专题03 七选五10篇
（2024·广东·高三校联考一模）Nutritional advice comes from every corner of our world. 1 Moreover, we are encouraged to take a multivitamin to fill in any gaps in our diet.
The subject of popping a pill to get the recommended daily allowance (定量) of the various vitamins essential to overall good health may be somewhat controversial. After all, different nutrients may be absorbed at different rates by our bodies. Surely we shouldn’t expect one small pill to cover it all. 2
One vitamin that is vital for good health in so many ways but is too often taken for granted is vitamin D． 3 So it can be easy to get into the misconception (误解) that Mother Nature is taking care of this aspect of our balanced nutrition.
While sunlight exposure is beneficial, not everyone benefits from the sun at the same level. Sun exposure near the equator (赤道) is far different from that an Eskimo might receive at the North Pole. 4 Even in sun-rich areas of the world, people tend to spend much more time indoors to escape the uncomfortable heat produced in sunnier climates.
5 You can get it from your diet, like fish, orange juice and beef liver. But when you doubt whether your diet can meet your needs, a good multivitamin may be a good first step in supplying additional vitamins and minerals.
A．It is often associated with exposure to sunlight.
B．Darker skin also absorbs less vitamin D than paler skin.
C．We get many tips on how to add nutrients to our everyday menu.
D．Often attention to our nutritional balance can improve the situation.
E．It is essential for strong, healthy bones and a well-functioning brain.
F．Still, it pays to understand the role many vitamins play in staying fit.
G．There are many sources of dietary vitamin D besides Mother Nature.
（2024·广东广州·高三广州市第三中学校考一模）Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. 6 Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.
The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie
novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. 7 Thus, the novelisation was a great solution.
Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. 8 In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.
But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. 9 Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices.
Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. 10
A．But what about book adaptations of films
B．Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too.
C．For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers.
D．Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly.
E．But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape.
F．Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.
G．Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary.
（2024·广东肇庆·统考一模）Since the per-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger or shelter, he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages. 11 As we climbed the steps of evolution (进化), we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking — we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times.
If you are hungry, what do you do Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that Just like your stomach, your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, your favorite star and many such silly things. 12 When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.
13 Now why reading and not watching TV Because reading has been the most educative tool used by
us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes (解读) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. 14 It, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought!
Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench (止住) my thirst for satisfaction. So join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 15
A．This is nothing but creativity.
B．Go, grab a book, and let me know.
C．So it silently begins to focus on your needs and never lets itself grow.
D．Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading.

F．Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.
G．This might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species.
（2024·江西·高三江西省樟树中学校联考一模）Shyness is something that many people battle with every day. They are afraid to look people in the eyes and have a hard time speaking to new people. This makes it very hard to get ahead at work and in making new friends and business connections. 16 There are ways to get around this fear and get out there and start talking to people.
●Remember that most people are not looking at you. When you are shy you may believe that people are constantly watching and judging you. 17 Most people are always busy looking at themselves and worrying about what people think of them. When you are talking to someone new they are not picking apart your every word; they are worried about what you think of them.
● 18 Instead of always complaining yourself about things you think you are not doing better, turn your focus to the things that you do well. Your self-talk is very important to how you feel. Stop negative self-talk. Instead remind yourself every morning of all the great things you have to offer. Whenever you start feeling shy again run over your list of things that makes you happy.
●If you do not have an exercise routine, you should start one now. 19 You do not spend hours a day in the gym. You should spend about 30 minutes a day walking or doing something physical you enjoy. If you are physically capable you could also add 20 minutes of light weight training two or three days a week. 20 Being able to stand with your back straight and your head held high will definitely help overcome shy feelings.
A．Focus on your strengths.
B．This just is not the case at all.
C．Stop complaining about others.

（2024·广东佛山·高三统考一模）Luck, often defined as success or failure apparently caused by chance, operates differently than we think. It’s rarely a sudden lightning strike. 26 How can you capture the winds of fortune Let me share three ways.
Change your relationship with yourself. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone. When we’re children, we do this if we’re going to learn how to walk or talk or ride a bike. 27 We lock down the sense of who we are and don’t stretch anymore.
28 Appreciate those who give you a hand. My experience with Brian illustrates this strategy. After being rejected from my programs twice, his gratitude in a heartfelt thank-you note sparked our cooperation on a project.
Change your relationship with ideas. Accept ideas with an open mind. Avoid quick judgments of new ideas as good or bad. Instead, see them as different. If you look around at the new businesses that have changed our life, they all started out as crazy ideas. 29

（2024·广东惠州·高三统考期中）How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 41 Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.
42 After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks.
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 43
You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 44 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 45 Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A．It starts with your sight.
B．But the result of dark plates can vary a little.
C．However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.
D．Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E．Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.
F．The tableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.
G．So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.
（2024·广东深圳·高三统考一模）Within the education system, teachers are often asked to do too much and, in some places for some subjects, there are teacher shortages. 46 . It can free up teachers’ time by providing them assistance to complete labor-intensive activities, such as feedback, grading and even lesson planning.
An AI teaching assistant, for example, can offer students more frequent and immediate feedback on their writing, and can ask them to explain their steps on a math problem. 47 , they learn better. But this is impossible with one teacher and large class sizes.
48 . It can reduce the amount of time teachers spend on planning by creating lesson plans, brainstorming class activities and drafting quizzes for certain groups of students respectively.
Spending less time on these tasks does not mean we need fewer teachers. It means teachers have more time to build relationships with students. Studies show that strong relationships with teachers and school staff help increase students’ motivation and academic engagement. Teachers help students achieve a sense of belonging in school, see themselves as capable of success, and act as architects of their own future. 49 .
Using AI can shift responsibilities so teachers can focus on the uniquely human things they can do to help students learn and prepare to solve the challenges of tomorrow. 50 .
A．This is where the application of AI can help
B．But artificial intelligence cannot do any of that
C．When students get feedback on their efforts in time
D．AI will allow them, for instance, to reach more students
E．Because AI helps students do things faster and more easily
F．AI can also help teachers differentiate lessons for learners at different levels
G．So AI will really become an extension of the teacher rather than a replacement

（2024·广东·高三校联考一模）Nutritional advice comes from every corner of our world. 1 Moreover, we are encouraged to take a multivitamin to fill in any gaps in our diet.
The subject of popping a pill to get the recommended daily allowance (定量) of the various vitamins essential to overall good health may be somewhat controversial. After all, different nutrients may be absorbed at different rates by our bodies. Surely we shouldn’t expect one small pill to cover it all. 2
One vitamin that is vital for good health in so many ways but is too often taken for granted is vitamin D． 3 So it can be easy to get into the misconception (误解) that Mother Nature is taking care of this aspect of our balanced nutrition.
While sunlight exposure is beneficial, not everyone benefits from the sun at the same level. Sun exposure near the equator (赤道) is far different from that an Eskimo might receive at the North Pole. 4 Even in sun-rich areas of the world, people tend to spend much more time indoors to escape the uncomfortable heat produced in sunnier climates.
5 You can get it from your diet, like fish, orange juice and beef liver. But when you doubt whether your diet can meet your needs, a good multivitamin may be a good first step in supplying additional vitamins and minerals.
A．It is often associated with exposure to sunlight.
B．Darker skin also absorbs less vitamin D than paler skin.
C．We get many tips on how to add nutrients to our everyday menu.
D．Often attention to our nutritional balance can improve the situation.
E．It is essential for strong, healthy bones and a well-functioning brain.
F．Still, it pays to understand the role many vitamins play in staying fit.
G．There are many sources of dietary vitamin D besides Mother Nature.
（2024·广东广州·高三广州市第三中学校考一模）Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. 6 Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.
The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie
novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. 7 Thus, the novelisation was a great solution.
Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. 8 In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.
But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. 9 Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices.
Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. 10
A．But what about book adaptations of films
B．Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too.
C．For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers.
D．Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly.
E．But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape.
F．Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.
G．Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary.
（2024·广东肇庆·统考一模）Since the per-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger or shelter, he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages. 11 As we climbed the steps of evolution (进化), we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking — we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times.
If you are hungry, what do you do Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that Just like your stomach, your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, your favorite star and many such silly things. 12 When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.
13 Now why reading and not watching TV Because reading has been the most educative tool used by
us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes (解读) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. 14 It, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought!
Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench (止住) my thirst for satisfaction. So join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 15
A．This is nothing but creativity.
B．Go, grab a book, and let me know.
C．So it silently begins to focus on your needs and never lets itself grow.
D．Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading.
E．You have numerous books which will answer all your “How to ” questions.
F．Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.
G．This might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species.
（2024·江西·高三江西省樟树中学校联考一模）Shyness is something that many people battle with every day. They are afraid to look people in the eyes and have a hard time speaking to new people. This makes it very hard to get ahead at work and in making new friends and business connections. 16 There are ways to get around this fear and get out there and start talking to people.
●Remember that most people are not looking at you. When you are shy you may believe that people are constantly watching and judging you. 17 Most people are always busy looking at themselves and worrying about what people think of them. When you are talking to someone new they are not picking apart your every word; they are worried about what you think of them.
● 18 Instead of always complaining yourself about things you think you are not doing better, turn your focus to the things that you do well. Your self-talk is very important to how you feel. Stop negative self-talk. Instead remind yourself every morning of all the great things you have to offer. Whenever you start feeling shy again run over your list of things that makes you happy.
●If you do not have an exercise routine, you should start one now. 19 You do not spend hours a day in the gym. You should spend about 30 minutes a day walking or doing something physical you enjoy.

（2024·广东惠州·高三统考期中）How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 41 Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.
42 After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks.
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 43
You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 44 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 45 Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A．It starts with your sight.
B．But the result of dark plates can vary a little.
C．However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.
D．Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E．Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.
F．The tableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.
G．So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.

It can free up teachers’ time by providing them assistance to complete labor-intensive activities, such as feedback, grading and even lesson planning.
An AI teaching assistant, for example, can offer students more frequent and immediate feedback on their writing, and can ask them to explain their steps on a math problem. 47 , they learn better. But this is impossible with one teacher and large class sizes.
