4.Solutions to Climate Change
There are personal lifestyle changes that you can make and that,to some extent,can help reduce your carbon impact.Not all are right for everybody.But applying just a few of them could make a difference.
Move closer to work.
Transportation is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions. (1) One way to dramatically cut transportation fuel needs is to move closer to work,use mass transportation,or switch to walking,cycling or some other modes of transport that does not require anything other than human energy.
Consume less.
(2) Whether by quitting an automobile or employing a reusable grocery sack,cutting back on consumption results in fewer fossil fuels being burned to extract,produce and ship products around the globe.
(3)
A potentially simpler and even bigger effect can be produced by doing more with less.Citizens of many developed countries are energy﹣wasters,whether by speeding in a gas﹣wasting vehicle or leaving the lights on when not in a room.Similarly,employing more efficient refrigerators,air conditioners and other appliances can cut electricity bills. (4) You can turn the lights or your computers off when you leave the office.
Stop cutting down trees.
When purchasing wood products,such as furniture or flooring,buy used goods or,failing that,wood proved officially to have been sustainably harvested.The Amazon rainforest and other forests are more than the lung of the earth. (5)
A.Be energy efficient.
B.Use few electrical appliances.
C.But it doesn't have to be that way.
D.Such efforts can also be usefully employed at work.
E.They may also be humans' short﹣term hope for limiting climate change.
F.The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff.
G.Citizens spend more money on electricity to power devices when they're off than when they're on.
5.Language learning is a long﹣term process﹣it takes commitment and enthusiasm.And just like any long﹣term goal,we all need encouragement from time to time to keep us going (1) .
Remember why you started
When you first started your language journey,it was for a reason.Perhaps you wanted to get more out of your travels or make yourself more competitive in the marketplace.When your brain is focused on learning,it makes sense that these concrete goals may slip out of your mind. (2) .
Reflect on what you've learned so far
Learning a new language is undoubtedly a huge undertaking and you'll feel overwhelmed.But before you look ahead,take some time to reflect on how far you've come. (3) Being able to hold something that's a direct result of your effort will help you stay on track.
Identify distractions
When our energy dips,it's the best way to identify the choices that are distracting us from our goals.Maybe it's our environment to staying up﹣to﹣date with television shows,or that extra hour of Facebooking before we go to bed. (4) .We have a limited amount time and energy and every decision we make has trade﹣offs.Find a balance so that we have enough time to achieve the things that are really important to us.
(5) .
To stay on track,divide up your main goal of learning a new language into smaller goals,and then reward yourself after you reach each one.Perhaps that means after you master all the vocabulary in the food and drink category you'll finally throw that fancy dinner party you've been dreaming about.A big reward at the end,such as an international trip,can certainly be motivating,but don't forget to also celebrate your small triumphs along the way.
A.Reward Yourself.
B.Build confidence through practice.
C.The most important thing is to do something every day.
D.With that in mind,here are our top tips for staying motivated to keep learning.
E.For example,you can try writing a short story or poem in the new language you're learning.

G.But research shows that returning to these images and visualizing your goals can help you succeed.
6.It can be really frustrating when you want to stand up for yourself but always feel the tears coming﹣especially when you know that what you have to say is valid and important. (1) ,or that you're stuck in the same situation every time.We hope that with the help of these strategies,you'll be able to stand up for yourself,and gain the respect that you deserve.
Taking deep breaths activates a natural relaxation response.If you feel like you're about to cry,you're likely feeling stressed and overwhelmed.By taking deep breaths,you're sending a message to your brain to calm down—your heart rate,blood pressure,and breathing will all decrease.(2) .
Another way to prevent yourself from crying is to deliberately pause a little.Rather than going on and on,say what you want to and then stop and wait for the other person to respond.(3) .
But if you let yourself get caught up in your frustration and sadness all at once,you may be more likely to begin crying.
(4) .You may find yourself crying because you lack confidence in yourself,but research has found that your body posture can actually make you think more positive about yourself Try to stand straight,plant your feet wide,and keep your head up﹣you may feel better about your worth and what you have to say.
It's okay if you aren't successful on your first couple of tries.It's important to recognize that not only is crying a common and understandable reaction to emotional distress,but that you can still make a stand and get your point across even if you are crying.(5) ,so be easy on yourself during the journey!
A.You'll get better with time and practice
B.Crying is usually regarded as a sign of weakness
C.This may help you feel more relaxed and grounded
D.Having better body posture can boost your confidence
E.Yet you shouldn't feel like there's no way to deal with it
F.You'll meet different difficulties and challenges in the process
G.Even if you have a lot to say,you'll be able to get to it in time
7.Nature soothes(抚慰)our stressed﹣out souls.We know that nature is the best prescription,and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks.
(1) The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier,regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.
"In general,we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well﹣being(幸福感)after the park visit." the study's lead author and University of Alabama at Birmingham professor Hon K.Yuen said in a statement."(2) "Instead,we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well﹣being."
For the study,94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook,Alabama,completing a questionnaire about their subjective well﹣being before and after their visit. (3) A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results,with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self﹣reported well﹣being,even if they didn't move a great deal in the park(4)
The study group was truly small,as the study's co﹣author and another UAB professor,Gavin Jenkins,acknowledges.(5) The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.
A.Something was used to track their physical activity.
B.You usually visit a small green space in your neighborhood.
C.However,its findings pointed out the importance of city parks.
D.If you want to feel happier,you just need to exercise for 20 minutes in a park.
E.The best part is that you needn't visit a national park or go far out of your way.
F.This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park,regardless of physical ability.
G.But we didn't find levels of physical activity are linked to improved emotional well﹣being.
8. Maybe this is your first travel.Having the know﹣how to best manage your trip will help you to really enjoy the experiences you encounter along the way.(1)
Be a sun riser
(2) Having the best sights and locations all to yourself is special.If you are into your photography,getting some photos at sunrise will be great due to the sun's light at this hour.
Cash stash
Cash is the king.For an emergency,having some extra cash stashed away in a few places is a good way to cover yourself.
A couple hundred pounds or dollars or whatever is worth having stashed.This way if you ever lose your purse or if your credit cards cease to function,you will be covered with your stash!ATMs run out of cash occasionally too.(3) You can keep it in your shoes,in a rolled up sock,in your toiletry bag(盟洗用品袋),or maybe in a small hidden compartment of your main luggage bag.
Meet the locals
You should try to make an effort to avoid other travelers for long periods of time.(4) Basic English is spoken in a lot of countries or you could even learn some basic sentences in their language.So don't panic.It's much easier to communicate with others than you might have imagined,with your body language and gestures.
Have patience
If you are one to worry about every little thing,then don't!Whatever life throws at you,it's a waste of energy to be annoyed and angered at most things for any longer than a few seconds.What if you miss your flight?(5)
A.Start conversations with local people instead.
B.Below are some tips which can help get you started.
C.Your extra cash can be stored away in secret.
D.Your journey might prove to be a different route but that's life.
E.There's nothing more beautiful to watch than the sunrise in the early morning.
F.Don't worry,stay a little longer,maybe you can rebook for free or at little cost.
G.Don't be too embarrassed,just have some humility,laughing at yourself and smile.
9.You should always seek professional medical help as soon as you are able to,but following correct first﹣aid steps can be the difference between life and death.Here are some suggestions about how to care for an unconscious(不省人事的) person.
Determine responsiveness.If a person is unconscious,try to awake him by gently touching his hands and feet or by speaking to him.(1)
Check for breathing and a pulse.If the person is unconscious and unable to be awoken;look for a rise in the chest area. (2) Feel for air using the side of your face.If no signs of breathing are clear,check for a pulse.
If the person remains unresponsive,prepare for CPR.Unless you suspect a spinal(脊柱的) injury,carefully roll him onto his back and open his airway.(3) If the person begins to vomit,move him over to his side to help prevent choking.
(4) Check these three things frequently as you give the person first﹣aid CPR.
Airway.Does the person have a clear airway?
Breathing.Is the person breathing?
Circulation.Does the person show a pulse at major pulse points?
Make sure the person is warm as you wait for medical help.(5) However,if the person has heatstroke,do not cover him or keep him warm.Instead,try to cool him by fanning him and damping him.
A.Remember your ABCs of CPR.
B.Listen for the sound of air coming in and out.
C.Cover a towel or a blanket over the person if you have one.
D.The ABCs of CPR refer to the three critical things you need to look for.

F.If you suspect a spinal injury,leave the person where he is,provided he is breathing.
G.If he does not respond to any activity,sound,or touch,determine whether he is breathing.
10.
This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy. (1) They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(2) Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First,understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(3) And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task﹣preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. "Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. (4)
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(5)
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relatively,Coke or Post﹣it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self﹣control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.
11.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 cafe life.French cafes 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 a 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.

12.I experienced years of loneliness as a child. (1) .His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine.With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood,I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading.My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. (2) .I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books.I quickly graduated from typical children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters.Reading opened new worlds to me. (3) .
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted.I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me.When my mother saw my creations,she told me how creative my designs were. (4) .I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful.It was a trait(特点) others found helpful,and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
(5) .My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside,no matter the weather or season.My brother,of course,raced off to be with his friends,while I had plenty to do myself.There was making leaf houses in autumn,ice skating in winter,and so much more.They're all memories I treasure today.
A.I wasn't alone any longer.
B.I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C.I was invited to play with another kid.
D.I loved the colorful photographs in the books.

13.Most of us are familiar with carrots(胡萝卜). (1) They are a cool﹣season crop that can tolerate low temperatures.
(2) Firstly we should ensure that the soil used for deep﹣rooted types is free of stones.Mix the soil with organic matter,especially during the fall season before sowing.
Then we should choose a variety of carrots after the soil is prepared. (3) The early ones are usually small,slender and are eaten while they are young;the main crop types are larger and are eaten fresh or stored.
Early types should be sown in spring as soon as the soil is workable.They may also be sown under covers,though the covers should be removed after a few weeks. (4) Carrot seeds can be sown about 1/2 inch deep.Early carrots should be thinned to 3 inches apart;main crop carrots should be thinned to 1.5 inches.
Weeds should be removed regularly once the carrots have germinated.Watering is needed every two to three weeks.Watch out for pests and diseases. (5) Protect against carrot rust flies by surrounding the patch of young carrots with a protective barrier 2 to 3 feet high.Use either fine netting or plastic as barriers.
Early carrots can be harvested about seven to nine weeks after sowing and main crop carrots should be harvested after ten to eleven weeks.
A.There are many varieties.
B.They are good to people's health.
C.They are usually orange in colour.
D.After about a week,the seeds come out.

14.If you work hard to have a positive attitude,you might be surprised by how much better you feel about yourself and life in general.(1) The less stress you fell,the better you will feel overall.So if you've been feeling tired,think about the good,put on a happy face and you just might feel better soon.
But how can you have a positive attitude when life is hard?It's more than just turning life's lemons into lemonade.(2) But it's worth it.Here are some ways you can develop and maintain (保持) a positive attitude even in the midst of life's troubles.
(3) It just means being an optimist and looking for the good in things,rather than being a pessimist (悲观者) and focusing on the bad in things.Sometimes your view can make all the difference in the world.
Identify (确认) those areas of your life that might not be going so well.(4) Focus on one area at a time and think of ways you can find the positive in them.
Smile and laugh!Yes,it can be that simple.Learn to love life,no matter what's going on.Smile at others and they will smile back at you.(5) Sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.
Exercise!Get off the couch and get moving.Being active and healthy can give you a completely different outlook on life.
A.Have fun and find the humor in life.
B.You may find it hard to stay positive in your life.
C.Having a positive attitude can take some hard work.

15.If you're a book lover who can't help but get lost in a story,you're probably constantly looking for ways to have your friends and family join in the reading fun! (1)
Know your own reading preferences.Since you are more likely to be persuasive in recommending
something you enjoy,it helps to know your own reading preferences.It's also helpful to write down some book reviews and your feelings about the books you read. (2)
Ask them what they last read. (3) Once you get a sense of the kinds of books they like,you'll be better prepared to make an appropriate(合适的)recommendation.
Encourage them to read a book about their city.If they recently moved to a new city,give them a
book that relates to it.It could be a book about the unique art and architecture of the city. (4) For example,if they just moved to New York City,you could give them the novel Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote.
(5) If they are passionate about their career or have just decided to change careers,they may enjoy a title related to their vocation.Search for a book that relates to their career.Remember:The best recommendations are well tailored(定制的)to them.

【考点】自然生态与环境保护;说明文.
【答案】EAGFD
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三条有助于养成环保的生活方式的建议,包括使用太阳能、改变饮水习惯以及减少交通工具的碳排放量。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据上文Leading a sustainable(不破坏环境的) lifestyle doesn't require you to have to make great changes to your home,and this kind of transformation doesn't have to be an exhausting exercise.(过可持续发展的生活方式不是要求你必须对你的家做出大的改变,并且这种改变不一定是一项使人疲惫的活动。)和下文Here are three of them.(这里是它们中的三个。)可知,空格处需要过渡句,说有很多的方法可以做出改变,E项"有许多简单的事情可以做来达到可持续发展"符合上下文语境。故选E。
(2)段落主题题。根据空后的By using solar energy,you will make your home far more sustainable.(通过使用太阳能,你将会使你的家非常的可持续发展。)可知,该段的建议是"使用太阳能",A项"转到太阳能"符合语境。故选A。
(3)推理判断题。根据本段首句Make changes to your water drinking habits.(改变你的饮水习惯。)可知,本段主要建议读者改变不好的饮水习惯。根据上文Have you ever thought about how many single﹣use plastic bottles you use a year?If you should ever perform such a count,you'd find yourself well into three figures,or maybe even four.(你有没有想过你一年用多少一次性塑料瓶?如果你数过数量,你会发现你一年中因饮水而用的一次性塑料瓶的数量能达到三位数,或者甚至可能是四位数。)可知,空格处应是对饮用塑料瓶装水的评价。G项"像这样喝水可能快速,简单,方便,但是它不是可持续发展的"符合上下文语境。故选G。
(4)联系下文题。根据空后一句中的these types of straws(这种类型的吸管)可知,这一段要讨论吸管的问题。F项"就这个情况而言,你可以做出的另一个改变是停止使用塑料吸管"符合题意,straw是关键词。故选F。
(5)推理判断题。根据段首句Reduce your transport emission.(减少你的交通排放。)可知,本段谈论的是在交通工具的碳排放量方面如何培养环保的生活方式。空前一句There're,however,still things you can do to be more sustainable.(然而,仍然有一些你能做的事情来使你的生活方式更加环保。)可知,接下来要讲述可以做的方式。D项"你有2个选择,共享汽车和乘坐公共交通工具"与此处呼应。故选D。

【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几个可以减少碳足迹的日常生活方式。
【解答】(1)C.推理判断题。根据上文"Transportation is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions. (交通是温室气体排放的主要来源之一)"及下文"One way to dramatically cut transportation fuel needs is to move closer to work,use mass transportation,or switch to walking,cycling or some other modes of transport that does not require anything other than human energy. (大幅减少运输燃料需求的一种方法是靠近工作地点,使用大众运输,或改用步行,骑自行车或其他一些不需要人类能源以外的任何东西的运输方式)"可知,有很多方法可以减少运输,运输造成温室气体排放的问题是可以控制的。C项"But it doesn't have to be that way. (但不一定要这样)"承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
(2)F.推理判断题。根据本段标题"Consume less. (少买)"可知,本段介绍第二个解决气候变化的方法:减少购买。F项"The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff. (减少温室气体排放的最简单方法是少买东西)"与标题及本段内容一致,故选F。

5.Language learning is a long﹣term process﹣it takes commitment and enthusiasm.And just like any long﹣term goal,we all need encouragement from time to time to keep us going (1) D .
Remember why you started
When you first started your language journey,it was for a reason.Perhaps you wanted to get more out of your travels or make yourself more competitive in the marketplace.When your brain is focused on learning,it makes sense that these concrete goals may slip out of your mind. (2) G .
Reflect on what you've learned so far
Learning a new language is undoubtedly a huge undertaking and you'll feel overwhelmed.But before you look ahead,take some time to reflect on how far you've come. (3) E Being able to hold something that's a direct result of your effort will help you stay on track.
Identify distractions
When our energy dips,it's the best way to identify the choices that are distracting us from our goals.Maybe it's our environment to staying up﹣to﹣date with television shows,or that extra hour of Facebooking before we go to bed. (4) F .We have a limited amount time and energy and every decision we make has trade﹣offs.Find a balance so that we have enough time to achieve the things that are really important to us.
(5) A .
To stay on track,divide up your main goal of learning a new language into smaller goals,and then reward yourself after you reach each one.Perhaps that means after you master all the vocabulary in the food and drink category you'll finally throw that fancy dinner party you've been dreaming about.A big reward at the end,such as an international trip,can certainly be motivating,but don't forget to also celebrate your small triumphs along the way.
A.Reward Yourself.
B.Build confidence through practice.
C.The most important thing is to do something every day.
D.With that in mind,here are our top tips for staying motivated to keep learning.
E.For example,you can try writing a short story or poem in the new language you're learning.
F.Whatever our distraction of choice it's important to recognize it and ask if we can do without it.
G.But research shows that returning to these images and visualizing your goals can help you succeed.
【考点】学习.
【答案】DGEFA
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了保持学习动力的方法:记得学习的目的,经常回顾所学,识别干扰以及适时奖励。
【解答】(1)D.推理判断题。设空句为段末,应起到承起后文的作用。根据后文各小段标题"Remember why you started","Reflect on what you've learned so far"等可知,后文针对如何保持学习语言的积极性提出建议。选项D"With that in mind,here are our top tips for staying motivated to keep learning.(考虑到这一点,下面是一些保持学习动力的小贴士。)"合理概括了后文内容,且句中"that"与前文相呼应,前后衔接紧密。故选D。
(2)G.推理判断题。根据前文"When your brain is focused on learning,it makes sense that these concrete goals may slip out of your mind."可知,当大脑专注于学习时,这些具体的目标可能会从脑海中消失,而本段小标题为"Remember why you started(记住你为什么开始)",因此设空句作为段末句既要呼应主题句,又要与前文形成转折关系。选项G"But research shows that returning to these images and visualizing your goals can help you succeed.(但研究表明,回到这些形象中,把你的目标形象化可以帮助你成功。)"中"But"与前文形成转折关系,且"returning to these images"呼应主题。故选G。
(3)E.细节理解题。根据前文"But before you look ahead,take some time to reflect on how far you've come."可知,作者强调展望未来之前,花些时间反思一下已经走了多远,由此可知,设空句应承接该内容进一步解释如何"反思",提出方法或举例。选项E"For example,you can try writing a short story or poem in the new language you're learning."提出了"可以试着用你正在学习的新语言写一篇小故事或一首诗"的方法举例,符合语境分析。故选E。
(4)F.推理判断题。根据本段小标题"Identify distractions"可知,本段的核心词汇为distractions,主要讲到了如何识别干扰。选项F"Whatever our distraction of choice it's important to recognize it and ask if we can do without it."提及"无论什么分散注意力,重要的是要认识到它,并问问是否可以不做它",贴合本段主题,且句中"whatever our distraction of choice"与前文举例"Maybe it's our environment to staying up﹣to﹣date with television shows,or that extra hour of Facebooking before we go to bed."相呼应。故选F。
(5)A.主旨大意题。设空句为本段小标题,应体现本段核心词汇和主旨要义。根据后文"…then reward yourself after you reach each one(然后在达到小目标后奖励自己)"以及"big reward at the end,such as an international trip,can certainly be motivating,but don't forget to also celebrate your small triumphs along the way.(最后的大奖励,比如一次国际旅行,肯定会激励你,但是不要忘记在这个过程中庆祝你的小成就。)"可知,本段的核心词为"reward",主要内容为"小目标得奖励"。选项A"Reward Yourself."贴合主旨要义,符合语境分析。故选A。
【点评】七选五解题策略
1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。
2)从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。例如,在看到表示并列或递进关系的关联词时,一般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性,而表示转折让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指,但句意对立,或褒贬对立或肯否对立,而表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的句子,往往会有复数名词出现。
6.It can be really frustrating when you want to stand up for yourself but always feel the tears coming﹣especially when you know that what you have to say is valid and important. (1) E ,or that you're stuck in the same situation every time.We hope that with the help of these strategies,you'll be able to stand up for yourself,and gain the respect that you deserve.
Taking deep breaths activates a natural relaxation response.If you feel like you're about to cry,you're likely feeling stressed and overwhelmed.By taking deep breaths,you're sending a message to your brain to calm down—your heart rate,blood pressure,and breathing will all decrease.(2) C .
Another way to prevent yourself from crying is to deliberately pause a little.Rather than going on and on,say what you want to and then stop and wait for the other person to respond.(3) G .
But if you let yourself get caught up in your frustration and sadness all at once,you may be more likely to begin crying.
(4) D .You may find yourself crying because you lack confidence in yourself,but research has found that your body posture can actually make you think more positive about yourself Try to stand straight,plant your feet wide,and keep your head up﹣you may feel better about your worth and what you have to say.
It's okay if you aren't successful on your first couple of tries.It's important to recognize that not only is crying a common and understandable reaction to emotional distress,but that you can still make a stand and get your point across even if you are crying.(5) A ,so be easy on yourself during the journey!
A.You'll get better with time and practice
B.Crying is usually regarded as a sign of weakness
C.This may help you feel more relaxed and grounded
D.Having better body posture can boost your confidence
E.Yet you shouldn't feel like there's no way to deal with it
F.You'll meet different difficulties and challenges in the process
G.Even if you have a lot to say,you'll be able to get to it in time
【考点】人与自我.
【答案】(1)﹣(5)ECGDA
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了当我们想维护自己但是又忍不住哭的时候的一些策略。
【解答】(1)E.细节理解题。上文"It can be really frustrating when you want to stand up for yourself but always feel the tears coming—especially when you know that what you have to say is valid and important."(当你想为自己站起来,但总是感到眼泪来了,这真的会令人沮丧——尤其是当你知道你必须说的是有效的和重要的。)说明了当你想维护自己时眼泪突然忍不住这令人沮丧的事实;根据下文"or that you're stuck in the same situation every time"(或者你每次都被困在相同的情况下)的并列词or可推断与前文表达的意思类似,所以E选项"但你不应该觉得没有办法处理它"与上文形成转折关系,又与后文形成并列关系,符合题意。故选E项。
(2)C.推理判断题。上文"If you feel like you're about to cry,you're likely feeling stressed and overwhelmed."(如果你感觉自己要哭了,你可能会感到压力和不知所措。)说明了人想哭的时候是感到压力和不知所措了;上文"By taking deep breaths,you're sending a message to your brain to calm down—your heart rate,blood pressure,and breathing will all decrease."(通过深呼吸,你向你的大脑发送了一个信号,让它平静下来——你的心率、血压和呼吸都会下降)说明了深呼吸会让人平静下来;C选项中的"this"指的是上文的taking deep breaths,这样可能会让你感觉更放松、更踏实"relaxed and grounded"与上文的"stressed and overwhelmed"相对,所以C选项This may help you feel more relaxed and grounded(.这可能会让你感到更加放松和脚踏实地)符合题意。故选C项。
(3)G.细节理解题。上文"Another way to prevent yourself from crying is to deliberately pause a little.Rather than going on and on,say what you want to and then stop and wait for the other person to respond."(另一种防止自己哭泣的方法是故意停顿一会儿。与其没完没了地说下去,不如说出你想说的话,然后停下来等着对方回应)说明了防止自己哭泣的方法之一是适当停顿,不要没完没了地说下去;G选项 "即使你有很多话要说,你也能及时说出来"中的"have a lot to say"与上文"pause a little"对应,承接上文,说明了适当停顿的好处,符合题意。故选G项。
(4)D.主旨大意题。设空处位于句首,是本段的主旨句,所以要选择一个能概括后文内容的选项;后文"You may find yourself crying because you lack confidence in yourself,but research has found that your body posture can actually make you think more positive about yourself Try to stand straight,plant your feet wide,and keep your head up—you may feel better about your worth and what you have to say."(你可能会发现自己哭了,因为你缺乏自信,但研究发现,你的身体姿势可以让你更积极的思考自己想站直,植物英尺宽,保持你的头你可能感觉更好关于你的价值和你说什么)说明了身体姿势可以使人产生积极的想法,并列举了一些有用的姿势,所以D选项"更好的身体姿势可以增强你的信心"符合题意,引出了后文的内容。故选D项。
(5)A.细节理解题。上文"It's okay if you aren't successful on your first couple of tries. "(刚开始尝试的时候不成功也没有关系);根据下文"so be easy on yourself during the journey"(在这个过程中要放轻松)中表示结果的连词so可推断,设空处说明的是要放轻松的原因;A选项"随着时间和练习,你会变得更好的"承接了上文,说明了即使刚开始失败,但是只要经过练习也可以变好,同时引起了下文,告诉读者要放轻松。故选A项。
【点评】①通读全文,了解文章大意;
②细读七个选项,找出和文章相对应的关键词,分析选项间的逻辑关系;
③根据文章整体结构、具体内容,结合关键词,选出最佳选项。
④将所选答案代入文中,再次通读全文,重点查看逻辑关系和关联结构是否合理。
7.Nature soothes(抚慰)our stressed﹣out souls.We know that nature is the best prescription,and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks.
(1) E The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier,regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.
"In general,we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well﹣being(幸福感)after the park visit." the study's lead author and University of Alabama at Birmingham professor Hon K.Yuen said in a statement."(2) G "Instead,we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well﹣being."
For the study,94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook,Alabama,completing a questionnaire about their subjective well﹣being before and after their visit. (3) A A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results,with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self﹣reported well﹣being,even if they didn't move a great deal in the park(4) F
The study group was truly small,as the study's co﹣author and another UAB professor,Gavin Jenkins,acknowledges.(5) C The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.
A.Something was used to track their physical activity.
B.You usually visit a small green space in your neighborhood.
C.However,its findings pointed out the importance of city parks.
D.If you want to feel happier,you just need to exercise for 20 minutes in a park.
E.The best part is that you needn't visit a national park or go far out of your way.
F.This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park,regardless of physical ability.

【考点】自然科学研究成果.
【答案】EGAFC
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了经研究发现参观公园会提升我们的幸福感。
【解答】(1)E.承上启下题。文章第一段提到"Nature soothes our stressed﹣out souls.We know that nature is the best prescription,and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks.(大自然抚慰我们紧张的灵魂。我们知道,大自然是最好的处方,新的研究表明,我们可以在游览公园的过程中获益)"结合空格处下文"The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier,regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.(这项发表在《国际环境健康研究杂志》上的研究发现,在城市公园里呆20分钟会让你更快乐,不管你是否利用这段时间锻炼。)"可知,空格处句子应该承上启下,表达"到大自然中感受快乐"之意,所以E项"The best part is that you needn't visit a national park or go far out of your way.(最棒的是,你不必去国家公园,也不必走太远的路)"符合语境。故选E.
(2)G.细节推断题。根据上文"In general,we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well﹣being after the park visit.(总的来说,我们发现游客在参观公园后,他们的情绪健康有所改善)"及下文"Instead,we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well﹣being.(相反,我们发现花在公园的时间与改善情绪健康有关"可知,游览公园可以改善情绪,空格处句子应该对前后句起承上启下的作用。故G项"But we didn't find levels of physical activity are linked to improved emotional well﹣being(然而,我们没有发现身体活动水平与情绪改善有关)"符合语境。故选G.
(3)A.细节推理题。根据上文"For the study,94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook,Alabama,completing a questionnaire about their subjective well﹣being before and after their visit.(在这项研究中,94名成年人参观了阿拉巴马州山溪市的三个城市公园,在参观前后完成了一份关于他们主观幸福感的问卷调查)及下文"A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results,with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self﹣reported well﹣being,even if they didn't move a great deal in the park(20到25分钟的参观显示出最好的结果,参与者的幸福感增加了约64%,即使他们在公园里不怎么运动)"可知,上文提到的问卷调查与下文的调查结果之间需要一个过渡句来表达"怎样进行的调查"。故A项"Something was used to track their physical activity(有一些东西被用来追踪他们的身体活动)"符合语境。故选A.
(4)F.段尾总结句。根据上文"A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results,with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self﹣reported well﹣being,even if they didn't move a great deal in the park(20到25分钟的参观显示出最好的结果,参与者的幸福感增加了约64%,即使他们在公园里不怎么运动)"可知,在公园里不活动也会增添快乐。故F项"This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park,regardless of physical ability.(这意味着人们可以从参观附近的公园中受益,无论他们的身体运动情况如何)"符合语境。故选F.
(5)C.细节推断题。根据上文"The study group was truly small,as the study's co﹣author and another UAB professor,Gavin Jenkins,acknowledges.(正如研究报告的合著者,UAB 的另一位教授Gavin Jenkins所说的那样,研究小组的规模确实很小)"及下文"The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.(城市面临的挑战是,越来越多的证据表明城市公园的价值,但我们却继续看到这些空间的减少)"可知,公园虽对人有益,但存在的却不多。故C项"However,its findings pointed out the importance of city parks(然而,研究结果指出了城市公园的重要性)"符合语境。however在此表示意思的转折。故选C.
【点评】选句填空类阅读理解题材广泛,所以学生要拓展知识面,关心时事,学习之余,增加阅读面。做此类题型,要通读全文,了解常见写作顺序,重点理解空白处前后的句子,关注段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系,如:并列、转折、因果关系及其它关系。把握意思的连贯性、逻辑性,锁定线索词,认真阅读选项,排除迷惑项,确定选项后,再快速泛读全文,确保文章上下衔接流畅,选项有据可依。
8. Maybe this is your first travel.Having the know﹣how to best manage your trip will help you to really enjoy the experiences you encounter along the way.(1) B
Be a sun riser
(2) E Having the best sights and locations all to yourself is special.If you are into your photography,getting some photos at sunrise will be great due to the sun's light at this hour.
Cash stash
Cash is the king.For an emergency,having some extra cash stashed away in a few places is a good way to cover yourself.
A couple hundred pounds or dollars or whatever is worth having stashed.This way if you ever lose your purse or if your credit cards cease to function,you will be covered with your stash!ATMs run out of cash occasionally too.(3) C You can keep it in your shoes,in a rolled up sock,in your toiletry bag(盟洗用品袋),or maybe in a small hidden compartment of your main luggage bag.
Meet the locals
You should try to make an effort to avoid other travelers for long periods of time.(4) A Basic English is spoken in a lot of countries or you could even learn some basic sentences in their language.So don't panic.It's much easier to communicate with others than you might have imagined,with your body language and gestures.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文,给准备第一次旅行的小伙伴介绍了几条注意事项,以提升旅游体验。
【解答】(1)推理判断题。设空处位于首段断尾,引出下文内容,后文介绍的是一些旅行途中的注意事项,B选项"Below are some tips which can help get you started.(以下是一些可以帮助你开始的建议。)"概括了要点,some tips与下文段首标题相呼应,故选B。
