That means that beauty is subjective, and what one person finds beautiful can be very different from what someone else finds beautiful. Rather than concentrating on outer beauty, though, we should instead be focused on inner beauty. 1 Our genes directly influence our physical characteristics.

Don’t believe us? Just give it some thought. 3 You might move towards individuals who are kind, generous, and thoughtful, all of which are qualities of inner beauty. 4 Think about how you treat others.

With adults spending so much time on it, little wonder that kids too spend more time in front of the television than outdoors. With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a “babysitter”. 1 However, most parents would rethink their strategy if they are aware of the side effects of over exposure to the television. Children watch on an average around 28 hours of television per week. 2 By the age of eight, aggression (好斗性，侵略) becomes so rooted in a child that it predicts adult aggression. Besides, it has been found that children who spend a lot of time in front of the television do poorly in school. 3 Consequently their social development will be affected. 4 So it’s almost impossible to completely ban it from our children’s life. However, as parents we could: ·Get children interested in sports. ·Encourage children to cultivate the reading habit. ·Set a good example by limiting our own television viewing. ·Help children develop other hobbies such as building models and drawing. ·Choose the programs our children will watch, and stick to the schedule. Television eats up the time our children are not studying or sleeping.

Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd. has introduced its new product, Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat.

(相反，他们被神农架丰富的生物多样性和喀斯特地貌所吸引。)”说明真正吸引游客的是这里的生物和地貌，因此空处起到过渡作用，会说明游客遇不到野人。A项“They may not see any such creature.

The Dajiuhu Lake is surrounded by mountains, where a total of nine different lakes are connected by a flowing stream. (它位于神农架东南部，是中国中部最大、海拔最高的湿地。大九湖四面环山，其中共有九个不同的湖泊由一条流动的小溪连接起来。)”具体介绍大九湖这一景点，因此空处会过渡到大九湖景点。B项“Of them the most famous is the Dajiuhu Lake.

Today, we always do a lot of things to avoid boredom through games, music, phones, social media and so on. 1 It turns out that never being bored can actually hurt our creativity, while controlled boredom can be the best stimulation our mind needs. We all need to be creative. It is very important to our lives. 2 We can feel like there is just no way to solve a problem or fix a situation. Here is where boredom comes in. Being bored for a while is good for the brain and is proven to stimulate our creativity. When we are always entertained, the mind takes the path of least resistance. 13 However, we don’t have to trouble ourselves with boredom for a long time for this to work. 3 Putting our smart devices away is hugely important, as they can provide an easier way for our brain to have fun. 4 We should not try to perform creatively under a lot of stress and time restrictions, at least, not all the time. Relaxation can also promote creativity, because it’s easier to create something new when our ideas have time to grow. A．But is it such a good thing? B．We can’t stand being bored for long. C．However, we might often face blocks to creativity. D．Is relaxation helpful for us to achieve better results? E．Take a walk without our phones or sit down, not doing anything. F．Another important point related to boredom is giving ourselves time. G．But if there is no easy source of fun, our brains start working better. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．G 4．E 5．F 【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要是关于受控的无聊如何刺激创造力，以及为何给自己时间放松促进创造力的重要性。文章还讨论了持续的娱乐可能阻碍创造力发展，以及将智能设备放置一旁以便拥有无聊时间和创造性思维的重要性。 1．根据前文“Today, we always do a lot of things to avoid boredom through games, music, phones, social media and so on.(今天，我们总是通过游戏、音乐、手机、社交媒体等做很多事情来避免无聊)”以及后文“It turns out that never being bored can actually hurt our creativity, while controlled boredom can be the best stimulation our mind needs.(事实证明，从不感到无聊实际上会损害我们的创造力，而控制无聊可能是我们大脑需要的最佳刺激)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，由前文讲述避免无聊，到讲述从不感到无聊实际上有害，前后是转折，所以A项“But is it such a good thing?(但这真的是一件好事吗？)”符合文意，起到过渡作用。故选A项。 2．根据前文“We all need to be creative. It is very important to our lives.(我们都需要有创造力。它对我们的生活非常重要)”以及后文“We can feel like there is just no way to solve a problem or fix a situation. Here is where boredom comes in.(我们可能会觉得根本没有办法解决问题或解决问题。这就是无聊产生的原因)”可知，空处应是过渡句，前文讲创造力对我们的生活非常重要，空格处应该也讲述无聊产生的原因，所以C项“However, we might often face blocks to creativity.(然而，我们可能经常面临创造力的障碍)”符合文意，和前文构成转折关系，引出下文。故选C项。 3．根据前文“Being bored for a while is good for the brain and is proven to stimulate our creativity. When we are always entertained, the mind takes the path of least resistance.(无聊一段时间对大脑有好处，并被证明能激发我们的创造力。当我们总是愉快时，我们的思想会选择阻力最小的道路)”可知，空格处应该讲述无聊给我们带来的好处，G项“But if there is no easy source of fun, our brains start working better.(但如果没有简单的乐趣来源，我们的大脑就会开始更好地工作)”和前文构成转折关系，符合本段主题。故选G项。 4．根据前文“However, we don’t have to trouble ourselves with boredom for a long time for this to work.(然而，我们不需要因为无聊而困扰自己很长一段时间)”以及后文“Putting our smart devices away is hugely important, as they can provide an easier way for our brain to have fun.(把我们的智能设备收起来是非常重要的，因为它们可以为我们的大脑提供一种更容易的娱乐方式)”可知，此处讲述拥有无聊时间的方法，其中关键是放下手机，所以E项“Take a walk without our phones or sit down, not doing anything.(不带手机出去走走，或者坐下来，什么都不做)”符合文意，和下文构成顺承关系。故选E项。 5．分析设空，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“We should not try to perform creatively under a lot of stress and time restrictions, at least, not all the time. Relaxation can also promote creativity, because it’s easier to create something new when our ideas have time to grow.(我们不应该在很大的压力和时间限制下尝试创造性地表现，至少，不是所有的时间。放松也可以促进创造力，因为当我们的想法有时间成长时，更容易创造出新的东西)”可知，本段讲述了是给自己放松的时间，所以F项“Another important point related to boredom is giving ourselves time.(另一个与无聊有关的重要问题是给自己时间)”符合本段主题。故选F项。 （23-24高二上·江苏常州·期中）Advertisements are designed to persuade us, but which techniques are effective in talking us in to buy things? 1 Normalization can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement—where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. Beth, an assistant professor of marketing and advertisement, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious. 2 It seems that a subtle (不易察觉的) approach can be more persuasive. Appealing to our emotions is another strategy advertisers use. 3 Jannet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that for fear to be an effective tool, we need to believe: when fears are raised, people tend to take action to make a difference, like buying something. But when fears are exaggerated (夸大) or we feel helpless, we are likely to switch off. Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we will desire to be like them and buy the products they support. 4 The research that she mentions shows these ads can make people feel bad and put them off products. These studies say that seeing a more human side of people can lead us to believe them. 20 So, it seems that the best technique advertisers can use to persuade people is to fully understand the people they are selling to. A．Some of them use fear to persuade us. B．One way is simply to describe something as normal. C．Superstars are gradually losing their commercial value. D．We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something. E．However, a researcher in marketing points out this may not be the best strategy. F．A common technique to make an emotional impact is to create a memorable slogan. G．And endorsements (代言) from characters who admit their mistakes can be more believable. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．E 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有效的广告技巧，这些技巧能说服我们买东西。 1．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据本段“Normalization can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement—where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. (正常化会导致垃圾食品的销量增加，因为人们开始认为这些习惯是正常的。这就像植入式广告——在电视节目和电影中展示或提到产品。)”可知，在广告中自然呈现商品，表现得拥有这些商品很正常，会有利于商品售出。选项B“One way is simply to describe something as normal. (一种方法是简单地把某事描述为正常。)”与下文内容一致，指的都是将商品呈现得正常化。故选B。 2．根据空前“Beth, an assistant professor of marketing and advertisement, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious.

(传播学高级讲师珍妮特解释说，要使恐惧成为一种有效的工具，我们需要相信：当恐惧被唤起时，人们倾向于采取行动来改变，比如买东西。但是当恐惧被夸大或者我们感到无助时，我们很可能就会停止。)”可知，下文讲述的是有时候恐惧有时候会让我们购物。选项A“Some of them use fear to persuade us. (他们中的一些人用恐惧来说服我们。)”与下文内容一致，故选A。 4．根据空前“Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we will desire to be like them and buy the products they support .(广告中经常出现长相完美的人，因为营销人员相信我们会渴望像他们一样，购买他们支持的产品。)”可知，有时候广告中会出现长相完美的人，因为营销人员相信我们会渴望像他们一样，购买他们支持的产品。而空后“The research that she mentions shows these ads can make people feel bad and put them off products.

Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer?” 1 It also helps you remember the information that you write down. 2 Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter. Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen? 3 But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. 29 In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写). 4 So, keep writing! A．That makes things a lot easier. B．It just matters that you write by hand. C．Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right? D．What did your printing look like when you first started to write?

It is easy for parents and kids to get caught up in a game and become too focused on winning. Although winning is important, it is not always the most important aspect of the game. 2 Good sportsmanship is one of those life lessons that should be intentionally learned, taught and practiced. No matter how much we would like to, we cannot win at everything every time. 3 After a hard-fought game, the loser felt frustrated in a losing effort. It can be very difficult to look your opponents in the eye and tell them “good job”. But this is what is asked of athletes. How do we handle losing with dignity? 4 Almost nobody is willing to come second in a game, but only one can be champion. There is no need to be overcome with defeat. Instead, accept failure and face up to it bravely, believing failure is the mother of success. Recognize the winners and congratulate them. Winning is fun! It is the reward for your hard work. When we participate in a sport that keeps score, it is our responsibility to the team to do our best to win within the rules of the game and within the spirit of the game. 95 A．Keep losing in perspective.

Rather than concentrating on outer beauty, though, we should instead be focused on inner beauty. 1 Our genes directly influence our physical characteristics. We can try to change some things, but we can only do so much. Inner beauty, however, isn’t determined by what people can see with their eyes. 2 If you know an older adult who you believe is wise, he’ll tell you that inner beauty is true beauty, and that it’s the only kind of beauty that matters. Don’t believe us? Just give it some thought. 3 You might move towards individuals who are kind, generous, and thoughtful, all of which are qualities of inner beauty. 4 Think about how you treat others. Are you a good friend? Are there ways you can enrich your inner beauty? There are many things you can do to be beautiful on the inside. When it comes to interacting(交往)with others, be kind. Be positive. Be generous and thoughtful. 5 People want to see the real you. Finally, follow the golden rule—treat others as you wish to be treated—and others will be sure to see your inner beauty shine through! A．Focus on them and their needs. B．So are you beautiful on the inside? C．But more than anything: be yourself. D．What qualities do you look for in friends? E．Much of outer beauty is beyond our control.

With adults spending so much time on it, little wonder that kids too spend more time in front of the television than outdoors. With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a “babysitter”. 1 However, most parents would rethink their strategy if they are aware of the side effects of over exposure to the television. Children watch on an average around 28 hours of television per week. 2 By the age of eight, aggression (好斗性，侵略) becomes so rooted in a child that it predicts adult aggression. Besides, it has been found that children who spend a lot of time in front of the television do poorly in school. 3 Consequently their social development will be affected. 4 So it’s almost impossible to completely ban it from our children’s life. However, as parents we could: ·Get children interested in sports. ·Encourage children to cultivate the reading habit. ·Set a good example by limiting our own television viewing. ·Help children develop other hobbies such as building models and drawing. ·Choose the programs our children will watch, and stick to the schedule. Television eats up the time our children are not studying or sleeping. All those things we want them to be: a wild teenager, a scholar, a lover—when are they going to do all that? 5 Help them get a life — a real one! A．This includes violence and viewing not suitable for their age. B．So stop letting our children live in a make-believe world. C．Television has been such an essential part of our daily lives D．Therefore, both parents and children should be aware of this fact. E．Moreover, it is harmful to children’s health, particularly their eyesight. F．TV watching also reduces the time children spend communicating with others. G．And their children are left in front of the TV to avoid making trouble. 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．F 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了孩子看电视太多会有不良影响，并为家长提出了一些帮助孩子合理使用电视的建议。 1．上文“With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a ‘babysitter’.

Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd. has introduced its new product, Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat. The bites are inspired by the world-famous Wagyu beef, famous for its fat marbling patterns (大理石花纹) in the meat, which is also very expensive. The company was formed in 2019 and has an office in Israel and Belgium, and is now expanding its operations to the US. 121 Stakeholder uses stem cells from cattle for the production of its printed beef, and the muscle tissue and fat are printed from two separate bio-inks. 1 A bite can be made juicier, chewier, and the taste can also be altered. 2 The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield. The next step is proliferation, in which the cells are placed into a nutrient rich reactor to multiply. When the cells reach appropriate numbers, the stem cells change into muscle cells and fat cells. 124 “This product marks a major step forward for us and for the cultured meat industry in general,” said Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods. “It is the result of a lot of hard work and our desire to achieve the highest level of meat possible through bioprinting and cell culture processes.” 3 Its patent for 3D-bioprinting technology is the result of intensive cooperation between its 3D printing engineers and cell biologists. “We see Omakase Beef Morsels as the combination of food, technology and fine art,” Kaufman said. “We want to inspire chefs around the world to create delicious masterpieces and unforgettable dining experiences.” So there you have it, guilt-free meat eating may be just around the corner. A．The company has already achieved several milestones since it was founded. B．Its goal is to create sustainable meat products to replace meats such as beef, chicken and even fish. C．The layers of meat and fat can be regrouped in different proportions to create different flavor experiences. D．Additionally, producing meat without having to raise and kill cattle may work out better for ensuring animal welfare and overall health. E．The meat product is the first of its kind and was created using a specific 3D-bioprinting technology that was recently patented by the company. F．In the final steps, the muscle cells and fat cells are turned into meat, ready to be processed into the final product, whether it’s a burger, steak, or even a meatloaf. G．The process works by first selecting the animals to extract (提取) the stem cells from. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．G 4．F 5．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍以色列的一家公司研发了3D打印牛排。 1．上文“The company was formed in 2019 and has an office in Israel and Belgium, and is now expanding its operations to the US.”(该公司成立于2019年，在以色列和比利时设有办事处，目前正在将业务扩展至美国)提出公司在拓展业务，B选项“其目标是创造可持续的肉类产品，以取代牛肉、鸡肉甚至鱼等肉类”承接上文，进一步展望其远景目标，上下文语意连贯。故选B。 2．上文“Stakeholder uses stem cells from cattle for the production of its printed beef, and the muscle tissue and fat are printed from two separate bio-inks.”(利益相关者使用牛的干细胞来生产打印牛肉，肌肉组织和脂肪由两种不同的生物墨水打印)介绍打印牛肉的成分构成。C选项“肉和脂肪的层次可以以不同的比例重新组合，以创造不同的风味体验”承接上文，介绍打印牛肉中的技术细节：可以通过调配比例打印出不同风味的牛肉，上下文语意连贯，都是介绍打印牛肉相关技术。故选C。 3．下文“The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield.”(这些细胞是从能提供最佳肉类和产量的动物身上挑选出来的)中出现特指的名词“The cells”，结合指代关系可知，上文中会出现该名词，G项“The process works by first selecting the animals to extract (提取) the stem cells from.”(该过程的工作原理是首先选择要从中提取干细胞的动物)中出现“the stem cells”，与下文构成照应关系。同时，G项与下文一起介绍了使用牛的干细胞来生产打印牛肉的步骤。故选G。 4．根据上文“The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield.

Whether it's learning a skill, or visiting somewhere new, these all require different ways of thinking. “Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind set, to up size our knowledge of the world,” says health coach Susan sanders. “ 2 It's the learning that makes the difference, firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.” Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change up their life and train for a new job. “As humans, we are meant to grow, stretch, and expand,” says Francesca Kastelanides, director and founder of Beam Academy. “ 3 Although it will most likely be challenging at times, if your reason why is strong enough, you will always gain the benefits.” 4 “When starting a new journey, ask yourself what you hope to gain, why you want to make this move, and what you expect to get out of it at the end.” Learning something new will not only improve your skill set but it will boost your wellbeing. From a physical point of view, when you exercise your brain, the mind reshapes itself, because the physical brain can grow and change.

Whether it's learning a skill, or visiting somewhere new, these all require different ways of thinking.(所以，一开始用不同的方式做事可能需要一点努力，但你很快就会感受到好处。无论是学习一项技能，还是参观一个新的地方，这些都需要不同的思维方式。)”提出用不同的方式做事情可能需要一些努力，这里“不同的方式”指的是与上文的routine不同的方式，所以空处应该选择带有routine“常规”、“例行程序”近义或同义的选项。A项“我们天生是有习惯的生物。”符合文意，“习惯”和“常规”为近义词。故选A项。 2．上文“Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind set, to up size our knowledge of the world.(终身学习需要我们有一种成长的心态，要增加我们对世界的了解。)”提出要终生学习，下文“It’s the learning that makes the difference, firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.(真正起作用的是学习本身，它激发了我们的好奇心，激发了我们的思维。)”强调了学习本身的重要性。C项“我们学什么并不重要。”承上启下，既谈到了学习，又对后文“学习本身起作用”进行了强调。故选C项。 3．上文“Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change up their life and train for a new job.(许多人认为，保持头脑年轻的最好方法是真正改变生活，为一份新工作进行训练。)”引出关键词“learning(学习)”、“train(训练)”、“job(工作)”等，后文“Although it will most likely be challenging at times,(虽然有时很可能会很有挑战性，)”提到这种改变可能会比较难，故空处需要承上启下，就需要提到“工作”、“培训”以及工作培训带来的情感价值。E项“学习一项新技能或为不同的职业重新培训只有积极的好处。”符合文意。故选E项。 4．空处为本段主旨句。后文“When starting a new journey, ask yourself what you hope to gain, why you want to make this move, and what you expect to get out of it at the end.(当开始一段新的旅程时，问问自己，你希望得到什么，为什么要做出这一举动，最后你希望从中得到什么。)”的连续发问都是大家在做每件事情之前需要问自己的问题；而上文“Although it will most likely be challenging at times, if your reason why is strong enough, you will always gain the benefits.(虽然有时很可能会很有挑战性，但如果你的理由足够充分，你总会从中受益。)”强调，做事情之前一定要有足够充分的动机和理由。所以空处需要谈到做事的动机。G项“她解释说，最重要的是利用你的中心动机。”符合文意。故选G项。 5．上文“But, mentally, a new skill also provide you with motivation and increase your confidence.(但是，在心理上，一项新技能也能给你动力，增加你的信心。)”和下文“And, of course, learning will open new opportunities in life that will boost your happiness.(当然，学习也会给你带来新的生活机会，让你更快乐。谁不想变得更快乐呢？)”都提到了学习新技能对情绪的改善，提高自信和幸福感，所以空处也需要填写相应选项，表达学习能如何对情绪做到改善。D项“因此你可以克服任何恐惧和焦虑。”符合文意。故选D项。 （22-23高二上·江苏常州·期中）Social media has basically taken over almost everyday life for a lot of people.
