【技巧点拨】
高考英语七选五具有多方面的命题特点，主要体现在文章的选材、设空、选项以及考查能力等维度，以下是详细分析：
文章选材特点
体裁多样：以说明文和议论文为主，偶尔也会出现记叙文。说明文通常会围绕某个主题，如健康生活方式、学习方法、科技发展等，进行条理清晰的介绍和说明；议论文则会针对某个话题展开论述，阐述观点和论据。
题材广泛：涉及日常生活、社会文化、教育、科技、环保等多个领域，内容贴近学生的生活实际和认知水平，具有较强的实用性和时代性。比如可能会选取关于人工智能对生活影响、如何培养良好的人际关系等题材的文章。
篇幅适中：文章长度一般在 200 词至 300 词左右，段落数量通常为 4 至 6 段，这样的篇幅既能保证文章有足够的内容来设置题目，又不会让学生阅读负担过重，能够在规定时间内完成阅读和答题。
设空位置特点
段首设空：一般是段落的主题句，起到概括段落大意、引领段落内容的作用。要求考生能够根据段落的具体内容，提炼出核心观点，从选项中选择能够准确表达该段落主题的句子。
段中设空：通常考查句子之间的衔接和逻辑关系，需要考生根据空格前后的句子内容，判断其与上下文是并列、递进、转折、因果等哪种逻辑关系，从而选择合适的选项使文章逻辑连贯。
段尾设空：可能是对段落内容的总结，也可能是引出下一段的内容，起到承上启下的作用。有时需要考生总结归纳段落的主要内容，有时则要根据下一段的内容，选择能够自然过渡到下一段的句子。
选项设置特点
主旨概括句：选项中会有一些是对文章某个段落或整体内容的概括性句子，通常语言简洁明了，能够准确传达文章或段落的核心思想，考查考生对文章整体或局部的概括能力。
过渡衔接句：这类选项主要用于连接上下文，使文章的逻辑更加流畅。它们会包含一些逻辑关系词或起到衔接作用的短语，如 “however”“therefore”“in addition” 等，考查考生对文章逻辑关系的理解和把握能力。
细节支撑句：选项中还会有一些是对文章中某个观点或主题的具体细节阐述，通过提供具体的例子、数据、事实等，来支持文章的主要内容，考查考生对文章细节的理解和匹配能力。
考查能力特点
阅读理解能力：要求考生能够快速阅读并理解文章的主旨大意、段落大意、句子含义等，准确把握文章的整体结构和逻辑脉络。
逻辑推理能力：需要考生根据文章中出现的逻辑关系词、上下文的语义关联等，推断句子之间、段落之间的逻辑关系，如因果关系、转折关系、并列关系等，从而选择合适的选项。
词汇运用能力：考查考生对词汇的理解和运用能力，包括词汇的同义替换、上下义关系、词汇搭配等。考生需要通过词汇线索来判断选项与文章内容的匹配度。
分析判断能力：考生要能够对文章的结构、内容、逻辑等进行分析，判断每个选项在文章中的合适位置，排除干扰选项，选择最符合语境和逻辑的答案

（2025·云南昭通·模拟预测）How to Study Without Getting Bored
Studying is not always the most interesting task within your day, but it is a necessary one. Even though it is required, everyone has gotten bored at one time or another while studying. 1 There are some suggestions you can follow.
Mix up your topics. To help you not get bored, you should change up the topics that you are studying. It is unlikely that you only have one subject to study for at a time so mix up what you study every half an hour to an hour or so. For example, study history for 45 minutes, English for 45 minutes, and math for 45 minutes. 2
Take notes as you go. While you are reading a chapter in a textbook, have a notebook out and take down important notes about what you are reading. Not only will it help keep you engaged, you will also be learning more because you process the information as you read it. 3 This will make the task visually appealing to you and help keep you interested in your notes.
Avoid electronics. If you have your cell phone or laptop right with you when you study, you are less likely to pay attention to studying and will become bored more easily. 4 If you really need to have your laptop for study materials, avoid going on social media sites, or playing games.
5 One reason why you get bored may be that you have no clear idea of where your study session is going or what you need to accomplish. Plan ahead and have what you want to do in your mind before you begin to study. Lay out what you know you need to get accomplished and how long you need to take to complete it. A clear objective will help you get rid of boredom.
A．Plan your end goals.
B．Pick colorful highlighters.
C．How to keep boredom away
D．You may be accustomed to electronics.
E．Leave your phone and laptop somewhere out of sight.
F．If you switch it often, you won’t be likely to get bored.
G．Different subjects help you maintain your motivation for learning.
【答案】1．C 2．F 3．B 4．E 5．A
【难度】0.65
【知识点】学习、申请/请求/建议
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些如何学习而不感到无聊的建议。
1．由标题“How to Study Without Getting Bored (如何学习而不感到无聊)”，上文“Even though it is required, everyone has gotten bored at one time or another while studying. (尽管这是必需的，但每个人在学习时都会时不时地感到无聊)”，下文“There are some suggestions you can follow. (您可以遵循一些建议)”和各段首句“Mix up your topics. (把你的科目打乱)”，“Take notes as you go. (边阅读边记笔记)”及“Avoid electronics. (避免电子产品)”可知，本文主讲一些如何学习而不感到无聊的建议，此处应引出整篇的主题是避免学习时感到无聊，C选项“如何避免无聊？”切合语境。故选C项。
2．由上文“It is unlikely that you only have one subject to study for at a time so mix up what you study every half an hour to an hour or so. For example, study history for 45 minutes, English for 45 minutes, and math for 45 minutes. (你不太可能一次只学习一门学科，所以把你每半小时到一个小时左右学习的内容弄混。例如，学习历史45分钟，英语45分钟，数学45分钟)”可知，下文通过举例表明改变学习科目有助于避免无聊，F选项“如果你经常换科目，你就不太可能感到无聊。”切合语境，选项中it指代上文subject。故选F项。
3．由本段首句“Take notes as you go. (边阅读边记笔记)”可知本段中心为避免学习时感到无聊的建议二：边走边记笔记，强调记笔记这个行为，结合下文“This will make the task visually appealing to you and help keep you interested in your notes. (这将使任务在视觉上吸引你，并帮助你对笔记保持兴趣)”讲有东西让记笔记在视觉上有吸引力并让你保持记笔记的兴趣，可得出该空内容与“让笔记更有吸引力”有关，B选项“挑选彩色荧光笔。”切合语境。故选B项。
4．由标题“Avoid electronics. (避免电子产品)”可知本段中心为避免学习时感到无聊的建议三：避免电子产品，结合上文“If you have your cell phone or laptop right with you when you study, you are less likely to pay attention to studying and will become bored more easily. (如果你在学习时随身携带手机或笔记本电脑，你就不太可能专心学习，也更容易感到无聊)”指出不避免电子设备干扰的后果，可得出该空内容与远离电子设备相关，E选项“把你的手机和笔记本电脑放在看不见的地方。”切合语境。故选E项。
5．该空选取主题句，需总结下文。由下文“One reason why you get bored may be that you have no clear idea of where your study session is going or what you need to accomplish. Plan ahead and have what you want to do in your mind before you begin to study. Lay out what you know you need to get accomplished and how long you need to take to complete it. A clear objective will help you get rid of boredom. (你感到无聊的一个原因可能是你不清楚你的学习课程的目标，或者你需要完成什么。在开始学习之前，提前计划好你想做什么。列出你知道你需要完成的事情以及完成它需要多长时间。一个明确的目标将帮助你摆脱无聊)”可知，下文建议计划好学习目标，有助于消除无聊，A选项“计划好你的最终目标。”切合语境。故选A项。

（2025·云南昆明·一模）Are you looking for a houseplant that serves as a dramatic background while purifying the air Give Majesty Palm a try. Here are some tips to help you plant and take care of it.
Guarantee proper light. Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light. 6 . Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.
Keep the soil wet. Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended. However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water. 7 .
Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air. 8 . If you happen to live in a home with cold, dry air, you can still grow it by keeping a humidifier in that room.
9 . Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.
Repot when necessary. Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won’t be able to hold it. 10 . You just need to increase the pot size by 2 inches and water it two days before repotting so that the soil becomes loose and it’s ready for the process.
A．Feed it appropriately
B．Select fertilizers carefully
C．Then, it is time to change the container
D．It has to learn how to survive in such areas
E．In short, extra water must be able to escape
F．That is to say, it is not a drought-tolerant plant
G．It doesn’t mean it loves to live in a dark area, though
【答案】6．G 7．E 8．F 9．A 10．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】方法/策略、植物
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何种植室内植物“陛下棕榈”。
6．根据上文“Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light.(在马达加斯加的自然栖息地，陛下棕榈习惯生活在较大的树下，这使它能够忍受间接的光线)”以及后文“Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.(因此，把它放在阳光充足的窗户附近，以获得足够的间接光线将是你最好的选择)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出陛下棕榈并不喜欢黑暗，要放在阳光充足的地方。故G选项“但这并不意味着它喜欢生活在黑暗的地方”符合语境，故选G。
7．根据上文“Keep the soil wet. Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended. However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water.(保持土壤湿润。强烈建议在排水不充分的土壤中种植，土壤中有大量的粘土。然而，尽管它喜欢潮湿的环境，但如果根部一直停留在水面以下，它最终会腐烂)”可知，上文提到根部一直停留在水面以下，它最终会腐烂，但是喜欢潮湿，本句为本段最后一句，故总结其如何浇水的问题。故E选项“简而言之，多余的水必须能够逸出”符合语境，故选E。
8．根据上文“Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air.(保持空气湿润。陛下棕榈属于热带植物，需要潮湿的空气)”可知，前后文提到需要潮湿的空气。由此可知，它不耐旱。故F选项“也就是说，它不是一种耐旱植物”符合语境，故选F。
9．根据后文“Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.(就像许多其他植物一样，如果你给它适当的施肥，它也能长得更好。只需在春季和夏季施肥即可。一旦冬天来了，天气又冷又暗，你就根本不需要施肥了)”可知，本段主要说明了如何施肥的问题——需要适当施肥，A选项Feed it appropriately对应后文fertilize it properly。故A选项“适当喂养”符合语境，故选A。
10．根据上文“Repot when necessary. Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won’t be able to hold it.(必要时换盆。虽然一直呆在客厅里，但陛下棕榈会长得很大，花盆也装不下了)”可知，上文提到花盆装不下，结合“必要时换盆”可知需要换容器了，故C选项“然后，是时候换容器了”符合语境，故选C。

（24-25高三上·河南信阳·一模）Chicken Soup: A Time-Honored Remedy
Chicken soup has been a traditional remedy for centuries, with roots in ancient China and a mention byPedanius Dioscorides in 60 A．D．This dish is prepared differently across cultures but is universally believed to offer comfort and aid in recovery.
11
Why is Chicken Soup more than comfortable The rich flavor and taste in chicken soup, shared by foods like cheese and mushrooms, is linked to an increased appetite and improved digestion. 12 . The rich flavor may also enable the body to absorb protein more efficiently, reducing digestive symptoms often associated with lung illnesses.
Homemade noodles with chicken soup not only contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and a wealth of nutrients, but also have elements that can relieve symptoms like a stuffy nose and coughing. Chicken provides protein to support the immune system, vegetables offer essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health, and noodles supply carbohydrates for energy. 13 .
Anti-Inflammatory and Clearing Effects
Inflammation (炎症) is a natural response to illness, leading to cold and flu symptoms like phlegm (痰液) production, sore throat, and blockage. Chicken soup has been shown to reduce inflammation by preventing white blood cells from reaching inflamed tissues. 14 .
Maximizing Health Benefits
Although there is also canned soup, homemade chicken soup is a nutritional powerhouse. For ideal benefits, choose homemade chicken soup with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices. 15 . The homemade chicken soup aids in rehydration (补水), and the overall composition of chicken soup supports the body’s healing process.
While chicken soup is not a miracle cure for all illnesses, scientific evidence supports its role in aiding recovery and providing comfort during illness. This age-old remedy, often prepared with love, continues to be a symbol of care and a practical aid in the face of sickness.
A．Regular Consumption for Best Benefits
B．The Scientific Theories Behind Chicken Soup
C．In contrast, canned soups lack these nutrients
D．Besides, the steam from the soup can help clear phlegm from the airways
E．These combined elements make chicken soup a symptom-relieving remedy
F．This is crucial when illnesses reduce one’s appetite and necessary nutrients taking
G．Chicken soup isn’t a cure-all and has its limits in effectively treating various illnesses
【答案】11．B 12．F 13．E 14．D 15．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】食物与饮料
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了鸡汤作为一种传统的治疗方法已经有几个世纪的历史了，解释了其治疗作用背后的原理。
11．根据本段内容“Why is Chicken Soup more than comfortable The rich flavor and taste in chicken soup, shared by foods like cheese and mushrooms, is linked to an increased appetite and improved digestion. (为什么鸡汤不仅仅是舒服？鸡汤的浓郁风味和口感与奶酪和蘑菇等食物一样，有助于增加食欲和改善消化。)”可知，本段主要分析了鸡汤让人感觉舒服的科学解释，故B选项“鸡汤背后的科学理论”符合语境，故选B。
12．根据上文“Why is Chicken Soup more than comfortable The rich flavor and taste in chicken soup, shared by foods like cheese and mushrooms, is linked to an increased appetite and improved digestion. (为什么鸡汤不仅仅是舒服？鸡汤的浓郁风味和口感与奶酪和蘑菇等食物一样，有助于增加食欲和改善消化。)”可知，上文提到鸡汤具有有助于增加食欲和改善消化的功能，本句承接上文，说明这一特点的作用。故F选项“当疾病减少食欲和必要的营养摄入时，这是至关重要的”符合语境，故选F。
13．根据上文“Homemade noodles with chicken soup not only contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and a wealth of nutrients, but also have elements that can relieve symptoms like a stuffy nose and coughing. Chicken provides protein to support the immune system, vegetables offer essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health, and noodles supply carbohydrates for energy. (自制鸡汤面不仅含有抗氧化剂和丰富的营养成分，而且还含有可以缓解鼻塞和咳嗽等症状的元素。鸡肉提供蛋白质以支持免疫系统，蔬菜提供必需的维生素和矿物质，有助于整体健康，面条提供碳水化合物以提供能量。)”可知，上文分析了鸡肉、蔬菜以及面条所能发挥的作用，本句为本段最后一句，对这些因素进行总结。故E选项“这些因素的结合使鸡汤成为一种缓解症状的药物”符合语境，故选E。
14．根据上文“Inflammation (炎症) is a natural response to illness, leading to cold and flu symptoms like phlegm (痰液) production, sore throat, and blockage. Chicken soup has been shown to reduce inflammation by preventing white blood cells from reaching inflamed tissues. (炎症是对疾病的自然反应，会导致感冒和流感症状，如痰多、喉咙痛和堵塞。鸡汤已被证明可以通过阻止白细胞到达发炎组织来减少炎症。)”可知，上文提到鸡汤可以减少炎症，本句是对上文的补充说明，D选项中phlegm对应上文phlegm。故D选项“此外，汤的蒸汽可以帮助清除气道中的痰”符合语境，故选D。
15．根据上文“Although there is also canned soup, homemade chicken soup is a nutritional powerhouse. For ideal benefits, choose homemade chicken soup with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices. (虽然也有罐头汤，但自制鸡汤是营养的源泉。为了达到理想的效果，选择用各种蔬菜、草药和香料自制的鸡汤。)”以及后文“The homemade chicken soup aids in rehydration (补水), and the overall composition of chicken soup supports the body’s healing process. (自制鸡汤有助于补水，鸡汤的整体成分支持身体的愈合过程。)”可知，上文提到了罐头汤，后文提到了自制鸡汤的好处，推测本句是在说明罐头汤的缺点，故C选项“相比之下，罐装汤缺乏这些营养素”符合语境，故选C。

（24-25高三上·湖南长沙·一模）Why is it that when you have the most to do you feel the least able to act This sense of helplessness — also called “overwhelm freeze” — always seems to set in when you have a dozen things on your list, all equally pressing. Or it shows up when you have one huge thing to accomplish that really matters. 16 . These expert tips can help you snap out of your frozen state and put you back in control of all things.
Minimize the elephant task
First, you need to turn down your stress levels. Try taking a few deep breaths. If it’s a dispiriting task that’s causing you to feel overwhelmed, the advice is to break it into tiny steps. It’s like that old saying: 17 One bite at a time. These steps should be ridiculously small. The measuring stick is that your task should be so small that you feel no resistance. The steps also need to be concrete, restricting you to a time, location and duration when you’ll get a certain thing done. Take some of the pressure off, too, by telling yourself it’s OK if you do a bad job. 18
Encourage yourself
For an overwhelming list of lots of little to-dos, the key is to start strategically. 19 However, another option is to begin with the most enjoyable task. “We’re so focused on what should to do that we forget that sometimes there are some wants in our heart, and following that can be very refreshing,” Dr Hendriksen said. “If all this has to get done, then I might as well approach the one where I feel the least resistance.”
Encouraging yourself can also help break the ice with a long list or that one task you really don’t want to do. If there’s an email you need to send that you keep putting off, promise yourself ten guilt-free minutes of Internet celebrity gossip afterward. 20 “You use something you like to do to reward something you don’t like to do,” Dr Hendriksen said. “That has been around for 50 years and it’s a very successful technique.”
A．How do you eat an elephant
B．Thus, you have no choice but to give up.
C．Or pair a pleasant task with an unpleasant one.
D．You could do the most important thing first.
E．What do you feed an elephant in the zoo
F．Therefore, you are stuck in how to even begin.
G．You can always come back and improve on it later.
【答案】16．F 17．A 18．G 19．D 20．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】日常生活 、方法/策略
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些专家建议，帮助读者摆脱因事情太多或任务艰巨而产生的僵局，重新掌控所有事情。
16．上文“This sense of helplessness — also called ‘overwhelm freeze’ — always seems to set in when you have a dozen things on your list, all equally pressing. Or it shows up when you have one huge thing to accomplish that really matters.(这种无助感——也被称为“压倒性僵局”——似乎总是在你的清单上有十几件同样紧迫的事情时出现。或者当你有一件真正重要的大事要完成时，它就会出现)”讲述了人们会在任务很多或很艰巨时感到无助，F选项“Therefore, you are stuck in how to even begin.(因此，你甚至不知道该如何开始)”承接上文，说明了这种无助感导致的结果，即不知道该如何开始完成任务，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
17．下文“One bite at a time.(一次一口)”暗示了与“吃”相关的谚语或比喻，A选项“How do you eat an elephant (你怎么吃一头大象 )”符合语境，该句常与“One bite at a time.”连用，用来比喻完成艰巨任务时要一步一步来。故选A项。
18．上文“Take some of the pressure off, too, by telling yourself it’s OK if you do a bad job.(也告诉自己，如果你做得不好也没关系，以此来减轻一些压力)”建议减轻压力，不要过于追求完美，G选项“You can always come back and improve on it later.(你以后随时可以回来改进它)”承接上文，说明现在做得不好也没关系，因为以后还有机会改进，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
19．上文“For an overwhelming list of lots of little to-dos, the key is to start strategically.(对于一大堆令人不知所措的小事，关键是要有策略地开始)”说明要有策略地开始完成任务，D选项“You could do the most important thing first.(你可以先做最重要的事)”符合语境，提出了一种有策略的开始方式，即先做最重要的事。下文“However, another option is to begin with the most enjoyable task.(然而，另一个选择是从最愉快的任务开始)”与D选项构成转折关系，说明了除了先做最重要的事之外，还可以选择从最愉快的任务开始。故选D项。
20．上文“If there’s an email you need to send that you keep putting off, promise yourself ten guilt-free minutes of Internet celebrity gossip afterward.(如果你有一封一直拖延着要发的邮件，那就答应自己之后享受十分钟无罪恶感的网络名人八卦时间)”举例说明了如何用自己喜欢的事情来鼓励自己完成不喜欢的事情，C选项“Or pair a pleasant task with an unpleasant one.(或者把一个愉快的任务和一个不愉快的任务搭配在一起)”承接上文，总结了这种方法，即把愉快的任务和不愉快的任务搭配在一起。下文“You use something you like to do to reward something you don’t like to do,(你用你喜欢做的事情来奖励你不喜欢做的事情)”与C选项语意一致。故选C项。

高考英语七选五具有多方面的命题特点，主要体现在文章的选材、设空、选项以及考查能力等维度，以下是详细分析：
文章选材特点
体裁多样：以说明文和议论文为主，偶尔也会出现记叙文。说明文通常会围绕某个主题，如健康生活方式、学习方法、科技发展等，进行条理清晰的介绍和说明；议论文则会针对某个话题展开论述，阐述观点和论据。
题材广泛：涉及日常生活、社会文化、教育、科技、环保等多个领域，内容贴近学生的生活实际和认知水平，具有较强的实用性和时代性。比如可能会选取关于人工智能对生活影响、如何培养良好的人际关系等题材的文章。
篇幅适中：文章长度一般在 200 词至 300 词左右，段落数量通常为 4 至 6 段，这样的篇幅既能保证文章有足够的内容来设置题目，又不会让学生阅读负担过重，能够在规定时间内完成阅读和答题。
设空位置特点
段首设空：一般是段落的主题句，起到概括段落大意、引领段落内容的作用。要求考生能够根据段落的具体内容，提炼出核心观点，从选项中选择能够准确表达该段落主题的句子。
段中设空：通常考查句子之间的衔接和逻辑关系，需要考生根据空格前后的句子内容，判断其与上下文是并列、递进、转折、因果等哪种逻辑关系，从而选择合适的选项使文章逻辑连贯。
段尾设空：可能是对段落内容的总结，也可能是引出下一段的内容，起到承上启下的作用。有时需要考生总结归纳段落的主要内容，有时则要根据下一段的内容，选择能够自然过渡到下一段的句子。
选项设置特点
主旨概括句：选项中会有一些是对文章某个段落或整体内容的概括性句子，通常语言简洁明了，能够准确传达文章或段落的核心思想，考查考生对文章整体或局部的概括能力。
过渡衔接句：这类选项主要用于连接上下文，使文章的逻辑更加流畅。它们会包含一些逻辑关系词或起到衔接作用的短语，如 “however”“therefore”“in addition” 等，考查考生对文章逻辑关系的理解和把握能力。
细节支撑句：选项中还会有一些是对文章中某个观点或主题的具体细节阐述，通过提供具体的例子、数据、事实等，来支持文章的主要内容，考查考生对文章细节的理解和匹配能力。
考查能力特点
阅读理解能力：要求考生能够快速阅读并理解文章的主旨大意、段落大意、句子含义等，准确把握文章的整体结构和逻辑脉络。
逻辑推理能力：需要考生根据文章中出现的逻辑关系词、上下文的语义关联等，推断句子之间、段落之间的逻辑关系，如因果关系、转折关系、并列关系等，从而选择合适的选项。
词汇运用能力：考查考生对词汇的理解和运用能力，包括词汇的同义替换、上下义关系、词汇搭配等。考生需要通过词汇线索来判断选项与文章内容的匹配度。
分析判断能力：考生要能够对文章的结构、内容、逻辑等进行分析，判断每个选项在文章中的合适位置，排除干扰选项，选择最符合语境和逻辑的答案

（2025·云南昭通·模拟预测）How to Study Without Getting Bored
Studying is not always the most interesting task within your day, but it is a necessary one. Even though it is required, everyone has gotten bored at one time or another while studying. 1 There are some suggestions you can follow.
Mix up your topics. To help you not get bored, you should change up the topics that you are studying. It is unlikely that you only have one subject to study for at a time so mix up what you study every half an hour to an hour or so. For example, study history for 45 minutes, English for 45 minutes, and math for 45 minutes. 2
Take notes as you go. While you are reading a chapter in a textbook, have a notebook out and take down important notes about what you are reading. Not only will it help keep you engaged, you will also be learning more because you process the information as you read it. 3 This will make the task visually appealing to you and help keep you interested in your notes.
Avoid electronics. If you have your cell phone or laptop right with you when you study, you are less likely to pay attention to studying and will become bored more easily. 4 If you really need to have your laptop for study materials, avoid going on social media sites, or playing games.
5 One reason why you get bored may be that you have no clear idea of where your study session is going or what you need to accomplish. Plan ahead and have what you want to do in your mind before you begin to study. Lay out what you know you need to get accomplished and how long you need to take to complete it. A clear objective will help you get rid of boredom.
A．Plan your end goals.
B．Pick colorful highlighters.
C．How to keep boredom away
D．You may be accustomed to electronics.
E．Leave your phone and laptop somewhere out of sight.
F．If you switch it often, you won’t be likely to get bored.
G．Different subjects help you maintain your motivation for learning.
【答案】1．C 2．F 3．B 4．E 5．A
【难度】0.65
【知识点】学习、申请/请求/建议
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些如何学习而不感到无聊的建议。
1．由标题“How to Study Without Getting Bored (如何学习而不感到无聊)”，上文“Even though it is required, everyone has gotten bored at one time or another while studying. (尽管这是必需的，但每个人在学习时都会时不时地感到无聊)”，下文“There are some suggestions you can follow. (您可以遵循一些建议)”和各段首句“Mix up your topics. (把你的科目打乱)”，“Take notes as you go. (边阅读边记笔记)”及“Avoid electronics. (避免电子产品)”可知，本文主讲一些如何学习而不感到无聊的建议，此处应引出整篇的主题是避免学习时感到无聊，C选项“如何避免无聊？”切合语境。故选C项。
2．由上文“It is unlikely that you only have one subject to study for at a time so mix up what you study every half an hour to an hour or so. For example, study history for 45 minutes, English for 45 minutes, and math for 45 minutes. (你不太可能一次只学习一门学科，所以把你每半小时到一个小时左右学习的内容弄混。例如，学习历史45分钟，英语45分钟，数学45分钟)”可知，下文通过举例表明改变学习科目有助于避免无聊，F选项“如果你经常换科目，你就不太可能感到无聊。”切合语境，选项中it指代上文subject。故选F项。
3．由本段首句“Take notes as you go. (边阅读边记笔记)”可知本段中心为避免学习时感到无聊的建议二：边走边记笔记，强调记笔记这个行为，结合下文“This will make the task visually appealing to you and help keep you interested in your notes. (这将使任务在视觉上吸引你，并帮助你对笔记保持兴趣)”讲有东西让记笔记在视觉上有吸引力并让你保持记笔记的兴趣，可得出该空内容与“让笔记更有吸引力”有关，B选项“挑选彩色荧光笔。”切合语境。故选B项。
4．由标题“Avoid electronics. (避免电子产品)”可知本段中心为避免学习时感到无聊的建议三：避免电子产品，结合上文“If you have your cell phone or laptop right with you when you study, you are less likely to pay attention to studying and will become bored more easily. (如果你在学习时随身携带手机或笔记本电脑，你就不太可能专心学习，也更容易感到无聊)”指出不避免电子设备干扰的后果，可得出该空内容与远离电子设备相关，E选项“把你的手机和笔记本电脑放在看不见的地方。”切合语境。故选E项。
5．该空选取主题句，需总结下文。由下文“One reason why you get bored may be that you have no clear idea of where your study session is going or what you need to accomplish. Plan ahead and have what you want to do in your mind before you begin to study. Lay out what you know you need to get accomplished and how long you need to take to complete it. A clear objective will help you get rid of boredom. (你感到无聊的一个原因可能是你不清楚你的学习课程的目标，或者你需要完成什么。在开始学习之前，提前计划好你想做什么。列出你知道你需要完成的事情以及完成它需要多长时间。一个明确的目标将帮助你摆脱无聊)”可知，下文建议计划好学习目标，有助于消除无聊，A选项“计划好你的最终目标。”切合语境。故选A项。

（2025·云南昆明·一模）Are you looking for a houseplant that serves as a dramatic background while purifying the air Give Majesty Palm a try. Here are some tips to help you plant and take care of it.
Guarantee proper light. Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light. 6 . Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.
Keep the soil wet. Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended. However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water. 7 .
Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air. 8 . If you happen to live in a home with cold, dry air, you can still grow it by keeping a humidifier in that room.
9 . Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.
Repot when necessary. Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won’t be able to hold it. 10 . You just need to increase the pot size by 2 inches and water it two days before repotting so that the soil becomes loose and it’s ready for the process.
A．Feed it appropriately
B．Select fertilizers carefully
C．Then, it is time to change the container
D．It has to learn how to survive in such areas
E．In short, extra water must be able to escape
F．That is to say, it is not a drought-tolerant plant
G．It doesn’t mean it loves to live in a dark area, though
【答案】6．G 7．E 8．F 9．A 10．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】方法/策略、植物
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何种植室内植物“陛下棕榈”。
6．根据上文“Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light.(在马达加斯加的自然栖息地，陛下棕榈习惯生活在较大的树下，这使它能够忍受间接的光线)”以及后文“Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.(因此，把它放在阳光充足的窗户附近，以获得足够的间接光线将是你最好的选择)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出陛下棕榈并不喜欢黑暗，要放在阳光充足的地方。故G选项“但这并不意味着它喜欢生活在黑暗的地方”符合语境，故选G。
7．根据上文“Keep the soil wet. Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended. However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water.(保持土壤湿润。强烈建议在排水不充分的土壤中种植，土壤中有大量的粘土。然而，尽管它喜欢潮湿的环境，但如果根部一直停留在水面以下，它最终会腐烂)”可知，上文提到根部一直停留在水面以下，它最终会腐烂，但是喜欢潮湿，本句为本段最后一句，故总结其如何浇水的问题。故E选项“简而言之，多余的水必须能够逸出”符合语境，故选E。
8．根据上文“Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air.(保持空气湿润。陛下棕榈属于热带植物，需要潮湿的空气)”可知，前后文提到需要潮湿的空气。由此可知，它不耐旱。故F选项“也就是说，它不是一种耐旱植物”符合语境，故选F。
9．根据后文“Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.(就像许多其他植物一样，如果你给它适当的施肥，它也能长得更好。只需在春季和夏季施肥即可。一旦冬天来了，天气又冷又暗，你就根本不需要施肥了)”可知，本段主要说明了如何施肥的问题——需要适当施肥，A选项Feed it appropriately对应后文fertilize it properly。故A选项“适当喂养”符合语境，故选A。
10．根据上文“Repot when necessary. Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won’t be able to hold it.(必要时换盆。虽然一直呆在客厅里，但陛下棕榈会长得很大，花盆也装不下了)”可知，上文提到花盆装不下，结合“必要时换盆”可知需要换容器了，故C选项“然后，是时候换容器了”符合语境，故选C。

（24-25高三上·河南信阳·一模）Chicken Soup: A Time-Honored Remedy
Chicken soup has been a traditional remedy for centuries, with roots in ancient China and a mention byPedanius Dioscorides in 60 A．D．This dish is prepared differently across cultures but is universally believed to offer comfort and aid in recovery.
11
Why is Chicken Soup more than comfortable The rich flavor and taste in chicken soup, shared by foods like cheese and mushrooms, is linked to an increased appetite and improved digestion. 12 . The rich flavor may also enable the body to absorb protein more efficiently, reducing digestive symptoms often associated with lung illnesses.
Homemade noodles with chicken soup not only contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and a wealth of nutrients, but also have elements that can relieve symptoms like a stuffy nose and coughing. Chicken provides protein to support the immune system, vegetables offer essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health, and noodles supply carbohydrates for energy. 13 .
Anti-Inflammatory and Clearing Effects
Inflammation (炎症) is a natural response to illness, leading to cold and flu symptoms like phlegm (痰液) production, sore throat, and blockage. Chicken soup has been shown to reduce inflammation by preventing white blood cells from reaching inflamed tissues. 14 .
Maximizing Health Benefits
Although there is also canned soup, homemade chicken soup is a nutritional powerhouse. For ideal benefits, choose homemade chicken soup with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices. 15 . The homemade chicken soup aids in rehydration (补水), and the overall composition of chicken soup supports the body’s healing process.
While chicken soup is not a miracle cure for all illnesses, scientific evidence supports its role in aiding recovery and providing comfort during illness. This age-old remedy, often prepared with love, continues to be a symbol of care and a practical aid in the face of sickness.
A．Regular Consumption for Best Benefits
B．The Scientific Theories Behind Chicken Soup
C．In contrast, canned soups lack these nutrients
D．Besides, the steam from the soup can help clear phlegm from the airways
E．These combined elements make chicken soup a symptom-relieving remedy
F．This is crucial when illnesses reduce one’s appetite and necessary nutrients taking
G．Chicken soup isn’t a cure-all and has its limits in effectively treating various illnesses
【答案】11．B 12．F 13．E 14．D 15．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】食物与饮料
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了鸡汤作为一种传统的治疗方法已经有几个世纪的历史了，解释了其治疗作用背后的原理。
11．根据本段内容“Why is Chicken Soup more than comfortable The rich flavor and taste in chicken soup, shared by foods like cheese and mushrooms, is linked to an increased appetite and improved digestion. (为什么鸡汤不仅仅是舒服？鸡汤的浓郁风味和口感与奶酪和蘑菇等食物一样，有助于增加食欲和改善消化。)”可知，本段主要分析了鸡汤让人感觉舒服的科学解释，故B选项“鸡汤背后的科学理论”符合语境，故选B。
12．根据上文“Why is Chicken Soup more than comfortable The rich flavor and taste in chicken soup, shared by foods like cheese and mushrooms, is linked to an increased appetite and improved digestion. (为什么鸡汤不仅仅是舒服？鸡汤的浓郁风味和口感与奶酪和蘑菇等食物一样，有助于增加食欲和改善消化。)”可知，上文提到鸡汤具有有助于增加食欲和改善消化的功能，本句承接上文，说明这一特点的作用。故F选项“当疾病减少食欲和必要的营养摄入时，这是至关重要的”符合语境，故选F。
13．根据上文“Homemade noodles with chicken soup not only contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and a wealth of nutrients, but also have elements that can relieve symptoms like a stuffy nose and coughing. Chicken provides protein to support the immune system, vegetables offer essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health, and noodles supply carbohydrates for energy.

14．根据上文“Inflammation (炎症) is a natural response to illness, leading to cold and flu symptoms like phlegm (痰液) production, sore throat, and blockage. Chicken soup has been shown to reduce inflammation by preventing white blood cells from reaching inflamed tissues. (炎症是对疾病的自然反应，会导致感冒和流感症状，如痰多、喉咙痛和堵塞。鸡汤已被证明可以通过阻止白细胞到达发炎组织来减少炎症。)”可知，上文提到鸡汤可以减少炎症，本句是对上文的补充说明，D选项中phlegm对应上文phlegm。故D选项“此外，汤的蒸汽可以帮助清除气道中的痰”符合语境，故选D。
15．根据上文“Although there is also canned soup, homemade chicken soup is a nutritional powerhouse. For ideal benefits, choose homemade chicken soup with a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices. (虽然也有罐头汤，但自制鸡汤是营养的源泉。为了达到理想的效果，选择用各种蔬菜、草药和香料自制的鸡汤。)”以及后文“The homemade chicken soup aids in rehydration (补水), and the overall composition of chicken soup supports the body’s healing process. (自制鸡汤有助于补水，鸡汤的整体成分支持身体的愈合过程。)”可知，上文提到了罐头汤，后文提到了自制鸡汤的好处，推测本句是在说明罐头汤的缺点，故C选项“相比之下，罐装汤缺乏这些营养素”符合语境，故选C。

（24-25高三上·湖南长沙·一模）Why is it that when you have the most to do you feel the least able to act This sense of helplessness — also called “overwhelm freeze” — always seems to set in when you have a dozen things on your list, all equally pressing. Or it shows up when you have one huge thing to accomplish that really matters. 16 . These expert tips can help you snap out of your frozen state and put you back in control of all things.
Minimize the elephant task
First, you need to turn down your stress levels. Try taking a few deep breaths. If it’s a dispiriting task that’s causing you to feel overwhelmed, the advice is to break it into tiny steps. It’s like that old saying: 17 One bite at a time. These steps should be ridiculously small. The measuring stick is that your task should be so small that you feel no resistance. The steps also need to be concrete, restricting you to a time, location and duration when you’ll get a certain thing done. Take some of the pressure off, too, by telling yourself it’s OK if you do a bad job. 18
Encourage yourself
For an overwhelming list of lots of little to-dos, the key is to start strategically. 19 However, another option is to begin with the most enjoyable task. “We’re so focused on what should to do that we forget that sometimes there are some wants in our heart, and following that can be very refreshing,” Dr Hendriksen said. “If all this has to get done, then I might as well approach the one where I feel the least resistance.”
Encouraging yourself can also help break the ice with a long list or that one task you really don’t want to do. If there’s an email you need to send that you keep putting off, promise yourself ten guilt-free minutes of Internet celebrity gossip afterward. 20 “You use something you like to do to reward something you don’t like to do,” Dr Hendriksen said. “That has been around for 50 years and it’s a very successful technique.”
A．How do you eat an elephant
