答案　
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。在大学校园内的咖啡馆工作十七年之久的Murphy,不仅为学生带去了美味的咖啡,更重要的是用微笑服务给学生们带来了美好的心情和积极向上的精神。
1. E　空前提到大学咖啡厅可以满足短暂休息的需求,还能提供更多的服务。第二段描述了主人公Murphy具体做的事情。E项(这家咖啡馆不仅提供饮品,还提供微笑)是对空前句的具体说明,并且可以引出下文Murphy为顾客提供饮品和微笑的内容。故选E。
2. D　空前介绍Murphy穿梭于机器之间做饮品,空后提到顾客从她的手中接过饮品。D项(完成一份订单后,她会喊出杯子上的名字)与前后文构成连贯动作:Murphy制作饮品→喊顾客名字→顾客领取饮品。故选D。
3. C　空前表明Murphy每天按时上班,空后提到她这样做是因为喜欢为学生们做咖啡。空后的so是信号词,由此推断设空处是Murphy的一种做法。C项(有时她到得早是为了早些为学生们服务)进一步说明了她的敬业和为学生服务的热情,同时解释了so的内容。故选C。
4. F　设空处前后都与咖啡馆的一个顾客Joanna Wright相关。空前说她一周至少六天来喝咖啡。空后引用Wright的话来说明Murphy的微笑。F项(去咖啡馆开启了她美好的一天,同时也让她为上课做好了准备)解释了空前她频繁去咖啡馆的原因,选项中的starts her day off good和空后的puts me in a cheerful mood相呼应。故选F。
5. G　后文提到Murphy一心想待在这儿,继续做自己喜欢的事情。G项(她在这里工作了十七年,无法想象在其他地方工作)体现了她对这份工作的热爱和坚持,与后文她想继续留在这里工作相呼应。故选G。
难句分析
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious and can be the difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her.
译文　Murphy可能不知道的一件事是她的微笑是有感染力的,能使一个学生比见到她之前有更好的心情和更好的状态。
分析　Murphy may not know是省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰One thing;that引导表语从句。

答案　
语篇解读　本文是说明文,主要介绍了四个意想不到的全家一起做志愿服务的好处。
1. B　本段是照应标题“全家一起做志愿服务的意想不到的好处”的开篇段。前两句提到你是否想找到大人小孩都能参与的能让一家人亲近的方式,后一句具体阐述做志愿服务有你可能知道的助人为乐的好处也有你意想不到的更多对全家人的好处,因此设空处需要起到承上启下的作用。B 项(一家人做志愿服务刚好可能是你所需要的那种方式)能够照应标题,回答前文的问题,同时引出后文。故选 B。
2. G　上一句提到为社区事业投入时间实际上会让你感觉自己有更多的时间。根据本段标题(你将会感觉有了更多的时间)可知, 本段阐述的内容与“时间”有关,G 项中的each day符合语境。故选G。
3. E　设空处位于段首,考虑段落中心句。本段主要阐述的是“定期做志愿服务能活得更长”。空后举例说明55岁及以上的参加志愿活动的人获得的对健康的好处,adults为提示词,所以设空处一定出现了相应的原词或同义表达。E项中的For adults符合语境,E项(对成年人来说,做志愿服务能够提供显著的身体健康方面的好处)也能表达段落主旨。故选 E。
4. C　设空处在小标题位置,考虑段落主旨句。本段第一句提到了“major positive effects”并举例说明;第二句提到了“to affect a teen's well-being”,均围绕“积极的影响”阐述。C项中的effect与段中的effects和affect吻合,teenagers与段中的teenage和teen为同义复现,C项(做志愿服务对孩子和青少年来说有终身的影响)能够很好地概括本段的主旨。故选C。
5. F　前一句提出家庭成员可能会有特别的经历,后一句再次提到something unique,也就是说,设空处需要体现出其他成员以前不知道的“unique”之意。最后一句中的“all your children can feel proud of their work”表明与孩子有关。F项(你甚至可能会得知你的孩子拥有你以前不知道的天赋)符合语境。故选 F。

Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿). 1.　　　 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 2.　　　 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
3.　　　 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 4.　　　 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 5.　　　 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don’t often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don’t want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.
语篇解读　本文是说明文,主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验、心得与乐趣。
1. F　上文提到如果你想发表(作品),提交一份完美、专业的原稿是至关重要的。所以设空处应该进一步解释什么样的原稿才是上文所描述的样子。下文又提到,没有哪个编辑可能会容忍一个不愿花心思正确拼写单词的作者。因此设空处所描述的完美原稿应该是“语法正确,没有拼写错误”的。F项中的That指代空前的a perfect, professionally presented manuscript。故选F。
2. B　上文提到作者不信任笔记本电脑的拼写检查程序。设空处对此做出解释:因为“它不考虑上下文”。B项中的It指代空前的spellchecker。故选B。
3. E　设空处位于段首,考虑段落主旨句。空后两个句子的主语都是It,由句意“它应该给出每个单词的准确定义,从而区分意义相似却不相同的单词。它通常也会表明单词是如何发音的”推断,It指的是词典,因此设空处应包含单数的表示词典的字眼。空后的两个句子是对词典功能的阐述,因此设空处也应该描述其功能。E项(当然,词典不仅仅用于拼写)与之相符,故选E。
4. A　上文提到作者廉价买到了一本词典。空后的However提示下文与设空处内容构成转折关系。下文说如果作者需要查一个单词的来源或查找关于其用法的示例,这本词典再好不过了。因此A项(我不经常使用这本词典)符合语境。this dictionary指代上文中的Shorter Oxford Dictionary。
5. D　空前用Samuel Johnson的话表明“编词典是枯燥的工作”,空后的a rewarding experience与空前内容构成转折关系,故设空处需要承上启下,D项(但是阅读词典也可以是一种乐趣)中的a pleasure to read与前面的“To make dictionaries is dull work”构成转折,同时引出下文,故选D。

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1.　　　 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2.　　
Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3.　　　 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
4.　　　 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5.　　　 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
语篇解读　本文是说明文,主要围绕过度旅游展开讨论并提供应对的建议。
1. B　根据空后的“Certainly not.”判断设空处应填一个疑问句,将答案锁定在B、D两项。后文提到不去旅游会让我们失去一些东西,这是我们无法接受的。比较两个目标选项发现,B项(那么,我们应该停止旅行吗 )与上文旅游的快速增长给特定地区带来了不良影响构成因果关系 ,同时引出下文不能停止旅行的原因。故选B。
技巧点拨　有问才有答。“Certainly not.”意为“当然不”,常用于回答问题。因此,看到表示回答的语句时,要考虑前面应该有问题。
2. C　本段谈论谨慎选择旅游的地点。空前建议读者去非常吸引自己(deeply draws you)的地方旅行,而不是随大溜。C项(旅行是为自己而非他人)是对前文选择非常吸引自己的地方去旅行的进一步阐释。故选C。
3. E　空前提到有很多不那么热门的地方(less-visited options)可供选择,空后建议选择去热门目的地较不出名的景点(lesser-known sights)。E项中的relatively undiscovered和原文中的less-visited、lesser-known呼应。故选E。
4. A　设空处位于段首,考虑段落主旨句。根据主旨句句式一致原则,锁定同为祈使句的A、C、G三项。后文中的skipping major holidays or rush hour(避开重大节假日或高峰时间)与A项中的off-peak times(淡季)呼应,且后文提到了淡季旅行的好处,因此A 项(在淡季旅行)符合本段主旨。故选A。
5. G　由空后的the people there判断应该提到一个地方。G项中的the communities you’re visiting与空后的there呼应,且与空前句同为祈使句,是作者提出的建议:保护旅行目的地的特色以及回馈所参观的地区。故选G。

Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don't beat yourself up about them. To err(犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 2 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don't have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you're proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you've done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don't wait until you've made a mistake to try this—it's a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It's something of a cliché（陈词滥调） that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it's true. 5 We're all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It's just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn't mean you have to ignore what's happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn't a fixed aspect of your personality.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文（总—分—总结构），主题语境是积极的生活态度，主要介绍了在错误面前如何学会适度自我原谅。
1. D
细节句。空前提到为错误承担责任是好的，但不要因为错误过分自责，人都会犯错。后句提到使用下面的写作训练来做到这一点（do this）。代词this提示设空处要提到某一种做法。D项（给自己一些宽恕同样重要）中的show yourself some forgiveness与后句中的do this呼应。故选D。
2. B细节句。本段主要说的是“Personal strengths”。空后用一系列问句点明个人优点的具体内容。最后一句中的aspects of your personality that you're proud of与B项中的characteristics you like about yourself呼应。且B项与下一段第二句句式一致（list all the...），代入原文中语义连贯。故选B。
3. F总结句。本段主要说的是“Acts of kindness”。第二句提到列举所有你为他人做过的好事，第三句举例说明——帮朋友做作业，主动熨衣服，在家人累了一天后做饼干。这些都是很小的事情，与F项中的no matter how small it might seem呼应。F项中的write it down与文中的list呼应。故选F。
4. C过渡句。前一句提到让朋友或家人帮助在清单上添加内容，后一句提到以这种方式，你可以和朋友或家人交换想法。浏览选项可以发现，C项中的They呼应前一句中的a friend or family member，代入原文后与前后文衔接自然。故选C。
5. G过渡句。本段主要说的是人们从错误中学习。G项中的mistake与本段首句的mistakes呼应，G项中的isn't a fixed aspect of your personality与后句中的all changing and learning呼应。故选G。
重点词汇
responsibility n.责任；义务
creative adj.有创造力的;有创意的

As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook(素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. 1. You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.
·Paint often and paint from life. There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 2.
·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 3. Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club; we've all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
?4. Seeking and accepting constructive feedback(反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. 5. Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A. Get out of your comfort zone.
B. Make career plans and set goals.
C. Don't throw away your beginner art.
D. Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E. You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.
F. Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.
G. You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.
答案
[语篇解读]本文为说明文（总—分—总结构），主题语境是丰富自我。作者就初学者如何开启绘画之旅提出了四条建议。最后提醒读者绘画之路是艰辛的，只有坚持努力，才能有所收获。
1. C细节句。设空处位于段中，考虑细节补充。空后说你会想要回顾你的旅程，看看你已经走了多远。由此可推知，想要回顾，就要看beginner art（初学作品）。故选C。
2. G过渡句。设空处位于段末，考虑承上启下或者归纳概括。本段的主题句是“Paint often and paint from life.”，后文由此展开。put in those brush miles和as much as possible都是对paint often的说明。最后概括：你会形成绘画肌肉记忆，这种记忆只能通过重复来实现。故选G。
3. A细节句。设空处位于段中，考虑细节补充。本段的主题句是“Continually challenge yourself to try something new.”。具体的做法就是走出舒适区，去尝试新的事物，接受新的挑战。故选A。
4. D主旨句。设空处位于段首，考虑段落主题句。空后说寻求和接受建设性的反馈对成长至关重要。想要得到反馈，就要分享自己的作品。作者以自身为例，讲了自己上传作品后得到积极反馈的经历。post my work是share的方式之一。故选D。
5. E细节句。设空处位于段中，考虑细节补充。前一句说你的绘画之路不会一帆风顺，所以“你会遇到障碍，有时你会感到气馁”符合语境。故选E。

　　Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,” while another read: “　1　” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 　2　 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. 　3　 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 　4　
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 　5　 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A.Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B.A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C.You'll work harder if you train with someone else.
D.Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport
E.How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice
F.Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.
G.Any notice for a training partner should include such information.
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章介绍了健身搭档的重要性和找搭档的注意事项。
1.C　细节句。设空处讲的是感谢你的健身搭档的第二个原因。C项以You'll开头,与第一个原因句式一致,故选C。
2.D　细节句。上一句说要确定找搭档的目的,设空处及下一句Or do you just want...是两个目的。D项与设空处下一句均是一般疑问句,且句式相似,故选D。
3.B　细节句。上一句指出在社交媒体上寻找搭档可能不会让你得到一个有用的回应。下一句指出搭档必须属于同一个健身房,由此可知搭档要与自己住得近。
4.G　总结句。上文一系列的信息与G项中的such information呼应。
5.F　细节句。上文说你和你的搭档可能会有不同的技能,下一句说经过一段时间,你们两个都将受益,所以此处表示应接受不同点并且学会合作,故选F。

　　Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
　1　 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 　2　 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 　3　 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled(弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple spaced(三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 　4　 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks(大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 　5　 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A.Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B.Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C.The second draft of the essay should be better.
D.First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E.Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F.Many beginning writers don't leave enough space to revise.
G.Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple space.
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章介绍了三种写文章的简单技巧。
1.D　主旨句。上文提到学会应用三种简单技巧,接下来应介绍第一条,对应D项里的First of all;下文中的write nonstop对应D项中的nonstop writing。
2.B　细节句。上文提到要不停地写并保持放松和不受限制的状态,故B项“让笔随心。”符合语境。
3.E　过渡句。上文表明要快速打草稿而不要担心完美程度,下文则说:然而,通过学会与不完美共存,你会省去很多烦恼。E项“太多作者试图一次性把草稿写对。”中的right(正确)与上文中的perfect(完美)对应。
4.F　过渡句。设空处上句提到要打印出一份三倍行距留有修改空间的稿子,下句则说:结果,这些作者决不会形成划掉大块草稿在空白处写修改内容的习惯。F项“很多初写文章的作者不留出足够的修改空间。”承接上文的“留出修改空间”,而“不留出足够的修改空间”引出下文的无法形成在空白处写修改内容的习惯。三句中的线索词是space和revise/revision。
5.G　过渡句。上文提到在第一次草稿被改得无处下笔后,把你的修改输入文字处理软件,下文表明这样处理后形成的空白可以使你再次修改。G项“然后再次将你的文稿设置成三倍行距打出一份新草稿。”承接上文,引出下文,衔接得当。关键词print out和triple space对应本段第一句主题句。

　　My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 　1　 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管)worked. 　2　 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 　3　 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
　4　 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 　5　 When do these people work The French take their 35 hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with 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.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文。作者主要介绍了自己和丈夫在巴黎体验当地生活的经历。
1.F　过渡句。文章第一句提到丈夫和自己在巴黎待了一周;设空处之后提到他们租了一套公寓(rent a fantastically expensive sixth floor apartment),句子以So开始,说明和前面设空处所选的句子构成因果关系。选项F表示作者夫妇“想开始像真正的巴黎人那样生活”,与后面的句子正好是因果关系,因此F项为正确选项。
2.C　细节句。设空处前一句提到作者租的公寓水管好用,后一句提到他们所在的楼还有一个小型电梯,这些都是关于公寓设施的。由此可推断设空处应该也是有关公寓的设施。C项提到厨房和床,属于公寓设施,故选C项。
3.G　细节句。设空处前面一句中提到巴黎人吃得好还不变胖,后面两句中提到法国的草莓吃进嘴里就像美味的小炸弹炸开一样(explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs),这个比喻说明草莓很好吃。G项中提到法国的食物很美味,人们不需要吃很多就很开心。句中delicious与like little flavor bombs相对应,也说明了法国人不变胖的原因(不需要吃很多就开心了)。
4.E　过渡句。选项E中That指代上文所提到的情况(法国食物美味,他们不需要吃很多),整个句子意为“那不是法国人比我们吃得少的唯一原因”。由此可知,这句话后面应该写另外的原因。设空处之后提到作者在当地买了一些美味的水果,但是要花费18美元(But they cost $18!)。最后一句话中作者用了But表示转折,句末用了感叹号表明其吃惊的语气,言外之意为价格过高(法国人会买得很少)。这些描写正好与E项表述吻合。
5.A　细节句。设空处前面一句提到法国咖啡馆总是拥挤的。选项A意为“不是所有的顾客都是游客”(也就是说还有很多法国本地人)。句中的customers与前面的French cafés相对应。故选A。

　　If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine, the speed at which you read probably does not matter very much. But if you have to read a great deal for study, you will appreciate the benefits of being able to read more quickly. 　1　
●Before you open the book, make sure that you are comfortable. You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes.　2　
●　3　Look at the table of contents, the preface, the chapter heading, etc. This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it. Ten minutes spent in this way could save you quite a lot of time in the long run.
●If you decide that you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. 　4　 A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects. In the former case you may be able to read a chapter. In the latter you may only be able to read one page.
●Always keep a pencil and paper beside you. 　5　 Note also the facts important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research. You don't have to write these things in detail. It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder.
A.Stop to have a rest now and then.
B.Spend a few minutes looking through the book.
C.This depends on the type of book you are reading.
D.Here are some tips to help improve your reading speed.
E.Make a note of any page which is of special importance.
F.You may find yourself having to learn something by heart.
G.Keep the room cool rather than warm to avoid feeling sleepy.

　　Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 　1　 Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.”　2　 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one. 　3　
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.　4　 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
　5　 It's rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably can't count the times that you've thought,“I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A.Do the opposite.
B.You want to be an effective public speaker.
C.You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
D.When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G.However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,介绍了要想成为优秀演讲者必须掌握的原则。
1.G　细节句。设空处前一句Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking中,Some individuals对应G项中the majority of people,born with a gift对应G项中train to be。结合下文讲到训练的四个原则,可知G项(然而,大多数的人都是因为他们受过训练而成为给人深刻印象的演讲者的)为最佳答案。
2.A　过渡句。由本段第二句(通常,当你站起来演讲时,你关注的是“公众”而不是“演讲”)以及第四句(要专注于演讲)可知设空处前后句是两种截然不同的做法。故选A项(做相反的事)。
3.C　细节句。由本段第一句(即使是最成功的演说家也会犯错误)和第四、五句(事实上,大多数人只大约吸收了演讲者信息的20%。所以,当你犯错误时,不要停止演讲,除非是非常严重的错误)可知C项(你没有必要为你的小疏漏道歉)符合逻辑。a minor slip对应第五句中的a truly serious one。
4.B　细节句。本段第一句Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker中的a perfect public speaker对应B项中的an effective public speaker。设空处后一句And like everything else in life, that takes practice中的that也指代B选项的内容。因此B项(你想成为一个给人深刻印象的公众演说家)是最佳选项。
5.D　主旨句。根据本段内容尤其是最后两句Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end可知,D项When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more(说到公开演讲,通常少些更好)概括了本段的核心内容。

　3　This will make it easier for you to answer questions about your symptoms(症状)and how medicines make you feel. It also makes it easier for you to bring up anything that you are worried about. Make sure to be honest about how you feel and how long you've felt that way.
●　4

What is moderation(适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 1.　　　 But it doesn’t mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It’s important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. 2.　　　 It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It’s more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. 3.　　
Control emotional(情绪的) eating. 4.　　　 Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
5.　　　 A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism(新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A. Eat properly throughout the day.
B. We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C. Don’t swallow a meal on the way to work.
D. Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G. That won’t lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.
语篇解读　本文是说明文,主要介绍了如何适度饮食,包括放慢进食速度、尽可能与他人共同进餐、控制情绪化饮食以及全天合理安排饮食。
1. F　空前提到了“moderation(适度)”的概念,即吃身体所需的食物量。空后提到这并不意味着要放弃你喜欢的食物。设空处需承上启下,对“moderation(适度)”的概念进一步解释,并引出后句。F项(对于我们许多人来说,适度意味着吃得比现在少)符合语境。moderation是上文的原词复现,“moderation means...”也和空后句“But it doesn’t mean...”构成转折。
2. C　本段首句提到要放慢速度(段落主旨),第二句进一步说明把食物当作营养品而不只是会议间隙吃的东西(something to eat in between meetings)。C项(不要在上班路上匆忙吞下食物)呼应段落主旨,且承接第二句语境。
3. E　前句提到如果身边有不健康的零食(unhealthy snacks)就会更难做到适量饮食。E项(相反,要让自己周围充满健康的选择)符合此处语境。前句中的unhealthy和E项中的healthy形成对比。
4. B　后一句的also提示设空处与后一句构成并列关系。后一句说很多人为了应对负面情绪而吃东西,所以设空处也应该说明人们吃东西的目的。B项(我们吃东西并不总是仅仅为了填饱肚子)与之相符。
5. A　设空处位于段首,考虑段落主旨句。后文提到了健康早餐(A healthy breakfast)的重要性,避免深夜进食(Avoid eating late at night),早点吃晚餐以及晚餐与第二天早餐之间禁食14—16个小时(fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning),强调了全天合理饮食的必要性,因此A 项(全天合理饮食)适合做段落主旨句。

Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways they are the unsung heroes of the home. 1. , but studies have shown that they can promote people's wellbeing by improving their mood(心情), reducing stress and helping their memory. What's more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.
What are indoor plants
Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of these species(物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter. 2. .
Why are indoor plants good for you
Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, “3. . I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can improve creativity, focus and memory. There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful gases， such as carbon dioxide. They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. 4. .
Which plants can you grow
Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy plants from supermarkets, garden centres or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature—which is part of the joy of owning plants. “5 .,” Spoelstra says. “It can bring a new interest and focus into people's lives and help to make the link between home and nature.”
A. All plants are different
B. Not only do they look beautiful
C. There are many benefits to growing plants indoors
D. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is warmer
E. Plants like peace lilies and devil's ivy are among the best
F. Changing the pot of your plant from time to time will also help
G. Learning about the requirements of each plant can be very rewarding
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文（总—分结构），主题语境是人与植物，主要介绍了室内植物的定义、益处并给出了选择室内植物的建议。
1. B细节句。设空处位于段中，考虑细节补充。根据空后的逗号可知，设空处所填内容非整句，再结合逗号后的but可知，逗号前后内容并列。浏览选项可以发现，B项中的Not only可以与but（省略了also）连用，表示“不仅……而且……”，代入原文后意义连贯，表示“它们不仅好看，而且研究表明它们能够通过改善心情、减轻压力和提高记忆力来提升人们的幸福感”。故选B。
2. D细节句。设空处位于段尾，考虑细节补充或概括总结。前一句说在英国，尤其是在冬天，这些物种中有很多不太适合在室外生长。浏览选项可以发现，D项意为“相反，它们在更温暖的室内长得更好”。inside与前一句中的outside构成反义关系，warmer与前一句中的in the winter构成对比关系，呼应Instead。故选D。
3. C主旨句。本段主要讲的是室内植物对你有好处的原因。后文中的“lift your mood”“improve creativity, focus and memory”“clean the air around them”以及“remove some harmful chemicals”都是在具体讲室内植物的好处，C项（种植室内植物有许多好处）能起到总领后文的作用，故选C。
4. E细节句。设空处位于段尾，考虑细节补充或概括总结。上文提到了室内植物的种种好处。pot plants提示设空处有相关信息。浏览选项可以发现，E项承接上文，以功效最好的两种盆栽——和平芋和魔鬼藤作为实例进一步补充说明植物净化空气的作用。故选E。
5. G细节句。设空处是引语的前半部分。本题的解题关键是空后的It，它所代指的内容就是设空处或者包含在设空处中。引语后半部分意为“它能给人们的生活带来新的兴趣和关注点，并有助于建立家与自然之间的纽带”。浏览选项可以发现，意思能与之衔接的是G项（了解每种植物的需求是非常有益的），引语的后半部分具体解释rewarding。故选G。

Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There's one answer:1. .
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
·Practice gratitude(感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 2. . “Showing thankfulness can foster self?-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
·Make yourself wait
Instant gratification(满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.3. . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
?4.
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself,“5. .” You'll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是完善自我。本文介绍了成为一个更加有耐心的人的技巧。
1. G过渡句。前一句引用了一个谜语，该谜语的意思是“交通拥堵、排长队和等待假期开始这些情况有什么共同点？”，设空处内容是该谜语的谜底，并且该空位于第一段，应起到引入主题、总领全文的作用。结合选项可知，G选项（这些都是我们需要多点耐心的情况）既能概括谜语中提到的三种情况，又能起到引入主题的作用。故选G。
2. E细节句。该空位于小标题“Practice gratitude”下面。前一句说明了感激的好处，但并没有将感激与耐心相结合。后一句说明了表达感激可以培养自制力。由此可以推断，设空处应该说明感激与耐心的关系。分析选项可知，只有E选项阐述了感激与耐心的关系，其中的It指thankfulness，并且also起到承接上文的作用。故选E。
3. B过渡句。前一句指出养成等待这一习惯的唯一方法就是去训练，后一句用具体的例子（推迟看最喜欢的节目，吃蛋糕前多等十分钟）说明应如何训练。由此可知，设空处应该阐述如何训练，并与下文所举的例子相呼应。B选项就是训练指导，且small tasks与后文举的例子相呼应。故选B。
4. C主旨句。设空处是本段小标题。根据前面两个小标题的特点可知，设空处应该用祈使句，符合其特点的是A、B、C三个选项，B选项已排除；结合本段中的“being comfortable is the only...experience something outside of our comfort zone”可推知，C选项（接受不适）符合语境。故选C。
5. F细节句。后一句提到“那样你就会逐渐变得更有耐心”，从then可以看出此句与前一句为顺承关系，由此推知，设空处应该是介绍怎么处理“不舒适”的情况，作者劝告读者怎么去做，所以F选项“这仅仅是不舒适，而不是无法忍受”符合题意。由本段中的关键词comfortable、tolerate也可以推知设空处作者给的劝告与此相关。故选F。
长难句
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances.
译文 我们中的许多人认为，舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时，我们会对环境失去耐心。
分析 本句是主从复合句。that引导同位语从句，与名词belief是同位关系。在该从句中，并列连词and连接两个并列分句：在第一个分句中，动名词短语“being comfortable”作主语，“we will tolerate”是一个省略关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词state；在第二个分句中，when引导时间状语从句。
重点词汇
trick n.诀窍;技巧；诡计;把戏patience n.耐心；忍耐力；毅力benefit n.益处；好处foster v.培养；收养

　　Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain(保持) long distance friendships.
·Set a regular date
Long lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact(联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 　1　.
·More isn't always merrier
Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 　2　. There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.
·Practise empathy(共情)
　3　. The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.
·　4　
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long distance friendships. Although technology might make day to day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends' birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.
·Don't rely on technology alone
　5　, but long distance friendships—even close ones—may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it Just spend face to face time together whenever possible.
A.Remember important dates
B.Compensate by writing letters
C.It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper
D.Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it
E.Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication
F.It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media
G.You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章提供了五个教你保持远距离的友谊的方法。
1.D　细节句。第一个方法是固定联系时间,设空处前一句表示“在很忙的情况下,挤时间打电话不是一件容易的事”,D项“努力找到一个双方都方便的时间并坚持下去”符合语境。
2.E　细节句。根据设空处前一句中的what method works best for you both可知,此处建议朋友之间也要谈论一下彼此喜欢的交流方式,故选E项。
3.G　细节句。本文关注的是远距离的友谊,说明朋友是分隔两地的,设空处后一句中提到了The friend who is remaining和the friend who has moved,分别指留下来的朋友和离开的朋友,这与G项中的the friend who left和the one who was left behind相呼应。
4.A　主旨句。此段中提到了Anniversaries(周年纪念日)、birthdays(生日)以及other important dates(其他重要的日子),这都是在告诉我们要记住重要的日子,故选A项。
5.F　细节句。小标题已提出建议——不要只依赖科技手段,最后一句中也提到了要花时间面对面交流,所以设空处所在句子想表达的是:通过社交媒体让朋友间产生建立了良好关系的感觉很容易,但是远距离的友谊可能需要更多刻意的努力来维持,故选F项。

Important Things to Know When Dining Out
Cultural dining etiquette(礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules. 　1　. Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family—no matter where you are in the world.
Chopstick Rules
The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you. 　2　.
Hands or Utensils(餐具)
In India and the Middle East, it's considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. 　3　, instead preferring to use their hands. In Chile, you may never touch any food with your fingers. People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons.
Making Requests
　4　. In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chef that you don't like their seasoning skills. Similarly, in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food.
Some of these cultural dining etiquette rules may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries. 　5　, the more comfortable you'll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices.
A.The more friends you make in your lifetime
B.The more time you spend in any given country
C.Mexicans consider it inappropriate to eat with utensils
D.Don't get caught making an embarrassing mistake at a restaurant
E.It's a good sign for the chef if you make a mess around your plate
F.Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them
G.It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章介绍了外出就餐时需要了解的与文化有关的餐饮礼节。
1.D　过渡句。上句指出与文化有关的餐饮礼节中的一些重要规则可能会让你大吃一惊。 下句指出了无论你在世界的哪个地方,知道一些提示将有助于确保你与朋友或家人一起愉快地吃一顿饭。D项“不要被人发现在餐馆犯了一个令人尴尬的错误”衔接上下文。
2.F　细节句。根据小标题“Chopstick Rules”可知本部分讲的是使用筷子的规矩。上句指出吃饭间隙放下筷子的时候,一定要把它们放在一起,和你面前的桌子边缘平行这一恰当做法。F项“不要把筷子直直地插在食物上,也不要在使用筷子时把它们交叉”说的是使用筷子的错误做法,F项中的them指代chopsticks,符合行文逻辑。
3.C　细节句。根据小标题“Hands or Utensils”并结合下文可知本部分讲的是不同国家的人们就餐时用手还是用餐具的不同习俗。设空处的上下文说明了印度和中东、法国、智利、泰国的就餐方式。结合设空处后面提到的“而是更喜欢用手”可知,C项“墨西哥人认为用餐具吃饭是不合适的”符合语境。
4.G　细节句。根据小标题“Making Requests”可知本部分讲的是“发出请求”。下文指出了在葡萄牙和意大利,发出请求将是一个严重的错误,因为这表明你不喜欢厨师的调味技术。G项“吃饭时要盐和胡椒粉似乎是一个简单的请求”符合语境。下句中的“this”指代G项中描述的这一请求。
5.B　细节句。根据设空处后面的逗号和“the more comfortable...”可将答案锁定在A、B两项,构成“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”这一句型。下文指出“你就会开始对这个国家的异域文化习俗感到越舒服”,B项“你在上述任何一个国家待的时间越长”符合语境。下文中的“its”对应B项中的“any given country”。

　　According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
　1　, if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living ”, you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to.　2　, it can bring in “I have this old, broken down vehicle”or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.
　3　 If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.　4　.
And what about that other dinner party killer: awkward silence If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).　5　. Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here ”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。作者主要介绍了杰西卡·哈吉的书中讲到的几种在人际交往中让自己有趣的小窍门。
1.B　主旨句。文章第一段提到让自己在宴会上有趣并不难。下文应该讲具体的方法是什么,B项中的“The first step”符合语篇逻辑结构。其次,本段第二句中的be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers与B选项中的go exploring对应,所以B项是正确的。
2.C　细节句。设空处前一句提到如果你能以一个不同的问题开启对话,那么你会跟对方有一个更有趣的交流。根据关键词question,将答案锁定在选项C。其次,设空处后的代词it应该指代设空处所说的问题,后面部分中提到的“vehicle”和“bus”指的是交通方式,和C选项中 “How did you get here ”相对应,结合上述两点可知选C。
3.F　主旨句。设空处后面为问号,所选的句子应该是疑问句,可锁定A项和F项。根据设空处后面两句可知本段主要讲的是如何应对某一部分参加聚会的人。原文“If you can't take their wine away...”中的wine对应F项中的drink一词,soapbox对应talking一词,可知要应对的是喝酒太多或话多的人。故选F项。
4.E　细节句。本段主旨是如何应对喝酒太多或话多的人。设空处前一句讲的是应对他的一种方式——将他支开(ask them to help you in the kitchen)。E项中的have little to say与第3空主旨句的won't stop talking相对应,由此可知设空处讲的是另一种应对的方法,所以可以确定E项是正确的。
5.G　过渡句。设空处前面讲到可以通过赞扬主人来化解沉默的尴尬,最后一句讲到“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”,这是一句赞扬主人的话。设空处所选句子处于两句中间,应该提到主人,G项中的He or she对应的是上文的the host,awkwardness对应的是本段第一句中的awkward silence,由此可知G项正确。

Swap, Don't Shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly good but you're maybe a little sick of them clothes piled on your bedroom floor 　1　. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do!Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection.　2　, and there may not be enough things to choose from;more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●　3　. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 　4　. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 　5　. And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A.Less people than that
B.Hold a clothing swap
C.If two people are competing
D.Just keep music playing throughout
E.Donate whatever clothes are left over
F.Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。作者主要描述了如何通过交换衣服,从而实现保护环境的目的。
1.B　细节句。设空处前一句提出问题,设空处应该做出回答,根据标题中的Swap及第一段中不断出现的关键词clothing,我们可以快速锁定B项,设空处后一句中的代词It指的是举办服饰交换聚会这件事。
2.A　细节句。根据设空处前句提到的“邀请5至10人”及设空处后面的there may not be enough things to choose from及more than that可知,“邀请5至10人”与A选项Less people than that相呼应,that指代5至10人这一信息,there may not be enough things to choose from则是Less people than that所产生的后果,与it becomes uncontrollable形成对比。
3.G　主旨句。设空处与上下段的首句句式保持一致,即应是祈使句。G选项中的everyone与设空处后句的主语They相对应。此外,设空处后句的also表明前后是并列关系,说明此空有与prepare相关的动作,这一点与选项G中的bring clean clothes in good condition相符。
4.F　细节句。设空处前句表示将不同类型的衣物放置在房间的不同面上,此处表示让前来交换衣物的朋友们将自己带来的衣物放置在正确的位置。前句中的Put...on different surfaces 对应了F选项中的put...in the right spots,surfaces和spots两者说的都是位置,前后句之间衔接十分紧密,顺承关系明显。
5.D　细节句。由空后的And可知,前后应该是并列关系,再结合句意“不要忘记准备好一些曲奇饼和水果”以及Remember, it's a party!可知此处是与party相关的内容,选项D“让音乐一直播放着”符合语境。

A Few Tips for Self Acceptance
We all want it...to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 　1　 Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
●　2　 Do not follow the people who make you feel not good enough. Why do you follow them Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 　3　 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心的) response “That didn't go as planned. But, I tried my best.”
●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 　4　
●Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 　5　 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are
A.Feeling upset again
B.Where do you start
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember, you are only human.
E.Set an intention for self acceptance.
F.Stop comparing yourself with others.
G.When does the comparison game start
答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。每个人都想接纳和爱自己,但有时候这并不是件易事,因此我们需要学习一些自我接纳的小技巧。本文就此给出了建议。
1.B　过渡句。由设空处前一句(但有时它似乎太困难,太遥不可及)及后一句(下面是一些可以让你找到正确的方向的方法)可知, B项“Where do you start (你从哪里开始呢 )”从问题过渡到下文解决问题的办法,符合逻辑。
2.F　主旨句。本段中“Do not follow the people who make you feel not good enough.”和“your life is better than theirs”对应F项的关键词comparing,故选F项(停止拿自己和别人比较)。
3.D　细节句。由本段第一句可知本段讲的是原谅自己所犯的错。由设空处后一句“You will make mistakes, time and time again.(你会反复犯错误)”可知D项(记住,你只是一个人)给出了原因。
4.C　细节句。本段第四句话中的“accomplishments and achievements”对应C项中的“celebrate”,设空处前一句中的“got out of bed today”对应C项中的“small”。因此C项(再小的事也值得庆祝)是最佳选项。
5.A　过渡句。由本段第一句中的“you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections”及后文可知,阅读有关strengths和achievements的日志时,感觉是awesome,而阅读imperfections的日志时感觉自然就是upset。故A项符合文意。

答案　
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章介绍了在工作场合使用表情符号的几个优点。
1.D　过渡句。these是对上一句中messaging platforms的指代,the popularity照应下一句中76 percent of employees...are using emojis at work。且空前讲的是亚洲地区的情况,空后说明了西方国家的现状,与globally照应。故D项是最佳选项。
2.A　细节句。上一句说使用表情符号可以增加幽默和感情,让意图清楚,设空处进一步讲述表情符号在交流中的功能。故选A项(使用表情符号的信息让人感觉更具有会话性)。
3.G　细节句。本段首句表明雇员的年龄范围从22到70及以上,找到一个共同的交流方式可能是个挑战。设空处具体解释应对挑战的方法。故选G项。
4.B　细节句。这一段阐明表情符号在语气中的作用。上一句为电子邮件如此令人烦恼,设空处衔接上文,甚至正式的电子邮件也会冰冷和不友好。故选B项。
5.F　主旨句。根据本段内容,尤其是后半句的that positive outcome可以推测此处为主旨句,表示“研究表明更为友好的交流有助于建立更快乐的工作氛围”。 因此,F项是最佳选项。

　　A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 　1　 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.
　2　 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn't a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.
　3　 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 　4　
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 　5　 Now most h
