No more negative energy. 　1　  Hard times are rubbish, but they make you what you are. Recognize that and know that if you can come through them, you will be more capable and more confident. It's a lucky person indeed who manages to avoid upset as they go through life; what's important is how you deal with it. Count your blessings Feeling sorry for yourself? It may sound normal, but it's important to remind yourself of what's good about your life. Try writing a list of the things you're thankful for, or spend a few minutes every evening putting down three nice things that have happened to you that day. 　2　. Patted a dog in the park? Write it down. Laughed at a silly meme(表情包)on social media? Put that on the list too.  Protect yourself from energy vampires We all know those who suck the joy out of life and leave you feeling emotionally exhausted. They moan, blame others or just generally bring you down.　3　. Gently explain the effect that they have may bring them round, or simply make sure you're always positive yourself in order to reduce the bad effect of their negativity.　4　, or eventually cut ties with them entirely.  Create joy in your life 　5　. Make a coffee date with a friend; set aside an hour to play a board game with your family; or take a regular walk where you explore somewhere new in your locality.  A.Focus on positivity B.Accept unfavorable situations C.Remember to set down the three most significant ones D.Try to understand that they have probably got problems E.It really doesn't matter if they are small and insignificant F.But ultimately you might need to limit the time you spend with them G.Inject positivity into your daily routine by making time for activities that bring you pleasure 二 　　Creativity is how you think, explore and reason. We all want it but at times it seems far too out of reach. Here are a handful of ways that give you inspiration. Daydream Your teacher may tell you off for staring out of the window at nothing. 　1　. The scientists recorded brain activity while people lay still, but not asleep, and concluded that daydreaming can help people become better problem⁃solvers. However, if you're simply not paying attention when you should be, that clearly isn't beneficial.  　2　  Be willing to challenge things that you have always done. A group of watermelon farmers had an issue with the way that watermelons were difficult to pack and store. Their round shape meant that they took up a lot of space.“But why do watermelons actually need to be round?” thought the farmers. They began growing the fruit in square glass boxes, thus creating square watermelons. 　3　.  Have a good laugh Believe it or not, more than one study has shown that people who watched a comedy film are much better afterwards at coming up with a creative solution to a problem than those who watched a horror film. It appears that having a good laugh makes us feel more relaxed, which helps the creative process. 　4　. That's because the mind is too focused on survival.  Noise You might imagine that you will be at your most creative if you are able to work in complete silence, but you'd be wrong. For most creative tasks, a low level of noise, like the chatter that you get in a café, is best. 　5　, but when you want to come up with ideas, try a little hubbub (喧闹).  A.Think outside the box B.Face challenges with courage C.It is very difficult to be creative when you're stressed D.They quickly win the market back and make larger profits E.They just needed to think differently to find the perfect solution F.Complete silence is good when you need to focus on a difficult task G.But having a wandering mind may be a sign of intelligence and creativity 三 　　If you can create a perfect flower arrangement for the next dinner party, it will undoubtedly be the center of attraction. 　1　 There are some ways to create beautiful flower arrangements based on seasonal fragrant flowers, and some green leaves.  Select the perfect flowers. The first step is to use fresh flowers. 　2　 If you want to have bright and summery appearance, you can choose a variety of colors for carnations, geraniums, and tulips. Such colors make the fresh flower arrangement look bright and beautiful.  　3　 Select seasonal flowers and leaves so that the entire arrangement looks like a natural handheld bunch. You can choose locally available flowers, adding broad leaves so that the entire arrangement looks natural. If you want to give the arrangement natural yet special appeal, you can add unique flowers like tulips, carnations, and orchids.  Use tropical flowers. In Australia, you can use several tropical flowers to make unique flower arrangements. These flowers can improve the beauty of any bunch. 　4　 For example, if you want to have brighter appeal, you can add tropical flowers like daisies, sunflowers, and snapdragons.  Choose a particular shape. When you select a flower arrangement, it is basic to select structure. The flowers should be such that they can easily be put in a particular shape. If you want a new moon shape, then you should select flowers that will stress the shape. You will also need stalks(梗) to help you build the shape. 　5　  A.Create perfect flower arrangements. B.Keep the flower arrangement natural. C.Flowers can always improve the feeling of mind. D.This will allow you to place several flowers in the vase. E.Moreover, all of these flowers are available in several colors. F.They will contribute to achieving the overall beauty of the arrangement. G.You're advised to add such flowers to a pre⁃existing bunch and change its appearance completely. 四 　　No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. 　1　 From the day you leave your parents' house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.  If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions.　2　However, it doesn't change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life. Even if it's not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond.  　3　 If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That's because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success were easy, everybody would be successful.  There is nothing that you can't achieve with hard work. People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical events in the future.　4　 Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don't change what you do daily.  A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office?　5　  A.But that is not the case. B.No one else is responsible for your life. C.Now these questions seem like magic to you. D.Nothing else can be the drive for your success. E.Once you answer these questions, you know what to do. F.The biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance. G.You can blame other people for your lack of happiness all life long. 五 　　During my stay in Hawaii for further studies in 1983—1984, I saw many Japanese tourists enjoying the sun and sand on Waikiki Beach or shopping in the malls. 　1　  At that time the monthly income of an average Chinese worker was about 30 yuan—the exchange rate then was about 2 yuan to one US dollar—not enough to even make ends meet for most of the families. 　2　  But that dream has come true. About 10 years ago, when I visited Hawaii again to attend a conference hosted by the East⁃West Center, I found Chinese tourists had replaced Japanese tourists both on the beach and in the malls. 　3　  The country's rapid economic development has enabled millions of Chinese people to travel abroad. In 2019, Chinese people made 155 million overseas visits, making China the top source of outbound tourists in the world, far ahead of second⁃ and third⁃placed Germany and the United States. Chinese tourists spend about $130 billion abroad every year. 　4　 Chinese tourists today can be found in all the corners of the world, from Waikiki Beach to the Sahara Desert, from the Arctic to the Antarctic.  　5　 At that time some Chinese, who had relatives in Singapore and Thailand, were given visas to travel to those countries if the relatives sponsored their visits. The same mode was adopted for those who had relatives in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and, later, Taiwan, China.  A.The trend started 30 years ago. B.Chinese tourists prefer guided tours. C.Only the Chinese tourists were shopping more crazily. D.They spend more than tourists from any other country. E.As a result, traveling abroad was a dream for most Chinese. F.As a student from a poor country, I hoped someday the tourists would include Chinese. G.And most of those who travel in groups are retired people or inexperienced, young tourists. 六 　　Whether it's painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. 　1　 But you don't have to be a full⁃time artist to get those health benefits. All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. Here are things you need to know to start your creative art habit.  　2　 “We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 　3　  Start with what you enjoy—maybe something you've done before, maybe something you loved as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don't feel like you have to stick to one thing. 　4　  Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 　5　 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. Your creative corner is “kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your commitment to invest in yourself and your well⁃being.”  A.Focus on one thing you're good at. B.Let it go that you're not an artist. C.Just do whatever you're in the mood for. D.Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art. E.There are rules for how much time you should engage in art. F.The act of creation can reduce stress and improve your mood. G.So despite your skill level, you'll feel all the good things coming with making art. 一 　　Last week the electricity in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea, when all of a sudden I was surrounded by complete darkness. I tried to fix it but failed. I had to wait for an electrician to come in the morning. 　1　  I sat down to eat my half⁃cooked dinner. And then I wasn't really sure what to do. My typical evening is spent watching TV and looking through social media. 　2　 So for me it was an early night. And I couldn't help but think, do we rely too much on electricity? That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity. As basic as running water. 　3　 I use electricity all the time, even when it's not really necessary.  　4　 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, it will soon run out.  So, shouldn't we start preparing for it now? Cutting back on our use of electricity would make losing it easier, and also save energy resources so that they could last longer. 　5　 And if everyone does the same, we can make a big difference.  A.Tonight this wasn't possible. B.Obviously, we can't survive without it. C.Our overuse of electricity is a big problem. D.This left me a whole night without any electricity. E.Electricity brings us convenience and trouble. F.But really, we've grown to take electricity for granted. G.I know for sure that I could cut down on my use of electricity. 二 　　Humans have been known to develop strong connections with dangerous animals. Werner Freund, aged 79, has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves. While why the former soldier became attached to these beautiful wild animals is a little unclear, he has been caring for them since 1972. 　1　 Thus, Werner has the great ability to survive in the period of entering this group of animals and getting along with these cold⁃blooded creatures.  　2　 They touch him with noses, play with him. What's more, they are generally very submissive when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf!  This, however, does not happen by chance. 　3　 Whenever it's feeding time, he calls his pack to come for the raw meat by howling. As the hungry animals rush to get their food, they always meet with this scene. Werner sinks his teeth into the raw meat first.  What may sound a little cruel is how the hierarchy (等级制度) is built in the animal world. 　4　 When he signals, the rest of the pack can join in. Werner's wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority.  Wolves, the largest member of the dog family, are mistakenly believed to be dangerous. 　5　 They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!  A.But in reality they rarely attack humans. B.They are considered as the smartest beasts. C.Werner works on it with a simple act every day. D.Werner seems to know where wolves come from. E.It is always the strongest male that gets the first meal. F.The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own. G.Army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state. 三 How to Choose Your Purpose⁃Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways. 　1　. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as hobbies.  Think about a well⁃paid job that you can do and doesn't sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer? Or maybe that's out of your educational reach, so you choose an office worker or a salesman.　2　 but often they are not something you're really passionate about. It's kind of like just doing something because it's there.  However, there's another way that is perhaps better:　3　. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life or blossom into who they want to be, or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 　4　 and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will feel a sense of purpose each day.  There are endless ways to do that. The point isn't how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose.　5　.  A.These are all great choices B.Think about what you like to do C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people 四 　　How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, 　1　.  The toothbrush was exhibited in Las Vegas. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(Don't forget the insides of the teeth!)and make sure you're brushing long enough. “　2　,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.  　3　, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” says Serval.   Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and his children told him that they had brushed their teeth. He was pleased with their behavior,　4　. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.   The company says the toothbrush will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, depending on features. The U. S. is the first target market. Serval says that one day, it'll be possible to replace the brush with a brushing unit that also has a camera. 　5　.  A.thus awarding them more toothbrushes B.only to find their toothbrush heads dry C.The camera can check more tooth problems D.It can even spray water on your teeth while you brush E.and it lets you track your performance on your phone F.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone G.It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day⁃to⁃day basis 五 　　Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even cease cognitive decline. 　1　 Many Americans don't read frequently. It's time to reverse this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.  　2　 When you have some downtime—you're waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn't require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game. 　3　 While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn't proven that physical books are better than digital ones.  Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: Students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on⁃screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. 　4　  Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn't dismiss paper, electronic, or audio books— 　5　 Don't be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.  A.Audiobooks still affect your thoughts and feelings. B.Go with what makes the most sense for your needs. C.Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence. D.This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. E.Keep a book, an e⁃reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day. F.Despite this, the overall book⁃reading time for Americans is on the decline. G.However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black⁃and⁃white pages. 六 　　If you are thinking about redecorating the home, you are probably searching for interior (内部的) decoration ideas. Redecorating presents a great chance to reflect your personality by displaying your style and interest. It will be easy to redecorate the home if money is not a restriction. 　1　Here are some tips on how to do so:  You can get dozens of interior decoration ideas from countless magazines and TV programs. Some programs tend to show less costly interior decoration ideas.　2　It's a good way of comparing different styles. Here you can make a distinction between the country style and the contemporary style.  If you are fond of a primitive or traditional style, warmer colors are the best for the room. These colors go with all kinds of cloth of old style and wooden furniture.　3　  If you like a modern style, use brighter colors instead of white and off⁃white. Home decoration of the style includes minimum disorder and a lot of free space and light. Leather furniture matches the room: white or black with contrasting cushions(靠垫) per seating place.　4　  　5　 This often occurs anyway, especially if people give you furniture. If you wish to combine different pieces of furniture, you need to bridge the gap between them. This can be done easily with materials like throw pillows, wall hangings and carpets.  A.A white one on a black sofa suits here. B.There is nothing wrong in mixing two styles. C.Another effective and affordable option is by surfing the Internet. D.The combinations and possibilities in the first decoration are endless. E.Autumn colors go well to produce a warm, friendly and pleasant atmosphere. F.Nevertheless, the question for most is how to redecorate the home within limited budget. G.The walls tend to have one or two pieces of wall art. 七 Good Ways to Learn a Foreign Language There are many ways to learn a foreign language.　1　 The following are three agreed⁃upon standard language learning styles.  Immersion learning(沉浸式学习). 　2　 The most common method is to visit a country for a long period of time and learn your desired language naturally through being forced to learn to communicate with your community. Another method is to use a foreign language app on the “foreign” setting. 　3　  Casual learning. This technique is very popular among educators and students.　4　 It is using an app to familiarize yourself with basic vocabulary, phrases, and context of a language. This encourages you to have foreign language awareness in your native surroundings, and use what you have learned to communicate.  Peer⁃to⁃peer language learning. Compared to others, this is a newer trend, especially for adult language learning. The technique means employing a native speaker to explore your community with you and have conversations about what you are seeing and doing.　5　 But it does involve some basic memorization techniques before you are at a starting point to begin working with your individual teacher.  A.So what is casual learning? B.But when to perform casual learning? C.This is similar to immersion learning. D.This technique can be used in multiple ways. E.Learning a foreign language requires patience. F.The best techniques to learn new languages are still under debate. G.Through it, you can receive lessons only in the language of your choice.

Laughed at a silly meme (表情包) on social media?”可知,记录生活中的一些小事也是可以提醒自己生活是值得感激的,不管它们有多小,多微不足道。 3.D　根据下文“Gently explain the effect that they have may bring them round, or simply make sure you're always positive yourself in order to reduce the bad effect of their negativity.”可知,遇到生活中那些满是负能量的人首先要理解,然后说明他们带来的影响。 4.F　根据下文“or eventually cut ties with them entirely”可知,你可能需要限制与他们相处的时间,或者彻底断开联系。 5.G　根据此段的小标题“Create joy in your life”和下文列出的活动可知,要多参加那些使自己快乐的活动。 二 　　Creativity is how you think, explore and reason. We all want it but at times it seems far too out of reach. Here are a handful of ways that give you inspiration. Daydream Your teacher may tell you off for staring out of the window at nothing. 　1　. The scientists recorded brain activity while people lay still, but not asleep, and concluded that daydreaming can help people become better problem⁃solvers. However, if you're simply not paying attention when you should be, that clearly isn't beneficial.  　2　  Be willing to challenge things that you have always done. A group of watermelon farmers had an issue with the way that watermelons were difficult to pack and store. Their round shape meant that they took up a lot of space.“But why do watermelons actually need to be round?” thought the farmers. They began growing the fruit in square glass boxes, thus creating square watermelons. 　3　.  Have a good laugh Believe it or not, more than one study has shown that people who watched a comedy film are much better afterwards at coming up with a creative solution to a problem than those who watched a horror film. It appears that having a good laugh makes us feel more relaxed, which helps the creative process. 　4　. That's because the mind is too focused on survival.  Noise You might imagine that you will be at your most creative if you are able to work in complete silence, but you'd be wrong. For most creative tasks, a low level of noise, like the chatter that you get in a café, is best. 　5　, but when you want to come up with ideas, try a little hubbub (喧闹).  A.Think outside the box B.Face challenges with courage C.It is very difficult to be creative when you're stressed D.They quickly win the market back and make larger profits E.They just needed to think differently to find the perfect solution F.Complete silence is good when you need to focus on a difficult task G.But having a wandering mind may be a sign of intelligence and creativity [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。主题语境:人与自我。 主旨:激发创造力的方法和策略。 1.G　过渡句。上文讲你可能会因为走神或做白日梦而受责备,下文讲走神或做白日梦可以帮助人们更好地解决问题,上下文有转折关系,G项“But having a wandering mind may be a sign of intelligence and creativity”承上启下,且句中“wandering mind”照应标题“Daydream”和上文“staring out of the window at nothing”。 2.A　主旨句。下文讲述瓜农创造性地种植方西瓜,从而解决了西瓜难于打包和储存的问题,由此可知创造力的培养需要跳出固有思维模式,这与A项“Think outside the box (打破固有思维模式)”吻合。 3.D　细节句。上文讲为了解决西瓜难于打包和储存的问题,瓜农创造性地种植方西瓜。D项“They quickly win the market back and make larger profits”与上文构成顺承关系。 4.C　过渡句。选项C “It is very difficult to be creative when you're stressed”与下文“That's because the mind is too focused on survival.”构成因果关系,说明了有压力时很难有创造力的原因,与上文“It appears that having a good laugh makes us feel more relaxed, which helps the creative process.”构成对比关系,符合语境。 5.F　细节句。根据连词but可知,上下文有转折关系,F项“Complete silence is good when you need to focus on a difficult task”讲安静的好处,符合语境。 三 　　If you can create a perfect flower arrangement for the next dinner party, it will undoubtedly be the center of attraction. 　1　 There are some ways to create beautiful flower arrangements based on seasonal fragrant flowers, and some green leaves.  Select the perfect flowers.

[语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。主题语境:人与自我。 主旨:如何做出完美的插花。 1.C　细节句。根据上文“如果你能为下一次晚宴创造一个完美的插花,它无疑将是吸引人的焦点。”可推知空格处应补充说明完美插花的好处,这与C项“Flowers can always improve the feeling of mind.”吻合。 2.E　细节句。根据空后“……你可以选择多种颜色的康乃馨、天竺葵和郁金香”可推知,空格处应指出选择时需要考虑花的颜色,这与E项“Moreover, all of these flowers are available in several colors.”内容吻合。其中 these flowers指的是前一句的fresh flowers。 3.B　主旨句。本段主要说明插花需要看起来自然,这与B项“Keep the flower arrangement natural.”吻合。 4.G　过渡句。空格前提到插花中加入热带花的好处,空格后举例说明如何根据需要选择热带花,由此推断空格处内容应是建议在插花中选用热带花,这与G项相符。其中such flowers指代前文的tropical flowers。 5.F　细节句。本段讲述插花的形状。空格前提到你还需要梗来帮助你塑造形状,F项“They will contribute to achieving the overall beauty of the arrangement.”承接上文说明了使用梗的好处:有助于实现布置的整体美感。其中They指代前文的stalks。 四 　　No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. 　1　 From the day you leave your parents' house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.  If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions.　2　However, it doesn't change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life. Even if it's not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond.  　3　 If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That's because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success were easy, everybody would be successful.  There is nothing that you can't achieve with hard work. People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical events in the future.　4　 Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don't change what you do daily.  A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office?　5　  A.But that is not the case. B.No one else is responsible for your life. C.Now these questions seem like magic to you. D.Nothing else can be the drive for your success. E.Once you answer these questions, you know what to do. F.The biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance. G.You can blame other people for your lack of happiness all life long. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。 主题语境:人与自我。主旨:如何过上成功生活的建议。 1.B　过渡句。根据上文“没有人能为你爬上成功的阶梯”和下文“从你离开父母家的那一天起,你就要为自己的生活和所作的选择负责”可知,设空处内容强调我们要对自己负责,这与B项“没有其他人对你的生活负责”吻合,其中responsible是关键词。 2.G　细节句。根据下文“然而,这并没有改变什么。只有你能通过改变自己的选择来改变自己的人生”可推知,设空处陈述了一种我们常常做但却没有任何意义、不能对自己的人生作出任何改变的行为。G项“你可以将一生的不幸福归咎于他人”符合题意,下文的it指代选项所陈述的内容。 3.F　主旨句。根据下文可知,成功需要牺牲,选择简单和乐趣是不能成功的。由此推知,设空处提出成功忌讳选择简单容易的方式。F项“成功的最大敌人是阻力最小的道路”符合题意,其中the path of least resistance对应下文的what is fun and easy。 4.A　过渡句。根据上下文可知,生活不会因为一些神奇的事情而改变,除非你自己作出改变。由此推知,设空处陈述上文提到的情况并非事实。A项“但事实并非如此”承上启下,符合语境。 5.E　总结句。上文提出了三个问题。由此推知,设空处陈述的内容应与这三个问题相关。E项“一旦你回答了这些问题,你就知道该怎么做了”符合语境,these questions指上文的三个问题。 五 　　During my stay in Hawaii for further studies in 1983—1984, I saw many Japanese tourists enjoying the sun and sand on Waikiki Beach or shopping in the malls. 　1　  At that time the monthly income of an average Chinese worker was about 30 yuan—the exchange rate then was about 2 yuan to one US dollar—not enough to even make ends meet for most of the families. 　2　  But that dream has come true. About 10 years ago, when I visited Hawaii again to attend a conference hosted by the East⁃West Center, I found Chinese tourists had replaced Japanese tourists both on the beach and in the malls. 　3　  The country's rapid economic development has enabled millions of Chinese people to travel abroad. In 2019, Chinese people made 155 million overseas visits, making China the top source of outbound tourists in the world, far ahead of second⁃ and third⁃placed Germany and the United States. Chinese tourists spend about $130 billion abroad every year. 　4　 Chinese tourists today can be found in all the corners of the world, from Waikiki Beach to the Sahara Desert, from the Arctic to the Antarctic.  　5　 At that time some Chinese, who had relatives in Singapore and Thailand, were given visas to travel to those countries if the relatives sponsored their visits. The same mode was adopted for those who had relatives in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and, later, Taiwan, China.  A.The trend started 30 years ago. B.Chinese tourists prefer guided tours. C.Only the Chinese tourists were shopping more crazily. D.They spend more than tourists from any other country. E.As a result, traveling abroad was a dream for most Chinese. F.As a student from a poor country, I hoped someday the tourists would include Chinese. G.And most of those who travel in groups are retired people or inexperienced, young tourists. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。主题语境:人与社会。 主旨:中国人出国旅游的历史及其快速发展。 1.F　过渡句。由上文1983—1984年作者在夏威夷进修期间见到的日本游客游玩的情况,及下文对中国人当时的收入的介绍可推知,空处应是作者希望有朝一日中国人也能出国度假。这与F项中“I hoped someday the tourists would include Chinese” 吻合。 2.E　过渡句。上文描写了那个时候中国人收入很低,大多数家庭入不敷出,由此推断空处应是中国人收入低导致没办法出国旅游,这与E项“As a result, traveling abroad was a dream for most Chinese.”吻合,且选项中的dream和下文的dream相呼应。 3.C　细节句。上文讲述当作者再次访问夏威夷时,发现中国游客已经取代了日本游客。C项“Only the Chinese tourists were shopping more crazily.”承接上文,进一步描写中国游客取代日本游客的情况。需要注意的是这里容易误选D项,但是D项用的是一般现在时,说的是现在的情况,而非十年前的情况。 4.D　细节句。上文说中国游客每年在国外花费大约一千三百亿美元,这一数字当数全世界第一。D项“They spend more than tourists from any other country.” 承接上文,进一步说明了中国游客每年在国外消费很多。 5.A　主旨句。根据空处下一句中的“At that time”可知,空处应该是描写出国旅游这一趋势开始的时间。A项“The trend started 30 years ago.”符合语境,其中“30 years ago”和下句中的“At that time”相呼应。 六 　　Whether it's painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. 　1　 But you don't have to be a full⁃time artist to get those health benefits. All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. Here are things you need to know to start your creative art habit.  　2　 “We tend to think that only people who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 　3　  Start with what you enjoy—maybe something you've done before, maybe something you loved as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don't feel like you have to stick to one thing. 　4　  Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 　5　 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. Your creative corner is “kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your commitment to invest in yourself and your well⁃being.”  A.Focus on one thing you're good at. B.Let it go that you're not an artist. C.Just do whatever you're in the mood for. D.Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art. E.There are rules for how much time you should engage in art. F.The act of creation can reduce stress and improve your mood. G.So despite your skill level, you'll feel all the good things coming with making art. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。 主题语境:人与自我。主旨:艺术创作对健康有好处以及开始培养艺术创作习惯的建议。 1.F　细节句。根据上文“无论是画画,还是用黏土雕刻小纸杯蛋糕,艺术创作对你的身心都有好处”可知,本句承接上文具体说明艺术创作有哪些好处,这与F项中“reduce stress and improve your mood”相符。 2.B　主旨句。下文提到一般认为只有擅长艺术的人才能称自己为艺术家。但每个人都能进行创作表达,并且经验丰富的艺术家和新手在艺术创作对健康的影响方面没有差异,故B选项“摒弃‘你不是一个艺术家’这个想法”符合语境。 3.G　细节句。上文提到经验丰富的艺术家和新手在艺术创作对健康的影响方面没有差异,空处应承接上文。G项“所以不管你的技术水平如何,你会感受到艺术创作带来的所有好处”符合语境。 4.C　细节句。上文提到从喜欢的事情开始,保持开放的心态,任何能激发你创造性思维的事都对你有好处,而且不要觉得必须坚持一件事。故C项“你想做什么就做什么”符合语境。 5.D　过渡句。前文提到你应为艺术创作留出时间,后文提到了创作角落,即在家里留出艺术创作的空间。D项符合语境。 一 　　Last week the electricity in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea, when all of a sudden I was surrounded by complete darkness. I tried to fix it but failed. I had to wait for an electrician to come in the morning. 　1　  I sat down to eat my half⁃cooked dinner. And then I wasn't really sure what to do. My typical evening is spent watching TV and looking through social media. 　2　 So for me it was an early night. And I couldn't help but think, do we rely too much on electricity? That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity. As basic as running water. 　3　 I use electricity all the time, even when it's not really necessary.  　4　 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, it will soon run out.  So, shouldn't we start preparing for it now? Cutting back on our use of electricity would make losing it easier, and also save energy resources so that they could last longer. 　5　 And if everyone does the same, we can make a big difference.  A.Tonight this wasn't possible. B.Obviously, we can't survive without it. C.Our overuse of electricity is a big problem. D.This left me a whole night without any electricity. E.Electricity brings us convenience and trouble. F.But really, we've grown to take electricity for granted. G.I know for sure that I could cut down on my use of electricity. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:记叙文。 主题语境:人与自我。 主旨:一场突如其来的停电让作者意识到电的宝贵,也使作者开始反思自己浪费电的行为,呼吁人们节约用电。 1.D　细节句。上文提到突然停电,“我”想修但没修好,电工要早上才能来。D选项“这使我一个晚上都没有电”是上文的结果。 2.A　过渡句。上一句提到:平时我都是通过看电视和浏览社交媒体来度过晚上的。下一句提到:所以对我而言,这是一个早睡的晚上。A选项“今天晚上,这不可能了”是停电的结果,承上启下。 3.F　过渡句。上文提到电像自来水一样是必需的。下一句提到:我一直使用电,甚至在不是真的需要的时候。上下文与F选项“但是真的,我们逐渐把电当成了理所当然的东西”相吻合。 4.C　主旨句。下一句提到:它导致了全球变暖。再结合上一段段末提到自己浪费电的情况可知,该空应指浪费电是一个大问题。故选C项。 5.G　细节句。由下一句提到的“And if everyone does the same”可知,该句应当提到做什么,故G选项“我很确定我能削减对电的使用”符合上下文逻辑。 二 　　Humans have been known to develop strong connections with dangerous animals. Werner Freund, aged 79, has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves. While why the former soldier became attached to these beautiful wild animals is a little unclear, he has been caring for them since 1972. 　1　 Thus, Werner has the great ability to survive in the period of entering this group of animals and getting along with these cold⁃blooded creatures.  　2　 They touch him with noses, play with him. What's more, they are generally very submissive when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf!  This, however, does not happen by chance. 　3　 Whenever it's feeding time, he calls his pack to come for the raw meat by howling. As the hungry animals rush to get their food, they always meet with this scene. Werner sinks his teeth into the raw meat first.  What may sound a little cruel is how the hierarchy (等级制度) is built in the animal world. 　4　 When he signals, the rest of the pack can join in. Werner's wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority.  Wolves, the largest member of the dog family, are mistakenly believed to be dangerous. 　5　 They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!  A.But in reality they rarely attack humans. B.They are considered as the smartest beasts. C.Werner works on it with a simple act every day. D.Werner seems to know where wolves come from. E.It is always the strongest male that gets the first meal. F.The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own. G.Army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:记叙文。主题语境:人与自然。主旨:老兵Werner和狼和谐共处的故事。 1.G　过渡句。根据上下文可知,空格处承上启下,说明以前的从军经历对他的能力的影响。空前的“former soldier”呼应G选项中的Army experience,空后的“Thus”“the great ability”与G选项中的“a strong body and energetic state”呼应。 2.F　主旨句。根据下文“They touch him with noses, play with him. What's more, they are generally very submissive when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf!”可知,空后的They指代的是F项中提到的wolves,本段最后的“just like they would be around a head wolf”与选项F中的“as if he were one of their own”呼应。 3.C　细节句。根据上文“This, however, does not happen by chance.”可知,这件事并非偶然发生,下文提到他给狼群生肉吃。所以选项C符合语境,说明发生的原因。 4.E　过渡句。上文提到动物之中有等级制度,空处应继续讲等级制度的具体表现,下文又提到Werner示意后狼才能去吃。这与E项:It is always the strongest male that gets the first meal.相吻合。 5.A　过渡句。 上文与下文形成转折关系,空处应说明其实狼并不是很危险,这与A项“But in reality they rarely attack humans.”相吻合。 三 How to Choose Your Purpose⁃Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways. 　1　. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as hobbies.  Think about a well⁃paid job that you can do and doesn't sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer? Or maybe that's out of your educational reach, so you choose an office worker or a salesman.　2　 but often they are not something you're really passionate about. It's kind of like just doing something because it's there.  However, there's another way that is perhaps better:　3　. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life or blossom into who they want to be, or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 　4　 and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will feel a sense of purpose each day.  There are endless ways to do that. The point isn't how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose.　5　.  A.These are all great choices B.Think about what you like to do C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。主题语境:人与自我。主旨:如何选择富有意义的职业。 1.B　上文When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways(当你考虑择业时,你通常会用以下两种方式来选择)说明接下来将会分别介绍两种选择职业的方法。下文If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things(如果你喜欢写作或做工艺品,你可以考虑这些事情)说明可以把自己喜欢做的事当成职业。B项Think about what you like to do(想想你喜欢做什么)符合语境。 2.A　上文介绍了一些报酬丰厚的职业选择。结合下文but often they are not something you're really passionate about(但它们往往不是你真正感兴趣的事情)可知A项These are all great choices(这些都是很好的选择)符合语境。 3.E　根据上文However, there's another way that is perhaps better(然而,还有一种可能更好的方法)可知接下来要讲另一种选择职业的办法。下文列举了一些更有意义的选择。E项Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better(努力做点事情来服务社区或者让世界变得更好)承上启下,符合语境。 4.D　设空处上文列举了很多有意义的职业,下文说明选择有意义的职业的好处。D项Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose(这些中的每一个都只是众多充满意义的可能性中的一种)符合语境。 5.G　 上文说明选择有意义的工作带给你好处。G项If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people进一步说明选择一份有意义的工作带给你的好处,即比大部分人走得更远,符合语境。 四 　　How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, 　1　.  The toothbrush was exhibited in Las Vegas. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(Don't forget the insides of the teeth!)and make sure you're brushing long enough. “　2　,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.  　3　, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” says Serval.   Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and his children told him that they had brushed their teeth. He was pleased with their behavior,　4　. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.   The company says the toothbrush will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, depending on features. The U. S. is the first target market. Serval says that one day, it'll be possible to replace the brush with a brushing unit that also has a camera. 　5　.  A.thus awarding them more toothbrushes B.only to find their toothbrush heads dry C.The camera can check more tooth problems D.It can even spray water on your teeth while you brush E.and it lets you track your performance on your phone F.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone G.It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day⁃to⁃day basis [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。 主题语境:人与社会。 主旨:一种能够检查人们刷牙状况的新型智能牙刷。 1.E　根据上文中An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush及下文中It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth connection.可知,空格处应该是介绍这种电动牙刷的功能。E项and it lets you track your performance on your phone(并且它能让你在手机上追踪你的表现)符合上下文语境。 2.G　根据上文可知,这种牙刷会教你正确地刷牙,确保你刷牙的时间足够长,这有点像牙医每天监视你刷牙,故选G。 3.F　上文The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(这种牙刷会教你正确地刷牙)讲述了牙刷的功能。本空处于段首,同样讲述牙刷的功能。结合下文可知F项The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone(这种牙刷也可以和你手机上的其他应用程序交互)符合上下文语境。 4.B　根据上文his children told him that they had brushed their teeth. He was pleased with their behavior(他的孩子们告诉他他们已经刷过牙了。他对他们的行为很满意)及下文中He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed(他判断他需要一把刷子来真正告诉他他的孩子们牙刷得怎么样)可判断选B项only to find their toothbrush heads dry(却发现他们的牙刷头是干的)符合上下文语境。 5.C　根据上文it'll be possible to replace the brush with a brushing unit that also has a camera可知,接下来讲述的是带摄像头的牙刷的好处。故C项The camera can check more tooth problems(摄像头能检查更多的牙齿问题)符合语境。 五 　　Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even cease cognitive decline. 　1　 Many Americans don't read frequently. It's time to reverse this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.  　2　 When you have some downtime—you're waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn't require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game. 　3　 While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn't proven that physical books are better than digital ones.  Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: Students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on⁃screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. 　4　  Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn't dismiss paper, electronic, or audio books— 　5　 Don't be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.  A.Audiobooks still affect your thoughts and feelings. B.Go with what makes the most sense for your needs. C.Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence. D.This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. E.Keep a book, an e⁃reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day. F.Despite this, the overall book⁃reading time for Americans is on the decline. G.However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black⁃and⁃white pages. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。 主题语境:人与自我。主旨:阅读的好处、如何利用空闲时间读书以及与书籍载体有关的研究。 1.F　 空格前谈到阅读的好处,空格后则说很多美国人不经常读书,可知此处表示“尽管如此,美国人总的阅读时间正在下降”。 2.E　 后文列举了利用空闲时间阅读的几种情况,可推断空格处建议随身带上书籍,故E选项符合语境。 3.D　后文提到了纸质书更受舆论的欢迎,但没有证据表明实体书比数字书更好,由此可知此处涉及纸质书、电子书和有声书的对比,故选D。 4.G　上文提到阅读纸上的文字和屏幕上的文字之间并不存在任何有意义的区别,且提到了有声书对大脑的影响,本句为本段最后一句,应继续说有声书对大脑的影响。G选项中they指代上文的audiobooks。 5.B　上文提到不应该放弃纸质书、电子书和有声书,后文说根据不同场合做出改变,可知空格处说明应该根据需要来做出选择。 六 　　If you are thinking about redecorating the home, you are probably searching for interior (内部的) decoration ideas. Redecorating presents a great chance to reflect your personality by displaying your style and interest. It will be easy to redecorate the home if money is not a restriction. 　1　Here are some tips on how to do so:  You can get dozens of interior decoration ideas from countless magazines and TV programs. Some programs tend to show less costly interior decoration ideas.　2　It's a good way of comparing different styles. Here you can make a distinction between the country style and the contemporary style.  If you are fond of a primitive or traditional style, warmer colors are the best for the room. These colors go with all kinds of cloth of old style and wooden furniture.　3　  If you like a modern style, use brighter colors instead of white and off⁃white. Home decoration of the style includes minimum disorder and a lot of free space and light. Leather furniture matches the room: white or black with contrasting cushions(靠垫) per seating place.　4　  　5　 This often occurs anyway, especially if people give you furniture. If you wish to combine different pieces of furniture, you need to bridge the gap between them. This can be done easily with materials like throw pillows, wall hangings and carpets.  A.A white one on a black sofa suits here. B.There is nothing wrong in mixing two styles. C.Another effective and affordable option is by surfing the Internet. D.The combinations and possibilities in the first decoration are endless. E.Autumn colors go well to produce a warm, friendly and pleasant atmosphere. F.Nevertheless, the question for most is how to redecorate the home within limited budget. G.The walls tend to have one or two pieces of wall art. [语篇解读] 语篇类型:说明文。 主题语境:人与自我。 主旨:如何利用重新装修展示个人风格和兴趣。 1.F　上文It will be easy to redecorate the home if money is not a restriction.(如果钱不是限制的话,重新装修住所会很容易。)与F项Nevertheless, the question for most is how to redecorate the home within limited budget.(然而,对大多数人来说,问题是如何在有限的预算内重新装修住所。)衔接自然,都谈到和装修有关的资金问题,其中money和budget为关键词,故选F项。 2.C　上文提到了一种建议:get...ideas from...,而C项Another effective and affordable option is by surfing the Internet.中的关键词Another承接上文,前后介绍了两种寻找装修方法的途径,故选C项。 3.E　上文These colors go with all kinds of cloth of old style and wooden furniture.(这些颜色与各种旧式布料和木制家具相配。)与E项Autumn colors go well to produce a warm, friendly and pleasant atmosphere.(秋天的颜色很适合产生一种温暖、友好和愉快的气氛。)相呼应,前后话题一致,其中colors是关键词,属于原词复现,故选E项。 4.A　上文white or black with contrasting cushions per seating place与A项A white one on a black sofa suits here.相呼应,其中white和black是关键词,属于原词复现,故选A项。 5.B　根据下文If you wish to combine different pieces of furniture, you need to bridge the gap between them.可知,本段主题是把不同风格的家具混合在一起,故B项There is nothing wrong in mixing two styles.(把两种风格混在一起没有问题。)可作为本段主题句。 七 Good Ways to Learn a Foreign Language There are many ways to learn a foreign language.　1　 The following are three agreed⁃upon standard language learning styles.  Immersion learning(沉浸式学习). 　2　 The most common method is to visit a country for a long period of time and learn your desired language naturally through being forced to learn to communicate with your community. Another method is to use a foreign language app on the “foreign” setting. 　3　  Casual learning. This technique is very popular among educators and students.　4　 It is using an app to familiarize yourself with basic vocabulary, phrases, and context of a language. This encourages you to have foreign language awareness in your native surroundings, and use what you have learned to communicate.  Peer⁃to⁃peer language learning. Compared to others, this is a newer trend, especially for adult language learning. The technique means employing a native speaker to explore your community with you and have conversations about what you are seeing and doing.　5　 But it does involve some basic memorization techniques before you are at a starting point to begin working with your individual teacher.  A.So what is casual learning? B.But when to perform casual learning? C.This is similar to immersion learning. D.This technique can be used in multiple ways. E.Learning a foreign language requires patience. F.The best techniques to learn new languages are still under debate. G.Through it, you can receive lessons only in the language of your choice. [语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍的是学习一门外语的好方法。 1.F　根据上下文可知,学习外语的方法有很多种,到底哪些方法是最好的还有争议,而本文介绍的三种方法是公认的标准的外语学习方式。F项符合语境。 2.D　根据后文的“The most common method is...on the ‘foreign’ setting.”可知,此处讲述的是沉浸式学习有很多种方法。D选项中的This technique指的是前文的 “Immersion learning”,同时“multiple ways”对应下文的两种方法。 3.G　根据前文的“Another method is to use a foreign language app on the ‘foreign’ setting.”可知,在应用程序上进行设置,就可以只听用指定的语言讲的课。G选项“Through it, you can receive lessons only in the language of your choice.”符合语境。 4.A　根据空前的“Casual learning. This technique is very popular among educators and students.”可知,本段主要探讨的是casual learning这一语言学习方法。空后是对这一方法的具体解释。A选项“So what is casual learning?”符合本段的主旨,承上启下。 5.C　根据语境可知,在以某种外语为母语的人的帮助下学习与沉浸式学习相似,但它又不同于沉浸式学习,因为它还涉及一些基本的记忆技巧。C选项“This is similar to immersion learning.”符合上下文语境。 ( 2 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
