If you're inside a building，stay there!One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building.（1）　 　 Drop to the ground.Get under an object（物体）that is not easily damaged.Hold on to it until the shaking stops.You can also get to a comer formed by two walls with your arms over your hand.If you're in bed when the quake hits，stay there and protect your head with a pillow.

Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art.But what motivates these collectors？
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain.Some resell works，earning enormous profit. （1）　 　 Immorally，some "collectors" buy art as a form of money laundering（洗钱），since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
（2）　 　 For them，art is important for other reasons.The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds，and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links；they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created.We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. （3）　 　 Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is﹣at least who she sees herself as.
（4）　 　Through the collections，collectors convey messages not just about themselves，but about the world as a whole.For example，the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends，but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. （5）　 　.
A.Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B.But most collectors think little of profit.
C.Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D.No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E.Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F.It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G.Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.
5．（2022 青秀区校级开学）Nowadays along with the booming of computer science，computers are widely used here and there.People even can find computers in most classrooms.While teachers remain more or less the same，computers are doubling in speed and capability every four years. （1）　 　As far as I am concerned，teachers still play a major role and are still of great importance.
（2）　 　However advanced they may be，computers are nothing more than human inventions programmed to perform certain tasks.
They are unable to deal with students with different background.Needless to say，a classroom is a place where individual attention and creativity matter most.Therefore，computers are no better than other tools used by teachers and couldn't possibly make the roles played by them weaker.
In terms of accuracy and the amount of information，computers outshine humans.（3）　 　 Indeed，a good teacher organizes and inspires the students.
Besides，the interaction between students and teachers is vital for the learning.According to most education authorities，real learning occurs during the discussion and sharing of ideas with one's teacher and classmates.Moreover，a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students' attitude，to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of frustration and impatience.（4）　 　
Despite the increasing presence of computers inside classrooms，teachers are just as essential，if not more so，as instructors were in the past. （5）　 　
A.It's time that teachers should develop themselves.
B.Without this kind of interaction，education is unimaginable.
C.Advanced as computers may be，some teachers are less impatient.
D.But to make a good teacher means far more than being an encyclopedia （百科全书）.
E.People can't help wondering whether teachers are as important as they once were.
F.Some drawbacks make it impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms.
G.It is well known that computers are better at repetitive work but incapable of creative thinking.
6．
Economy rebounding after drop
China's economy experienced a deep reduction in the first quarter due to the COVID﹣19 outbreak. （1）　 　This indicates that the country's recovery has gained a firmer footing，officials and economists said on Friday.
（2）　 　However，it remains unclear whether the government will still set a GDP growth target for the year.Economists said China's policy for the next step needs to focus on stimulating（刺激） demand and stabilizing（稳定）employment to promote economic recovery.
Mao Shengyong，NBS spokesman，said the outbreak created a serious blow to the country's economy in the first quarter，but major economic indicators（指标） rebounded in March. （3）　 　
Lian Ping，chief economist at Zhixin Investment，said the government needs to strengthen policy support to prevent the economy from suffering a second wave of blows from the global economic downturn.（4）　 　While most large companies have resumed production，according to NBS calculations，many smaller companies are still struggling to resume work under rising financial difficulties and labor shortages.
Retail sales dropped by 19 percent year﹣on﹣year in the first quarter，which indicated that domestic demand remains relatively weak and there is still room for policies to effectively boost households' consumption（消费），economists said. （5）　 　The urban unemployment rate was 5.9 percent in March，down by 0.3 percentage point from February，according to the NBS.
A.Urban household income declined by 3.9 percent year﹣on﹣year in the first quarter.
B.But major economic indicators improved mostly in March.
C.China's GDP in the first quarter contracted by 6.8 percent from a year earlier according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
D.Chinese economy is recovering as more companies are borrowing to promote their production recovery.
E.And the country's economic performance will improve further in the second quarter.

7．（2022秋 沙坪坝区校级月考）While you are traveling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill﹣feeling between individuals. （1）　 　
●Touching Someone
（2）　 　 In Mediterranean countries，if you don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug，you'll be considered cold.But backslap（拍背）someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea，and you'll make him uncomfortable.In Thailand，the head is considered sacred ﹣ never even pat a child on the head.
●Talking Over Dinner
In some countries，like China，Japan and some African nations，the food is the thing，so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.（3）　 　 It's not because your group is unfriendly，but because meal times are for eating，not talking.
● Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized，but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia，Hawaii，or the Pacific Islands and you'll be considered disrespectful.So，if you see a row of shoes at the door，start undoing your laces.（4）　 　
Once you are on the ground of a different country，remain highly sensitive to native behavior. （5）　 　And don't feel offended if something seems offensive ﹣ like queue jumping.After all，this is a global village，and we are all very different.
A.If not，keep the shoes on.
B.You'll be likely to meet with silence.
C.Never be completely surprised by anything.
D.Personal space varies as you travel the globe.

8．When things go wrong，many people turn to their friends for comfort and support.Are you the kind of person your friends trust to be there for them when they're feeling down？（1）　 　.You might feel awkward or nervous about comforting a sad friend at first，but with a little practice，you won't have to worry about saying the wrong thing or making the situation worse.When one of your friends is upset，help him/her by being there for him/her，finding the right things to say，and avoiding common mistakes.
（2）　 　.Comfort your friend according to how upset he/she seems to be.If he/she seems to be very troubled，it may take more effort on your part to help him/her.If something is bothering him/her，but he/she isn't too upset，be there for him/her without overreacting.
Find out what's wrong.Before you say anything，try to figure out what the problem is.（3）　 　.If you try to talk to your friend without knowing the situation first，you could end up with putting your foot in your mouth.
Give your friend a hug.A kind touch will do wonders for your friend，even if you don't know what he/she is upset about.（4）　 　.You can also pat him/her gently on the shoulder.
Let your friend vent（发泄）.If your friend needs to get his/her sadness or anger out，let him/her do.Pay attention and don't interrupt.Encourage him/her to express himself/herself fully.

9．Although problems are a part of our lives，it certainly doesn't mean that we let them rule our lives forever.One day or the other，you'll have to stand up and say﹣problem，I don't want you in my life.
（1）　 　Problems with friends，parents，girlfriends，husbands，and children﹣the list goes on.Apart from these，the inner conflicts within ourselves work，too.These keep adding to our problems.Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk，it really helps.What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.（2）　 　Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. （3）　 　When you write down your problems，you are setting free all the tension from your system.You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.By doing this，imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don't lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life，don't lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money，family...you should still have faith.（4）　 　
Your problems aren't the worst.No matter what problem you get in life，there are another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.（5）　 　Your problems might just seem big and worse，but in reality they can be removed.

（2）　 　This can involve cooking the Thanksgiving turkey or preparing some simple side dishes.Even if you aren't very handy in the kitchen，you can still help make some food donations outside.
Individuals who both wish to spend Thanksgiving with family and to actively participate in Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities can adopt an individual or a family for the holiday.This is a great idea for people who make a large Thanksgiving meal.When adopting a family for Thanksgiving，you would make a large meal，as usual.（3）　 　
Many times，just seeing a cheerful face on Thanksgiving is enough to brighten any person's day.If you love interacting with and talking to people，these types of Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities may be for you.（4）　 　By calling these places，you will often be able to find out if they have any Thanksgiving volunteer programs.

11．
The Science of Earthquakes
（1）　 　
The surface of the earth is divided into different pieces.These are called tectonic plates （构造板块）.When two plates suddenly slip past one another，an earthquake happens.This shakes the ground and everything on it.
What causes earthquakes and where do they happen？
（2）　 　They are inner core，outer core，mantle（地幔）and the earth's crust （地壳）.The crust and the top of the mantle make up a thick skin on the surface of the planet.But this skin is not all in one piece.It is actually made up of many tectonic plates.They are like puzzle pieces.These pieces are always sliding around and bumping into each other.Sometimes their edges get stuck together.When this happens，the rest of the plate keeps moving.Eventually the edges come unstuck.（3）　 　.
Why does the earth shake when there is an earthquake？
Earthquakes send out waves in all directions.When they reach the earth's surface，they shake the ground.（4）　 　The P wave squeezes and stretches the earth.The S wave shakes it up and down.
（5）　 　
Scientists use special tools to record and measure earthquakes.These tools are called seismographs.Recordings from seismographs tell scientists when and where an earthquake took place.They can also tell scientists the size of an earthquake.
A.How are earthquakes recorded？
B.That is when an earthquake happens.
C.There are different types of earthquake waves.
D.What is an earthquake？
E.The earth has four main layers （层）.
F.Can scientists predict earthquakes？
G.Scientists can tell where an earthquake took place by studying the P and S waves.
12．Ambition （志向，抱负） is a necessary quality in life.It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got.（1）　 　，these talents will not be used for our own and others' benefit.Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop though life.We only react to events：we don't try to control them.
（2）　 　.First of all，it can be unrealistic.We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities，so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us.Some people can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively.They may tell us that we haven't the ability.We refuse to take their evaluation.We keep on trying.Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgment.But what a waste of time our ill﹣founded ambition has caused us!
Besides，our ambition can be too concentrated.We devote our attention to one narrow aim，such as getting distinctions in our science subjects.Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives.In the end we get our distinctions.But we are isolated beings who only care about particular examinations.And we probably won't make good scientists.（3）　 　.
And our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. （4）　 　.Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through owning these artificial signs of worth.
（5）　 　.But，like all blind forces，it must be directed if not to cause disaster.
A.Still，ambition can have several disadvantages
B.Because our ambition may make us among selfish people
C.Unless we have got some degree of ambition
D.Since we don't have the breadth of view necessary for greater success
E.Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals
F.As long as tightly controlled by the head and the heart
G.We want to gain money，or power，or membership of some circles
13．Have you ever noticed how plants can teach us all about the intricacies of life，if only we take the time to observe and listen？Look at how each plant plays a part in the loving whole. （1）　 　
Put down roots
It can be long term or short term，but putting down roots and grounding yourself is important for your growth.When you're stuck，it gives you a certain sense of freedom to grow in a way that's most beneficial to you in that particular space while sharing your love.
Be flexible
You read about putting down roots.But a huge part of nature is learning how to be uprooted and blossom wherever you are. （2）　 　Do you notice how plants just keep on changing with the seasons and the times？They are unbelievable!
Get lots of sunshine
（3）　 　Even when it's muted through the clouds，smog or fog.Not only is sunshine lifting and inspiring for your soul but for your body，too.Get outside and experience all the joys of beautiful sunshine.
Keep growing
（4）　 　 Sometimes they may not grow so fast due to lack of nourishment in some form，but they keep on growing.They obey their time and keep doing everything they can until the time when the food fills them up to fully flourish into their best plant selves.Just like humans.
Be attractive as you
You know all those different plants out there？You know —the ones that are regarded as weeds in some areas and as attractiveness in other areas？（5）　 　 Every plant serves a purpose just as it is.You are beautiful just by being you，too!
What are you waiting for？Get out there and Be like plants!
A.It's like each of us.
B.Everything in nature is beautiful.
C.Every day the plants get sunshine.
D.Plants can recover from natural disasters.
E.Plants continue growing whatever happens.
F.Every plant is as beautiful as human beings.
G.You can put down roots once or many times.
14．Americans spend a lot of money in their daily lives.Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on various expenses throughout the day.Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. （1）　 　They buy sports equipment，go to the movies and do many things that cost money.
However，many Americans don't pay cash or write checks for these things. （2）　 　 Credit cards are small，rectangular plastic cards.It is very convenient to carry them about.
（3）　 　When the customer buys something at a store，he shows his card at the store.This permits the store to charge the bank for the customer's purchase.The bank collects all the charges for each customer.Then once a month the bank requires the customer to pay the charges for that month. （4）　 　 It allows the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time.
However，the bank requires the customer to pay interest（利息）on the unpaid part of the charges.In this way the bank allows customers to buy things they cannot afford at one time.People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. （5）　 　
A.It brings great benefits to the rich.
B.Banks give these cards to their customers.
C.They spend a lot of money on entertainment.
D.They also do not need to carry a lot of money.
E.People may spend less money in this way.
F.More and more Americans pay for things with credit cards.
G.The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount.
15．
Teach Children the Value of Money
As we're moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular，children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out﹣of﹣use.Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.
（1）　 　.Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget.Then，research what things you will buy，work out which items may be better to buy.As you carry out each part of the activity，make sure to save all the receipts，and then evaluate if you managed to stay within，or broke your budget.（2）　 　.
Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money.（3）　 　.For example，14﹣year﹣olds are often making their own beds，so introducing a reward for such a "chore" is not a good idea.However，emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine﹣year﹣old.These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time，effort and money.Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest. （4）　 　.
Coming up with and doing activities or day to day tasks together with your children，is not only much more enjoyable for your children，but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings，interest rates，or allowances. （5）　 　.That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy.
A.That is one of the most important factors for learning.
B.Involve them in everyday money management activities.
C.This can be done with real﹣money or a digital piggy bank.
D.Giving your child regular pocket money，big enough to cover basic wants.
E.They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.
F.Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.
G.This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.

Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art.But what motivates these collectors？
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain.Some resell works，earning enormous profit. （1）　E　 Immorally，some "collectors" buy art as a form of money laundering（洗钱），since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
（2）　B　 For them，art is important for other reasons.The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds，and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links；they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created.We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. （3）　F　 Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is﹣at least who she sees herself as.
（4）　G　Through the collections，collectors convey messages not just about themselves，but about the world as a whole.For example，the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends，but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. （5）　D　.
A.Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B.But most collectors think little of profit.
C.Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D.No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E.Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F.It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G.Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.
【答案】EBFGD
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。历史上许多人都不遗余力地收藏艺术品，本文以此展开主要讲述了这些收藏家的动机是什么。
【解答】（1）E.推理判断题。根据上文 One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain.Some resell works，earning enormous profit.一个普遍的解释是他们可以获得经济利益。一些人转售收藏品以赚取巨额利润。以及下文Immorally，some collectors buy art as a form of money laundering（洗钱），since it is far easier to move art than cash between counties without examination.游戏收藏者购买艺术品进行洗钱，因为在县与县之间转移艺术品要比转移现金容易得多，无需审查。此处说的还是利用艺术品获得经济利益的做法。故E项（Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums）有些人因为向博物馆捐赠艺术品而获得了大幅减税。承上启下，符合语境。故选E。
（2）B.推理判断题。根据下文For them，art is important for other reasons.对他们来说，艺术之所以重要还有其他原因。此处说的是一些人收藏艺术品不是看重经济利益。故B项（But most collectors think little of profit）但是，大多数收藏者很少考虑利润。承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
（3）F.推理判断题。根据上文We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings.我们都知道艺术是艺术家表达想法和情感的有力方式。故F项（It also serves as an effective way to express collectors）它也是表达收藏者的一种有效方式。承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
（4）G.推理判断题。根据下文Through the collections，collectors convey messages not just about themselves，but about the world as a whole.一般来说，通过收藏品，收藏者不仅传递关于他们自己的信息，还传递关于世界的信息。此处是说收藏者认为自己的收藏品有重要意义故G项（Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power）其他艺术收藏者认为自己的收藏品有更广泛的影响力。承上启下，符合语境。故选G。
（5）D.推理判断题。根据上文People collect art for various reasons.人们收藏艺术品有各种各样的原因。故D项（No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome）毫无疑问，艺术收藏是很难戒掉的瘾。承上启下，符合语境。故选D。
【点评】七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。

（2）　G　However advanced they may be，computers are nothing more than human inventions programmed to perform certain tasks.
They are unable to deal with students with different background.Needless to say，a classroom is a place where individual attention and creativity matter most.Therefore，computers are no better than other tools used by teachers and couldn't possibly make the roles played by them weaker.
In terms of accuracy and the amount of information，computers outshine humans.（3）　D　 Indeed，a good teacher organizes and inspires the students.

（2）G．逻辑关系题。根据本段中What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.大多数人都会认为，自己的问题只有自己能够解决，说出来也没有用。而G项：But the truth is that when you talk about it，you're setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.（但事实是，当你谈论它的时候，你正在释放你内心聚集的消极能量。）是强调把问题说出来能够释放内心积压的消极情绪，表示一种转折，故选G。
（3）E．细节理解题。根据前文Write your problems写下你的问题和后文When you write down your problems，you are setting free all the tension from your system.当你写下你的问题时，你释放了你系统中的所有紧张。可知，本段的建议是人们可以通过写日记来排解内心的紧张，而E选项Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don't want a real person to talk with.（如果你不想和真人交谈，写个人日记也会有很大帮助。）符合语境，而且diary是信息词，故选E。
（4）B．逻辑关系题。根据前文Don't lose faith and hope…you should still have faith.要失去信心和希望……你仍然应该有信心。可知，本段强调的是无论何时都不要失去信念和希望，而B选项With faith and hope，you can rebuild everything that you lose（有了信念和希望，你可以重建你失去的一切。）也是告诫人们只要有信念和希望，就能重建生活，内容可以承接上文，故选B。
（5）A．细节理解题。根据前文No matter what problem you get in life，there're another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.不管你在生活中遇到什么问题，还有一百万人的问题比你的更严重。可知本段讲的是自己遇到的问题不会比他人的严重．而A项：Tell yourself：when they can deal with them，why can't I？（告诉自己：他们都能把问题解决掉，自己为什么不能？）符合语境，故选A。
