专题07 七选五 （23-24高二上·北京房山·期中）Color is fundamental in home design — something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 1 Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 2 But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. 3 They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 4 They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. 5 So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time. A．While all of them are useful, they can get a little complex. B．Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with. C．It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces. D．When looking for room color ideas, start by embracing color theory. E．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways. F．Whatever you’re looking for, color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel. G．Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are important. （23-24高二上·北京大兴·期中）Have you become really interested in self-improvement lately? This pursuit of more and better things, whether they be better health, clothes, or money has been normalized, but sometimes to the detriment of people’s wellbeing. This self-improvement mindset can make you feel disempowered, like you should be someone else. Here are five time-wasting self-improvement habits that are harmful to you. Extremely high and unrealistic expectations Having goals can be very helpful since it can help give you something to work towards and place your energy into. 6 This is a harmful habit because you’re not focused on yourself and your enjoyment of life, but on achieving other people’s ideals. Remember, you don’t have to be perfect, you just need to be yourself. The quick culture mentality The idea about how you must never give up or that you must constantly hustle, even at the expense of your health can be very damaging to your wellbeing. Sometimes, things just don’t work out and you need to give up, but that’s not a bad thing. 7 As much as there are people who have support themselves and others by working long hours, constantly hustling without taking any breaks for yourself to get your bearings may only lead to burnout. Putting aesthetics (审美) over health Social media can be a tool to help you change your life for the better, it can also mislead how you see yourself and others. 8 Women are implored to get dangerous, unnecessary cosmetic surgery and men are told to be jacked and in the gym by any means for those gains, but our bodies are not trends that we should be ashamed of. Information without application Like many others, you may decide to apply the self-improvement information once you finished reading all of it, but there are so many books about it and new ones keeps coming out. 9 As powerful as knowledge is, applied knowledge is the best kind. Don’t be afraid to apply what you’ve learnt into the world. Visualizations without action Perhaps you see yourself as a painter, or you wish you’d have a big house. Visualizing the life you want and putting it out there can be a great way to get yourself motivated. However, this can become an issue when you only put it out there and dream about it with nothing in between to bridge the gap. 10 Remember that you have to actually do it to get there. A．It can be heartbreaking and tough, but it may be necessary. B．It will be too bad if you fail to keep your momentum and work on. C．You need to create great expectations in order to drive yourself forward. D．If it lacks the structure and action, all you dreamt about is only a dream. E．However, you might create wild expectations which are too much for yourself. F．Instead of promoting healthy lifestyles, it advertises certain body types as desirable. G．All of these how-to’s can be helpful, but they are useless if you don’t actually use them. （22-23高二上·北京·期中）Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. 11 In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. 12 Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works. 13 Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. 14 but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. 15 Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. A．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. B．We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this gloomy situation. C．We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. D．Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions. E．The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. F．What's more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks. G．In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. （23-24高二上·北京房山·期中）Everyone complains. Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world, you still complain sometimes. Sometimes you complain without even realizing it, but rarely is it ever helpful. 16 Here are some tips to stop complaining and give up the negative thoughts. 17 When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone, stop and force yourself to say something positive instead. Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation. Make a list of things you are grateful for. You often complain about the things you don’t have without noticing those things you already have. Be grateful for what you have in your life because you are lucky simply for being yourselves. 18 Learn to adapt to the changes. There are many things you can’t change. 19 Always find the positive side of each situation, regardless of however difficult the situation is. With parents’ and friends’ support, you can survive any life changes. Allow yourself to vent (发泄) your feelings every once in a while. Constantly ignoring negative thoughts could add up. If you are really going through a rough time, don’t be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family member or see a therapist. Find what makes you happy. 20 Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on to another job or career. Uncover what your biggest complaints are about and see if you can change the situation to make you happy. Choose happiness, focus on the positive, and be kind always! A．Sometimes this list can be easy, full of hobbies you enjoy. B．The best and only thing you can do is to accept them. C．Change the way you think. D．Are you constantly complaining about your present job? E．Set down things you are thankful for and you’ll see that you don’t have any reason to complain. F．Make friends with positive people. G．So how can you manage to force yourselves to end complaining? （23-24高二上·北京·期中）There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers. Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. 21 The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer. Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today 22 When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead. Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. 23 Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. 24 Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system? 25 Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another. A．Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health. B．You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps. C．It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family. D．The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change. E．People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves. F．If you’re not sure what will work, ask. G．Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs. （23-24高二上·北京·期中）Tornadoes Tornadoes are essentially funnels of air rotating as fast as 300 miles per hour. Of course, not all tornadoes are so dangerous. 26 Such small tornadoes occur in many places around the world, even in southern Taiwan, where several are usually reported every spring. It is, however, the big tornadoes that receive the most attention. 27 There can be flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees. In a 1999 US storm, violent winds from one tornado lifted a church into the air and dropped it onto a house. In the same storm, a baby was whipped from its mother’s arms and, miraculously, found alive in a nearby tree. 28 Although scientists now know a great deal about tornadoes, they still cannot determine exactly when and where one will form. In addition, the path of a tornado can also be impossible to predict. It is unlikely to move in a straight line, and will often turn quickly. A tornado might blow down a line of houses, then suddenly lift up and leave one home unhurt, then touch back down and destroy the rest of the line. To better understand tornadoes, scientists have developed special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-monitoring equipment that allow them to make close-up observations of these dangerous storms. Radar equipment is put on trucks and driven near a tornado, where it records wind speeds and other weather data. 29 In addition, better communication and warning systems are also helping to reduce deaths and injuries in many tornado-prone areas. Radio and television warnings as well as sirens help to alert people to potential danger. Public awareness is also important. When tornadoes do occur, people must act quickly. They should move immediately to a safe place such as a basement or under a strong stairway and cover themselves with blankets or heavy coats. 30 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado — a job that can be quite dangerous! （21-22高二上·北京朝阳·期中）It had been a hard week for Jack. His parents had to cancel the family’s spring vacation to Disney World. 31 And he studied the wrong chapter for his science test. Jack pressed the play button on his CD player. As his favorite song played, Jack thought about the coming weekend. After a few minutes, he called to his sister in the next room. “Hey, how about playing basketball?” 32 The right song can make you smile and feel like getting up and dancing. It can also calm you down when you’re worried. Besides changing how you feel, music may help make your brain work better. 33 It may be because peopled bodies have natural rhythms, such as a heartbeat and pulse. Different kinds of music can affect you in different ways. Changing your mood can be as easy as pressing the “play” button. Soft music with long, gentle notes is what many people play to relax. If you want to relax, try listening to nature sounds. 34 Maybe just hearing a single voice soothes you. At an exhibit in New York City, visitors can lie down on the city’s latest futon bed. They close their eyes, put on headphones, and listen to soft music, relaxing themselves. Music can do more than just help them relax. Playing music while studying helps keep your brain in shape. When you listen to a sound, it travels from the ear to the brain by electrical signal and it involves learning, memory, and emotions. Experts suggest playing slow music to help you concentrate while you study. It may even improve your memory. 35 For example, if you’re reading a beautiful poem, playing light music may help you understand it better. No matter what style of music you like, you can use it to help you. The right music can add to a good mood or turn around a bad day. Just ask Jack. After listening to his favorite song, he put his tough week behind him and played a great game of basketball with his sister. A．Why does music have these powers? B．It may help make people healthy again. C．His basketball team lost an important game. D．Why can music help you stay longer in a place? E．Or look for music with a single instrument you like. F．So try to match the type of music to the type of learning. G．Music can be just what you need when you’re feeling down. （21-22高二上·北京丰台·期中）A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. 36 Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. 37 Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. 38 The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. 39 In one study, a student who knew the correct answer to a question actually gave the wrong answer because all the others in the class gave the wrong answer and he didn't want to be different. That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. 40 Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better. A．Peers can have a good effect on one another. B．Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers. C．Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble. D．Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. E．Maybe one kid in school tried to get another to cut class with him. F．It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. G．Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. （20-21高二上·北京·期中）Neighbors are the people who live near us. They directly affect the social environment we live in. Therefore it is important for us to get closely know our neighbors to feel comfort about our lives. 41 I think there are several qualities that people who live near to us should contain； respectful， helpful and dependable. To begin with respectful， neighbors should always be respectful and maintain the loyalty between each other and having a good reputation among society. 42 For example， our neighbors should not be noisy because in my family there are many students and they need a quiet atmosphere in order to studying and concentrate on their fields. Moreover they have to avoid of interfering and spying on each other and respect privacy in their lives. 43 For instance， one day I remember a fire was happened in our kitchen. Which that was almost could cause a great dangerous but our next door called the firemen， and also until they arrived to the house they helped us on controlling the fire， which fortunately with their help nothing tragedy happened to our house. Another aspect of preferable neighbors is to be reliable and trustworthy. 44 And also you may not be worried about any bad events that may happen to you such as if a burglar wants to attempt your house when he found out that you are not at home， the vigilant neighbors immediately call the police and guide your house not to be stolen. In conclusion， the these above are vital characteristics of good neighbors. Neighbors will not cause inconvenience to others， be tolerant， cooperatives and dependable in the local community life. 45 A．When will a good neighbor offer his help to you? B．What are the qualities of a good neighbor in your mind? C．He won't teach your children what to do instead of you. D．In addition， they should be helpful and supportive at any time.

Gaining a richer and deeper understanding of psychology can help people achieve insights into their own actions as well as a better understanding of other people. 46 One important benefit from a psychology major is that it teaches the student about the human mind and why people act in various manners. Not all psychology majors will become psychologists. 47 All people must interact with others whether it is at home or at a workplace. People respond to these interactions in a wide number of ways. For instance, the person may not know why he or she is bothered by a specific action at work. However, the person who has studied psychology has an obvious advantage in this area. Psychology also offers the individual insight into himself or herself. As the person learns about the human mind, how it works and why people behave in specific manners, the person may also begin to recognize both harmful and helpful thought patterns in himself or herself. This may lead the person to an increased level of self-awareness. 48 It also shows the person where he or she possesses strength and crucial skills for the modern world. Individuals who are more self-aware are more likely to accomplish their goals and dreams. 49 A person may enter a vast field where psychologists and those trained in psychology work. These areas include industrial psychology, school psychology, private practice, organizational behavioral fields, law enforcement and virtually every other field. 50 As stated, there are a number of career opportunities from which a psychology major may choose. A．Self-awareness is a vital skill for any person to have. B．It shows the individual what areas the person needs to strengthen. C．As a result, psychology becomes an incredibly popular college major. D．A psychology major examines the science of human behavior and mental processes. E．All fields have the opportunity to benefit from the guidance that psychology can offer. F．The third reason why psychology is a useful major is that it opens up a wide range of career opportunities. G．However, all psychology majors will develop an increased awareness about human behavior and thought patterns. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题07 七选五 （23-24高二上·北京房山·期中）Color is fundamental in home design — something you’ll always have in every room.

(和其他很多人一样，你可能会在读完所有的书后决定应用这些自我提升的信息，但是关于这方面的书太多了，而且新的书还在不断涌现。)”可知，下面要说跟“书中自我提升的信息”有关的话题，由后文“As powerful as knowledge is, applied knowledge is the best kind.  Don’t be afraid to apply what you’ve learnt into the world. (知识固然强大，但应用知识是最好的知识。不要害怕把你学到的东西应用到这个世界上。)”可知，本句要表达书中自我提升的信息有用，但是要注重应用。故G选项“All of these how-to’s can be helpful, but they are useless if you don’t actually use them. (所有这些操作方法都是有用的，但如果你没有真正使用它们，它们就毫无用处。)”能承上启下，符合题意。G项中的“use”与空后的“applied”相对应。故选G。 10．由上文“However, this can become an issue when you only put it out there and dream about it with nothing in between to bridge the gap. (然而，当你只是把它放在那里，梦想着它，没有任何中间的桥梁时，这就会成为一个问题。)”可知，下面要说跟“梦想”有关的话题。故D选项“If it lacks the structure and action, all you dreamt about is only a dream. (如果它缺乏结构和动作，那么你所梦想的只是一场梦。)”能承接上文，符合题意。D项中的“dreamt”与空前的“dream”相对应。故选D。 （22-23高二上·北京·期中）Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. 11 In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. 12 Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works. 13 Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. 14 but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. 15 Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. A．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. B．We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this gloomy situation. C．We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. D．Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions. E．The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. F．What's more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks. G．In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. 【答案】11．C 12．E 13．A 14．D 15．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕失败、疲劳和成功的关系展开论述，以亲身经历为例提出措施如何解决启动疲劳和执行疲劳。 11．根据上文“There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.(没有什么比不成功更累的了)”和下文“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult.(在前一种情况下，我们总是推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难)”可知，空格处应总的指出疲惫感分为两种情况，引出下文。选项C“We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.(我们以两种方式体验这种疲劳：启动疲劳和执行疲劳)”指出了两种疲劳，符合语境。故选C项。 12．根据下文“And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.(我每天的工作都是从写作这项艰巨的任务开始的。经验证明这条规则是有效的)”推知，前文应该指出了作者所说的规则是什么。选项E“The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.(解决方案很明显，但可能不容易应用：总是先处理最困难的工作)”恰好提出了一个规则，即先处理最困难的事，符合语境。故选E项。 13．下文“Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right.(尽管我们愿意开始工作，但我们似乎不能把工作做好)”指出我们愿意开始工作，即没有启动疲劳，可知本段开始讨论第二种疲劳：执行疲劳。选项A“Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.(执行疲劳更难处理)”符合语境。故选A项。 14．根据下文“but none of them worked.(但是没有一个奏效)”可知空格处应该指出作者尝试了很多办法，都没有成功。选项D“Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.(以前从来没有这样做过，我日复一日地不断提出解决方案)”表明作者反复提出了许多解决措施，符合语境。故选D项。 15．根据上文“An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.(一个小时后，我突然醒来，脑海中清晰地浮现出解决方案)”和下文“Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.(虽然我和以前一样努力工作，但我并不感到疲劳)”推知，作者的方案是凑效的，因此他才没有觉得累。选项G“In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.(在接下来的几周里，我潜意识中想到的解决方案在每一步都被证明是正确的)”符合语境。故选G项。 （23-24高二上·北京房山·期中）Everyone complains. Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world, you still complain sometimes. Sometimes you complain without even realizing it, but rarely is it ever helpful. 16 Here are some tips to stop complaining and give up the negative thoughts. 17 When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone, stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.

There are many things you can’t change. 19 Always find the positive side of each situation, regardless of however difficult the situation is. With parents’ and friends’ support, you can survive any life changes. Allow yourself to vent (发泄) your feelings every once in a while. Constantly ignoring negative thoughts could add up. If you are really going through a rough time, don’t be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family member or see a therapist.

The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers. Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. 21 The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer. Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today 22 When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead. Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. 23 Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. 24 Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system? 25 Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another. A．Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health. B．You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps. C．It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family. D．The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change. E．People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves. F．If you’re not sure what will work, ask. G．Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs. 【答案】21．G 22．A 23．B 24．D 25．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何提高家庭和谐的重要性，以及如何通过情商来实现这一目标。 21．根据前文“And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. (这就是为什么情商(EQ)能成功，而其他家庭和谐的努力却失败了。)”可知，此处强调的是情商能够有助于家庭和谐。后文应该对此进行解释。G选项“Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.(积极的意识和同理心告诉我们如何回应彼此的需求。)”中的“积极的意识和同理心”能够告诉我们如何回应家庭成员的需求，其属于EQ的具体体现，因此EQ能够有助于家庭和谐，与前文呼应。故选G。 22．根据前文“Look to yourself first. (先看看你自己)”可知，此处强调的是从自己着手，不要把今天自己的样子归咎于原生家庭。A选项“Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.(解决家庭问题的最大希望是关注自己的情绪健康。)”中“关注自己的情绪健康”与前文呼应，即关注自己的情绪问题是能够解决家庭问题的最大希望。故选A。 23．根据本段段旨“Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones.(认识到亲密并不意味着克隆人。)”以及“You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. (即使你和你的兄弟姐妹长得很像，你也不能指望拥有和他们一样的才能。)”可知，虽然与兄弟姐妹有着亲密的关系，但不意味着你们是一样的。B选项“You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.( 你并不一定会选择追随父母的脚步。)”承接前文指出，虽然家人们是亲密的，但是不一定会有着同样的才能，也不一定会选择追随亲人的脚步，故B选项符合语境。故选B。 24．根据后文“ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities.(接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧，但运用你的情感意识和同理心，想想如何珍惜这一刻，因为它的独特品质。)”可知要学会接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧，运用情感意识和同理心珍惜当下的一刻。D选项“The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.(从情感上接受这个事实的最好方式，就是拥抱改变。)”引起下文，指出最好的方式就是要接受改变，与下文的“ Accept the natural fear”形成呼应，符合语境。故选D。 25．根据下文“Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past.(充分接受自己对变化的恐惧可能会让你更容易提出过去可能认为尴尬的问题。)”可知，此处强调接受变化的恐惧，能够让自己更能大胆地提出问题即强调大胆的提出问题，确定到底何种方式起作用。F选项“If you’re not sure what will work, ask.(如果你不确定什么会起作用，那就去问。)”与下文呼应，指出如果遇到不确定什么起作用则大胆询问，符合语境。故选F。 （23-24高二上·北京·期中）Tornadoes Tornadoes are essentially funnels of air rotating as fast as 300 miles per hour. Of course, not all tornadoes are so dangerous. 26 Such small tornadoes occur in many places around the world, even in southern Taiwan, where several are usually reported every spring. It is, however, the big tornadoes that receive the most attention. 27 There can be flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees. In a 1999 US storm, violent winds from one tornado lifted a church into the air and dropped it onto a house. In the same storm, a baby was whipped from its mother’s arms and, miraculously, found alive in a nearby tree. 28 Although scientists now know a great deal about tornadoes, they still cannot determine exactly when and where one will form. In addition, the path of a tornado can also be impossible to predict. It is unlikely to move in a straight line, and will often turn quickly. A tornado might blow down a line of houses, then suddenly lift up and leave one home unhurt, then touch back down and destroy the rest of the line. To better understand tornadoes, scientists have developed special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-monitoring equipment that allow them to make close-up observations of these dangerous storms. Radar equipment is put on trucks and driven near a tornado, where it records wind speeds and other weather data. 29 In addition, better communication and warning systems are also helping to reduce deaths and injuries in many tornado-prone areas. Radio and television warnings as well as sirens help to alert people to potential danger. Public awareness is also important. When tornadoes do occur, people must act quickly. They should move immediately to a safe place such as a basement or under a strong stairway and cover themselves with blankets or heavy coats. 30 A．Either big storms or small ones can form quickly causing damage to some degree. B．These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena. C．Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage. D．A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. E．Driving the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado is a best job that can be quite dangerous. F．What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature. G．Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado — a job that can be quite dangerous! 【答案】26．C 27．B 28．F 29．G 30．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了龙卷风的形成及其特点等相关信息。 26．根据下文“Such small tornadoes occur in many places around the world, even in southern Taiwan, where several are usually reported every spring.(这种小型龙卷风在世界上许多地方都有发生，甚至在台湾南部，每年春天都会有几个龙卷风)”可知，此处应该提到了一些小型龙卷风。由此可知，C. Many more are small storms that form quickly and disappear, causing little or no damage.(更多的是迅速形成并消失的小风暴，造成很少或没有损害)能够衔接下文，符合语境。故选C。 27．根据上文“It is, however, the big tornadoes that receive the most attention.(然而，最受关注的是大型龙卷风)”及下文“There can be flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees.(可能会有成群的死鸟从天上掉下来，鸡还活着，但羽毛都掉光了，稻草片卡在树上)”和常识可知，大型龙卷风会造成死亡和破坏，从而备受关注，还会造成一些奇怪的现象。由此可知，B. These bring not only death and destruction, but also stories of strange phenomena.(这些不仅带来了死亡和破坏，还带来了奇怪现象的故事)能够承上启下，符合语境，下文“成群的死鸟从天上掉下来，鸡还活着，但羽毛都掉光了，稻草片卡在树上”就是一些奇怪的现象。故选B。 28．根据下文“Although scientists now know a great deal about tornadoes, they still cannot determine exactly when and where one will form. In addition, the path of a tornado can also be impossible to predict.(尽管科学家们现在对龙卷风了解很多，但他们仍然不能确定龙卷风形成的确切时间和地点。此外，龙卷风的路径也可能无法预测)”可知，人们仍然不能确定龙卷风形成的确切时间和地点，龙卷风的路径也可能无法预测，所以龙卷风的到来是出人意料的。由此可知，F. What makes tornadoes so dangerous is not just their great power but also their unpredictable nature.(龙卷风之所以如此危险，不仅是因为它的威力巨大，还因为它的不可预测性)能够衔接下文，符合语境。故选F。 29．根据上文“To better understand tornadoes, scientists have developed special heavy-duty vehicles and weather-monitoring equipment that allow them to make close-up observations of these dangerous storms. Radar equipment is put on trucks and driven near a tornado, where it records wind speeds and other weather data. (为了更好地了解龙卷风，科学家们开发了特殊的重型车辆和天气监测设备，使他们能够近距离观察这些危险的风暴。雷达设备装在卡车上，在龙卷风附近行驶，在那里记录风速和其他天气数据)”可知，科学家们驾驶带有雷达设备的卡车，追踪龙卷风、记录数据。由此可知，G. Scientists often have to drive the radar hundreds of miles to chase down a tornado — a job that can be quite dangerous!(科学家们经常不得不驾驶雷达数百英里去追踪龙卷风——这是一项相当危险的工作！)能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选G。 30．根据上文“In addition, better communication and warning systems are also helping to reduce deaths and injuries in many tornado-prone areas. Radio and television warnings as well as sirens help to alert people to potential danger. Public awareness is also important. When tornadoes do occur, people must act quickly. They should move immediately to a safe place such as a basement or under a strong stairway and cover themselves with blankets or heavy coats.(此外，更好的通信和预警系统也有助于减少许多龙卷风易发地区的伤亡。广播和电视警报以及警笛有助于提醒人们注意潜在的危险。公众意识也很重要。当龙卷风发生时，人们必须迅速采取行动。他们应该立即转移到安全的地方，如地下室或坚固的楼梯下，并用毯子或厚外套盖住自己)”可知，上文讲到了对龙卷风预防和防范；由此推知，此处是对上文采取措施的原因陈述，也是对全文的总结。由此可知，A tornado can arrive so unexpectedly that a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death.(龙卷风的到来非常出人意料，几秒钟的时间就意味着生与死的差别)能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选D。 （21-22高二上·北京朝阳·期中）It had been a hard week for Jack. His parents had to cancel the family’s spring vacation to Disney World. 31 And he studied the wrong chapter for his science test. Jack pressed the play button on his CD player. As his favorite song played, Jack thought about the coming weekend. After a few minutes, he called to his sister in the next room. “Hey, how about playing basketball?” 32 The right song can make you smile and feel like getting up and dancing. It can also calm you down when you’re worried. Besides changing how you feel, music may help make your brain work better. 33 It may be because peopled bodies have natural rhythms, such as a heartbeat and pulse. Different kinds of music can affect you in different ways. Changing your mood can be as easy as pressing the “play” button. Soft music with long, gentle notes is what many people play to relax. If you want to relax, try listening to nature sounds. 34 Maybe just hearing a single voice soothes you. At an exhibit in New York City, visitors can lie down on the city’s latest futon bed. They close their eyes, put on headphones, and listen to soft music, relaxing themselves. Music can do more than just help them relax. Playing music while studying helps keep your brain in shape. When you listen to a sound, it travels from the ear to the brain by electrical signal and it involves learning, memory, and emotions. Experts suggest playing slow music to help you concentrate while you study. It may even improve your memory. 35 For example, if you’re reading a beautiful poem, playing light music may help you understand it better. No matter what style of music you like, you can use it to help you. The right music can add to a good mood or turn around a bad day. Just ask Jack. After listening to his favorite song, he put his tough week behind him and played a great game of basketball with his sister. A．Why does music have these powers? B．It may help make people healthy again. C．His basketball team lost an important game. D．Why can music help you stay longer in a place? E．Or look for music with a single instrument you like. F．So try to match the type of music to the type of learning. G．Music can be just what you need when you’re feeling down. 【答案】31．C 32．G 33．A 34．E 35．F 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论的音乐能改善心情的原因。 31．下文“And he studied the wrong chapter for his science test.(他为他的科学考试学习了错误的章节)”说明，他的父母取消了去迪士尼度假的计划，是因为他的足球队输了比赛且要为科学考试学习，与选项C. His basketball team lost an important game.(他的足球队输了一场重要的比赛)相一致，都是取消度假的原因。故选C。 32．下文“The right song can make you smile and feel like getting up and dancing.(合适的歌曲可以让你微笑，感觉像起床跳舞)”说明，对的歌曲会使你好起来。与选项G. Music can be just what you need when you’re feeling down.(音乐是当你心情低落时你需要的)相一致。故选G。 33．上文“It may be because people's bodies have natural rhythms, such as a heartbeat and pulse.(可能是因为人的身体有自然的节律，比如心跳和脉搏)”说明，这或许是因为人们有天生的旋律感，与选项A. Why does music have these powers?(为什么音乐有这种力量？)相一致，且A选项中“these powers”指代上文“music may help make your brain work better (音乐可能有助于让你的大脑更好地工作)”。故选A。 34．上文“If you want to relax, try listening to nature sounds.(如果你想放松，试着听听大自然的声音)”说明，如果你想放松，尝试听自然的声音。与选项E. Or look for music with a single instrument you like.(或用一个你喜欢的乐器来寻找音乐)相一致，且E选项中“a single instrument”和下文“Maybe just hearing a single voice soothes you(也许只听到一个声音就能抚慰你)”相一致。故选E。 35．下文“For example, if you're reading a beautiful poem, playing light music may help you understand it better.(例如，如果你正在阅读一首优美的诗歌，播放轻音乐可能会帮助您更好地理解它)”说明，不同的音乐有不同的作用。与选项F. So try to match the type of music to the type of learning.(所以尽力把音乐和学习的类型结合起来)相一致。故选F。 （21-22高二上·北京丰台·期中）A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. 36 Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. 37 Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. 38 The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. 39 In one study, a student who knew the correct answer to a question actually gave the wrong answer because all the others in the class gave the wrong answer and he didn't want to be different. That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. 40 Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better. A．Peers can have a good effect on one another. B．Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers. C．Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble. D．Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. E．Maybe one kid in school tried to get another to cut class with him. F．It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. G．Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. 【答案】36．A 37．E 38．G 39．D 40．F 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了同龄人的压力所带来的正负面影响，以及在某些情况下该如何应对这种压力，作者就此提出了自己的看法。 36．上文第一段第二句“Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.（不管你是否意识到，同龄人仅仅通过花时间和你在一起，就会影响你的生活。）”以及根据下文第二段第一句“Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system.（也许你科学课上的另一个学生教了你一个简单的方法来记住太阳系的行星。）”和最后一句“Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.（也许附近有个孩子想让你和他一起偷东西。）”可知，同龄人之间可以相互影响的，同龄人之间既有好的影响，也有不良的影响。而前半部分说的是好的效果。A项“同伴可以互相产生良好的效果。”符合题意。故选A项。 37．上文“However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way.（然而，有时同龄人会以另一种方式影响彼此。）”及下文“Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.（也许附近有个孩子想让你和他一起偷东西。）”可知，是不好的影响。再根据下句的句式，只是一种推测， E项“也许学校里有个孩子想找个同学和他一起逃课。”符合题意，故选E项。 38．下文“The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.（“每个人都在这么做”的想法可能会影响一些孩子，让他们放弃更好的判断或常识。）”可知，有些孩子屈服于同龄人的压力，因为他们想被人喜欢、适应，或者因为担心其他孩子会不喜欢他们，就会取笑他们， G项“其他人可能会一起做，因为他们很好奇尝试其他人正在做的新事物。”符合语境，与下文相承接。故选G项。 39．下文“In one study, a student who knew the correct answer to a question actually gave the wrong answer because all the others in the class gave the wrong answer and he didn't want to be different.

Gaining a richer and deeper understanding of psychology can help people achieve insights into their own actions as well as a better understanding of other people. 46 One important benefit from a psychology major is that it teaches the student about the human mind and why people act in various manners. Not all psychology majors will become psychologists. 47 All people must interact with others whether it is at home or at a workplace. People respond to these interactions in a wide number of ways. For instance, the person may not know why he or she is bothered by a specific action at work. However, the person who has studied psychology has an obvious advantage in this area. Psychology also offers the individual insight into himself or herself. As the person learns about the human mind, how it works and why people behave in specific manners, the person may also begin to recognize both harmful and helpful thought patterns in himself or herself. This may lead the person to an increased level of self-awareness. 48 It also shows the person where he or she possesses strength and crucial skills for the modern world. Individuals who are more self-aware are more likely to accomplish their goals and dreams. 49 A person may enter a vast field where psychologists and those trained in psychology work.
