破解秘籍
七选五不是考“翻译”，而是考“逻辑”和“结构”不能把每个句子孤立地翻译出来然后凭感觉去选。而是像一个侦探一样，通过文章的逻辑线索（路标词）和结构特征（总分、并列、转折等）来还原作者的写作思路，从而找到缺失的部分。
四步解题法
第一步：速读全文，把握主旨
目标：忽略7个选项，快速通读全文（包括已给出的部分），抓住文章的大意和基本结构。明确文章在讲什么（主题）、文体（说明文、议论文还是记叙文）以及基本走向（开头引入、中间论述、结尾总结）。
技巧：重点读首段和每段的首尾句。这能帮你迅速搭建起文章的框架。
第二步：分析选项，预判内容
目标：仔细阅读A-G七个选项，并在每个选项旁边用中文简单标注它的核心意思和关键特征。
关键特征包括：
逻辑路标词：比如 however, therefore, for example, besides, on the other hand, in conclusion 等。这些是解题的“最强信号”。
代词：比如 this, that, these, those, it, such, he, she, they 等。空后如果出现代词，空前往往需要它所指代的内容。冠词：a/an 表示首次提到或泛指，the 表示特指前文提过的事物。
并列结构：如 first... second... / on one hand... on the other hand... / not only... but also... 等。选项可能是一个并列序列中的一环。
同义复现/关键词：选项中的名词、动词很可能与原文的某些词是同义替换或原词复现。
第三步：代入空格，前后夹击
目标：逐一看每个空格，空前看一句，空后看一句，寻找与选项匹配的线索。
寻找线索
转折/对比：空格前后意思相反？找 however, but, yet, unfortunately, instead, on the contrary, by contrast, rather than 等。
因果：空格前是因，后是果？找 therefore, thus, as a result, so, for this reason, because, since 等。
递进/并列：空格前后是顺承或并列关系？找 also, besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition, what's more, similarly, meanwhile, then 等。
举例：空格前是观点，后是例子？找 for example, for instance, such as, take... as an example, a case in point is that 等。
解释说明：空格后是对前面的具体解释？找 that is (to say), in other words, to put it simply, namely 等。
总结：空格位于段尾或文尾，是对上文的总结？找 in conclusion, to sum up, in a word, all in all, in short 等。
代词指代：空后的句子如果以代词（如 they, this, such, here）开头，那么空格里填入的内容必须能成为这个代词的指代对象。
原词复现与同义替换：空格前后出现的核心名词、动词，很可能在正确选项中以原词或同义词/近义词的形式再次出现。
结构一致性：观察空所在句子的句式。如果空前或空后是祈使句（如 “Try to...")，那么选项很可能也是祈使句开头。如果前后是对称的并列结构，选项也需保持结构一致。
位置特征
段首句：通常是主题句或承上启下的过渡句。
段中句：通常是支撑细节，如举例、递进、转折等。
段尾句：通常是小结句或引出下段的过渡句。
排除法：对于不确定的选项，用排除法。某个选项如果明显与文章主旨不符，或者放入后逻辑不通，即使它个别词能对上，也要果断排除。
第四步：通读复查，确保流畅
目标：将所有选好的答案代入原文，从头到尾快速通读一遍。
检查：检查文章是否意思连贯、逻辑通顺、结构清晰。这是最后一道保险，常常能发现之前因为孤立看题而犯的错误。
解题过程注意事项
先易后难：不要按顺序死磕。先把最有把握、线索最明显的空选出来。选掉一个选项，就少一个干扰项，后面的题目会越来越简单。
“路标词”是生命线：时刻对选项和原文中的逻辑词保持高度敏感，它们是解题的钥匙。
警惕“糖衣炮弹”：不要仅仅因为某个选项里的某个词在原文中出现过就盲目选择。要看整个句子的意思和逻辑是否匹配。这是最常见的干扰项设置方式。
答案代入后必须“承上启下”：一个正确的选项，必须能完美地连接起空格前和空格后的内容，使文意顺畅。
合理分配时间：建议整个七选五的解题时间控制在7-8分钟以内。

An Unsung Hero
Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning The College Cafe has just that, and more. _____36_____
Catherine Murphy, a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat, makes sure that each customer gets exactly what they order. She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. _____37_____ As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day ” Even when the line is getting longer, she doesn’t let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. _____38_____ “I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said. Being a mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is. She believes she is here to serve.
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious (有感染力) and can be the difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her. Joanna Wright, a senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. _____39_____ “Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.
“I enjoy working in the cafe,” Murphy said. _____40_____ She has every intention of staying and continuing doing what she loves.
A. The cafe closes at 9 pm every day.
B. She has two children aged eight and four.
C. Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early.
D. After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup.
E. Not only does this cafe serve up drinks, it also serves up smiles.
F. Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class.
G. She has served here for 17 years and can’t imagine working anywhere else.
第一步：速读全文，把握主旨
短文主要讲述College Cafe的工作人员Catherine Murphy的奉献精神和积极态度。她每天早早起床，准时上班，为学生提供咖啡和微笑，深受学生喜爱。文章突出她的服务意识和快乐工作的态度。
第二步：分析选项，预判内容
选项内容如下：
A. 咖啡馆每天晚上9点关门。（与主旨无关，可能多余）
B. 她有两个孩子，一个八岁，一个四岁。（虽提到她是母亲，但未具体涉及孩子年龄，可能多余）
C. 有时她早到以便早点为学生服务。（与她的早起和动机相关）
D. 完成订单后，她喊出杯上的名字。（与她的工作流程相关）
E. 这家咖啡馆不仅提供饮料，还提供微笑。（总结咖啡馆的特色）
F. 去咖啡馆让她的日子开始美好，并为上课做好准备。（从学生角度评价咖啡馆）
G. 她在这里工作了17年，无法想象在其他地方工作。（表达她对工作的热爱）
第三步：代入空格，前后夹击
36题：位于第一段末尾，前文问是否需要休息或提神，并说咖啡馆提供这些“and more”。选项E“不仅提供饮料，还提供微笑”恰好解释“more”的含义，并引出下文对Murphy的微笑的描述。因此选E。
37题：位于第二段中间，前文描述她制作饮料，后文写她微笑交付饮料。选项D“完成订单后，她喊出杯上的名字”连接了制作和交付过程，符合上下文。因此选D。
38题：位于第三段中间，前文写她早起和通勤，后文是她的解释“我喜欢为学生做咖啡”。选项C“有时她早到以便早点为学生服务”解释了她的行为动机，与后文呼应。因此选C。
39题：位于第四段中间，前文介绍学生Joanna Wright经常去咖啡馆，后文是Wright对Murphy微笑的评价。选项F“去咖啡馆让她的日子开始美好，并为上课做好准备”从学生角度表达咖啡馆的积极影响，与后文情绪衔接。因此选F。
40题：位于最后一段开头，前文是Murphy说享受工作，后文写她打算留下来。选项G“她在这里工作了17年，无法想象在其他地方工作”直接支持她热爱工作的态度，与后文连贯。因此选G。
剩余选项A和B与上下文无关，是多余选项。
第四步：通读复查，确保流畅
代入选项后，全文流畅自然：
第一段以E结尾，过渡到第二段对Murphy工作的描述。
第二段D选项完善工作细节。
第三段C选项解释她的早起原因。
第四段F选项从学生视角补充。
最后一段G选项强化主题。

（2025·北京·高考真题）What is adulthood Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. 1
But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. 2 If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. 3 You’re self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are within all this.
So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. 4 We are a social species, so this is important.
While raising an adult is a parent’s job, it’s also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development. 5
A．It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles.
B．They talk about someone’s inability to support themselves through work.
C．It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others.
D．In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you.
E．They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity.
F．You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music.
G．When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity.
【答案】1．G 2．E 3．D 4．C 5．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章主要探讨了成年人的定义及其所需具备的特质，并强调了社会在培养成年人方面的责任。

Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. (正如Alice Black所指出的，如今父母害怕让孩子做更多家务，这加剧了孩子们无法感受到自身的能力，进而也导致他们对自己缺乏自信。心理学家Robert Turner在他的著作《生命周期》中提到了这一点，他提到了孩子们学习自我指导和掌握技能的阶段。)”可知，本空应强调这个阶段的重要性或缺失这个阶段会带来什么影响。G选项“When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity. (当这个阶段被剥夺时，就会产生一种不安全感。)”符合题意，承接上文，说明了这个阶段被剥夺的后果。故选G。

(如果这些生命周期被延迟、中断或拒绝，你会觉得自己无法进入自我状态，无法控制不愉快的情绪，也无法操控构成你内心世界结构的能量。)”可知，本空应解释它们的重要性体现在哪里。E选项“They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity. (它们教授情感意识和管理以及身份认同。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选E。
3．由上文“Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. (Turner明智地指出，从心理上讲，“做得好”就是能够顺应情绪的流动，管理它们，与他人清晰而良好地沟通，并掌握各种技能。这需要一个内部的控制点，这意味着对自己的思想、情感和行动进行自我控制。)”可知，本空应进一步解释这种内部控制点或自我控制的意义。D选项“In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you. (换句话说，你是在玩人生的游戏——而不是人生在玩你。)”能承接上文，符合题意，用比喻的方式解释了内部控制点的意义，即你能够掌控自己的人生，而不是被人生所掌控。故选D。
4．由上文“So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. (所以，成为一个成年人不仅仅是拥有一份工作。成为一个成年人意味着拥有一种根深蒂固的自我意识，同时能够识别和管理自己的情绪和行动。)”可知，本空应进一步描述成年人的其他特质或能力。C选项“It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others. (它是在与他人交流时能够表现出理解。)”能承接上文，符合题意，补充了成年人在与他人交流时应具备的能力，即表现出理解。故选C。

(虽然培养一个成年人是父母的工作，但作为社会，我们也有责任确保我们支持那些培养情感和身份发展的学校。)”可知，本空应进一步描述社会在培养成年人方面的其他责任。A选项“It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles. (支持那些需要帮助修复不完整生命周期的成年人也是我们的工作。)”能承接上文，符合题意，补充了社会在培养成年人方面的另一项责任，即支持那些需要帮助修复不完整生命周期的成年人。故选A。

（2025·浙江·高考真题）One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. 11 There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill.
Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively.
Keep your audience in mind.
Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 12 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information.
Don’t use ten words when one will do.
Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 13 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple.
14
If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills.
Consider the best method to deliver your message.
If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 15
Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.
A．Be patient.
B．Get the audience involved.
C．The best messages are often simple.
D．Speak directly to what matters to them.
E．You may be surprised by what your listeners offer.
F．It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.
G．As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.
【答案】11．C 12．D 13．G 14．B 15．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些更有效地进行沟通的技巧。
11．上文“One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.(沟通中最常见的错误之一就是试图做得太多)”指出“做得太多”是沟通中易犯的错误，C选项“The best messages are often simple.(最好的信息往往是简单的)”承接上文，明确正确沟通方法，即不要“做得太多”，要避免复杂，追求简单，句中“simple”与上文“too much”形成对比。故选C项。
12．上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.(当你根据受众的兴趣来调整你的沟通内容时，他们自然会更感兴趣、更投入)”强调要迎合受众兴趣，D选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.(直接谈论对他们重要的事情)”进一步说明了具体做法，即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流，与上文逻辑一致。故选D项。
13．下文“However, they’re hearing it for the first time.(然而，他们是第一次听到这些)”与设空句之间是转折关系。G选项“As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.(作为演讲者，你已经知道你要说什么了)”与下文构成转折，演讲者自己熟悉内容，但听众是初次接触，同时，句中“what you’re going to say”与下文中指示代词“it”构成指代关系，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。
14．下文“If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.(如果你曾经当过导师、经理、培训师或教练，你就会知道，没有比教别人更好的学习新信息的方法了。让听众贡献他们的想法，或者让他们扮演向他人解释新概念和政策的角色)”建议让受众参与其中，B选项“Get the audience involved.(让受众参与进来)”能概括这部分内容，适合作段首小标题。故选B项。
15．上文“If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.(如果你传达的信息不紧急，考虑发电子邮件。书面沟通会给你的受众更多时间来复习、思考，并跟进提问)”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处，F选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.(它还会给他们提供一个方便查阅的记录)”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处，与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。

（2024·新课标Ⅱ卷·高考真题）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. 16 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. 17
●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. 18 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 19 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. 20 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.
【答案】16．B 17．C 18．E 19．A 20．G
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何避免“过度旅游”的现象。
16．前文“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.(旅游促进理解，扩展我们的思想，使我们成为更好的人，促进当地经济和社区，但旅游业的快速发展导致了某些地区和目的地的过度旅游)”表明旅游带来了一些问题，后文“The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world.(在当今世界，失去旅行所能提供的东西将是不可接受的)”表示不能失去旅行，结合后文“Certainly not.(当然不)”可知，空处提问能否停止旅行，B选项“那么，我们应该停止旅行吗？”符合语境。故选B。
17．前文“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.(游客过多的目的地是有原因的：它们很特别。网上有这么多关于同一个地方的帖子，很容易让你觉得你错过了。只有当风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时，才去某个地方)”表明不要跟风旅游，C选项“为你而不是其他人旅行”表明要关注自己在旅行时的感受，忠实自己的感受，不用管其余的建议，符合语境。故选C。
18．前文“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.(这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择)及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights ( 为什么不尝试一个地区性的选择，或者看看一个热门目的地不太为人所知的景点呢)”提出建议，可以选择一些冷门的景点，E选项“你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方”符合语境。故选E。
19．空处为小标题，根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期，选择合适的时间，A选项“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
20．前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力，从一开始就保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点，后文“You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受，G选项“考虑回馈你所访问的社区”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

（2025·浙江·一模）How to Develop Effective Reading Habits
Reading is a fundamental skill that enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. However, many people struggle to maintain consistent reading habits. With the right strategies, anyone can become a regular reader and enjoy the benefits it brings.
21 . Before you start, think about what you want to gain from reading. Do you want to learn new skills, explore different cultures, or simply relax Your goals will help you choose the right books and stay motivated. For example, if you aim to improve your vocabulary, you might focus on literary classics or non-fiction works with rich language.
Create a reading schedule that fits your daily routine. 22 . It could be 20 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes during your lunch break, or half an hour before bed. Consistency is more important than the amount of time you spend reading each day. Set a reminder on your phone or mark your reading time on a calendar to help you stick to the schedule.
Choose the right reading environment. 23 . Some people prefer quiet places like libraries or their home study, while others enjoy reading in cafes with soft background music. Make sure your reading space is comfortable — have a good chair, proper lighting, and keep distractions like phones or TVs to a minimum.
Take notes while reading to enhance comprehension. 24 . Write down key ideas, unfamiliar words, or questions that come to mind. You can use a notebook, sticky notes, or digital tools like e-readers with note-taking features. Reviewing your notes later will help you remember what you’ve read.
Finally, celebrate your progress. 25 . Whether you finish a book, reach a reading goal, or discover a new favorite author, take time to acknowledge your achievement. Reward yourself with a trip to a bookstore, a new bookmark, or simply the satisfaction of knowing you’re building a valuable habit.
A．Set clear reading goals
B．This makes reading more interactive and social
C．Everyone has different preferences for where they read best
D．Reading in short, regular sessions is more effective than long, occasional ones
E．Keeping track of your reading journey can motivate you to keep going
F．Not every book will resonate with you, and that’s perfectly normal

（2025·河北秦皇岛·模拟预测）Navigation (导航) skills are what you use to know how to get from one destination to another. Even with modern tools like BDS, it’s still useful to have basic navigation skills. 26 . If you master these skills, you’ll be able to navigate your way with confidence. Here’s how to get started.
27 , such as the way to the park you often visit. With an adult, take a slightly different path to get there. Pay attention to visual signs along the way. Without digital tools, use the clues to find your way back to your starting point.
In an adult’s company, you can step out in your local neighborhood or town to look for the landmarks. 28 . When you see hills in the distance or a tall building, ask a trusted adult if the landmark is to the north, south, east, or west of where you’re standing. Practice identifying landmarks on your own when visiting new towns and cities.
Many cities have streets arranged in a grid (网格) layout. Take American cities — Chicago, Denver, Miami — for example. 29 . Notice how the streets in the layout may be named according to a theme, like numbers or the name of US presidents. Suburban streets may also have a pattern, like being named for US states.
Another way to boost your navigation skills is to use creative stories to know where you are. To remember a crossing like the place where Prince Street and Elizabeth Street cross, you might remember it this way: “A prince met Elizabeth.” You can also connect details to street names; for example, Main Street is where the main stores in town are or Lakeside Drive is by the water. 30 .
A．You can rely on your cellphone for directions
B．After all, you won’t always have a digital map
C．Start building navigation skills with a familiar route
D．Memorize the street names in your city before starting

（2025·浙江宁波·一模）Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips. Whether you’ re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well- maintained herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation. 31 By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for seasons to come.
32 The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. 33 If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.
Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. 34 If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures.
Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. 35 This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot.
With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.
A．However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well.
B．Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma.
C．But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques.
D．Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches.
E．Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to grow.
F．Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth.
G．Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding.

（2025·浙江温州·模拟预测）The discourse on universal values, which has unfolded across millennia, carries a history marked by intricate twists and unresolved tensions. While ancient ethical frameworks, emerging from both Chinese and Greek intellectual traditions, envisioned a unified system of moral principles, such visions remained confined within regional boundaries that stifled their global resonance. 36 It was not until the Enlightenment that thinkers, drawing upon rationalist philosophies, crystallized concepts of rights around the twin pillars of liberty and equality, embedding these ideals in revolutionary charters that would later shape modern political systems. 37 This inherent contradiction — between universal aspirations and cultural particularism — intensified throughout the 20th century. Even as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) emerged as a symbol of global consensus, 38 The Vienna Declaration, crafted in response to this ideological impasse, sought a middle ground by acknowledging the legitimacy of cultural distinctiveness within the broader framework of universal norms. Contemporary debates, which continue to reverberate in academic and political spheres, reflect this enduring dialectic between unity and diversity. 39 Amidst these debates, philosopher Kwame Appiah’s concept of “contamination” offers a compelling path forward: 40
A．Globalization, which dismantled geographical barriers and facilitated cross-cultural exchange, later exposed the limitations of these parochial visions that had once seemed self-sufficient.
B．It suggests that authentic universality, far from arising from enforced uniformity, emerges through the organic hybridization of disparate value systems that engage in dialogue rather than confrontation.
C．The 1993 Vienna Declaration, contrary to its intended purpose, marked a regression by prioritizing cultural diversity at the expense of fundamental human rights.
D．The institutionalization of rights through the UDHR, rather than resolving conflicts, unexpectedly perpetuated longstanding ideological disagreements that divided global communities.
E．Enlightenment ideals thus bore a dual legacy: they held emancipatory potential to liberate individuals from oppressive structures, yet they also carried the imprint of Eurocentric hegemony that sidelined alternative worldviews.
F．Critics have rightly asserted that current universal norms, despite their claims to inclusivity, remain disproportionately shaped by Western paradigms that reflect the historical dominance of European powers.
G．Cold War politics, which fractured the post-war global order, shattered this fragile unity by reducing rights to ideological pawns — either political liberties championed by the West or socioeconomic entitlements advocated by socialist states.
【答案】36．A 37．E 38．G 39．F 40．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了普世价值的历史发展及其存在的矛盾，从古代伦理框架到启蒙运动，再到20世纪及当代的相关争议，还提及了哲学家Kwame Appiah的“相互混杂”概念为解决这一矛盾提供的思路。
36．根据上文“While ancient ethical frameworks, emerging from both Chinese and Greek intellectual traditions, envisioned a unified system of moral principles, such visions remained confined within regional boundaries that stifled their global resonance. (虽然源自中国和希腊思想传统的古代伦理框架设想了一个统一的道德原则体系，但这些愿景仍局限于区域范围内，扼杀了它们的全球共鸣。)”可知，此空应说明后来的发展暴露了这些局限。A选项“Globalization, which dismantled geographical barriers and facilitated cross-cultural exchange, later exposed the limitations of these parochial visions that had once seemed self-sufficient. (全球化打破了地理障碍，促进了跨文化交流，后来暴露了这些曾经看似自给自足的狭隘愿景的局限性。)”中的“exposed the limitations of these parochial visions”(暴露了这些狭隘愿景的局限性)承接上文古代伦理框架的区域局限性，符合语境。故选A项。
37．根据上文“It was not until the Enlightenment that thinkers, drawing upon rationalist philosophies, crystallized concepts of rights around the twin pillars of liberty and equality, embedding these ideals in revolutionary charters that would later shape modern political systems. (直到启蒙运动时期，思想家们才借鉴理性主义哲学，围绕自由和平等这两大支柱明确了权利概念，并将这些理想融入革命宪章，后来这些宪章塑造了现代政治制度。)”可知，此空应说明启蒙运动理想的双重性。E选项“Enlightenment ideals thus bore a dual legacy: they held emancipatory potential to liberate individuals from oppressive structures, yet they also carried the imprint of Eurocentric hegemony that sidelined alternative worldviews. (因此，启蒙运动的理想留下了双重遗产：它们具有将个人从压迫性结构中解放出来的解放潜力，但也带有欧洲中心主义霸权的印记，使其他世界观被边缘化。)”中的“dual legacy(双重遗产)”概括了启蒙运动理想的两面性，与上文内容衔接紧密，符合语境。故选E项。
38．根据上文“This inherent contradiction — between universal aspirations and cultural particularism — intensified throughout the 20th century. Even as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) emerged as a symbol of global consensus, (这种普世愿望与文化特殊主义之间的内在矛盾在整个20世纪愈演愈烈。尽管《世界人权宣言》(UDHR)成为全球共识的象征，)”可知，此空应说明这种共识被打破的情况。G选项“Cold War politics, which fractured the post-war global order, shattered this fragile unity by reducing rights to ideological pawns — either political liberties championed by the West or socioeconomic entitlements advocated by socialist states. (冷战政治打破了战后的全球秩序，将权利简化为意识形态的棋子——要么是西方倡导的政治自由，要么是社会主义国家主张的社会经济权利——从而粉碎了这种脆弱的统一。)”中的“shattered this fragile unity(粉碎了这种脆弱的统一)”承接上文，解释了矛盾加剧的原因，符合语境。故选G项。
39．根据上文“Contemporary debates, which continue to reverberate in academic and political spheres, reflect this enduring dialectic between unity and diversity. (当代的争论在学术和政治领域继续回响，反映了这种持久的统一与多样性之间的辩证关系。)”可知，此空应说明当代争论中对普世规范的批评。F选项“Critics have rightly asserted that current universal norms, despite their claims to inclusivity, remain disproportionately shaped by Western paradigms that reflect the historical dominance of European powers. (批评者正确地断言，当前的普世规范尽管声称具有包容性，但仍不成比例地受到西方范式的影响，这些范式反映了欧洲列强的历史主导地位。)”中的“Critics(批评者)”体现了当代争论，“shaped by Western paradigms(受西方范式影响)”反映了统一与多样性的矛盾，符合语境。故选F项。
40．根据上文“Amidst these debates, philosopher Kwame Appiah’s concept of “contamination” offers a compelling path forward: (在这些争论中，哲学家Kwame Appiah的“融合”概念提供了一条令人信服的前进道路：)”可知，此空应解释这一概念的具体内容。B选项“It suggests that authentic universality, far from arising from enforced uniformity, emerges through the organic hybridization of disparate value systems that engage in dialogue rather than confrontation. (它表明，真正的普遍性并非源于强制的统一性，而是通过不同价值体系的有机融合而产生的，这些价值体系进行对话而非对抗。)”中的“It”指代“contamination”概念，具体解释了这一概念如何解决统一与多样性的矛盾，符合语境。故选B项。阅读理解之七选五

技能升华训练
破解秘籍
七选五不是考“翻译”，而是考“逻辑”和“结构”不能把每个句子孤立地翻译出来然后凭感觉去选。而是像一个侦探一样，通过文章的逻辑线索（路标词）和结构特征（总分、并列、转折等）来还原作者的写作思路，从而找到缺失的部分。
四步解题法
第一步：速读全文，把握主旨
目标：忽略7个选项，快速通读全文（包括已给出的部分），抓住文章的大意和基本结构。明确文章在讲什么（主题）、文体（说明文、议论文还是记叙文）以及基本走向（开头引入、中间论述、结尾总结）。
技巧：重点读首段和每段的首尾句。这能帮你迅速搭建起文章的框架。
第二步：分析选项，预判内容
目标：仔细阅读A-G七个选项，并在每个选项旁边用中文简单标注它的核心意思和关键特征。
关键特征包括：
逻辑路标词：比如 however, therefore, for example, besides, on the other hand, in conclusion 等。这些是解题的“最强信号”。
代词：比如 this, that, these, those, it, such, he, she, they 等。空后如果出现代词，空前往往需要它所指代的内容。冠词：a/an 表示首次提到或泛指，the 表示特指前文提过的事物。
并列结构：如 first... second... / on one hand... on the other hand... / not only... but also... 等。选项可能是一个并列序列中的一环。
同义复现/关键词：选项中的名词、动词很可能与原文的某些词是同义替换或原词复现。
第三步：代入空格，前后夹击
目标：逐一看每个空格，空前看一句，空后看一句，寻找与选项匹配的线索。
寻找线索
转折/对比：空格前后意思相反？找 however, but, yet, unfortunately, instead, on the contrary, by contrast, rather than 等。
因果：空格前是因，后是果？找 therefore, thus, as a result, so, for this reason, because, since 等。
递进/并列：空格前后是顺承或并列关系？找 also, besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition, what's more, similarly, meanwhile, then 等。
举例：空格前是观点，后是例子？找 for example, for instance, such as, take... as an example, a case in point is that 等。
解释说明：空格后是对前面的具体解释？找 that is (to say), in other words, to put it simply, namely 等。
总结：空格位于段尾或文尾，是对上文的总结？找 in conclusion, to sum up, in a word, all in all, in short 等。
代词指代：空后的句子如果以代词（如 they, this, such, here）开头，那么空格里填入的内容必须能成为这个代词的指代对象。
原词复现与同义替换：空格前后出现的核心名词、动词，很可能在正确选项中以原词或同义词/近义词的形式再次出现。
结构一致性：观察空所在句子的句式。如果空前或空后是祈使句（如 “Try to...")，那么选项很可能也是祈使句开头。如果前后是对称的并列结构，选项也需保持结构一致。
位置特征
段首句：通常是主题句或承上启下的过渡句。
段中句：通常是支撑细节，如举例、递进、转折等。
段尾句：通常是小结句或引出下段的过渡句。
排除法：对于不确定的选项，用排除法。某个选项如果明显与文章主旨不符，或者放入后逻辑不通，即使它个别词能对上，也要果断排除。
第四步：通读复查，确保流畅
目标：将所有选好的答案代入原文，从头到尾快速通读一遍。
检查：检查文章是否意思连贯、逻辑通顺、结构清晰。这是最后一道保险，常常能发现之前因为孤立看题而犯的错误。
解题过程注意事项
先易后难：不要按顺序死磕。先把最有把握、线索最明显的空选出来。选掉一个选项，就少一个干扰项，后面的题目会越来越简单。
“路标词”是生命线：时刻对选项和原文中的逻辑词保持高度敏感，它们是解题的钥匙。
警惕“糖衣炮弹”：不要仅仅因为某个选项里的某个词在原文中出现过就盲目选择。要看整个句子的意思和逻辑是否匹配。这是最常见的干扰项设置方式。
答案代入后必须“承上启下”：一个正确的选项，必须能完美地连接起空格前和空格后的内容，使文意顺畅。
合理分配时间：建议整个七选五的解题时间控制在7-8分钟以内。

G. 她在这里工作了17年，无法想象在其他地方工作。（表达她对工作的热爱）
第三步：代入空格，前后夹击
36题：位于第一段末尾，前文问是否需要休息或提神，并说咖啡馆提供这些“and more”。选项E“不仅提供饮料，还提供微笑”恰好解释“more”的含义，并引出下文对Murphy的微笑的描述。因此选E。
37题：位于第二段中间，前文描述她制作饮料，后文写她微笑交付饮料。选项D“完成订单后，她喊出杯上的名字”连接了制作和交付过程，符合上下文。因此选D。
38题：位于第三段中间，前文写她早起和通勤，后文是她的解释“我喜欢为学生做咖啡”。选项C“有时她早到以便早点为学生服务”解释了她的行为动机，与后文呼应。因此选C。

（2025·北京·高考真题）What is adulthood Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. 1
But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. 2 If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills.

（2025·浙江·高考真题）One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. 11 There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill.
Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively.
Keep your audience in mind.
Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 12 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information.
Don’t use ten words when one will do.
Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 13 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple.
14
If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills.
Consider the best method to deliver your message.
If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 15
Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.
A．Be patient.
B．Get the audience involved.
C．The best messages are often simple.

（2024·新课标Ⅱ卷·高考真题）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. 16 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. 17
●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. 18 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 19 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. 20 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.

Reading is a fundamental skill that enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. However, many people struggle to maintain consistent reading habits. With the right strategies, anyone can become a regular reader and enjoy the benefits it brings.
21 . Before you start, think about what you want to gain from reading. Do you want to learn new skills, explore different cultures, or simply relax Your goals will help you choose the right books and stay motivated. For example, if you aim to improve your vocabulary, you might focus on literary classics or non-fiction works with rich language.
Create a reading schedule that fits your daily routine. 22 . It could be 20 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes during your lunch break, or half an hour before bed. Consistency is more important than the amount of time you spend reading each day. Set a reminder on your phone or mark your reading time on a calendar to help you stick to the schedule.

（2025·河北秦皇岛·模拟预测）Navigation (导航) skills are what you use to know how to get from one destination to another. Even with modern tools like BDS, it’s still useful to have basic navigation skills. 26 . If you master these skills, you’ll be able to navigate your way with confidence. Here’s how to get started.
27 , such as the way to the park you often visit. With an adult, take a slightly different path to get there. Pay attention to visual signs along the way. Without digital tools, use the clues to find your way back to your starting point.
In an adult’s company, you can step out in your local neighborhood or town to look for the landmarks. 28 . When you see hills in the distance or a tall building, ask a trusted adult if the landmark is to the north, south, east, or west of where you’re standing. Practice identifying landmarks on your own when visiting new towns and cities.
Many cities have streets arranged in a grid (网格) layout. Take American cities — Chicago, Denver, Miami — for example. 29 . Notice how the streets in the layout may be named according to a theme, like numbers or the name of US presidents. Suburban streets may also have a pattern, like being named for US states.
Another way to boost your navigation skills is to use creative stories to know where you are. To remember a crossing like the place where Prince Street and Elizabeth Street cross, you might remember it this way: “A prince met Elizabeth.” You can also connect details to street names; for example, Main Street is where the main stores in town are or Lakeside Drive is by the water. 30 .
A．You can rely on your cellphone for directions
B．After all, you won’t always have a digital map
C．Start building navigation skills with a familiar route
D．Memorize the street names in your city before starting

（2025·浙江宁波·一模）Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips. Whether you’ re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well- maintained herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation. 31 By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for seasons to come.
32 The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. 33 If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.
Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. 34 If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures.
Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. 35 This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot.
With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.
A．However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well.
B．Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma.
C．But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques.
D．Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches.
E．Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to grow.
F．Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth.
G．Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding.

（2025·浙江温州·模拟预测）The discourse on universal values, which has unfolded across millennia, carries a history marked by intricate twists and unresolved tensions. While ancient ethical frameworks, emerging from both Chinese and Greek intellectual traditions, envisioned a unified system of moral principles, such visions remained confined within regional boundaries that stifled their global resonance. 36 It was not until the Enlightenment that thinkers, drawing upon rationalist philosophies, crystallized concepts of rights around the twin pillars of liberty and equality, embedding these ideals in revolutionary charters that would later shape modern political systems. 37 This inherent contradiction — between universal aspirations and cultural particularism — intensified throughout the 20th century. Even as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) emerged as a symbol of global consensus, 38 The Vienna Declaration, crafted in response to this ideological impasse, sought a middle ground by acknowledging the legitimacy of cultural distinctiveness within the broader framework of universal norms. Contemporary debates, which continue to reverberate in academic and political spheres, reflect this enduring dialectic between unity and diversity. 39 Amidst these debates, philosopher Kwame Appiah’s concept of “contamination” offers a compelling path forward: 40
A．Globalization, which dismantled geographical barriers and facilitated cross-cultural exchange, later exposed the limitations of these parochial visions that had once seemed self-sufficient.
B．It suggests that authentic universality, far from arising from enforced uniformity, emerges through the organic hybridization of disparate value systems that engage in dialogue rather than confrontation.
C．The 1993 Vienna Declaration, contrary to its intended purpose, marked a regression by prioritizing cultural diversity at the expense of fundamental human rights.
D．The institutionalization of rights through the UDHR, rather than resolving conflicts, unexpectedly perpetuated longstanding ideological disagreements that divided global communities.
E．Enlightenment ideals thus bore a dual legacy: they held emancipatory potential to liberate individuals from oppressive structures, yet they also carried the imprint of Eurocentric hegemony that sidelined alternative worldviews.
F．Critics have rightly asserted that current universal norms, despite their claims to inclusivity, remain disproportionately shaped by Western paradigms that reflect the historical dominance of European powers.
G．Cold War politics, which fractured the post-war global order, shattered this fragile unity by reducing rights to ideological pawns — either political liberties championed by the West or socioeconomic entitlements advocated by socialist states.
