合理推测下段内容
有些文章在最后一段的末尾会引出一个新话题，由此可以推测下一段可能会就这个问题展开叙述。话题的引出可能有很多方式，可能是陈述，可能是一个问句，也可能是以一句名言等各种形式，阅读时要注意分析。如本文最后引出要对流行病进行彻底和系统的医学研究，需要各个国家的共同努力。那么下一段作者可能会就如何合作这个话题进行写作。

内化读文技法
标注关键词，了解发展过程
本文是一篇科普文章，介绍了人类历史上六次有名的、后果严重的流行病。在介绍流行病的历史时采用了按照时间先后来安排说明顺序的方法。文中有明显的时间标志词，如One of the earliest epidemics on record about 500 and 550 CE→the Black Death in the 1330s→the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918→bird flu in 1997→the SARS epidemic in 2002→the Ebola Virus Disease from 2013 to 2016。在阅读时要注意标注时间标志词，以便更好地了解说明对象的发展过程。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．The common cold is a widespread virus that affects millions of people, but it is not seen as being a serious enough condition to deserve the classification of an epidemic.
赏析：句中使用了“deserve”，利用拟人的手法形象地描述了感冒，从侧面说明了流行病的特点。deserve 意为“应受，应得”。
2．With recent press reports drawing parallels between bird flu and killer epidemics of the past, Jim Smith looks at the sometimes depressing history of epidemics for clues about how we can create a more positive future without epidemics.
赏析：句中的“drawing parallels between ...and ...”在用词方面比compare高级，形象地描绘出两者之间的对比。
3．Centuries later, the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918, also called the Spanish Flu, struck near the end of World War Ⅰ.
赏析：句中使用动词strike准确地描写出西班牙流感的来势凶猛，为下文进一步说明作铺垫。strike还有其他含义，如“罢工；使打动；突然想到”等。
[仿写训练] (写出句中黑体部分的词性和含义)
①I was going to pay by cash when it struck me that I had left my purse at home.________________
②The lightning strike caused a tree to fall across the road.________________
③The baseball player made a powerful strike, hitting the ball out of the park._____________
(二)赏句式之高
1．They can be caused by several different factors, such as a virus being carried into an area, or changes in the way people live, like more people living in an area, which increases the chances of them coming into contact with a virus or bacteria.
赏析：being carried into an area是现在分词的被动式作后置定语，修饰virus；people live是省略关系词的定语从句，修饰way。which引导非限制性定语从句，其中them coming ...or bacteria是非谓语动词的复合结构作介词of的宾语。
2．Many people fear it could be the next global epidemic, especially as scientists who have gone into detail studying tissue samples from the bodies of people who died of the 1918 Spanish Flu have proved that bird flu is a modern adaptation of that virus.
赏析：fear后面是省略that的宾语从句，其中as引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候”。两个who都引导定语从句，第一个who引导的定语从句修饰先行词scientists，第二个who引导的定语从句修饰people。proved后面接that引导的宾语从句。
[仿写训练] (完成句子)
①A video such as __________________________ or a person _____________________ is often seen online, ______________________.
在网上经常可以看到一个视频，比如一个苹果被切片或者一个人独自跳舞，对此有些人觉得无聊。
②I fear ___________________， especially ________________________________________.
我害怕一些可怕的事情会发生，尤其是当我周围的患上这种病的一些人即将去世时。
(三)赏逻辑之顺
Despite, or perhaps because of, the epidemics the world has faced in recent years，governments worldwide have underlined the fact that they want thorough and systematic medical research on epidemics to get at the causes and come up with cures as soon as possible.Countries will need to work together to do this because teamwork among nations across the globe can save lives.
赏析：本段重点说明全世界要齐心协力抗击流行病。第一句用despite和because of引出尽管或因为流行病，全球的政府都在致力于尽快想出应对的方法。第二句用because进一步说明全世界要合作抗击流行病的原因。
[仿写训练] (补全语段)
①__________________________________， governments worldwide are trying to come up with some proper solutions.Countries should share good measures ②___________________________.
由于交通堵塞，世界各国政府正在努力想出一些适当的解决办法。各国应分享好的措施，因为国家之间的团队合作可以使世界变得更好。

Chris's latest race, Run North West's festive 10K in Cheshire, was his fourth race and he says, possibly their last, as the kid may be too heavy in spring.Besides, Chris had been a little worried if the weather would be too chilly for his daughter.“No matter how difficult it is, I want to get us both a festive New Year medal before it gets too cold，” he added.“We have four medals now and we have run 51KM in total.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Some days, you are just not feeling motivated (积极性高的)．You don't want to get out of bed.You don't want to communicate with others.You don't want to do anything. 8 .
Here are four things you can try to get motivated.
Get Curious About Your Feeling
Take a moment to really investigate your feeling.Does it change Or does it remain the same？ 9 .Watch it for a while.Notice what changes.This has actually been shown to be an effective strategy for dealing with unwanted emotions, helping you to become more aware of your own experience, and teaching you to be with it.
Get Up And Shake Your Body
Seriously, do it.You may even want to jump around a little bit, do some push-ups, and really get that blood flowing.When you sit at your desk for too long, you become stiff (僵硬的)． 10 .You may even want to take a quick walk around the neighborhood, with added benefits if you spend time in nature.
11
There is no one rule for getting you into action, because it always depends on you.Some people like to work in the morning, while others can only be productive late at night.If you find yourself stuck, think back to a time when you last felt motivated.Then ask yourself: how can you recreate this context (情境) to move you to action
Do Something Right Now
12 .Instead, we get started doing something, and then we feel motivated to continue doing that thing.For example, motivation to exercise is often the result of a few previous exercise.Action always matters first in your path to motivation.
A．Explore Your Own Feelings
B．Find Your Personal Sweet Spot
C．If everything else fails, just do something
D．We don't suddenly feel motivated to do certain things
E．Whether you want to or not, you will have to show up
F．Don't try to force it to change, and instead just let it be there
G．A quick and easy way to change this is by getting back in your body
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以让你获得动力的四件事。
8．选E 上文提到“你不想起床。你不想和别人交流。你什么都不想做”。下文则说“这里有四件事可以让你获得动力”。故E项“不管你愿不愿意，你都得去做”承上启下，符合语境。
9．选F 上文提到“花点时间研究一下你的感觉。它会改变吗？还是保持不变？”故F项“不要试图强迫它改变，而是让它保持原样”承接上文，符合语境。
10．选G 上文提到“当你在办公桌前坐得太久时，你会变得僵硬”，下文则说“你甚至可能想在附近快速散步，如果你花时间在大自然中，会有额外的好处”。故G项“一个快速而简单的改变方法是放松你的身体”承上启下，符合语境。
11．选B 此处考查段落小标题。根据本段的内容可知，此处主要讨论了每个人的最佳状态时间不同，要根据自己的情况找到自己最有动力的时候，故B项“找到你个人的最佳点”能概括本段主旨。
12．选D 下文提到“相反，我们开始做某事，然后我们感到有动力继续做这件事”，空处与下文构成转折关系。故D项“我们不会突然觉得有动力去做某些事情”衔接下文，符合语境。1 / 4

Chris, who says exercise is an important part of positive mental health, believes there should be no reason why people can't exercise because they have kids.

Some days, you are just not feeling motivated (积极性高的)．You don't want to get out of bed.You don't want to communicate with others.You don't want to do anything.__8__.
Here are four things you can try to get motivated.
Get Curious About Your Feeling
Take a moment to really investigate your feeling.Does it change Or does it remain the same？__9__.Watch it for a while.Notice what changes.This has actually been shown to be an effective strategy for dealing with unwanted emotions, helping you to become more aware of your own experience, and teaching you to be with it.
Get Up And Shake Your Body
Seriously, do it.You may even want to jump around a little bit, do some push ups, and really get that blood flowing.When you sit at your desk for too long, you become stiff (僵硬的)．__10__.You may even want to take a quick walk around the neighborhood, with added benefits if you spend time in nature.
__11__
There is no one rule for getting you into action, because it always depends on you.Some people like to work in the morning, while others can only be productive late at night.If you find yourself stuck, think back to a time when you last felt motivated.Then ask yourself: how can you recreate this context (情境) to move you to action
Do Something Right Now
__12__.Instead, we get started doing something, and then we feel motivated to continue doing that thing.For example, motivation to exercise is often the result of a few previous exercise.Action always matters first in your path to motivation.
A．Explore Your Own Feelings
B．Find Your Personal Sweet Spot
C．If everything else fails, just do something
D．We don't suddenly feel motivated to do certain things
E．Whether you want to or not, you will have to show up
F．Don't try to force it to change, and instead just let it be there
G．A quick and easy way to change this is by getting back in your body

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以让你获得动力的四件事。
8．选E 上文提到“你不想起床。你不想和别人交流。你什么都不想做”。下文则说“这里有四件事可以让你获得动力”。故E项“不管你愿不愿意，你都得去做”承上启下，符合语境。
9．选F 上文提到“花点时间研究一下你的感觉。它会改变吗？还是保持不变？”故F项“不要试图强迫它改变，而是让它保持原样”承接上文，符合语境。
