（2024·广东·二模）When attending holiday parties, we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen, with food and drink service, and with post-party cleanup, which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. 1 Here’s what professional event planners recommend.
Be sure to respond in a timely manner. 2 If the invitation asks you to respond, do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your attendance. Hosts who don’t want their guests to help out during the party can hint that all has been taken care of right on the invitation.
3 Asking a host if you can assist on the event date can be overwhelming, but extending that offer while the host is still planning the party and putting the details together may prove more useful. If you are someone who loves to help, contact the host in advance and offer your assistance. 4
Don’t show up early. Respect the event’s start time and arrive on time or 5 minutes later than the time on the invitation. If the invitation says 7:15 pm, guests should arrive between 7:15 and 7:20.
When the party is over, don’t stay. At the end of the evening, you can make one last offer to help the host tidy up the space. But if they refuse, don’t insist. 5 So it’s the guest’s responsibility to leave at an appropriate hour.
A．Consider offering help to the host ahead of time.
B．So what can you do to really help holiday hosts
C．Contact the host to know the details about the party.
D．Many hosts are too polite to tell people it’s time to go.
E．Being a good guest begins long before the party begins.
F．This way, the host can know an extra pair of hands is available as needed.
G．The invitation phase serves as a prime opportunity to clarify the event’s tone.
（2024·山东·二模）Having dragged everything I owned halfway across the country, I reached my university a complete fresher. 6 Noisy and busy, it felt somewhat overwhelming. Soon I realized everyone was just as anxious about the idea or starting the next chapter in life. But I wouldn’t exchange my university experience for anything. The only thing I wished I had done is a proper exploration in advance of the maddening first day. So I hope to share something you should know before your arrival at university. 7
The first point I’d like to make is that you’re in charge of your degree. Outside of your scheduled lectures, you’re the one who determines whether to carry on studying or to spend the rest of your day relaxing. 8 Are you going to be the student starting their assignment weeks beforehand, or the one pulling an all-nighter before a 10 am deadline
Multiplicity is everywhere. University is where you ‘ll meet people from all over the world. Our eyes begin to widen to distinctive cultures, values, and morals around us. 9 So, whoever is there can fit in.
Remember going to university isn’t just about studying, but you have to learn to balance your work and life. Every university has sports teams, societies and voluntary activities to get involved with. Every university has a Students’ Union, where your voice comes in. 10 Some universities even offer job opportunities in bars, shops and food outlets.
Bothersome as your early university life may be, it’ll be incredible once you find your feet.
A．I’d done zero research about it.
B．Every choice made is up to you.

（2024·福建南平·二模）Should I go for a brownie or a slice of cake Is it best to take up football or swimming 11 But it can sometimes lead to feeling scared, uncertain and torn. When you’re able to reach decisions, and accept and learn from your choices, this can give you a sense of calm.
12 Some decisions can have consequences for your health, school and relationships. Ignoring decision making can completely lead to “burying your head in the sand”. As you grow up. making choices becomes a regular part of life.
It is really brain twisting to make tough decisions. 13 You could start by listing the different options then weighing up the pros and cons of each one. Anita Garai, author of the book, Being with Our Feelings, says, “Follow your true feeling and listen to your heart, especially if your thoughts are confused or you feel anxious. Try to catch your first impulse, before your mind questions things.” 14
Many people worry about making the “right” decision, especially if you feel disappointed by how things turn out. There’s not always a right choice and a wrong choice. 15 If the one you choose leads to disappointment, try reflecting on it and think about whether you would make a different decision in the future.
A．Are timely decisions vital
B．Why does choosing matter
C．People make choices every day.
D．Think carefully before making decisions.
E．Different paths lead to different experiences.
F．But breaking down your thinking can be helpful.
G．Always be careful about making a decision just to please others.
（2024·河北承德·二模）A New Hobby for a New Year
It’s the end of one year and the start of another. You’ve probably been considering New Year’s resolutions. 16
Perhaps, like Debbie Gustig, you could start ballet classes. At the age of 53, Debbie stepped into the dance studio, where, for a while, it feels like “the outside world is on pause”.
Hobbies are away for us to keep busy and take our minds off the realities of work and life. 17 Humans have buried themselves into pastimes since the beginning of time, from drawing on cave walls to playing videogames. 18 That means acquiring, possibly cataloguing (列入目录), and then displaying or storing something precious, whether that be stamps, antiques or books.
Linda de Ruiter turned her hobby into a job. She is a yarn maker (纺纱工) and also the owner of a small business. 19 She said she always thought yarn making would just be “a glorified (美化的) hobby” for her, but she’s glad to have been proven wrong and says she is having fun.
20 In Canada, axe (斧头) throwing is on the rise. In fact, there is even an axe-throwing league with branches across the country and more than 1, 500 members. So, ballet, collecting stamps, yarn making, axe throwing What will you pursue in the new year
A．Some hobbies involve collecting things.
B．Her hobbies include hiking and photography.
C．People often pursue hobbies as a way of de-stressing.
D．People long for time to pursue interests that are valuable and satisfying.
E．And you may have decided to take up something new for the year ahead.
F．Every time a new year rolls around, people set out to better themselves.
G．After helping out a friend with a stand at a craft market, she realized she wanted a stand for herself.
（2024·浙江金华·二模）I am always confused when reading statements like “Princeton University is the number one college in the United States.” Are those who attend Princeton inherently brighter than their peers 21 Or is Princeton the best across all academic subjects overall
I didn’t care about college rankings for years until I recently saw something different. This past October, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy unveiled the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2023, which assesses universities worldwide across 55 subjects in five disciplines. 22 And this makes it easier for prospective students to choose the best college for their specific subject.
23 When I delved deeper into the methodology behind these rankings, I discovered a complex web of criteria, including academic reputation, research output, and international collaboration. 24 However, they do not capture the entirety of the college experience. Factors like campus culture, extracurricular opportunities, and faculty-student interactions can profoundly shape your undergraduate years, yet they often remain unquantifiable in ranking systems.
25 What may be the ideal environment for one student pursuing engineering might not suit another studying literature. It’s crucial to consider your personal preferences, career aspirations, and learning style when evaluating potential colleges. While prestigious universities may offer unparalleled resources and networking opportunities, a smaller, lesser-known college might provide a more nurturing and supportive environment for your individual growth and development. Ultimately, the best college for you is the one that aligns with your values, ambitions, and vision for the future.
A．The value of a university education goes beyond its ranking.
B．Is Princeton the most beautiful campus all around the world
C．Is Princeton able to produce more geniuses upon graduation
D．That being said, how much weight should be given to these rankings
E．Actually, the concept of a “best” college is subjective and context-dependent.
F．These measures provide valuable insights into the academic strength of universities.
G．It is said to employ a more in-depth approach to evaluate the performance of universities.
（2024·浙江绍兴·二模）How to Build a Habit
Building good habits takes tremendous effort and insight. 26 Here are some research-backed steps that can set you on the path from where you are to where you want to be.
Set a specific goal
The way you define the goal you hope to turn into a habit does matter. Goals such as “meditate regularly” are too abstract, research has shown. 27 Don’t say “I’ll meditate regularly.” Say, “I’ll mediate for 15 minutes each day.” Having a bite-size objective makes it easier to get started and easier to see your progress.
Create a detailed, cue-based plan
Scientists have proven that you’ll make more progress toward your goal if you decide not just what you’ll do, but when you’ll be cued to do it, as well as where you’ll do it and how you’ll get there. A plan like “I’ll study Spanish for 30 minutes, five days a week” is OK. But a detailed, cue-based plan like “Every workday after my last meeting, I’ll spend 30 minutes studying Spanish in my office” is much more likely to stick as a habit. 28 Because the when and where in your plan will serve as cues to action that jog your memory.
29
When we set out to build a new habit, most of us overestimate our willpower and set a course for the most efficient path to achieving our end goal. But research has shown you’ll persist longer and ultimately achieve more if you instead focus on finding ways to make goal pursuit fun.
Foster flexibility
30 But when you’re in the start-up phase of habit building, it’s important to insert some variability deliberately into your routine. A flexible habit means you can still do what you need to even when a wrench is thrown in your first best plans— say, a traffic jam on the way to dropping the kids off at school that gets in the way of your morning meditation.
A．Make it fun to repeat.
B．Find the right kind of social support.
C．We frequently repeat our behaviors, forming habits at our own speed.
D．Making this kind of plan reduces the chances you’ll forget to follow through.
E．By the time we put a behavior on autopilot, a lot of us fall into fairly consistent routines.
F．You’ll benefit from being more specific about what exactly you aim to do and how often.
G．Thankfully, science offers both guidance on how to begin and strategies to lighten your lift.
（2024·湖南·二模）Floods can come from multiple sources. It can be a hurricane, failed dam, or overflowing river. The disasters can move quickly. 31 It’s important to know how to keep your family and belongings safe during such an event. Full preparation can put you at ease for its coming.
A flood is simply an event where water overflows a natural area and covers normally dry places. In general, there are two types. 32 The soil in these areas can’t absorb a lot of moisture. The water then rapidly runs off the surface resulting in a torrent (激流) of rapidly moving water. River flooding is when a river overflows its banks due to excessive (过分的) water and the situation can get worse if barriers such as a dam or levee (防洪堤) break as well.
A flood can be caused by many things. 33 Living next to a river, dam, on the coast, or in a low-lying area puts you at risk for flooding.
There is no specific flood season. 34 Any time there is a large amount of rain in a short period, flooding can occur. Man-made and natural disasters can also cause flooding outside of those months. For example, the collapse of a dam can cause a flood. A natural disaster, such as a tsunami, can also cause flooding on a massive scale.
35 Using existing maps and examining low-lying areas can determine high risk areas for flooding. Moreover, flood warnings are sent out to areas that could experience flooding when there is a large amount of rainfall over a short time.
A．The rising river threatens people’s lives.
B．Floods can be preventable and predictable.
C．Flash floods are more common in dry areas.
D．And sometimes they come with little warning.
E．The weather forecast accurately predicts all disasters.
F．They include severe weather, geography, and other man-made factors.
G．Generally, the period from spring to fall is considered a heightened risk for floods.
（2024·河南·二模）Now we are living in a world where digital distractions (干扰) seem everywhere. Finding inventive ways to arrest your children’s attention without relying on screens is a parenting challenge. 36 Trying the following tips can help you keep your children away from the digital world and immerse(沉浸在)them in a world of creative exploration and meaningful connections.
37 Your backyard can be transformed into a magical place where they can discover hidden treasures, observe insects and create nature-inspired art. Organise a treasure hunt with themed clues, stimulating their curiosity and turning the backyard into a canvas (画布) for their imaginative adventures.
Turn your kitchen into a busy cooking laboratory. 38 Involve them in age-appropriate cooking or baking activities, developing a love for experimenting with ingredients and learning valuable cooking skills. From decorating cookies to preparing simple, kid-friendly meals, the kitchen becomes a space for creativity and shared family experiences.
Transform a comfortable corner of your home into a storytelling place. You children will immerse themselves in the world of books by creating a collection of their favourites. 39 This not only cultivates (培养) a love for literature but also enhances their communication skills and imagination.

（2024·陕西西安·二模）How to Teach Time Management Skills to Teens

（2024·广东佛山·二模）Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people, so it’s beneficial to know how to eat more mindfully. Here are some techniques for eating at a healthy pace.
Remove all distractions while you eat. 46 Make sure your cell phone is face down and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Take enough time to finish your meal. Even with all distractions removed, very often you still find yourself eating faster than you should. 47 It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.
48 You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich. One way to slowdown is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself: What’s on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell, the taste and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Limit the amount of the food you might munch on(大口吃) mindlessly. Put a small amount of snack food, like potato chips, in a separate bowl to help avoid mindless munching. 49 Putting aside some of the food can help you eat less at a healthier pace.
Actually chew. If you’re wolfing down(狼吞虎咽) your food you’re probably not chewing it. And chewing is an important part of digestion. 50 Look at each bite before putting it into your mouth, acknowledge what you’re eating and chew, chew, chew.

（2024·贵州贵阳·二模）It is not hard to learn more about a piece of famous painting, but identifying an unknown painting can be tricky. What do you need to do to get its specific information Here are tips to identify a painting.
·Use the signature or monogram (字母组合图案) to dig online and find the image. Look in the corners of the painting to see if there is a signature or monogram. 51 If it’s harder to read, see if you can break down the letters and read them. This will let you narrow down the search and figure out who the artist is.
·Turn to an image recognition app to identify the painting immediately. If you’re struggling to remember an artist’s name or you want additional information on a particular painting, download an image recognition app designed specifically for art. There are several apps for both Android and iPhone that allow you to snap a photo of a painting to search through museum catalogues, university databases, and art history texts. 52
·Ask an expert to identify the era, style, or painter of an image. 53 The reason is that an expert like a professor in the field of art will be able to offer insights about the period, style, and give you a better sense for where to look. He may even know who the artist is as soon as he takes a look at it.
· 54 Contemporary painters may paint people or objects from the past, but they can’t time travel. If there’s a train, company logo or some other time-specific component of it, this is a great way to set a baseline (基准) for your search.
In a word, the tips above are helpful. 55 In this way, you will effortlessly identify the unknown painting.
A．This is the easiest way to find a specific painting.
B．Locate its exact location when you appreciate the painting.

D．Email or visit an art history professor to ask whether he can look at the image.
E．Take advantage of obvious clues in the subject matter to narrow down the date.
F．Thus, you’ll find it easier than you think to find the information you’re looking for.
G．If the professor mainly focuses on newer artists, a contemporary abstract piece is going to be easier to identify.
（2024·广西·二模）You might have heard of the expression “a guilty pleasure”—maybe it’s the chocolate bar you buy on the way home from work, or the new clothes that you don’t really need. 56 . Perhaps we don’t feel we deserved it, or we don’t think it was a responsible way to spend our money. But should we feel like this Do we really have to feel guilty about treating ourselves
Perhaps not. Psychologists have suggested that buying things for yourself can make you feel better as it provides an opportunity to take control of your situation. 57 . It may be that as well as lifting your mood, when you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself.
Of course, there are also examples of people turning to destructive behaviour when faced with stressful circumstances. People might spend money that they don’t have or turn to dangerous addictions. Psychologist Leon Seltzer considers the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurturing. 58 , while self-nurturing is taking responsible decisions to satisfy our needs and take care of ourselves in ways that don’t have a significant impact.
59 . So, many universities publish guides with advice for coping with exam stress. Reflecting the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurture, they recommend rewarding yourself for your efforts, doing things that you enjoy and are good at so that you can feel accomplishment. 60 . Thus, perhaps, as long as we make responsible decisions, we shouldn’t feel guilty about our guilty pleasures.
A．Exams are vital for students.
B．Self-indulgence can have negative consequences
C．The difference becomes evident when students manage exam pressure
D．They also recommend embracing activities that could dampen your spirits
E．Besides, you should avoid things that may make you feel worse afterwards
F．It comes from the idea that when we treat ourselves, it can sometimes leave us feeling guilty
G．It can give you social contact as well as a confidence boost from changes you make to your self-image
（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.
61 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. 62 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.
63 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. 64
The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. 65 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·湖南·二模）Hop on the Silent Walking Trend
Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection. 66 That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.
Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. 67 Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional well-being.
To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. 68 And it might even be good for your brain. Scientists applaud the virtues of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections. And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you’ve disconnected from external distractions. Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time—it’ll keep you motivated.
Start off with five-minute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes. If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in. 69
Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential. After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. 70 Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.
A．But being bored won’t hurt you.
B．Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.
C．Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.
D．You’ll also start noticing the little things around you more clearly.
E．They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth
F．Unlike exercise-oriented walking, it isn’t about reaching certain speed or steps
G．In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape (音景) .
（2024·浙江嘉兴·二模）Education is a good opportunity for those of us who expect to better ourselves. But for people in full-time employment, getting the balancing act between work and studying can prove challenging. But look on the bright side. 71
University is often considered a logical step for people who wish to continue their education after school. While options of Master's degrees, PhDs and other postgraduate qualifications exist, many students leave after obtaining their Bachelor’s and head into the world of work. 72 They hope it may open up new opportunities or help them to get a promotion.
In terms of the benefits, learning new techniques that you can bring into the workplace can make you more of an authority in your area and a go-to person for advice. 73 In short, studying more could make you more promotable down the line and more helpful to the business.
If you study in a classroom, your experience of the workplace could bring a wealth of knowledge to other students and provide real-life examples for you to draw on. You may also meet like-minded people. 74 In addition, while adult learners have to consider things like children, home lives and work，many adult and part-time courses are more flexible. Some courses can even be done partly or entirely online, which means you can manage your time more easily and don't need to factor in travel time.
75 Increasing your skills may open up new careers in your professional life.
A．Studying part-time in the evenings can be a great choice.
B．So, what are the benefits of hitting the books once in work
C．Then you can expand your professional network in the future.

60．前文“Reflecting the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurture, they recommend rewarding yourself for your efforts, doing things that you enjoy and are good at so that you can feel accomplishment.(他们建议对自己的努力给予奖励，做自己喜欢和擅长的事情，这样你就能感受到成就感，这反映了自我放纵和自我培养之间的区别)”表示学校指南的建议，后文“Thus, perhaps, as long as we make responsible decisions, we shouldn’t feel guilty about our guilty pleasures.(因此，也许，只要我们做出负责任的决定，我们就不应该对我们的罪恶感感到内疚)”表示我们应负责任地做决定，E选项“此外，你应该避免那些可能会让你事后感觉更糟的事情”与上一句的建议为并列的递进关系，同样表示建议，符合结构，与文章的整体观点一致，强调负责任地对待自己的行为。故选E。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，如何在生活中变得更加快乐、如何保持更加快乐。大学心理学讲师根据自己的研究提出了四条建议。
61．根据下文“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.(期待一次愉快的经历会让一切变得更加甜蜜。等上几天再去看一部刚上映的新电影，计划一下你夏天晚些时候的大假期，试着花时间享受每一口甜点)”可知，本段主要是说对未来美好的期待会使这段经历更加甜美，A项“期待本身是令人愉快的”符合语境，故选A。
62．根据上文“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.(那些更关注过程而不是结果的人在面对挫折时往往会保持动力。他们更善于坚持重大挑战，更喜欢挑战而不是简单的路线)”可知，关注过程比关注结果更能激励人们面对挫折，结合本段末句“Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well.(如果事情进展不顺利，只关注结果会导致过早倦怠)”可知，只关注结果会使人倦怠，空处应是描述与之相反的关注过程的积极影响，D项“这种‘成长心态’帮助人们保持精力充沛”符合语境，故选D。
63．根据下文“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.(找一个能让你定期和朋友聚在一起的活动。每周的欢乐时光、扑克之夜或电视节目可以确保你在社交活动中的一致性和动力。拥有高质量人际关系的人不仅更快乐，也更健康)”可知，本段主要讲友谊对心理健康的重要作用，F项“没有什么比高质量的友谊对我们的心理健康更重要的了”符合语境，故选F。
64．根据上文“People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier.(拥有高质量人际关系的人不仅更快乐，也更健康)”可知，高质量的友谊不仅使人更加快乐，而且使人更加健康，G项“他们从疾病中恢复得更快，活得更长，享受更丰富的生活”符合语境，持续讲述高质量友谊的作用，故选G。
65．空前“The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead.(下次你想用手机浏览社交媒体时，先看看你的联系人列表吧)”提到，如果要浏览社交媒体时，就看看通讯录，结合下文“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.(你从与另一个人的真正联系中获得的快乐将远远大于你在社交媒体上得到的任何评论或点赞)”可知，空处应是承接上文，查看同学录给某个人打电话或视频，C项“找一个可以打电话或视频通话的人”符合语境，承接上文动作，且呼应下文“a real connection with another person”，故选C。
66．F 67．G 68．A 69．C 70．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了静默行走这一趋势，探讨了如何进行静默行走，以及这种行走方式对健康的好处，特别是对促进认知和情感福祉的潜在影响。
66．上文“Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection.(静默行走包括在户外行走，不受音乐或对话等干扰，专注于身心自然的联系)”以及下文“That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.(这是一种较慢、影响较小的放松方式，非常适合健身。以下是您需要了解的有关趋势的所有信息)”说明静默行走是一种适合健身的运动方式。空处补充上文内容，并引出下文。F项中的it指代前文中的Silent walking，“reaching certain speed or steps”和下文中的“That’s a slower, lower-impact way”相呼应，说明静默行走不关注到特定的速度或步数，而是以一种较慢、影响较小的放松方式行走。所以F项“与以锻炼为导向的行走不同，它不关注达到特定的速度或步数”符合语境。故选F。
67．上文“Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. (选择一个自然的环境，充分利用你的感官。为了获得心理健康的好处，建议找一个安静、宁静的自然地点)”说明静默行走需要选择找一个安静、宁静的自然地点。空处与前文内容形成因果逻辑关系，G项中的“In such an environment”和前文中的“a quiet and peaceful natural location”相呼应，说明在这样安静和自然的环境下，你就可以沉浸在自然的音景中。故选G。
68．上文“To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. (为了刺激大脑，可以考虑探索与平时不同的路线。如果没有你最喜欢的播客或播放列表，你可能会在散步时陷入无聊)”说明如果平时喜欢博客等，在静默散步时就会感到无聊。空处和前文形成转折关系，所以提出的“无聊的积极影响”提供铺垫。A项中的But引出了与上文相对的观点，表明尽管无聊可能被视为不愉快的体验，但它并非有害，这为下文科学家对无
