The shuttlecock（羽毛球），also known as a birdie, crucial in badminton, as it determines the speed, path, and overall play. 1._________ However, we'll focus here only on the making of the feathered（有羽毛的）shuttlecock, rather than the plastic or mixed-material one, and the science behind its design.
The feathered shuttlecock consists of two parts: a cork(软木) base and a skirt of feathers. The base is typically made of strong cork, providing weight and balance. 2.__________ Meanwhile, the bottom is round and soft to absorb the impact when players hit the shuttlecock. Sometimes, we can encounter a base with two parts. The tip is usually soft and made of cork, while the rest is harder and may consist of hardwood.
After the base passes inspection, a machine creates sixteen holes on the flat top for the feathers sourced from geese or ducks for their strength and flexibility. Only feathers from the same wing are used to ensure consistent shape, size and movement direction. 3.___________Then the feathers are shaped, arranged in a circular pattern, and attached to the cork base, partially overlapping and secured with glue.
4.___________ Inspectors check feathers for irregularities and conduct flight and speed tests. The drop test observes flight from a certain height, while the durability test checks strength through repeated hits. Only shuttlecocks passing these tests are approved for sale.

[2024 新课标Ⅱ卷] Over tourism 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 over tourism 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. Over visited 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 over tourism 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

2025 吉林长春质量监测] Misinformation and other attempts at misleading the public are common on social media. 1.__________
Never share a post without fact checking.
This is especially true if it comes from a source you trust. If you want to spread the truth, you need to assume that other people aren't perfect and may make mistakes. 2._________
Look for the sources.
Mainstream news is as good as the sources it relies on. Anonymous(匿名的) sources, or stories coming from only a single source are more suspect than stories with multiple sources of confirmation. 3.__________
Many important leaks and stories have come from single anonymous sources.
Consider the story’s agenda.
Stories are colored by the agendas of their writers. News organizations typically operate for money, and part of their brand( and thus their profits) lies in their accuracy. However, many news groups tailor their content to particular sections of customers, and thus are more likely to cover stories with a particular perspective. 4.____________ Consequently, the stories are turned into preference with the preconceptions of their target audience.
5.____________Injustices are things that make any ethical person upset or angry. A story that promotes emotion is not automatically false just because it arouses strong feelings. Unfortunately, cheaters know the power of emotion and use that tool in their work. Therefore, fact check before you share.
A. Don't view stories with caution.
B. This can weaken their accuracy.
C. It doesn't mean that they are false.
D. In this way, you will be more cautious.
E. Don't discount stories that play to emotions.
F. The following tips may help you surf the Internet safely.
G. Here are some steps to take to separate yourself from misinformation.

[2025 江苏南京六校联合调研] We all need to give and receive feedback for our work, which sometimes can be tricky. In fact, Confucius, way back in 551 BC, talked about the importance of expressing difficult messages well. However, a recent survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is effective and useful for their work. Either the feedback is so indirect and soft that the brain doesn't even recognize it or it's just too direct that it makes the other person unhappy and defensive. 1.__________
Ask micro-yes questions.
Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important. For instance, you can ask "Do you have five minutes for a brief discussion "2.__________First, it lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given. Second, it offers some space for the other to refuse.
Avoid blurred(模糊不清的) words.
3.___________ To change this, try to say "You said you'd get that e-mail to me by 11 a. m, and I still don't have it yet at 4 p. m."instead of "You aren't reliable."The reason for that is that you want to specify exactly what you want the other person to do.
State the impact.
4.____________ For example, you might say, "Because I didn't get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn't move forward"or "I really liked how you added those stories, because it helped me grasp the concepts faster."It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points.
Wrap the feedback with a question.
Great feedback givers tend to ask something like, "Well, how do you see it "or "This is what I'm thinking, but what are your thoughts on it "5.________Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation.
Now that you know this approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.
A. This can do two things for you.
B. This makes your feedback effective.
C. Make the conversation no longer a monologue(独白).
D. Name exactly how the other person has influenced you.
E. The following four methods can be employed to make your feedback direct.
F. There's a mistaken tendency that we use vague, or not specific words for feedback.
G. Here comes a four-part approach that you can adopt to say any difficult message well.

2._________ The librarian was not confident that the new technology would last. So, as kids, we kept one foot planted in each world, learning the digital landscape while also physically exploring libraries.
Throughout educational history, new tools have been accepted, rejected, or ignored. Digital card catalogues(目录) are an example of tools that facilitate learning, leading many schools to adopt a generally friendly attitude toward new technologies. 3.___________ Some tools negatively affect our learning, the most recent example being ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that can respond to the questions one asks, drawing on stores of information and its interactions with other users. Where ChatGPT impacts education is in completing tasks assigned to students. Students can quit thinking — allowing ChatGPT to digest difficult readings on their behalf. 4._________
But learning to write is learning to think. Thinking is something we need to grow and progress as human beings. 5.__________ ChatGPT and related technologies destroy this important task. I recommend that students resist employing them in the context of reading and writing if they wish to be transformed by their earning.
A. Sure, AI can do these tasks for us.
B. Education is meant to shape a person.
C. But not all tools are equally constructive.

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.

They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. 4.___________
Which plants can you grow

[2025 浙江新阵地教育联盟联考] Human activities have made global rainfall more unstable over the past century, a new study suggests. 1.___________ Published Friday in the journal Science, it shows that rainfall variability has increased since the 20th century, ranging from global to regional scales and from daily to intraseasonal timescales.
Rainfall variability refers to the unevenness of rainfall timing and rainfall amount. 2.__________ For example, some places may receive a year's rainfall in just a few days, experience downpours after long dry periods, or alternate rapidly between droughts and floods.
By analyzing a wide range of observational data, the researchers found that rainfall variability has increased since the 20th century in about 75% of the land areas studied, especially in Europe, Australia and eastern North America. 3.____________
4.________They identified the dominant role of anthropogenic(人为的) emissions of greenhouse gases.
“The increase in rainfall variability is mainly due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which have led to a warmer and more humid atmosphere,” said Wenxia Zhang, lead author of the study. This means that even if the atmospheric circulation remains unchanged, the extra moisture in the air will lead to more intense rain events.
Large and rapid fluctuations (波动) between extreme climates not only challenge the existing capabilities of contemporary weather and climate prediction systems, but also have chain effects on human society, threatening the economic development, ecosystem functions and terrestrial (陆地的) carbon sinks. 5.____________
A. Immediate adaptation measures are crucial to meet these challenges.
B. Higher variability may bring more rain in a certain region.
C. The study was conducted by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
D. To understand the causes of increased rainfall variability, the team furthered the research.
E. Higher variability means that rainfall is more unevenly distributed over a period of time, leading to wet and dry periods.
F. It was also found that daily variability in global rainfall has increased by 1.2% per decade.
G. The study indicates that global rainfall will still increase in the next century.

Spending time in nature simply means being outside in natural surroundings like parks, forests, gardens, or even your backyard. Nature includes everything from trees, plants, rivers, and lakes to beaches, mountains, and wildlife. 1.___________ Here's how nature has such a powerful effect.
Stress is a common part of life, but spending time in nature can help relieve it. 2.__________ You might notice the sound of birds singing, the feel of a breeze on your skin, or the sight of green trees and blue skies. These natural elements help your mind focus on something peaceful, allowing the tension and worries of everyday life to fade away. 3.__________ Your body releases a hormone called cortisol(皮质醇) when you're stressed, but when you are in nature, you can reduce the level of cortisol. By reducing cortisol, nature helps you feel more relaxed and balanced.
Have you ever noticed why being outside in the sunshine or walking through a park can instantly make you feel better 4.___________ When you spend time outside, your body releases chemicals like serotonin and endorphins — these are the “feel-good” chemicals that help boost your mood and make you feel happier. Nature also gives you a break from the noise and distractions of everyday life to be more positive and energized. When you step away from busy environments and immerse(沉浸) yourself in nature, you have time to clear your mind and focus on the beauty around you. 5.__________ So why not take a break and step outside to enjoy nature
A. Additionally, being in nature can lower your stress.
B. This can leave you feeling more refreshed and positive.
C. When you spend time in nature, your mind is totally free.

How Pet Ownership Supports Personal Development
Owning a pet isn't just about companionship. It can also contribute to your personal development.
Pets, especially dogs, can significantly boost your physical health through regular play and exercise.
1.____________ Studies have shown that dog owners often meet their daily exercise requirements more consistently than those who don't own pets.
The interaction with pets encourages peacefulness and reduces stress. Pets live in the moment, encouraging you to do the same during playtime or quiet moments together. 2.__________ Additionally, observing your pet's simple joy in everyday activities reminds you to appreciate life's small pleasures, effectively reducing overall stress.
3.____________ When you look after an animal, you start to recognize their needs and emotions, often through non-verbal (非语言的) clues. This sensitivity extends beyond pets to people, improving your ability to connect with others on an emotional level. For instance, recognizing when your dog feels anxious or unwell sharpens your observational skills and deepens your ability to put yourself in other people's shoes.
The act of training a pet, whether teaching basic commands or addressing behavioral issues, helps with patience and understanding. 4._____________ This teaches you to be patient as you work with your pet's individual needs. Moreover, understanding animal behavior helps in decoding non-verbal clues and develops better communication skills overall.
Pets, especially dogs, can serve as social bridges, helping you connect with fellow pet owners and boosting your social skills. Taking your dog to the park or joining pet-focused community events opens the door to meeting new people. 5._____________
A. Pet ownership enables you to be observant.
B. Caring for a pet helps promote thoughtfulness.
C. Pets often encourage routines that keep you grounded.
D. Daily walks or playful activities ensure you stay active and fit.
E. Each pet has unique learning speeds, requiring tailored approaches.

3.D 段首句 上文讲到了“刺猬型”思维方式的好处,结合空后内容尤其是“hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes,…match their predictions”可知,此处应该过渡到“刺猬型”思维方式的弊端,所以 D 项“但是集中精力于一件大事会有不利的一面”符合语境。

3.D 段中句 + 段内句间递进关系 空前提到制作羽毛球时只使用同一翅膀上的羽毛,以确保形状、大小和运动方向的一致性。这说明羽毛的选择有其一致性和特殊性。空后介绍的是对羽毛的处理方式。因此空处应还是有关羽毛选择的特殊性的内容。故 D 项“但是,要想获得更稳定的飞行,左翅羽毛是更优选”与上文形成递进关系,符合语境。
4.F 段首句 + 段落主旨 解题步骤如下：
①分析语境
寻线索 空处位于段首，应为段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知，检查员检查羽毛是否规则，并进行飞行和速度测试，以及跌落测试和耐久性测试。只有通过这些测试的羽毛球才被允许出售。由此可知，本段主要介绍的是有关羽毛球检查和测试的内容。
②对比选项
定答案 F项“每个羽毛球必须符合严格的标准，以确保最佳性能”能够总领后文内容，符合语境。
5.G 段尾句 根据空前内容可知,优质的材料和精确的设计改进了羽毛球运动;随着现代技术的发展,我们可以期待羽毛球的变化。由此可知,空处应会涉及羽毛球变化的内容,比如变化的方式、变化的影响或者如何看待这种变化等。故G项“无论发生什么,它们不仅是器材,更是科学的产物”符合语境。G项中的“Whatever occurs”与空前的“changes”、“science”与首段中的“science”的呼应关系亦是提示。
Passage 13
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了缓解过度旅游的一些具体的方法：谨慎选择、有创造性、避开高峰期等
1.B 段中句 根据空前的“but the rapid growth of travel has led to over tourism in certain regions and destinations”可知,旅游快速增长导致某些地区和目的地的过度旅游。再根据空后的“Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world”可知,在当今世界,失去旅游提供的东西是无法接受的。由此可推断,空处应该讨论是否停止旅游这一问题。故选B项。
2.C 段尾句 本段小标题是“谨慎选择”，再根据空前的“With so many online posts... deeply draws you”可推知，很多人盲目跟风选择旅游地，只有当目的地的景色、文化或食物真正吸引你时，你才应该去。空处在结尾处，应该紧扣本段标题和空前内容，点出选择旅行应是为自己而不是为别人。故选 C 项。
3.E 段中句 - 近义词复现 根据空前的“Though over tourism is described as a problem. ... That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from”可知,过度旅游只集中在少数非常受欢迎的地方,游客其实还有更多选择的空间。空后的“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser-known sights ”鼓励游客去选择一些地区性或知名度相对较低的景点旅游,以此缓解过度旅游带来的压力。空处应承上启下,涉及游客能选择的其他地方,E项中的“undiscovered places”与上文中的“less-visited options”和下文中的“lesser-known sights”是近义词复现。
4.A 段首句 + 段落主旨 本文是总(Para. 1)—分(Para. 2 至 Para. 4)—总(Para. 5)结构,分析第二至四段的段落结构和特点(祈使句主旨句+内容)可知,本空(位于第四段段首)应是本段主旨句。根据本段中的“skipping major holidays or rush hour”“boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower”可知,本段建议避开重大假期或高峰时间旅行。A项“非高峰时间去旅游”可以精准概括段落大意,故选A。
5.G 段中句 + 段内句间因果关系 根据空前的“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place”可知，作者建议游客尽自己所能去保护旅游地，再根据空后的“You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there”可推断空处应提到如何 Do your part,G 项“考虑为游览的社区做一些贡献”既解释了上文，又是下文的原因。
Passage 14
【解题导语】针对社交媒体上的虚假信息和其他误导公众的企图，文章给我们提供了一些远离此类信息的建议。语篇引导考生思考生活现象, 培养理性思维, 增强信息筛选的能力。
1.G 投尾句 + 原调复现 空前句子提到虚假信息和其他误导公众的企图在社交媒体上很常见,下文给出了“Never share a post without fact checking”等建议,故空处应该承接上文,并引出下文的建议。G项“这里有一些措施可以让你远离错误信息”符合语境。选项中的misinformation 是原词复现,some steps 是对下文建议的概述。
2.D 殷尾句 + this 指代 本段对应的建议是“永远不要在未核实真相的情况下分享帖子”，空前讲到你需要假定其他人并不完美，他们可能会犯错误。空处承接上文，应该说明这样做的好处，故 D 项“这样你会更加谨慎”符合语境。选项中的“this way”指代前面的“you need to assume... make mistakes”这一做法。
3.C 段中旬 + 隐性转折关系 + 指代 空前句子讲到匿名消息来源或者出处单一的故事比有多个确认来源的故事更不可信。空后讲到许多重要的消息泄露和故事都来自单一匿名来源。空处前后存在意义上的转折,所以空处应能承上启下,表明匿名消息来源或者出处单一的故事虽然更不可靠,但也不一定就是假的,所以 C 项“这并不意味着它们是假的”符合语境。选项中的 It 指代上文讲到的“ Anonymous( 匿名的 ) sources. .. are more suspect. .. of confirmation”这种情况。
4.B 段中句 + This 指代 上文讲到许多新闻团队根据特定的客户群体定制内容,因此更有可能从特定的角度报道故事。空处应承接上文,说明“从特定的角度报道故事”这一做法带来的问题。故 B 项“这会削弱它们的准确性”符合语境。选项中的 This 指代上文讲述的情况。
5.E 段首句 + 小标题 + 关键词 分析文章结构可知,空处为一条建议,总结最后一段的内容,是该段落的小标题。最后一段提到不公正的事情会让任何有道德的人感到不安或愤怒。一个能推动情绪的故事并不会因为它能唤起强烈的情感就必然是假的。不幸的是,骗子知道情绪的力量,并在他们的工作中利用这一工具。所以空处的建议应该与“情绪”有关。故 E 项“不要忽视那些迎合情绪的故事”符合语境。其中的关键词是 emotions。
Passage 15
【解题导语】文章介绍了如何很好地传达反馈。语篇以如何与他人积极沟通,理解他人的感受为话题,传递给考生为人处世的技巧,有助于考生更好地构建和谐人际关系。
G 段尾句 + 承上启下 上文讲到调查发现强烈认为反馈有效和有用的人占比较小, 不恰当的反馈会让被反馈者甚至意识不到该反馈或者让对方不高兴、变得怀有戒心。下文给出了更好地传达反馈的几点做法, 所以空处应该承上启下; 再结合最后一段中的“Now that you know this approach”可知, 下面介绍的四点是一个方法的四个步骤, 所以 G 项（以下是一个四步方法, 你可用来很好地传达任何困难的信息）符合语境。
易错点拨：本题容易误选E项（以下四种方法可以用来使你的反馈直接），但是结合文章最后一段可知，这里的四点属于一种方法，E项中的“four methods”与此相悖；此外，下面给出的建议是让你更好地传达反馈，而不仅仅是让你的反馈直接。故排除E项。
2 A 段中句 - Thus 指代 前面提到要问简短但是重要的问题并举例说明，空后讲了两点好处，所以此处应该说这种做法可以带来双重好处。A 项（这可以为你做两件事）描述了这个方法的两种好处，起承上启下的作用。其中的 This 指代上文问这种问题的做法。
3.F 段首句 根据下文的“To change this”可知,空处应说明某种做法是错误的,应该避免;结合本段小标题(避免模糊不清的词)可知,此处应该表示使用模糊不清的词汇是错误的,所以 F 项(在反馈中使用模糊不清的、不明确的词汇是错误的倾向)符合语境。
4.D 段首句 + 近义词复现 本段小标题讲到要陈述影响,下文也举例说明了如何去表述对方给自己带来的影响,所以 D 项(确切地说明对方是如何影响你的)符合语境。D 项中的“influenced”是小标题中的“impact”的近义词复现。
5.C 段中句 + 名词指代 根据下文“Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation”（相反，试着将其变成一个共同解决问题的情境）可知，此处应该讲到要让对话不再是单方面的独白，而是变成一个共同的问题解决过程。故选 C 项。C 项中的“monologue”与文中的“joint problem-solving situation”相呼应。
Passage 16
【解题导语】随着科技的发展,新的教育工具不断出现,有的教育工具促进学习,如数字卡片目录,有的教育工具则对学习产生消极影响,如 ChatGPT。作者呼吁学生在阅读和写作时,不要使用 ChatGPT 和相关技术工具,要学会独立思考。语篇引导考生正确看待科技给人带来的便利性，培养批判性思维，提高独立思考的能力。
1.F 段中句 + 股内旬间转折关系 上文讲在小学时,作者和同学在图书管理员的指导下阅读索引卡检索图书,这种方法令人惊叹。下文讲图书管理员解释说在网站上也可以检索图书,甚至不用离开座椅就可以挑选图书。F项“然而,第二天,整个过程似乎令人失望”承上启下,选项中的“this whole process”指代上文的阅读索引卡检索图书,disappointing与上文的 amazing构成转折,且引出下文的在线检索。
2.G 段首句 下文讲“图书管理员对这项新技术的持续发展没有信心。所以，作为孩子，我们在每个世界都站稳一只脚，一边学习数字世界，一边探索图书馆”，G 项“在那些日子里，我们生活在数字和前数字世界之间”与下文衔接紧密。下文中的“each world”指代G项中的“the digital and pre-digital worlds”，“learning the digital landscape while also physically exploring libraries”也与选项中的“the digital and pre-digital worlds”对应。
3.C 段中句 + 段内句间转折关系 空前的“数字卡片目录是促进学习的工具的一个例子,促使许多学校对新技术采取普遍友好的态度”是对本段第一句话中“new tools have been accepted”的印证。空后讲一些工具对学习产生负面影响。C项“但并非所有工具都具有同样的建设性”与空前内容构成转折,同时引出空后内容,且与段首句中的“rejected”呼应。选项中的“equally constructive”指空前的“facilitate learning”这一特性。
4.D 段尾句 + 代词指代 空前讲 ChatGPT 影响学生完成被分配的任务,学生会停止思考,让 ChatGPT 代替他们消化困难的阅读材料,D 项“他们还可以让它构思教授布置的论文”进一步说明 ChatGPT 对学生独立完成任务的消极影响。选项中的 They 指代上一句的 Students,it 指代 ChatGPT。
5.E 段中句 上文讲学习写作就是学习思考,思考是我们作为人类成长和进步所需要的东西。E 项“如果人们被允许使用基于人工智能的工具,就没有人会思考了”承接上文,描述人工智能工具对思考的破坏性,下文的“ChatGPT 和相关技术破坏了这一重要任务”对 E 项作进一步解释,空后的“this important task”指代空前的 Thinking。
Passage 17
【解题导语】文章介绍了什么是室内绿植,室内绿植带来的好处及你能种植哪些室内绿植。语篇引导考生认识到自然中的植物对人体及其心情的帮助,提高环保意识,结合自然植物培养健康的生活方式。
1.B 段中句 + 段内句间递进关系 空后表明室内绿植还可以通过改善心情、减轻压力、增强记忆力来提升人们的幸福感，且空后的but与B项中的Not only在意思上构成递进关系。故选B。
2.D 段尾句 + 段内句间转折关系 上文说在英国许多这样的物种不适宜在室外生长,特别是在冬季,D项“相反,它们在室内更温暖的地方长势更好”和上文构成转折关系,符合语境。故选D。
3.C 段中旬 根据本段小标题和本段内容可知,该段主要讲述了在室内种植绿植有许多好处,此处引用别人的话也应呼应这一主题。故选 C。
4.E 段尾句 + 例证关系 空处位于段尾,与上文存在例证关系,上文说盆栽可以通过去除二氧化碳等有害气体来净化周围的空气,还可以去除一些来自油漆或烹饪的有害化学物质。E 项“和平百合和绿萝正是效果最好的植物”符合语境。
5.G 段中旬 +lt 指代 空后 lt 指代该空内容,说明这样做可以给人们的生活带来新的兴趣和焦点,并帮助人们建立家与自然的联系。故 G 项“了解每种植物的习性会很有益处”符合语境。
Passage 18
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了人类活动对全球降雨量稳定性的影响以及由此带来的挑战。语篇引导考生树立人类命运共同体意识,积极应对环境和气候变化带来的危机。
1.C 段中句 空前谈到一项新的研究及其发现,空后谈到这项研究所在的出版物,故空处应是与这项研究有关的基本信息,为下文介绍研究内容做铺垫。C 项“这项研究是由中国科学院大气物理研究所的研究人员进行的”符合语境。故选 C。
2.E 段中旬 + 例证关系 空前谈到了降雨多变性的概念,再由空后举的例子“For example, some places... rapidly between droughts and floods”可知,一些地区可能在仅仅几天内就有一年的降雨量,可能在长时间干旱后经历暴雨,或者在旱灾和水灾之间快速交替。这个例子应该是降雨多变性会带来的后果。E项“更高的多变性意味着降雨在一段时间内分布得更加不均匀,导致潮湿和干旱时期”与上下文衔接紧密,与下文存在例证关系,符合语境。“降雨多变性”包含降雨量增加和减少两个方面,B项只提到某个区域会有更多降雨,过于片面,无法与上下文衔接。故选E。
3.F 段尾句 + 段内句间递进关系 上文谈到了研究人员的发现,自20世纪以来,在所研究的约75%陆地地区,尤其是欧洲、澳大利亚和北美东部,降雨多变性增加了,空处承接上文,应该是继续谈论研究发现,F项“(研究人员)还发现,全球日降雨多变性每十年增加1.2%”与上文构成递进关系,符合题意,句中also是逻辑关键词。故选F。
4.D 段首句 + 名/代词指代 下文提到,他们确定了人为排放的温室气体的显著作用,并介绍了研究人员对降雨多变性增加的原因的研究发现。这些是更深入的研究结果,空后的 They 应该指的是研究人员,故 D 项“为了理解降雨多变性增加的原因,
研究团队进行了深入研究”符合语境，其中的“the causes”与下文中的“mainly due to”呼应，“the team”与“They”呼应。
5.A 段尾总结句 + these 指代 上文谈到极端气候之间的大幅度快速波动不仅挑战了当代天气和气候预测系统的现有能力，而且会对人类社会产生连锁影响，威胁到经济发展、生态系统功能和陆地碳汇。A 项“立即采取适应措施对于应对这些挑战至关重要”总结上文，发出呼吁。其中的“these challenges”与上文提到的挑战和影响相呼应。故选 A。
Passage 19
【解题导语】本文主要解释说明了置身于大自然中如何使人身心平静、焕发活力，并号召人们走到户外去享受大自然。语篇助力考生了解大自然给人带来的益处, 引导考生与自然和谐相处, 增强环保意识。
1.G 段中句 + 原词复现 根据下一句中的“such a powerful effect”可知，空处应是说明置身于大自然中的好处，且为总述。结合选项可知，G项符合语境，其中的“a calming and refreshing effect”与下一句中的“such a powerful effect”相呼应，effect 是原词复现。第二、三段段尾关键信息“nature helps you feel more relaxed and balanced”和“you have time to clear your mind and focus on the beauty around you”也是佐证。
2.E 段中句 根据下文中的“These natural elements help your mind focus on something peaceful”可知,此处主要说明的是置身于大自然中能让人关注平静的东西,与E项含义相符。下文中的“the sound... the feel... the sight...”调动的各种感官也与E项中的“senses”呼应。
3.A 段中旬 + 段内句间顺承关系 上一句提到了这些自然元素有助于你的大脑专注于平静的事情, 让日常生活的紧张和担忧逐渐消失。A 项承接上文说明置身于大自然中可以减轻你的压力, 并且与段落的首句内容相对应; 另外, 下文也解释说明了置身于大自然中会如何使人减轻压力, 所以A 选项与上下文衔接紧密, 构成逻辑上的顺承关系。
4.D 段中句 + 关键词 根据空前一句话中的“why being outside in the sunshine or walking through a park can instantly make you feel better”可知,空处应是对该问题的回答,再结合下文中的“help boost your mood and make you feel happier”可确定D项“这是因为大自然有一种改善情绪的方法”符合语境。D项中的“That's because”是对空前问题的回答, why 是关键词,其中的“improving your mood”与空前的“make you feel better”及下文中的“boost your mood and make you feel happier”在语章上相关联,关键词是mood。
5.B 段中句 This 指代 空前说明外出享受自然可以让人清空思绪、留意身边的美,空后号召人们感受自然,因此空处应说明让人这样做的好处,故 B 项符合语境,且 B 项中的“Thin”指代上一句中所提到的情形。
Passage 20
【解题导语】文章介绍了饲养宠物在促进个人发展方面的作用。语篇有助于考生关注动物，培养爱心和责任心。
1.D 段中句：承上启下 解题步骤如下：
1.分析语境
下线索 空前提到和宠物(特别是狗)定期玩耍和运动可以显著促进你的身体健康,空后是有关养宠物者更容易达到每日运动需求的研究结果。由此可知,空处应是在进一步解释这些活动对身体的具体益处。
2.对比选项
定答案 D项“每日散步或玩耍活动确保你保持活跃和健康”能够很好地承接上文,并且引出下文,符合语境。
2.F 段中句 解题步骤如下：
① 分析语境 寻线索 空前提到与宠物互动可以带来平静并减压，并且宠物享受当下，这可以鼓励你在陪它们玩耍或安静的时刻也同样享受当下。空后内容说明观察宠物在日常活动中的简单快乐能够提醒你去欣赏生活中的小乐趣，从而有效地减轻整体压力。由此可推知，空处也应与饲养宠物能够减轻压力、带来平静相关。
② 对比选项 定答案 F项“这种做法有助于清除你日常的烦恼，带来一种平静感”与上下文联系紧密，符合语境。F项中的“a sense of calm”与段首的“peacefulness”之间的呼应亦是提示。
3.B 段首句 +段落主旨 分析文章结构可知,第二、三、六段的首句均为段落主旨句。该空位于段首,也应是总领下文的段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知,当你照顾宠物时,你通常能够通过非语言线索识别它们的需求和情感。这种体贴可以延伸到与人相处,从而提高你的观察力和同理心。B项“照顾宠物能够帮助培养体贴的品质”可以引出下文关于识别需求和情感的讨论，能够概括本段主旨。B项中的“thoughtfulness”与下文中的“put yourself in other people's shoes”相呼应。
4.E 段中旬 + 承上启下 解题步骤如下：
①分析语境，寻线索 空前提到训练宠物能培养耐心和理解的品质。空后内容进一步提到,这教会你在处理宠物的个体需求时要有耐心;此外,了解动物行为有助于解码非语言线索,培养更好的沟通技巧。因此空处内容应与训练宠物能培养耐心相关。
②对比选项
定答案 E项“每个宠物的学习速度都是不同的,需要量身定制的方法”能够很好地衔接上文关于训练宠物能培养耐心的讨论,并为下文提到的在训练过程中需要耐心地处理宠物的个体需求做了铺垫。E项中的“unique learning speeds”“tailored approaches”与空后的“your pet’s individual needs”相照应。
5.G 段尾总结句 解题步骤如下：
①分析语境
寻线索 该空位于最后一段段尾，应起到总结和收尾的作用。空前提到宠物可以作为社交桥梁，帮助你与其他宠物主人建立联系并提升你的社交技能。带宠物去公园或参加以宠物为中心的社区活动，可以为结识新朋友打开大门。因此空处应与通过宠物结识新朋友相关。
②对比选项
定答案 G项“这些互动常常会带来基于对动物的共同喜爱的友谊”能够很好地总结前文内容，强调通过宠物活动结识新朋友，并且这些友谊是基于共同兴趣形成的。G项中的“a common love for animals”与空前的“fellow pet owners”和“pet-focused community events”相呼应。
