Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ①_____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. ②_____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
③_____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ④_____ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". ⑤_____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don't often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don't want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ①_____ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ②_____
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ③_____ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser-known sights
●④_____ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ⑤_____ You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.

Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled "Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner." One reason was: "You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym," while another read: "①_____" With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. ②_____ Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. ③_____ If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ④_____
You and your partner will probably have different skills. ⑤_____ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core(核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.

Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
①_____ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ②_____ Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ③_____ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled(弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced(三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ④_____ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks(大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ⑤_____ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. ①_____ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管) worked. ②_____ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ③_____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
④_____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. ⑤_____ When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.

F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.
八、【2021新高考Ⅱ卷】
If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine, the speed at which you read probably does not matter very much. But if you have to read a great deal for study, you will appreciate the benefits of being able to read more quickly. ①______
Before you open the book, make sure that you are comfortable. You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes. ②______
③______ Look at the table of contents, the preface, the chapter heading, etc. This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it. Ten minutes spent in this way could save you quite a lot of time in the long run.
If you decide that you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. ④______ A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects. In the former case you may be able to read a chapter. In the latter you may only be able to read one page.
Always keep a pencil and paper beside you. ⑤______ Note also the facts important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research. You don't have to write these things in detail. It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder.
A. Stop to have a rest now and then.

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. ①_____ Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking." ②_____ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one. ③_____
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. ④_____ And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
⑤_____ It's rare to hear someone say, "I wish that speaker had spoken longer." On the other hand, you probably can't count the times that you've thought, "I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

一、答案:FBEAD
解析:①根据上文中的"If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿)"(如果你想发表作品,提交一份完美的、专业呈现的手稿是至关重要的)可知,此处会讲到完美的、专业呈现的手稿是什么样子的,选项F"那意味着语法不错并且没有拼写错误"符合语境。所以选F。
②根据上文中的"I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker"(我不信任我笔记本电脑的拼写检查程序)可知,此处会讲到不信任的原因,选项B"它不考虑上下文"符合语境。所以选B。
③段落主旨句。根据下文中的"It should give you a precise definition of each word. . . how the word is pronounced"(它应该为你提供每个单词的精确定义,从而区分它与其他含义相似但不完全相同的单词。它通常还会显示单词是如何发音的)可知,该段主要讲述了词典不仅仅提供单词的拼写,还有其他功能。所以选E。
④根据下文中的"However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better"(但是,如果我需要核实某个单词的起源或查找其用法示例,就没有比这更好的了)可知,此处应该讲述作者不怎么使用这本词典。所以选A。
⑤根据下文中的"A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience"(花几分钟粗略浏览一两页内容可以是一种令人满意的体验)可知,选项D"但是,词典也可以是一种令人愉悦的读物"可以与之构成逻辑上的顺承关系。所以选D。
二、答案:BCEAG
解析:①根据空前的"but the rapid growth of travel has led to over tourism in certain regions and destinations"可知,旅游快速增长导致某些地区和目的地的过度旅游。再根据空后的"Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world"可知,在当今世界,失去旅行提供的东西是无法接受的。由此可推断,空处应该讨论是否停止旅游这项服务。故选B项。
②本段小标题是"谨慎选择",再根据空前的"With so many online posts...deeply draws you"可推知,很多人盲目跟风选择旅游地,只有当目的地的景色、文化或食物真正吸引你时才去。空处在结尾处,应该紧扣本段标题和空前内容,点出选择旅行应是为自己而不是为别人。故选C项。
③根据空前的"Though over tourism is described as a problem ...That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from"可知,过度旅游只集中在少数非常受欢迎的地方,游客其实还有更多选择的空间。空后的"Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights "鼓励游客去尝试一些地区性或知名度相对较低的景点旅游,以此缓解过度旅游压力。空处应承上启下,涉及游客能选择的其他地方,E项中的"undiscovered places"符合题意。
④本文是总(Para.1)一分(Para.2至Para.4)一总(Para.5)结构,分析第二至四段的段落结构和特点(祈使句主旨句+内容)可知,本空(位于第四段段首)应是本段主旨句。根据本段中的"skipping major holidays or rush hour" "boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower"可知,本段建议跳过重大假期或高峰时间旅行。A项"非高峰时间去旅游"精准概括段落大意。
⑤根据空前的"Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place"可知,尽自己所能去保护旅游地,再根据空后的"You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there"可推断空处应提到如何Do your part, G项"考虑为游览的社区做一些贡献"既解释了上文,又是下文的原因。

⑤空前一句讲到了"The journey you're on won't follow a straight path"(你的旅途不会一路平坦),而空后讲到了"Push through, give it time and put in the effort"(坚持下去,给它时间,付出努力),这是面对困境时的做法,因此空处应承接上一句,讲到旅途中的困难,故E项"你会遇到障碍,有时你会感到沮丧"符合语境。

七、答案:FCGEA
解析:①分析语境可知,空前空后讲到了"我的丈夫和我""我们",因此,空处讲到的应该也是"我们",F项中"Our" "we"符合判断,且F项讲出了我们租公寓的目的,符合语境。
②空前一句讲到了"和通常的巴黎公寓不同,这里的水管可以使用",空后一句讲到了"我们的公寓楼里甚至还有一部小电梯",因此空处应与公寓或公寓楼有关,故C项符合语境。
③空前一句讲到了"他们吃得很好,却不发胖",而空后一句讲到了"法国的草莓尝起来不像硬纸板,相反,它们会像小炸弹一样在你的嘴里爆炸",因此空处讲到的应该是法国的食物带给人的感受,故G项符合语境。
④本题需结合上段内容作答,上一段讲到巴黎的食物非常美味,人们不需要吃太多就可以感到开心。空后讲述作者和丈夫购买食品杂货时发现巴黎的食物很贵,暗含法国人因此吃得少,故E项"那不是法国人比我们吃得少的唯一原因"符合语境。
⑤空前一句讲到了"法国的咖啡馆总是爆满",而空后一句讲到了"这些人什么时候去上班呢",据此可知,空处应该会讲到咖啡馆里的一些人,故A项符合语境。
八、答案:①-⑤ DGBCE

③空处是该段首句,结合全文可知,此处应为该段主旨句;再根据空处下句的内容(浏览书的目录、前言和章节的标题等)可推知,该段主要介绍在阅读前需要花上几分钟浏览一下书的内容,故B项正确。
④根据下文内容可知,历史类书籍比科学类书籍更容易阅读,前者每次可以阅读一章,而后者则仅仅可读一页。据此可以判断,空处应是对下文内容的总结:阅读的速度取决于你读的书的类型,故C项正确。
⑤根据该段首句可知,阅读时要在身边放一支铅笔和一张纸,据此可知,空处是为了说明此举的目的。因此,E项符合语境。
九、答案:GACBD
解析:①本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项引出本文主题—演讲者要训练。故选G项。
②下句"Focus on the speaking."是本段的主题句, 建议演讲者要把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象, 当站起来发表演讲时, 演讲者往往会把注意力放在"公众"上, 而不是"演讲"上。这是错误的做法, A项承上启下, 说明了上句做法的错误, 引出了下句正确的做法。故选A项。
③本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误, 但观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲, 除非是非常严重的错误。C项与上句承接, 故选C项。

②考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到"拜访医生的时候, 要保持好的态度", 空后两句则讲到"想想团队协作! 想想好的一面", 故E项符合语境。
③考查上下文衔接。本段小标题讲的是"跟踪记录个人感受", 空后一句则讲到了你这么做的话, 当医生问你的症状和药物给你带来的感受时, 你就可以更轻松地给出答案了, 因此该空讲的应该是具体的做法, 即记录自己的感受, 故D项符合语境。
④考查段落主旨句。本段主要涉及对病历的介绍, 故F项适合做本段的小标题。
⑤考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到当你不在医生办公室的时候, 写下你所有的问题, 和医生预约的时候, 随身带着这些问题, 而空后一句则讲到记住—没有什么问题是愚蠢的问题, 因此该空讲的应该是写下问题的好处, 故A项符合语境。
