since childhood, they have developed this habit.
E.However, that doesn’t mean you always have to cut people out of your life.
F.Therefore, here’s how to slowly stop people-pleasing and start being yourself.
G.General polite behavior to one person can be people-pleasing to someone else.
(2024·内蒙古包头·二模)We all want to know what happiness means and try to find ways to help make our life better. Happiness—you know it when you see it, but it’s hard to define. You might call it a sense of well-being, optimism or meaningfulness in life, although those could also be treated separately. 26 we know that we want it, and that is just somehow good.
We also know that we don’t always have control over our happiness. Research suggests that genetics may play a big role in our level of happiness, so some of us may start out at a disadvantage. On top of that, environmental factors can bring down mood and dry up our thirst for living. 27 . Many studies have found a connection between psychological and physical well-being.
A 2022 review of more than 200 studies found a connection between positive psychological features, such as happiness, optimism and life satisfaction, and a lowered risk of heart disease.
28 . If you have a good sense of well-being, it’s easier to maintain good habits: exercising, eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep.
29 , and they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect. But some researchers believe that positive mental states do have a direct effect on the body, perhaps by reducing damaging physical processes. For instance, they found that optimism is associated with lower levels of inflammation (炎症).
If what you mean by happiness is specifically “enjoyment of life”, there’s newer evidence to support that, too. A study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that people aged 60 and over who said they enjoyed life less were more likely to develop disability over an 8-year period. 30 . This study does not prove that physical problems are caused by less enjoyment of life, but suggests a relationship.
A.But whatever happiness really is.
B.It might take more work if your mood is low.
C.For now these studies can only show associations.
D.That refers to the person, and the situation he or she is in.
E.Being able to travel around was also related to enjoyment of life.
F.To manage our emotions is important for both our body and mind.
G.It’s not as simple as “you must be happy to prevent heart attacks”, though.
(2024·四川雅安·二模)If you’re considering changing careers, here are some steps to guide you through a change in your career path.
Take a personal inventory (清单). Consider your reactions to your current job and how they impact your job satisfaction. 31 , when you have time. Ask yourself tough questions like, “What is it about my job that I do or don’t like ” Answer them, then read your answers. From your own notes, you’ll begin to see a picture of what job satisfaction looks like for you.
Decide if you want to change industries. 32 , though you are discovering more about yourself and what satisfactory work means to you. For some, switching careers might mean starting over in a completely new industry, while others may seek a new occupation within the same one.
33 . With your career shift narrowed down to a few job types you may take, you’re able to begin more extensive exploration. One way to learn more about a field of interest is to conduct informational interviews with people in that field. 34 .
Make an action plan. Creating your action plan means defining a clear goal and milestones (里程碑) to complete it. By this point, you’ve done all the research and should be able to narrow your career change to a specific occupation. 35 . Think about things like education and certification, skill development, attending networking events and seizing opportunities to practice within the specific industry or field. Write down what steps you plan to take and a timeline to completion.
A.Research potential job matches
B.Ask others in your professional network
C.It’s time to consider what it will take to get there
D.Write down notable events and how they make you feel

F.You should also define in what way you want to change career paths
G.For example, if you’re into IT industry, talk to those who are experts in this area
(2024·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·二模)You already know that playing sports helps keep you fit. But you might not know why it’s so important to get a sports physical at the beginning of your sports season.
36 Most require students have a sports physical before they can play school sports. But even if a sports physical isn’t required, doctors still recommend getting one if you are active in any sports.
A sports physical can help find out and deal with health problems that might affect your sports performance or increase the chance of getting hurt. For example, if you have frequent asthma (哮喘) attacks, the doctor can change your medicines. 37 Your doctor may offer training tips or recommend exercises or physical therapy (疗法) to help you avoid injuries.
Most teens go to their regular doctor’s office to get a sports physical, since your doctor knows you and your health history best. Some get their sports physical at school. 38 Each one is armed with a medical professional who does a specific part of the physical exam.
Plan your sports physical at least 6 weeks before your sports season starts. 39 Neither you nor your doctor will be very happy if your sports physical is the day before baseball practice starts and it turns out there’s something that needs to be taken care of before you can suit up.
Sports physicals are usually good for 1 year, though you probably will have to complete a sports form each season. If there are any changes in your health history, like a new injury or you notice new symptoms (症状), you may need to see the doctor before being allowed to play. 40 .
A.That way, you can breathe more easily when you run.
B.Let your gym teacher or coach know if your health has changed.
C.During school physicals, you may go to “stations” set up in the gym.
D.The medical history questions are usually on a form that you can bring home.
E.Mention you need a sports physical so your doctor can set aside time to do both.
F.The sports history and exam help to tell if it’s safe for you to take part in your sport.
G.If your doctor finds a problem, this should leave enough time to for tests or treatment.

(2024·广东韶关·二模)Daily Habits to Help You Get Healthier in 2024
Many of us hope to make changes for the better for the new year, and health goals tend to be at the top of that list. Sometimes New Year’s wishes require some sacrifices. 46 Below are some achievable daily habits that keep your overall health.
Prioritize sleep.
Your body needs time not only to rest and recharge, but also to do important work like learning new things. Experts suggest teenagers should get at least eight hours sleep each day. If this is a challenge for you, turn to your circadian rhythm, which tells you the right time to sleep and wake up. 47 Just go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
Take a break from electronics.

49
Your healthy habits can also be fun and rewarding. What have you always wanted to do Your answer to that question might point you toward a new hobby to explore in 2024. And getting into it can help you reduce stress and boost mental well-being. Plus, some hobbies can get you moving, boosting your physical and mental health. 50

G.Maybe playing basketball or doing yoga will be a good choice.
(2024·河北·二模)Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking. The following are four habits of super communicators.
They know what kind of conversation they’re having. Super communicators are usually able to respond accordingly. If you’re having a practical conversation, your friend might ask you to help make hard decisions. 51 If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need to be a good listener.
They prove they’re listening. There are plenty of ways to appear like you’re listening, like making eye contact or nodding. To do that, experts suggest a technique called “cycle for understanding”. Ask a question and listen to the response. Repeat what they just told you. Ask your conversation partner if you got what they said correct. 52
They ask a lot of the right questions. Research shows that highly effective communicators tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else. They may simply be follow-up questions like “What happened next ”. Super communicators also ask questions that get people to open up. 53 They ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for emotional connection.
54 The goal of a discussion isn’t to impress someone, convince someone or wait for their turn to speak. It’s to genuinely comprehend someone else’s point of view and share their own views accordingly. The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both parties can benefit from. 55
A.They aim to understand.
B.Experts call them “deep questions”.
C.They are persuasive communicators.
D.The decisions should be easy to carry out.
E.This practice sounds simple but is powerful.
F.Then you should be ready to give good advice.
G.And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen.

22.后文“To be able to tell the difference, you should look at the amount of tension you feel. For example, when you see a friend finish his water and you refill his cup, that can come out of normal sensitivity to other people’s needs if you feel relaxed when you do it. But if you notice a sense of pressure, like something bad will happen if you don’t refill their drink, then you’re operating from anxiety and fear.(为了能够分辨出来,你应该看看你感受到的紧张程度。例如,当你看到一个朋友喝完他的水,你给他续杯,如果你在做这件事的时候感到放松,这可能是出于对他人需求的正常敏感。但如果你注意到一种压力感,比如如果你不给他们续杯就会发生不好的事情,那么你就是在焦虑和恐惧中行事)”举例说明从一件事的情感上感知这件事到底是正常敏感还是压力感,结合标题“将取悦别人和礼貌分辨开来”可知,G选项“对一个人的一般礼貌行为可能是取悦别人”表示对别人好有可能是取悦别人,下文讲到要正确区分,语境一致。故选G。
