专题06 阅读理解七选五 （一） （23-24高二上·广东广州·期末）Critical thinking can be described as disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence. While that seems to describe the ability of many professionals, some leaders in organizations today have a strong feeling that this ability is fading. 1 Be a continuous learner. Learners have a natural sense of curiosity about the world and their profession. They read and talk to people. 2 This can come from reading, talking to subject matter experts, listening to lectures online, or attending conferences. The more they know, the more evidence they have to consider when making a decision. Make the right decision for the majority. Critical thinkers put their egos aside and think about what is best for the overall organization. 3 However, their goal is seeking to understand and then making a clear and rational decision that is best for the majority. Listen and consider unconventional opinions. 4 They don’t like the phrase “that is the way we have always done it.” They also see that collaboration with their team, their profession, and sometimes their competitors will bring about the best solutions, and they are OK with that. 5 Critical thinkers develop a skill for explaining to others why they came to a specific conclusion. Others can follow their reasoning and can understand their thinking. They are willing to change their views when they are provided with more information that allows greater understanding.

However, there are some important tips and tricks that work for every learner. 1. Engage yourself in a language Engagement is arguably the most effective way to learn a language. You should surround yourself with the language and listen to it as much as you can. Just try to speak the language in different situations, even if it’s not necessary. 6 If you don’t know the word, that would be a nice chance to look it up and learn something new. 2. Learn through context If you’re learning a language, you should make sure that it’s based on natural dialogues and real-world situations. Contextual learning will help you guess the meaning from the context. 7 Learning about culture, people, and customs is an important part of acquiring language skills. And that’s really important, especially when you’re just starting out.3. 8 Grammar is the foundation of every language and a system of rules that allow us to structure sentences. But people are often afraid of it or they find it dreadfully boring. 9 Instead, grammar can be taught through examples, stories, and, once again, context! In other words, you should see grammar in action. You shouldn’t only learn grammar rules but rather see them in usage. As you can see, there are many ways to practice the language efficiently. 10 One thing is for sure: learning languages can and should be a fun and enjoyable experience. A．Learn language rules systematically. B．Don’t skip grammar — but do it differently. C．You just need to find a method that works for you and keep at it. D．For instance, if you’re making dinner, you can try to name each cuisine. E．This is a great way to learn from locals while integrating in a new country. F．It will also allow you to apply your knowledge and get valuable cultural insights. G．Learning it doesn’t have to involve memorizing a bunch of rules from a textbook. （三） （23-24高二上·广东汕头·期末）How to Succeed in Science To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck. In my view, you have to combine intelligence with willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward. Thus, these have come to be my rules for success. • 11 That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win, it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult. 12 • Take risks. 13 If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes. This can be more than personally upsetting. • Never do anything that bores you. My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leave you alone. 14 In fact, I even find it hard to do well in something I like. It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists — you have to go to key meetings where you find key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them unpleasant. So my final rule is: 15 A．To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. B．Meet challenges with great courage. C．Put another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top. D．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess. E．I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. F．If you can’t stand to be with your real peers, get out of science. G．Avoid foolish people. （四） （23-24高二上·广东肇庆·期末）Bad thoughts can trouble you for days, weeks, or months. While you should always seek help if you constantly suffer from bad thoughts, you can work through them on your own in many cases. 16 This is possibly the easiest way to start addressing your problems. Too often you believe you are the only one with problems, or that no one understands what you are going through. But bad thoughts are part of life and, most importantly, they will go away. Think about what makes the thought “bad”. Why are you upset about it? 17 Bad thoughts exist because you feel ashamed, angry, or unsure, so thinking about why you are caught on the same thought can help address the problem. 18 Getting your bad thoughts into the open is a great way to work through what makes them so bad. It helps you realize that the thought is not as bad as it seemed. 19 Simply telling your thoughts in a comfortable setting may be enough to remove them. Literally “throw your problem away”. This may sound strange and unusual, but people who write down their bad thoughts and throw the paper away have a better self-image than people who keep the paper. By doing this, you can tell your body that it is time to move on. 20 A．What is making it stick in your head? B．How can you solve it as quickly as possible? C．Remember that occasional bad thoughts are normal. D．Talk through your bad thoughts with someone you trust. E．Even if a situation isn’t ideal or is difficult, you can still be okay. F．Also, someone with similar anxieties may offer you valuable advice. G．Just emptying your computer’s trash bin (垃圾箱) has the same effect. （五） （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期末）Gardening has been around for as long as humans have been growing food. Today it is known for its health benefits. Focusing attention on the tasks and details of gardening can reduce negative thoughts and feelings and make you feel better. 21 Besides, things like weeding and digging are a good exercise. If you don’t like going to the gym, gardening is an enjoyable way to help you keep fit. You can include gardening in your life in many ways. Decide what you want to grow. 22 Different plants need varying amounts of care. Make choices about what to grow based on how much time you have, where you live, and how much money you can invest in your plants. 23 A community garden is a shared space where people grow plants in one large area or in smaller individual plots. Search online for community gardens near you. This is also a great place to ask questions and learn from experienced gardeners. Grow plants indoors. You don’t need to own land to start gardening. 24 All you need is a window or artificial sunlight source, potting soil, containers, and other supplies based on what plants you grow. Not every plant will grow exactly how you want or expect. Almost every gardener will have problems growing and caring for their plants at some point. 25 A．Tending plants is an easy job. B．Get involved at a community garden. C．Do you have a favorite flower, fruit, or vegetable? D．Plenty of plants grow well indoors in pots or planters. E．Just spending time around plants eases stress for many people. F．Indoor gardens are an entertaining way to green up your home. G．Learn from your problems, and don’t let them keep you from continuing to garden. （六） （23-24高二上·广东潮州·期末）Today’s Wonder of the Day comes in all shapes and sizes. It can look like a beautiful landscape, a familiar skyline, or even outer space! It comes in boxes labeled with numbers — 300, 500, 1,000, or even 2,500. What are we talking about? Jigsaw puzzles (拼图游戏), of course! Puzzles have been around since at least 1760. Today, though, the process of making jigsaw puzzles has changed quite a bit. 26 They used jigsaws to cut each piece out of wood or cardboard. Some specialty puzzle makers still do so today, but it’s far less common. Instead, most puzzles are mass-produced. How exactly are modern puzzles made? It starts with choosing the right picture. 27 The most popular puzzles are often full of details. After all, this makes them quite a bit more manageable — imagine working on a puzzle that is just one color or patter! Once the image is chosen, it’s printed on special paper and pasted to cardboard. Then, they’re left to dry before going through the die cutter. 28 The design of the die cutter is unique to each puzzle and is often drawn by hand. Later, they go through a machine that separates them. 29 Of course, puzzles aren’t just for fun! They’re good for your brain. Experts say putting together a puzzle has the same effect as trying to solve a mystery. It can stimulate different brain areas. 30 It feels great to place that last piece in the right spot. Maybe that’s why puzzles seem to be a timeless source of entertainment. A．Working on a puzzle can also reduce stress. B．Decades ago, people made puzzles by hand. C．Finally, they’re boxed up and made ready for sale. D．Not every piece of beautiful artwork can make the cut. E．Puzzles offer an affordable way for people to have fun. F．No matter your preferences, there’s a puzzle out there for you. G．You can think of this as a cookie cutter that cuts the puzzle into pieces. （七） （23-24高二上·广东佛山·期末）Healthy Eating There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet. For example, scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food. 31 People who receive 25% of their daily calories (热量)or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day. 32 On average, people get 1/3 of their sugar through sweet drinks alone. You need to limit yourselves to less than 100-150 calories a day from sugar. In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts, and cut out sweet drinks altogether. Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different types of fresh foods, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods. It is also important to have some meat, beans, or dairy products in your diet. As with everything in life, moderation (适度)is key. 33 Finally, a key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. 34 In addition, studies show that consistent eating habits, for example, taking three meals a day at the same time each day, are better for our health. There is no one secret to healthy eating. 35 One question you can ask yourself is, “Do I eat to live, or live to eat?” It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet. A．It starts with having a healthy attitude towards food. B．Healthy foods help protect you against lots of diseases. C．Processed foods often contain a large amount of sugar. D．Much of extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks. E．What this means is that people who eat too quickly end up eating too much. F．The ideal diet is a balanced one, without too much or too little of any one thing. G．However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is sugar. （八） （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期末）Do you frequently think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? 36 Simply put, reframing is changing how you see something and then expressing it differently. Below are four strategies to help you get started. 37 You are the author of your thoughts and you assign them through your response. Just like waves in an ocean, some thoughts are strong and others are weak. Don’t hold on or fight unhelpful thoughts, which will take you under. Teach yourself to allow your thoughts to freely come and go. This may help you see the big picture. Look at the situation from an outsider perspective. Remove yourself from the situation by looking at the circumstance from the outside. 38 The perspective can help you put some distance between the circumstance and your emotions, thus helping you look for the best possible solution. Distinguish reality from emotions. Ask yourself, “What are the facts about the situation and what are my feelings?” Emotions can easily steal the attention from reality. 39 By telling the differences and keeping your eye on the supporting facts, you may be able to find a clue and move on to life’s next mystery. Dig through the dirt to find the gold. Challenge yourself to look beyond the darkness to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just like a gold miner, you may have to go through a lot of dirt to get to that priceless little gold. 40 The next time you start to feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed, try to reframe the situation and look at it from a slightly different angle. If you do, you’ll likely end up in a better psychological place. A．Ride the wave. B．Fight the wave. C．They can also make a big deal over nothing. D．If so, then perhaps you could use a little thought reframing. E．Don’t let unhelpful thoughts make you miss a precious opportunity. F．Reframing changes the way you see, think, and respond to situations. G．This will allow you to observe what’s happening from a different angle. （九） （23-24高二上·广东揭阳·期末）Ways to Save Money on Tech You may be filled with fears when you think about the time your laptop can not work, or your child drops your mobile phone down the toilet. 41 Hopefully from the few tips below you will have some ideas on how to save money when it comes to buying tech. Wait for sale seasons Wait for shopping sales to see if you can get a good deal, but at the same time don’t be cheated by overhyped (夸大的) sales prices that don’t really save you that much money. 42 Shop around 43 Look at various different retailers to compare costs, even consider using a comparison site to make sure you are getting the best for your money. Check reviews Read reviews for whatever you are considering to buy, regardless of the price. 44 If you’re going to spend money freely on something that will only need to be replaced in a couple of years, is it really worth the expense?

To leave your comfort zone and be pushed into an entirely new environment, with its own climate, culture, and customs, is a bold move. 51 However, once you overcome these challenges, studying abroad can bring numerous rewards. Unsurprisingly, living and studying in an unfamiliar culture will lead to some degree of culture shock, which can bring about feelings of frustration, homesickness, and maybe even regret. 52 Learning more about the local customs and traditions, for instance, will help you bridge your knowledge gap and better understand the country. Plus, making friends with locals will help relieve your negative feelings. Just like many overseas students, you might face tremendous economic pressure. Apart from considering studying in a more affordable country, managing your finances and budgeting is key. Following some simple finance tips can help you reduce your expenses. 53 Researching the rental prices in different neighborhoods can also save you money in the long run. Another common problem that usually arises is adjusting to the new pace of life. 54 If you leave a bustling Chinese city to a quiet European town, you might feel depressed that things flow a lot slower. On the flip side, you might feel overwhelmed when moving from a leisure environment to a busy one. So what’s the solution? Well, reading up on the way of life in a foreign country beforehand can help you decide whether it is compatible (兼容的) with your personality, goals, and desired lifestyle. After all, you probably wouldn’t choose London if you dislike crowds. Similarly, Spain might be unappealing to you if you like hanging out at night. 55 A．Trying hard to get rid of these negative emotions. B．Embracing your host culture is key to handling it. C．This might mean cooking at home or using public transport. D．It’s obvious that adapting to a new life is more than challenging. E．It can cause various emotions, depending on where you come from.

This soft ball seemingly only blocks your way to your pills. Adding to the confusion, it’s not any kind of special object. It’s just a common cotton ball. Then what purpose could it possibly serve? 56 The first-ever cotton balls started showing up in pill bottles in the early 1900s. The medical company Bayer was the first one to add them. 57 It worried that the customers might end up taking too much or too little medicine due to the small pieces. Decades later, pill coatings made the cotton balls useless. The coatings on pills ensured they were no longer in danger of breaking apart in the bottle. Bayer itself actually stopped putting cotton balls in the bottles just decades ago. 58 Why? It had become a custom. According to a report, consumers expected to see the cotton balls there and most didn’t know they were useless. 59 They might be an annoyance, surely. But customers have been used to the cotton balls. Many have believed their pills are somehow safer or fresher because of them. 60 The cotton balls don’t preserve quality or freshness in any way. And in fact, they might have the opposite effect. It’s said that the cotton can actually draw moisture (潮气) into the bottle. Too much moisture could affect pills’ effect. A．Actually, the idea is not right. B．They’re out of place and harmful. C．Many other companies, though, still kept them in. D．The truth is that it used to have an important function. E．It was the first time that people had found the cotton balls’ secret. F．Moreover, many companies thought there was no need to remove them. G．It did so to prevent the pills from shaking around and potentially breaking. （十三） （23-24高二上·广东湛江·期末）A gym membership can be nice. 61 All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine. Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. 62 Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). 63 This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. 64 You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance. Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 65 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly. A．After all, we work out to build our muscles. B．Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan. C．But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. D．For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. E．Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. F．Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. G．Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. （十四） （23-24高二上·广东广州·期末）Why do we need hobbies? A 2015 US study in a medical journal found that people were more positive, less bored, less stressed and had a lower heart rate when taking part in a leisure activity. Numerous other studies have shown that hobbies reduce stress, and boost mood, well-being, life satisfaction and even heart health. 66 How do you choose the right hobby? Start with what you enjoyed in the past. 67 Take it up again or start something else which satisfies your competitive spirit or the fun you get from being part of a team, such as a local community group. Try something and if you find it isn’t for you, stop and take up something else. Which leisure activities do good for physical health? It’s clear that exercise can do. Even regular quick walking can bring workout, and it’s sociable too. 68 And a Swedish study found both gardening and DIY could reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke by up to 30 per cent among over-sixties. Which hobbies help you relax? Getting out in nature is great for reducing stress, whether you’re hiking or doing something less active. Yoga can lift mood and ease depression, as well as improve strength and heart health. Music, whether that’s playing the piano or listening to your favourite band, can also relieve depression and anxiety. 69 70 Learning a language or an instrument and reading may lead to a lower risk of dementia (痴呆). Older choir singers have better language ability, showing better cognitive ability, than people of a similar age who don’t sing in a choir, according to a recent Finnish study. Research has found that dancing is also good for your brain. A．Did you once play football? B．Bird-watching can help you stay focused. C．Did you play the piano when you were a child? D．Which spare time activity keep your mind active? E．Scientists think they might help delay dementia as well. F．A 2016 study found creating art reduced stress levels in your mind. G．A review of 94 studies found dancing once a week improved balance in older people. （十五） （23-24高二上·广东广州·期末）Guide to Planning a Trip Planning a trip can be stressful if you’re not sure where to start or you’re afraid you’ll forget something important.

(虽然这似乎描述了许多专业人士的能力，但今天组织中的一些领导人强烈感觉到这种能力正在消退。)”讲述了批判性思考的能力正在衰退，再结合下文分段讲述的建议可知，空处应用承上启下，指出接下来有帮助培养批判性思考技能的策略，G项“以下策略将帮助你和你的团队培养批判性思维技能。”符合题意。故选G。 2．本段首句“Be a continuous learner. (做一个不断学习的人。)”是主旨句，本段主要讲述的是要不断学习。空处应和学习有关，D项“基本上，他们不用吩咐就会自我教育。”符合题意，下文中的This指代空处的内容。故选D。 3．前文“Critical thinkers put their egos aside and think about what is best for the overall organization. (批判性思考者把自我放在一边，思考什么对整个组织最有利。)”讲述了进行批判性思考的人会把注意集中在整个组织上，而不是个人上，后文“However, their goal is seeking to understand and then making a clear and rational decision that is best for the majority. (然而，他们的目标是寻求理解，然后做出对大多数人最有利的清晰合理的决定。)”中的However表明空处与后文是转折关系，后文讲述了他们的目标是做出对大多数人最有利的决定，由此可知，空处应讲述对整个组织最有利的事情对个人来说不是最好的，C项“也许这对个人来说不是最好的解决方案。”符合题意。故选C。 4．空前的“Listen and consider unconventional opinions. (倾听并考虑非传统观点。)”是本段主旨句，建议要倾听并考虑非传统观点，所以空处应讲述的是进行批判性思考的人会寻找新的方法，E项“批判性思考者倾向于为旧问题寻找新的解决方案。”符合题意。故选E。 5．空处是本段主旨句，且应用祈使句。根据后文中的“Critical thinkers develop a skill for explaining to others why they came to a specific conclusion.

However, there are some important tips and tricks that work for every learner. 1. Engage yourself in a language Engagement is arguably the most effective way to learn a language. You should surround yourself with the language and listen to it as much as you can. Just try to speak the language in different situations, even if it’s not necessary. 6 If you don’t know the word, that would be a nice chance to look it up and learn something new. 2. Learn through context If you’re learning a language, you should make sure that it’s based on natural dialogues and real-world situations. Contextual learning will help you guess the meaning from the context. 7 Learning about culture, people, and customs is an important part of acquiring language skills. And that’s really important, especially when you’re just starting out.3. 8 Grammar is the foundation of every language and a system of rules that allow us to structure sentences. But people are often afraid of it or they find it dreadfully boring. 9 Instead, grammar can be taught through examples, stories, and, once again, context! In other words, you should see grammar in action. You shouldn’t only learn grammar rules but rather see them in usage. As you can see, there are many ways to practice the language efficiently. 10 One thing is for sure: learning languages can and should be a fun and enjoyable experience. A．Learn language rules systematically. B．Don’t skip grammar — but do it differently. C．You just need to find a method that works for you and keep at it. D．For instance, if you’re making dinner, you can try to name each cuisine. E．This is a great way to learn from locals while integrating in a new country. F．It will also allow you to apply your knowledge and get valuable cultural insights. G．Learning it doesn’t have to involve memorizing a bunch of rules from a textbook. 【答案】6．D 7．F 8．B 9．G 10．C 【导语】本文是说明文。本文介绍了学习语言的三个重要技巧：积极参与、上下文学习和创新语法练习，旨在帮助读者高效提升语言能力。 6．根据前文“Just try to speak the language in different situations, even if it’s not necessary.(试着在不同的场合说这门语言，即使没有必要)”可知，D项“For instance, if you’re making dinner, you can try to name each cuisine.(例如，如果你在做晚餐，你可以试着说出每道菜的名字)”是对前文提到的方法的具体举例，符合文意。故选D项。 7．根据前文“Contextual learning will help you guess the meaning from the context.(语境学习将帮助你从语境中猜测意思)”可知，此处是在讲述语境学习的好处，所以F项“It will also allow you to apply your knowledge and get valuable cultural insights.(它还可以让你应用你的知识，并获得有价值的文化见解)”也是在讲述好处，符合文意。故选F项。 8．分析设空，是本段的小标题，应是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Grammar is the foundation of every language and a system of rules that allow us to structure sentences. But people are often afraid of it or they find it dreadfully boring.(语法是每门语言的基础，是一套规则系统，使我们能够组织句子。但是人们经常害怕它，或者他们觉得它非常无聊)”可知，本段主要讲述语法学习，所以B项“Don’t skip grammar — but do it differently.(不要跳过语法，但要用不同的方法)”是本段的小标题。故选B项。 9．根据后文“Instead, grammar can be taught through examples, stories, and, once again, context!(相反，语法可以通过例子、故事和上下文来教授!)”可知，空处应和本句构成转折关系，讲述的是学习语法的方法，所以G项“Learning it doesn’t have to involve memorizing a bunch of rules from a textbook.(学习它并不需要背一堆课本上的规则)”符合文意，和后文构成转折关系。故选G项。 10．根据前文“As you can see, there are many ways to practice the language efficiently.(正如你所看到的，有很多方法可以有效地练习语言)”可知，本段是对前文的总结，所以C项“You just need to find a method that works for you and keep at it.(你只需要找到一种适合你的方法，并坚持下去)”符合文意，属于总结性的句子，并承接上文。故选C项。 （三） （23-24高二上·广东汕头·期末）How to Succeed in Science To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck. In my view, you have to combine intelligence with willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward. Thus, these have come to be my rules for success. • 11 That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win, it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult. 12 • Take risks. 13 If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes. This can be more than personally upsetting. • Never do anything that bores you. My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leave you alone. 14 In fact, I even find it hard to do well in something I like. It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists — you have to go to key meetings where you find key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them unpleasant. So my final rule is: 15 A．To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. B．Meet challenges with great courage. C．Put another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top. D．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess. E．I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. F．If you can’t stand to be with your real peers, get out of science. G．Avoid foolish people. 【答案】11．G 12．C 13．A 14．E 15．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在科学上取得成功的一些经验和方法。 11．空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. (这听起来可能很骄傲，但事实是，你必须经常求助于比你聪明的人。就像玩任何游戏一样。即使在我还是个孩子的时候，我也从来不想和像我一样糟糕的人玩游戏)”可知，本段的建议与和比自己聪明的人相处相关，因此G项“Avoid foolish people. (避免愚蠢的人)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的foolish和后文的brighter相对。故选G。 12．前文“And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult.

(换句话说，就是超越自己的能力，取得成功)”符合语境，进一步解释获胜的含义，承接前文。故选C。 13．空处位于段首，应该引出段落内容。后文“If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes. This can be more than personally upsetting. (如果你想在科学上有一个巨大的飞跃，从定义上讲，你很可能没有资格成功。此外，你甚至要准备好怀疑你的科学英雄。这可能不仅仅是个人的烦恼)”主要介绍了在科学上获得成功的困难，因此A项“To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. (为了取得巨大的成功，科学家必须准备好陷入大麻烦)”符合语境，点明要有陷入大麻烦的准备，其中的deep trouble呼应后文描述的困难。故选A。 14．段落标题“Never do anything that bores you. (不要做任何让你厌烦的事情)”建议在科学上避免让自己厌烦的事情，后文“In fact, I even find it hard to do well in something I like. (事实上，我甚至发现很难做好我喜欢的事情)”分享做好喜欢的事情也有难度的经验，因此E项“I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. (我不够好，不能做好我不喜欢的事情)”符合语境，分享很难做好不喜欢的事情的经验，呼应标题，后文是对选项内容的延伸。故选E。 15．前文“It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists — you have to go to key meetings where you find key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them unpleasant. (如果你不想和其他科学家在一起，你就很难取得成功——你必须参加一些重要的会议，在那里你会发现一些你可能会漏掉的关键事实。你必须和你的竞争对手聊天，即使你觉得他们不讨人喜欢)”说明想在科学上取得成功必须和他人相处协作，因此F项“If you can’t stand to be with your real peers, get out of science. (如果你不能忍受和你真正的同龄人在一起，那就离开科学吧)”符合语境，点明无法和他人待在一起就应放弃科学，是对前文内容的总结。故选F。 （四） （23-24高二上·广东肇庆·期末）Bad thoughts can trouble you for days, weeks, or months. While you should always seek help if you constantly suffer from bad thoughts, you can work through them on your own in many cases. 16 This is possibly the easiest way to start addressing your problems. Too often you believe you are the only one with problems, or that no one understands what you are going through. But bad thoughts are part of life and, most importantly, they will go away. Think about what makes the thought “bad”. Why are you upset about it? 17 Bad thoughts exist because you feel ashamed, angry, or unsure, so thinking about why you are caught on the same thought can help address the problem. 18 Getting your bad thoughts into the open is a great way to work through what makes them so bad. It helps you realize that the thought is not as bad as it seemed. 19 Simply telling your thoughts in a comfortable setting may be enough to remove them. Literally “throw your problem away”. This may sound strange and unusual, but people who write down their bad thoughts and throw the paper away have a better self-image than people who keep the paper. By doing this, you can tell your body that it is time to move on. 20 A．What is making it stick in your head? B．How can you solve it as quickly as possible? C．Remember that occasional bad thoughts are normal. D．Talk through your bad thoughts with someone you trust. E．Even if a situation isn’t ideal or is difficult, you can still be okay. F．Also, someone with similar anxieties may offer you valuable advice. G．Just emptying your computer’s trash bin (垃圾箱) has the same effect. 【答案】16．C 17．A 18．D 19．F 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了应对“不好的想法”的一些技巧。 16．根据后面的内容“This is possibly the easiest way to start addressing your problems. Too often you believe you are the only one with problems, or that no one understands what you are going through. But bad thoughts are part of life and, most importantly, they will go away. (这可能是解决问题最简单的方法。你常常认为你是唯一一个有问题的人，或者没有人理解你在经历什么。但坏想法是生活的一部分，最重要的是，它们会消失)”可知，作者在解释人人都会有不好的想法，它们是生活中的一部分，因此C项“记住，偶尔的坏想法是正常的。”在首句位置最佳。故选C。 17．本段首句“Think about what makes the thought “bad”.(想想是什么让这个想法变得“糟糕”)”建议读者思考什么导致想法糟糕，第二句“Why are you upset about it?(你为什么心烦意乱？)”是建议读者思考为什么对这种想法心烦意乱，A项“What is making it stick in your head?(是什么让它在你脑海里挥之不去？)”继续用问题引发读者思考：是什么导致这个想法萦绕心头，因此最符合逻辑。故选A。 18．根据下文“Getting your bad thoughts into the open is a great way to work through what makes them so bad. It helps you realize that the thought is not as bad as it seemed.(把你的坏想法说出来是一种很好的方法，可以让你理清是什么让它们变得如此糟糕。它会帮助你意识到这个想法并不像看起来那么糟糕)”可知，本段给读者的建议是将自己的想法说出来告诉别人以及这样做的好处，因此D项“和你信任的人谈谈你的坏想法。”为本段主题句。故选D。 19．根据上文“Getting your bad thoughts into the open is a great way to work through what makes them so bad. It helps you realize that the thought is not as bad as it seemed.(把你的坏想法说出来是一种很好的方法，可以让你理清是什么让它们变得如此糟糕。它会帮助你意识到这个想法并不像看起来那么糟糕)”和下文“Simply telling your thoughts in a comfortable setting may be enough to remove them.(在一个舒适的环境中简单地说出你的想法可能足以消除它们)”可知，本段给读者的建议是将自己的想法告诉别人以及这样做的好处，F项“同样，有类似焦虑的人可能会给你提供有价值的建议。”也是这样做的好处之一，符合语境，故选F。 20．根据首句“Literally “throw your problem away”.(字面意思“扔掉你的问题”)”可知，本段建议抛掉不好的想法，前文“This may sound strange and unusual, but people who write down their bad thoughts and throw the paper away have a better self-image than people who keep the paper. By doing this, you can tell your body that it is time to move on.(这听起来可能有些奇怪和不寻常，但是那些把自己不好的想法写下来然后扔掉的人比那些留着纸的人有更好的自我形象。通过这样做，你可以告诉你的身体是时候继续前进了)”引用了研究结论来佐证抛开不好的想法的益处，G项“清空电脑的垃圾箱也有同样的效果。”符合本段主题。故选G。 （五） （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期末）Gardening has been around for as long as humans have been growing food.

It can look like a beautiful landscape, a familiar skyline, or even outer space! It comes in boxes labeled with numbers — 300, 500, 1,000, or even 2,500. What are we talking about? Jigsaw puzzles (拼图游戏), of course! Puzzles have been around since at least 1760. Today, though, the process of making jigsaw puzzles has changed quite a bit. 26 They used jigsaws to cut each piece out of wood or cardboard. Some specialty puzzle makers still do so today, but it’s far less common. Instead, most puzzles are mass-produced. How exactly are modern puzzles made? It starts with choosing the right picture. 27 The most popular puzzles are often full of details. After all, this makes them quite a bit more manageable — imagine working on a puzzle that is just one color or patter! Once the image is chosen, it’s printed on special paper and pasted to cardboard. Then, they’re left to dry before going through the die cutter. 28 The design of the die cutter is unique to each puzzle and is often drawn by hand. Later, they go through a machine that separates them. 29 Of course, puzzles aren’t just for fun! They’re good for your brain. Experts say putting together a puzzle has the same effect as trying to solve a mystery. It can stimulate different brain areas. 30 It feels great to place that last piece in the right spot. Maybe that’s why puzzles seem to be a timeless source of entertainment. A．Working on a puzzle can also reduce stress. B．Decades ago, people made puzzles by hand. C．Finally, they’re boxed up and made ready for sale. D．Not every piece of beautiful artwork can make the cut. E．Puzzles offer an affordable way for people to have fun.

For example, scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food. 31 People who receive 25% of their daily calories (热量)or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day. 32 On average, people get 1/3 of their sugar through sweet drinks alone. You need to limit yourselves to less than 100-150 calories a day from sugar. In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts, and cut out sweet drinks altogether. Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different types of fresh foods, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods. It is also important to have some meat, beans, or dairy products in your diet. As with everything in life, moderation (适度)is key. 33 Finally, a key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. 34 In addition, studies show that consistent eating habits, for example, taking three meals a day at the same time each day, are better for our health. There is no one secret to healthy eating. 35 One question you can ask yourself is, “Do I eat to live, or live to eat?” It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet. A．It starts with having a healthy attitude towards food. B．Healthy foods help protect you against lots of diseases. C．Processed foods often contain a large amount of sugar. D．Much of extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks. E．What this means is that people who eat too quickly end up eating too much. F．The ideal diet is a balanced one, without too much or too little of any one thing. G．However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is sugar. 【答案】31．G 32．D 33．F 34．E 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了养成健康饮食习惯的一些方法策略。 31．根据下文“People who receive 25% of their daily calories (热量)or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day.”（每天从糖中摄取25%或以上热量的人死于心脏病的可能性是每天摄入少于10%热量的人的两倍。）可知，健康状况不佳的真正罪魁祸首是糖。故G选项“然而，越来越多的证据表明，健康状况不佳的真正罪魁祸首是糖。”切题。故选G项。 32．根据下文“On average, people get 1/3 of their sugar through sweet drinks alone.”（人们平均有三分之一的糖分来自甜饮料）推知，空处说明糖的来源。故D选线“很多额外的糖来自甜食和甜饮料”切题。故选D项。 33．根据上文“As with everything in life, moderation (适度)is key”（和生活中的所有事情一样，适度是关键）可知，选项承接上文具体说明适度性。故F选项“理想的饮食是均衡的，一种东西不能太多也不能太少。”切题。故选F项。 34．根据上文“Finally, a key to health y eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full.”（最后，健康饮食的关键是慢慢吃。从你开始吃东西到你的大脑告诉你的身体你已经吃饱了大约需要20分钟。）可知，选项承接上文说明吃的太快会产生不好的影响。故E选项“这意味着吃得太快的人最终会吃得太多”切题。故选E项。 35．根据下文“One question you can ask yourself is, “Do I eat to live, or live to eat?” It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet.（你可以问自己一个问题:“我是为了活着而吃，还是为了吃而活着?”这取决于你决定你想要如何生活，并对你的饮食做出正确的决定。）”可知，要对食物有个健康的态度。故A选项“以对食物有一个健康的态度开始”切题。故选A项。 （八） （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期末）Do you frequently think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? 36 Simply put, reframing is changing how you see something and then expressing it differently. Below are four strategies to help you get started. 37 You are the author of your thoughts and you assign them through your response. Just like waves in an ocean, some thoughts are strong and others are weak. Don’t hold on or fight unhelpful thoughts, which will take you under. Teach yourself to allow your thoughts to freely come and go. This may help you see the big picture. Look at the situation from an outsider perspective. Remove yourself from the situation by looking at the circumstance from the outside. 38 The perspective can help you put some distance between the circumstance and your emotions, thus helping you look for the best possible solution. Distinguish reality from emotions. Ask yourself, “What are the facts about the situation and what are my feelings?” Emotions can easily steal the attention from reality. 39 By telling the differences and keeping your eye on the supporting facts, you may be able to find a clue and move on to life’s next mystery. Dig through the dirt to find the gold. Challenge yourself to look beyond the darkness to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just like a gold miner, you may have to go through a lot of dirt to get to that priceless little gold. 40 The next time you start to feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed, try to reframe the situation and look at it from a slightly different angle. If you do, you’ll likely end up in a better psychological place. A．Ride the wave. B．Fight the wave. C．They can also make a big deal over nothing. D．If so, then perhaps you could use a little thought reframing. E．Don’t let unhelpful thoughts make you miss a precious opportunity. F．Reframing changes the way you see, think, and respond to situations. G．This will allow you to observe what’s happening from a different angle. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．G 39．C 40．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如果你有这山望着那山高的情况，可以尝试四个策略。 36．根据上文“Do you frequently think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence?(你是否经常认为这山望着那山高？)”以及后文“Simply put, reframing is changing how you see something and then expressing it differently. Below are four strategies to help you get started.(简单地说，重构就是改变你看待事物的方式，然后用不同的方式表达它。下面是帮助你开始的四个策略)”可知，上文设问提到了是否有这山望着那山高的情况，后文指出改变看待事物的方式，可知本句是在肯定上文的问句，故D选项“如果是这样，那么也许你可以稍微重构一下”符合语境，故选D。 37．根据本段内容“You are the author of your thoughts and you assign them through your response. Just like waves in an ocean, some thoughts are strong and others are weak. Don’t hold on or fight unhelpful thoughts, which will take you under. Teach yourself to allow your thoughts to freely come and go. This may help you see the big picture.(你是你思想的作者，你通过你的回应来分配它们。就像海洋里的波浪一样，有些思想很强烈，有些思想很微弱。不要执著或与无益的想法作斗争，它们会把你拖垮。学会让自己的思想自由来去。这可能会帮助你看到大局)”可知，本句为本段的主旨句，结合本段内容主要说明了思想像是海里的波浪，要学会让自己的思想自由来去，即随着波浪起伏来驾驭思想，故A选项“驾驭浪潮”符合语境，故选A。 38．根据上文“Look at the situation from an outsider perspective. Remove yourself from the situation by looking at the circumstance from the outside.(从外部角度看问题。从外部看问题，把自己从问题中抽离出来)”以及后文“The perspective can help you put some distance between the circumstance and your emotions, thus helping you look for the best possible solution.(这种观点可以帮助你在环境和情绪之间保持距离，从而帮助你寻找最好的解决方案)”可知，本句对上文从外部看问题，即从不同的角度看问题，本句是进行进一步解释说明，故G选项“这将使你从不同的角度观察正在发生的事情”符合语境，故选G。 39．根据上文“Distinguish reality from emotions. Ask yourself, “What are the facts about the situation and what are my feelings?” Emotions can easily steal the attention from reality.(区分现实和情绪。问问你自己，“情况的真相是什么？我的感受是什么？”情绪很容易从现实中偷走人们的注意力)”以及后文“By telling the differences and keeping your eye on the supporting facts, you may be able to find a clue and move on to life’s next mystery.(通过区分不同之处并关注支持事实，你可能会找到线索，并继续探索生活中的下一个谜题)”可知，上文提到了情绪导致分散了注意力，后文则提到要支持事实，可知本句在继续说明情绪带来的影响，C选项中They指代上文Emotions。故C选项“他们也可以小题大做”符合语境，故选C。 40．根据上文“Dig through the dirt to find the gold. Challenge yourself to look beyond the darkness to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just like a gold miner, you may have to go through a lot of dirt to get to that priceless little gold.(从泥土中挖出金子来。挑战自己，透过黑暗看到隧道尽头的光明。就像淘金者一样，你可能要穿过很多泥土才能得到那无价的小金子)”可知，上文比喻成淘金者，要穿过很多泥土才能得到那无价的小金子，本句为本段最后一句，说明不应该让无用的想法错过获得“金子”的机会，故E选项“不要让无用的想法让你错过宝贵的机会”符合语境，故选E。 （九） （23-24高二上·广东揭阳·期末）Ways to Save Money on Tech You may be filled with fears when you think about the time your laptop can not work, or your child drops your mobile phone down the toilet. 41 Hopefully from the few tips below you will have some ideas on how to save money when it comes to buying tech.

To leave your comfort zone and be pushed into an entirely new environment, with its own climate, culture, and customs, is a bold move. 51 However, once you overcome these challenges, studying abroad can bring numerous rewards. Unsurprisingly, living and studying in an unfamiliar culture will lead to some degree of culture shock, which can bring about feelings of frustration, homesickness, and maybe even regret. 52 Learning more about the local customs and traditions, for instance, will help you bridge your knowledge gap and better understand the country. Plus, making friends with locals will help relieve your negative feelings. Just like many overseas students, you might face tremendous economic pressure. Apart from considering studying in a more affordable country, managing your finances and budgeting is key. Following some simple finance tips can help you reduce your expenses. 53 Researching the rental prices in different neighborhoods can also save you money in the long run. Another common problem that usually arises is adjusting to the new pace of life. 54 If you leave a bustling Chinese city to a quiet European town, you might feel depressed that things flow a lot slower. On the flip side, you might feel overwhelmed when moving from a leisure environment to a busy one. So what’s the solution? Well, reading up on the way of life in a foreign country beforehand can help you decide whether it is compatible (兼容的) with your personality, goals, and desired lifestyle. After all, you probably wouldn’t choose London if you dislike crowds. Similarly, Spain might be unappealing to you if you like hanging out at night. 55 A．Trying hard to get rid of these negative emotions. B．Embracing your host culture is key to handling it.

This soft ball seemingly only blocks your way to your pills. Adding to the confusion, it’s not any kind of special object. It’s just a common cotton ball. Then what purpose could it possibly serve? 56 The first-ever cotton balls started showing up in pill bottles in the early 1900s. The medical company Bayer was the first one to add them. 57 It worried that the customers might end up taking too much or too little medicine due to the small pieces. Decades later, pill coatings made the cotton balls useless. The coatings on pills ensured they were no longer in danger of breaking apart in the bottle. Bayer itself actually stopped putting cotton balls in the bottles just decades ago. 58 Why? It had become a custom. According to a report, consumers expected to see the cotton balls there and most didn’t know they were useless. 59 They might be an annoyance, surely. But customers have been used to the cotton balls. Many have believed their pills are somehow safer or fresher because of them. 60 The cotton balls don’t preserve quality or freshness in any way. And in fact, they might have the opposite effect. It’s said that the cotton can actually draw moisture (潮气) into the bottle. Too much moisture could affect pills’ effect. A．Actually, the idea is not right. B．They’re out of place and harmful. C．Many other companies, though, still kept them in. D．The truth is that it used to have an important function.

Numerous other studies have shown that hobbies reduce stress, and boost mood, well-being, life satisfaction and even heart health. 66 How do you choose the right hobby? Start with what you enjoyed in the past. 67 Take it up again or start something else which satisfies your competitive spirit or the fun you get from being part of a team, such as a local community group. Try something and if you find it isn’t for you, stop and take up something else. Which leisure activities do good for physical health? It’s clear that exercise can do. Even regular quick walking can bring workout, and it’s sociable too. 68 And a Swedish study found both gardening and DIY could reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke by up to 30 per cent among over-sixties. Which hobbies help you relax? Getting out in nature is great for reducing stress, whether you’re hiking or doing something less active. Yoga can lift mood and ease depression, as well as improve strength and heart health. Music, whether that’s playing the piano or listening to your favourite band, can also relieve depression and anxiety. 69 70 Learning a language or an instrument and reading may lead to a lower risk of dementia (痴呆). Older choir singers have better language ability, showing better cognitive ability, than people of a similar age who don’t sing in a choir, according to a recent Finnish study. Research has found that dancing is also good for your brain. A．Did you once play football? B．Bird-watching can help you stay focused. C．Did you play the piano when you were a child? D．Which spare time activity keep your mind active? E．Scientists think they might help delay dementia as well. F．A 2016 study found creating art reduced stress levels in your mind.
