(2024·河北石家庄高三质检)
Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.
It was my twelfth year of dancing. I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.
However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者).She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.
With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.
As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy(奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that I could let everything go and just dance what I feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.

(2024·济南3月模拟)
In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of“speaker” and the other to take on the role of“listener”. After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于如何与陌生人互动交往的研究。
5.What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers?
A.Speaking a little less is preferred.
B.Speaking half the time is the best.
C.Listeners are more likable than speakers.
D.Listeners fail to control the conversations.
答案:A

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题5分,共25分)
(2024·济宁高三一模)
Psychologists have long believed that human beings have a fairly consistent“negativity bias(消极偏见)” that leads us to pay more attention to negative thoughts, feelings and events than to positive ones. 1 There is a positive explanation for the question. After all, we are motivated to grow after a misstep. However, we can’t abandon ourselves to the negativity bias forever. How? 2
Practice Positivity. Like your muscles, your thought patterns respond to how they are used and exercised. You don’t have to erase the negativity bias from your mind. 3 For example, set calendar reminders throughout your day to convey an expression of gratitude or simply adjust your body language so you’re holding yourself with strength and confidence.
4 We’re living in a time of pandemic or financial stress and deep division. Our negativity biases call our attention toward those realities. But we are well served to also see the opportunities in this moment: Maybe there’s a home project we otherwise wouldn’t have found time to tackle.
Ask for Positive Reminders. Get in the habit of checking in with people who are with you when goodness finds you today. Mention to them,“That is an unexpected bit of praise from the boss, isn’t it?” 5 And who knows, you may help your friend, family member or coworker have a more positive day as well!
A.Try the following suggested ideas.
B.Redefine negativity as an opportunity.
C.Instead, practice your positive lifestyle.
D.Its negative influence can never be avoided.
E.Why and how does this phenomenon happen?
F.How do you handle it as you try to live with more positivity?
G.Asking others to confirm your positive insights can facilitate your positivity.

4.答案:B

5.答案:G
解析:由本段小标题“Ask for Positive Reminders.”(索要积极的提醒。)和上句可知,在本段中作者建议读者要去向别人索要积极的提醒来摆脱消极偏见,如用反义疑问句“那是来自老板出乎意料的表扬,不是吗?”来肯定自己的积极性,G选项“让别人确认你的积极见解可以促进你的积极性。”承接上文符合语境。故选G项。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了送礼物的历史及意义。
1.答案:our
解析:考查代词。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作定语,修饰后面的名词feelings,所以应用形容词性物主代词;we的形容词性物主代词为our。故填our。
2.答案:activities
解析:考查名词的单复数。“one of+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”,此处应用名词的复数形式。故填activities。
3.答案:to
解析:考查介词。date back to为固定短语,表示“追溯到”。故填to。
4.答案:fairly
解析:考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中修饰形容词common,作状语,应用副词形式;fair的副词形式为fairly“相当地”。故填fairly。
5.答案:appreciation
解析:考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作show的宾语,应用名词形式;结合句意可知,此处指“对那些为重要成就做出贡献的人表示感谢”,appreciation意为“感谢”时为不可数名词。故填appreciation。
6.答案:or
解析:考查连词。分析句子结构可知,空处后面的some other items that were natural in origin 与前面的an unusually shaped rock, a tooth from an animal, the bark from a tree为并列结构,故此处应用并列连词;再结合前面的Whether 可知,此处表示选择,故填or。
7.答案:are given
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语。主语为gifts,与give 之间为动宾关系,所以句子应用被动语态;结合上下文时态可知,此处表示一般陈述,故该句应用一般现在时;主语gifts为复数形式,所以be动词应用are。故填are given。
8.答案:why
解析:考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处位于介词of后,在句中引导一个宾语从句,从句中不缺主干成分;结合句意可知,此处表示“为什么送礼物如此有益”,空处在从句中作原因状语,应用why引导该从句。故填why。
9.答案:to connect/to be connected
解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词,空处应填所给词的非谓语形式。allow sb to do sth为固定搭配,表示“允许某人做某事”,空处应用动词不定式,故可填to connect。此外,根据常识可知,人与人之间的联系是双向的,此处也可以表示“被联系”,所以也可用to be connected。故填to connect/to be connected。
10.答案:best
解析:考查形容词的最高级。根据空处前面的定冠词the和后面的in 可知,此处指“我们最好的一面”,所以应用形容词的最高级。故填best。
