In a sense, it really matters. Energy restoration The word “breakfast” comes from “breaking the fast” — the idea of ending the period in which we didn’t eat during the night. The regeneration process that takes place while we sleep consumes some of our natural food reserves to heal our bodies. 2 So, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense. Weight management There are also many often-quoted studies which seem to link a state of obesity with skipping breakfast. 3 In a US study, 50,000 people were monitored over seven years, and those who ate a healthy breakfast were found to have a lower BMI, which seems to suggest that breakfast may indeed help people maintain a healthy weight. Better brain function 4 Breakfast is also associated with improved brain function, including concentration and language. A review of 54 studies found that eating breakfast can improve memory, though the effects on other brain functions were inconclusive.

High-protein breakfasts have been found particularly effective in reducing food cravings and consumption later in the day.

G．It seems that this feast, for many of us, is necessary for our day to start well. （二） （23-24高二上·河南信阳·期中）Have you considered how to choose your major in university, which is of great significance for your future career? Here is some practical advice. Don’t choose a major merely based on money or the salary prospect, otherwise mistakes will happen. 6 . Can you see yourself investing the next 40 years in this career without getting bored? Actually choosing a major with a high-paying career won’t guarantee you a high-paying job. 7 .

The opinions of your family aren’t something to ignore. 10 . After all, the choice is ultimately yours.

Students do better in school. Students who go on field trips generally have better grades. 12 In fact, in a study conducted by some researchers, 89% of adults said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career. It's because the trips made them more curious and interested in and out of school. 13 When exploring a new place, students have the opportunity to listen to and talk to new people. They can learn how to effectively communicate with strangers, get along with them and work with them. For example, they may acquire the skill of using body language to interact with strangers. Students learn to be more independent. A field trip includes many things. Although adults are in charge, it’s also up to students to figure out what exhibits they want to learn about, how they can finish certain tasks, etc. During field trips, students can have many such situations to learn to be independent. In the process, they sometimes may feel unpleasant and stressed. 14 Students develop a stronger connection to a neighborhood.

My writing got better. Writing did make me become a better writer. 16 It’s almost impossible to keep doing something over and over again without getting better at it, so when I say writing has improved my writing skills, it would be foolish to disagree. I feel much more confident with words. Writing helped me build a good relationship with the English language. Before, I had to check and recheck every word I wanted to use in an article to be sure I was using it correctly. 17 And I’m proud to say that I can use words effectively without having to run to a dictionary every second. My imagination and speed grew. The more I wrote, the more my imagination grew so that everything around me started becoming an inspiration for an article. 18 I also went from someone who struggled to come up with a 450-word essay, to someone who could put together a 1,000-word essay in less than 30 minutes. 19 Just the act of putting down some words and creating a work of pure imagination gives me inner joy and peace. Whenever I feel down, I write. Finally ... Writing is a skill that anyone could acquire if they put hard work into it. So next time you’re lonely or just bubbling with anxiety, try writing. 20 Just pour out your heart on your paper or screen. A．My mental health has improved. B．Writing helps me recover memories.

Some scientists claim that play is a natural instinct, just like sleep. 21 Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Both team and individual sports have advantages and disadvantages. In a team sport such as soccer, you’re part of a group, struggling to be a winning team. 22 In an individual sport such as tennis, you’re usually concerned only about your own performance. That can make these sports more challenging. There’s little doubt about the value of sports. We learn how to negotiate plans, settle disagreements, and monitor our attitude. Since organized sports are a hands-on, minds-on learning process, they stimulate our imagination, curiosity, and creativity. 23 For example, we use language during play to solve problems, and we use math skills to recognize averages and odds of each sports play. In a perfect world, everyone would have fun playing sports. 24 Sports can cause broken bones, scrapes and bruises. They can also hurt us psychologically. When young children play self-initiated games such as hide-and-seek, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Playing sports doesn’t mean you have to play on a school team. Few people have what it takes to be a professional athlete. But your school basketball coach or gymnastics teacher has found a way to make play their work. In doing so, they’ve found a profession best suited to their abilities. 25 There’s no better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. A．But that’s not always the case. B．Regardless of your sport, play to have fun. C．Sports may have begun as a form of survival. D．The skills we learn can be applied to school and work. E．This might explain why sports are likely to be as old as humanity. F．There are rules to obey, skills to learn, and strategies to carry out. G．You must learn to get along with your teammates and share responsibility. （六） （23-24高二上·福建漳州·期中）Getting regular exercise in this day and age can be tough.

From detailed guides to personal stories, these books offer readers a way to experience the world without ever leaving their homes.

If you don’t like going to the gym, gardening is an enjoyable way to help you keep fit. You can include gardening in your life in many ways. Decide what you want to grow. 37 Different plants need varying amounts of care. Make choices about what to grow based on how much time you have, where you live, and how much money you can invest in your plants. 38 A community garden is a shared space where people grow plants in one large area or in smaller individual plots. Search online for community gardens near you. This is also a great place to ask questions and learn from experienced gardeners. Grow plants indoors. You don’t need to own land to start gardening. 39 All you need is a window or artificial sunlight source, potting soil, containers, and other supplies based on what plants you grow.

Responsibility is a virtue that everyone should have. But it seems that nowadays most people are willing to take convenience over responsibility. 41 After all, your world is a reflection of you and you alone. Being responsible means being aware. The first step of responsibility starts with being aware of your actions. Consciously or unconsciously, your actions are affecting those around you. 42 Be responsible and be mindful of every word you say and every act you commit. 43 Seize the present moment, and do all you can today to become a more responsible person. Your responsible acts today will lead to a responsible future. Being responsible involves humility (谦逊). Responsibility means accepting the consequences of your actions, even if it is the expense of your ego (自我). We all make mistakes. 44 By accepting responsibility, we can improve our integrity.

Whatever the drive behind it, it is impossible for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week. But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, many people make use of a PT—that’s a personal trainer. This might be because they’re wet behind the ears or maybe they just don’t want to design their own workout plan. A PT will create a proper plan for you based on your aims. 46 And, better still, they will teach you how to move in a way that won’t weaken you. 47 Each hourly session can be expensive because you have to pay both the PT and membership of the gym, too. If you are short of cash then regular sessions might be out of your budget. So what’s left? 48 It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. But before you do, here are some basic pointers. First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down, bulk up(健壮), or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are in pursuit of that goal. Next, do your research. These days, social media is chock-full of fitness videos and advice. Watch as many of these as possible and be a little critical of them. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. 49 It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t exercise too much—never work in pain—a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. 50 If nothing else, focus on calisthenics(健美操)—these are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere, even at home. A．Pain means you are damaging yourself. B．They will charge you for their train work. C．They will tailor it to your current abilities. D．However, the trade-off with a PT is the price.

People high in hope are optimistic about their future and believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles. 51 Here are tips on how to cultivate hope. Set and achieve goals. Without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Hopeful people usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. 52 Getting three emails out in the next 15minutes or preparing lunch in the next 20 minutes are simple examples. Stick with positive people. 53 This doesn’t mean being intolerant of another person’s difficulties, negativity, or struggles, but it does mean that hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright and proactive attitude. They maintain a healthy balance but don’t get overwhelmed by the negativity around them. 54 While believing in oneself is important, highly hopeful people are able to forgive themselves as well. This is a unique combination because this type of confidence allows a person to be imperfect. In addition, they are willing to take reasonable risks and accept failures to support their growth and move forward. Keep a positive outlook. No matter what life throws at them, they endeavor to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. 55 A．Believe in the power of risks. B．Be self-reflective and confident. C．This is key to the success of many high-hope people. D．One way this gets done is through achievable micro-goals. E．Being around positive people contributes to keeping optimistic. F．Therefore, they’re constantly trying to improve themselves and their skill sets. G．Instead, they work out solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way. （十二） （23-24高二上·河南开封·期中）Four Ways to Beat the Monday Blues Are you feeling down because the weekend is almost over? Take it easy, and you can try the following ways to help you overcome the Monday Blues. Make a list for your next week. Instead of focusing on difficult tasks that lay ahead of you, think about all the good to come. 56 A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend. If it’s hard to come up with three things to look forward to, get planning ASAP! We’re not talking about anything difficult, just simple things that uplift you like meeting a friend for coffee. 57 Sleep has a tremendous effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor or inadequate sleep can cause stress, while healthy sleep can enhance well-being.” So, if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer. 58 It’s worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning. Choose your favorite clothes. 59 In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low. In short, wearing whatever you like on Monday makes you feel great! Arrange some easy tasks. After a weekend of fun and taking it easy, it might be best to keep Monday’s schedule a little lighter than other days. This doesn’t mean sitting around and drowning in your blues. It means that instead of facing the most complicated stuff on a Monday, put some time into the easier tasks. 60 A．Form a routine of daily life. B．Go to bed early on Sunday night. C．Don’t underestimate the power of a suit. D．Reduce Monday Blues by allowing yourself to do Monday with ease. E．Putting less pressure on yourself is a good way to beat the Monday Blues.

Of course you would! 61 Besides, gratitude requires little time and no money. But why can gratitude improve our productivity and results? 62 We learn the importance of saying “thank you” as little children. This childhood lesson is extremely of great use. 63 How do you feel about them? Does their appreciation positively impact your relation with them? Of course it does! So be grateful for people, their contributions and their actions and make sure you let them know how you feel. Gratitude improves problem solving skills. 64 However, when we think about what we are grateful for, we open our minds up to new possibilities and connections. We also enter a problem solving situation with a perspective of opportunity rather than challenge or issue. Gratitude helps us learn. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. 65 Being grateful for our situation, even if we don’t like everything about it, allows us to be thankful for opportunity to learn something new. So the more aware and grateful we are of what we have and our capabilities, the more capable and elective we become in living. A．Gratitude improves attitudes. B．Gratitude improves relationships. C．Behind every problem lies an opportunity. D．Being more grateful often makes us more joyful and more optimistic. E．Think about those people you know — who are most appreciative of you. F．Too often we look at problem solving with a very bored or exhausted view. G．Grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and report feeling healthier. （十四） （23-24高二上·广东湛江·期中）A gym membership can be nice. 66 All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine. Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. 67 Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). 68 This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. 69 You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance. Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 70 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly. A．After all, we work out to build our muscles. B．Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan. C．But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. D．For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. E．Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. F．Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. G．Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. （十五） （23-24高二上·江苏苏州·期中）What comes to mind when you think about chocolate? A candy bar at Halloween? Ice cream on a hot day? For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. 71 But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school. To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. 72 It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. 73 Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. 74 It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程). Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. 75 By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you. A．You have the power to change the story. B．The labels on chocolate do not tell his story. C．Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour. D．You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network. E．On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks. F．Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia. G．With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school. （十六） （23-24高二上·辽宁大连·期中）For outdoor enthusiasts, it is crucial to be prepared for any sort of natural disaster in the open air. 76 . It includes what kinds of disasters may strike, and what resources should be taken on your trip. 77 Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; mountainous areas are likely to avalanches (雪崩) in winter and landslides in summer. Therefore, always do some research ahead of time to help you find right survival strategies in different conditions. While you’re planning, the essential thing to consider is the things you should pack for your trip. Any disaster that may separate you from civilization for a period of time will require you to provide your own food, water, and shelter for at least a few days. 78 For disasters that may wet your equipment, flameless light sources are a must. What you bring with you should be suited to the disaster you might encounter. Once you complete your survival plan, it’s better to review it periodically. When a natural disaster strikes, you probably won’t have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice. 79 If a natural disaster strikes while you are in the wilderness, you should put your survival plan into effect immediately. 80 Then contact others for help. Do not wait around to see if the disaster is really that serious, do not panic, and do not easily abandon your plan. A．But this is not always the case. B．It’s also a good idea to bring light sources. C．That means having a disaster response plan. D．It’s also great to consult with the specialists in person. E．Consequently, revising it frequently is strongly recommended. F．Different kinds of disasters are likely to occur in different areas. G．Stay calm, act decisively, and begin working to keep yourself alive. （十七） （23-24高二上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）What Are the Advantages of Team Sports? The list of benefits from team sports is long, regardless of their talent or the team’s record. Here are just a few: 81 Obviously, fitness is a big benefit. Many studies now show that our eating habits and lifestyle habits are making us less healthy. And exercise can give us some relief from these conditions. At the same time, playing a team sport lays the foundation for lifelong fitness habits. Life skills Equally important are the non-athletic skills that sports build. “There is a lot you can learn in sports that you will use in the rest of your life,” explains John Duffy, a Chicago-area psychologist. “You learn to play on a team. 82 . And you learn to be gracious when you win and when you lose.” Academic (学术的) success Research shows that schools with strong athletic programs have higher test scores and lower drop-out rates. 83 . And they also have self-reported higher education aspirations (抱负), diligence in homework completion and lower absenteeism. Teamwork In team sports, teammates learn to respect each other and encourage everyone to do their best. 84 . Additional benefits for females 85 The Women’s Sports Foundation reports that girls who participate in team sports are more likely to have a positive outlook on their bodies. A．Fitness B．Achievability C．It’s also about showing respect for the teammates D．Meanwhile, female athletes have additional advantages E．You learn to handle challenges and deal with difficulties F．Everyone learns to work together because it is what’s best for the team G．Students who play team sports are more likely to graduate than those who don’t （十八） （23-24高二上·江苏苏州·期中）Do you get nervous thinking about geometry, equations or a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. 86 Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15. According to a University of Cambridge study, in ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when faced with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear. 87 They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject. Comfort comes from the fact that those with math anxiety are not necessarily to be bad at math. 88 They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement. 89 If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly. In addition, a little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. 90 A．Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. B．Students with math anxiety may be disadvantaged in intelligence. C．If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. D．Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. E．Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail. F．Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate. G．Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. （十九） （23-24高二上·山西朔州·期中）The advice of “eat the frog first thing in the morning” sounds extremely strange. However, this somewhat-commonly known expression is one way of describing an absolutely helpful productivity tip. “Eat the frog” actually means “do the day’s worst task as soon as you wake up”. 91 . Basically, what Twain is believed to have said is that if you have to eat a frog, you should do it straight away in the morning so the worst part of your day is immediately behind you. You don’t really have to eat the frog as soon as you wake up. 92 . You can just make a conscious (刻意的) effort to get your hardest responsibilities handled before moving on to lesser ones. When I have to have an uncomfortable phone call, I schedule it for the earliest possible time in the day.

You’d better listen for the sound of air coming in and out, and feel for air using the side of your face. If there are no signs of breathing, place two fingers under the chin (下巴) and gently guide the face pointing upwards to open up their airways. Perform 30 chest compressions (心肺复苏) and two rescue breaths as part of CPR. 99 . And then press the chest down about 2 inches at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths, done by opening the airways, closing the nose and fully covering the mouth hole. Make sure the person is warm as you wait for medical help. Remove some of your own clothing, such as your coat or jacket, and use it as a cover until medical help arrives. However, if the person has a heatstroke (中暑), do not cover him or keep him warm. 100 .

You may be surprised to learn that there are better ways to breathe than others. It’s easy to get in the habit of taking short, shallow breaths. I’s important to train yourself to breathe deeply since deep breaths are better at oxygenating your body and can actually help reduce stress. Take a moment to pay attention to your breathing. 102 , you’re likely to take shallow breaths. Try practicing deep breathing for several minutes every day. Over time, it will become easier and feel more natural. Schedule regular check-ins to stay focused on your breathing. Since you don’t usually realize that you’re breathing, it can be tricky to notice whether or not you’re doing it properly. Try to check-in at the same time every day, like each morning and lunchtime, so that it becomes part of your routine. 103 . For example, if you notice that you’re taking shallow breaths whenever you check on your breathing, you’ll know to work on taking deeper breaths from your diaphragm (隔膜). 104 . To make deep breathing easier, try practicing a couple of breathing exercises so you can use them the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed. For example, you can quickly relax when you’re feeling stressed by taking deep breaths through your nose and then sighing out loud on your exhales (呼出). If you ever feel like you’re on the edge of having a panic attack, take a deep breath in for 3 seconds, hold it for 3 seconds, and then slowly exhale through pursed lips. 105 . Deep breathing exercises help you take the time out of your day to focus on just your breaths. This can help you relax in the moment and improve your form when breathing throughout the day. A．When you take a deep breath B．Repeat the exercise until you calm down C．If only your chest is rising and falling when you breathe D．But most of the time you don’t even realize you’re doing it E．So you can use them the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed F．Deep, purposeful breaths calm you down in stressful or scary situations G．Being more mindful of your breathing can help you make adjustments if necessary （二十二） （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期中）Einstein’s Opinions on Creative Thinking “The greatest scientists are artists as well,” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist. For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. 106 “All great achievements of science must start from intuitive (直觉的) knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.” 107 Surprisingly, it wasn’t the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. 108 That’s why he said that great scientists were also artists. 109 “If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.” Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space, which both combine spatial (空间的) and structural aspects. “The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition,” said Einstein. “My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. 110 ” A．But how did art differ from science for Einstein? B．Instead, it came from intrusion (直觉) and inspiration. C．My new discovery is the result of musical insight. D．There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then. E．Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically. F．Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music. G．For Einstein, it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achievements. （二十三） （23-24高二上·安徽合肥·期中）It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have roommates to share a home with.

Here are some lifesaving habits you are supposed to remember every time you fly. Your carry-on bag The safest thing to do with your carry-on is leave it on the plane. Flight crews ask you to keep your luggage clear of the aisles (通道) for a reason. 121 With as few as 90 seconds to evacuate (撤离) a burning place, the precious time spent reaching for luggage could be a life and death decision for someone. Your seat 122 The safest place to sit on a plane is behind the wings. A Popular Mechanics study of 20 commercial jet crashes with both fatalities (死亡) and survivors found that passengers seated in the rear cabin (behind the wings) had a 69 percent chance of survival, compared with just 49 percent for those in first class. During a crash The first thing you should do during a crash is put on the oxygen mask the minute it drops. During a loss of cabin pressure, the fall in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as 20 seconds. 123 You can’t help if you can’t breathe. Listen to your flight attendants. Most importantly, through any emergency, be nice to the flight attendant. What to wear 124 The US National Transportation Safety Board says that 68 percent of plane crash fatalities occur in post-crash fires, not in the initial impact. Fortunately, here’s what you can plan for days in advance while you pack your suitcase: on the day you’re flying, avoid wearing synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. Instead, choose natural materials like cotton or wool. It’s also a good idea to wear long pants (like jeans) and a long-sleeved shirt for extra protection from flames and sharp objects. 125 Sippers might seem like a good idea for braving airport security, but in the chaos of a crash or evacuation, they’ll only slow you down. A．You can narrowly escape from an air crash. B．Always secure your oxygen mask before helping others. C．Good mentality (心态) of a pilot is a necessity for safe flight. D．Besides, the best shoes to wear on a plane never leave your feet. E．The safest way to dress on a plane is avoid anything easy to catch fire. F．In the event of an evacuation, you don’t want it blocking an escape route.

In a sense, it really matters. Energy restoration The word “breakfast” comes from “breaking the fast” — the idea of ending the period in which we didn’t eat during the night. The regeneration process that takes place while we sleep consumes some of our natural food reserves to heal our bodies. 2 So, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense. Weight management There are also many often-quoted studies which seem to link a state of obesity with skipping breakfast. 3 In a US study, 50,000 people were monitored over seven years, and those who ate a healthy breakfast were found to have a lower BMI, which seems to suggest that breakfast may indeed help people maintain a healthy weight. Better brain function 4 Breakfast is also associated with improved brain function, including concentration and language. A review of 54 studies found that eating breakfast can improve memory, though the effects on other brain functions were inconclusive. However, one of the researchers says there is reasonable evidence that breakfast does improve concentration. What’s most important is what we eat for breakfast. High-protein breakfasts have been found particularly effective in reducing food cravings and consumption later in the day. However, studies found that there is no agreement on what type of breakfast is healthier. 5 A．Breakfast helps us refill the exhausted stores. B．Weight-loss is likely to cause them health problems. C．Breakfast has been found to affect more than just weight. D．Breakfast types don’t matter as much as simply eating something. E．Thus, it is suggested that a healthy breakfast can regulate and lose weight. F．Many people are recommended to manage their weight by skipping meals. G．It seems that this feast, for many of us, is necessary for our day to start well. 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．E 4．C 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了早餐的作用。 1．根据上文“Have you ever heard someone say, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, or give you advice about why it’s vital to start the day with a healthy breakfast?”（你是否听过有人说，“早餐是一天中最重要的一餐”，或者给你建议为什么以健康的早餐开始新的一天是至关重要的？）提出有人说早餐的重要性。结合选项G项It seems that this feast, for many of us, is necessary for our day to start well.（对于我们中的许多人来说，这场盛宴似乎是我们一天良好开始的必要条件。）承接上文内容，继续强调早餐的作用，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 2．根据上文“The regeneration process that takes place while we sleep consumes some of our natural food reserves to heal our bodies.”（在我们睡觉时进行的再生过程会消耗一些我们的天然食物储备来治愈我们的身体。）提出晚上睡觉会消耗身体中的食物储备。结合选项A项Breakfast helps us refill the exhausted stores.（早餐帮助我们补充耗尽的储备。）承接上文，说明早餐可以补充消耗的储备，照应主题“Energy restoration”。故选A项。 3．根据上文“There are also many often-quoted studies which seem to link a state of obesity with skipping breakfast.”（还有许多经常被引用的研究似乎将肥胖状态与不吃早餐联系起来。）提出关于肥胖与早餐的研究。结合选项E项Thus, it is suggested that a healthy breakfast can regulate and lose weight.（因此，建议健康的早餐可以调节和减肥。）给出研究的结论：健康的早餐可以调节体重和减肥，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 4．第三段中介绍了健康的早餐可以调节体重和减肥，设空句下文“Breakfast is also associated with improved brain function, including concentration and language.”（早餐还能改善大脑功能，包括注意力和语言能力。）提出新的功能：改善大脑功能。结合选项C项Breakfast has been found to affect more than just weight.（研究发现，早餐影响的不仅仅是体重。）承上启下，句中“more than just weight”照应第三段内容。故选C项。 5．根据上文“However, studies found that there is no agreement on what type of breakfast is healthier.”（然而，研究发现，对于哪种类型的早餐更健康，人们并没有一致的看法。）提出对于早餐类型没有确定的说法，结合选项D项Breakfast types don’t matter as much as simply eating something.（早餐的种类并不重要，重要的是吃点东西。）承接上文，说明早餐类型并不重要，但是一定要吃早餐，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 （二） （23-24高二上·河南信阳·期中）Have you considered how to choose your major in university, which is of great significance for your future career?

Students can get out of the classroom and into the real world, even if just for a few hours. 11 Whether it is learning how to feed chickens on the farm or understanding how gravity works at the science museum, these hands-on learning experiences bring them benefits. Students do better in school. Students who go on field trips generally have better grades. 12 In fact, in a study conducted by some researchers, 89% of adults said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career. It's because the trips made them more curious and interested in and out of school. 13 When exploring a new place, students have the opportunity to listen to and talk to new people. They can learn how to effectively communicate with strangers, get along with them and work with them. For example, they may acquire the skill of using body language to interact with strangers. Students learn to be more independent. A field trip includes many things. Although adults are in charge, it’s also up to students to figure out what exhibits they want to learn about, how they can finish certain tasks, etc. During field trips, students can have many such situations to learn to be independent. In the process, they sometimes may feel unpleasant and stressed. 14 Students develop a stronger connection to a neighborhood. By getting out of the classroom and, into the streets, students can become more familiar with a neighborhood. 15 Moreover, they have the chance to communicate with local people, which also improves their connection to the neighborhood. A．Students master more social skills. B．So students can develop lifelong friendships. C．And they have higher graduation rates from school. D．These trips, wherever they are, can influence students.

Students can get out of the classroom and into the real world, even if just for a few hours.(学校的一个好处就是实地考察。学生可以走出教室，进入现实世界，即使只有几个小时)”以及后文“Whether it’s learning how to feed chickens on the farm or understanding how gravity works at the science museum, these hands-on learning experiences bring children benefits. (无论是学习如何在农场喂鸡，还是在科学博物馆了解重力是如何工作的，这些实践学习的经历给孩子们带来了好处)”可知，前文提到了实地考察是有益的，后文提到了不同的实地考察场地，故D选项“这些旅行，无论在哪里，都会影响孩子”符合语境，故选D。 12．根据上文“Students do better in school. Students who go on field trips generally have better grades. (学生在学校表现更好。参加实地考察的学生通常成绩较好)”以及后文“In fact, in a study conducted by some researchers, 89% of adults said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career. It’s because the trips made them more curious and interested in and out of school.(事实上，在一些研究人员进行的一项研究中，89%的成年人说教育实践对他们的教育和职业有积极的、持久的影响。这是因为这些实践让他们对学校内外都更加好奇和感兴趣)”可知，上下文都提到了参加实地考察的学生通常成绩较好，故本句继续说明参加实地考察的影响：他们有更高的毕业率。故C选项“他们有更高的毕业率”符合语境，故选C。 13．根据后文“When exploring a new place, students have the opportunity to listen and talk to new people.

A field trip includes many things. Although adults are in charge, it’s also up to students to figure out what exhibits they want to learn about, how they can finish certain task, etc. During field trips, students can have many such situations to learn to be independent. During the process, they sometimes may feel unpleasant and stressed.(学生学会更加独立。实地考察包括很多东西。虽然是由成年人负责，但学生们也可以自己决定想要了解哪些展品，如何完成某些任务等。在实地考察中，学生可以有很多这样的情况来学习独立。在这个过程中，他们有时会感到不愉快和压力)”可知，本段讲述学生通过实地考察学会了更加独立，但是有时会感到不愉快和压力，E选项“但是他们会发现自己单独处理问题的能力提高了”符合本段主题，学会了独立，且与上文构成转折，指出尽管有压力，但是学生能力提高的表现，故选E。 15．根据上文“Students develop a stronger connection to the neighborhood.

My writing got better. Writing did make me become a better writer. 16 It’s almost impossible to keep doing something over and over again without getting better at it, so when I say writing has improved my writing skills, it would be foolish to disagree. I feel much more confident with words. Writing helped me build a good relationship with the English language. Before, I had to check and recheck every word I wanted to use in an article to be sure I was using it correctly. 17 And I’m proud to say that I can use words effectively without having to run to a dictionary every second. My imagination and speed grew. The more I wrote, the more my imagination grew so that everything around me started becoming an inspiration for an article. 18 I also went from someone who struggled to come up with a 450-word essay, to someone who could put together a 1,000-word essay in less than 30 minutes. 19 Just the act of putting down some words and creating a work of pure imagination gives me inner joy and peace. Whenever I feel down, I write. Finally ... Writing is a skill that anyone could acquire if they put hard work into it. So next time you’re lonely or just bubbling with anxiety, try writing. 20 Just pour out your heart on your paper or screen. A．My mental health has improved. B．Writing helps me recover memories. C．Now, that weight is off my shoulders. D．We all know the saying “Practice makes perfect.” E．I’ll never stop developing this beloved craft. F．Don’t worry about being perfect because no one is.

Whenever I feel down, I write.”（仅仅是放下一些文字，创作一个纯粹想象的作品，就能给我内心的快乐和平静。每当我感到沮丧时，我就会写作。）主要谈了写作有助于抒发情绪，故A项“我的心理健康得到了改善”符合语境。故选A项。 20．根据上文“Writing is a skill that anyone could acquire if they put hard work into it. So next time you’re lonely or just bubbling with anxiety, try writing.”（ 写作是一种任何人只要努力学习就能掌握的技能。所以，下次当你感到孤独或焦虑时，试着写作吧。）及下文“Just pour out your heart on your paper or screen.”（只要在纸上或屏幕上倾诉你的内心。）设空处前后两句建议人们投入写作，故F项“不要担心自己是否完美，因为没有人是完美的”表明任何人都可以写作，鼓励大家投入写作，符合语境。故选F项。 （五） （23-24高二上·山东青岛·期中）Whether you run a race or bounce a basketball, you do it because it’s fun. Some scientists claim that play is a natural instinct, just like sleep. 21 Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Both team and individual sports have advantages and disadvantages. In a team sport such as soccer, you’re part of a group, struggling to be a winning team. 22 In an individual sport such as tennis, you’re usually concerned only about your own performance. That can make these sports more challenging. There’s little doubt about the value of sports. We learn how to negotiate plans, settle disagreements, and monitor our attitude. Since organized sports are a hands-on, minds-on learning process, they stimulate our imagination, curiosity, and creativity. 23 For example, we use language during play to solve problems, and we use math skills to recognize averages and odds of each sports play. In a perfect world, everyone would have fun playing sports. 24 Sports can cause broken bones, scrapes and bruises. They can also hurt us psychologically. When young children play self-initiated games such as hide-and-seek, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Playing sports doesn’t mean you have to play on a school team. Few people have what it takes to be a professional athlete. But your school basketball coach or gymnastics teacher has found a way to make play their work. In doing so, they’ve found a profession best suited to their abilities. 25 There’s no better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. A．But that’s not always the case. B．Regardless of your sport, play to have fun. C．Sports may have begun as a form of survival. D．The skills we learn can be applied to school and work. E．This might explain why sports are likely to be as old as humanity. F．There are rules to obey, skills to learn, and strategies to carry out. G．You must learn to get along with your teammates and share responsibility. 【答案】21．E 22．G 23．D 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动的起源、运动的好处以及运动的风险。 21．根据上文“Some scientists claim that play is a natural instinct, just like sleep. (一些科学家声称，玩耍是一种本能，就像睡觉一样。)”可知，体育运动和睡觉在人类起初就存在，选择项E“This might explain why sports are likely to be as old as humanity. (这也许可以解释为什么体育运动可能和人类一样古老。)”承接自然，且 E 项中sports与上文play相呼应，故选 E。 22．根据上文“In a team sport such as soccer, you’re part of a group, struggling to be a winning team.

(没有比运动场更好的地方来玩耍和了解世界了。)”可知，在运动场不管做什么运动，开心就好，选择项B“Regardless of your sport, play to have fun. (不管你从事什么运动，玩得开心就好。)”承接自然，且 B 项中play与下文play相呼应，故选 B。 （六） （23-24高二上·福建漳州·期中）Getting regular exercise in this day and age can be tough.

Whatever the drive behind it, it is impossible for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week. But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, many people make use of a PT—that’s a personal trainer. This might be because they’re wet behind the ears or maybe they just don’t want to design their own workout plan. A PT will create a proper plan for you based on your aims. 46 And, better still, they will teach you how to move in a way that won’t weaken you. 47 Each hourly session can be expensive because you have to pay both the PT and membership of the gym, too. If you are short of cash then regular sessions might be out of your budget. So what’s left? 48 It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. But before you do, here are some basic pointers. First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down, bulk up(健壮), or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are in pursuit of that goal. Next, do your research. These days, social media is chock-full of fitness videos and advice. Watch as many of these as possible and be a little critical of them. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. 49 It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t exercise too much—never work in pain—a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. 50 If nothing else, focus on calisthenics(健美操)—these are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere, even at home. A．Pain means you are damaging yourself. B．They will charge you for their train work. C．They will tailor it to your current abilities. D．However, the trade-off with a PT is the price. E．Be patient with yourself and set realistic goals. F．Make sure that the place where you exercise is good. G．Well, if you have the courage for it, you can make your own plan. 【答案】46．C 47．D 48．G 49．E 50．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了在现代，人们制定健身计划的普遍现象，介绍了找个私人教练设计健身计划和自己设计健身计划的优缺点，并给出了制定健身计划的三个基本指导方针。 46．根据上文“A PT will create a proper plan for you based on your aims.(私人教练会根据你的目标为你制定一个合适的计划)”可知，上文提到了私人教练会根据你的目标制定计划，C选项“他们会根据你目前的能力量身定做”符合语境，承接上文对此进一步解释说明。故选C。 47．根据后文“Each hourly session can be expensive because you have to pay both the PT and membership of the gym, too.

People high in hope are optimistic about their future and believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles. 51 Here are tips on how to cultivate hope. Set and achieve goals. Without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Hopeful people usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. 52 Getting three emails out in the next 15minutes or preparing lunch in the next 20 minutes are simple examples. Stick with positive people. 53 This doesn’t mean being intolerant of another person’s difficulties, negativity, or struggles, but it does mean that hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright and proactive attitude. They maintain a healthy balance but don’t get overwhelmed by the negativity around them. 54 While believing in oneself is important, highly hopeful people are able to forgive themselves as well. This is a unique combination because this type of confidence allows a person to be imperfect. In addition, they are willing to take reasonable risks and accept failures to support their growth and move forward. Keep a positive outlook. No matter what life throws at them, they endeavor to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. 55 A．Believe in the power of risks. B．Be self-reflective and confident. C．This is key to the success of many high-hope people. D．One way this gets done is through achievable micro-goals. E．Being around positive people contributes to keeping optimistic. F．Therefore, they’re constantly trying to improve themselves and their skill sets. G．Instead, they work out solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way. 【答案】51．C 52．D 53．E 54．B 55．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些培养希望的建议。 51．根据上文“Unique among all the positive emotions, hope requires some degree of conflict, difficulty, negativity, or uncertainty to be ignited.

When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily.(此外，高期望的人也是创造性的问题解决者。当面对挑战时，他们不会轻易放弃)”可知，本句主要说明高期望的人的如何面对挑战的。故G选项“相反，他们想出解决办法，帮助他们克服前进道路上的障碍”符合语境，故选G。 （十二） （23-24高二上·河南开封·期中）Four Ways to Beat the Monday Blues Are you feeling down because the weekend is almost over? Take it easy, and you can try the following ways to help you overcome the Monday Blues. Make a list for your next week. Instead of focusing on difficult tasks that lay ahead of you, think about all the good to come. 56 A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend. If it’s hard to come up with three things to look forward to, get planning ASAP! We’re not talking about anything difficult, just simple things that uplift you like meeting a friend for coffee. 57 Sleep has a tremendous effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor or inadequate sleep can cause stress, while healthy sleep can enhance well-being.” So, if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer. 58 It’s worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning. Choose your favorite clothes. 59 In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low.

After a weekend of fun and taking it easy, it might be best to keep Monday’s schedule a little lighter than other days. This doesn’t mean sitting around and drowning in your blues. It means that instead of facing the most complicated stuff on a Monday, put some time into the easier tasks. 60 A．Form a routine of daily life. B．Go to bed early on Sunday night. C．Don’t underestimate the power of a suit. D．Reduce Monday Blues by allowing yourself to do Monday with ease. E．Putting less pressure on yourself is a good way to beat the Monday Blues.

If it’s hard to come up with three things to look forward to, get planning ASAP! We’re not talking about anything difficult, just simple things that uplift you like meeting a friend for coffee.(一个好的开始是在每个类别中想一件让你兴奋的事情：工作时，下班后和周末。如果很难想出三件值得期待的事情，那就尽快计划吧!我们不是在谈论任何困难的事情，只是一些简单的事情，比如和朋友一起喝咖啡)”可知，上文提到想想所有美好的事情，后文则提到想一件让你兴奋的事情。由此可知，本句主要说明列出期待的事情，故G选项“列一张清单，写下你目前期待的事情”符合语境，故选G。 57．根据本段内容“Sleep has a tremendous effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor or inadequate sleep can cause stress, while healthy sleep can enhance well-being.” So, if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer.(睡眠对我们的情绪有很大的影响。根据哈佛医学院的说法，“睡眠不好或不足会导致压力，而健康的睡眠可以增强幸福感。”所以，如果你发现自己比平时脾气更暴躁，睡觉可能是答案)”可知，本段主要是针对睡觉提出建议。由此可知，B选项“星期天晚上早点睡觉”符合语境，故选B。 58．根据上文“So, if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer.(所以，如果你发现自己比平时脾气更暴躁，睡觉可能是答案)”以及后文“It’s worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning.(为了避免周一早上精力不足，这一点在周日是值得考虑的)”可知，本句主要是针对避免周一精力不足而提出的建议，且与睡眠有关。由此可知，F选项“打个盹来补充能量，或者今晚早点上床睡觉来弥补失去的睡眠”符合语境，故选F。 59．根据后文“In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low.

Of course you would! 61 Besides, gratitude requires little time and no money. But why can gratitude improve our productivity and results? 62 We learn the importance of saying “thank you” as little children. This childhood lesson is extremely of great use. 63 How do you feel about them? Does their appreciation positively impact your relation with them? Of course it does! So be grateful for people, their contributions and their actions and make sure you let them know how you feel. Gratitude improves problem solving skills. 64 However, when we think about what we are grateful for, we open our minds up to new possibilities and connections. We also enter a problem solving situation with a perspective of opportunity rather than challenge or issue. Gratitude helps us learn. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. 65 Being grateful for our situation, even if we don’t like everything about it, allows us to be thankful for opportunity to learn something new. So the more aware and grateful we are of what we have and our capabilities, the more capable and elective we become in living. A．Gratitude improves attitudes. B．Gratitude improves relationships. C．Behind every problem lies an opportunity. D．Being more grateful often makes us more joyful and more optimistic. E．Think about those people you know — who are most appreciative of you. F．Too often we look at problem solving with a very bored or exhausted view.

Of course you would!(如果我能给你一种神奇的药物，让你更快乐、更乐观、更有效率，而且不需要花费任何费用，也不需要付出任何努力，你会感兴趣吗？你当然会的！)”和后文“Besides, gratitude requires little time and no money.(此外，感恩只需要很少的时间和金钱)”可知，空处应讲述感恩有助于让人更快乐、更乐观，D项“更多的感恩往往会让我们更加快乐和乐观。”符合题意，选项中的“more joyful and more optimistic”对应前面的“happier, more optimistic”，“grateful”对应后面的“gratitude”。故选D。 62．空处为本段的主旨句，根据后文“Does their appreciation positively impact your relation with them? Of course it does!(他们的感激对你和他们的关系有积极的影响吗？当然有！)”可知，本段讲述了感恩对关系的有益影响，所以B项“感恩可以改善人际关系”符合题意。故选B。 63．前文“We learn the importance of saying ‘thank you’ as little children. This childhood lesson is extremely of great use.(我们从小就知道说‘谢谢’的重要性。这个童年的教训非常有用)”讲述了我们从小接受的感恩教育是有用的，后文“How do you feel about them? Does their appreciation positively impact your relation with them?(你觉得他们怎么样？他们的感激对你和他们的关系有积极的影响吗？)”提到了那些感激你的人和你之间的关系，them为空处提到的内容，指代的是那些感激你的人，所以E项“想想你认识的那些最感激你的人”符合题意。故选E。 64．本段首句“Gratitude improves problem solving skills.(感恩可以提高解决问题的能力)”表明本段描述感恩可以提高解决问题的能力，后文“However, when we think about what we are grateful for, we open our minds up to new possibilities and connections.(然而，当我们想到我们感激的东西时，我们就打开了新的可能性和联系)”与空处是转折关系，表明感恩有助于创造新的可能性和联系，所以空处应讲述解决问题时常遇到的问题，F项“我们常常以一种非常无聊或疲惫的视角来看待解决问题。”符合题意。故选F。 65．本段首句“Gratitude helps us learn.(感恩帮助我们学习)”表明本段描述感恩帮助学习，前文“Every dark cloud has a silver lining.

But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine. Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. 67 Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). 68 This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. 69 You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance. Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 70 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly. A．After all, we work out to build our muscles. B．Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan. C．But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. D．For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. E．Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. F．Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. G．Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. 【答案】66．C 67．D 68．G 69．E 70．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何制定一个居家健身的计划。 66．前文“A gym membership can be nice. (健身会员卡是不错的选择)”指出有健身会员卡是不错的，后文“All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. (你所需要的只是在家里给自己一点时间和空间)”说明在家锻炼也很好，因此C项“But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. (但你不一定非要有一个才能保持好身材)”符合语境，说明健身会员卡并非保持好身材的必需品，和前文构成转折，引出后文的观点，其中的one指代前文的A gym membership。故选C。 67．前文“Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. (做一个循序渐进的有氧运动，使用你想锻炼的肌肉)”建议循序渐进地开展有氧运动，因此D项“For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. (例如，如果你要跑地更远，就慢慢地跑)”符合语境，举出有氧运动中跑步的例子，承接前文的建议。故选D。 68．前文“Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). (力量训练，也称为阻力训练，使你更强壮，培养耐力)”介绍力量训练的概念和作用，后文“This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. (这有助于你在每次锻炼时都能进行更难的锻炼)”指出一个做法的好处，因此G项“Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. (试着做一些锻炼身体各个部位的运动，让你感觉更强壮)”符合语境，建议如何做力量训练，承接前文的介绍，引出后文的好处，后文的This指代选项内容。故选G。 69．空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. (当你完成最后一组运动时，你可能急于停止锻炼，但是花几分钟做一些低强度的运动，降低你的心率)”可知，本段建议在最后做低强度的运动，因此E项“Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. (每次锻炼后花5到10分钟做放松练习)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的cooling down和后文的low-intensity exercises呼应。故选E。 70．前文“It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. (说你想健身是一回事，但这对每个人来说都意味着不同的东西)”指出健身实际上因人而异，后文“It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. (它应该是具体的、现实的、有意义的)”说明一个事物的标准，因此F项“Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. (弄清楚你计划实现什么，并把它作为你的目标)”符合语境，建议设定自己的目标，承接前文，引出后文的标准，后文的It指代其中的your goal。故选F。 （十五） （23-24高二上·江苏苏州·期中）What comes to mind when you think about chocolate? A candy bar at Halloween? Ice cream on a hot day? For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. 71 But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school. To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. 72 It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. 73 Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. 74 It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程). Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. 75 By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you. A．You have the power to change the story. B．The labels on chocolate do not tell his story. C．Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour. D．You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network. E．On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks. F．Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia. G．With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school. 【答案】71．B 72．C 73．G 74．D 75．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文中主要讲述了很多儿童从事艰巨的制作巧克力的工作而无法上学，为了改变这种现象，一些农场实行了公平交易政策。作为消费者你也能帮助这些孩子们。 71．上文“For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. (对于来自西非国家加纳的12岁男孩易卜拉欣来说，巧克力并不是甜食，而是甜点。这是关于艰苦的工作。)”指出制作巧克力是12岁男孩Ibrahim的艰辛工作，下文“But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. (但如果它们是这样，我们就会了解到易卜拉欣每天都在种植和收获可可豆，然后用可可豆制成巧克力)”是一种假设，由此可知，空处应用与下文内容相反，应该介绍我们无法了解到Ibrahim的情况，B项“巧克力上的标签并没有讲述他的故事。”符合，下文的they代指The labels on chocolate，故选B。 72．上文“To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. (为了改变这样的有害做法，一些农场采用了一种称为Fairtrade的方法。)”指出为了严禁雇佣儿童，一些农场使用了叫做Fairtrade的方法，空处承接上文，对此方法进行介绍，C项“Fairtrade是一种禁止童工的经营方式。”符合，故选C。 73．上文“Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers.(由于农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格。)”指出农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格，空处承接上文，指出这么做的好处，G项“有了更多的收入，农民就可以支付成年工人的工资并可以送孩子上学。”符合，承接上文，故选G。 74．上文“Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products.(像你这样的消费者也可以发挥作用。如果可能的话，你可以购买公平贸易巧克力，向糖果公司施加压力，要求其改变劳工惯例，或者要求当地商店销售公平贸易产品。)”可知，许多儿童从事艰巨劳动而不能上学，对此消费者可以发挥一些作用来帮助他们，上文具体提出了消费者可以做的事，空处也应是具体措施，D项“你还可以通过公平贸易学校网络采取行动。”符合，故选D。 75．上文“Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim-children who want a happy future just like you do. (巧克力有一个隐藏的故事，影响着像易卜拉欣这样的孩子——他们和你一样想要幸福的未来。)”可知，从事艰巨劳动而不能上学的儿童和你一样也想要幸福的未来，下文“By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.(通过买公平贸易产品或只是传播这个信息，你可以让巧克力对所有孩子来说都像对你一样甜。)”指出你可以帮助这些孩子——购买公平贸易产品或只是传播公平交易这个信息，由此可知，空处应该是引起下文，指出你能帮助他们，为文中讲述的像Ibrahim这样的孩子从事艰巨劳动而无法上学这样的故事做出一些改变，A项“你有能力改变这个故事。”符合，故选A。 （十六） （23-24高二上·辽宁大连·期中）For outdoor enthusiasts, it is crucial to be prepared for any sort of natural disaster in the open air. 76 . It includes what kinds of disasters may strike, and what resources should be taken on your trip. 77 Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; mountainous areas are likely to avalanches (雪崩) in winter and landslides in summer. Therefore, always do some research ahead of time to help you find right survival strategies in different conditions. While you’re planning, the essential thing to consider is the things you should pack for your trip. Any disaster that may separate you from civilization for a period of time will require you to provide your own food, water, and shelter for at least a few days. 78 For disasters that may wet your equipment, flameless light sources are a must. What you bring with you should be suited to the disaster you might encounter. Once you complete your survival plan, it’s better to review it periodically. When a natural disaster strikes, you probably won’t have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice. 79 If a natural disaster strikes while you are in the wilderness, you should put your survival plan into effect immediately. 80 Then contact others for help. Do not wait around to see if the disaster is really that serious, do not panic, and do not easily abandon your plan. A．But this is not always the case. B．It’s also a good idea to bring light sources. C．That means having a disaster response plan. D．It’s also great to consult with the specialists in person. E．Consequently, revising it frequently is strongly recommended.

If yes, you are far from alone. 86 Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15. According to a University of Cambridge study, in ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when faced with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear. 87 They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject. Comfort comes from the fact that those with math anxiety are not necessarily to be bad at math. 88 They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement. 89 If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly. In addition, a little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. 90 A．Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. B．Students with math anxiety may be disadvantaged in intelligence. C．If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. D．Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. E．Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail. F．Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate. G．Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. 【答案】86．D 87．G 88．C 89．A 90．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了数学焦虑是世界各地学生普遍存在的一种心理状况，具体描述了其心理表现、身体症状及影响，同时指出数学焦虑和在数学上的实际表现并没有必然联系，提高数学表现和克服数学焦虑都是有方法可循的。 86．前文“Do you get nervous thinking about geometry, equations or a coming math test?

However, this somewhat-commonly known expression is one way of describing an absolutely helpful productivity tip. “Eat the frog” actually means “do the day’s worst task as soon as you wake up”. 91 . Basically, what Twain is believed to have said is that if you have to eat a frog, you should do it straight away in the morning so the worst part of your day is immediately behind you. You don’t really have to eat the frog as soon as you wake up. 92 . You can just make a conscious (刻意的) effort to get your hardest responsibilities handled before moving on to lesser ones. When I have to have an uncomfortable phone call, I schedule it for the earliest possible time in the day. When I have a project due, I try to wake up early to take care of it instead of staying up late. I can prove the fact that I feel great throughout the day knowing that the worst thing I had to do is already done. 93 . If you struggle with procrastination (拖延症) — whether cleaning your house or doing work for school or your job or you find that you get all the little stuff done but don’t make sufficient progress on the big stuff, try following the advice. 94 . Study for the test in your most difficult class before studying for your easier ones. 95 . Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top of your list, and then enjoy the satisfaction of crossing them off early. At some point, moving on to the smaller activities — even if they’re not important — will feel like a reward. A．You get the idea B．This quote comes from Mark Twain C．Schedule the most annoying tasks for the morning D．If you’d like to be more productive, eating the frog is for you E．But you should try to get frogs out of the way as soon as possible F．This advice also helps to make a to-do list every night for the next day and rank it G．This always makes me feel like any other tasks I need to handle are a piece of cake 【答案】91．B 92．E 93．G 94．C 95．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要通过一句谚语来说明面对众多任务时，要先做挑战性最大，难度最高的事，然后接下来的一整天都会无比愉悦和轻松。 91．上文““Eat the frog” actually means “do the day’s worst task as soon as you wake up”. ”（“吃掉青蛙”实际上的意思是“一醒来就做一天中最糟糕的任务”。）解释了该谚语的含义，下文“Basically, what Twain is believed to have said is that if you have to eat a frog, you should do it straight away in the morning so the worst part of your day is immediately behind you.”（基本上，人们相信吐温所说的是，如果你必须吃一只青蛙，你应该在早上马上吃，这样你一天中最糟糕的部分就会马上过去。）说明了马克·吐温对该谚语的理解，B项“This quote comes from Mark Twain”（这句话出自马克·吐温）衔接上文说明谚语的出处，并衔接下文，说明他对该谚语的具体理解。故选B项。 92．上文“You don’t really have to eat the frog as soon as you wake up.”（你不必一醒来就把青蛙吃掉。）说明棘手的事情也没有迫切到一醒来就要立刻做的程度，E项“But you should try to get frogs out of the way as soon as possible”（但是你应该尽快把青蛙弄走。）说明虽然不必立刻做，但也要尽快处理棘手的事情，与上文构成转折，衔接恰当。故选E项。 93．上文“I can prove the fact that I feel great throughout the day knowing that the worst thing I had to do is already done.”（我可以证明这样一个事实：当我知道我必须做的最糟糕的事情已经完成时，我一整天都感觉很棒。）可知，先做最棘手的事，会让我一整天都会无比愉悦和轻松。G项“This always makes me feel like any other tasks I need to handle are a piece of cake”（这也会让我觉得我需要处理的其他事情都是小菜一碟。）衔接上文，说明先做棘手任务的另一个好处，衔接恰当。故选G项。 94．上文“If you struggle with procrastination — whether cleaning your house or doing work for school or your job or you find that you get all the little stuff done but don’t make sufficient progress on the big stuff, try following the advice.”（如果你有拖延症，无论是打扫房子，还是为学校或工作做功课，或者你发现你完成了所有的小事情，但在大事情上没有取得足够的进展，试着听从这个建议。）说明无论做什么事，都可以尝试这个建议，C项“Schedule the most annoying tasks for the morning”（把最烦人的任务安排在早上）衔接上文，说明该建议的具体内容，衔接恰当，引出下文的例子。故选C项。 95．下文“Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top of your list, and then enjoy the satisfaction of crossing them off early.”（把最重要或最麻烦的任务放在清单的顶部，然后享受提前划掉它们的满足感。）说明先完成最麻烦的任务，会带来轻松的一天。F项“This advice also helps to make a to-do list every night for the next day and rank it”（该建议还有助于每天晚上为第二天做一个待办事项清单，并对其进行排序。）衔接后文，选项中“to-do list”照应后文“your list”，“rank it”照应“Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top”衔接恰当。故选F项。 （二十） （23-24高二上·湖南常德·期中）How to do basic First Aid Basic first aid refers to a temporary form of help given to someone who has been injured or has got sick due to choking, a heart attack, drugs or other medical emergencies. 96 .

You may be surprised to learn that there are better ways to breathe than others. It’s easy to get in the habit of taking short, shallow breaths. I’s important to train yourself to breathe deeply since deep breaths are better at oxygenating your body and can actually help reduce stress. Take a moment to pay attention to your breathing. 102 , you’re likely to take shallow breaths. Try practicing deep breathing for several minutes every day. Over time, it will become easier and feel more natural. Schedule regular check-ins to stay focused on your breathing. Since you don’t usually realize that you’re breathing, it can be tricky to notice whether or not you’re doing it properly. Try to check-in at the same time every day, like each morning and lunchtime, so that it becomes part of your routine. 103 . For example, if you notice that you’re taking shallow breaths whenever you check on your breathing, you’ll know to work on taking deeper breaths from your diaphragm (隔膜). 104 . To make deep breathing easier, try practicing a couple of breathing exercises so you can use them the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed. For example, you can quickly relax when you’re feeling stressed by taking deep breaths through your nose and then sighing out loud on your exhales (呼出). If you ever feel like you’re on the edge of having a panic attack, take a deep breath in for 3 seconds, hold it for 3 seconds, and then slowly exhale through pursed lips. 105 . Deep breathing exercises help you take the time out of your day to focus on just your breaths. This can help you relax in the moment and improve your form when breathing throughout the day. A．When you take a deep breath B．Repeat the exercise until you calm down C．If only your chest is rising and falling when you breathe D．But most of the time you don’t even realize you’re doing it E．So you can use them the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed F．Deep, purposeful breaths calm you down in stressful or scary situations G．Being more mindful of your breathing can help you make adjustments if necessary 【答案】101．D 102．C 103．G 104．F 105．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了呼吸的作用以及一些呼吸的方法。 101．根据上文“Breathing is a basic human function.(呼吸是人体的基本功能)”以及后文“You may be surprised to learn that there are better ways to breathe than others.(你可能会惊讶地发现，有比其他呼吸方式更好的方法)”可知，上文提到了呼吸是人体基本功能，可知本句应当是说明人体对这一基本功能的反应：大多数时候你甚至没有意识到你在做这件事。故D选项“但大多数时候你甚至没有意识到你在做这件事”符合语境，故选D。 102．根据后文“you’re likely to take shallow breaths(你很可能会做浅呼吸)”可知，本句是在具体说明浅呼吸的表现：只是胸部在起伏。故C选项“如果你呼吸的时候只是胸部在起伏”符合语境，故选C。 103．根据后文“For example, if you notice that you’re taking shallow breaths whenever you check on your breathing, you’ll know to work on taking deeper breaths from your diaphragm (隔膜).(例如，如果你注意到每次检查呼吸时你的呼吸都很浅，你就会知道要通过隔膜进行更深的呼吸)”可知，本段主要说明了有意识地注意自己是不是在浅呼吸，就可以通过隔膜进行深呼吸调整。故G选项“注意你的呼吸可以帮助你在必要时做出调整”符合语境，故选G。 104．根据后文“To make deep breathing easier, try practicing a couple of breathing exercises so you can use them the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed.(为了让深呼吸变得更容易，试着练习一些呼吸练习，这样你就可以在下次感到不堪重负的时候使用它们)”可知，本段的主旨是深呼吸可以缓解紧张情绪。故F选项“在紧张或恐惧的情况下，有目的的深呼吸能让你平静下来”符合语境，故选F。 105．根据上文“For example, you can quickly relax when you’re feeling stressed by taking deep breaths through your nose and then sighing out loud on your exhales (呼出). If you ever feel like you’re on the edge of having a panic attack, take a deep breath in for 3 seconds, hold it for 3 seconds, and then slowly exhale through pursed lips.(例如，当你感到压力时，你可以通过用鼻子深呼吸，然后在呼气时大声叹气来快速放松。如果你觉得自己处于恐慌发作的边缘，深呼吸3秒，保持3秒，然后慢慢地噘起嘴唇呼出)”可知，上文提到了处于恐慌发作边缘，本句为本段最后一句应说明该如何平静下来。故B选项“重复这个练习，直到你平静下来”符合语境，故选B。 （二十二） （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期中）Einstein’s Opinions on Creative Thinking “The greatest scientists are artists as well,” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist. For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. 106 “All great achievements of science must start from intuitive (直觉的) knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.” 107 Surprisingly, it wasn’t the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. 108 That’s why he said that great scientists were also artists. 109 “If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.” Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space, which both combine spatial (空间的) and structural aspects. “The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition,” said Einstein. “My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. 110 ” A．But how did art differ from science for Einstein? B．Instead, it came from intrusion (直觉) and inspiration. C．My new discovery is the result of musical insight. D．There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then. E．Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically. F．Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music. G．For Einstein, it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achievements. 【答案】106．B 107．A 108．E 109．F 110．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了爱因斯坦关于创造性思维的观点。 106．上文“For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. (对爱因斯坦来说，洞察力并非来自逻辑或数学)”并结合后文““All great achievements of science must start from intuitive (直觉的) knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”(“一切伟大的科学成就都必须从直觉知识开始。想象力比知识更重要。”)”可知，空处顺接前文，说明爱因斯坦认为洞察力应来自于直觉。B项“相反，它来自直觉和灵感。”符合语境。故选B。 107．下文“Surprisingly, it wasn’t the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed. (令人惊讶的是，决定某件事是艺术还是科学的不是一个想法的内容或主题，而是这个想法是如何表达的)”说明决定某件事是艺术还是科学是根据想法是如何表达的。空处引出了下文关于艺术和科学的区别的论述。A项中“art differ from science”和下文的“whether something was art or science”相呼应，而A项的这个问题“但对爱因斯坦来说，艺术和科学有何不同？”正好引出本段的主题。故选A。 108．上文“If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art.(如果所看到和经历的是用逻辑的语言描述的，那么这就是科学。如果它被直观地传达和识别，那么它就是艺术)”说明艺术和科学的不同。空处顺接上文，和下文形成因果关系。E项中的“worked intuitively and expressed himself logically” 和上文“看到和经历的是用逻辑的语言描述的就是科学，它被直观地传达和识别，那么它就是艺术”相呼应，表明爱因斯坦本人凭直觉工作，用逻辑表达自己，也是下文他被称为伟大的科学家也是艺术家的原因。故选E。 109．下文““If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.”(“如果我不是一名物理学家，”他曾说，“我可能会成为一名音乐家。我经常在音乐中思考，我从音乐中看待我的生活。我的生活中最快乐的部分来自音乐。”)”说明音乐对爱因斯坦帮助很大。F项“爱因斯坦的科学洞察力和直觉主要归功于音乐。”适合做本段的主旨句。故选F。 110．上文““The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition,” said Einstein. (爱因斯坦说：“相对论是我凭直觉产生的，音乐是这种直觉背后的驱动力。”)”说明音乐对他的工作产生的积极影响。空处承接上文，说明了爱因斯坦是靠音乐才有了新发现，而且和本段音乐对他的帮助的主题相符合。C项“我的新发现是音乐洞察力的结果。”符合语境。故选C。 （二十三） （23-24高二上·安徽合肥·期中）It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have roommates to share a home with.

Here are some lifesaving habits you are supposed to remember every time you fly. Your carry-on bag The safest thing to do with your carry-on is leave it on the plane. Flight crews ask you to keep your luggage clear of the aisles (通道) for a reason. 121 With as few as 90 seconds to evacuate (撤离) a burning place, the precious time spent reaching for luggage could be a life and death decision for someone. Your seat 122 The safest place to sit on a plane is behind the wings. A Popular Mechanics study of 20 commercial jet crashes with both fatalities (死亡) and survivors found that passengers seated in the rear cabin (behind the wings) had a 69 percent chance of survival, compared with just 49 percent for those in first class. During a crash The first thing you should do during a crash is put on the oxygen mask the minute it drops. During a loss of cabin pressure, the fall in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as 20 seconds. 123 You can’t help if you can’t breathe. Listen to your flight attendants. Most importantly, through any emergency, be nice to the flight attendant. What to wear 124 The US National Transportation Safety Board says that 68 percent of plane crash fatalities occur in post-crash fires, not in the initial impact. Fortunately, here’s what you can plan for days in advance while you pack your suitcase: on the day you’re flying, avoid wearing synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. Instead, choose natural materials like cotton or wool. It’s also a good idea to wear long pants (like jeans) and a long-sleeved shirt for extra protection from flames and sharp objects. 125 Sippers might seem like a good idea for braving airport security, but in the chaos of a crash or evacuation, they’ll only slow you down. A．You can narrowly escape from an air crash. B．Always secure your oxygen mask before helping others. C．Good mentality (心态) of a pilot is a necessity for safe flight. D．Besides, the best shoes to wear on a plane never leave your feet. E．The safest way to dress on a plane is avoid anything easy to catch fire. F．In the event of an evacuation, you don’t want it blocking an escape route. G．In the event of an evacuation, the closer you are to an exit, the higher the chance you’ll have to escape safely. 【答案】121．F 122．G 123．B 124．E 125．D 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章详细介绍了每次坐飞机时都应该记住的救生习惯，如：随身行李的处置，穿衣服的选择以及易于逃生的座位选择。 121．根据上文“The safest thing to do with your carry-on is leave it on the plane. Flight crews ask you to keep your luggage clear of the aisles(通道)for a reason (对你的随身行李最安全的处理方法就是把它留在飞机上。空乘人员要求你不要把行李放在过道上是有原因的。)”可知，下文会进行解释这么做的原因，F项“In the event of an evacuation, you don’t want it blocking an escape route. (在疏散事件中，你不希望它挡住逃生路线。)”，下文“With as few as 90 seconds to evacuate (撤离) a burning place, the precious time spent reaching for luggage could be a life and death decision for someone. (从一个燃烧的地方撤离的时间只有90秒，对于一个人来说，花在拿行李上的宝贵时间可能是生死攸关的决定。)”，F项中的it指代上文中的your carry-on，F项和下文指出了随身行李在疏散时可能带来的问题，上下文衔接连贯，故选F项。 122．本段与Your seat有关，下文“The safest place to sit on a plane is behind the wings. A Popular Mechanics study of 20 commercial jet crashes with both fatalities (死亡) and survivors found that passengers seated in the rear cabin (behind the wings) had a 69 percent chance of survival, compared with just 49 percent for those in first class. (飞机上最安全的地方是机翼后面。《大众力学》对20起造成人员伤亡和幸存者的商业飞机失事进行了研究，发现坐在后排客舱的乘客有69%的生还几率，而坐在头等舱的乘客只有49%。)”可知，此处分析了飞机上乘客的位置与生还的几率之间的关系，G项“In the event of an evacuation, the closer you are to an exit, the higher the chance you’ll have to escape safely. (在紧急疏散的情况下，你离出口越近，安全逃生的几率就越高。)”可知，离出口近的位置，乘客安全逃生的几率高，上下文话题一致，衔接连贯顺畅，故选G项。 123．上文“During a loss of cabin pressure, the fall in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as 20 seconds. (在机舱失压时，氧气的下降可以在短短20秒内使你失去意识。)”可知，在飞机出事时可能会出现的缺氧现象，B项“Always secure your oxygen mask before helping others. (在帮助别人之前一定要戴好氧气面罩。)”，下文“You can’t help if you can’t breathe. (如果你不能呼吸，你也没办法帮别人。)”可知，此处话题一致，与氧气面罩有关，上下文连贯顺畅。故选B项。 124．此处话题为What to wear，下文“The US National Transportation Safety Board says that 68 percent of plane crash fatalities occur in post-crash fires, not in the initial impact. (美国国家运输安全委员会表示，68%的空难死亡发生在坠机后的火灾中，而不是在最初的撞击中。)”可知，飞机失事时，多数死亡事件与火灾有关，E项“The safest way to dress on a plane is avoid anything easy to catch fire. (在飞机上穿衣服最安全的方法是避免任何容易着火的东西。)”，增加生还几率的穿着为：不穿容易着火的面料的衣服。上下文连贯顺畅，故选E项。 125．此段话题为What to wear，上文“It’s also a good idea to wear long pants (like jeans) and a long-sleeved shirt for extra protection from flames and sharp objects. (穿长裤，如牛仔裤，和长袖衬衫也是个好主意，可以额外保护免受火焰和尖锐物体的伤害。)”，D项“Besides, the best shoes to wear on a plane never leave your feet. (此外，在飞机上穿的最好的鞋子永远不会离开你的脚。)”，上下文衔接连贯，话题一致，均为坐飞机时的穿着注意要点，故选D项。 试卷第1页，共3页 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 $$
