考题猜想04 精选七选五专项训练15篇 1 Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. 1 *Relax and breathe Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax. When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease. 2 *Think and you will be prepared 3 Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident. * 4 If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears. A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. 5 If you make an effort, you will succeed. A．Have you ever heard the old saying “think before you speak”? B．First think, and you will be prepared. C．Follow the flow of the conversation. D．This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well. E．You and the other person will have fun chatting with each other. F．Please follow the 3 basic steps below. G．Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. 2 For many of us, pets are an important part of our family. 1 Here are four things you should do to make sure your pet is ready for air travel. Make sure your pet is vaccinated. 2 But almost every destination requires pets like dogs and cats to have a vaccination. And the vaccination must usually be within less than a year. Be sure to talk to your vet about what other vaccinations your pet might need for your destination. Find out if your pet needs to be microchipped. Many places require pet dogs and cats to be microchipped. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice, and is placed under the skin between the animal’s shoulders. 3 Get your pet comfortable with their carrier. Your pet will probably have to travel in a box or carrier while in the air. You should get them used to this environment before you fly, putting them in it regularly. 4 Try putting the carrier in your car to get your pet used to the feeling of traveling in it. 5 So they don’t need to go to the bathroom too much, pet product company Chewy recommends not feeding your dog or cat for 4 — 6 hours before flying. This will also help make them less likely to throw up if they get motion sickness. A．Avoid feeding your pet before flying. B．Find ways to keep your pets off sickness. C．Every country has its own rules for visiting animals. D．Thus give them time to fall asleep there if possible. E．And we certainly don’t want to leave them behind when travelling. F．It isn’t easy for pets to get used to their new environment in the air. G．If your pet gets lost, this microchip can be scanned to find your contact information. 3 “I feel my heart beating, my eyes widen and almost automatically (自动地) , I start to smile,” Prayitno Goenarto says. This is how he feels when he sees a new kind of bird. Goenarto is a birdwatcher and wildlife photographer from Indonesia. He is now 31 years old. When he became sick in college, his doctor asked him to go out more often for sunlight, exercise and fresh air. 1 A birdwatcher needs to know a lot and be brave and strong. Goenarto spends most of his time working in the wild. He knows where and when to find different kinds of birds. Sometimes he has to go deep into the forest to find the shy birds. 2 He might get lost. He has to look out for snakes and some big animals. Once, Goenarto went to a faraway island to look for some rare birds. 3 He worked in wet clothes for the whole trip. Goenarto loves his work. Birdwatching helps him stay healthy and he can make friends with other birdwatchers. 4 This helps more people learn about birds and take action to protect them. That's the best part of the job! 5 They study and protect the rare birds. Terry Townshend is a British birdwatcher in China. He has studied Beijing swifts for over ten years. Xu Zhuo protects red-crowned cranes in Heilongjiang. Her father, aunt and grandparents also spent their lifetime looking after the birds. Now the young girl has the job. A．It can be dangerous. B．It rained heavily every day. C．Most birds are active in the daytime. D．That's when he started watching birds. E．If we do nothing, there may be none left soon. F．Moreover, he catches wonderful moments of birds. G．In China, there are lots of birdwatchers like Goenarto. 4 Plan a Friendsgiving meal A Friendsgiyving is when friends gather together to celebrate their friendships. 1 Hosting a Friendsgiving can be a wonderful way to show thanks to their friends. Here’s how to get started. Choose a date Make sure to settle on a date when most of your friends are available. 2 This is because most of your attendees will most likely have plans with their family for that Thursday. 3 A Friendsgiving meal is more informal. Instead of roasting a turkey, you could tell friends to each bring a dish to go with the main course you will provide. To avoid guests bringing the same dish, keep a list of who is bringing what. Decorate your space Make a sigh for your front door that welcomes everyone. On the dining table, there could be colorful place cards you made for each person. To make it more fun, instead of their- names, write a little clue about each person and see if everyone can guess theirs. 4 Do an activity together 5 One idea is for your group to do a fun craft together, and your guests can take home what they make. You could also work on a big puzzle (拼图) or just head outside for a ball game. A．Make a menu B．Ski p the meal C．It’s also fun to plan an activity for your event. D．Plus, add ribbons and balloons to make it joyful. E．The name is a mix of friends and Thanksgiving. F．This special gathering can help you celebrate your friendships. G．The weekend either before or after Thanksgiving would be a good choice. 5 Starting the high school life can be a big challenge for many students, but with the right strategies, it can be a smooth change. 1 . Get organized One of the first things you need to do is get organized. 2 . Keeping track of your assignments, tests, and extracurricular activities will help you manage your time wisely. Setting aside regular time for studying, breaking tasks into manageable parts, and finding a study environment that works for you will make your study and school life easier. Join clubs and activities Joining clubs and activities is a great way to meet new people and find like- minded peers (同龄人). Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. It can also help you discover new interests and passions. 3 . Seek help when needed 4 . Remember, it’s okay to ask for help; no one expects you to know everything. Don’t be afraid to ask teachers, counselors, or peers for help when you need it. Recognizing when you need help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Seeking help can provide you with new perspectives (视角；观点) and solutions that you might not have considered on your own. 5 High school is a time for exploration and self- discovery. It’s important to remember that everyone is in the same boat and that it’s okay to make mistakes as you learn and grow. Being receptive to different perspectives and backgrounds can help you understand and appreciate the diversity (多样性) in your new class. A．Stay positive and open- minded B．Focus on your progress rather than mistakes C．The first step is to create a schedule or a plan D．It’s completely normal to feel at a loss at times E．Hopefully, here are some benefits of right strategies to make it smooth F．Here are some tips to help you make your first year of high school successful G．Every new experience is an opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world around you 6 We all have times in our lives when we just have too many things to deal with. 1 Well, that’s crazy, because if you get ill then you’re going to be able to do nothing. Here are some ideas to take care of yourself. 2 Living with clutter (杂乱) and never being able to find what you need when you need it causes stress. Take time to develop a system and then use it. Instead of keeping all the things you need to do in your head, write them down on a piece of paper. Spend 30 minutes per day on personal development. 3 And negative ones will disappear. If we want to be successful in work and life, we need to develop the habit of feeding our minds in a positive way. So take in good inspiring information. Say no to anything that is not important to you. Give yourself permission to focus on what’s important. Getting the unnecessary, tiresome responsibilities off your schedule will give you more time and space. 4 Take 5­minute mini­breaks every hour. 5 So no matter how efficiently you work, you should always have your mind relaxed or end up spending time doing other things when you try to keep going hour after hour. Instead, break up each hour by getting up from your chair and walking outside to take a 5­minute break. A．Get organized. B．Write a journal entry every day. C．You can’t stay focused all the time. D．Fill your minds with positive thoughts. E．Besides, it will reduce the pressure that you feel. F．As a result, we often forget to look after ourselves. G．Eating healthily is one of the most sensible things you can do for yourself. 7 Why is Chinese a Good Language to Learn If there’s one language in the world that’s worth learning, it’s the Chinese language. You must be wondering why. 1 Gain the job opportunities. With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west. 2 It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers. Know about the history and culture. 3 In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world. It’s agreed that four great inventions — namely paper-making, printing, gunpowder and the compass — made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road. To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep insight into the history of Asia, speaking the language can be beneficial. 4 Chinese literature, both ancient and modern, comes from an entirely different cultural background than literature written in the West. To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital. Enjoy the food. In Britain, we’re familiar with Chinese food — or at least, a Westernized version of it. By learning the Chinese language, you’ll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean. In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar. 5 A．Translate the literature. B．Appreciate the literature. C．Here come a few good reasons to learn the language. D．Therefore, the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable. E．China is home to the history and culture that runs for thousands of years. F．You might even develop an appreciation for Chinese cuisine for its varieties. G．Chinese culture has had a great influence on the world for thousands of years. 8 If you’ve recently noticed some signs that your friend might be struggling emotionally (情绪上地), you may be wondering why they haven’t brought up their struggles with you directly. 1 They may not know how to talk about how they’re feeling. They may not want to worry others. They may want to reach out for help but feel embarrassed (尴尬的). As a friend, one way you can offer support is by starting the conversation instead of waiting for them to confide in you (向你透露秘密). 2 You could start with something like, “You don’t seem like yourself lately. Maybe it’s just everything going on right now, but I wanted to see if we could sit down and catch up.” Choose a comfortable place where you can have a talk in relative privacy. You could offer to drink coffee or go for a walk in a park. 3 Start the conversation from a place of support. For example, you could say something like, “You seem a little down lately and I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you.” 4 Put away your phone, make eye contact or, if that is too direct, put yourself in a way that shows you are fully there and ready to listen. Really listen to them. Not only listen to details of their story, but also listen for the specific emotions they are sharing. The various events, exchanges and people that are involved (牵扯) in stressful situations matter. 5 It might be impossible to change the situation, but it can be possible to soothe (抚慰) their emotions. A．Ask them to get together. B．A noisy environment is not the right choice. C．But what’s most important is how they feel. D．Be comfortable with silence if they need to take their time. E．Be sure to give them your full attention from the beginning. F．Sometimes when we’re unhappy, we feel like no one understands what we’re going through. G．There are many reasons why a friend might not be up front with you about what they’re going through. 9 Zoos are very popular. In the beginning, zoos’ conditions were poor and animals were treated badly yet they have grown more suitable for both humans and animals, though many people still question if it is right to keep animals in such places. The most important reason why zoos should be kept open is that they can prevent the extinction (灭绝) of certain animals. 1 Now, in the 21st century, cages (笼子) are being improved to suit the animal’s needs. Consider Twycross Zoo as an example. Recently, they spent over £20,000 redesigning (重新设计) their monkey house. 2 Some people say that you can learn about animals on TV and the Internet. But you can’t see their interactions with others in person and you can’t feel their skin through a screen. However, one argument against zoos being kept open is that living in one cage can bore an animal. 3 That does not teach anyone how they behave. David Attenborough — a famous naturalist — once said, “Protection of animals’ natural habitats should be human’s focus, not building more zoos to make us feel better after destroying their homes!” 4 They cannot experience how it feels to roam (漫步) the wild freely. They can only meet other animals in their cage so cannot socialize. 5 They do more good than harm. They can keep animals healthy, feed them when they need food and stop their extinction. Animals that live within zoos often have a longer life span (寿命) compared to animals in the wild. A．All animals in zoos can be protected easily. B．I personally think zoos should be kept open. C．Animals do not act naturally around people. D．What’s more, zoos can teach humans more about animals. E．Besides, animals in zoos do not learn how to live properly in the wild. F．People love to take pictures of anything they find interesting including animals. G．I would like the next generation to be able to see the animals we see today in zoos. 10 We live in a culture that encourages us to be strong and independent, but is it possible that we have gone too far? Over-independence is the belief that you are the only person you can depend on. 1 For example, you have depended on someone in the past and been let down, so, as a result, you have a “if you want something done, you have to do it yourself” mind. 2 One day, I had just come back from a funeral(葬礼) when a friend called me to see how I was. Being so used to being very over-independent at that point, I said he didn't need to worry. Hours later, he turned up at my door simply saying, “I thought you might want a hug.” He was right. 3 What I ignored was that the great pressure I put on myself to do everything alone was blocking me from forming real and close connections, because in order to ask for help, you need to trust others and let them in. 4 But living a life where you don't give anyone a chance to be there for you is extremely lonely, and not the solution. Humans are sociable creatures. With our communities getting smaller and smaller, and our dependence on others becoming greater, it can be really easy to feel alone. 5 When you feel like no one cares, text someone who you love. The more you give them a roadmap on how to help you, the more they can. So feel free to ask someone for support, and it is so worth it. A．I felt the opposite. B．I used to be the same. C．He taught me to ask for what I want. D．It is often born out of a painful experience. E．Learning how to ask for help is rather hard. F．Letting people in gives them possibility to hurt you. G．The way we deal with this is by reaching out anyway. 11 Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one. Why is family important? What kind of impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as a grown-up? Here are four reasons why family is important: 1. Families set the stage for future relationships. The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings (兄弟姐妹). 1 It's often not a decision they are aware of, but people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to their family. 2. During hard times, people need a family they can depend on. 2 This can be emotional or financial (情感的或金钱的) support. Someone going through hard times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love. 3. Quality time with family is connected to better academic performance. Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who ate dinner with their family less than three times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. 3 Of course, there are other things at play, but families that value dinners together likely value other positive family communications. 4. 4 Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions and communicate with others. Parents are responsible for guiding their children and providing life lessons that will be remembered for years to come. 5 A．Families teach important life lessons. B．When life gets hard, people need support. C．When families are strong, communities are strong. D．These lessons form a big part of a person's worldview. E．Family relationships are connected to a person's health. F．These relationships provide a model for what future relationships will look like. G．On the other hand, kids who had family dinners 5-7 times a week did much better. 12 Anyone who has travelled with others can understand that choosing a right travel companion (同伴) is one of the most important considerations for an enjoyable holiday. We’ve all heard stories of friendship holidays that have gone wrong. When one person wants to get up early in the morning while the other prefers to sleep in until noon every day, when one person wants to separate but the other refuses. 1 Before finding out who might be a right travel companion, you have to first understand who you are as a traveller. 2 It shows where your wants and interests might fit with those of a potential (可能的) travel companion and where they might differ. Next, you have to ask your potential companion the right questions. The main purpose of these questions is to decide if you’ll be a right travel companion. 3 It’s important that you enjoy doing similar activities and work similar hours. Finally, get as much information as possible before you both decide to travel together. Set a time to meet and talk. 4 Make it clear that the goal is for you to decide whether or not to travel together. After that, look for compromises (折中方案). 5 Plan another meeting if necessary to go over the possibilities and fit them into your vacation. Staying in separate accommodations (住处), separating for short periods when your interests differ or deciding on “ground rules” are all possibilities. A．One way is to ask questions. B．The right person can make a vacation more fantastic. C．In situations where your travel styles differ, find other possibilities. D．Go out to lunch or spend a day exploring together if you live in the same area. E．These differences might cause regret, make a trip less enjoyable or end a friendship. F．Choose topics that are important to you and talk with your potential travel companion. G．Knowing your needs and travel style will help you in choosing a right travel companion. 13 City life and heavy dependence on digital (数字的) technology mean children are spending less time with nature, which can influence their mental (精神的) and physical health. This is how to connect children to nature in simple ways: 1 Let them observe the different plants in the house or the birds that come to visit. Get them to see the shape of the clouds, sunrise, sunset as well as the moon and stars. These simple tasks are possible and very enjoyable for young children. 2 They also enjoy the tactility (触感) of different shapes and textures (结构). Nature offers a rich treasure trove of discovery for them, which can be a wonderful way to begin to introduce them to nature. When outdoors, let them collect flowers or leaves from the ground, and observe their different shapes and textures. 3 Recognizing textures and shapes like this is also good for brain development. 4 Encourage them to observe the different colours and shapes of trees and point out birds, insects and small animals to them. Let them develop respect for all living things. Travel is a great way to get to know nature. Encourage visits to national parks, as opposed to only zoos. 5 Many cities have Butterfly Gardens and Nature Sanctuaries as well as Botanical Gardens, so do plan trips. Even on the beach, there are many things to observe like the colours of the sea and sky and small sea creatures. By doing small activities children learn better. A．Young children love to collect things. B．It will help sharpen their observation skills. C．It is the best way to show respect for nature. D．As they grow a bit older, take them for walks in parks. E．Developing their love for nature can make them happier. F．The former lets children observe animals in their natural environment. G．When at home, get young children to help you to water plants or feed birds. 14 City gardens are unique spots in busy cities. Who would not like to take a break from the busy life and visit these peaceful places full of life and colours? 1 They take care of the gardens and turn them into colourful places for all to enjoy. Gardens are reminders that we should slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature. 2 There, the wind hits gently on your face while carrying a refreshing fragrance(香味) of flowers. Sounds calm, right? The sound of nature calms the mind like the little bees humming or leaves whispering to each other in the mild wind. 3 It’s as if they’re telling softly stories of the earth’s wonders for those who care and love to listen to them. These places aren’t just pretty; they are a perfect place to hang out with your family or friends. They are like community centers where everyone is welcome to chat , play games, exercise, and do whatever their heart desires. 4 You can plant your own garden in the backyard and enjoy its quietness. It is scientifically proven that spending time around the greens can affect your mood(心情) positively and help you get mental peace. Everyone should visit city gardens monthly for a peaceful break. Whenever you’re feeling stressed, go to relax in nature. And when you do, don’t forget to give a nod to the gardening service teams. 5 A．They’re making it all possible. B．Imagine walking in a city garden. C．It’s like nature’s own conversation. D．That’s where gardeners are discovered. E．Gardening is nothing less than a treatment. F．What makes them even more special are the gardeners. G．It’s easy to keep these gardens good-looking and lively. 15 We often try to save money for a variety of different reasons. It might be to save up for a new computer or put money aside into a rainy-day fund. 1 But a recent study showed that over half of all 22- to 29-year-olds living in the UK have no savings at all. Did they max out their credit cards on too many things, or are there other factors? And how can we become better savers? First, put a stop to those impulse buys (冲动购物). 2 Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it’s costing you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing. 3 Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget (预算) you must stick to. Also, any change that comes from your transactions when you’re using cash can be put in a jar and deposited into your account. Finally, be disciplined. It’s not just about creating that budget. 4 You shouldn’t be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit. Successful savers stick to their plans and watch the money pile up. Just as the old saying goes: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” 5 A．It’s about sticking to it, too. B．Learning how to save is important. C．Ask about discounts and pay in cash. D．Sometimes, saving money can be difficult. E．Another way is to use cash rather than cards. F．Ask yourself if you really need to buy something. G．These are some steps we can take to help us become better savers. 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 考题猜想04 精选七选五专项训练15篇 1 Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being.

Instead of keeping all the things you need to do in your head, write them down on a piece of paper. Spend 30 minutes per day on personal development. 3 And negative ones will disappear. If we want to be successful in work and life, we need to develop the habit of feeding our minds in a positive way. So take in good inspiring information. Say no to anything that is not important to you. Give yourself permission to focus on what’s important. Getting the unnecessary, tiresome responsibilities off your schedule will give you more time and space. 4 Take 5­minute mini­breaks every hour. 5 So no matter how efficiently you work, you should always have your mind relaxed or end up spending time doing other things when you try to keep going hour after hour. Instead, break up each hour by getting up from your chair and walking outside to take a 5­minute break. A．Get organized. B．Write a journal entry every day. C．You can’t stay focused all the time. D．Fill your minds with positive thoughts. E．Besides, it will reduce the pressure that you feel. F．As a result, we often forget to look after ourselves. G．Eating healthily is one of the most sensible things you can do for yourself. 7 Why is Chinese a Good Language to Learn If there’s one language in the world that’s worth learning, it’s the Chinese language. You must be wondering why. 1 Gain the job opportunities. With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west. 2 It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers. Know about the history and culture. 3 In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world. It’s agreed that four great inventions — namely paper-making, printing, gunpowder and the compass — made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road. To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep insight into the history of Asia, speaking the language can be beneficial. 4 Chinese literature, both ancient and modern, comes from an entirely different cultural background than literature written in the West. To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital. Enjoy the food. In Britain, we’re familiar with Chinese food — or at least, a Westernized version of it. By learning the Chinese language, you’ll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean. In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar. 5 A．Translate the literature. B．Appreciate the literature. C．Here come a few good reasons to learn the language. D．Therefore, the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable. E．China is home to the history and culture that runs for thousands of years. F．You might even develop an appreciation for Chinese cuisine for its varieties. G．Chinese culture has had a great influence on the world for thousands of years. 8 If you’ve recently noticed some signs that your friend might be struggling emotionally (情绪上地), you may be wondering why they haven’t brought up their struggles with you directly. 1 They may not know how to talk about how they’re feeling. They may not want to worry others. They may want to reach out for help but feel embarrassed (尴尬的). As a friend, one way you can offer support is by starting the conversation instead of waiting for them to confide in you (向你透露秘密). 2 You could start with something like, “You don’t seem like yourself lately. Maybe it’s just everything going on right now, but I wanted to see if we could sit down and catch up.” Choose a comfortable place where you can have a talk in relative privacy. You could offer to drink coffee or go for a walk in a park. 3 Start the conversation from a place of support. For example, you could say something like, “You seem a little down lately and I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you.” 4 Put away your phone, make eye contact or, if that is too direct, put yourself in a way that shows you are fully there and ready to listen. Really listen to them. Not only listen to details of their story, but also listen for the specific emotions they are sharing. The various events, exchanges and people that are involved (牵扯) in stressful situations matter. 5 It might be impossible to change the situation, but it can be possible to soothe (抚慰) their emotions. A．Ask them to get together. B．A noisy environment is not the right choice. C．But what’s most important is how they feel. D．Be comfortable with silence if they need to take their time. E．Be sure to give them your full attention from the beginning. F．Sometimes when we’re unhappy, we feel like no one understands what we’re going through. G．There are many reasons why a friend might not be up front with you about what they’re going through. 9 Zoos are very popular. In the beginning, zoos’ conditions were poor and animals were treated badly yet they have grown more suitable for both humans and animals, though many people still question if it is right to keep animals in such places. The most important reason why zoos should be kept open is that they can prevent the extinction (灭绝) of certain animals. 1 Now, in the 21st century, cages (笼子) are being improved to suit the animal’s needs. Consider Twycross Zoo as an example. Recently, they spent over £20,000 redesigning (重新设计) their monkey house. 2 Some people say that you can learn about animals on TV and the Internet. But you can’t see their interactions with others in person and you can’t feel their skin through a screen. However, one argument against zoos being kept open is that living in one cage can bore an animal. 3 That does not teach anyone how they behave. David Attenborough — a famous naturalist — once said, “Protection of animals’ natural habitats should be human’s focus, not building more zoos to make us feel better after destroying their homes!” 4 They cannot experience how it feels to roam (漫步) the wild freely. They can only meet other animals in their cage so cannot socialize. 5 They do more good than harm. They can keep animals healthy, feed them when they need food and stop their extinction. Animals that live within zoos often have a longer life span (寿命) compared to animals in the wild. A．All animals in zoos can be protected easily. B．I personally think zoos should be kept open. C．Animals do not act naturally around people. D．What’s more, zoos can teach humans more about animals. E．Besides, animals in zoos do not learn how to live properly in the wild. F．People love to take pictures of anything they find interesting including animals. G．I would like the next generation to be able to see the animals we see today in zoos. 10 We live in a culture that encourages us to be strong and independent, but is it possible that we have gone too far? Over-independence is the belief that you are the only person you can depend on. 1 For example, you have depended on someone in the past and been let down, so, as a result, you have a “if you want something done, you have to do it yourself” mind. 2 One day, I had just come back from a funeral(葬礼) when a friend called me to see how I was. Being so used to being very over-independent at that point, I said he didn't need to worry. Hours later, he turned up at my door simply saying, “I thought you might want a hug.” He was right. 3 What I ignored was that the great pressure I put on myself to do everything alone was blocking me from forming real and close connections, because in order to ask for help, you need to trust others and let them in. 4 But living a life where you don't give anyone a chance to be there for you is extremely lonely, and not the solution. Humans are sociable creatures. With our communities getting smaller and smaller, and our dependence on others becoming greater, it can be really easy to feel alone. 5 When you feel like no one cares, text someone who you love. The more you give them a roadmap on how to help you, the more they can. So feel free to ask someone for support, and it is so worth it. A．I felt the opposite. B．I used to be the same. C．He taught me to ask for what I want. D．It is often born out of a painful experience. E．Learning how to ask for help is rather hard. F．Letting people in gives them possibility to hurt you. G．The way we deal with this is by reaching out anyway. 11 Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one. Why is family important? What kind of impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as a grown-up? Here are four reasons why family is important: 1. Families set the stage for future relationships. The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings (兄弟姐妹). 1 It's often not a decision they are aware of, but people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to their family. 2. During hard times, people need a family they can depend on. 2 This can be emotional or financial (情感的或金钱的) support. Someone going through hard times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love. 3. Quality time with family is connected to better academic performance. Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who ate dinner with their family less than three times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. 3 Of course, there are other things at play, but families that value dinners together likely value other positive family communications. 4. 4 Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions and communicate with others. Parents are responsible for guiding their children and providing life lessons that will be remembered for years to come. 5 A．Families teach important life lessons. B．When life gets hard, people need support. C．When families are strong, communities are strong. D．These lessons form a big part of a person's worldview. E．Family relationships are connected to a person's health. F．These relationships provide a model for what future relationships will look like. G．On the other hand, kids who had family dinners 5-7 times a week did much better. 12 Anyone who has travelled with others can understand that choosing a right travel companion (同伴) is one of the most important considerations for an enjoyable holiday. We’ve all heard stories of friendship holidays that have gone wrong. When one person wants to get up early in the morning while the other prefers to sleep in until noon every day, when one person wants to separate but the other refuses. 1 Before finding out who might be a right travel companion, you have to first understand who you are as a traveller. 2 It shows where your wants and interests might fit with those of a potential (可能的) travel companion and where they might differ. Next, you have to ask your potential companion the right questions. The main purpose of these questions is to decide if you’ll be a right travel companion. 3 It’s important that you enjoy doing similar activities and work similar hours. Finally, get as much information as possible before you both decide to travel together. Set a time to meet and talk. 4 Make it clear that the goal is for you to decide whether or not to travel together. After that, look for compromises (折中方案). 5 Plan another meeting if necessary to go over the possibilities and fit them into your vacation. Staying in separate accommodations (住处), separating for short periods when your interests differ or deciding on “ground rules” are all possibilities. A．One way is to ask questions. B．The right person can make a vacation more fantastic. C．In situations where your travel styles differ, find other possibilities. D．Go out to lunch or spend a day exploring together if you live in the same area. E．These differences might cause regret, make a trip less enjoyable or end a friendship. F．Choose topics that are important to you and talk with your potential travel companion. G．Knowing your needs and travel style will help you in choosing a right travel companion. 13 City life and heavy dependence on digital (数字的) technology mean children are spending less time with nature, which can influence their mental (精神的) and physical health. This is how to connect children to nature in simple ways: 1 Let them observe the different plants in the house or the birds that come to visit. Get them to see the shape of the clouds, sunrise, sunset as well as the moon and stars. These simple tasks are possible and very enjoyable for young children. 2 They also enjoy the tactility (触感) of different shapes and textures (结构). Nature offers a rich treasure trove of discovery for them, which can be a wonderful way to begin to introduce them to nature. When outdoors, let them collect flowers or leaves from the ground, and observe their different shapes and textures. 3 Recognizing textures and shapes like this is also good for brain development. 4 Encourage them to observe the different colours and shapes of trees and point out birds, insects and small animals to them. Let them develop respect for all living things. Travel is a great way to get to know nature. Encourage visits to national parks, as opposed to only zoos. 5 Many cities have Butterfly Gardens and Nature Sanctuaries as well as Botanical Gardens, so do plan trips. Even on the beach, there are many things to observe like the colours of the sea and sky and small sea creatures. By doing small activities children learn better. A．Young children love to collect things. B．It will help sharpen their observation skills. C．It is the best way to show respect for nature. D．As they grow a bit older, take them for walks in parks. E．Developing their love for nature can make them happier. F．The former lets children observe animals in their natural environment. G．When at home, get young children to help you to water plants or feed birds. 14 City gardens are unique spots in busy cities. Who would not like to take a break from the busy life and visit these peaceful places full of life and colours? 1 They take care of the gardens and turn them into colourful places for all to enjoy. Gardens are reminders that we should slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature. 2 There, the wind hits gently on your face while carrying a refreshing fragrance(香味) of flowers. Sounds calm, right? The sound of nature calms the mind like the little bees humming or leaves whispering to each other in the mild wind. 3 It’s as if they’re telling softly stories of the earth’s wonders for those who care and love to listen to them. These places aren’t just pretty; they are a perfect place to hang out with your family or friends. They are like community centers where everyone is welcome to chat , play games, exercise, and do whatever their heart desires. 4 You can plant your own garden in the backyard and enjoy its quietness. It is scientifically proven that spending time around the greens can affect your mood(心情) positively and help you get mental peace. Everyone should visit city gardens monthly for a peaceful break. Whenever you’re feeling stressed, go to relax in nature. And when you do, don’t forget to give a nod to the gardening service teams. 5 A．They’re making it all possible. B．Imagine walking in a city garden. C．It’s like nature’s own conversation. D．That’s where gardeners are discovered. E．Gardening is nothing less than a treatment. F．What makes them even more special are the gardeners. G．It’s easy to keep these gardens good-looking and lively. 15 We often try to save money for a variety of different reasons. It might be to save up for a new computer or put money aside into a rainy-day fund. 1 But a recent study showed that over half of all 22- to 29-year-olds living in the UK have no savings at all. Did they max out their credit cards on too many things, or are there other factors? And how can we become better savers? First, put a stop to those impulse buys (冲动购物). 2 Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it’s costing you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing. 3 Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget (预算) you must stick to. Also, any change that comes from your transactions when you’re using cash can be put in a jar and deposited into your account. Finally, be disciplined. It’s not just about creating that budget. 4 You shouldn’t be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit. Successful savers stick to their plans and watch the money pile up. Just as the old saying goes: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” 5 A．It’s about sticking to it, too. B．Learning how to save is important. C．Ask about discounts and pay in cash. D．Sometimes, saving money can be difficult. E．Another way is to use cash rather than cards. F．Ask yourself if you really need to buy something. G．These are some steps we can take to help us become better savers. 参考答案 1．F 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何学习有效沟通的技巧。 1．根据上文“Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively?

They may not want to worry others. They may want to reach out for help but feel embarrassed (尴尬的).(他们可能不知道如何表达自己的感受。他们可能不想让别人担心。他们可能想寻求帮助，但又感到尴尬)”可知，作者在此处解释为什么朋友遇到烦心事后不会跟我们分享的理由，因此G项“There are many reasons why a friend might not be up front with you about what they’re going through.(有很多原因可以解释为什么一个朋友可能不会对你坦白他们正在经历的事情)”符合文意，承接上文，引出下文。故选G项。 2．本句为本段的主旨句。根据下文“You could start with something like, “You don’t seem like yourself lately. Maybe it’s just everything going on right now, but I wanted to see if we could sit down and catch up.” Choose a comfortable place where you can have a talk in relative privacy.(你可以这样开始，“你最近看起来不太像你自己。也许是现在发生的一切，但我想看看我们能不能坐下来叙叙旧。”选择一个舒适的地方，在那里你们可以相对私密地交谈)”可知，作者建议读者当朋友心情不好时可以约朋友小聚聊天，所以A项“Ask them to get together.(让他们聚在一起)”符合本段主题，为本段主旨句。故选A项。 3．根据上文“Choose a comfortable place where you can have a talk in relative privacy. You could offer to drink coffee or go for a walk in a park.(选择一个舒适的地方，在那里你们可以相对私密地交谈。你可以提议喝杯咖啡，或者去公园散步)”可知，作者建议读者和朋友小聚时要选择一个安静的地方，不要选择在喧闹的环境中沟通，空处承接上文，指出在喧闹的环境中沟通是不合适的，因此B项“A noisy environment is not the right choice.(嘈杂的环境不是正确的选择)”符合此处内容。B项中的A noisy environment与上文中的a comfortable place以及in relative privacy形成对比。故选B项。 4．根据下文“Put away your phone, make eye contact or, if that is too direct, put yourself in a way that shows you are fully there and ready to listen.(放下你的手机，进行眼神交流，或者，如果这太直接了，让自己表现出你完全在那里，准备好倾听)”可知，作者在此处建议读者与朋友交谈时要专心聆听朋友的倾诉，因此E项“Be sure to give them your full attention from the beginning.(一定要从一开始就给予他们充分的关注)”符合此处内容。E项中的give them your full attention与下文中的you are fully there相照应。故选E项。 5．根据上文“Really listen to them. Not only listen to details of their story, but also listen for the specific emotions they are sharing. The various events, exchanges and people that are involved (牵扯) in stressful situations matter.(真正地倾听他们。不仅要听他们故事的细节，还要听他们分享的具体情绪。各种各样的事件、交流和与压力有关的人都很重要)”可知，作者认为在聆听好友的倾诉时，我们应该更加关注好友的情绪，因此C项“But what’s most important is how they feel.(但最重要的是他们的感受)”符合此处内容。C项中的But与上文中的The various events, exchanges and people that are involved in stressful situations matter在内容上形成转折，同时C项中的how they feel与上文中的the specific emotions they are sharing和下文中的their emotions相照应。故选C项。 1．A 2．D 3．C 4．E 5．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了动物园的利弊。 1．根据上文“The most important reason why zoos should be kept open is that they can prevent the extinction (灭绝) of certain animals.(动物园应该保持开放的最重要的原因是它们可以防止某些动物的灭绝。)”和下文“Now, in the 21st century, cages (笼子) are being improved to suit the animal’s needs.(现在，在21世纪，笼子正在被改进以适应动物的需要。)”可知，动物园可以避免一些动物灭绝，并且现在动物园的设施也在不断改进以满足动物们的需要，因此动物园可以有效地保护动物。A项：All animals in zoos can be protected easily.(动物园里的所有动物都很容易受到保护。)符合语境。故选A。 2．根据下文“Some people say that you can learn about animals on TV and the Internet.(有些人说你可以在电视和互联网上了解动物。)”可知，此处主要强调动物园的教育意义。下文中的“see their interactions with others”和“feel their skin”与D项中的“teach humans more about animals”相照应。D项：What’s more, zoos can teach humans more about animals.(此外，动物园可以教会人类更多关于动物的知识。)符合语境。故选D。 3．根据上文“However, one argument against zoos being kept open is that living in one cage can bore an animal.

They can only meet other animals in their cage so cannot socialize(他们无法体验到在野外自由漫步的感觉。它们只能和笼子里的其他动物见面，所以不能社交)”可知，被关在动物园里的动物失去了在野外生活和正常社交的机会，因此这些动物并不会在野外生存。E项中的Besides与上文内容构成递进关系，共同说明动物园对动物造成的不利影响。E项：Besides, animals in zoos do not learn how to live properly in the wild.(此外，动物园里的动物没有学会如何在野外正确地生活。)符合语境。故选E。 5．作者在本段分享自己对动物园的看法。根据下文中的“They do more good than harm. They can keep animals healthy, feed them when they need food and stop their extinction.

Being so used to being very over-independent at that point, I said he didn't need to worry.”（一天，我刚从一个葬礼上回来，一个朋友打电话问我怎么样了。在那一点上，我已经习惯了非常独立，我说他不需要担心）可知，作者举了一个自己的例子说明作者也是过度独立的。故B选项“我过去也是这样的”切题，承接下文。故选B项。 3．根据上文“Hours later, he turned up at my door simply saying, “I thought you might want a hug.” He was right.”（几个小时后，他出现在我门口，只是说:“我想你可能想要一个拥抱。”他是对的）可知，朋友的安慰实现上教会了作者要要自己想要的，不用太过度独立，也需要别人的安慰和理解。故C选项“他教我要要自己想要的”符合语境。故选C项。 4．根据上文“What I ignored was that the great pressure I put on myself to do everything alone was blocking me from forming real and close connections, because in order to ask for help, you need to trust others and let them in.”（我忽略的是，我给自己施加了巨大的压力，让自己一个人做每件事，这阻碍了我建立真正的、亲密的联系，因为为了寻求帮助，你需要信任别人，让他们进入你的生活。）可知，选项承接上文说明让别人进入你的生活带来的不良影响。故F选项“让别人进如你的生活带来他们伤害你的可能性”切题。故选F项。 5．根据上文“With our communities getting smaller and smaller, and our dependence on others becoming greater, it can be really easy to feel alone.”（随着我们的社区越来越小，我们对他人的依赖越来越大，我们很容易感到孤独。）根据下文“When you feel like no one cares, text someone who you love.”（当你觉得没人在乎的时候，给你爱的人发短信。）可知，选项承接上下文说明感到孤独时应该怎么办。reaching out呼应text someone who you love。故 G 选 项“我们处理这件事的方法就是寻求帮助”切题。故选G项。 1．F 2．B 3．G 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是说明文。文章阐述了家庭的重要性。 1．上文“The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings(孩子的第一个关系是与他们的父母和任何兄弟姐妹)”指出和家庭成员之间的关系是一个孩子最开始拥有的人际关系，F项“这些关系为未来的关系提供了一个模型”与该句为顺承关系，是对该句的进一步解释说明。F项中的relationships与上文中的relationships是原词复现关系。故选F。 2．下文“This can be emotional or financial (情感的或金钱的) support.(这可以是情感上的或经济上的支持)”是对B项中support的具体解释，同时B项中的support与下文中的support为原词复现关系。B选项“当生活变得艰难时，人们需要支持”符合语境。故选B。 3．根据上文“Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time.

Parents are responsible for guiding their children and providing life lessons that will be remembered for years to come.(家庭是孩子们学习如何管理自己的情绪和与他人沟通的第一个地方。父母有责任引导他们的孩子，为他们提供终身难忘的人生课程)”可知，本部分指出家庭在青少年成长的过程中会教会他们管理自己的情绪，告诉他们如何与人交流。家长们要尝试引导孩子，告诉他们人生哲理。因此A项“家庭教给我们重要的人生课程”可以概括本部分内容。同时本部分中的life lessons与A项中的life lessons为原词复现关系。故选A。 5．上文“Parents are responsible for guiding their children and providing life lessons that will be remembered for years to come.(父母有责任引导他们的孩子，为他们提供终身难忘的人生课程)”指出父母有责任引导孩子，告诉他们人生哲理。D项“这些课程构成了一个人世界观的很大一部分”与该句为顺承关系，指出了这些人生哲理的重要性。D项中的These lessons指代上文中的life lessons that will be remembered for years to come。故选D。 1．E 2．G 3．F 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是说明文。文章就如何选择合适的旅行同伴给出几点方法。 1．本空前“Anyone who has travelled with others can understand that choosing a right travel companion (同伴) is one of the most important considerations for an enjoyable holiday.
