1. 37_____
Nobody likes to talk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have.

I know this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! ___ 38 Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don’t deprive（使丧失） the world of your gift. It’s the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.

You can dream a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bout writing the great American play that you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper.

36. E 根据横线后一句I’d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )say, too many.我要说，太多了。这是对36句的回答，说明36句应该是一个疑问句，选项中只有E项How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow 是询问的是这一问题。说明我们经常会把今天的事情推迟到明天。故E项正确。
37. B 根据本段最后两句Don’t g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.不要到坟墓里再去追求梦想，现在就决定追求梦想，无论梦想是大还是小，立刻就要开始。也就是说不要拖到明天。在根据本段第一句Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point.没有人知道自己什么时候会死亡。可能是明天，也可能是后天。所以明天并不保证你会成功。故B正确。
38. G 根据本段标题The w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orld is waiting on your gift这个世界都在等待你的天赋。也就是说世界上的美国人都要发挥自己的天赋和才干。因为每个人的天赋和才干都是独一无二的。选项中只有G项“You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.”和该段的主题一致。

【名师点睛】
在完成七选五阅读时，我们可以从以下五个技巧着手：
技巧一：从细节逻辑上判断---因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有As a result结果------，thus/therefore因此，so (such)...如此------以至于等。
技巧二：从细节逻辑上判断---转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有：However然而, nevertheless仍然，然而，不过, nonetheless尽管如此，依然，然而, still还；然而, though可是，不过，然而, yet然而, in spite of不顾，不管, at any rate无论如何，至少, in any case无论如何，不管怎样, whoever无论是谁, whatever无论什么，on the contrary正相反, in contrast与此相反, 相比之下, by contrast相反, 相比之下, in comparison比较起来，比较地, by comparison相比之下, conversely相反(地), otherwise否则；除此以外，not---but不是-----而是，as well也等。
技巧三：从细节逻辑上判断---例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子、类比等）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。
技巧四：从细节逻辑上判断---递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。奇速英语名师总结了表示递进关系的连词有：also也, 而且, further另外(的)；, furthermore而且，此外, likewise同样地，照样地；也，又, similarly相似地，类似地, moreover而且再者，此外, in addition另外，加之, what’s more更重要的是, too也，还, either也, neither两者都不, not only…but also不但…而且等。
技巧五：从细节逻辑上判断---平列关系
表示列举关系的有：f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst首先, 第一, second第二, third第三…; firstly第一, 首先, secondly第二(点)；其次, thirdly第三…; first第一, next其次, then那么, 然后…; in the first place第一，首先, in the second place第二, 其次…; for one thing首先，一则, for another thing其次…; to begin with首先，第一, to conclude首先，第一等

4.【广东省汕头市金山中学2016届高三上学期期末考试】Q&A
Question: I have recen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tly got a senior position within my company．One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions． 16 My first reaction was to answer defensively．Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way．But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings
Answer: Congratulat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers （同事） is a hard task in itself and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required! Question-and-answer periods are a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points． 17
● 18
When a person is askin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification．
● Buy time
When facing a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately．Buy time by repeating the question in your own words． 19 These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question．
● Suggest a private meeting.
A one-to-one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers． 20
A．Show your true interest．
B．Restate the question with respect．
C．Some ideas can be quite concrete．
D．There were many difficult questions．
E．It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas．
F．You may also ask for clarification on the question．
G．Here are some ideas that can help prepare for your next meeting．
【答案】
16D
17G
18A
19F
20E
17G 根据下文的三段中的● Buy time ● Suggest a private meeting.说明都是针对这个问题提出的建议，所以本句是一个串联上下文的过渡句，故G项“Here are some ideas that can help prepare for your next meeting．”符合上下文的语境。
18A 根据本段第一句When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to说明对于别人提出的问题，要表现出你很感兴趣。这会让别人感觉很好，有利于沟通交流。故A项“Show your true interest．”正确。
19F 根据横线前一句Buy time by repeating the question in your own words．可知当很难的问题，无人 回答的时候，你可以重复一下这个问题。再根据横线下一句中These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.中的technique技巧，说明横线上阐述的也是在这种情况下的技巧。F项：You may also ask for clarification on the question．对这个问题进行进一步的说明。这也算技巧之一。故F项符合上下文。
20E 根据横线前一句A one-to-on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers．一对一进行的交流在更为安静的情况下进行交流而不是公开地进行交流，也许这是一种比公开交流更好地解决问题的方法，故E项“It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas．”符合上下文。

七选五阅读题的题的位置很灵活，我们可以根据设题在不同的位置采取不同的方法来解题。下面简单分析一下问题设在段尾的解题方法：
（1）.空白前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。
（2.）通常是结论性的概括性语。注意在选项 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中查找表示结果结论，总结等的信号词。Therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。
（3.）与前文是转折或对比关系 。此时要注 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意在选项中查找表示转折对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立，对比关系。
（4.）与前文是并列或排比关系 。在这种情 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此，根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常选项中会出现表示并列或递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他线索。
（5.）所选答案是引出下一段的内容 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来

【解析】
试题分析：本文属于说明文，主要介绍了青年旅社出现的前因后果和运营的详细情况介绍。
36C 根据后句This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.可知孩子们很少有机会到乡下去欣赏乡村的景色。故C项符合上下文。
37E 根据下句He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays.可知是这个人改变了这个情况。故E项内容符合上下文。
38A 根据前一句A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there可知房子太小了，要建设更大的房子了。故A项内容符合上下文。
39D 根据前句When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country可知年轻人必须要出示自己的card才可以享受这样的待遇。故D项符合上下文。
【名师点睛】
该题型给出的选项中我们可以发现一些特点：该题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。
1、先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。
2、再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。
3、注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。
4、注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。
5、注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，as well as，neither nor，either or，not only...but also，on one hand....on the other hand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。

However, there are various actions they can take to make that online presence more appealing. 36
Clean up your Facebook account
Clean up your Facebook ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) page and get rid of anything that could be considered offensive or held against you. Remember, the test is no longer “Would you want grandma to see it ” but “ 37 ”
Use a professional looking photo
38 , so make s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ure that first impression is a good one. Again, what worked at school is unlikely to impress the employers. Also, be consistent and use the same photo on all your online platforms.
__39
While it’s important t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o make the transition(过渡) from school to the workplace, you don’t want to leave everything behind. Make a point of keeping in touch with your school friends, teachers, professors, sports coaches, or anyone who could be helpful to you as you establish a career.

G. Here are a few suggestions that you might want to pass on.
【答案】
36G
37E
38C
39A
40F
37. E 根据前一句Remember, the test is no longer “Would you want grandma to see it ”要把自己在网络上的信息都清理掉，如果有不良的信息，看见这些信息的不是你奶奶，而是你的老板，那么就可能留下不好的印象。所以E项“Would you want a future employer to see it ”与上下文一致。
38. C 本段的标题是Use ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a professional looking photo使用一个看起来很职业的照片。这个照片的目的是让未来的老板看见，并留下很好的第一印象。一张照片可以说明很多问题。故C项“A picture is worth a thousand words”符合串联。
39. A 根据本段第一句，虽然 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )你现在正处于人生的过渡期，但是也不要什么都扔掉了。再根据第二句Make a point of keeping in touch with your school friends, teachers, professors, sports coaches, or anyone who could be helpful to you as you establish a career.你还要和你的朋友、老师、教授等等人保持联系，因为这些人可能会帮助你在事业上取得成功。也就是说你要构建自己的人际关系网络。故A正确。
40. F 根据本段标题Be yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urself说明本段主要讲述的是做你自己。选项中只有F项“Make sure your online presence is representative of who you really are.要确保网络上呈现的是真正的你。”与本段主题一致。
【名师点睛】
如果七选五阅读问题设在段尾时，我们要特别 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )注意与前文的关系，如何与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此 根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系 的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一 句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。
本文与上文两个标题：Clea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n up your Facebook account和Use a professional looking photo是并列关系，所以选项应该和之前两个一样使用祈使句，再根据本段中心思想可知A项正确。
如果所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头 是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。
本文是过渡句，是为了引出下句内容，从以下三段的标题可知这些都是作者给出的一些建议，所以G项正好是这样一个承上启下的句子。
如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主 题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。

If television did not cover the news, some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.可知本段主要讲述的是电视的作用，看电视很令人愉悦，而且看电视努力。如果我们不看电视，我们就不会知道世界上所发生的事情。故B项“Television news shows are impressive and interesting.”与本段中心思想是一致的。
37. G 根据横线前面一句V ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iewers are quickly bored with reporters who sit and talk into the camera.观众很快就厌倦了看着记者报道这些新闻。说明本段主要讲述的是电视的弱点，选项中只有G项“As a result, a complicated story is often cut short.”在叙述电视报道的弱点。
38. F 文章二、三段在叙 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )述电视的弱点，在第四段中叙述的是另外一种媒体：报刊杂志的优点。根据横线后两句They can include details, and a person with a special interest can take the time to read them. Others can stick to the headlines在报刊杂志中，可以详细地报道细节，同时还可以通过大标题了解中心思想。所以F项“newspapers and magazines do a better job of explaining complex events.”新闻报刊可以报道复杂的事件，与上一段最后一句的G项相呼应。
39. D 根据横线前一句Reading a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llows more freedom of choice than television阅读给读者选择阅读内容的自由，而电视观众只能观看电视里播放的内容，观众是没有自由的。故D项“The TV audience cannot decide which stories to watch.”与前一句相一致。

7选5考查的是语篇的连贯性和一致性，因此就要使用到各种达到连贯目的的各种衔接手段，即：词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。
1)词汇同现法
词汇同现是指属于同一词汇搭配范畴或者某一领 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )域的词汇在文章中共同出现，达到语义衔接的目的。一般来说，上下文中词汇的范畴越小，上下文的衔接关系越紧密。
2)代词线索
英语表达中代词出现的频率极高， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )代词的作用无非是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
3)数字线索
包括具体数字以及和数字相关的词汇诸如rati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o, rate等等。作者列出数字，除了和其他数字进行对比和比较之外，还可以用数据来说明一个观点。
4)逻辑关系线索
(1)并列与递进关系： and, or, also，neither...nor...,either...or...,likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to say ,as well as, the same ...as, besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to ,what is more

具体方法：
1．阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词
在阅读文章的开始部分、明确文章的基本话题以后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，要阅读五个空自的前后句，并将前后句中的解题线索，即关键词标记下来。关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组），专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。 2．阅读各个选项，尤其是选项的首句，标记关键词 3．比较并匹配上述两类关键词，确定答案
4．将确定的答案代入原文，看读起来是否通顺。
七选五口诀：文章标题猜大意；段首段尾主题句 ； 空前空后逻辑性； 同义举例与对比；
代词冠词大小写； 标点符号关键词； 相似句式或排比； 多个条款要对应。

According to a stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y it is discovered that fast learners (specifically language learners) have more white matter and less symmetrical(对称的) brains. 36 . Sometimes what seems so sophisticated needs the simplest solution. Here is how to know if you are a pretty quick learner.
1. You are not afraid to say “I don’t know”
Pretty quick le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arners accept that they do not know it all. They keep their minds open and are willing to ask questions and quiz for answers to know more. While some are reluctant and hesitant to show their ignorance on a subject, quick learners are not.
2. You are able to visualize it
37 They ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) take advantage of how to deal with it with all their senses. They visualize it by taking advantage of their mental powers to drive solutions and learning.
3. 38
Quick learners know t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat difficult problems do not need a difficult approach. Many great minds from Thomas Edison to Henry Ford and even Steve Jobs looked for ways to address challenges with simple solutions. They simplify and immerse themselves in their goals to find the easiest and simplest way out of a hole.
4. You are selective
39 Rather yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u take your time to broadly consider those that are worthy of your attention and assessment. Through this you are able to go after the most promising solutions
available.
5. You take action
After all is sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id and done, at the end of the day it is up to you to take action. If you are learning a new language you really cannot make so much progress if you do not speak the new language, whether you get it right or not. 40
A. You simplify.
B. Quick learners learn by doing and taking decisive action.
C. Learning fast or b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eing a quick learner depends on how we use our brains.
D. Quick learning has productivity attached to it.
E. When dealt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with problems, quick learners are multidimensional (多维的).
F. You do not go ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )after all the possible explanations or solutions to a problem.
G. You understand that many questions have no answers.
【答案】
36C
37E
38A
39F
40B
37. E 根据本段最后一句They visualize it by taking advantage of their mental powers to drive solutions and learning.可知迅速的学习者可以通过利用他们的精神力量来驱动学习并设想出，他们会利用全部的知觉来处理问题。说明本段讲述的是处理具体的问题的方法，所以E项When dealt with problems, quick learners are multidimensional (多维的).与本段中心思想一致。
38. A 根据本段最后一句T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey simplify and immerse themselves in their goals to find the easiest and simplest way out of a hole.可知快速学习者能够“simplify”简化问题，然后找到最简单容易的方法来解决问题。说明本段介绍的是他们的化繁为简的能力。故A项“You simplify”正确。
39. F 根据本段标题You a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re selective可知你有选择性。你可以从很多的方法中找出最简单的，你不要想把所有的方法都找出来。故F项与本段主题一致。
40. B 根据本段标题You take a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ction，可知真正的迅速学习者会立刻做出决定并采取行动，有很强的执行力、B项与本段第一句After all is said and done, at the end of the day it is up to you to take action.相一致。故B正确。

试题分析：在生活中每个人都很很多目标，那么如何才能达到我们设立的目标呢？文章中告诉我们只需要做到简单的几步，级可以实现自己的目标。
1. D该空所在段落讲述的是要把自己的目 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )标确定下来。根据该空的前一句But do not make a list of wishes.不要列出很多的愿望，因为愿望太多反而难以实现。我们一次只要集中注意力做一件事情即可。D项与前一句相对应。
2. F 根据横线后一句This ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will be your map for getting from ''where you are now'' to ''where you want to go''. You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it.中的“this”是你从“在哪里”到“去哪里”的地图，也就是说this指“计划”，计划在引领这我们实行目标，有了计划我们才知道自己想要的是什么。所以F项“Make an action plan with care.”与本段中心思想是一致的。
3. E根据该空的前一句Some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will really get you lost without a clue of how to get there．可知，如果没有计划、不知道如何做的话，真的会让你迷失的。根据横线后一句For reading is a valuable source of inspirations.提到了阅读的作用。选项中的E项中though“可是；但是”表示转折，其内容“书会很有帮助”，和上文讲到的“你会迷失”契合，和下句中“书是灵感的来源”相一致。故该空应填E.
【名师点睛】
本文题设空在每段开头，设空在文中；在七选五阅读在设空的位置和选择答案是有规律可循的。
我们可以根据设空的位置选择答案：
1)在段首：第一种可能是段落主题句。认真阅读 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。第二种可能是段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
如就根据段落一致的原则来判断，横线 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一句.中的“this”是你从“在哪里”到“去哪里”的地图，也就是说this指“计划”。所以F项“Make an action plan with care.”正确。
2)在段尾：通常是结论、概括性语句。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )做题时一是注意空白前的一句或两句，二是注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语。三是要注意与前文的逻辑关系，找到关键的线索词句，如表示转折，对比、并列或排比的关系。
还有可能这一空是引出下一段的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。
如果第一段的段尾是空白， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
3）在段中：确定是主题句还是展开句。尤其 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )注意分析空前后的逻辑关系和行文逻辑及内容的连贯性，注意句间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。
如就属于考查内容的连贯性，可以根据横线前后两句判断出一次不要做多件事情，只要专注于一件即可。

试题分析：本文属于说明文，告诉我们大笑对健康很有好处，同时文章中还给出了一些让我们更快乐有更多笑声的三个建议。
36. E 根据前一句A g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ood laugh is like a mild workout. It exercises the muscles, gets the blood flowing, decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system.说明大笑对我们有很好的作用，那么在生活中我们应该更多大笑。另外从下文三个黑体字部分可知这些都是让我们有更多笑声的方法。所以E项“The following are some ways to enjoy more laughter and joy in your life”属于上下文的过渡句。
37. B 根据前句We all have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )obstacles in life and we all make mistakes.在生活中我们都会遇见障碍也都会犯错。犯错是生活中很正常的一件事情，所以我们不要因此而责备自己。故B项“There is no reason to blame yourself for it.”符合上下文串联。
38. C 本段的标题是Find ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the humor in a bad situation.在糟糕的情景中找到幽默的一面。告诉我们当我们遇见困难时，要学会从中找到有趣的一面，让自己开心快乐。再根据横线前一句Sure , there are some situations where you are really sad当然，有一些我们真的很难受的情况。那么我们要从这些令人难受的情景中找到有趣的东西。故C项符合上下文。
39. G 本段的标题为Remind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) yourself of funny moments from the past.让自己想起过去那些的有趣的时刻，因为那些时刻对我们的情绪有很好的影响。所以我们要经常想起这些时刻，尤其是在我们悲伤难过的时候。选项中只有G项内容与本段中心思想一致。
【名师点睛】
在七选五阅读中，根据关键 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )词来选择答案是很重要的一个方法。阅读各空格前后句，圈出关键词，并比较选项和原文的关键词 在了解文章大概方向和了解选项关键词之后，就要将空格的前后句中的提示线索，即关键词圈出来。方便找到文章和选项的匹配点。
1、名词是句子主要说明的内 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )容，是不会发生改变的，所以原文出现的关键词一定是会在选项当中出现的，这种出现有两种情况：（1）、原词；（2）、替换词，即代词的指代，比如：_______. This kind 由于空格的后一句中有一个“this kind”，所以空格处必然会出现kind的提示，接下来只要在选项当中挑出带有这个名词的选项进行匹配就可以了。在名词的替换词当中，要务必注意空格前后已经选项当中出现的“the”。形容词和副词在考察过程中基本不会出现原词的情况，这样就失去了出题的意义，但选项当中一定会出现和原文感彩一致、同类的形容词和副词。
2、代词或定冠词，尤其注意句子中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知 道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，从选项中找这类句型。
3、特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。 4、连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but, however, yet, though, nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如 and, also, as well as, neither …nor, either …or, not only...but also, on one hand....on the other hand 等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系，从而选择最佳选项。

Real-life Room Escape Games
Real-life room esca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pe games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues (线索), and escape the room within a set time limit.
The games are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )based off Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. 36 Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan, and China. 37 For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.
38 Soon, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.
The games were so suc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cessful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small, according to Want China Times. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August. 39 “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles,” Tian Xiaochuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan, told Want China Times.
Earlier this yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.” 40 Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily.
A. Each game adds local themes to settings.
B. And seven new game locations quickly followed.
C. They should also be brave enough to face their fears.
D. Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.
E. Weekend ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) or day event escape games have been held in some stores.
F. Permanent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) real life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.
G. Players must ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room.
【答案】
36G
37A
38F
39B
40D
37. A 根据横线后一句For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.一些游戏要求玩家从监狱的牢房里逃脱，有一些游戏要求玩家从太空站里逃脱。也就是说不同的“密室逃亡”游戏都有不同的场景设置。所以A项“Each game adds local themes to settings.”内容与上下文相符。
38. F 根据横线后一句Soon, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.可知本段主要讲述的是这一游戏的发展历程，选项F项“Permanent real life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.”在阐述这一游戏的第一次出现的情况。
39. B 根据前一句In t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August.可知在深圳市，在去年八月份开办了第一个密室逃亡游戏。句中的the first是关键词，接着其他的类似游戏也开始出现。所以B项“And seven new game locations quickly followed.”七个新游戏很快就随之出现了。B项符合上下文串联。
40. D 根据后一句Some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng,可知有些玩家把“监狱”里的设施拆除了，说明他们兴奋过头了。与横线前一句形成呼应，这款游戏让玩家很兴奋，所以D项“Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.”把前后句很好地串联起来了。
【名师点睛】
本文五小题的答案我们都可以通过研究横线前后句的逻辑关系及连接词得出，所以我们一定要重视句子与句子之间的联系。
1．理清句际间意义的关系
文章的内容是根据各层各段的大意有机地 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )组合而成，各个层次，各个段落之间不管怎样错落有致，但它所表达的内容都是要围绕中心的，各句之间都有一定的语脉，从逻辑意义上来看，语段的句际关系可分为平列、顺序、层递、转折、总分、解释、因果等关系。构成语段的各个句子之间有时可以包含一种以上的句际关系。因此，理解阅读材料时一定要把握语脉，理清句际间的关系，进而理解语段或全文的内容。
2．找出句子之间的连接性的词语
文章的语句间的组合，除了从语句间的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意义关系分析外，还可借助句子之间的连接性词语来把握，因为连接性词语能表明这个语段句与句之间、层与层之间的基本关系有承接关系（如 so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等）平列关系（如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude 等）。
如中，前一句中提到了th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e first escape game location opened last August.在深圳市，去年八月开办了第一家密室逃亡游戏。其中的“the first”就是关键词，接下来应该是讲述其他的密室逃亡游戏的开展情况。所以B项正确。

1. Recycle everything, especially paper!
The amount of p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aper a college student goes through every year is enormous. There are class notes, term papers, student newspapers, graphs and pictures printed out plus countless other random items. 37 , but the way you handle all the paper can really help create a green campus. Look for recycling boxes by dorms, restaurants and classrooms.
2. Use your printer wisely.
38 . This i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a huge way to save on paper. Also, to save ink, use the low quality setting on files that don’t need to look too nice. Lastly, think about what you’re printing out. If you can show someone the website on a screen, do it. You don’t need to print out.
3. Limit the use of paper napkins(餐巾).
We’re not te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lling you to eat cleaner, but we’re telling you not to overdo it. Generally, a lot of fast food is eaten by college students, which means a lot of napkins get grabbed(拿取) on the way out. 39 .
4. Walk, bike, and limit the use of your car.
Most campuses, esp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecially those that are trying to become a more eco-friendly campus, have pretty good public transportation. 40 . Walking or biking will help make your campus green. If you must drive, try to find others who need to as well, and carpool to reduce pollution.
Limit the amount you take
Buy as many recycled goods as possible
We know that these things can’t be avoided
There are plenty things that universities have been doing
On top of that, almost all universities are pedestrian(行人) friendly

Sometimes what seems so sophisticated needs the simplest solution. Here is how to know if you are a pretty quick learner.
1. You are not afraid to say “I don’t know”
Pretty quick learners ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )accept that they do not know it all. They keep their minds open and are willing to ask questions and quiz for answers to know more. While some are reluctant and hesitant to show their ignorance on a subject, quick learners are not.

4. You are selective
39 Rath ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er you take your time to broadly consider those that are worthy of your attention and assessment. Through this you are able to go after the most promising solutions

Real-life Room Escape Games
Real-life room esc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues (线索), and escape the room within a set time limit.
The games are bas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed off Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. 36 Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan, and China. 37 For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.
38 Soon, they w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.
The games were s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small, according to Want China Times. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August. 39 “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles,” Tian Xiaochuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan, told Want China Times.
Earlier this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.” 40 Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily.

14.【河北省正定中学2 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )016届高三上学期期末考试】Universities around the country are doing everything they can to become green campuses. 36 , but there are also items that every student can do to contribute to a green campus and an eco-friendly lifestyle.
1. Recycle everything, especially paper!
The amount of p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aper a college student goes through every year is enormous. There are class notes, term papers, student newspapers, graphs and pictures printed out plus countless other random items. 37 , but the way you handle all the paper can really help create a green campus. Look for recycling boxes by dorms, restaurants and classrooms.
2. Use your printer wisely.
38 . This ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is a huge way to save on paper. Also, to save ink, use the low quality setting on files that don’t need to look too nice. Lastly, think about what you’re printing out. If you can show someone the website on a screen, do it. You don’t need to print out.
3. Limit the use of paper napkins(餐巾).
We’re not telling ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you to eat cleaner, but we’re telling you not to overdo it. Generally, a lot of fast food is eaten by college students, which means a lot of napkins get grabbed(拿取) on the way out. 39 .
4. Walk, bike, and limit the use of your car.
Most campuses, espec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ially those that are trying to become a more eco-friendly campus, have pretty good public transportation. 40 . Walking or biking will help make your campus green. If you must drive, try to find others who need to as well, and carpool to reduce pollution.
Limit the amount you take
Buy as many recycled goods as possible
We know that these things can’t be avoided
There are plenty things that universities have been doing
On top of that, almost all universities are pedestrian(行人) friendly
Therefore, carpooling has become more and more popular these days.
Teachers usually ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) don’t mind if they read papers that are printed on both sides of the paper
