With this knowledge you can consider more specific ways to improve your own athletics journey. 转折逻辑+同义替换：not to try to ignore=care about（近义词替换）；feeling=envy, shame, sadness or unfairness（上下义关系替换） 【小科普】从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系：转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。 表示转折关系的连接词有：However, nevertheless, nonetheless, still；though，yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever，on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise，not...but，as well等。 【小科普】从词汇线索上判断——上下义词/同一范畴词：上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者，或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题。比如说中文里面的“笔”和“钢笔”，其中“笔”是一个上义词，而“钢笔”是一个下义词。这表明“笔”是一个更广泛的概念，而“钢笔”则是一个更具体的概念。 Score where you currently are with each so you can see which will require most work to improve. When you have this list of improvements you can turn each into a process goal to achieve weekly. 5 同义替换：improvement=right direction; turn into=move;所以D选项当选 【小科普】注意词语复现:作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时，与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现，这种现象叫词语复现。同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现;以同义词的形式重复出现,叫同义复现;以近义词或近义表达(意思相近，表达方式不同)的形式重复出现，叫近义复现。 2 As humans we seek connection and a sense of belonging. This means we are continually assessing ourselves against others to check we still fit in with those we perceive to be like us. The issue in athletics is you are comparing uncontrollable outputs rather than intentional inputs so you might feel disappointed, your confidence can suffer a blow and your performance may decline. Here are some essential strategies to protect yourself from comparison. Psychologically= feel disppoinnted= perceive= uncontrollable outputs and intentional inputs= confidence Comparison原词对应； make sense= connection and a sense of belonging 【小科普】主题句法：如果设空处位于段首或断尾的位置，根据段落一致性原则，可从选项中查找与文章有关的同义词、近义词或关联词，然后做出选择。 As an athlete in the digital age, you will find comparison is everywhere. 1 Event results, club time trials and social media accounts all give instant access to what everyone else is doing and what times they are getting, often right next to our own achievements. If we are not where we want to be it can feel horrible. 同义替换： requires less effort=give instant access；compare= comparison Compare oneself with others=what everyone else is doing and what times they are getting 【小科普】词汇线索判断法：做题时注意线索词,最主要的线索词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找答案时应注意在选项中查找相关同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。 第三步，确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。 C. When comparing too much, we usually feel rubbish.当比较太多的时候，我们通常会觉得自己是垃圾。文章里面提到说比较是horrible可怕的；而不是rubbish,这是过度的推断。 E. Therefore, you can do nothing but accept the comparison.因此，你只能接受比较。文章末尾提到我们在比较面前是有提升空间的，是improvement 第四步，通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。 As an athlete in the digital age, you will find comparison is everywhere. 作为数字时代的运动员，你会发现比较无处不在。 词汇解析： ①comparison 比较，对照 I enclose the two plans for comparison. 兹附上两份计划以供比较。 ②everywhere 到处 Smoking was forbidden everywhere. 吸烟到处都是被禁止的。 It usually requires less effort to compare ourselves with others. 把自己和别人比较通常不需要太大的努力。 Event results, club time trials and social media accounts all give instant access to what everyone else is doing and what times they are getting, often right next to our own achievements. 赛事结果、俱乐部计时赛和社交媒体账户都能让我们即时了解其他人在做什么，他们取得了什么成绩，通常就在我们自己的成就旁边。 词汇解析： Give access to 提供访问权限 The Yangtze River would give access to much of China's interior. 长江使得人们能够到达中国内陆许多地方。 If we are not where we want to be it can feel horrible. 如果我们没有达到我们想要达到的地方，感觉会很糟糕。 Psychologically, comparisons make sense. 从心理学上讲，比较是有意义的。 词汇解析： ①psychologically心理上地；心理学地 Psychologically, the defeat was devastating. 就心理而言，这次失败是致命的。 ②make sense 有明确的意义，容易理解；合理的，明智的 To make sense, these figures should not be looked at in isolation. 这些数据不应孤立起来看，否则就没有意义。 As humans we seek connection and a sense of belonging. 作为人类，我们寻求联系和归属感。 词汇解析： ①connection 关系，联系；连接，接通 I felt a strong connection between us. 我感觉到了我们之间的强烈关系。 ②sense of belonging 归属感 Cultures give us a sense of belonging in society. 文化给我们一种社会归属感。 This means we are continually assessing ourselves against others to check we still fit in with those we perceive to be like us. 这意味着我们不断地用别人来衡量自己，以检查我们是否适合那些我们认为像我们的人。 The issue in athletics is you are comparing uncontrollable outputs rather than intentional inputs so you might feel disappointed, your confidence can suffer a blow and your performance may decline. 田径运动的问题是，你比较的是无法控制的输出，而不是有意的输入，所以你可能会感到失望，你的信心可能会受到打击，你的表现可能会下降。 词汇解析： ①uncontrollable无法控制的；无法管束的；难以驾驭的 It had been a time of almost uncontrollable excitement. 那曾是个激动时刻，那激动几乎无法控制。 ②intentional adj.故意的，蓄意的 Women who are the victims of intentional discrimination will be able to get compensation. 遭受故意歧视的妇女们将能得到赔偿。 Here are some essential strategies to protect yourself from comparison. 这里有一些基本的策略来保护自己不受攀比的影响。 词汇解析： Protect...from 保护免受……的伤害 Such people usually wear socks to protect from contact with materials. 这类人群往往也可以通过穿袜子来避免过敏症状。 The first way you might want to handle this comparison is not to try to ignore those you measure yourself against. 处理这种比较的第一种方法可能是不要试图忽略那些与你比较的人。 Instead, care about what feeling it is they are stimulating within you. 相反，关心他们在你内心激发的是什么感觉。 Is it envy, shame, sadness or unfairness? 是嫉妒、羞耻、悲伤还是不公平?
