【典题示例】
· 37
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 38 Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
·Recall(回忆)your childhood memories
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
【思路分析】本题考查对段落小标题的选择。首先根据下文的另一个小标题· Recall(回忆)your childhood memories(祈使句), 可以将选择范围缩小到A项和B项之间, 再根据段落中的there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years. 可以发现该段主要是分析从事园艺的原因, 故选 A 。

策略3:瞻前顾后, 确定段落过渡句
【典题示例】 (2021·全国甲卷·节选)
Swap, Don’t Shop!

Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources (资源) to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor
16 . It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

【思路分析】本题考查段落总结句。前面提到Paulo Magalhaes 喜欢世界各地明信片的内容“罗马圆形大剧场的彩色图片, 或者是非洲维多利亚瀑布, 或者是中国的长城”, 设空处对上文进行总结“总之, 他喜欢明信片……”。故选 G 。
策略2:利用段落过渡句确定答案
【典题示例】

策略1:原词复现法
【典题示例】 (2021·全国乙卷·节选)
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬). 40 .

策略2:代词复现法
it可指代单数名词、不可数名词或整个句子; they或them指代复数名词; one指代单数可数名词; that指代不可数名词或句子; this指代单数名词或句子; these或those指代前句的复数名词。还有反身代词、指示代词、关系代词等。
【典题示例】 (2021·全国乙卷·节选)

If you ask the question “How did you get here ”(如果你问“你怎么来的 ”)符合语境。故选 C 。
策略3:派生复现法
【典题示例】
40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside.

【思路分析】本题考查派生复现。下文中的“beneficial”与 D 项中的“benefit”属于同根词, 属于派生词重复信息。
策略4:同义复现法
【典题示例】 (2021·新高考Ⅰ卷·节选)

Let us look at what makes an effective persuasive speech.
Choose a good topic.
First, you should choose a topic you know something about or have researched well to prepare for your speech. Make sure it is a subject about which people have different opinions. 1
It is also best to choose a subject your listeners care about or can act on. 2 You can expect that they care about how the town appears, or that they can change their actions. So, giving a speech about why littering harms your town’s appearance might persuade people who do it to stop.
3
You should consider your listeners as you plan your speech. What do they value Thinking of the things your listeners value will help you form arguments in your speech. If you want them to stop eating unhealthy foods, for example, you may appeal to the value of their appearance. You will talk about how healthy foods result in good-looking skin and an attractive body.
Prepare your argument.
4 We use Greek words to describe them because the ancient Greeks developed and appealed to these ideas. They are:
Ethos—appeal to the listeners’ ethics or morals.
Pathos—appeal to the listeners’ emotions.
Logos—appeal to the listeners’ logic or intelligence.
Organize your speech.
You should make an outline of your speech. Start with an attention-getting statement. Then explain your main idea and give evidence to support your argument. List the points you want to make and think of how to answer arguments against your position.
Finish with a call to action—what do you want your listeners to do 5 Do not plan to read the speech word-for-word from a paper.
A. Know your audience.
B. Make the theme clear.
C. What will you do if you fail
D. Do you see people in your town littering
E. It would not be logical to speak about a fact recognized by everybody.
F. There are three common ways to persuade people of your way of thinking.
G. Finally, practice at home until you need only a note card with your main points on it when you give the speech.

Have you imagined making an attractive garden which will be the reason for your neighbors’ envy
6 But not every one of them has the talent for making it happen. However, if there’s one thing they DO know, it’s how to make a simple cup of tea. As for the used teabags, most of them find they’re on the landfill site, but no longer! Your used teabag can work wonders in your garden by your simply burying it. 7 Continue to read what it does.
If you have ever tried to grow some seedlings (幼苗), then you know that this can be quite challenging. Not all seeds can grow into seedlings, even though you have tried so hard. But don’t worry. Here is good news. 8 And what you need just involves a used teabag.
By burying a teabag in your garden, you will provide nutrition to the soil, offering necessary food to the plants. In this way, your plants will be healthier and grow quicker. This is because tea works as a natural fertilizer (肥料) for the soil. The teabag itself is usually made from fibres from the abaca plant, which is a type of banana plant. The bag breaks down with its contents. 9
If you bury a teabag close to the roots of your plants, it will help store water in the soil. If there’s one thing important for plants, it’s water! What’s more, weeds are not wanted in your garden. 10 By burying a used teabag in the earth, you’ll make it a lot harder for the weeds to grow alongside your healthy plants.
A. A teabag is a great answer.
B. It does work though it sounds strange.
C. Making a beautiful garden requires efforts.
D. A beautiful garden is something most people enjoy.
E. There is one way to help your seedlings grow better.
F. A simple teabag is likely to do wonders for your seeds.
G. That will create a healthy environment for plants to grow in.

(2023·四川巴中·统考一模)Friendship is a practice of unconditional love, an opportunity to grow together towards fulfillment (成就), and a journey to unfold the most precious capacities of a human being. 11 Here 4 key points to develop and sustain a true friendship.
12 Many times we blame the other person for what we feel, without realizing that we are presenting the bad power to him/her. This is not, however, something we must be afraid of or we should avoid. When we create a bond of affection with another human being, we are automatically vulnerable to the actions that are produced by this person. Being aware of that, we would be better off if we take responsibility and accept the emotions that come up in our inner world instead of blaming the other for what we are feeling.
Provide support and encouragement. Friendships aren’t all fun and games — they do require you put in some work. Say they’ve just quarreled with their parents or failed an exam. It’s your job to be there for them and provide them with whatever they need, starting with support and comfort. 13
Whatever the case, make it apparent that you’re rooting for them.
Seek the good of the other person. When we love another person, we seek the good of the other because we gladden their own happiness. Therefore, our seeking for the other person’s good is totally disinterested. We serve the other without expecting anything in return. 14
Accept the differences. 15 . Friendship welcomes differences and integrates them into a level of union that accepts and goes beyond them. Friendship involves recognizing that the value of the relationship is beyond our personal traits and belief system.
A. Be honest with each other.
B. Acts of love are made for its own sake.
C. Take responsibility of your own emotions.
D. Additionally, it’s your duty to give them encouragement as needed.
E. Human beings are relational beings, as everything we find in the nature.
F. Therefore, developing friendship with other people is essential in our lives.
G. Friendship doesn’t mean having the same interests, opinions and mindset as the other person.

(2023·四川攀枝花·统考二模)Social media has basically taken over almost everyday life for many people. They like to post videos online to share their life. But sometimes, if you post a video online and your video becomes popular, you may get comments from people who will always find something to complain about. They may spread gossip (流言蜚语) about you that isn’t true. Negative comments, if they are mishandled, can affect your reputation and mood. 16
First, respond positively and politely. Some people like your video while others don’t. No matter how negative the comment is, it’s best for you to give a positive and polite response. 17 . Don’t be angry, and stay calm, which helps you gain the upper hand.
Next, moving the conversation out of the public eye and into a private area is usually the best choice. 18 Instead, leave a comment for them, asking them to contact you to discuss the problem privately. This shows everyone that you are willing to solve the issue.
Finally, don’t reply if they try to start an argument. Often, keyboard warriors (键盘侠) are feeling bad about something in their own lives. 19 Avoid being negatively influenced by their comments. You totally have the right to delete anything that should not be on your social media page.
20 Just laugh them off and let them go. You can’t control what other people do. All you can do is keep posting and sharing positive things. When others can see that you are still living a good life, they will be encouraged by you.
A. So when should you ignore negative comments
B. Then how should we deal with negative comments
C. So keep it in mind that their comments have nothing to do with you.
D. How do you recover from those negative comments on social media
E. However, don’t send a direct message to the negative comment makers.
F. Each comment needs to be considered on the basis of facts and theories.
G. This shows that you care about everyone else on your social media page.

(2023·河北沧州·校考三模)Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 21 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 22 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
23 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 24
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life.

(2023·福建福州·福建省福州第一中学校考三模)For decades, I was a hard drinker who could drink anyone under the table. This lasted from the age of 27 until after 50, a golden time during which I felt very sorry for ex-drinkers and people who couldn’t or wouldn’t drink. How did they make it through social situations, especially parties What did they do at the end of a workday to celebrate and relax 41
When I first tried to quit drinking myself in my early 50s, I wasn’t sure at first how it would work for me. But I did it anyway. 42 I was getting older. I had to concede that I wasn’t as tough as I used to be. Nights of drinking too much showed in my face, and I could feel it in my bones. I wanted to take care of myself. So for the next few years, I bounced between not drinking at all for months at a time, then slowly starting again until I had to quit again.
During these years, I didn’t love not drinking. But I had to admit that when I was off booze, I looked and felt better physically: I slept more deeply, had more energy, exercised more. My mind was clearer. My moods were brighter. Parties were hard, and so was cooking at the end of a day of writing without a glass of wine at my elbow. 43
I finally quit drinking for real almost four years ago, on 12 July 2019, when a writer friend stayed with my husband and me after his wife kicked him out. After my husband had gone upstairs to bed, my friend sat on our sofa drinking an entire bottle of gin, complaining about his fate, until he passed out next to our dog, whose bed that sofa was. 44 I didn’t have a drink the next night, or ever again since.
I’m not going to lie: being sober is not a hot-air balloon ride. 45 Having to feel my damn feelings without filters compels me to face and change the things in my life that keep me stuck. Hard work all around, but as my reward, I connect more deeply with the people I care about. I think of not drinking as a kindness I’ve given myself. And to my surprise, it’s rewarded me with true, hard-won happiness.

I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 71 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”.

The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 73 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
74 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 75
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. The trip they took me on was a rough one. We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.

Let us look at what makes an effective persuasive speech.
Choose a good topic.
First, you should choose a topic you know something about or have researched well to prepare for your speech. Make sure it is a subject about which people have different opinions. 1
It is also best to choose a subject your listeners care about or can act on. 2 You can expect that they care about how the town appears, or that they can change their actions. So, giving a speech about why littering harms your town’s appearance might persuade people who do it to stop.
3
You should consider your listeners as you plan your speech. What do they value Thinking of the things your listeners value will help you form arguments in your speech. If you want them to stop eating unhealthy foods, for example, you may appeal to the value of their appearance. You will talk about how healthy foods result in good-looking skin and an attractive body.
Prepare your argument.
4 We use Greek words to describe them because the ancient Greeks developed and appealed to these ideas. They are:
Ethos—appeal to the listeners’ ethics or morals.
Pathos—appeal to the listeners’ emotions.
Logos—appeal to the listeners’ logic or intelligence.
Organize your speech.
You should make an outline of your speech. Start with an attention-getting statement. Then explain your main idea and give evidence to support your argument. List the points you want to make and think of how to answer arguments against your position.
Finish with a call to action—what do you want your listeners to do 5 Do not plan to read the speech word-for-word from a paper.
A. Know your audience.
B. Make the theme clear.
C. What will you do if you fail
D. Do you see people in your town littering
E. It would not be logical to speak about a fact recognized by everybody.
F. There are three common ways to persuade people of your way of thinking.
G. Finally, practice at home until you need only a note card with your main points on it when you give the speech.

As for the used teabags, most of them find they’re on the landfill site, but no longer! Your used teabag can work wonders in your garden by your simply burying it. 7 Continue to read what it does.
If you have ever tried to grow some seedlings (幼苗), then you know that this can be quite challenging. Not all seeds can grow into seedlings, even though you have tried so hard. But don’t worry. Here is good news. 8 And what you need just involves a used teabag.
By burying a teabag in your garden, you will provide nutrition to the soil, offering necessary food to the plants. In this way, your plants will be healthier and grow quicker. This is because tea works as a natural fertilizer (肥料) for the soil. The teabag itself is usually made from fibres from the abaca plant, which is a type of banana plant. The bag breaks down with its contents. 9
If you bury a teabag close to the roots of your plants, it will help store water in the soil. If there’s one thing important for plants, it’s water! What’s more, weeds are not wanted in your garden. 10 By burying a used teabag in the earth, you’ll make it a lot harder for the weeds to grow alongside your healthy plants.
A. A teabag is a great answer.
B. It does work though it sounds strange.
C. Making a beautiful garden requires efforts.
D. A beautiful garden is something most people enjoy.
E. There is one way to help your seedlings grow better.

G. That will create a healthy environment for plants to grow in.

(2023·四川巴中·统考一模)Friendship is a practice of unconditional love, an opportunity to grow together towards fulfillment (成就), and a journey to unfold the most precious capacities of a human being. 11 Here 4 key points to develop and sustain a true friendship.
12 Many times we blame the other person for what we feel, without realizing that we are presenting the bad power to him/her. This is not, however, something we must be afraid of or we should avoid. When we create a bond of affection with another human being, we are automatically vulnerable to the actions that are produced by this person. Being aware of that, we would be better off if we take responsibility and accept the emotions that come up in our inner world instead of blaming the other for what we are feeling.
Provide support and encouragement. Friendships aren’t all fun and games — they do require you put in some work. Say they’ve just quarreled with their parents or failed an exam. It’s your job to be there for them and provide them with whatever they need, starting with support and comfort. 13
Whatever the case, make it apparent that you’re rooting for them.
Seek the good of the other person. When we love another person, we seek the good of the other because we gladden their own happiness. Therefore, our seeking for the other person’s good is totally disinterested. We serve the other without expecting anything in return. 14
Accept the differences. 15 . Friendship welcomes differences and integrates them into a level of union that accepts and goes beyond them. Friendship involves recognizing that the value of the relationship is beyond our personal traits and belief system.
A. Be honest with each other.
B. Acts of love are made for its own sake.
C. Take responsibility of your own emotions.
D. Additionally, it’s your duty to give them encouragement as needed.
E. Human beings are relational beings, as everything we find in the nature.
F. Therefore, developing friendship with other people is essential in our lives.
G. Friendship doesn’t mean having the same interests, opinions and mindset as the other person.

Finally, don’t reply if they try to start an argument. Often, keyboard warriors (键盘侠) are feeling bad about something in their own lives. 19 Avoid being negatively influenced by their comments. You totally have the right to delete anything that should not be on your social media page.
20 Just laugh them off and let them go. You can’t control what other people do. All you can do is keep posting and sharing positive things. When others can see that you are still living a good life, they will be encouraged by you.

(2023·福建福州·福建省福州第一中学校考三模)For decades, I was a hard drinker who could drink anyone under the table. This lasted from the age of 27 until after 50, a golden time during which I felt very sorry for ex-drinkers and people who couldn’t or wouldn’t drink. How did they make it through social situations, especially parties What did they do at the end of a workday to celebrate and relax 41
When I first tried to quit drinking myself in my early 50s, I wasn’t sure at first how it would work for me. But I did it anyway. 42 I was getting older. I had to concede that I wasn’t as tough as I used to be. Nights of drinking too much showed in my face, and I could feel it in my bones. I wanted to take care of myself. So for the next few years, I bounced between not drinking at all for months at a time, then slowly starting again until I had to quit again.
During these years, I didn’t love not drinking. But I had to admit that when I was off booze, I looked and felt better physically: I slept more deeply, had more energy, exercised more. My mind was clearer. My moods were brighter. Parties were hard, and so was cooking at the end of a day of writing without a glass of wine at my elbow. 43
I finally quit drinking for real almost four years ago, on 12 July 2019, when a writer friend stayed with my husband and me after his wife kicked him out. After my husband had gone upstairs to bed, my friend sat on our sofa drinking an entire bottle of gin, complaining about his fate, until he passed out next to our dog, whose bed that sofa was. 44 I didn’t have a drink the next night, or ever again since.
I’m not going to lie: being sober is not a hot-air balloon ride. 45 Having to feel my damn feelings without filters compels me to face and change the things in my life that keep me stuck. Hard work all around, but as my reward, I connect more deeply with the people I care about. I think of not drinking as a kindness I’ve given myself. And to my surprise, it’s rewarded me with true, hard-won happiness.
A. My body demanded it.

C. It’s more like a hike in the mountains.

Qualities That Can Easily Land You a Job
Dependability
Employees that can be relied on arrive at the office on time and put up consistent effort in all tasks. 66 . A dependable employee is given these tasks when an employer has a project or job that must be finished in a certain period of time and to a certain standard. Dependable workers constantly show their ability, which can result in pay increases and job advancements.
Problem-solving
Any organization can benefit from having employees who can make their own decisions and act quickly. 67 . Therefore, they need candidates who are not hesitant to take decisive action. Anyone seeking to advance into a management or leadership role must possess the ability to take action and accept responsibility for the results.
Adaptability
68 . Being adaptable focuses more on long-term changes that could have a large impact on a workplace. You are able to rapidly adapt to any changes, even when positions are ruled out or a firm significantly changes its vision. Adaptable employees work more effectively with customers, clients and their team members.
69
Management can trust independent workers to accomplish their responsibilities well and can be left alone to do so. Although many employers want workers who can work together well and communicate effectively, being independent enables an individual to do tasks on his/her own without relying on others. The value of independent work depends on how well the person manages their time, joins in critical thought and solves problems.
Team Player
The ability to work together effectively with others is a basic component of almost any employment. 70 . Even if some jobs need you to work alone, a team-oriented attitude shows that you are working toward a greater goal and value the group efforts of your co-workers. Employees who work well in a team make good candidates for management and leadership roles.
A. Responsibility
B. Independent Thinker
C. Employers cannot take part in every small decision
D. Your ability for adaptation is how well you handle changes
E. Employers place a high value on the ability to operate well in a team
F. Employers have faith in their ability to complete the duties arranged for them

(2023·山东潍坊·潍坊一中校考模拟预测)One Second Every Day
I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 71 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. 72 I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.
The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 73 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
74 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 75
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.
A. It instantly inspired me.
B. The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.
C. I’m always energetic when doing things I love.
D. People might have different interpretations of it.
E. It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
F. But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.
G. The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.
