技巧点拨: 七选五
▲命题特点
解答阅读七选五题目时,方法会因人而异,所以我们在复习备考中,根据题型特点和平时的教学总结了三种比较实用的解题技法:利用设空位置,快解阅读七选五;依据线索词汇,巧解阅读七选五;根据逻辑关系,化解阅读七选五。这三种技法各有特色,没有优劣之分。有的试题仅仅运用一种方法不能找出答案,可以综合运用三种方法,灵活解题。除了这三种方法外,考生还可以利用语篇分析妙解七选五。
▲解题要点
命题人常采用段首、段中和段尾三种挖空方式。句子在段中的位置不同,所起的作用也不同。出题者正是利用挖空位置的暗示作用和挖空上下文的提示作用,来考查学生的逻辑思维能力。
1.段首设空题
段首句特点
①主旨句:段落小标题或段落主题句
②总结句:总结上文
③过渡句:正确选项与上一段尾句关系紧密
解题法宝
①段首设空法: 空格本身是文章标题或段落小标题,正确选项特点:简短精悍,以祈使句为主
②中心词法:利用本段同义词或相关词汇,推测主题句利用上一段尾句和空后第
③前瞻后顾找启法:利用上一段尾句和空后第一、二句确定相关信息词;设空出现在段首,通常为主题句,其后的句子是对该空的解读。
2.段中设空题
段中设空即主题句的展开句。尤其注意分析空格前后的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性,注意各句间的衔接手段。其特点主要是以转折手法引出主题句,或者是用来承上启下的过渡句,也可能是补充前文的具体事实、事例和说明。
解此类试题时首先应确定所缺的句子是过渡句还是细节句,对于这两类句子,我们将采用不同的方法来解题。
如果是细节句,我们阅读空格前后内容,标记关键词;阅读各个选项,标记关键词;比较匹配关键词,确定答案;利用词语复现确定答案;利用表并列、转折、让步和因果关系的过渡衔接词确定选项
如果是过渡句。我们阅读空格前后内容,挖掘内在逻辑关系;阅读各个选项,标记表转折、并列、让过渡句步或因果关系的过渡衔接词;注意词语复现:同源、同义、近义或反义词复现,不同时态形式的动词等。
3.段尾设空题
如果是总结句,我们阅读空前段落内容,抓住主旨,总结空前的内容,并利用词汇复现等总结句 技巧选出正确选项。常含有总结性段尾 的词语,如therefore,thus,to sum up,to conclude,in a word 等
如果过渡句,我们 “瞻前顾后”找启示 阅读设空前一句;结合下一段开头,留意衔接词和关键词;注意所选答案是否衔接上下段内容。

Whether someone makes you angry, you’re upset with yourself, or you’re just having a bad day, one of the best ways to direct your angry energy is through exercise. That angry energy can build inside of you. 51 If you’re looking to direct your anger through exercise, there are exercises suitable for it.
Running is a very effective technique to calm anxieties. The focus it takes to run and the endorphins your body releases will take your mind off whatever is frustrating you. Be sure to adequately warm up and stretch before you run! 52 You can enhance the benefits by running in an area that is free of distractions like around a lake or through a peaceful part of the city.
A challenging yoga practice is a great way to control your anger to help you get through it. You may be so frustrated that getting started in a yoga practice may seem impossible. 53 You can focus on directing your angry energy into each of the movements. It may also help you to have the support of the group to help you get involved.
54 Conditioning classes are a great opportunity to focus your angry energy into hitting a heavy punching bag while also burning a lot of calories. These classes are often challenging, so you can use your anger to help you get through the difficulty of the workout. Focus on your breathing, your technique, and harnessing your anger to deliver strong punches.
Cycling is a serious cardiovascular (心血管的) workout and you can use your anger to help you push through the difficulty of it. When you go for a ride outdoors, the extra focus it takes to navigate the outside world can provide a helpful distraction from your frustration. 55
A.It’s advisable to find a scenic route.
B.Be sure to obey traffic laws and wear a helmet.
C.Boxing is a great way to relieve your frustration.

Passage 1
Gear guide—buying a backpack
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. 1
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. 2 My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry more. Compare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space.
3 Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. 4 It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach!
5 Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you? After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from.
A.I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.
B.Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.
C.A wide variety of functions are offered to customers.
D.It is recommended that you consider weight and features.
E.Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.
F.So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.
G.A cool pack can provide an enjoyable and comfortable hiking trip for you.

Passage 2
What Are the Study Habits of TOP Students at Oxford University?
Study Habit 1; Go to your lectures.
For the first 2 years of Oxford, I went to maybe 4 lectures out of hundreds available. I was arrogant, foolish, lazy, and severely disadvantaging myself. In my third year, I went to almost every single lecture available, including those involving topics I was not personally involved or interested in.
6 Lectures are FUN! Sure, some of them suck. But I found so many gems (宝石) that influenced my thinking. I found so many passionate, knowledgeable speakers who got me excited about the topic.
Study Habit 2: 7
For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in class. 8 My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex. They stayed the same. And they were often wrong.
Then I got over myself and offered more of my own opinions. I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted more. Being an active student also means asking for help. The smartest people in the world learned everything from other smart people.
Study Habit 3: Establish a perfect study environment.
This is a very personal place and it needs to be somewhere you instantly click into study mode. It might be your dorm room. It might be your library. 9 My perfect study environment was actually the Oxford English Faculty building. It was totally silent.
Study Habit 4: Study in small parts.
It doesn’t matter how much new information you stuff into your head if you forget it the next day or cannot apply it. When you structure your studying, the most important task is always to ensure you are remembering the information you have already learned. That always comes first. 10 Remember to review what you’ve previously learned in each new block.
A.Be an active student.
B.It might be your local coffee shop.
C.I hated lectures so much that I quitted all of them.
D.My mind changed when I actually went to lectures.
E.You need to break your studying up into manageable blocks.
F.Any environment, even a library, can cause you to lose focus.
G.I didn’t volunteer in discussions and, as a result, I didn’t understand much.

Passage 3
Learning a second language is really helpful for us. 11
1.You become smarter.
Learning a second language improves your memory (记忆).Becoming bilingual (双语的) exercises your brain,challenges you to concentrate,and improves your problemsolving skills. 12 Learning a second language also improves your native language,as it teaches you the structures (结构) behind any language—not just new languages.
2.It's great for traveling.
Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said that “the limits (限制) of your language are the limits of your world,” and he was right. 13 Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country.
3. 14
Researchers are also saying that people who can speak different languages are more creative than monolingual (仅懂一种语言的) speakers.Learning a foreign language improves not only your ability to solve problems,it also makes you experiment with new words.
4.It builds up your selfconfidence.
You’re about to teach yourself to believe,“Yes,I can.” Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered,and learning a foreign language is no different. 15 The way you use to develop a second tongue results in a greater sense of openmindedness.
A.It increases your creativity.
B.You can share it with your new friends.
C.Learning a second language is easier as a child.
D.There are many advantages of learning a foreign language.
E.Bilingual students are likely to score higher than monolingual students.
F.Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.
G.Confident people are more interesting than those who are unsure of themselves.

Passage 4
Here is a list of the best ways to learn a new language.
Plan your journey with realistic goals. When starting a journey to learn a language, pacing yourself is important. 16 Instead, consider setting small and manageable goals that can be achieved more easily. Start with identifying your goal.
17 You don’t want to overwhelm (压垮) yourself with new information, and make unrealistic jumps from learning the letters to sentences. Slowly build from letters, to words, to sentences and take your time in each step. Learn commonly used words first and those relevant to you, and then slowly build from there.
Make it a daily habit. Sometimes 24 hours can seem like not enough time in the day, but in order to achieve your new goal, you need to make a commitment. 18 It states that you do one small thing every day for half an hour and you will gradually improve. So, even if you’re really busy, set at least half an hour to sit down and study.
Expose yourself to media. If you’re in the living room watching TV, switch to a channel in the language you want to learn. On the road commuting (通勤)? Listen to podcasts speaking that language or even a language learning podcast. 19 That’s why it’s a good idea to follow people tweeting in that language.
Pick up new words in your own way. If there’s a show in the language you’re learning, watch it once with subtitles then once without. This way you can pick up new words. If there’s a song you like, print out the lyrics and translate it for fun. Do you enjoy cooking? 20
A.Start with the basics.
B.We are always on social media.
C.You need confidence in speaking.
D.Try reading a recipe in that language.
E.You cannot expect to be fluent instantly.
F.We should quit our interaction with others.
G.There’s a theory called “half hour theory”.

Passage 5
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety. Experts have dubbed (戏称) this worry the “Sunday scaries.” 21 . Here’s how experts say you can overcome your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Structure your Sunday
Structure can be a best friend when feeling the Sunday scaries. 22 . You might still get a sense of fear, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’re engaging in something that makes you feel good.
23
When structuring your Sunday, try not to arrange too many errands and chores (事务). If you’re feeling more stress in general, it’s important to make space for relaxing activities to ground yourself. And there’s no right way to relax. Maybe a mid-afternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show.
Identify your anxiety sources
24 . Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation? Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, experts recommend creating multiple to-do lists to make it all more manageable. One list for tasks that need to be completed immediately, another for tasks that are less urgent, and a final list for tasks that you’d like to complete at some point.
Create some excitement for the week ahead
Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about that’s pleasing, rather than only focusing on the fear you feel. Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with. 25 .
A.Don’t forget to relax
B.Stop doing errands and chores
C.Try to figure out what’s really causing you to fear the week
D.But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable
E.Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, do something you enjoy
F.This allows you to shift your thoughts to something fun and helps improve your mood
G.It is an overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety about going to work or school the next day

Passage 6
If you’re always comparing yourself to your peers, you might be low in confidence and unsure of yourself. Here are some tips on how to stop comparing yourself to others.
Write down your positive traits. When you ignore your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. You might focus on their strengths and ignore your own completely. 26 By being aware of your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself and build up your self﹣confidence.
Keep a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal helps you recognize the things you may take for granted so you can fully appreciate them. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy. 27 Explain how they influence your life in detail. For example, if you jog in the park every day, you might express how you’re grateful for your health and how jogging helps you overcome stress at work.
28 Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. Take advantage of all chances to improve your skills and techniques. Don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. Only by making efforts to improve your abilities can you make yourself happy.
Compete against yourself. 29 Instead, use comparison to become an improved version of yourself. Set goals for yourself and try to improve your own personal best. When you set a goal for yourself, track your progress so that you can see how you are moving toward that goal. That way
Overcoming comparison is a continuous process, but it is possible! 30
A.Take control over your life.
B.Work on improving your abilities.
C.Don’t compare your life to other people’s.
D.Write down why you’re grateful for them.
E.With time and practice, you can become the best version of yourself.
F.Appreciate others and use their success to motivate you to work hard.
G.To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents.

Passage 7
What to look for when finding the perfect workout partner
There are a ton of benefits to having a great workout partner that pushes you to reach your goals. But it can initially be a little difficult to find the right person to work out with. 31
● Your best friend might not be your best partner. While you and your friend may get on well outside the gym, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll make great workout partners. One of the best reasons is that there can be a level of competition, which pushes both of you to work harder. 32 It could push your friendship into some awkward places that end up hurting your relationship.
● 33 Common sense tells us that we should work out with someone who’s at a similar place in hitting the same goals! But that isn’t guaranteed to be the best matchup. In fact, you might do better partnering up with someone who’s better than you. 34 For you, working out with someone who’ s faster or stronger could add a level of competition that causes you to push your limits. For your partner, they’ll have someone who’s motivated to keep up, which is great for them, too.
● Get on the same schedule. 35 You could be perfectly in step with someone, but if you’re never able to work out together, there’s no point. That’s why it’s important to take scheduling into account right from the start.
A.Pick a partner who is fitter than you.
B.It’s actually a win-win for both of you.
C.Choose your workout partner in your gym.
D.Here are some tips for finding the perfect workout partner.
E.You wouldn’t be comfortable adding this element to your friendship.
F.You’ll more likely show up for your exercise when working out with a friend.
G.All of this is meaningless if you can’t even find the time to meet up for each other.

Passage 8
Many of us share an incredible bond with our pets. They provide companionship, bring happiness and for some even provide a sense of purpose. So, when a pet passes away—or goes missing or is stolen—it can trigger (引发) all sorts of painful emotions. 36 . It’s difficult to go through. Here’s some advice for dealing with the death of a pet.
You are normal
Some may not understand how upsetting the loss of a pet can be and can make you feel you’re overreacting. You should not feel ashamed of your emotions, and the grieving process can’t be forced or sped along. Be patient with yourself. 37 .
38
Bottling up your feelings will only make matters worse in the long run. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions. It’s okay to cry or feel angry, after all you have lost someone very special and dear to you. Don’t be hard on yourself if some days are more difficult than others. 39 . These can be places you often went to, or the date of your pet’s arrival or their birthday.
Open up
40 . Don’t be afraid to speak to family and friends, especially if they knew your pet, as they can support you. If a pet is lost or stolen, this can be very difficult. One thing is writing down how you feel and what you would have said to your pet. This can work for any form of loss.
A.Don’t ignore the pain
B.Pets can be our best companions
C.Life can suddenly feel very empty
D.There will be events that cause your sorrow
E.Avoid the items and places related to your pet
F.Talking about your feelings and your pet can really help
G.Understand that what and how you are feeling is perfectly normal

Passage 9
Because of its abstract nature, contemporary (当代的) art can be difficult for people to understand. When people don’t understand art, they start to reject it. You start hearing criticisms, like people saying that it’s a scam, or that these artists are cons that are just trying to make a dollar. Nothing could be further from the truth. Do you want to try to increase your appreciation of contemporary art? 41
Read between the lines
It’s kind of cliché (陈词滥调), but the question “What does it represent?” is not only true, but also vital to understand how contemporary artworks and what it has to offer. Especially in contemporary art, which focuses heavily on being a reflection of society, you should think of the world today and how it relates to the piece instead of just taking it at face value. 42 . It should increase your appreciation for what contemporary art has to offer.
Come humbly
When you’re attending a contemporary art exhibition, it’s counterproductive to come at it with the attitude of being overcritical. Instead of coming into the exhibit with the attitude that these people are misleading artists, you should instead be trying to be as humble (谦卑的) as possible, and experiencing the diverse perspectives that the art has to offer rather than critiquing the art itself. 43 you’re not going to be able to change your attitude about contemporary art. Want to appreciate contemporary art? Start from a place of humility
44
45 and the art that they create reflects that difference. If you don’t know the background of the artist, and you’re trying to get to a place where you can appreciate their work, you should learn a little bit about their history. It’s extremely common for there to be brochures at exhibits that will give you all of the information that you need to know about the art and the artist who created it. This brings a new dimension to experiencing contemporary art, and is a surefire way to increase your appreciation of it.
A.Contemporary has a lot features
B.Appreciate it from another aspect
C.If you come into the exhibit with a prideful attitude
D.The artist has a different perspective and worldview than you do
E.There is no right or wrong answer in contemporary art appreciation
F.You might find that the piece reflects some of the issues that are important to people today
G.Here are a few tips to make you truly appreciate everything that contemporary art has to offer

Passage 10
Whether you’re just starting your own business or thinking about beginning one, keeping costs down is important. 46 . Here are some tips you can use to save money for your business.
·Repurpose when possible
Before you spend money on a business, look around your home to see if you have something that could be repurposed to fill the need you have at work. For example, you could use some of your paint in the garage to make an old table and chairs look new. This is another form of recycling. 47 .

48 , and imagine what your business would look like without each one. If you don’t need it, consider the cost savings and if it’s worth doing without saving that money. If you’re still designing your business plan, then build it with necessities only and add on as your business grows.
·Give and take

Passage 1
Gear guide—buying a backpack
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. 1
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. 2 My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry more. Compare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space.
3 Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. 4 It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach!
5 Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you? After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from.
A.I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.
B.Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.
C.A wide variety of functions are offered to customers.
D.It is recommended that you consider weight and features.
E.Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.
F.So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.
G.A cool pack can provide an enjoyable and comfortable hiking trip for you.

(快速浏览我的户外贸易目录,发现有49家公司销售或制造背包。如果它们都生产10个背包,那么对于初学者来说,选择的数量是令人惊人的。)”可知,此处强调当面临数量众多的背包时,不知道如何选择,后文应该指出解决方案。F选项“So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.(所以,在你踏入户外商店之前,先考虑一下你自己的需求。)”与前文构成因果关系。故选F。

(选择一个适合你背部长度的背包也很重要。)”可知,此处指出选择合适自己的背包。E选项“Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.(有些背包的脖口很窄,很难取出大的东西。)”引起下文,指出背包的脖口很小,很难伸手够到东西,承接前文提出的应该要选择适合自己背包。同时后文也提出了具体建议还要适合自己背部长度的背包,符合语境。故选E。
5.根据前文“but why buy something that won’t look good on you? (但是为什么要买一些不适合你的东西呢?)”可知,此处强调选择背包也要注意外观。B选项“Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.(毫无疑问,我们不会忽视背包的外观。)”符合语境。故选B。
Passage 2
What Are the Study Habits of TOP Students at Oxford University?
Study Habit 1; Go to your lectures.
For the first 2 years of Oxford, I went to maybe 4 lectures out of hundreds available. I was arrogant, foolish, lazy, and severely disadvantaging myself. In my third year, I went to almost every single lecture available, including those involving topics I was not personally involved or interested in.
6 Lectures are FUN! Sure, some of them suck. But I found so many gems (宝石) that influenced my thinking. I found so many passionate, knowledgeable speakers who got me excited about the topic.
Study Habit 2: 7
For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in class. 8 My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex. They stayed the same. And they were often wrong.
Then I got over myself and offered more of my own opinions. I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted more. Being an active student also means asking for help. The smartest people in the world learned everything from other smart people.
Study Habit 3: Establish a perfect study environment.
This is a very personal place and it needs to be somewhere you instantly click into study mode. It might be your dorm room. It might be your library. 9 My perfect study environment was actually the Oxford English Faculty building. It was totally silent.
Study Habit 4: Study in small parts.
It doesn’t matter how much new information you stuff into your head if you forget it the next day or cannot apply it. When you structure your studying, the most important task is always to ensure you are remembering the information you have already learned. That always comes first. 10 Remember to review what you’ve previously learned in each new block.
A.Be an active student.
B.It might be your local coffee shop.
C.I hated lectures so much that I quitted all of them.
D.My mind changed when I actually went to lectures.
E.You need to break your studying up into manageable blocks.
F.Any environment, even a library, can cause you to lose focus.
G.I didn’t volunteer in discussions and, as a result, I didn’t understand much.

Passage 3
Learning a second language is really helpful for us. 11
1.You become smarter.
Learning a second language improves your memory (记忆).Becoming bilingual (双语的) exercises your brain,challenges you to concentrate,and improves your problemsolving skills. 12 Learning a second language also improves your native language,as it teaches you the structures (结构) behind any language—not just new languages.
2.It's great for traveling.
Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said that “the limits (限制) of your language are the limits of your world,” and he was right. 13 Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country.

Researchers are also saying that people who can speak different languages are more creative than monolingual (仅懂一种语言的) speakers.Learning a foreign language improves not only your ability to solve problems,it also makes you experiment with new words.
4.It builds up your selfconfidence.
You’re about to teach yourself to believe,“Yes,I can.” Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered,and learning a foreign language is no different. 15 The way you use to develop a second tongue results in a greater sense of openmindedness.
A.It increases your creativity.
B.You can share it with your new friends.
C.Learning a second language is easier as a child.
D.There are many advantages of learning a foreign language.
E.Bilingual students are likely to score higher than monolingual students.
F.Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.

Passage 4
Here is a list of the best ways to learn a new language.
Plan your journey with realistic goals. When starting a journey to learn a language, pacing yourself is important. 16 Instead, consider setting small and manageable goals that can be achieved more easily. Start with identifying your goal.
17 You don’t want to overwhelm (压垮) yourself with new information, and make unrealistic jumps from learning the letters to sentences. Slowly build from letters, to words, to sentences and take your time in each step. Learn commonly used words first and those relevant to you, and then slowly build from there.
Make it a daily habit. Sometimes 24 hours can seem like not enough time in the day, but in order to achieve your new goal, you need to make a commitment. 18 It states that you do one small thing every day for half an hour and you will gradually improve. So, even if you’re really busy, set at least half an hour to sit down and study.
Expose yourself to media. If you’re in the living room watching TV, switch to a channel in the language you want to learn. On the road commuting (通勤)? Listen to podcasts speaking that language or even a language learning podcast. 19 That’s why it’s a good idea to follow people tweeting in that language.
Pick up new words in your own way. If there’s a show in the language you’re learning, watch it once with subtitles then once without. This way you can pick up new words. If there’s a song you like, print out the lyrics and translate it for fun. Do you enjoy cooking? 20
A.Start with the basics.
B.We are always on social media.
C.You need confidence in speaking.
D.Try reading a recipe in that language.
E.You cannot expect to be fluent instantly.
F.We should quit our interaction with others.
G.There’s a theory called “half hour theory”.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学习外语的几种方法。

18.根据下文中“It states that you do one small thing every day for half an hour and you will gradually improve.(它表明你每天花半个小时做一件小事,你会逐渐提高)”可知,G项中的“half hour”与“for half an hour”呼应,“It”指代的是G项中的“theory”。G选项“有一种理论叫做‘半小时理论’”符合语境,故选G。
19.根据上文“Expose yourself to media. If you’re in the living room watching TV, switch to a channel in the language you want to learn. On the road commuting (通勤)?

20.根据空前的“Do you enjoy cooking?(你喜欢烹饪吗?)”可知,上文提到了烹饪,本句为本段最后一句,故说明用烹饪促进语言的发展,D选项中recipe对应上文cooking。故D项“试着用那种语言读食谱。”符合语境。故选D。
Passage 5
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety. Experts have dubbed (戏称) this worry the “Sunday scaries.” 21 . Here’s how experts say you can overcome your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Structure your Sunday
Structure can be a best friend when feeling the Sunday scaries. 22 . You might still get a sense of fear, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’re engaging in something that makes you feel good.
23
When structuring your Sunday, try not to arrange too many errands and chores (事务). If you’re feeling more stress in general, it’s important to make space for relaxing activities to ground yourself. And there’s no right way to relax. Maybe a mid-afternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show.
Identify your anxiety sources
24 . Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation? Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, experts recommend creating multiple to-do lists to make it all more manageable. One list for tasks that need to be completed immediately, another for tasks that are less urgent, and a final list for tasks that you’d like to complete at some point.
Create some excitement for the week ahead
Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about that’s pleasing, rather than only focusing on the fear you feel. Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with. 25 .
A.Don’t forget to relax
B.Stop doing errands and chores
C.Try to figure out what’s really causing you to fear the week
D.But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable
E.Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, do something you enjoy
F.This allows you to shift your thoughts to something fun and helps improve your mood
G.It is an overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety about going to work or school the next day

Passage 6
If you’re always comparing yourself to your peers, you might be low in confidence and unsure of yourself. Here are some tips on how to stop comparing yourself to others.
Write down your positive traits. When you ignore your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. You might focus on their strengths and ignore your own completely. 26 By being aware of your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself and build up your self﹣confidence.
Keep a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal helps you recognize the things you may take for granted so you can fully appreciate them. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy. 27 Explain how they influence your life in detail. For example, if you jog in the park every day, you might express how you’re grateful for your health and how jogging helps you overcome stress at work.
28 Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. Take advantage of all chances to improve your skills and techniques. Don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. Only by making efforts to improve your abilities can you make yourself happy.
Compete against yourself. 29 Instead, use comparison to become an improved version of yourself. Set goals for yourself and try to improve your own personal best. When you set a goal for yourself, track your progress so that you can see how you are moving toward that goal. That way
Overcoming comparison is a continuous process, but it is possible! 30
A.Take control over your life.
B.Work on improving your abilities.
C.Don’t compare your life to other people’s.
D.Write down why you’re grateful for them.
E.With time and practice, you can become the best version of yourself.
F.Appreciate others and use their success to motivate you to work hard.
G.To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents.

Passage 7
What to look for when finding the perfect workout partner
There are a ton of benefits to having a great workout partner that pushes you to reach your goals. But it can initially be a little difficult to find the right person to work out with. 31
● Your best friend might not be your best partner. While you and your friend may get on well outside the gym, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll make great workout partners. One of the best reasons is that there can be a level of competition, which pushes both of you to work harder. 32 It could push your friendship into some awkward places that end up hurting your relationship.
● 33 Common sense tells us that we should work out with someone who’s at a similar place in hitting the same goals! But that isn’t guaranteed to be the best matchup. In fact, you might do better partnering up with someone who’s better than you. 34 For you, working out with someone who’ s faster or stronger could add a level of competition that causes you to push your limits. For your partner, they’ll have someone who’s motivated to keep up, which is great for them, too.
● Get on the same schedule. 35 You could be perfectly in step with someone, but if you’re never able to work out together, there’s no point. That’s why it’s important to take scheduling into account right from the start.
A.Pick a partner who is fitter than you.
B.It’s actually a win-win for both of you.
C.Choose your workout partner in your gym.
D.Here are some tips for finding the perfect workout partner.
E.You wouldn’t be comfortable adding this element to your friendship.
F.You’ll more likely show up for your exercise when working out with a friend.
