If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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". 5 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. 2.(2024年新高考II卷 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. 6 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. 7 ●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. 8 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● 9 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. 10 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. 3.(2024年浙江卷1月) In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 11 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 12 We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 13 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. 14 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. 15 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts. A．But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines. B．Your motivation should be your main concern. C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E．The chief complain t about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. 4.(2023年新高考I卷) Personal Forgiveness Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 16 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 17 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 18 You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 19 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 20 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A．A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B．Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C．They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D．It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E．It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F．Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G．Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 5.(2023年新高考II卷) As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey. ·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. 21 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ·Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 22 ·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 23 Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online. · 24 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability. The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. 25 Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life. A．Get out of your comfort zone. B．Make career plans and set goals. C．Don’t throw away your beginner art. D．Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. E．You’ll hit roadblocks, and you’ll feel discouraged at times. F．Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role. G．You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. 6.(2023年浙江卷1月) With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 26 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 27 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 28 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 29 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. Have fun. 30 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. 7.(2023年北京卷) It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. 31 When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 32 Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 33 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. 34 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. 35 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A．Higher education has achieved its true potential. B．Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C．Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D．However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching. E．Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F．They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G．In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 8.(2022年新高考I卷) Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “ 36 ”  With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. So, how do you find a workout partner? First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39 You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A．Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B．A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C．You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D．Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E．How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F．Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G．Any notice for a training partner should include such information. 9.(2022年新高考II卷) Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques. 41 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 42 Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on. The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 43 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway. The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 44 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 45 The resulting blank space invites you to revise. A．Make sure your handwriting is neat. B．Let your pen follow the waves of thought. C．The second draft of the essay should be better. D．First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing. E．Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time. F．Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise. G．Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space. 10.(2022年浙江卷1月) I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but I have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed. 46 Pick the most important. 47 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive. I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies, but don't want the life of a big company CEO. My choices are based on the lifestyle I want. Combine your activities. Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc. 48 Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner. Build your social life around people in your work environment. Find people in your company who share common interests and develop your career (职业) around the people and activities you love. 49 You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. Lighten up. The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence. 50 Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way. A．Speed up. B．Be an active learner. C．Stop trying to balance time between them all. D．Make choices about what is meaningful in your life. E．The things you do well usually give you greater joy. F．Perhaps these tips will help you make the most of your time. G．This is why making lists is important in any productivity handbook. 11.(2022年浙江卷6月) I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. 51 Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. 52 And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. 53 You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. 54 Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. 55 This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience. A．It isn’t that these young people can’t write. B．But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. C．The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed. D．As a result, each year they received something they wanted. E．You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. F．As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. G．But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. 12.(2022年北京卷) Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life. Often due to various pressures, we tend to ignore our health. 56 It is the fitness level of our body that helps us fight these diseases. 57 We need to be fit to have a healthy body. Similarly, if we are healthy we shall naturally be attracted towards maintaining the fitness of our body. Health is the state of our body at a given time.

G．This makes our body suffer and we will catch other diseases. 精准练02  全国卷 1.(2024年全国甲卷) 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. 61 But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love. Take your time.

Once you know your learning strengths and weaknesses, you can choose learning strategies that play to your strengths.

In other words, you have to get to know the tree’s root, trunk, then branch out from there. Don’t start from the branches or the leaves, pursue the root and work your way to the topic. Therefore, whatever topic you choose to learn or study, just start with the basics. Give Yourself Plenty of Time in Both “Focused” And “Diffused”(分散的)Modes Normally, the human brain is not meant to stay in “focused” mode for hours at a time. 19 Consequently, when your brain is active for a very long time, you’re actually blocking your access to the diffused mode — a more relaxed state. Therefore, diffused mode is just as valuable as the focused mode. So — just take breaks, let your mind wander, think about other things, and give your brain plenty of time to make better connections. 20 A．You can benefit a lot from staying focused. B．Smart learners don’t have any special secrets. C．You should try to choose whatever you like best. D．Every topic or subject has a logical structure to it. E．Then you can learn better by imposing breaks on yourself. F．Long-lasting attention to a single task can block memory and recall. G．You can practically choose content from many sources, experts, and authors. Passage2 (2024·河南·模拟预测) How to Create the Perfect Spring Planter Spring containers are an easy solution for jazzing up a colorless balcony and boring corners of any garden at this time of year. 21 Choosing the right container is important. Always think about the style of your garden. 22 They are solid pots for spring as they don’t blow over in those early spring winds. Check that the pot has a large drainage (排水) hole to ensure that the soil drains well, but always cover it with a crock (like a piece from a broken flower planter) so that the soil doesn’t block the hole and create problems with drainage later down the line. Choosing the right compost (堆肥) is the key to the success of any planting. I think it’s best to use soil-based compost so that the soil does not become too heavy or waterlogged, especially in spring when we could have plenty of showers. 23 And too much water in the soil will freeze, preventing the plants from taking up the vital water. Plant combinations are important, so always think about mixes which will last as well as annual and perennial (多年生的) ones. 24 A bunch of pots forces the eye to look around and take in each pot and plant combination. A nice option is planting summer flowers like Dahlia or Lily to create a summer impact. 25 It can be achieved by using tall plants. If you don’t have a tall plant then you can always raise your pot off the ground with old house bricks or decorative pot feet, or use steps in your garden to create interest and drama. A pleasant smell is always a lovely addition to a space as well as wildlife. Select the right plant for your location in your garden－sun or shade-loving. A．I like good, weighty planters. B．It can still be frosty right up to May. C．And besides, they are so easy to care for. D．I also like to group pots together in different sizes. E．Capitalize on those variations to help choose companions. F．You may find some of these plants in smaller pots or even multi-packs. G．Height is important to think about when you’re designing your arrangement. Passage3 (2024·重庆沙坪坝·模拟预测) A lot of people assume the more work they put in at the gym, and the longer and harder they push themselves, the better their results will be. 26 But if you want to get the best gains, the key is to focus on the quality of the work rather than the quantity. Your body is capable of making only tiny adaptations and improvements at any one time. Once you've given it enough push to make these changes, any additional work you do after that point won't be making you any better. 27 This is because you'll need longer to recover afterwards. Besides, you won't feel fresh when you start your next session. Ideally, it's just enough to do the smallest amount of work required to promote growth in every workout. 28 Thus the minimum amount of exercise brings the maximum physical gains. 29 For example, if a new gym-goer wants to get stronger, he might start a squat (深蹲) workout, which is made up of ten steps, each having five repetitions. In theory, it's a sensible way for building strength. If he's only attempted three steps in his previous exercise, it's far from enough. The fourth step would push him past his previous limit and force adaptation. But the subsequent steps are meant for more professional people. 30 As a general rule, regardless of your experience, aim to only increase the volume of any exercise by one step from workout to workout. A．It seems logical. B．Instead, it'll harm your progress. C．It's natural that you may want to keep fit. D．After that, you can stop exercising during the day. E．Only in this way can you enjoy the benefit of exercise. F．They would just increase the chance of injury for beginners. G．How much exercise you need to do depends on your current fitness level. Passage4 (2024·重庆·模拟预测) This summer, climate change continues to push Earth’s weather to extremes. 31 We invite some experts to discuss the science behind exercising in the heat, how to keep your body safe, and what to do if you suspect you or someone you’re with has heat exhaustion. 32 If you had a heavy meal like a cheeseburger, you’ll want to wait two to three hours before your hot outdoor exercise, since that fat and protein-rich meal will take even longer to move through the digestive process. Should you eat after that hot run? No. You can hydrate right away, but wait until you’ve cooled off to eat. That’s because digesting food will delay getting your body back to its usual temperature. Protect your skin — it’s the body’s cooling system. Your skin and related tissues are incredibly designed to move warm blood away from your core to keep your vital organs cool. Any damage to your skin or the underlying tissue prevents your body from being able to air condition itself. To protect your skin, start with sunscreen. 33 . Wear materials that will help your body breathe. 34 Wear sweat-wicking athletic clothing that allows your skin to cool. Avoid materials like cotton that basically keep the heat close to your body. Hydrate before, during and after exercise. Dehydration can really happen to you. 35 Besides, keep drinking while you’re working out. A．Don’t eat right before you head out. B．Try more heat-friendly forms of exercise. C．The type of suitable clothing you wear can also help you stay cool. D．But high outside temperatures in a dry climate can also be dangerous. E．Is a daytime run or bike ride in hot summer weather OK for our bodies? F．And consider wearing sun-protective clothing that blocks the sun, and include a hat. G．Make sure you are drinking water at least an hour before you head out to exercise. Passage5 (2024·湖南·二模) The first way we learn to communicate is through body language — our facial expressions, our gestures and, when we’re older, our postures. Even after we figure out how to speak, this non-verbal communication still exerts (施加) a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions, people’s first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. 36 . Change how you feel To de-stress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful. One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable. To feel more confident: 37 . Striking this so-called power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women, who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space. To persevere: 38 . In a 2008 study, students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides. Change how others feel 39 : Studies show that holding someone’s gaze may help people think you’re trustworthy and intelligent. According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, it can also make people think you’re a good listener. To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you’re talking to can help them feel more comfortable. One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill. To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you’re listening, sit facing them with your full body, knees and shoulders pointed at them. 40 . A．To come across as sincere B．But if you want to spread tension, angle your body slightly away — facing full-on is confrontational (对抗性的) when things get heated C．Here’s how to use body language to everyone’s benefit D．Making your index finger (食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength E．To inform people F．Standing like Wonder Woman — legs apart, hands on hips, chest up — may make you feel more powerful G．Crossing your arms across your chest can help you persist in solving a problem Passage6 (2024·广东广州·三模) The teenage years are a transformative period marked by great physical, psychological, and emotional changes. 41 They refer to the feelings that arise during interactions with others, such as gratitude, shame, sympathy, guilt, and pride. Understanding and managing social emotions can help develop teenagers’ identities. Teenagers experience a wide range of emotions from social interactions, which significantly influences their self-understanding and social awareness. In the process, they learn to understand, and appropriately respond to both their own emotions and those of others. 42 In academic settings, social emotional competencies like self-regulation, motivation, and social awareness directly impact a teenager’s ability to learn, participate, and engage in school activities. 43 Teenagers with strong social emotional skills are better equipped to handle stress, resist peer pressure, and avoid risky behaviors, reducing the likelihood of developing mental health issues. Learning social emotions involves a combination of personal experience, guidance, and formal education. 44 This environment influences teenagers’ earliest understanding of how to communicate and manage their emotions. They feel safe and supportive to express their emotions freely and learn to manage them without fear of judgment. Schools also play a significant role through social emotional learning programs that teach these skills in a structured environment. Community involvement, extracurricular activities, and peer (同伴) interactions offer additional opportunities for teenagers to practice and refine their social emotional skills. 45 It contributes to a teenager’s ability to manage their own emotions, understand others’ emotions, and face social complexities. This learning is a cornerstone for shaping their identity, influencing their interpersonal relationships, academic success, mental health, and future life outcomes. A．What exactly are social emotions? B．The journey into mature emotion is quite easy. C．Social emotion learning for teenagers is essential. D．Central to this phase is the concept of social emotions. E．This helps shape their own personal principles and beliefs. F．Families play a crucial role in modeling and developing these skills. G．Moreover, social emotional skills are closely linked to mental health. Passage7 (2024·重庆·三模) In modern life, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many. According to a survey conducted in 2023, 91 percent of adults reported experiencing high or extreme levels of stress. 46 One alternative gaining popularity is wellness tourism, praised as the fastest-growing sector in the travel industry. The change of scenery and adventurous nature of an active holiday can lead to an overall change in the dominant chemicals in our brain, triggering releases of dopamine (多巴胺). 47 We often see dopamine travel as a complete distraction from everyday life, which promotes meaning or growth. Besides, such a form of travel has been proven to increase feelings of well-being, as well as increases in general activity level. 48 This is particularly present for outdoor trips such as mountaineering or skiing where a sense of accomplishment can lead to long lasting increases in self worth and confidence. 49 Oliver Brendon, CEO of Attraction Tickets.com adds: “The dopamine travel trend is centered on immersing yourself in exciting landscapes, which is why the brightly-colored theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort make such popular destinations.” For more mindful moments, surrounding yourself in nature can create a sense of adventure and escape unlike traditional wellness getaways. 50 Going sailing on the tranquil lazy river at Discovery Cove is another wise choice. A．Consider choosing experiences like swimming with sea life. B．Try riding the popular roller coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. C．These benefits have been reported as lasting up to a long post-holiday time. D．This effect of certain holidays has coined a new travel trend — dopamine travel. E．As we struggle with this stress, promoting our well-being has become most significant. F．It’s evident that we are increasingly seeking comfort and refreshment in holiday experiences. G．Just as other dopamine trends encourage bright colors, our environments also play a, vital role. Passage8 (2024·黑龙江吉林·模拟预测) Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world. The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. 51 Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance. It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. 52 The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside. 53 The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent. Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. 54 For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. 55 . Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits. A．Location, in particular, was a key factor. B．His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable. C．The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards. D．However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions. E．An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification. F．Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G．Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine. Passage9 (2024·陕西榆林·一模) How to Start a Garden in 2024? Gardening is a powerful outlet for creativity, enabling you to surround yourself with beauty. It can provide homegrown food for your family, keep you in touch with nature and is also an invaluable form of exercise. In short, gardening is beneficial to both body and soul. 56 . It all starts with good soil. Whatever you’re growing, fertile soil is the key. 57 . It promotes root development, supplying nutrients for plant growth. Grow vegetables that keep on giving. 58 , choose ones you can harvest more than once. Lettuce and basil are quick and easy to grow. They’ll replace their leaves every time you cut them. Vegetables like these mean continuous harvests, which is huge for keeping spirits high. 59 . Some plants will grow tall and some will grow closer to the ground. Tall plants will shade shorter plants and prevent them getting needed sunshine. Also, give little seedlings plenty of room to stretch and grow. If they grow too close together, don’t be afraid to thin seedlings. Save money with seeds and cuttings. Buying all of your plants from the garden center is expensive. 60 . Reach out to friends and family who garden and ask them to share spare seeds with you. Also check to see if they have any plants you can take cuttings from. It takes longer than buying young plants, but it is definitely more satisfying and you will learn so much. A．If you need some help B．Size up your growing space C．If you’re a newcomer D．Here are some essential tips for beginners in gardening E．Choose a container size appropriate for what you are growing F．Investing in rich soil initially create s a suitable environment G．However, you can grow a huge range of plants from seeds or cuttings Passage10 (2024·江西南昌·三模) In order to grow and be better than before , you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Here are some strategies to help you become emotionally mature! You cannot change others. Everyone else is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions. It is completely normal. Keeping that in mind, it is better if you understand that you cannot change others, no matter how hard you try. Even if you try changing others and their feelings, you will only be hurting yourself in the process. 61 People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes. 62 This can be extremely painful. You need to communicate your needs to the other person, and they need to do the same with you. Never rely on expectations, which will only make you feel disappointed. Share your needs with your loved ones and see the positive changes. So communicate your needs. It is necessary to take responsibility for your actions. Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions. That is where they hurt others and themselves. 63 It won’t bring your self-respect down, and it will actually raise you as a person. 64 So it is wise to avoid negative people. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down, then you will always feel uncomfortable. If you are surrounded by happy people, you will always be delighted. Keep away from people who emotionally control others. 65 In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a supporting partner by your side. A．You need to mind whatever you do. B．You are known by the company you keep. C．Just as you try to be a mind reader, others expect so. D．The best course of action would be to change yourself. E．Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them. F．Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want. G．If you make a mistake and affect others negatively, apologize immediately. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$专题09 阅读理解七选五（解析版） 考题解读 阅读理解七选五在语法填空中占据十分重要的地位，它既是高考英语常考题也是必考题，本篇文章将具体梳理近五年新高考以“阅读理解七选五”为主题的文章句子。 解题技巧 一、快速浏览全文，了解文章大意 ●整体把握：首先用几秒钟的时间扫读全文，判断文章的类型和结构，这有助于把握文章的总体方向。 ●理解主题：快速浏览标题、首段和尾段，以及每段的首尾句，以获取文章的主题和大致内容。 二、仔细阅读空白处前后文 ●寻找线索：仔细阅读空白处前后的句子，找出与空白处内容相关的关键词、同义词、反义词、逻辑关系等线索。 ●分析语境：理解空白处前后文的语境，包括话题、语气、时态等，以便选择与之相匹配的句子。 三、分析选项，确定答案 ●排除法：首先排除与文章主题、结构或语境明显不符的选项，缩小选择范围。 ●逻辑关系：分析空白处与前后文之间的逻辑关系，如因果关系、转折关系、递进关系、平列关系等，选择符合逻辑关系的句子。 ●代词指代：注意代词在文中的作用，通过判断代词所指代的内容，确定句子的正确位置。 ●词汇重现：关注选项与原文中词汇的重现，包括原词复现、近义复现、同根词复现、上下义复现等，这些都可以作为选择答案的线索。 四、注意段落结构和主题句 ●段落主题句：段落主题句通常位于段首或段尾，概括了整段内容。如果空白处位于段首或段尾，要特别注意寻找或概括段落主题句。 ●段落结构：了解段落内部的结构，如总分关系、分总关系等，有助于确定句子在段落中的位置。 五、代入验证，确保连贯 ●代入选项：将选定的句子代入原文空白处，检查是否与前后文内容紧密相连，逻辑通顺。 ●全文通读：完成所有选项后，通读全文一遍，检查整篇文章的连贯性和逻辑性。 真题再现 精准练01  新高考卷 1.(2024年新高考I卷) 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). 1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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". 5 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. 2.(2024年新高考II卷 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. 6 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. 7 ●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. 8 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● 9 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. 10 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. 3.(2024年浙江卷1月) In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 11 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 12 We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 13 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. 14 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. 15 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts. A．But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines. B．Your motivation should be your main concern. C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E．The chief complain t about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. 4.(2023年新高考I卷) Personal Forgiveness Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 16 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 17 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 18 You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 19 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 20 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A．A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B．Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C．They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D．It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E．It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F．Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G．Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 5.(2023年新高考II卷) As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey. ·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. 21 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ·Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 22 ·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 23 Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online. · 24 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability. The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. 25 Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life. A．Get out of your comfort zone. B．Make career plans and set goals. C．Don’t throw away your beginner art. D．Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. E．You’ll hit roadblocks, and you’ll feel discouraged at times. F．Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role. G．You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. 6.(2023年浙江卷1月) With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 26 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 27 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 28 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 29 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. Have fun. 30 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. 7.(2023年北京卷) It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. 31 When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 32 Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 33 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. 34 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. 35 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A．Higher education has achieved its true potential. B．Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C．Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D．However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching. E．Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F．They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G．In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 8.(2022年新高考I卷) Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “ 36 ”  With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. So, how do you find a workout partner? First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39 You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A．Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B．A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C．You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D．Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E．How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F．Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G．Any notice for a training partner should include such information. 9.(2022年新高考II卷) Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques. 41 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 42 Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on. The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 43 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway. The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 44 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 45 The resulting blank space invites you to revise. A．Make sure your handwriting is neat. B．Let your pen follow the waves of thought. C．The second draft of the essay should be better. D．First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing. E．Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time. F．Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise. G．Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space. 10.(2022年浙江卷1月) I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but I have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed. 46 Pick the most important. 47 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive. I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies, but don't want the life of a big company CEO. My choices are based on the lifestyle I want. Combine your activities. Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc. 48 Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner. Build your social life around people in your work environment. Find people in your company who share common interests and develop your career (职业) around the people and activities you love. 49 You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. Lighten up. The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence. 50 Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way. A．Speed up. B．Be an active learner. C．Stop trying to balance time between them all. D．Make choices about what is meaningful in your life. E．The things you do well usually give you greater joy. F．Perhaps these tips will help you make the most of your time. G．This is why making lists is important in any productivity handbook. 11.(2022年浙江卷6月) I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. 51 Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. 52 And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. 53 You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. 54 Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. 55 This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience. A．It isn’t that these young people can’t write. B．But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. C．The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed. D．As a result, each year they received something they wanted. E．You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. F．As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. G．But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. 12.(2022年北京卷) Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life.

You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 61 But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love. Take your time.

There is one answer. 66 . In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks. ●Practice gratitude (感激) Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 67 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. ● Make yourself wait Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run.

A．Find your causes B．Start with small tasks C．Accept the uncomfortable D．All this adds up to a state of hurry E．It can also help us practice more patience F．This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable G．They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience 3.(2023年全国乙卷) Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways they are the unsung heroes of the home. 71 , but studies have shown that they can promote people’s wellbeing by improving their mood (心情), reducing stress and helping their memory. What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive. What are indoor plants? Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of these species (物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter. 72 . Why are indoor plants good for you? Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, “ 73 . I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can improve creativity, focus and memory. There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide. They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. 74 . Which plants can you grow? Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy plants from supermarkets, garden centres or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature — which is part of the joy of owning plants. “ 75 ,” Spoelstra says. “It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to make the link between home and nature.” A．All plants are different B．Not only do they look beautiful C．There are many benefits to growing plants indoors D．Instead, they grow better inside, where it is warmer E．Plants like peace lilies and devil’s ivy are among the best F．Changing the pot of your plant from time to time will also help G．Learning about the requirements of each plant can be very rewarding 4.(2022年全国甲卷) Important Things to Know When Dining Out Cultural dining etiquette (礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules. 76 . Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family — no matter where you are in the world. Chopstick Rules The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you. 77 . Hands or Utensils (餐具) In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. 78 , instead preferring to use their hands. In Chile, you may never touch any food with your fingers. People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons. Making Requests 79 . In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chef that you don’t like their seasoning skills. Similarly, in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food. Some of these cultural dining etiquette rules may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries. 80 , the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices.

Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships. ·Set a regular date Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 81 . ·More isn’t always merrier Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 82 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat. ·Practise empathy (共情) 83 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned. · 84 Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you. ·Don’t rely on technology alone 85 , but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it? Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible.

Learning faster means gaining more knowledge—quicker than others. 16 Anyone can learn from them and accelerate their learning process with the following techniques. Combine Learning Styles That Play to Your Strengths When you aim to accelerate your learning, what you choose to learn should not be limited to a curriculum or classroom structure. 17 Different materials along with your learning style can accelerate or slow down your comprehension process. The best learning style is the one that makes it easier to process, or comprehend ideas, and subjects faster. Once you know your learning strengths and weaknesses, you can choose learning strategies that play to your strengths. Seek First to Understand The Basic Structure of The Topic You Choose 18 So you need to seek first to understand the basics. In other words, you have to get to know the tree’s root, trunk, then branch out from there. Don’t start from the branches or the leaves, pursue the root and work your way to the topic. Therefore, whatever topic you choose to learn or study, just start with the basics. Give Yourself Plenty of Time in Both “Focused” And “Diffused”(分散的)Modes Normally, the human brain is not meant to stay in “focused” mode for hours at a time. 19 Consequently, when your brain is active for a very long time, you’re actually blocking your access to the diffused mode — a more relaxed state. Therefore, diffused mode is just as valuable as the focused mode. So — just take breaks, let your mind wander, think about other things, and give your brain plenty of time to make better connections. 20 A．You can benefit a lot from staying focused. B．Smart learners don’t have any special secrets. C．You should try to choose whatever you like best. D．Every topic or subject has a logical structure to it. E．Then you can learn better by imposing breaks on yourself. F．Long-lasting attention to a single task can block memory and recall. G．You can practically choose content from many sources, experts, and authors. Passage2 (2024·河南·模拟预测) How to Create the Perfect Spring Planter Spring containers are an easy solution for jazzing up a colorless balcony and boring corners of any garden at this time of year. 21 Choosing the right container is important. Always think about the style of your garden. 22 They are solid pots for spring as they don’t blow over in those early spring winds. Check that the pot has a large drainage (排水) hole to ensure that the soil drains well, but always cover it with a crock (like a piece from a broken flower planter) so that the soil doesn’t block the hole and create problems with drainage later down the line. Choosing the right compost (堆肥) is the key to the success of any planting. I think it’s best to use soil-based compost so that the soil does not become too heavy or waterlogged, especially in spring when we could have plenty of showers. 23 And too much water in the soil will freeze, preventing the plants from taking up the vital water. Plant combinations are important, so always think about mixes which will last as well as annual and perennial (多年生的) ones. 24 A bunch of pots forces the eye to look around and take in each pot and plant combination. A nice option is planting summer flowers like Dahlia or Lily to create a summer impact. 25 It can be achieved by using tall plants. If you don’t have a tall plant then you can always raise your pot off the ground with old house bricks or decorative pot feet, or use steps in your garden to create interest and drama. A pleasant smell is always a lovely addition to a space as well as wildlife. Select the right plant for your location in your garden－sun or shade-loving. A．I like good, weighty planters. B．It can still be frosty right up to May. C．And besides, they are so easy to care for. D．I also like to group pots together in different sizes. E．Capitalize on those variations to help choose companions. F．You may find some of these plants in smaller pots or even multi-packs. G．Height is important to think about when you’re designing your arrangement. Passage3 (2024·重庆沙坪坝·模拟预测) A lot of people assume the more work they put in at the gym, and the longer and harder they push themselves, the better their results will be. 26 But if you want to get the best gains, the key is to focus on the quality of the work rather than the quantity. Your body is capable of making only tiny adaptations and improvements at any one time. Once you've given it enough push to make these changes, any additional work you do after that point won't be making you any better. 27 This is because you'll need longer to recover afterwards. Besides, you won't feel fresh when you start your next session. Ideally, it's just enough to do the smallest amount of work required to promote growth in every workout. 28 Thus the minimum amount of exercise brings the maximum physical gains. 29 For example, if a new gym-goer wants to get stronger, he might start a squat (深蹲) workout, which is made up of ten steps, each having five repetitions. In theory, it's a sensible way for building strength. If he's only attempted three steps in his previous exercise, it's far from enough. The fourth step would push him past his previous limit and force adaptation. But the subsequent steps are meant for more professional people. 30 As a general rule, regardless of your experience, aim to only increase the volume of any exercise by one step from workout to workout. A．It seems logical. B．Instead, it'll harm your progress. C．It's natural that you may want to keep fit. D．After that, you can stop exercising during the day. E．Only in this way can you enjoy the benefit of exercise. F．They would just increase the chance of injury for beginners. G．How much exercise you need to do depends on your current fitness level. Passage4 (2024·重庆·模拟预测) This summer, climate change continues to push Earth’s weather to extremes. 31 We invite some experts to discuss the science behind exercising in the heat, how to keep your body safe, and what to do if you suspect you or someone you’re with has heat exhaustion. 32 If you had a heavy meal like a cheeseburger, you’ll want to wait two to three hours before your hot outdoor exercise, since that fat and protein-rich meal will take even longer to move through the digestive process. Should you eat after that hot run? No. You can hydrate right away, but wait until you’ve cooled off to eat. That’s because digesting food will delay getting your body back to its usual temperature. Protect your skin — it’s the body’s cooling system. Your skin and related tissues are incredibly designed to move warm blood away from your core to keep your vital organs cool. Any damage to your skin or the underlying tissue prevents your body from being able to air condition itself. To protect your skin, start with sunscreen. 33 . Wear materials that will help your body breathe. 34 Wear sweat-wicking athletic clothing that allows your skin to cool. Avoid materials like cotton that basically keep the heat close to your body. Hydrate before, during and after exercise. Dehydration can really happen to you. 35 Besides, keep drinking while you’re working out. A．Don’t eat right before you head out. B．Try more heat-friendly forms of exercise. C．The type of suitable clothing you wear can also help you stay cool. D．But high outside temperatures in a dry climate can also be dangerous. E．Is a daytime run or bike ride in hot summer weather OK for our bodies? F．And consider wearing sun-protective clothing that blocks the sun, and include a hat. G．Make sure you are drinking water at least an hour before you head out to exercise. Passage5 (2024·湖南·二模) The first way we learn to communicate is through body language — our facial expressions, our gestures and, when we’re older, our postures. Even after we figure out how to speak, this non-verbal communication still exerts (施加) a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions, people’s first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. 36 . Change how you feel To de-stress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful. One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable. To feel more confident: 37 . Striking this so-called power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women, who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space. To persevere: 38 . In a 2008 study, students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides. Change how others feel 39 : Studies show that holding someone’s gaze may help people think you’re trustworthy and intelligent. According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, it can also make people think you’re a good listener. To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you’re talking to can help them feel more comfortable. One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill. To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you’re listening, sit facing them with your full body, knees and shoulders pointed at them. 40 . A．To come across as sincere B．But if you want to spread tension, angle your body slightly away — facing full-on is confrontational (对抗性的) when things get heated C．Here’s how to use body language to everyone’s benefit D．Making your index finger (食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength E．To inform people F．Standing like Wonder Woman — legs apart, hands on hips, chest up — may make you feel more powerful G．Crossing your arms across your chest can help you persist in solving a problem Passage6 (2024·广东广州·三模) The teenage years are a transformative period marked by great physical, psychological, and emotional changes. 41 They refer to the feelings that arise during interactions with others, such as gratitude, shame, sympathy, guilt, and pride. Understanding and managing social emotions can help develop teenagers’ identities. Teenagers experience a wide range of emotions from social interactions, which significantly influences their self-understanding and social awareness. In the process, they learn to understand, and appropriately respond to both their own emotions and those of others. 42 In academic settings, social emotional competencies like self-regulation, motivation, and social awareness directly impact a teenager’s ability to learn, participate, and engage in school activities. 43 Teenagers with strong social emotional skills are better equipped to handle stress, resist peer pressure, and avoid risky behaviors, reducing the likelihood of developing mental health issues. Learning social emotions involves a combination of personal experience, guidance, and formal education. 44 This environment influences teenagers’ earliest understanding of how to communicate and manage their emotions. They feel safe and supportive to express their emotions freely and learn to manage them without fear of judgment. Schools also play a significant role through social emotional learning programs that teach these skills in a structured environment. Community involvement, extracurricular activities, and peer (同伴) interactions offer additional opportunities for teenagers to practice and refine their social emotional skills. 45 It contributes to a teenager’s ability to manage their own emotions, understand others’ emotions, and face social complexities. This learning is a cornerstone for shaping their identity, influencing their interpersonal relationships, academic success, mental health, and future life outcomes. A．What exactly are social emotions? B．The journey into mature emotion is quite easy. C．Social emotion learning for teenagers is essential. D．Central to this phase is the concept of social emotions. E．This helps shape their own personal principles and beliefs. F．Families play a crucial role in modeling and developing these skills. G．Moreover, social emotional skills are closely linked to mental health. Passage7 (2024·重庆·三模) In modern life, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many. According to a survey conducted in 2023, 91 percent of adults reported experiencing high or extreme levels of stress. 46 One alternative gaining popularity is wellness tourism, praised as the fastest-growing sector in the travel industry. The change of scenery and adventurous nature of an active holiday can lead to an overall change in the dominant chemicals in our brain, triggering releases of dopamine (多巴胺). 47 We often see dopamine travel as a complete distraction from everyday life, which promotes meaning or growth. Besides, such a form of travel has been proven to increase feelings of well-being, as well as increases in general activity level. 48 This is particularly present for outdoor trips such as mountaineering or skiing where a sense of accomplishment can lead to long lasting increases in self worth and confidence. 49 Oliver Brendon, CEO of Attraction Tickets.com adds: “The dopamine travel trend is centered on immersing yourself in exciting landscapes, which is why the brightly-colored theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort make such popular destinations.” For more mindful moments, surrounding yourself in nature can create a sense of adventure and escape unlike traditional wellness getaways. 50 Going sailing on the tranquil lazy river at Discovery Cove is another wise choice. A．Consider choosing experiences like swimming with sea life. B．Try riding the popular roller coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. C．These benefits have been reported as lasting up to a long post-holiday time. D．This effect of certain holidays has coined a new travel trend — dopamine travel. E．As we struggle with this stress, promoting our well-being has become most significant. F．It’s evident that we are increasingly seeking comfort and refreshment in holiday experiences. G．Just as other dopamine trends encourage bright colors, our environments also play a, vital role. Passage8 (2024·黑龙江吉林·模拟预测) Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world. The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. 51 Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance. It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. 52 The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside. 53 The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent. Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. 54 For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. 55 . Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits. A．Location, in particular, was a key factor. B．His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable. C．The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards. D．However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions. E．An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification. F．Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G．Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine. Passage9 (2024·陕西榆林·一模) How to Start a Garden in 2024? Gardening is a powerful outlet for creativity, enabling you to surround yourself with beauty. It can provide homegrown food for your family, keep you in touch with nature and is also an invaluable form of exercise. In short, gardening is beneficial to both body and soul. 56 . It all starts with good soil. Whatever you’re growing, fertile soil is the key. 57 . It promotes root development, supplying nutrients for plant growth. Grow vegetables that keep on giving. 58 , choose ones you can harvest more than once. Lettuce and basil are quick and easy to grow. They’ll replace their leaves every time you cut them. Vegetables like these mean continuous harvests, which is huge for keeping spirits high. 59 . Some plants will grow tall and some will grow closer to the ground. Tall plants will shade shorter plants and prevent them getting needed sunshine. Also, give little seedlings plenty of room to stretch and grow. If they grow too close together, don’t be afraid to thin seedlings. Save money with seeds and cuttings. Buying all of your plants from the garden center is expensive. 60 . Reach out to friends and family who garden and ask them to share spare seeds with you. Also check to see if they have any plants you can take cuttings from. It takes longer than buying young plants, but it is definitely more satisfying and you will learn so much. A．If you need some help B．Size up your growing space C．If you’re a newcomer D．Here are some essential tips for beginners in gardening E．Choose a container size appropriate for what you are growing F．Investing in rich soil initially create s a suitable environment G．However, you can grow a huge range of plants from seeds or cuttings Passage10 (2024·江西南昌·三模) In order to grow and be better than before , you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Here are some strategies to help you become emotionally mature! You cannot change others. Everyone else is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions. It is completely normal. Keeping that in mind, it is better if you understand that you cannot change others, no matter how hard you try. Even if you try changing others and their feelings, you will only be hurting yourself in the process. 61 People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes. 62 This can be extremely painful. You need to communicate your needs to the other person, and they need to do the same with you. Never rely on expectations, which will only make you feel disappointed. Share your needs with your loved ones and see the positive changes. So communicate your needs. It is necessary to take responsibility for your actions. Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions. That is where they hurt others and themselves. 63 It won’t bring your self-respect down, and it will actually raise you as a person. 64 So it is wise to avoid negative people. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down, then you will always feel uncomfortable. If you are surrounded by happy people, you will always be delighted. Keep away from people who emotionally control others. 65 In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a supporting partner by your side. A．You need to mind whatever you do. B．You are known by the company you keep. C．Just as you try to be a mind reader, others expect so. D．The best course of action would be to change yourself. E．Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them. F．Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want. G．If you make a mistake and affect others negatively, apologize immediately. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 高考真题参考答案： 1．F 2．B 3．E 4．A 5．D 【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。 1．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。 2．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。 3．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.

(但无论你什么时候去旅行，最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完，所以要提前安排预定，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境，D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。 27．根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. (这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上穿过几节车厢了。)”可知，好的旅行社帮你预定，不仅可以找到打折的票，还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离，G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与前后文对应，因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。 28．根据上文“When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one.(当你乘坐火车时，你不会免费获得一条毯子，即使你的旅行是过夜的。)”以及下文“In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. (特别是在夏天，空调会让他们很冷。)”可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与前后文对应，因此推断C项“列车上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。 29．根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟，有些火车一周只开三趟，所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间，不是到达时间。)”可知，本段提醒要提前安排时间，错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。 30．根据上文“Have fun.(玩得开心)”以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts).”(要计算你的速度，用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。)”可知，本段讲述如何度过乘车时间，A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人与后文要计算时间，用不同的方式打发时间对应，符合语境。故选A项。 【点睛】 31．D 32．F 33．G 34．B 35．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择高校提供了一些建议。 31．根据空前内容“It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.(对于美国的学生和他们的家人来说，这是一年中既快乐又紧张的时刻，因为他们要决定去哪里上大学。家庭经常求助于排名系统来帮助做决定。)”可知，美国的学生和家人们在决定去哪儿上大学时，经常求助于排名系统。而根据下文第三段“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. (最新的研究表明，排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”可推断出，本文主要讲述的是排名方面出现的问题。选项D“However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.(然而，排名忽略了一个关键因素：教学质量。)”延续上文内容，指出大学排名存在的问题；而根据下文内容也可以推断，排名中存在的问题是教学质量被忽略。故选D。 32．根据空前内容“When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.(作为一名研究高等教育的学者，当我与一些家庭交谈时，他们常常惊讶地发现，优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名。)”可知，大学排名中优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名让人们觉得很惊讶。选项F“They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.(更让他们惊讶的是，大学竟然低估了教学的价值。)”延续上文内容，指的都是大学排名忽略教学质量。其中“more surprised”和上文的“surprised”保持一致。故选F。 33．空前内容“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.(最新的研究表明，排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”以及空后内容“The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.(考虑到高质量教学与学生成功之间的联系，排名中没有优秀教学令人惊讶。优质教学是衡量大学成绩的最重要因素之一。)”讲述的都是大学排名中没有考虑到教学。选项G“In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.(事实上，大学经常把重点从教学转移到其他排名因素上。)”与上下文内容相一致，故选G。 34．根据空前内容“Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding.(然而，排名只是高等教育中对教学重视程度较低的一个原因。管理者通常不会将卓越的教学视为增加入学率或资金的一种方式。)”可知，上文分析了教学不被纳入排名的原因，该空应该讲其后果。选项B“Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.(因此，它在招聘或晋升中不受重视。)”是上文内容的延续，正因为管理人员通常不把卓越的教学视为增加入学率或增加资金的一种方式，所以教学在招聘和晋升中不受重视。故选B。 35．根据下文内容“Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.(尽管如此，在拥有高质量教学的学校获得更多资源、更高排名和增加入学人数之前，不会有太大变化。从长远来看，大学、学校排名组织和其他机构应该努力使教学成为使命的一个有价值的核心部分。)”可知，此处算是站在大学的角度，提出如何把教学当成他们的首要核心任务。根据“Nevertheless”可知，空处内容和下文内容存在转折关系。选项E“Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.(在最近，努力改进教学水平的现象已经出现了。)”与下文形成转折，旨在说明，促使教学成为核心任务的艰巨性和重要性。故选E。 【点睛】 36．C 37．D 38．B 39．G 40．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。 36．根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 37．根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 38．根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 39．根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 40．根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit.

That’s because digesting food will delay getting your body back to its usual temperature.(如果你吃了一顿像芝士汉堡这样的大餐，你会想等两到三个小时再进行户外运动，因为富含脂肪和蛋白质的大餐需要更长的时间才能通过消化过程。热跑之后你应该吃东西吗？不。你可以马上补充水分，但要等到身体冷却后再吃。这是因为消化食物会延迟你的身体恢复正常体温)”可知，本段的建议是出门前不要吃太多东西。故A选项“出门前不要吃东西”符合语境，故选A。 33．根据本段主旨句“Protect your skin — it’s the body’s cooling system.(保护你的皮肤——这是身体的冷却系统)”可知，本段主要建议保护皮肤。前文“To protect your skin, start with sunscreen.(为了保护你的皮肤，从防晒霜开始)”讲述了可以使用防晒霜来保护皮肤，空处应是其他保护皮肤的方式，F项“并考虑穿宽松、轻便、能遮挡阳光的衣服。”建议穿有防晒作用的衣服，符合题意。故选F。 34．根据上文“Wear materials that will help your body breathe.(穿有助于身体呼吸的衣服)”以及后文“Wear sweat-wicking athletic clothing that allows your skin to cool.
