考题猜想03阅读七选五期中必刷15篇 （一） （2024·浙江·模拟预测）A 2021 report from Habitat for Humanity International found that SDG 11.1 was actually regressing. We are seeing stagnation instead of progress toward the goal. Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements. 1 Here are three steps that governments — and leaders in both the public and private sectors — can take to alleviate this growing housing crisis: 1. Prioritize land tenure (占有) security Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit. This has already happened on a large scale in countries such as Honduras, where civil society organizations and governments came together to form diverse commissions that developed policy recommendations around housing and land, negotiating approval of the recommendations and then monitoring their implementation. 2 . 2. 3 For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible. 4 They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes. 3. Strengthen climate-resilient housing 5 .The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials. For example, an NGO based in Sierra Leone, Home Leone, has over the past 5 years been developing affordable housing utilizing low-cost construction techniques, and providing facilities to meet the basic needs of communities and an integrated approach to housing development for low-income communities. We must act now to pave a stronger foundation for the more than 10 billion people expected to inhabit our cities by 2050. This starts with the urgent improvement of housing in rapidly expanding informal settlements worldwide. This long-overdue investment will more than pay for itself by building more prosperous and equitable communities for generations to come. A．Expand finance for housing B．Revolutionize mortgage loans C．Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change D．That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes. E．But the situation has changed a lot. F．Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights G．Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades. （二） （2024新课标全国Ⅰ卷）Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____1____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. ____2____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. ____3____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ____4____ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". ____5____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. （三） （2023·广东汕头·金山中学校考模拟预测）Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. 1 This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy. 2 Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. 3 This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. 4 This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. 5 What one minute change can you make to your life today? A．The key is to change a little bit at a time. B．Keeping on exercising can build up strength. C．It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed. D．Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal. E．Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed. F．Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear. G．Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved. （四） （2024新课标全国Ⅱ卷）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___1___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___2___ ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___3___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● ___4___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___5___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there. A. Visit during off-peak times. B. So, should we stop traveling? C. Travel for you and no one else. D. Can overtourism be avoided then? E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places. F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it. G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting. （五） （2024全国甲卷）What is moderation (适度)? Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. ____1____ But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love. Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. ____2____ It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, “specially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. ____3____ Control emotional (情绪的) eating. ____4____ Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings. ____5____ A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14 — 16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight. A Eat properly throughout the day. B. We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger. C. Don't swallow a meal on the way to work. D. Most of us need to double the amount we eat. E. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices. F. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now. G.

But how to relieve stress by drawing? ◎ 2 Content does not matter as much as the ideas you associate with whatever you choose to draw. If you find mountains or trees relaxing to be around, try your hand at drawing. Other likely candidates include: pets, flowers, leaves, fruits, a building or place you admire or have positive memories in. ◎Be somewhere with minimal distractions. 3 Somewhere private is best, as your drawing will not be disturbed by the presence of others, and you will be less likely to be interrupted. Drawing outside can also give you inspiration and ideas of things to draw. ◎Release emotion onto the sheets of paper. Without intending to draw anything in particular, simply apply your drawing to a blank sheet of paper. Close your eyes. Focus on whatever emotions you’re feeling and would like to get rid of. Once you’re focused on emotion, allow it to pass through your arm and hand onto the sheet of paper. Allow your emotion, not your mind, to give orders to the movement of the pen or pencil. 4 ◎Have some fun when drawing. 5 Don’t worry about the final product and don’t judge your artistic abilities. Lose yourself in the experience of creation! Sitting down to draw for just a few minutes can make you get a boost in energy and may even feel more open-minded for the rest of the day. A．Let yourself enjoy the process. B．Draw something that comforts you. C．Just gather the tools you need and start drawing. D．Further, drawing can calm you down in multiple ways. E．Hang the drawing up somewhere it will catch your eye. F．Switch off your phone, and avoid areas with televisions or computers.

Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey. ·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. ___1___ You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ·Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. ___2___ ·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. ___3___ Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges.

This doesn't necessarily have to be so. ___1___ Schedule It Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself! ___2___ All you really need is about 15 minutes a day and that can really start to swing the pendulum (钟摆 )  in the other direction.  I find that 15 minutes in the morning after a fresh cup of coffee is an ideal time for some creative work. You can plan a day to go out and explore something new to get inspired, whatever you feel is going to fuel your creative energy. Schedule these into your month, as well. Shift Your Mindset Like I mentioned, sometimes it has to start with your own belief. ___3___, then it's not going to happen. I found that once I redesigned my business to free up more time for me, 1 was able to really let go of guilt and realize that creativity is self-care. Even if it's not going to better your career. it's likely going to "better" you, and that makes it all worthwhile. Make Space ___4___,but how about physical space? Is there a place in your home that you can devote to your creativity? Maybe it's in your office. You can have a spot with your art utensils. musical instruments, your favorite books.

In order to change this situation, it’s important to decrease waste to the most. ___2___. As a matter of fact, e-invitations are quick, easy, and more modern than traditional paper invites. ___3___. If there are any people in your crowd who say it’s tacky (俗气的)to use e-cards, tell them it’s tackier to pollute the environment by using traditional ones. That should keep them quiet. Reuse and recycle. Reduce waste by buying party foods (with less packaging) and send guests home with leftover shacks. Use plates you can wash and reuse, rather than hand out disposable paper plates for people’s pizza. Make it easy for your guests to recycle. ___4___, making it obvious that one is for real rubbish and the other is for recycled goods. Allow each person only one cup.

Prioritize land tenure (占有) security Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit. This has already happened on a large scale in countries such as Honduras, where civil society organizations and governments came together to form diverse commissions that developed policy recommendations around housing and land, negotiating approval of the recommendations and then monitoring their implementation. 2 . 2. 3 For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible. 4 They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes. 3. Strengthen climate-resilient housing 5 .The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials. For example, an NGO based in Sierra Leone, Home Leone, has over the past 5 years been developing affordable housing utilizing low-cost construction techniques, and providing facilities to meet the basic needs of communities and an integrated approach to housing development for low-income communities.

This starts with the urgent improvement of housing in rapidly expanding informal settlements worldwide. This long-overdue investment will more than pay for itself by building more prosperous and equitable communities for generations to come. A．Expand finance for housing B．Revolutionize mortgage loans C．Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change D．That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes. E．But the situation has changed a lot. F．Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights G．Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．G 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。国际人居中心2021年的一份报告发现，可持续发展目标11.1实际上正在倒退。我们看到的是停滞不前，而不是朝着目标前进。本文针对这一问题提出了几个建议。 1．根据上文“Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements.(各国政府必须优先考虑足够的住房，尤其是为那些在当今拥挤的定居点中挣扎求生的人提供足够的住房。)”可知此处上下文说的是政府要提供足够的住房。增加住房就意味着更多的财政投入，可推理出下文说的是与财政投入的增加有关的话题，与D项“That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes.(这意味着将财政承诺增加一个数量级，并做出有意义的政策改变)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。 2．根据上文“Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit.(确保非正规住区的居民对其居住的土地享有安全的权利。)”可知此处上下文说的是与保障居民所居住的土地安全有关的话题，与F项“Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights(通过技术援助，100多万人改善了获得土地权利的机会)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 3．根据下文“For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible.(对于弗里敦非正规定居点和无数其他城市的居民来说，传统的住房融资渠道根本无法获得。)”可知下文提出了一个需要解决的问题，可推理出下文对这一问题给与扩大住房融资有关的建议，与A项“Expand finance for housing(扩大住房融资)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。 4．根据下文“They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes.(它们表现出与传统抵押贷款相似的特征，但较小的规模有助于低收入家庭更容易获得这些贷款。)”可知此处上下文说的是与小额贷款有助于解决问题有关的话题，与G项“Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.(小额贷款为个人提供了获得住房改善和升级资金的途径，从而带来了希望。)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。 5．根据下文“The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials.(公共和私营部门可以合作，支持和投资社区初创企业，专门从事低成本、气候适应性强的住房和当地采购的建筑材料。)”可推理出上文解释了为什么要支持从事气候适应性强的住房的初创企业，与C项“Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change(非正规住区极易受到气候变化的影响)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 （二） （2024新课标全国Ⅰ卷）Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____1____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. ____2____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. ____3____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ____4____ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". ____5____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. E 4. A 5. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以及从中获得的乐趣。 【1题详解】 上文“If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(如果你想发表，提交一份完美的、专业的手稿是至关重要的)”提到了完美的、专业的手稿的重要性，手稿中不能有语法和拼写错误是专业的手稿的要求之一。F选项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.(这意味着语法正确，没有拼写错误。)”是对手稿要求的进一步解释说明，符合题意。故选F项。 【2题详解】 上文“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.(我不相信我笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。)”提到了作者不相信电脑的拼写检查器;下文“Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.(当然，现在有很多在线词典和同义词库，但我是一个守旧的人，更喜欢精装的书和能用手指翻阅的书页。)”提到了作者更喜欢实体书和能用手指翻阅的书页，说明电子设备可能不会考虑上下文，所以B选项“It takes no account of the context.(它不考虑上下文。)”解释了上文的原因，具有承上启下的作用。故选B项。 【3题详解】 下文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.(它应该给出每个单词的精确定义，从而将其与其他含义相似但不相同的单词区分开来。它通常还会显示单词的发音。)”提到了字典的功能，E选项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.(当然，字典不仅仅是用来拼写的。)”提到了字典的部分功能，能引起下文内容。故选E项。 【4题详解】 下文“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.(然而，如果我需要检查一个单词的来源或查找其用法的例子，没有什么比这更好的了。)”提到了字典的使用情况，A选项“I don’t often use this dictionary.(我不经常用这本字典。)”是对字典使用频率的说明，与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。 【5题详解】 上文“ “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work, ” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ”dull".(约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道：“编字典是件无聊的工作(乏味)。”)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工作，下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣，D选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价，与上文的“乏味”形成对比，与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。 （三） （2023·广东汕头·金山中学校考模拟预测）Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. 1 This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy. 2 Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. 3 This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. 4 This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. 5 What one minute change can you make to your life today? A．The key is to change a little bit at a time. B．Keeping on exercising can build up strength. C．It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed. D．Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal. E．Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed. F．Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear. G．Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．C 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何养成好习惯的方法。 1．根据上文“Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. (我们的生活充满了习惯。不幸的是，其中很多都是坏习惯。打破这些坏习惯的一个方法是让我们的生活充满好习惯。大多数人有一天决定，他们需要改变自己的生活，然后他们全力以赴，做出彻底的改变。这可能在最初几天对他们有用，但之后他们就会筋疲力尽。)”可知，做出巨大改变可能在最初几天对他们有用，但随后他们就会筋疲力尽。接下来应该进一步解释，很快他们又恢复了原来的习惯，一切都没有改变。选项E“很快，他们又回到了原来的习惯，什么都没有改变。”和上文意思一致。故选E。 2．根据下文“Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (说你的目标是每天早起一小时。有一天，你开始提前一个小时设置闹钟，并保持一周。然后，因为你天生抗拒改变，你又回到了旧习惯。更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，这一段介绍改变坏习惯需要一点点做。选项A“关键是一次改变一点点。”和下文意思一致。故选A。 3．根据上文“A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，坏习惯要一点点改变，所以需要的时间应该会很长。选项C“这可能需要更长的时间，但通过这种方法，你很可能会成功。”和上文意思一致。故选C。 4．根据上文“This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. (这种方法几乎适用于任何事情。如果你每天锻炼半小时，你想把时间增加到一小时，那么每天增加一分钟。一个月后，你的身体和思想几乎没有抵抗力，你就达到了目标。)”可知，这一段进一步讲述一点点改变坏习惯的好处。选项F“慢慢地改变会消除我们必须改变的最大障碍：恐惧。”和上文意思一致。故选F。 5．根据上文“This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. (这种改变的方法是温和的，但非常强大。想想如果你一次只不断进步一点点，你能完成的一切。变化本身创造了你继续前进所需的动力。)”可知，这一段是用鼓励性的语言总结一点点温和改变坏习惯的好处。选项G“很快你就会发现自己在几乎没有痛苦的情况下实现了目标。”呼应上文讲温和改变坏习惯的好处。故选G。 （四） （2024新课标全国Ⅱ卷）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___1___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___2___ ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___3___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● ___4___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___5___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there. A. Visit during off-peak times. B. So, should we stop traveling? C. Travel for you and no one else. D. Can overtourism be avoided then? E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places. F.

But how to relieve stress by drawing? ◎ 2 Content does not matter as much as the ideas you associate with whatever you choose to draw. If you find mountains or trees relaxing to be around, try your hand at drawing. Other likely candidates include: pets, flowers, leaves, fruits, a building or place you admire or have positive memories in. ◎Be somewhere with minimal distractions. 3 Somewhere private is best, as your drawing will not be disturbed by the presence of others, and you will be less likely to be interrupted. Drawing outside can also give you inspiration and ideas of things to draw. ◎Release emotion onto the sheets of paper. Without intending to draw anything in particular, simply apply your drawing to a blank sheet of paper. Close your eyes. Focus on whatever emotions you’re feeling and would like to get rid of. Once you’re focused on emotion, allow it to pass through your arm and hand onto the sheet of paper. Allow your emotion, not your mind, to give orders to the movement of the pen or pencil. 4 ◎Have some fun when drawing. 5 Don’t worry about the final product and don’t judge your artistic abilities. Lose yourself in the experience of creation! Sitting down to draw for just a few minutes can make you get a boost in energy and may even feel more open-minded for the rest of the day. A．Let yourself enjoy the process. B．Draw something that comforts you. C．Just gather the tools you need and start drawing. D．Further, drawing can calm you down in multiple ways. E．Hang the drawing up somewhere it will catch your eye. F．Switch off your phone, and avoid areas with televisions or computers. G．Whatever comes out on the page is simply an expression of your feelings. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．F 4．G 5．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文 。本文主要介绍如何通过画画这种最简单且最令人满意的方式来缓解压力。 1．根据上文“One of the easiest and most satisfying ways to express your creativity is by drawing.(表达你的创造力的最简单和最令人满意的方法之一就是画画)”以及后文“It can also help distract (使分心) you from negative thoughts, clear your mind, and provide you with a constructive way to release emotion.(它还可以帮助你从消极的想法中转移注意力，清理你的大脑，并为你提供一种建设性的方式来释放情绪)”可知，后文说明了画画的好处, 所以空处也应是说明画画的好处。故D项“此外，绘画可以通过多种方式让你平静下来。”也是在谈论画画的好处，且其中的 Further与上文形成了递进关系。故选D。 2．分析文章结构及空处所在的位置可知, 本空应填本段的主旨句。结合空后的“If you find mountains or trees relaxing to be around, try your hand at drawing. Other likely candidates include: pets, flowers, leaves, fruits, a building or place you admire or have positive memories in.(如果你觉得周围的山或树很放松，那就试着画画吧。其他可能的候选者包括：宠物、鲜花、树叶、水果、你欣赏或有积极记忆的建筑或地方)”可知，这一段主要是说, 画一些让你感到安慰的事物。故B项“画一些能安慰你的东西”符合此处的语境。故选B。 3．根据本段的主旨句“Be somewhere with minimal distractions.(去一个分心事物最少的地方)”以及后文“Somewhere private is best, as your drawing will not be disturbed by the presence of others, and you will be less likely to be interrupted.(在私密的地方画画是最好的，因为你的画不会被其他人打扰，你也不太可能被打断)”可知，空处应是对前一句的进一步解释说明，应与“做一些避免被分心的事”有关，故F项“关掉你的手机，并且避免(出现在)有电视或电脑的地方。”承上启下。故选F。 4．空处位于段尾，应是对前文内容的总结。结合本段的主旨句“Release emotion onto the sheets of paper.(把情绪释放到纸上)”以及空前两句“Once you’re focused on emotion, allow it to pass through your arm and hand onto the sheet of paper. Allow your emotion, not your mind, to give orders to the movement of the pen or pencil.(一旦你专注于情绪，让它穿过你的手臂和手到纸上。让你的情感，而不是你的头脑，来命令笔或铅笔的运动)”可知空处应是对“把情绪释放到纸上”的总结，故G项“页面上出现的任何东西都只是你的情感的一种表达。”符合此处的语境。故选 G。 5．根据前一句“Have some fun when drawing.(画画的时候要过得开心)”可知，接下来应是对这一句的补充说明，再结合空后一句的“Don’t worry about the final product and don’t judge your artistic abilities.(不要担心最终的产品，也不要评判你的艺术能力)”可知，此处表示“要享受过程。”故A项“让自己享受这个过程。”符合此处的语境。故选A。 （八） （2023·广东珠海·珠海市第一中学校考二模）Have you ever thought about traveling to new places, but you can’t afford it? 1 Basically, you work a few hours each week in exchange for free housing. Both meals and other benefits are often thrown in. The jobs range from cleaning to computer work. You can search by location or for the type of work you’re interested in. One benefit of the more popular programs is that they assist you in different ways. They also charge as little as US$ 39 and offer extra features. 2 And World packers pride themselves on their attention to safety and security. They carefully check out each potential host. They also provide a 24/7 support network for volunteers and hosts. 3 You can gain new skills in creativity, leadership, languages and more. You can drown yourself in a new culture. You’ll make new friends because you stay in one place for a while and work. Practically anyone at any age can join a program and travel throughout the year. Your length of stay depends on your host. 4 Typically, you’ll work 20 to 30 hours a week. This gives you plenty of free time to explore the area. When it comes to work exchange opportunities, the sky is the limit! You can help on a farm in Ireland. You might work in a wildlife park in Australia or as a photographer in Mexico. You could work in reception in a Japanese guesthouse. Or you might help at a South African surf camp. 5 Consider a travel work exchange. It might be the most exciting trip you ever take!

But now some experts say that to think drinking water equals health is taking things too far and that hydration(水合作用）is about the balance between electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and the water in your body. Then. how much water do you need to drink? Many say you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Not so, some experts say. 1 A 200-pound person who hikes 10 miles in the heat needs more water than a 120-pound office manager in a temperature-controlled building. 2 Someone with a heart condition or kidney stones has one level of need. A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药）may need a different amount of water.You may need to change the amount you are drinking if you lave been ill with vomiting or diarrhea. Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices. 3 One popular idea is that caffeine or alcohol will make your body lose much water. But one study showed the effect is not significant.You also get water from what you eat. Fruits, vegetables, and soups all add to the intake of water. Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough. You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink. 4 Electrolytes are essential minerals. 5 Some sports drinks ads say you need to add electrolytes to stay healthy. But some experts say that your body produces electrolytes. You may need more water if you exercise a lot during the heat of the day. Otherwise, most people get enough electrolytes from food. A．Just drink then you are thirsty. B．They are vital to many functions in the body C．It gives you more energy and makes you look good. D．Instead, your body and the activities you attend matter. E．It is also necessary to set a timetable about when to drink water. F．The amount of water you need in a day also depends on your health. G．But when it comes to hydration, any drink can add water to your system. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．G 4．A 5．B 【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。 1．根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。 2．从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。 3．根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。 4．根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号，所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了，不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足，A项符合，故选A项。 5．根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。 （十） Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person （2023全国甲卷）Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?

I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. ___1___ You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ·Paint often and paint from life.

(你会想要回顾一下自己的艺术之旅，看看自己已经取得多少进步)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，从给出建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践，到回顾自己的艺术之旅，所以C项“Don’t throw away your beginner art. (不要扔掉你的初学时的艺术作品)”符合文意，和后文形成顺承关系。故选C项。 【2题详解】 分析设空处，位于段尾，是对本段的总结，根据前文“Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. (经常作画，且从生活中作画。没有什么比不断练习更能提高你的艺术水平了。无论你是绘制静物、肖像还是风景，都要尽可能地从真实生活中去观察和绘制)”可知，本段主要讲述不断练习绘画，所以G项“You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. (你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆)”是对前文的总结。故选G项。 【3题详解】 分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“Continually challenge yourself to try something new.

(如果你感觉舒适的话，分享你的作品)”符合文意，是本段的中心句。故选D项。 【5题详解】 分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. (你的旅程不会是一条笔直的道路)”以及后文“Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.

This doesn't necessarily have to be so. ___1___ Schedule It Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself! ___2___ All you really need is about 15 minutes a day and that can really start to swing the pendulum (钟摆 )  in the other direction.  I find that 15 minutes in the morning after a fresh cup of coffee is an ideal time for some creative work. You can plan a day to go out and explore something new to get inspired, whatever you feel is going to fuel your creative energy. Schedule these into your month, as well. Shift Your Mindset Like I mentioned, sometimes it has to start with your own belief. ___3___, then it's not going to happen. I found that once I redesigned my business to free up more time for me, 1 was able to really let go of guilt and realize that creativity is self-care. Even if it's not going to better your career. it's likely going to "better" you, and that makes it all worthwhile. Make Space ___4___,but how about physical space? Is there a place in your home that you can devote to your creativity? Maybe it's in your office. You can have a spot with your art utensils. musical instruments, your favorite books. Or maybe it's in your backyard and you have a spot where you drink tea and practice writing. Sometimes it may be a corner of pillows in your bedroom that you snuggle in and listen to music. Having a devoted spot helps to foster it as a daily practice that you look forward to. ___5___ Just like all your good habits, you have to make them routine. Once you get used to carving out time and space for your creativity, you will wonder how you ever lived without it! A．Be Curious B．Make It Routine C．It can be such a waste of time D．But seriouslv, this really helps E．We've talked about mental space F．If you're not valuing your creative time G．Here are some easy tips for making it a priority 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．F 4．E 5．B 【分析】本文为说明文。我们大多数人都太忙了，以至于没有时间去创造。文章给出一些建议可以让创造成为我们的日常习惯。即合理安排，改变思维，点滴时间，腾出空间，让其成为习惯，那么就有时间与空间进行创造。 1．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。通读全文可知，上文叙述了由于大多数人们很忙，没有时间去创造。下文几个小标题就是建议你如何抽出时间和空间才能创造，分析选项可知G项（这里有一些简单的建议可以让你优先考虑）符合题意，故选G。 2．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本空前“Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself!” 把你的创造性任务写进你的日程表中，每天都去面对的事。以及下文“每天只用15分钟做一些创造性工作，可以计划一天出去探索以获取灵感等”。可知，把你的创造性任务写进你的日程是“真的有帮助的”。分析选项可知D项（但是说真的，这真的很有帮助）符合题意，故选D。 3．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本空后的内容说，如果我们重视创造，就能腾出时间，一旦创造，就会有利于我们的工作。由此可推断出，“反之，如果不重视的话(F项 If you're not valuing your creative time)，就不可能有创造（then it's not going to happen）”。因此F项符合题意，故选F。 4．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前面两点建议都是理智上的即精神上的（mental），根据空格后的转折连词but可知，本空后的内容与上文相反。根据下一句中的“how about physical space?”中的physical space，以及下文的内容可知，本段主要讨论是的physical space。可知正是与（E项We've talked about mental space）中的mental space相反。把E项放入句中，“我们已经讨论了精神空间，那么物理空间呢?”这正与本段的小标题Make Space以及下文是一致的，故E项符合题意，故选E。 5．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本小题是下一段的小标题。分析下一段“Just like all your good habits, you have to make them routine”的内容可知，就像你所有的好习惯一样，你必须让创造成为日常惯例。分析选项可知B项（Make It Routine）“让它成为例行公事”。不仅有词（routine）的复现，且意义一致，故选B。 【点睛】七选五题型考查学生把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系和把握微观信息间关联性这种题一般可从以下方面来做：    （1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，确定文章体裁，抓住文章结构，分析篇章结构，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。如第1小题，通读全文可知，上文叙述了由于大多数人们很忙，没有时间去创造。下文几个小标题就是建议你如何做才能创造，分析选项可知G项（这里有一些简单的建议可以让你优先考虑）符合题意，故选G。 （2）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如第2小题，空前“Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself!” 把你的创造性任务写进你的日程表中，每天都去面对的事。以及下文“每天只用15分钟做一些创造性工作，可以计划一天出去探索获取灵感等。可知，把你的创造性任务写进你的日程是真的有帮助的。分析选项可知D项（但是说真的，这真的很有帮助）符合题意，故选D。 （3）看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语，实现关键词的对接，尤其是词（或短语）的复现。先易后难，各个突破。通过阅读选项，有可能根据选项中的关键词找出正确选项。 （4） 解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。尤其要注意代词，连词等。如表示转折关系的but，though, however 等。如第4小题，前面两点建议都是精神上的（mental），根据空格后的转折连词but可知，本空后的内容与上文相反。根据下一句中的“how about physical space?”中的physical space，以及下文的内容可知，本段主要讨论是的physical space。可知正是与（E项We've talked about mental space）中的mental space相反。把E项放入句中，“我们已经讨论了精神空间，那么物理空间呢?”这正与本段的小标题Make Space以及下文是一致的，故E项符合题意，故选E。最后，用代入法，检查答案是否合理，将所有选择答案放回空白处，通读全文，检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。 （十四） People often throw a party to celebrate a variety of occasions.

It will end up in the landfills.(这些垃圾都去哪儿了？它最终会被扔进垃圾填埋场)”可知，垃圾最终会进入垃圾场造成污染，F项“想象一下世界上所有聚会留下的混乱”和下文构成内容上的承接，说明这些聚会产生的垃圾最终的去向。故选F项。 2．下文“As a matter of fact, e-invitations are quick, easy, and more modern than traditional paper invites.(事实上，电子邀请函比传统的纸质邀请函更快、更简单、更现代)”说明了电子邀请函的优势，是对B项“发送电子邀请函而不是纸质邀请函”的原因说明，和B项构成因果关系。故选B项。 3．下文“If there are any people in your crowd who say it’s tacky (俗气的)to use e-cards, tell them it’s tackier to pollute the environment by using traditional ones. (如果你的人群中有人说使用电子贺卡很俗气，告诉他们使用传统贺卡污染环境更俗气)”说明作者认为电子贺卡不会污染环境，C项“这也是最环保的选择”是对下文内容的概括总结，和下文构成内容上的承接。故选C项。 4．下文“making it obvious that one is for real rubbish and the other is for recycled goods(很明显，一个是放真正的垃圾，另一个是放回收商品)”提到了两个垃圾桶不同的用途，E项“拿出两个垃圾桶，在上面写清楚”和下文构成内容上的承接，表明在垃圾桶上写字的目的是为了能清晰地分辨两个垃圾桶装的不同的物品。故选E项。 5．上文“As the result, after the party, you will find many cups are thrown away, causing a lot of waste.(结果，聚会结束后，你会发现很多杯子被扔掉了，造成了很多浪费)”说明聚会时使用的相同的杯子会造成浪费，G项“尝试一种新的系统，给每位客人一个杯子，上面写着他们的名字”是对上文内容的承接介绍了避免浪费的技巧就是在杯子上写名字，同时也和本段的主题句“Allow each person only one cup.(每人只能拥有一个杯子)”相呼应。故选G项。 （十五） People say water can improve health and memory. But now some experts say that to think drinking water equals health is taking things too far and that hydration(水合作用）is about the balance between electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and the water in your body. Then. how much water do you need to drink? Many say you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Not so, some experts say. ___1___ A 200-pound person who hikes 10 miles in the heat needs more water than a 120-pound office manager in a temperature-controlled building. ___2___ Someone with a heart condition or kidney stones has one level of need. A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药）may need a different amount of water.You may need to change the amount you are drinking if you lave been ill with vomiting or diarrhea. Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.___3___One popular idea is that caffeine or alcohol will make your body lose much water. But one study showed the effect is not significant.You also get water from what you eat. Fruits, vegetables, and soups all add to the intake of water. Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough. You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.___4___ Electrolytes are essential minerals. ___5___ Some sports drinks ads say you need to add electrolytes to stay healthy. But some experts say that your body produces electrolytes. You may need more water if you exercise a lot during the heat of the day. Otherwise, most people get enough electrolytes from food. A．Just drink then you are thirsty. B．They are vital to many functions in the body C．It gives you more energy and makes you look good. D．Instead, your body and the activities you attend matter. E．It is also necessary to set a timetable about when to drink water. F．The amount of water you need in a day also depends on your health. G．But when it comes to hydration, any drink can add water to your system. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．G 4．A 5．B 【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。 1．根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。 2．从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。 3．根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。 4．根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号，所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了，不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足，A项符合，故选A项。 5．根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。 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 $$
