(2024·皖南八校高三第二次联考)As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time.But with that freedom comes the responsibility to make the most of your studying hours.Here are some tips to help you do just that.
·Create a schedule
This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible.Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate(偏离)from your plan.1.________.
·Break up your study sessions into smaller periods
Our brain can't focus effectively for a long time.If you try to study for several hours once, chances are much higher that you won't remember all of the information you're trying to learn.2.________.
·Find a study place that works for you
3.________.Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better.There is no right or wrong answer here—it's all about finding a place to study that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.
·4.________
This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review.And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on, it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.
·Don't be afraid to ask for help
If you find that you're struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you'd like, seek assistance in time.5.________.In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need.

C.There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance
D.Make sure that every minute you spend studying counts
E.However, try not to go offtrack too often or for too long
F.Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time
G.Instead, divide your study sessions up into shorter periods to help you relax and recharge
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了一些有效利用学习时间的方法。
1.解析:选E。结合空前的内容可知, 有时我们会因为一些临时的事情偏离计划, 再结合选项可知, E项(然而, 尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道)承接上文, 且其中的“go offtrack”与上文的“deviate from your plan”呼应, 符合语境。
2.解析:选G。根据本段小标题“Break up your study sessions into smaller periods”可知, 本段主要介绍将学习时间分成若干个时段, 以便能高效学习, 空前介绍了连续几个小时学习但效率不高的状况, G项(相反, 把你的学习时间分成更短的时间段来帮助你放松和恢复精力)与上文构成转折关系, 符合语境。
3.解析:选F。由本段的小标题可知, 本段主要介绍要找一个适合学习的地方, F项(你在哪里学习也会影响你如何有效地利用时间)承接本段小标题且引出下文, F项中的Where和小标题中的place对应, 符合语境。
4.解析:选A。根据设空处的位置可知, 设空处为本段的小标题。通览本段内容, 尤其是文中的“check...need more review”“make better use”可知, 这里主要介绍如何检验自己对所学内容的理解程度, 故A项(进行相关测试)符合语境。
5.解析:选C。空前讲到要及时寻求帮助, 空后提到获得需要的帮助可以节约许多时间, C项(承认你需要帮助并不可耻)承上启下, 符合语境, 同时C项中的need assistance与上文中的seek assistance相呼应。

(2024·江苏省南通第一次调研测试)People have tried everything to get more sleep.But unlike almost every other area of life,effort is not rewarded.1.________ The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your sleep that might just work.
2.________There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight.There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month.So instead of worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a longterm goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks rather than tomorrow.
Don't go to bed too early.Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleepdrive to sleep for eight hours at night.Having an early night can mean you won't be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily.Don't pay too much attention to the exact times or the hours of sleep you are getting—the details don't matter.And don't take naps (小睡) in the afternoon.3.________
Smile more.Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation.As you turn the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile to yourself in the dark.4.________ Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow.
Stop reading articles about sleep.None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better sleep.In fact,constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse.5.________ Make this the last article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.
A.Try to stay awake at night.
B.In fact,it is actively rejected.
C.Give up trying to sleep tonight.
D.So give sleep less of your attention.
E.They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.
F.It doesn't have to be a genuine,heartfelt smile.
G.You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了能够让我们有更好的睡眠状态的几条建议。
1.解析:选B。空前提到尽管人们通过各种方法获得睡眠,但付出并非总是有回报,空后表示你越努力,成功的可能性就越小,结合选项可知,B项(事实上,它是完全不接受的。)此处指睡眠这件事并不符合上文所说的道理,承上启下,符合语境。
2.解析:选C。根据设空处位置和其他段落结构可知,设空处为本段的主题句。根据空后的“There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight.There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month.”可知,此处强调不要为当下的睡眠作出积极的准备,而是要做长远打算。C项(放弃设法今晚入睡)能够概括本段内容,符合语境。

5.解析:选D。根据空前的“In fact,constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse.”可知,不断寻求解决方法毫无疑问会让你的问题变得更糟糕,D项(所以不要太关注睡眠这件事)与上文构成因果关系,符合语境。

(2024·湖南高三质量监测一)April is the cruellest month...Or so said gloomy poet T.S.Eliot in his long poem,The Waste Land.It seems he wasn't wrong.Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)—otherwise known as the “winter blues”—is a wellknown condition.But, surprisingly, some people feel more depressed in spring and summer than at other times of the year.The days getting warmer and longer, and the fact that spring flowers and blossom represent new beginnings for some people,just make the spring blues worse for others.1.________
What Causes Reverse SAD?
Because it's not well understood or often spotted, it's hard to pin down the reasons for feeling down when everyone else seems to be full of the joys of springtime.With winter SAD,less sunlight is thought to disrupt the body's internal clock and bring on depression.2.________ You might also be tempted to stay up later, throwing out your body clock.
How Do You Recognize It?
3.________ Do you love the cold and feel much more energized at that time of year, while spring makes you feel much less positive? Again, this could be reverse SAD.And it sometimes runs in families, so look around at your nearest and dearest and note how they feel about the advent of warmer,brighter days.
4.________
Exercise can work wonders.A study found that ten weeks of standard exercise was 20 percent more effective than medication.And get plenty of sleep.Try to get up at the same time every day,even if you haven't slept well.5.________
A.Can Exercise Help Overcome Reverse SAD?
B.Can You Shake off the Spring Blues?
C.This phenomenon is sometimes called “reverse SAD”.
D.The spring blues may have a negative effect on people.
E.Like traditional SAD,spring depression comes back at the same time every year.
F.But if your depression shows no sign of lifting, see your doctor.

2.解析:选G。根据小标题What Causes Reverse SAD?可知,本段介绍了反向季节性情感障碍是由哪些原因引起的。G项(一方面,反向季节性情感障碍可能是由过多的阳光引起的)符合语境,其中might be caused与空后might also be tempted相呼应。
3.解析:选E。根据设空处后一句可知,设空处应引起下文,介绍反向季节性情感障碍发生在春季。E项(和传统的季节性情感障碍一样,春季抑郁现象每年都会在同一时间卷土重来)符合语境,同时E项中的spring与设空处后一句中的spring属于原词复现;且E项中的at the same time与空后一句at that time of year相对应。
4.解析:选B。根据设空处位置可知,设空处是本段小标题。根据本段的内容可知,本段是在说明如何摆脱反向季节性情感障碍,且后文提到exercise和“get up at the same time”两种帮助摆脱的方法,故B项(你能摆脱春季抑郁吗?)符合语境。
5.解析:选F。结合上文内容可知,本段主要说明如何摆脱季节性情感障碍,F项(但如果你的抑郁没有好转的迹象,就需要去看医生)与上文构成转折关系,符合语境。

Ways to Build Resilience (适应力)
Being resilient isn't about avoiding misfortune,but rather how we respond to it.Resilience means doing well in the face of risk or difficulty.1.______Being resilient can help your manage stress,lower you chances of depression, and has even been proven to make people live longer.To build resilience, the experts suggest the following:
Start with reaching out for support.Lack of social support can lead to decreased resilience.While it's easy to let go of important relationships in our busy lives, 2.________Good relationships are a pillar (柱状物) of rock for resilience and are a source of support when the times get tough.
Cultivating your sense of humor is also a plus.3.________Humor helps you to gain perspective during hard times.It also improves your sense of wellbeing through an increase in dopamine(多巴胺)levels in your brain, and can ultimately increase your overall health.
4.________Having goals and dreams increases resilience.A lack of purpose and goals reduces resilience and may leave you open to being taken advantage of, manipulation(操纵),and poor life choices; it reduces your sense of control over your life,which can easily lead to depression and anxiety.

A.it is vital to make room for them.

3.解析:选D。根据该空前面提到的“the times get tough”以及后面的“Humor helps you to gain perspective during hard times”可知,该空前后都提到了艰难时期,由此可知,此处应选D项“艰难时期需要看到较光明的一面。”
