题型解读
七个选项中(均为完整的句子)选出五个能填入文章空处的最佳选项,主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。其命题形式深受英语四六级和考研阅读多项选择题的影响,体现了《新课标》"用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力;逐步获取用英语思维的能力。"的阅读学习和教学理念。该题型命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点,又与完形填空具有异曲同工之妙,只是选项少,以句子形式出现,考查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。
从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述"主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。"可以得出以下判断:该题备选项可分为主旨概括句(文章整体内容)、过渡性句子(文章结构)和注释性句子(上下文逻辑意义)三类。其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置,例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题,过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构,注释性句子与上文脱节等。
文章体裁以说明文为主,语篇模式较为固定:提出问题——提供解决方案。文章题材较为固定:与学生的日常生活学习紧密相关。
分析篇章结构,把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键,英语的语篇(discourse)通常是由句子和语段(sentence group)构成的,语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次,句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想,但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想,只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段,才能表达一个相对独立的层意,所谓的"积句而成章,积章而成篇。"就是这个道理。
分析文章的层次包含两种形式:一种是分析整篇文章的层次,也就是段落,另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次,也就是语篇层次。
语篇与段落是有区别的,语段是篇章结构的中间层次,是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式,段落(paragraph)是在某些语体(如记叙文、议论文)中比语段更大的意义单位,较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子,一般来说,一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种,一是靠句际间意义的结合,二是靠句际间的关联词,逻辑性插入语来连接,在分析语段层次时,可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断,但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系,把握作者的思路,从语序上去发现断续点,理清层次,好文章的层次非常清晰,只有层层入手,才能真正理解文章。
解题技巧
看原文中是否有小标题
小标题在原文中一般会加粗,或者出现在每段的首句,小标题比较简短,且在选项中一般以动词原形开头,如果选项中A,B很明显是小标题,选了A一般要排除B>
注意: 第一个小标题上一段最后一句设空,那选项中一般有 tips/suggestions/strategies/ways等词,引出下文如“以下是我的一些建议/方法/策略
看选项
注意选项第一个单词大小写:小写意味着题目前有逗号,话未说完
注意标点符号:问号考的居多,一般会问号并列
why?→because,reasons 回答.
注意代词:代词一定要指代清晰
人称代词 → it/he/she/they/I/you/we→主格
him/ her/ them/ me /you/ us →宾格.
比如看到he,前面肯定有人且是男的
指示代词 → this/that/these/those 这个/那个/这些/那些
注意数词
基数词:one/two/three 原文中会提到一点,两点,三点
序数词:First/second/third
注意衔接词:
also/too也(说明前后说的话意思递进)
but/yet/though/as/instead/on the contrary(相反)→转折/高频☆
and/so/therefore
For one thing ,For another
What's more, what's worse, worse still,
注意原词复现:选项中关键词与原文中关键词重复出现,尤其是标题原词。关键词一般是实词,尤其是名词。比如有道题的小标题出现了self-worthy这个词,刚好有一个选项中也是self-worthy这个词,基本确定是这个选项了。
验证所得 代入验证逻辑关系,前后意思表达一致,如果有一个题目在整篇文章的结尾,那这一个选项不是总结这一段就是总结全文,所以这一题总结性要强。

(2024·江西·模拟预测) The Power of Compassion
When we see what we are all up against — when we see the suffering and struggle that all humans face — the only response that makes sense is simple compassion. 1 . It involves the desire to be moved by suffering and the motivation to help alleviate and prevent it. Genuine compassion is a deep, heartfelt concern for the well-being of others. 2 , paying attention to our own needs and feelings in a respectful, gentle way.
To be compassionate is to see the true nature of the suffering one faces. 3 , and then acts empathetically (共情地) to address the issue, with the ultimate aim of creating value and greater unity and harmony in the world. When we learn to empathize with others, we recognize that everyone struggles with difficult situations and negative emotions. We can also develop a broader perspective on humanity.
4 . Just as we strive to be gentle and kind to others when they experience hardship, it is healthy and constructive to treat ourselves the same way. How can we develop self-compassion? 5 . This begins with mindfulness — that is, with the intention to be aware of our own painful experiences in a balanced way, one that neither avoids nor amplifies (放大) painful thoughts and emotions.
A.Everyone is doing the best they can
B.We can also extend compassion to ourselves
C.Kindness toward oneself leads to appreciation of others

(2024·江西·一模)Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. Having maintained adequate sleep, people can keep themselves refreshed and dynamic. 6 Here are some steps to take to become a morning person on a freezing day.
Seek out as much natural light as possible. 7 When you wake up, go outside for a relaxed walk around the block, or sit out back while you have a cup of coffee. To avoid being in a sleep state all along, you’d better rethink the black-out curtains you might use to make a very dark sleeping environment.
8 If you fly straight into getting up at your desired time every day, you’ll feel tired during the transition within a few weeks. For some people, those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe and hard to bear. In that case, gradually ease into the early-bird life. They are supposed to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. 9
De-stress and relax in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. 10 So you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Start at least an hour before you hit the bed and cut back on stuff related to daily life.
With all these tips, you’re not dreading it if you think of getting up early on a chilly winter.
A.Cultivate the habit gradually.
B.That’s a little easier for people to tolerate.
C.The sun is the driver of our internal clock.

(2024·湖南郴州·模拟预测)Find the learning style that suits you best
To succeed academically, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to find a suitable learning style. Whether it’s for everyday learning or revising for exams, the learning style that helps you achieve maximum productivity will be crucial. 16
Note-taking
Note-taking can include copying out passages of books or summarizing concepts on notecards. 17 The problem with note-taking is that it’s all too easy simply to copy out what someone else says without really taking it in.
18
Sometimes you might find that you learn things more easily if you have to explain a concept to someone else. This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you have to have a thorough grasp of it yourself. For example, giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn.
Learning by doing
This method means that rather than reading things in books, try to experience things in real life. 19 Experiencing things practically gives your brain something concrete to remember, so you will absorb the information more easily.
Tests and mock exams (模拟考试)
20 If you’re the sort of person who benefits from these sorts of challenges, you could try asking your teacher, parents or study buddies to set a mock exam to test what you’ve learned on a particular topic.
A.Explaining to others
B.Diagrams and mind maps
C.If so, visual methods of learning might suit you best.
D.Here are some common learning styles and choose one that suits you best!
E.Some people like them because they provide strong motivation to succeed.
F.It’s a classic learning method, but may not be the best way for everyone to learn.
G.For example, you could conduct a scientific experiment or observe how a chemical reaction works.

(2024·四川成都·模拟预测)Tips for Positive Thinking When Depressed
If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to get started. 21
Keep a positive journal. Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. 22 Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments.
23 Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others — to start a support group or write a book.
Ask yourself if your negative beliefs are really true. Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? 24 What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? Hold your negative thoughts up for inspection and you’ll soon see which are worth your attention.
25 During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try to find something to feel positive about.
A.How might that feel?
B.Here are some ideas.
C.Adjust mood to get a positive result.
D.Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times.
E.If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value?
F.Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome.
G.So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down.

(2024·河南驻马店·二模)Imagine being able to update your wardrobe (衣橱) without spending a dollar. This seemingly too-good-to-be-true idea is entirely possible if you host a clothing swap (交换) party with friends. Here’s how to go about doing it.
Send out an invitation
Invite the right number of people of more than 10 and less than 20. 26 You can set minimum and maximum numbers of pieces guests need to bring, if you want. Be clear about what makes a piece swap-worthy, i. e. no stains, washed, ironed. 27 They can be women’s, children’s clothing, footwear, etc. Remind guests to bring a bag or box to carry their new finds home and to wear undergarments that facilitate changing.
Set up your living room for the swap
It’s more fun if the space looks like a store, so group like items with like. Fold jeans in a neat pile, clear a table and make a clothing rack (支架) using a long curtain bar. 28
Make snacks and cocktails
I recently read about a group of mothers in British Columbia who drink Dirty Momma cocktails while swapping clothing on a regular basis. 29 But stay away from red wine; you don’t want those stains all over your newfound treasures.
Take turns shopping
30 Limit the number of items to three per turn to keep it fair and moving fast. Everybody goes home with the same number of items that they brought. If two friends have their eye on the same thing, have a model-off and let the group decide who wears it best. If you’re afraid of hurt feelings, flip a coin instead.
A.Draw lots to pick who shops first.
B.Take all the clothing you bought home.
C.It is a common practice to invite guests in Britain.
D.Decide which categories of clothing will be swapped.
E.Establish a changing room and provide full-length mirrors.
F.Give guests at least two weeks to prepare clothing they want to swap.
G.Whether or not your group has an established drink, a cocktail makes the experience more fun.

(2024·河北邢台·模拟预测)Don’t Lose Motivation
Many of us have a dream that we would love to achieve. Having dreams is fine, but achieving dreams requires determination, single-mindedness, courage, and commitment. 31 . Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you think you are being frustrated frequently.
How, then, do we get motivated? 32 Motivational speakers outline their recipes for success. There are videos, books, documentaries, and online courses available to anyone seeking motivation.
Our dreams are usually a bit vague (模糊的). 33 . A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream — let’s say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.
34 . Their attitude is going to be optimistic and confident, and you can draw on that yourself. Negative thoughts can soon disappear if you are with people who exude (洋溢) positivity.
Often we can learn more from our mistakes than we can from our successes. If we make a mistake, then we have to analyze why. By thinking about the error, working out what went wrong, and seeking another way of doing the task, we are learning. We must not see failures as a bad thing. 35 .
It is important not to worry about losing motivation. The important thing is to tackle it as soon as you realize your motivation has gone. Think about why your self-motivation has been lost and then get back on the road to success.
A.The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals
B.Your plan itself is a source of self-motivation
C.You can keep yourself motivated by mixing with other motivated people
D.Above all, we must feel motivated to fulfill our dreams and remain motivated
E.Review your progress regularly to make sure that you are still on course for success
F.They enable us to avoid the mistake happening another time
G.A whole industry has grown up dedicated to motivating people

(2024·湖北襄阳·三模)All of us want to strive for perfection, don’t we? It could be submitting the perfect assignment or performing a flawless musical. 36 This is especially so when we are in a large organization, like a school or company.
When people work as a team, the end product is more likely to be of better quality than if an individual produces it alone. There is a name for this-synergy (增效) . Now, how does synergy work?
37 Actually, synergy is abundant in the animal kingdom. Remember the clownfish darting (飞奔) among the sea anemones (海葵) in Finding Nemo? Both creatures demonstrate mutualism at play. The clownfish hide among the stinging tentacles (触角) of the anemones when their predators come close. In return, the clownfish scare off the butterfly fish that prey on anemones.
38 From them, we learn that a team that works well together understands the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. Not only that, the teamleaders and members become proficient when they exercise specialization. 39
In teamwork, there is much creativity. 40 While the occasional conflict may arise when certain members don’t see eye to eye over an issue, these are few and far between. The team leader will be at hand to ease tensions when things go wrong.
A.Let’s turn to nature for inspiration.
B.Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams.
C.Each member will contribute his expertise to benefit the team.
D.However, this ideal circumstance is not always accomplished alone.
E.The clownfish and sea anemone make a clever team in surviving the wild.
F.Team members also offer unique perspectives before reaching an agreement.
G.The clownfish and sea anemone make the ocean bed beautiful, don’t you agree?

(2024·山西运城·二模)Living in a city, you often see a group of runners emerge around a corner. They laugh and chat together as their running shoes rhythmically touch the pavement. 41 . Joining such a group club is great for runners. Here are some reasons to inspire you to become a member of it.
Get more motivation
When you run alone, it is harder to get out of the door and onto the pavement. There is often a convincing inner voice that whispers to you to simply stay at home! 42 . Your running friends will be looking forward to seeing you and will miss you if you do not show up.
Become a better runner
43 . Most clubs have coaches or trainers. Trainers can assist you in setting a pace and establishing realistic and achievable goals, and train you to be the best runner you can be. A coach will develop variety in running routes and content, making the whole workout so enjoyable that you may perform better without even realizing how much distance you covered.
44
When you are part of a club, you can make friends with those sharing the same passion. According to a fitness magazine, runners are known to be a friendly bunch! This offers a sense of belonging, and after a while, these new partners feel like a warm family and can become lifelong friends.
Feel safe
Most runners choose to run in fall or winter and this may mean going out on a dark evening. When running alone, it is harder to see the road and you may easily trip or fall due to the darkness. When in a group, you will be reminded of possible dangers and if there is an accident, people are there to help you. 45 .
A.Develop friendship
B.Become more friendly
C.These runners are often part of a running club
D.This can definitely give you a sense of security
E.When running in a group, you may hit your personal goals more quickly
F.However, being part of a group pushes you to participate in a running event
G.You get encouragement and protection from this group of runners that passed by
(十)
(2024·江西赣州·二模)Anxiety disorders are a type of mental health condition. Anxiety makes it difficult to get through your day. Symptoms include feelings of nervousness, panic and fear as well as sweating and a rapid heartbeat. 46
Have psychotherapy (心理疗法).
Psychotherapy or “talk therapy” can help people with anxiety disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an example of one type of psychotherapy that can help people with anxiety disorders. It teaches people different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to situations to help you feel less anxious and fearful. CBT has been well studied and is the gold standard for psychotherapy. 47 It focuses on facing the fears behind an anxiety disorder to help people engage in activities they have been avoiding. Exposure therapy is sometimes used along with relaxation exercises. Another treatment option for some anxiety disorders is acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). ACT takes a different approach than CBT to negative thoughts.
48
Medication does not cure anxiety disorders but often relieves symptoms. Generally, medication can only be advised by a medical doctor (such as a psychiatrist or a primary care provider). Medications are sometimes used as the initial treatment of an anxiety disorder. 49 The most common classes of medications used to fight anxiety disorders are antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and beta-blockers. Be aware that some medications are effective only if they are taken regularly and that symptoms may appear again if the medication is stopped.
Join support groups.
You are also recommended to join support groups to get their coping strategies. Some people with anxiety disorders might benefit from joining a self-help or support group and sharing their problems and achievements with others. 50 Choose the most suitable and believe you’ll make it.
A.Receive medication.
B.Choose the right doctors.
C.It’s a newer form of psychotherapy treatment.
D.Thankfully, there are effective ways to treat anxiety.
E.Besides, you may learn ways to manage anxiety disorders yourself.
F.Exposure therapy is a CBT method that is used to treat anxiety disorders.
G.They can also be adopted if there is no satisfying response to psychotherapy.

6.根据上文“Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. Having maintained adequate sleep, people can keep themselves refreshed and dynamic. (每个人都知道早睡早起对你的健康有好处。保持充足的睡眠,人们可以使自己精神焕发,充满活力。)”以及后文“Here are some steps to take to become a morning person on a freezing day.

(当你醒来的时候,到外面走走,绕着街区放松一下,或者坐在外面喝杯咖啡。为了避免一直处于睡眠状态,你最好重新考虑一下你可能用来制造非常黑暗的睡眠环境的遮光窗帘。)”可知,本句说明寻找自然光的原因。故C选项“太阳是我们生物钟的驱动者。”符合语境,故选C。
8.根据后文“If you fly straight into getting up at your desired time every day, you’ll feel tired during the transition within a few weeks. For some people, those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe and hard to bear. In that case, gradually ease into the early-bird life. They are supposed to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. (如果你每天都在你想要的时间起床,你会在几周内感到疲倦。对一些人来说,转换到一个新时间表的头几天的疲惫是不安全的,难以忍受的。在这种情况下,逐渐进入早起鸟的生活。他们应该换班半小时,等几天,再换班半小时,等几天,然后再换班半小时。)”可知,后文主要说明了培养早起的习惯需要时间。故A选项“逐渐培养这个习惯。”符合语境,故选A。
9.根据上文“For some people, those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe and hard to bear. In that case, gradually ease into the early-bird life.

(对一些人来说,转换到一个新时间表的头几天的疲惫是不安全的,难以忍受的。在这种情况下,逐渐进入早起鸟的生活。他们应该换班半小时,等几天,再换班半小时,等几天,然后再换班半小时。)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文,说明上文的做法的好处。故B选项“这对人们来说更容易忍受。”符合语境,故选B。
10.根据上文“De-stress and relax in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. (晚上减压放松。固定的就寝时间并不像每天坚持相同的起床时间那么重要,但确保你得到足够的睡眠仍然很重要。)”可知,本句主要说明充足睡眠的重要性。故F选项“没有充足的睡眠时间,身心就不能正常充电。”符合语境,故选F。

(2024·湖南郴州·模拟预测)Find the learning style that suits you best
To succeed academically, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to find a suitable learning style. Whether it’s for everyday learning or revising for exams, the learning style that helps you achieve maximum productivity will be crucial. 16
Note-taking
Note-taking can include copying out passages of books or summarizing concepts on notecards. 17 The problem with note-taking is that it’s all too easy simply to copy out what someone else says without really taking it in.
18
Sometimes you might find that you learn things more easily if you have to explain a concept to someone else. This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you have to have a thorough grasp of it yourself. For example, giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn.
Learning by doing
This method means that rather than reading things in books, try to experience things in real life. 19 Experiencing things practically gives your brain something concrete to remember, so you will absorb the information more easily.
Tests and mock exams (模拟考试)
20 If you’re the sort of person who benefits from these sorts of challenges, you could try asking your teacher, parents or study buddies to set a mock exam to test what you’ve learned on a particular topic.
A.Explaining to others
B.Diagrams and mind maps
C.If so, visual methods of learning might suit you best.
D.Here are some common learning styles and choose one that suits you best!
E.Some people like them because they provide strong motivation to succeed.
F.It’s a classic learning method, but may not be the best way for everyone to learn.
G.For example, you could conduct a scientific experiment or observe how a chemical reaction works.
【答案】16.D 17.F 18.A 19.G 20.E

16.根据上文“To succeed academically, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to find a suitable learning style. Whether it’s for everyday learning or revising for exams, the learning style that helps you achieve maximum productivity will be crucial.(要在学业上取得成功,你需要富有成效。为了提高效率,你需要找到一种合适的学习方式。无论是日常学习还是考试复习,帮助你达到最高效率的学习方式都是至关重要的)”可知,上文提到了学习方式的重要性,后文列举了四种学习方式,可知本句承上启下,故D选项“这里有一些常见的学习方式,选择一个最适合你的!”,介绍了文章主题,符合语境,故选D。

This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you have to have a thorough grasp of it yourself. For example, giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn.(有时你可能会发现,如果你必须向别人解释一个概念,你学东西会更容易。这是因为为了向别人清楚地解释一些事情,你自己必须对它有一个彻底的掌握。例如,给同学做报告需要你首先对主题有一个很好的理解,然后把其他人可以学习的材料放在一起)”可知,该段主要讲向别人解释一个概念时,学东西会更容易些,因为为了向别人清楚地解释一些事情,你自己必须对它有一个彻底的掌握。A选项“向他人解释”能够概括本段主旨,选项中“Explaining to others”与下文第一句中“explain a concept to someone else”表达一致。故选A。
19.根据上文“This method means that rather than reading things in books, try to experience things in real life.(这种方法的意思是,与其读书本上的东西,不如去体验现实生活中的东西)”可知,空格前说的是与其读书本上的东西,不如去体验现实生活中的东西;G选项“例如,你可以进行科学实验或观察化学反应是如何进行的”承接上文,对如何体验现实生活中的东西进行举例说明,符合语境,故选G。

(2024·四川成都·模拟预测)Tips for Positive Thinking When Depressed
If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to get started. 21
Keep a positive journal. Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. 22 Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments.
23 Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others — to start a support group or write a book.
Ask yourself if your negative beliefs are really true. Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? 24 What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? Hold your negative thoughts up for inspection and you’ll soon see which are worth your attention.
25 During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try to find something to feel positive about.
A.How might that feel?
B.Here are some ideas.
C.Adjust mood to get a positive result.
D.Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times.
E.If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value?
F.Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome.
G.So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down.
【答案】21.B 22.G 23.F 24.E 25.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了抑郁时积极思考的一些建议。
21.前文“If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to get started. (如果你想知道如何在抑郁时变得更积极,你可能需要一些可行的建议来开始)”提到在抑郁时变得更积极需要可行的建议,后文段落具体介绍了这些建议,空处应该指出有这样一些建议,因此B项“Here are some ideas. (这里有一些想法)”符合语境,承上启下。故选B。
22.段首句“Keep a positive journal. (坚持写积极向上的日记)”建议记录积极向上的想法,前文“Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. (当你抑郁时,积极的想法可能很少)”提到抑郁时积极的想法会很少,后文“Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments. (即使是看到一朵美丽的花或收到朋友的支持短信这样的小事,也要记录下你的美好时刻)”具体指出很美好的小事也值得记录,空处应该是建议及时记录下那些积极的想法,因此G项“So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down. (所以每当一个快乐或充满希望的想法进入你的脑海时,把它写下来)”符合语境,呼应段首句,承上启下。故选G。
23.根据后文“Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others—to start a support group or write a book. (下次当你在困难面前感到绝望时,想象一下最积极的结果。例如,你可能不喜欢抑郁,但想象有一天你可以用你的故事来帮助别人——成立一个支持小组或写一本书)”可知,本段主要建议想象一下最积极的结果,空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,应该与此相关,且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。因此F项“Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome.

(2024·河南驻马店·二模)Imagine being able to update your wardrobe (衣橱) without spending a dollar. This seemingly too-good-to-be-true idea is entirely possible if you host a clothing swap (交换) party with friends. Here’s how to go about doing it.
Send out an invitation
Invite the right number of people of more than 10 and less than 20. 26 You can set minimum and maximum numbers of pieces guests need to bring, if you want. Be clear about what makes a piece swap-worthy, i. e. no stains, washed, ironed. 27 They can be women’s, children’s clothing, footwear, etc. Remind guests to bring a bag or box to carry their new finds home and to wear undergarments that facilitate changing.
Set up your living room for the swap
It’s more fun if the space looks like a store, so group like items with like. Fold jeans in a neat pile, clear a table and make a clothing rack (支架) using a long curtain bar. 28
Make snacks and cocktails
I recently read about a group of mothers in British Columbia who drink Dirty Momma cocktails while swapping clothing on a regular basis. 29 But stay away from red wine; you don’t want those stains all over your newfound treasures.
Take turns shopping
30 Limit the number of items to three per turn to keep it fair and moving fast. Everybody goes home with the same number of items that they brought. If two friends have their eye on the same thing, have a model-off and let the group decide who wears it best. If you’re afraid of hurt feelings, flip a coin instead.
A.Draw lots to pick who shops first.
B.Take all the clothing you bought home.
C.It is a common practice to invite guests in Britain.
D.Decide which categories of clothing will be swapped.
E.Establish a changing room and provide full-length mirrors.
F.Give guests at least two weeks to prepare clothing they want to swap.
G.Whether or not your group has an established drink, a cocktail makes the experience more fun.
【答案】26.F 27.D 28.E 29.G 30.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了举办服装交换活动的流程。

(2024·湖北襄阳·三模)All of us want to strive for perfection, don’t we? It could be submitting the perfect assignment or performing a flawless musical. 36 This is especially so when we are in a large organization, like a school or company.
When people work as a team, the end product is more likely to be of better quality than if an individual produces it alone. There is a name for this-synergy (增效) . Now, how does synergy work?
37 Actually, synergy is abundant in the animal kingdom. Remember the clownfish darting (飞奔) among the sea anemones (海葵) in Finding Nemo? Both creatures demonstrate mutualism at play. The clownfish hide among the stinging tentacles (触角) of the anemones when their predators come close. In return, the clownfish scare off the butterfly fish that prey on anemones.
38 From them, we learn that a team that works well together understands the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. Not only that, the teamleaders and members become proficient when they exercise specialization. 39
In teamwork, there is much creativity. 40 While the occasional conflict may arise when certain members don’t see eye to eye over an issue, these are few and far between. The team leader will be at hand to ease tensions when things go wrong.
A.Let’s turn to nature for inspiration.
B.Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams.
C.Each member will contribute his expertise to benefit the team.
D.However, this ideal circumstance is not always accomplished alone.

41.根据空前“Living in a city, you often see a group of runners emerge around a corner. They laugh and chat together as their running shoes rhythmically touch the pavement. (生活在城市中,你经常看到一群跑步者从一个角落出现。他们边跑边笑,边聊天,他们的跑鞋有节奏地触碰着人行道。)”及空后“Joining such a group club is great for runners. (加入这样的跑步团体对跑步者来说非常棒。)”可知,C项“这些跑步者通常是跑步俱乐部的成员”符合,起承前启后的作用。干扰项G项中的 this group of runners看似与空前的内容相关,但G项中的 protection与空前内容无关,可排除。故选C项。
42.上文提到“When you run alone, it is harder to get out of the door and onto the pavement. (当你独自一人跑步时,更难走出家门,踏上人行道。)”可知,空前主要介绍一个人跑步会有很多阻碍,故该空应该是一个转折,该空应该谈及加入跑步俱乐部的益处,故F项“然而,成为跑步团体的一员会督促你参加跑步活动”符合。该空后也进一步介绍为什么身为团体的一员会有参加跑步活动的动力。故选F项。
43.根据本段的小标题Become a better runner及空后“Trainers can assist you in setting a pace and establishing realistic and achievable goals, and train you to be the best runner you can be. A coach will develop variety in running routes and content, making the whole workout so enjoyable that you may perform better without even realizing how much distance you covered. (教练可以帮助你设定节奏,确立现实和可达成的目标,并训练你成为最好的跑者。教练会开发多样化的跑步路线和内容,使得整个锻炼过程如此愉快,以至于你可能会在不知不觉中表现得更好,甚至没有意识到自己跑了多少距离。)”可知,E项“在跟团跑步时,你可能会更快地完成你的个人目标”符合。故选E项。
44.根据本段的关键信息“When you are part of a club, you can make friends with those sharing the same passion. According to a fitness magazine, runners are known to be a friendly bunch! This offers a sense of belonging, and after a while, these new partners feel like a warm family and can become lifelong friends. (当你成为俱乐部的一部分时,你可以与那些分享同样热情的人交朋友。根据一家健身杂志的说法,跑步者被认为是一个友好的群体!这提供了一种归属感,过一段时间后,这些新伙伴感觉就像一个温暖的家庭,可以成为终身的朋友。)”可知,A项“建立友谊”适合作本段的小标题。“友好”只是本段的一个小信息点,故干扰项B项可排除。故选A项。
45.根据本段的小标题 Feel safe 及空前“When in a group, you will be reminded of possible dangers and if there is an accident, people are there to help you. (当在一个团队中时,你会被提醒可能存在的危险,如果发生事故,会有人在那里帮助你。)”可知,D项“这绝对可以给你一种安全感”符合。D项中的 This指代空前的一整句话。故选D项。

(2024·江西赣州·二模)Anxiety disorders are a type of mental health condition. Anxiety makes it difficult to get through your day. Symptoms include feelings of nervousness, panic and fear as well as sweating and a rapid heartbeat. 46
Have psychotherapy (心理疗法).
Psychotherapy or “talk therapy” can help people with anxiety disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an example of one type of psychotherapy that can help people with anxiety disorders. It teaches people different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to situations to help you feel less anxious and fearful. CBT has been well studied and is the gold standard for psychotherapy. 47 It focuses on facing the fears behind an anxiety disorder to help people engage in activities they have been avoiding. Exposure therapy is sometimes used along with relaxation exercises. Another treatment option for some anxiety disorders is acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). ACT takes a different approach than CBT to negative thoughts.
48
Medication does not cure anxiety disorders but often relieves symptoms. Generally, medication can only be advised by a medical doctor (such as a psychiatrist or a primary care provider). Medications are sometimes used as the initial treatment of an anxiety disorder. 49 The most common classes of medications used to fight anxiety disorders are antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and beta-blockers. Be aware that some medications are effective only if they are taken regularly and that symptoms may appear again if the medication is stopped.

You are also recommended to join support groups to get their coping strategies. Some people with anxiety disorders might benefit from joining a self-help or support group and sharing their problems and achievements with others. 50 Choose the most suitable and believe you’ll make it.
A.Receive medication.

C.It’s a newer form of psychotherapy treatment.
