How to lose weight during the holidays
The holiday season is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and delicious food. However, it can also be a challenging time for those trying to lose weight. ___36___ Here are some expert tips to help you.
Eat smart
Saving up calories for parties or holiday meals is a mistake, says professor Victoria Shanta. As she explains,“ ___37___ Then you are likely to head straight to the dining table and start eating everything in sight!”
Mix it up
“Focus on mingling(应酬), not food,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Don’t stand around the food table at a party. Instead, get out and socialize. ___38___ And offer to help clean up(since that burns even more calories). Be polite and be one of the last to cat — the food looks much less attractive after everyone has dug their paws in or if it’s been sitting out for a while.”
Think before you drink
According to the experts at NYC’s Hospital, an easy way to cut calories is to avoid drinks like regular soda, juice and alcoholic(酒精的)drinks. If you do decide to drink alcohol, choose something without added sugar.
Stay active
“Regular exercise is important to maintaining a healthy weight, but motivation can be lacking when holiday comes,” say the doctors at the Mayo Clinic. Choose and include fun activities into your holiday plans, such as ice skating with family. ___39___
Sleep to lose
The Center for Disease Control points out: “Going out more and staying out later often means cutting back on sleep. ___40___When you sleep less, you’ll tend to eat more and prefer high-fat, high-sugar food. Aim for seven to eight hours per night to guard against mindless eating.”
A. But fear not!
B. Make the first move.
C. You’ll show up hungry.
D. This way, you can add fun to your routine.
E. After all, conversation is totally calorie free!
F. It may do good to your interpersonal relationship.
G. That can make it harder to manage your blood sugar.

38.根据下文“To make a decision, ask yourself:(为了做决定,要先问自己:)”可知,设空句中会提到一种需要做出决定的情形,G项“It’s important to decide what you want to keep and what you can give up.(决定什么是你想要保留的,什么是你可以放弃的,这很重要)”中描述了这种情形:决定保留什么和放弃什么,句中“It’s important to decide”照应下文中“To make a decision”,上下文语意连贯,故选G项。
39.根据下文“Use the holding box to offer yourself some time to make the harder choices.(用缓冲箱给自己一些时间来做更困难的选择)”中特指名词“the holding box”可推知,设空句中会先提到the holding box,E项“This is where a holding box or basket can come in handy.(这时,缓冲箱或缓冲篮就会派上用场了)”中出现了“a holding box”,与下文构成指代关系,同时解决了上文“items connected with your emotion are a tougher call(与你的情感相关的东西是一个比较困难的选择)”中提出的问题,故选E项。
40.设空处是本段小标题,根据下文“You may think that putting the mail in a designated basket or hanging up your purse can prevent messes from building up. Actually, what you really need is a mind-set shift, rather than letting your belongings land where they may.(你可能认为把邮件放在指定的篮子里或把钱包挂起来可以防止混乱。实际上,你真正需要的是一种思维方式的转变,而不是让你的物品随意放置)”可知,本段建议真正应该做的是转变思维方式,故B项“Adopt a new attitude(采取新的态度)”是最佳小标题,故选B项。

(2023-2024学年高一上学期·南师大附中·期末校考)Tune into any sports coverage on TV, and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory, while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat(失利). Studies have shown why—they are universal(普遍的)behaviors, performed by humans in the face of success and failure.
The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. ___36___ They tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.
The answer was Athens, during the 2004 Olympic Games. Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind. ___37___ Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors, 41 of whom had lost their sight, and 12 of whom were blind from birth. The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions, and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads arms and bodies. ___38___ The winners tilted their heads up, smiled, lifted their arms and threw out their chests(胸部), while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.
___39___ Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements. And while it’s possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions, it’s very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.
These actions were remarkably consistent(一致的)between competitors from every part of the world. Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place along with other primary emotions such as happiness, fear, anger, surprise and sadness. ___40___
A. They are also in born behaviors that go beyond human cultures.
B. The results provide strong evidence that these actions are indeed in born.
C. In fact, culture was found to have very little influence on their body language.
D. The result suggested the athletes were showing their pride based on observation.
E. So they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.
F. They found the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways.
G. They especially wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. F 39. B 40. A
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现,人们对成功和失败的反应是天生的,并介绍了这一研究开展的过程以及研究发现。
36.根据上文“The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame.(这一发现来自英属哥伦比亚大学的Jessica Tracy和旧金山州立大学的David Matsumoto,他们想知道人们是如何表达自豪和羞愧的)”可知,上文提到Jessica Tracy和David Matsumoto想知道人们是如何表达自豪和羞愧的,本句应承接上文进一步说明他们想法,G选项中They指代上文中Jessica Tracy和David Matsumoto。G项“They especially wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.(他们特别想知道这些表达方式是否是由文化决定的,是否是通过观察而习得的)”能够承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
37.根据第二段中“They tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.(他们试图找到一大群人,其中一些人之前从未见过其他人对成功或失败做出反应,这一点非常重要)”和上文“Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind.(它的姊妹比赛——残奥会——包括许多天生失明的运动员)”可知,上文提到残奥会包括许多眼睛看不见的运动员,故本句与上文构成因果关系,表示这些人无法目睹其他人对胜利和失败的反应,E项“So they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.(因此,他们不可能目睹其他人对输赢的反应)”能承接上文,符合语境。E选项中they指代上文many athletes who were born blind,故选E。
38.根据上文“Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors, 41 of whom had lost their sight, and 12 of whom were blind from birth. The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions, and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads, arms and bodies.(在一位专业摄影师的帮助下,Tracy和Matsumoto比较了108名参赛者的肢体语言,其中41人后天失明,12人从出生就失明。摄影师在运动员比赛结束后反复拍照,研究人员仔细记录他们头部、手臂和身体的姿势)”以及后文“The winners tilted their heads up, smiled, lifted their arms and puffed out their chests, while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.(获胜者仰起头、微笑、举起双臂、挺起胸膛,而失败者的标志是肩膀前倾、胸膛狭窄)”可知,上文提到Tracy和Matsumoto在对比运动员的姿势,后文则提到了一些获胜者和失败者所共有的肢体动作,可推测他们发现有视力和失明的运动员的行为方式几乎完全相同,F项“They found the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways.(他们发现有视力和无视力的运动员的行为方式几乎完全相同)”能承上启下,符合语境,故选 F 。

And while it’s possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions, it’s very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.(从来没有见过别人有这种行为的男人和女人仍然做出完全相同的动作。虽然父母可能教过他们的盲童一些这些动作,但他们不太可能教过他们——尤其是胸部的扩张或缩小)”可知,上一段对比的结果是有视力和失明的运动员行为方式几乎完全相同,都做出了一些共有的动作,后文则提到从来没有见过别人有这种行为的男人和女人仍然做出完全相同的动作,可推测他们的行为证明了这些动作能力是天生就有的。B项“The results provide strong evidence that these actions are indeed in born.(研究结果提供了强有力的证据,证明这些行为确实是天生的)”符合语境,起到承上启下的作用,故选B。
40.根据上文“These actions were remarkably consistent(一致的)between competitors from every part of the world. Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place along with other primary emotions such as happiness, fear, anger, surprise and sadness.(这些行为在来自世界各地的竞争者之间是非常一致的。Tracy和Matsumoto认为,骄傲和羞耻应该与快乐、恐惧、愤怒、惊讶和悲伤等其他基本情绪一样占有一席之地)”可知,来自世界各地的选手动作也一致,说明骄傲和羞耻是天生的行为,超越了人类文化,A项“They are also in born behaviors that go beyond human cultures.(他们天生的行为也超越了人类文化)”能承接上文,符合语境,故选A 。

(2023-2024学年高一上学期·江苏省天一中学·期末校考)Say you’re on vacation at Niagara Falls. You want to take an amazing photo that captures(捕捉)the exceptional beauty of the waterfalls. ___36___ The thing is you’re not a professional photographer. So, what do you do? Here are some tips that can step up your photography game.
___37___
Before you snap(拍摄)a shot, ask yourself: What are you trying to document and why? That may be as simple as saying to yourself: “I’m going to take a picture of this painting at the museum because I like the colors.” It can help you focus on what you want to remember.
Make a shot list.
Professional photographers often create “shot lists”—a checklist of every photo they hope to capture, along with notes on style and composition—to ensure they get the coverage they need. You can try this same approach on your vacation. ___38___
Capture the ordinary.
___39___ These scenes may not feel impressive enough to photograph in the moment, but they’re ones you’re likely to want to remember after your trip is over. The images may be as simple as your dad napping(打盹)on the plane or your beloved backpack.
Study your photos.
It can be hard to appreciate your photos in the rush of a trip. ___40___ You’ll most likely find some surprises—a glance(一瞥)of a friend in the background or a dangling(悬挂的)flower from a tree branch. Keep an eye out for anything that makes you happy. Above all, what matters is that the photo is meaningful to you.
A. Learn from the professionals.
B. Think before you take a photo.
C. Try to capture moments or objects that may seem “ordinary”.
D. Thus, wait until you’re back home to study your images more carefully.
E. Making use of your senses is another way to add dimension to your pictures.
F. However, you don’t want to take the same photo that everyone else is taking.
G. Such a list can help figure out your photo goals and identify what you’re most excited about.

(2023-2024学年高一上学期·盐城市一中·期末校考)Finding the time to practice is one of the hardest things about learning a language.

Plus, taking the time to practice for 10 minutes here and there will be of great benefit to your progress. ___36___
Play a game.
Learning a language should be fun. Games are fun. Take five minutes or so to complete a level or run through one round of questions or whatever. ___37___ There is no point in playing something that’s easy, ─ trust me, I’ve made this mistake.
Read a newspaper.
You can learn many things from reading a newspaper, from serious situations taking place around the world to less serious things like who was the best-dressed at the Oscars. ___38___ Obviously, it’s near impossible to buy a newspaper in your target language if you are not in a native-speaking country, but that’s where the beauty of the internet comes in.
Run through some flashcards
Whenever you learn a new word, make sure you write it down on a flashcard along with an explanation that you will understand and remember. ___39___ While you’re waiting for your coffee or your lunch to heat up in the microwave, run through a few of these flashcards and test your memory.
Watch commercials(广告)in your target language

In 3907, Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite — the first ever plastic. Since then, plastics have been used widely in various industries and people’s lives. Plastic bags were introduced to supermarkets in 3977. Now, 360,000 plastic bags are used globally every second!
___36___ However, they are extremely inconvenient for the earth:
Plastic bags live on much, much longer — perhaps as much as 1,000 years in a landfill(垃圾填埋地).
When plastic breaks down in the ocean, it doesn’t break down completely. ___37___ The toxic(有毒的)chemicals from the plastic waste then enter the food chain.
Plastic bags cause the death of many sea animals when they are mistaken for food. In 2008, a whale was found beached in California. It died due to the more than 22 kilos of plastic found in its stomach.
___38___ However, sometimes you get to the store and realize you left your reusable shopping bag at home.
The key to improving our environmental behavior is to make a plan. And you should build your environmental muscle memory: Put your recyclable bags somewhere that will ensure you always remember to bring them with you.
If you drive to the store, keep your bags in your car. ___39___ If you walk, store your reusable bags near your front door.
Through this act of green, you have created a plan to ensure you will always have your reusable grocery bags on hand when you need them. ___40___ So build a plan and keep to it!

The holiday season is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and delicious food. However, it can also be a challenging time for those trying to lose weight. ___36___ Here are some expert tips to help you.
Eat smart
Saving up calories for parties or holiday meals is a mistake, says professor Victoria Shanta. As she explains,“ ___37___ Then you are likely to head straight to the dining table and start eating everything in sight!”
Mix it up
“Focus on mingling(应酬), not food,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Don’t stand around the food table at a party. Instead, get out and socialize. ___38___ And offer to help clean up(since that burns even more calories). Be polite and be one of the last to cat — the food looks much less attractive after everyone has dug their paws in or if it’s been sitting out for a while.”
Think before you drink
According to the experts at NYC’s Hospital, an easy way to cut calories is to avoid drinks like regular soda, juice and alcoholic(酒精的)drinks. If you do decide to drink alcohol, choose something without added sugar.
Stay active
“Regular exercise is important to maintaining a healthy weight, but motivation can be lacking when holiday comes,” say the doctors at the Mayo Clinic. Choose and include fun activities into your holiday plans, such as ice skating with family. ___39___
Sleep to lose
The Center for Disease Control points out: “Going out more and staying out later often means cutting back on sleep. ___40___When you sleep less, you’ll tend to eat more and prefer high-fat, high-sugar food. Aim for seven to eight hours per night to guard against mindless eating.”
A. But fear not!
B. Make the first move.
C. You’ll show up hungry.
D. This way, you can add fun to your routine.
E. After all, conversation is totally calorie free!
F. It may do good to your interpersonal relationship.
G. That can make it harder to manage your blood sugar.

But a newcomer will soon be running after them at their heels. ___36___ It is more than ten years since they did better than America to become the most productive car-makers in the world. China is producing the best cars in the world, and on the way to controlling car production. ___37___
China has gradually built its car-making capabilities during different periods. ___38___ And then its state-owned companies reached arrangements with western makers like General Motors in the 3980s. This produced cars that were far better designed, and soon China’s roads were becoming busy with western clones.
___39___ It still pays relatively low wages and has millions of skilled workers. Skilled workers are important to reduce the costs because they make vehicles that need fewer rebuilds. Some Chinese vehicles in the past ten years haven’t had the design expected by western buyers, so haven’t sold in enough cars in Europe to worry the western makers. ___40___ Chinese-designed and built vehicles are not far behind in their design, and starting to enter European markets. Xpeng is one Chinese start-up that only produces electric vehicles. Having sold well in China, it is making its first moves into Europe via Norway with its G3 model. The next revolution in car industry is replacing petrol vehicles with electric. With all of China’s advantages, it could finally become the home of the best cars in the world.

It can improve muscular strength, and it can also increase anaerobic(无氧的)fitness — allowing someone to work out harder, for longer.
Boxing can also have a positive influence on one’s mental well-being. Dr Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says, “___38___” Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of discipline(自律)and focus.
And there is a third benefit of putting on the boxing gloves. Practising punches can be done alone of course.
___39___ Dr Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University says that this teamwork can create a sense of identity and belonging. So, whatever the reason that attracts someone to boxing is, the interactive elements of the sport mean it can also have great social benefits.
___40___ That’s why more and more people are stepping into the ring.
A. Its physical benefits are clear.
B. How many calories does boxing bum?

A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games. You can also help them practice, and help with team fundraising. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.

Create a holding box
While it’s easy to part with things that are broken, outdated, or that you simply don’t use, items connected with your emotion are a tougher call. ___39___ Use the holding box to offer yourself some time to make the harder choices.

Do you have ideas that are worth a wider audience? ___38___ A lot of speakers are happy to talk for hours without sharing anything much of value. But there are also many people who think little of the value of their work, their learning, and their deep understandings.

(2023-2024学年高一上学期·南师大附中·期末校考)Tune into any sports coverage on TV, and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory, while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat(失利). Studies have shown why—they are universal(普遍的)behaviors, performed by humans in the face of success and failure.
The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. ___36___ They tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.
The answer was Athens, during the 2004 Olympic Games. Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind. ___37___ Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors, 41 of whom had lost their sight, and 12 of whom were blind from birth. The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions, and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads arms and bodies. ___38___ The winners tilted their heads up, smiled, lifted their arms and threw out their chests(胸部), while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.
___39___ Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements. And while it’s possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions, it’s very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.
These actions were remarkably consistent(一致的)between competitors from every part of the world. Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place along with other primary emotions such as happiness, fear, anger, surprise and sadness. ___40___
A. They are also in born behaviors that go beyond human cultures.
B. The results provide strong evidence that these actions are indeed in born.
C. In fact, culture was found to have very little influence on their body language.
D. The result suggested the athletes were showing their pride based on observation.
E. So they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.
F. They found the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways.
G. They especially wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.

The idea is quite simple. Anyone who can use a computer and have an Internet connection will have the ability to talk to a therapist online. Many providers ask the potential client(客户)several questions before signing up. ___37___ Once the service understands your unique needs, it then pairs you with a therapist.
___38___ People who use an online therapy service frequently mention that they can manage the monthly payments, which generally do not go beyond £200 per month. Online therapy is also known as being as effective as traditional therapy, while more private without the shame it brings.
For all the love online therapy has received lately, it doesn’t come without its disadvantages. The main problems many people have with online therapy are the absence of facial expressions and ethics(道德规范). ___39___ There are also other concerns that are frequently brought up, such as management problems and technological difficulties.
___40___ It’s important to keep in mind that though many people are already using one of these services, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good option for you. If you decide to use one, understand the risks and potentially limited results it can have.

Make a shot list.
Professional photographers often create “shot lists”—a checklist of every photo they hope to capture, along with notes on style and composition—to ensure they get the coverage they need. You can try this same approach on your vacation. ___38___

___39___ These scenes may not feel impressive enough to photograph in the moment, but they’re ones you’re likely to want to remember after your trip is over. The images may be as simple as your dad napping(打盹)on the plane or your beloved backpack.
Study your photos.
It can be hard to appreciate your photos in the rush of a trip. ___40___ You’ll most likely find some surprises—a glance(一瞥)of a friend in the background or a dangling(悬挂的)flower from a tree branch.

Companies in every country operate in ways that are right for their own cultures. ___38___ One of those is that it is better to inspire than to direct. Yes, people will do what their bosses tell them to do in most organizations. But great leaders do not just want to secure compliance(顺从).
