Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 37 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don’t often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don’t want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___36___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___37___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___38___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● ___39___ 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. ___40___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is moderation (适度)? Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 36 But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. 37 It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, “specially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. 38
Control emotional (情绪的) eating. 39 Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
40 A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14 — 16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A. Eat properly throughout the day.
B. We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C. Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D. Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G. That won't lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.
二、阅读理解七选五超实用技法妙招
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 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然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
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
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句

(23-24高二下·江苏宿迁·期中)Attending a concert is an activity appealing to many. However, as a first-timer, you probably feel anxious about entering a heavily crowded space with overexcited music enthusiasts. The following tips may help you enjoy the experience.
Buy tickets in advance.
1 , there’s a high chance that tickets may sell out before you can buy them if you don’t get a head start. In addition, ticket prices are likely to be lower during the pre-selling period.
Wear comfortable clothes.
Attending a concert will be an exhausting experience. 2 . Thus, it is vital that when you go to a concert, you dress comfortably. It is also essential to wear a pair of comfortable shoes.
3 .
Waiting outside the venue for eight hours is not what you should do, but you should be reasonable and get to the venue ahead of time. Getting there early will have its own advantages. 4 .
Have your phone fully charged.
You’ll want your phone fully charged for taking photos and videos, contacting any friends you’ll be attending with, booking a ride home, and other necessary tasks on the day of the concert. 5 , consider packing a power bank just in case.
A. Head to the venue early
B. Research the venue ahead of time
C. You can find a good spot for yourself
D. If the concert is of music by a popular artist
E. Since there probably won’t be any plugs at the venue
F. Because you book your ticket from a reliable company
G. You may have to stand the whole night and wait in long queues
(23-24高二上·安徽合肥·期末)We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back. What’s the deal? While being left on read (已读不回) can be confusing, it’s also pretty common. 6 Here are a few tips.
Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren’t aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. 7 They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it.
Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. 8 If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.
Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! 9
10 Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind. Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.
A. Put your phone away.
B. Fix your attention closely on text responses.
C. Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.
D. They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now.
E. Ask yourself why being left on “read” frustrates or confuses you.
F. You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.
G. You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.
(23-24高二上·广西·阶段练习)When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 11 Here are four more.
Ignore the context
12 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired.
Find meaning in a single gesture
People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 13 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.
Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)
A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 14
Compare your behavior with their culture
Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 15 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.
Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.
A. Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
B. They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.
C. What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.
D. In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.
E. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
F. Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.
G. Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.

(22-23高二上·全国·单元测试)Whether we’re sad about the loss of a loved one or angry at friends or family, it often feels good to let the emotions all out because sharing our emotions reduces our stress and helps us feel good. 1 Expressing our emotions often to others may actually make us feel worse, especially if we don’t find a way to comfort ourselves.
2 . This led to a movement to “let it all out”, with experts telling people to hit soft objects, like pillows, to release (释放) negative feelings. It turns out, however, that this type of emotional venting (发泄) likely doesn’t reduce anger. That’s because encouraging people to act out their anger makes them relive it in their bodies, making it easier to get angry the next time. 3 .
Being selective when you express your emotions is a good way. There’re many ways to deal with difficult emotions and not all of them involve other people. 4 , such as writing your thoughts down or changing your environment to help you handle your emotions.
When you share your emotions with others, remind them to offer suggestions. Ask them questions like “ 5 ?” or “What should I do in this situation?” This will make them know that you’re looking for something more than a listening ear.
A. Does expressing my feelings actually help
B. How should I think about this differently
C. Actually sometimes you can find solutions on your own
D. But sharing covers many different modes of communication
E. So it’s important to choose a healthier way to express emotions
F. However, we should try hard to seek support from those around us
G. Experts used to believe negative emotions needed to be released physically
(22-23高二·安徽·阶段练习)Every October, families rush to the farms to pick out the perfect pumpkins. Some use them to carve scary jack-o’-lanterns, 6 . Unfortunately, the fascination with the colorful fruit disappears once Halloween ends, and most pumpkins end up in the dustbin.
A 2020 survey carried out by the UK-based non-profit organization found that over fifty percent of the 24 million Halloween pumpkins that British citizens bought that year were thrown into the landfill. 7 , where about a billion pounds of pumpkins get thrown out and left to rot (腐烂) in landfills annually. In addition to a lot of food waste generated, the rotting fruit also emits large amounts of methane—a greenhouse gas even more powerful than carbon dioxide.
8 We can all help reduce the food waste by keeping the eatable parts of the fruit during carving. Roasted pumpkin seeds make a nutritious snack, while the flesh can be transformed into a delicious soup, a tasty puree, or a lip-smacking pie.
Once Halloween is over, drop your jack-o’-lanterns at a local compost (堆肥) collection center if possible. Better still, see if your city or town hosts a pumpkin smashing (打碎) event and have fun throwing yours on the ground with your friends. Don’t worry, 9
10 . Fill your hollowed-out pumpkins with grains and leave them in the yard or hanging from a tree for birds, squirrels, and other garden visitors to enjoy. If your pumpkin is too far gone to save, bury it in your backyard—your garden will be all the happier for it.
A. Meanwhile, things are no better in the U.S.
B. Fortunately, this pollution problem is easy to solve
C. while others place them outside their homes as decorations
D. Halloween pumpkins are nothing more than overgrown vegetables
E. pumpkins used as decorations could also be used as a snack for wildlife
F. And there are many other ways to ensure the fruit does not end up in landfills
G. the remains will be collected and composted once all the pumpkins have been smashed
(23-24高三下·海南省直辖县级单位·开学考试)Some of the oldest living things on our remarkable planet are trees. The record holders are bristlecone pines (狐尾松) of the western United States, quite a few of which are known to be more than 3,000 years old. One individual, discovered in 2012, is estimated to be more than 5,060 years old, making it the oldest known non-clonal tree in the world! 11 : individuals across a number of other tree species have also been around for thousands of years.
So, how do trees survive for thousands of years? 12 . Undoubtedly, part of the answer lies in luck. Ancient trees have obviously not submitted to deadly diseases, pests, fires, droughts, windstorms, landslides, or the human axe in the centuries and centuries that they have quietly endured.
The other part of the answer has to do with how trees age. In fact, there is quite a debate about whether ancient trees can be considered “immortal (永生的)”. That is, will such trees ever die if they are not killed by an outside force? We may never know the answer to that, but, at the very least, 13 . While cell death is an important factor in the aging of humans and other animals, one study found little evidence of cell death in the ginkgo tree vascular cambium (银杏树维管形成层). In addition, a study of bristlecone pine pollen (花粉) found no significant increase in mutation (变异) rates with age, which is another factor associated with animal aging. 14 .
Older trees benefit greatly from having bodies made mostly of dead woody tissue. In fact, an old tree might be as much as 95 percent dead tissue! Given that it isn’t alive, wood does not require metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity to maintain it, 15 .
A. so an old tree doesn’t really need to do much to keep living
B. This is a question that has something to do with the good luck of trees
C. However, bristlecones are certainly not alone in terms of the oldest creatures
D. This is a fascinating question for biologists that does not yet have a settled answer
E. What’s more, some ancient trees have superior chemical defenses against pests and diseases
F. which means that trees can survive everywhere without being limited by external and internal conditions
G. we know that ancient trees age in ways that are dramatically different from the ways that most animals and even other plants age

(23-24高二下·河南焦作·期中)Gratitude, which is a positive emotional state, can have a profound impact on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Gratitude offers us a way of embracing (拥抱) all that makes our lives what they are. 1 It includes the willingness to expand our attention so that we perceive more of the goodness we are always receiving.
Robert Emmons is one of the world’s leading experts on the science of gratitude. 2 The first is an affirmation of goodness: People can learn to wake up to the good around them and notice the gifts they have received. The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself — we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world. 3
In one study involving nearly 300 adults seeking counseling services at a university, one group wrote a gratitude letter each week for three weeks. The gratitude group reported significantly better mental health (compared to the control group), 12 weeks after the last writing exercise. 4 A study of this practice found that people who wrote down three things that had gone well in their day and identified the causes of those good things were significantly happier and less depressed.
5 When you practice gratitude, you shift your thoughts away from negative emotions and uncomfortable sensations. Instead, you begin to focus on good things that you may have overlooked. Rather than focusing on the misfortune of having a flat tire, for example, you consider how your job has made it possible to pay for repairs. Or you shift your focus to how fortunate you are to have close friends who are willing to drive you home.
A. He defines gratitude as having two parts.
B. A little gratitude can do wonders for your mood.
C. Gratitude isn’t just a happy feeling for our present lives.
D. However, many people don’t realize the power of gratitude.
E. Another type of written gratitude practice is counting blessings.
F. Gratitude doesn’t necessarily mean showing appreciation for the things that are around you.
G. In other words, gratitude helps realize they wouldn’t be where they are without the help of others.
(23-24高二下·河北邢台·期中)You may be feeling a mix of emotions — nervousness, depression and maybe even a little bit of fear about your coming exam. 6 But remember that you are not alone in these feelings. Your family, friends and teachers are all here to support you every step of the way. Here are a few strategies to help you with the big feelings.
It’s normal to have those big feelings ahead of a big event. When they start to bubble up inside you, remember to take a deep breath. Think about the times when you’ve overcome challenges before and how proud you felt afterwards. You are capable of so much more than you realize. 7
If you’re stressed about an exam, try talking to someone who tend to be laid back, empathetic, and supportive, whether it’s a parent, teacher, or friend. Open up about how you’re feeling and ask them for support. 8 It can make them feel a little less overwhelming.
You must find a balance between your schoolwork and your life. Try doing something you enjoy, like listening or dancing to music, drawing, going for a walk, or hitting or kicking a ball outside. Take breaks and do things that make you happy. 9 You could also try practising some relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or mindfulness meditation (冥想). Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a calm and peaceful place, where all your worries melt away.
10 It’s okay to feel nervous or worried, but try not to be too hard on yourself. You are doing the best you can and that’s all anyone can ask for.
A. Get those emotions out in the open.
B. You are amazing just the way you are.
C. Those can help keep those big feelings in check.
D. Remind yourself of all the things that make you special.
E. The exam is just one small part of your learning journey.
F. It’s normal to feel this way when faced with something challenging.
G. Most importantly, remember to be kind to yourself during this time.
(23-24高二下·江苏徐州·期中)With the deepening integration of our lives into the digital era, it’s more critical than ever to sustain the flame of personal interactions, of which small talk is an indispensable part. 11 Here are the techniques to conquer the ability to make small talk effectively.
Effective small talk is built on the principle of sincere interest. Genuine interest is about actively striving to comprehend the other individual, respecting their viewpoints, and acknowledging the uniqueness they contribute to the conversation. 12
13 In the midst of a conversation, be attentive to the speaker’s bodily language, facial movements, and the tone of voice. Such signals provide valuable insights into their emotions and intentions. Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also paves the way for a deeper relationship by respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style.
Actually listening and connecting with someone is essential for a conversation. By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say. 14 Ask follow-up questions to show that you value their insights. This depth of engagement lays the foundation for a more meaningful connection.
At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity (真实性) of your engagement. Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable. Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted(照本宣科的) responses. 15 In the world of small talk, authenticity is the key that unlocks the door to deeper connections and more fulfilling interactions.
A. Instead, let your true self shine through.
B. Some accessible topics are great for small talk.
C. Active listening involves fully engaging with the speaker.
D. Small talk has the potential to form profound relationships.
E. Beyond spoken words, small talk involves the art of observation.
F. Focus on understanding their viewpoints beyond simply hearing words.
G. By showing authentic curiosity, you make the other person feel seen and appreciated.

(22-23高二下·安徽·开学考试)There’s that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. 1 , it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music.
I recently went to a concert with some other musicians in town (many of whom I was meeting for the first time). 2 , I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
3 . And I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, we didn’t consider how to show ourselves off. 4 .
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common; which is to see past their own values, and to listen to/connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I’ve realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more compassionate and caring person.
So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me how to be a more caring person. 5 , but also through my music, and to those who listen.
A. When I used to connect with other musicians
B. Therefore, as you become more kind and sympathetic
C. Because of this, our music was better than ever before
D. There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts
E. I often find music moves me to be open and connect with others
F. There are languages that are universal, music and kindness are two of those languages
G. As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can bring joy to not only those in my daily life
(22-23高三上·四川遂宁·阶段练习)Humans have been known to develop strong connections with dangerous animals. Werner Freund has spent several decades 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. The army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state. 6 .
7 They touch him with noses, and play with him.What’s more, they are generally very submissive(卑躬屈膝的) when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf!
This, however, does not happen by chance. 8 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 position of hierarchy(等级制度) is built in the animal world. 9 When he signals, the rest of the pack can join in. Wemer’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. 10
They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Little 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. Therefore, Werner can survive the wolves and get along with these cold-blooded creatures.
(21-22高二下·河北衡水·期中)I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested. 11
I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vernont. At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. 12 When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vermont.
A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix. 13 And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. Most of our hikes only last 2 hours.
Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path 14 But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone.
15 It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life.
A. I've fallen in love with climbing mountains.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 37 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don’t often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don’t want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以及从中获得的乐趣。
36.上文“If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(如果你想发表,提交一份完美的、专业的手稿是至关重要的)”提到了完美的、专业的手稿的重要性,手稿中不能有语法和拼写错误是专业的手稿的要求之一。F选项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.(这意味着语法正确,没有拼写错误。)”是对手稿要求的进一步解释说明,符合题意。故选F项。
37.上文“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.(我不相信我笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。)”提到了作者不相信电脑的拼写检查器;下文“Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.(当然,现在有很多在线词典和同义词库,但我是一个守旧的人,更喜欢精装的书和能用手指翻阅的书页。)”提到了作者更喜欢实体书和能用手指翻阅的书页,说明电子设备可能不会考虑上下文,所以B选项“It takes no account of the context.(它不考虑上下文。)”解释了上文的原因,具有承上启下的作用。故选B项。
38.下文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.(它应该给出每个单词的精确定义,从而将其与其他含义相似但不相同的单词区分开来。它通常还会显示单词的发音。)”提到了字典的功能,E选项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.(当然,字典不仅仅是用来拼写的。)”提到了字典的部分功能,能引起下文内容。故选E项。
39.下文“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.(然而,如果我需要检查一个单词的来源或查找其用法的例子,没有什么比这更好的了。)”提到了字典的使用情况,A选项“I don’t often use this dictionary.(我不经常用这本字典。)”是对字典使用频率的说明,与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。
40.上文“ “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work, ” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ”dull".(约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道:“编字典是件无聊的工作(乏味)。”)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工作,下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣,D选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价,与上文的“乏味”形成对比,与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。
02(2024新课标II卷七选五)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___36___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___37___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___38___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● ___39___ 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. ___40___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了如何避免“过度旅游”的现象。
36.前文“Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.(旅游促进理解,扩展我们的思想,使我们成为更好的人,促进当地经济和社区,但旅游业的快速发展导致了某些地区和目的地的过度旅游)”表明旅游带来了一些问题,后文“The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world.(在当今世界,失去旅行所能提供的东西将是不可接受的)”表示不能失去旅行,结合后文“Certainly not.(当然不)”可知,空处提问能否停止旅行,D选项“那么,我们应该停止旅行吗?”符合语境。故选B。
37.前文“Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you.(游客过多的目的地是有原因的:它们很特别。网上有这么多关于同一个地方的帖子,很容易让你觉得你错过了。只有当风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时,才去某个地方)”表明不要跟风旅游,C选项“为你而不是其他人旅行”表明要关注自己在旅行时的感受,忠实自己的感受,不用管其余的建议,符合语境。故选C。
38.前文“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.(这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择)及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?( 为什么不尝试一个地区性的选择,或者看看一个热门目的地不太为人所知的景点呢)”提出建议,可以选择一些冷门的景点,E选项“你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方”语境一致。故选E。
39.空处为小标题,根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期,选择合适的时间,A选项“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
40.前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力,从一开始就保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点,后文“You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受,G选项“考虑回馈你所访问的社区”承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
03(2024全国甲卷B七选五)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is moderation (适度)? Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 36 But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. 37 It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, “specially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. 38
Control emotional (情绪的) eating. 39 Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
40 A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14 — 16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A. Eat properly throughout the day.
B. We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C. Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D. Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G. That won't lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. E 39. B 40. A
【解析】
36.上文“Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs, You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. (基本上,它意味着只吃你身体需要的食物,你应该在用餐结束时感到满足,但不要太饱)”指出,进餐时不要吃太饱,吃东西要适量。下文“But it doesn’t mean saying goodbye to the foods you love. (但这并不意味着要告别你喜欢的食物)”指出,适量进食不是要放弃吃自己喜欢的食物。F项“对我们许多人来说,节制意味着比现在少吃。”解释了何为适量进食。承上启下,符合文意,选项中的“means”与下文一致。故选F项。
37.根据上文“Take your time. It’s important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. (慢慢来。放慢脚步,把食物看作是有营养的东西,而不仅仅是会议间隙吃的东西,这一点很重要)”可推知,本段主要建议读者吃东西要细嚼慢咽,不要过于急躁。C项“上班路上不要狼吞虎咽。”承接上文。符合文意。故选C项。
38.上文“It’s more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. (如果你已经准备好了不健康的零食,比如饼干,那么适量食用就更具挑战性了。)”指出,吃不健康的食物不利于适度饮食,E项“相反,你应该选择健康的食物。”符合文意,建议读者选择健康的食物。选项中的“healthy”与上文中的“unhealthy”相对应。故选E项。
39.根据本段首句“Control emotional (情绪的) eating. (控制情绪化进食)”以及下文“Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom.(我们中的许多人也会求助于食物来处理不愉快的情绪,如悲伤、孤独或无聊)”可推知,本段主要建议读者不要情绪化的进行暴饮暴食,要进行健康饮食。B项“我们吃东西并不总是为了充饥。”指出有些人吃东西并不总是为了充饥,引出下文有些人通过食物发泄情绪,符合语境。故选B项。
40.设空处位于段首,总结全段,下文“A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day, Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14 — 16 hours until breakfast the next morning. (健康的早餐可以启动你的新陈代谢,而吃少量健康的食物可以让你一整天都精力充沛,避免在深夜进食。尽量早点吃晚饭,禁食14 — 16个小时,直到第二天早上吃早餐。)”指出,我们在一天中的每个时间段都要健康饮食。A项“一整天都要适当饮食。”符合语境。故选A项。
二、阅读理解七选五超实用技法妙招
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 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然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
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
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句

(23-24高二上·安徽合肥·期末)We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back. What’s the deal? While being left on read (已读不回) can be confusing, it’s also pretty common. 6 Here are a few tips.
Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren’t aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. 7 They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it.
Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. 8 If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.
Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! 9

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当别人阅读你的信息后,不回复你时,要学会心平气和的面对,不要让社交软件影响到你的生活。
6. 根据后文“Here are a few tips.(这里有一些建议)”以及前文“it’s also pretty common.(这种情况很常见)”可知,空处应该是承上启下说明可以应用这些建议避免被影响,所以F项“You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.(你可以避免这种情况困扰你)”符合文意。故选F项。
7. 根据上文“Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response.(以下是延迟响应的其他一些原因。)”以及下文“They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. (他们把手机收起来,专注于工作或学习。他们不小心忘了回复。也许他们想到了他们想说什么,但实际上并没有发短信。)”可知,空处是延迟响应的可能原因,与D项“They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. (他们想给你更长的回复,但现在不能)”上下文一致,符合文意。故选D项。
8. 根据前文“Resist the temptation to double- text.(不要信息轰炸对方)”以及后文“If you send a lot of follow- up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed.

(23-24高二上·广西·阶段练习)When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 11 Here are four more.
Ignore the context
12 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired.
Find meaning in a single gesture
People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 13 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.
Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)
A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 14
Compare your behavior with their culture
Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 15 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.
Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.
A. Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
B. They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.
C. What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.
D. In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.
E. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
F. Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.
G. Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.
【答案】11. D 12. G 13. F 14. B 15. E
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。 介绍了人们可能会对别人的肢体语言产生误解的几种常见的情况及原因。
11. 根据上文“When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood.(当你第一次和某人见面时,他不知道你会皱起眉头,如果你很专注,你会被误解。)”可知,此处通过具体的例子列举了人们很容易对他人的肢体语言产生误解,设空处应对该现象进行概括。D选项“In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.(事实上,人们很容易对他人的肢体语言做出错误的解读和反应。)”承接前文,符合语境。故选 D。
12. 根据下文“Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings(根据上下文的不同,同样的非语言信号可以有完全不同的含义。)” 可知,此处强调的是,不同的背景会对肢体语言产生极大的影响即语言的语境或者背景的不同导致同样的肢体语言可能会有完全不同的含义。G 选项“Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.(语境包括地点、关系、时间、经历,甚至是室温。)”对“语境/背景”进行了解释,指出其包含的具体内容,G 选项中 context 对应下文中 context,形成呼应,符合语境。故选G。
13. 根据上文“But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. (但他们会更注意任何一个表明你心情不好、不宜接近的信号。)”以及后一句“So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.(因此,当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时,别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的。)”可知,此处指出当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时,别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的,前文应该强调的是人们之所以会做出该判断的原因,故设空处和前文应该解释的是相关原因,即往往通过判断一个人的单一的肢体行动而判定该人的心情,人们往往赋予判定的负面信息以意义, 而不是正面信息,由此才会断定你是抗拒和不可接近的。F选项“Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.(此外,他们经常赋予负面信息以意义,而不是正面信息。)”引起下文,解释了他人断定你是不可抗拒和不可接近的原因,符合语境。故选 F。
14. 根据上文“But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. (但偏见也可能对你不利。如果你让人们想起他们不喜欢的人呢?在这种情况下,他们最初对你的回应并不好。)”可知,此处强调的是“预先的偏见”对给他人留下印象产生的影响。此处指出的是一些不好的偏见会让他人对自己的最初印象不好。B选项“They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.(他们甚至会寻找你的行为来证实这种偏见。)”是对上文的进一步说明,指出,偏见不仅让他人对你的印象不好,他人还会在此基础上去寻找各种你的行为来印证这种偏见,符合语境。 故选B。
15. 根据前文“Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others.(大多数文化价值观都是在很小的时候就被无意识地吸收了。这些价值观影响着人们的思维和行为,更重要的是,影响着人们评判他人的标准。)”可知,此处强调了无意识吸收的文化价值所产生的影响。E选项“What is right in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.(在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。)”指出在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的,符合语境,指出文化价值产生的影响即在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。故选E。

(22-23高二上·全国·单元测试)Whether we’re sad about the loss of a loved one or angry at friends or family, it often feels good to let the emotions all out because sharing our emotions reduces our stress and helps us feel good. 1 Expressing our emotions often to others may actually make us feel worse, especially if we don’t find a way to comfort ourselves.
2 . This led to a movement to “let it all out”, with experts telling people to hit soft objects, like pillows, to release (释放) negative feelings. It turns out, however, that this type of emotional venting (发泄) likely doesn’t reduce anger. That’s because encouraging people to act out their anger makes them relive it in their bodies, making it easier to get angry the next time. 3 .
Being selective when you express your emotions is a good way. There’re many ways to deal with difficult emotions and not all of them involve other people. 4 , such as writing your thoughts down or changing your environment to help you handle your emotions.
When you share your emotions with others, remind them to offer suggestions. Ask them questions like “ 5 ?” or “What should I do in this situation?” This will make them know that you’re looking for something more than a listening ear.
A. Does expressing my feelings actually help
B. How should I think about this differently
C. Actually sometimes you can find solutions on your own
D. But sharing covers many different modes of communication
E. So it’s important to choose a healthier way to express emotions
F. However, we should try hard to seek support from those around us
G. Experts used to believe negative emotions needed to be released physically
【答案】1. D 2. G 3. E 4. C 5. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何宣泄情绪提出了些建议。
1. 根据后句“Expressing our emotions often to others may actually make us feel worse, especially if we don’t find a way to comfort ourselves.”(尤其是当我们找不到安慰自己的方法时,经常向他人表达自己的情绪实际上可能会让我们感觉更糟。)可知,此处说明我们要从众多方法中找到合适我们的方法,D选项的“But sharing covers many different modes of communication”(但分享涵盖了许多不同的沟通方式),与后句语义逻辑一致,故选D。
2. 根据后句“This led to a movement to “let it all out”, with experts telling people to hit soft objects, like pillows, to release (释放) negative feelings.”(这引发了一场“释放一切”的运动,专家告诉人们要击打枕头等柔软的物体才能释放(负面情绪。)可知,此处说明的是某件事情的结果,G选项的“Experts used to believe negative emotions needed to be released physically”(专家们过去认为,负面情绪需要从身体上释放出来)是原因,与后句语义存在因果关系,故选G。
3. 根据前句“That’s because encouraging people to act out their anger makes them relive it in their bodies, making it easier to get angry the next time.”(这是因为鼓励人们把愤怒表现出来会让他们在身体里重新体验,让他们下次更容易生气)可知,此处说明这种方式是不健康的,E选项的“So it’s important to choose a healthier way to express emotions”(因此,选择一种更健康的方式来表达情绪是很重要的),与前句语义逻辑一致,故选E。
4. 根据后半句“such as writing your thoughts down or changing your environment to help you handle your emotions.”(比如写下你的想法,或者改变你的环境来帮助你处理你的情绪。),此处说明如何靠自己来应对,C选项的“Actually sometimes you can find solutions on your own ”(事实上,有时你可以自己找到解决方案),与后半句语义逻辑一致,故选C。

(22-23高二·安徽·阶段练习)Every October, families rush to the farms to pick out the perfect pumpkins. Some use them to carve scary jack-o’-lanterns, 6 . Unfortunately, the fascination with the colorful fruit disappears once Halloween ends, and most pumpkins end up in the dustbin.
A 2020 survey carried out by the UK-based non-profit organization found that over fifty percent of the 24 million Halloween pumpkins that British citizens bought that year were thrown into the landfill. 7 , where about a billion pounds of pumpkins get thrown out and left to rot (腐烂) in landfills annually. In addition to a lot of food waste generated, the rotting fruit also emits large amounts of methane—a greenhouse gas even more powerful than carbon dioxide.
8 We can all help reduce the food waste by keeping the eatable parts of the fruit during carving. Roasted pumpkin seeds make a nutritious snack, while the flesh can be transformed into a delicious soup, a tasty puree, or a lip-smacking pie.
Once Halloween is over, drop your jack-o’-lanterns at a local compost (堆肥) collection center if possible. Better still, see if your city or town hosts a pumpkin smashing (打碎) event and have fun throwing yours on the ground with your friends. Don’t worry, 9
10 . Fill your hollowed-out pumpkins with grains and leave them in the yard or hanging from a tree for birds, squirrels, and other garden visitors to enjoy. If your pumpkin is too far gone to save, bury it in your backyard—your garden will be all the happier for it.
A. Meanwhile, things are no better in the U.S.
B. Fortunately, this pollution problem is easy to solve
C. while others place them outside their homes as decorations
D. Halloween pumpkins are nothing more than overgrown vegetables
E. pumpkins used as decorations could also be used as a snack for wildlife
F. And there are many other ways to ensure the fruit does not end up in landfills

(23-24高三下·海南省直辖县级单位·开学考试)Some of the oldest living things on our remarkable planet are trees. The record holders are bristlecone pines (狐尾松) of the western United States, quite a few of which are known to be more than 3,000 years old. One individual, discovered in 2012, is estimated to be more than 5,060 years old, making it the oldest known non-clonal tree in the world! 11 : individuals across a number of other tree species have also been around for thousands of years.
So, how do trees survive for thousands of years? 12 . Undoubtedly, part of the answer lies in luck. Ancient trees have obviously not submitted to deadly diseases, pests, fires, droughts, windstorms, landslides, or the human axe in the centuries and centuries that they have quietly endured.
The other part of the answer has to do with how trees age. In fact, there is quite a debate about whether ancient trees can be considered “immortal (永生的)”. That is, will such trees ever die if they are not killed by an outside force? We may never know the answer to that, but, at the very least, 13 . While cell death is an important factor in the aging of humans and other animals, one study found little evidence of cell death in the ginkgo tree vascular cambium (银杏树维管形成层). In addition, a study of bristlecone pine pollen (花粉) found no significant increase in mutation (变异) rates with age, which is another factor associated with animal aging. 14 .
Older trees benefit greatly from having bodies made mostly of dead woody tissue. In fact, an old tree might be as much as 95 percent dead tissue! Given that it isn’t alive, wood does not require metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity to maintain it, 15 .
A. so an old tree doesn’t really need to do much to keep living
B. This is a question that has something to do with the good luck of trees
C. However, bristlecones are certainly not alone in terms of the oldest creatures
D. This is a fascinating question for biologists that does not yet have a settled answer
E. What’s more, some ancient trees have superior chemical defenses against pests and diseases
F. which means that trees can survive everywhere without being limited by external and internal conditions
G. we know that ancient trees age in ways that are dramatically different from the ways that most animals and even other plants age
【答案】11. C 12. D 13. G 14. E 15. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了古树寿命长的原因。
11. 由上文“The record holders are bristlecone pines (狐尾松) of the western United States, quite a few of which are known to be more than 3,000 years old. One individual, discovered in 2012, is estimated to be more than 5,060 years old, making it the oldest known non-clonal tree in the world! (在我们这个非凡的星球上,一些最古老的生物是树木。纪录保持者是美国西部的狐尾松,其中相当一部分的树龄已经超过3000年。2012年发现的一棵树估计有5060多岁,是世界上已知最古老的非克隆树!)”和后文“but also about being a good listener (许多其他树种的个体也已经存在了数千年)”可知,此处表示不是只有狐尾松古老。故C选项“However, bristlecones are certainly not alone in terms of the oldest creatures (然而,就最古老的生物而言,狐尾松肯定不是唯一的)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
12. 由上文“So, how do trees survive for thousands of years?(那么,树木是如何存活数千年的呢?)”及下文“Undoubtedly, part of the answer lies in luck. Ancient trees have obviously not submitted to deadly diseases, pests, fires, droughts, windstorms, landslides, or the human axe in the centuries and centuries that they have quietly endured. (毫无疑问,部分原因在于运气。古树显然没有屈服于致命的疾病,害虫,火灾,干旱,风暴,山体滑坡,或人类的斧头在他们默默地忍受了一个又一个世纪)”可知,树木是如何存活数千年,目前还没有确定的答案。故D选项“This is a fascinating question for biologists that does not yet have a settled answer(对于生物学家来说,这是一个令人着迷的问题,目前还没有一个确定的答案)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选D。
13. 由上文“The other part of the answer has to do with how trees age. (答案的另一部分与树木如何老化有关)”可知,本空要说跟“如何老化”有关的话题,和上文“We may never know the answer to that, but, at the very least(我们可能永远不会知道答案,但至少)”可知,前文说不知道的事情,本空说至少知道的一件事,且与“如何老化”有关,故G选项“we know that ancient trees age in ways that are dramatically different from the ways that most animals and even other plants age (我们知道,古树的衰老方式与大多数动物甚至其他植物的衰老方式截然不同)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。
14. 由上文“In addition, a study of bristlecone pine pollen (花粉) found no significant increase in mutation (变异) rates with age, which is another factor associated with animal aging. (此外,一项对狐尾松花粉的研究发现,突变率没有随着年龄的增长而显著增加,这是与动物衰老有关的另一个因素)”可知,此处在讲述古树自身所具有的特性,故E选项“What’s more, some ancient trees have superior chemical defenses against pests and diseases (此外,一些古树对病虫害有很好的化学防御能力)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。
15. 由上文“Older trees benefit greatly from having bodies made mostly of dead woody tissue. In fact, an old tree might be as much as 95 percent dead tissue! Given that it isn’t alive, wood does not require metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity to maintain it, (老树的身体主要由死亡的木质组织构成,这对它们大有好处。事实上,一棵老树的坏死组织可能高达95% !鉴于它不是活的,木材不需要代谢活动来维持它)”可知,老树不需要新陈代谢,故A选项“so an old tree doesn’t really need to do much to keep living (所以一棵老树其实不需要做什么来维持生命)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选A。
五、阅读理解七选五押题预测-说明文无标题型3篇
(23-24高二下·河南焦作·期中)Gratitude, which is a positive emotional state, can have a profound impact on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Gratitude offers us a way of embracing (拥抱) all that makes our lives what they are. 1 It includes the willingness to expand our attention so that we perceive more of the goodness we are always receiving.
Robert Emmons is one of the world’s leading experts on the science of gratitude. 2 The first is an affirmation of goodness: People can learn to wake up to the good around them and notice the gifts they have received. The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself — we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world. 3
In one study involving nearly 300 adults seeking counseling services at a university, one group wrote a gratitude letter each week for three weeks. The gratitude group reported significantly better mental health (compared to the control group), 12 weeks after the last writing exercise. 4 A study of this practice found that people who wrote down three things that had gone well in their day and identified the causes of those good things were significantly happier and less depressed.
5 When you practice gratitude, you shift your thoughts away from negative emotions and uncomfortable sensations. Instead, you begin to focus on good things that you may have overlooked. Rather than focusing on the misfortune of having a flat tire, for example, you consider how your job has made it possible to pay for repairs. Or you shift your focus to how fortunate you are to have close friends who are willing to drive you home.
A. He defines gratitude as having two parts.
B. A little gratitude can do wonders for your mood.
C. Gratitude isn’t just a happy feeling for our present lives.
D. However, many people don’t realize the power of gratitude.
E. Another type of written gratitude practice is counting blessings.
F. Gratitude doesn’t necessarily mean showing appreciation for the things that are around you.
G. In other words, gratitude helps realize they wouldn’t be where they are without the help of others.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. G 4. E 5. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是感恩以及感恩的积极作用。
1. 根据上文“Gratitude offers us a way of embracing (拥抱) all that makes our lives what they are.(感恩为我们提供了一种拥抱生活的方式)”以及后文“It includes the willingness to expand our attention so that we perceive more of the goodness we are always receiving.(它包括愿意扩大我们的注意力,这样我们就能感受到更多我们一直在接受的美好)”可知,空处应补充说明感恩的含义和带来的感受。故C选项“感恩不仅仅是对我们现在生活的一种快乐的感觉”承上启下,符合语境,故选C。
2. 根据后文“The first is an affirmation of goodness: People can learn to wake up to the good around them and notice the gifts they have received. The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself—we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world.(首先是对善良的肯定:人们可以学会意识到身边的美好,注意到他们收到的礼物。感恩的第二部分是认识到这些美好的源泉并不在我们自己身上——我们从别人那里得到这些礼物,有时来自命运或自然世界)”可知,后文主要说明了感恩的两个部分,A选项中two parts对应后文的The first和The second。故A选项“他把感恩定义为两部分”引出下文,符合语境,故选A。
3. 根据上文“The second part of gratitude is recognizing that the source of this goodness rests outside of oneself—we receive these gifts from other people, and sometimes from fate, or the natural world.(感恩的第二部分是认识到这些美好的源泉并不在我们自己身上——我们从别人那里得到这些礼物,有时来自命运或自然世界)”可知,本句总结上文感恩的第二部分,上文提到美好的源泉并不在我们自己身上,即感恩他人。故G选项“换句话说,感恩让他们意识到,如果没有别人的帮助,他们就不会有今天的成就”承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
4. 根据后文“A study of this practice found that people who wrote down three things that had gone well in their day and identified the causes of those good things were significantly happier and less depressed.(一项关于这种做法的研究发现,那些写下一天中发生的三件好事并找出这些好事的原因的人会明显更快乐,更少抑郁)”可知,后文主要提到了通过计算好事的数量来练习感恩。故E选项“另一种书面感恩练习是计算祝福”引出下文,符合语境,故选E。
5. 根据本段内容“When you practice gratitude, you shift your thoughts away from negative emotions and uncomfortable sensations. Instead, you begin to focus on good things that you may have overlooked. Rather than focusing on the misfortune of having a flat tire, for example, you consider how your job has made it possible to pay for repairs. Or you shift your focus to how fortunate you are to have close friends who are willing to drive you home.(当你练习感恩时,你会把你的思想从负面情绪和不舒服的感觉中转移开。相反,你开始关注那些你可能忽略的美好事物。例如,你不会把注意力集中在轮胎漏气的不幸上,而是考虑你的工作是如何让你有可能支付维修费用的。或者你把注意力转移到你有多幸运,有愿意开车送你回家的好朋友)”可知,本段主要说明了感恩对心情的积极影响。故B选项“一点感激之情会对你的心情产生奇妙的影响”符合语境,故选B。

Take breaks and do things that make you happy. 9 You could also try practising some relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or mindfulness meditation (冥想). Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a calm and peaceful place, where all your worries melt away.
10 It’s okay to feel nervous or worried, but try not to be too hard on yourself. You are doing the best you can and that’s all anyone can ask for.

(23-24高二下·江苏徐州·期中)With the deepening integration of our lives into the digital era, it’s more critical than ever to sustain the flame of personal interactions, of which small talk is an indispensable part. 11 Here are the techniques to conquer the ability to make small talk effectively.
Effective small talk is built on the principle of sincere interest. Genuine interest is about actively striving to comprehend the other individual, respecting their viewpoints, and acknowledging the uniqueness they contribute to the conversation. 12
13 In the midst of a conversation, be attentive to the speaker’s bodily language, facial movements, and the tone of voice. Such signals provide valuable insights into their emotions and intentions. Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also paves the way for a deeper relationship by respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style.
Actually listening and connecting with someone is essential for a conversation. By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say. 14 Ask follow-up questions to show that you value their insights. This depth of engagement lays the foundation for a more meaningful connection.
At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity (真实性) of your engagement. Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable. Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted(照本宣科的) responses. 15 In the world of small talk, authenticity is the key that unlocks the door to deeper connections and more fulfilling interactions.
A. Instead, let your true self shine through.
B. Some accessible topics are great for small talk.
C. Active listening involves fully engaging with the speaker.
D. Small talk has the potential to form profound relationships.
E. Beyond spoken words, small talk involves the art of observation.
F. Focus on understanding their viewpoints beyond simply hearing words.
G. By showing authentic curiosity, you make the other person feel seen and appreciated.
【答案】11. D 12. G 13. E 14. F 15. A

Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also paves the way for a deeper relationship by respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style.(在谈话中,注意说话人的肢体语言、面部动作和语调。这些信号为了解他们的情绪和意图提供了有价值的见解。熟悉它们不仅可以帮助你敏感地驾驭谈话,还可以通过尊重他人沟通风格的细微差异为更深层次的关系铺平道路。)”可知,E项(除了口头语言,闲聊还包括观察的艺术)说明了在闲聊中要注意观察,具体的观察点在下文中已经明确指出,同时下文指出了观察能够促进人际关系的提升。故选E项。
14. 根据上文的“Actually listening and connecting with someone is essential for a conversation. By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say.(实际上,倾听和交流对谈话来说是必不可少的。通过全神贯注,你表达了对对方所说的话的尊重和兴趣)”和下文的“Ask follow-up questions to show that you value their insights. This depth of engagement lays the foundation for a more meaningful connection.(问一些后续问题来表明你重视他们的见解。这种深度参与为更有意义的联系奠定了基础)”可知,F项(专注于理解他们的观点,而不仅仅是听他们说话)承接上文,指出了在听的基础上还要理解对方的观点,下文指出可以通过问问题来体现你深度参与了交流。故选F项。
15. 根据上文的“At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity of your engagement. Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable. Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted responses. (成功的闲聊的核心在于你参与的真实性。真诚能培养一种信任感和联系感,使谈话更有意义,更令人难忘。避免树立一种形象或使用照本宣科的响应的诱惑)”和下文的“In the world of small talk, authenticity is the key that unlocks the door to deeper connections and more fulfilling interactions.(在闲聊的世界里,真实性是打开通往更深层次联系和更充实互动之门的钥匙)”可知,A项(而是让真实的自己闪耀出来)承接上文,说明了在交流中要做到真诚,下文解释了做到真诚的原因所在。故选A项。
六、阅读理解七选五押题预测-记叙文3篇
(22-23高二下·安徽·开学考试)There’s that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. 1 , it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music.
I recently went to a concert with some other musicians in town (many of whom I was meeting for the first time). 2 , I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
3 . And I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, we didn’t consider how to show ourselves off. 4 .
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common; which is to see past their own values, and to listen to/connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I’ve realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more compassionate and caring person.
So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me how to be a more caring person. 5 , but also through my music, and to those who listen.
A. When I used to connect with other musicians
B. Therefore, as you become more kind and sympathetic
C. Because of this, our music was better than ever before
D. There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts
E. I often find music moves me to be open and connect with others
F. There are languages that are universal, music and kindness are two of those languages
G. As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can bring joy to not only those in my daily life
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D 5. G
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们,我们可以把自己的爱心和同情心投入到我们做的事业中。
1. 前文提到“How you do one thing is how you do everything.”(你做一件事的感受就是你做所有事的感受),以及后文提到“it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music”(它体现在你做的每件事上,甚至在演奏音乐的时候)由此判断,前句应该是一个从句,可以表达为:当你富有善心和同情心,它会体现在你所做的事情上。B项“Therefore, as you become more kind and sympathetic”(因此,当你变得更加善良和富有同情心时)该项符合文意。故选B。
2. 前文提到“I recently went to a concert with some other musicians in town”(我最近和城里的其他音乐家一起去听了一场音乐会),且从空后的“This time though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.”(但这一次,我发现自己更专注了,能够在演奏中更多地支持其他音乐家。)可知,此空讲述以前与其他音乐家合作的事情。A项“When I used to connect with other musicians”(当我和和其他音乐家交流的时候),该项符合文意。故选A。
3. 后文提到“And I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too”(我能感觉到观众也更喜欢音乐了),此空讲述这次音乐会的效果。C项“Because of this, our music was better than ever before”(正因为如此,我们的音乐比以往任何时候都好),该项符合文意。故选C。
4. 前文提到“we didn’t consider how to show ourselves off”(我们没有考虑过如何炫耀自己),由此判断,大家不是在炫耀自己,下一句应该表现我们的真实目的。D项“There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts”(只有我们敞开心扉分享彼此),该项符合文意。故选D。
5. 前文提到“So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me how to be a more caring person. ”(所以,我要感谢这个网站上的每一个人,感谢你们敞开心扉,告诉我如何成为一个更有爱心的人。),作者成为了一个更有爱心的人,且从空后的“but also through my music, and to those who listen.”(但也通过我的音乐,对那些听我音乐的人。)可知,作者也把自己的爱心通过音乐送给那些听他音乐的人,同时此句使用了not only…but also(不仅……而且)结构。G项“As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can bring joy to not only those in my daily life”(随着我成长为一个更加善良和有爱心的人,我不仅可以在日常生活中给别人带来快乐),该项符合文意。故选G。
(22-23高三上·四川遂宁·阶段练习)Humans have been known to develop strong connections with dangerous animals. Werner Freund has spent several decades 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. The army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state. 6 .
7 They touch him with noses, and play with him.What’s more, they are generally very submissive(卑躬屈膝的) when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf!
This, however, does not happen by chance. 8 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 position of hierarchy(等级制度) is built in the animal world. 9 When he signals, the rest of the pack can join in. Wemer’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. 10
They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Little 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. Therefore, Werner can survive the wolves and get along with these cold-blooded creatures.
【答案】6. G 7. F 8. C 9. E 10. A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了老兵Werner和狼和谐共处的故事。
6. 根据上文“Werner Freund has spent several decades in the company of wolves. (Werner在狼群中度过了几十年)”可知,他能够与狼相处,与G项中“get along with these cold-blooded creatures.(和这些冷血的生物相处)”与之相对应,上文“The army experience leaves him a strong body and energetic state(军旅生涯给他留下了强壮的身体和精力充沛的状态)”和G选项“因此,Werner可以在狼群中生存下来,并与这些冷血动物相处。”是因果关系,故选G。
7. 根据下文“They touch him with noses, and play with him. What’s more, they are generally very submissive(卑躬屈膝的)when he is around, just like they would be around a head wolf ! (他们用鼻子碰他,和他玩。更重要的是,当他在身边的时候,它们通常都非常顺从,就像它们在头狼身边一样!) ”及本段最后的“just like they would be around a head wolf(就像他们围着一只头狼一样)”可知,狼对待Werner很友好,选项F“狼把Werner当成自己人一样对待。”符合,引起下文。故选F。
8. 根据上文“This, however, does not happen by chance. (然而,这并非是偶然发生的。)”可知,狼对Werner很顺从,这并不是偶然发生的,而是经过Werner的训练发生的,选项C“Werner works on it with a simple act every day(Werner每天用一个简单的动作来做这件事)”符合,对上文进行了解释。故选C。
9. 根据上文“What may sound a little cruel is how the position of hierarchy(等级制度) is built in the animal world. (听起来有点残酷的是等级制度在动物世界中的地位是如何建立的。)”可知,动物之中有等级制度,与选项E“It is always the strongest male that gets the first meal (吃第一顿饭的总是最强壮的雄性)”相呼应。故选E。
10. 根据上文“Wolves, the largest member of the dog family, are mistakenly believed to be dangerous. (狼,狗家族中最大的成员,被错误地认为是危险的。)”和下文“They are beautiful gentle souls, whose reputation has been spoiled by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood! (他们是美丽温柔的灵魂,却被《小红帽》这样的童话故事毁了名声!)”可知,空处与上文形成转折关系,说明其实狼并不是很危险。与选项A“But in reality they rarely attack humans(但实际上它们很少攻击人类)”内容相吻合,故选A。
(21-22高二下·河北衡水·期中)I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested. 11
I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vernont. At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. 12 When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vermont.
A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix. 13 And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. Most of our hikes only last 2 hours.
Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path 14 But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone.
15 It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life.
A. I've fallen in love with climbing mountains.
B. I carried a small backpack with water and snacks.
C. If you can climb a mountain, you can do anything.
D. I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked.
E. It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories.
F. And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail.
G. Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail.
【答案】11. D 12. B 13. G 14. F 15. E
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者直到35岁左右才开始第一次远足而后喜欢上爬山的经历。作者认为这种锻炼方式提供了一个让生活慢下来、脱离尘世的机会。
【详解】根据上文“I just wasn't interested.(我只是不感兴趣)”可知,作者对徒步旅行不感兴趣。D项“I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked.(我看不见徒步的价值,所以当被问到的时候我总是摇头。)”与前句意思符合。故选D项。
根据上文“At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. (在妻子的催促下,我们带着两个年幼的孩子,在一个凉爽的8月的早晨走在一条美丽的森林小径上。) ”可知,本段讲述的是作者第一次的徒步经历,叙述了这个过程以及“我”在其中做了什么。B项“I carried a small backpack with water and snacks.(我背了个小背包,里面装了水和零食。)”讲述的是徒步前“我”的准备工作,故选B项。
根据上文“A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix.(几周前,我和11岁的儿子、61岁的爸爸一起去凤凰城的骆驼贝克山远足。)”本段继续讲述作者的几次徒步经历,所以句与句之间是并列关系。列举作者的徒步经历。G项“Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail.(上周末,我和我的儿子沿着南凯巴布步道沿着大峡谷徒步旅行。)”符合文意,故选G项。
根据上文“Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path. (现在,澄清一下,我绝不会把自己归为远足专家。 我喜欢空旷小路上的宁静。) ”可知,作者认为他不是一个专业级别的徒步者,他只是喜欢山间小路的宁静祥和,没打算要去攀爬乞力马扎罗山。F项“And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail.(我也不打算去爬乞力马扎罗山,也不打算去阿巴拉契亚山道。)”符合文意,故选F项。
根据后文“It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. (它提供了一个放慢脚步、脱离现实的机会。)”可知,最后一段综述徒步的好处。E项“It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories.(只有健康的体育锻炼才能创造美好的回忆。)”符合文意,故选E项。
