1.(2022·广东深圳·一模)Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. 1 Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.
2 As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: 3
Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. 4 However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.
What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being. 5 These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.
A.Art therapy is a double-edged sword.
B.Thus, the many benefits of creative self-expression are lost.
C.They develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems.
D.But, obviously, releasing their anger in this way isn't a good choice.
E.Art therapy, in its own ways, can influence a range of human functioning.
F.It can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well-being.
G.However, with art therapists’ help, their energy could be changed into creative products.
2.(21-22高三上·江苏苏州·期中)Keep current with facts about electric cars
Sales of electric vehicles (EV) grew 40 percent last year worldwide. Stateside, nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric. 6 Almost 100 pure-electric vehicles are set to come into the market by the end of 2024. Many manufacturers, including GM, Jeep, and Volvo, have promised to offer fully electric lineups before this decade is done.
7 Tesla's upcoming reimagined Roadster will start at $200,000, while Tesla's current cheapest model is $41,000. Plenty of other EVs are even more affordable. Chevy, Nissan, and Hyundai all offer models for around S30,000. When assessing the cost of an EV, keep in mind that some models will even qualify you for a federal tax credit (联邦税收抵免) of up to $7,500. 8 A typical EV owner spends between $6,000 and $10,000 less than a conventional car owner on vehicle maintenance. One reason: EVs don’t have transmissions or clutches, two of the costliest parts to repair.
There are about 22,000 public charging ports nationwide, a number that is expected to be more than three times by 2023. But for most EV owners, charging at home is the way to go. 9
The average EV gets about 250 miles from a full charge, which is far less than the distance most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank. But EVs are catching up. Tesla comes the closest. Its newer 2021 version gets closer to 500. 10 BMW makes a fast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive time in about six minutes.
A.They'll have options.
B.But electric cars are nothing new.
C.Then there are the long-term savings.
D.Chargingg technology is also improving.
E.Some EVs are still eye-wateringly expensive.
F.The battery is usually the entire floor of the vehicle.
G.It takes longer, but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.
3.(2023·湖南岳阳·二模)Your Brain Was Made For Walking
If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? 11 .
Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. 12 A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-versus on a treadmill-produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase Exercise your creativity, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. 13
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation, the antithesis of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. 14 Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.
15 Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A.Physical movement is unintentional.
B.In fact, you probably do it every day.
C.So why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?
D.That is why walking-with a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.
E.Interrupting your routine with a walk can produce fresh ideas for problems.
F.Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas.
G.Disconnecting from multimedia increases performance on all problem-solving tasks.
4.(23-24高二下·江苏无锡·期中)4 Reasons to Graduate in Agriculture
Attitudes towards agriculture are changing. 16 because it offers them more opportunities than ever before and a chance to make a difference. Let’s take a closer look.
Choose from a wide range of subjects. The field of agriculture is very broad and students can study anything from animal science and land management to horticulture or economics. 17 . Whether students are more interested in the scientific side of agriculture or the more practical and active side, there is a choice to satisfy all different types of learners.
Experience abundant job opportunities. 18 . They don’t just have to go into farming, although they can choose to manage farm or agricultural businesses. They can work in areas like agricultural sales and marketing or get positions in environmental conservation. They can also choose to work in a wide range of environments such as in offices, outdoors or a mixture of both.
19 . In the course of their agricultural studies, students will be exposed to many issues that affect the world today. Students can get involved in research and development work in significant areas like tackling poverty and food insecurity. Skilled graduates will help to shape the response to global needs in different areas by applying their problem-solving skills.
Get paid well. An easy way to reduce the risk of being unemployed after graduation is to become skilled in a field where there’s a shortage. 20 . Agricultural graduates, especially those with master’s degrees, are in demand and therefore have the potential to earn top salaries.
A.Encourage healthy eating habits
B.Address significant modern world issues

5.(23-24高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中)Many companies, including McDonald’s, are removing artificial (人工的) colors from their foods. 21 Colors send important signals about food, and companies are not going to stop using them.
Cheese
Check the packages of most cheeses, and there is likely an ingredient (成分) called annatto (胭脂红) listed. 22 The practice dates back to when cheesemakers in England removed the butterfat from milk to make butter. The leftover milk was whiter, so cheesemakers added annatto to create a golden coloring.
Egg Yolks
Many home cooks think darker egg yolks (蛋黄) are fresher or more nutritious. But the color may be the result of coloring products in chicken feed. 23 Darker yolks aren’t necessarily healthier. The belief that they are healthier is likely rooted in the area that yolks are darker when hens are fed a diet of fresh plants, which contain the pigments (色素).
Salmon
Bright pink flesh may signal freshness to shoppers eyeing salmon, which is why salmon may have been fed synthetic ataxanthin (虾青素). 24 For example, at Costco, tickets of farmed salmon are saying “Color added through feed.”
“People used to get all the coloring all over their fingers. We now kind of laugh at that,” said Richard Matoian, director of a food trade association. 25 Americans, therefore, apparently are not entirely ready to say goodbye to the artificial colors in various kinds of food. Companies are expected to take new measures in response to customer demand.
A.Without it, cheese would be off-white.
B.But producers know the difference colors can make.
C.It’s easy to change yolk colors by simply varying hen’s diet.
D.But don’t expect your cheeseburgers to look much different.
E.Yolk colors vary when chickens live in a different climates as well.
F.Producers are asked to declare on tickets if artificial colors were used.
G.Some companies even offer various shades of pink to help judge fresh colors.
6.(23-24高二上·安徽芜湖·期中)If you’re new in a school or you are shy, making new friends might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome (克服) that challenge by following the tips below.
26 . You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies and then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible. 27 , it can be inviting to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. 28 . If there is music playing, for instance, try saying something like, “I love this song, don’t you?”
Give other people some space. 29 , even if they’re your friends. Don’t expect too much of their time and attention. Be there for them when they need you and continue to extend invitations, but don’t feel upset if they turn you down because they are busy or need some time alone.
Overcome your fear of rejection. One of the biggest difficulties to reach out and make new friends is the fear that we will not be accepted. Try not to take it personally if someone does not accept your invitation. Understand that the rejection may have more to do with who the other person is than it has to do with you. 30 .
A.If you really want to find new friends
B.Spend time around people who show kindness
C.When you’re around someone you don’t know
D.Look for people who have the same hobbies as you
E.Keep in mind that other people have their own lives to focus on
F.Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you
G.Keep stepping out and you will finally find someone who is the right friend for you
7.(17-18高一下·江西赣州·期末)How to listen in English exams
Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.
Relax yourself.
Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 31 If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.
32
As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.
Grasp the main idea.
Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 33
Ignore the new words.
Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 34 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.
Develop the habit of taking notes.
In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 35 By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.
A.Concentrate on listening.
B.The more words you memorize, the better it is.
C.Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.
D.What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.
E.Make a list of what you think is important while listening.
F.Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.
G.If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.
8.(20-21高二下·湖南长沙·期中)To have a comfortable and functional living room, it is important that it should be designed simply. A typical 3D design software gives you options to decide the layout, floor plan and overall appearance of your living room.
36 Once you have started using a 3D interior design software, you need to ask yourself a few basic questions. Do you want to remodel an existing living room, or are you designing a living room for a house that is yet to be constructed? In each case, the challenges and opportunities will be different.
The next thing you need to do is to come up with a floor plan. To do this, enter the measurements of the floor and walls of your living room into the program, which becomes the basic blueprint for your creative living room design. 37 With some information about electrical points, lighting sources, doors and windows entered, the workable space can be clearly defined.
38 Simply select the furniture type and specify its measurements by selecting the required size option. The image will increase or decrease and show you how much space it will occupy in your living room. There is no end of how many versions you can create at this stage since there is no need to physically move your couch or TV set. 39 Within minutes, you can see your revamped (翻新的) living room taking shape right before your eyes.
In the fourth step, add a personal creative touch. You can experiment with different types of customization (定制) to achieve the overall look you want. For example, you can try multiple colors for the walls and different types of flooring and lighting. 40
A.Remodel or construct?
B.All of this happens just by moving your mouse.
C.Now, you can experiment with different layouts.
D.A lot of 3D software comes with ready-made models for floor plans.
E.You should also input all the fixed or immovable parts of the living room.
F.It is entirely up to you as to how you want to visualize your perfect living room.
G.A creative designed living room can be something you impress your guests with.
9.(2022·山东烟台·一模)Adele’s new album, “30”, is finally available. Last month, hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single, “Easy On Me.” This song arouses feelings not easily put into words, but we can probably agree it is a sad song. 41 Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.
Let’s start with a biological theory. When we experience real-life loss, or empathize (体会) with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. 42 They do so by making us feel calmed and supported. Feeling Adele’s pain, or recalling our own, may cause such chemical changes within us.
Psychologically, a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they profoundly move us. Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people. Indeed, when we have listened to “30”, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. 43 And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers feelings of comfort and belonging.
44 Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make. Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them. This is what much sad art does. It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning. As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it, someone who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
Ultimately, we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall, reflect, or belong. They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: 45
A.You are not alone in your pain.
B.Music speaks louder than words.
C.These help us to tackle loss and pain.
D.We can also think at the spiritual level.
E.Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good.
F.This lets us share an emotional experience with others.
G.This may make us better prepared for when real loss strikes.
10.(23-24高二下·河南南阳·阶段练习)The voice within can be your inside guidance system toward development and optimism. But sometimes, that inner dialogue also presents a critical voice that points out shortcomings, limits and concerns. 46
●Identify negative thoughts. 47 So you must first learn how to identify these thoughts to break the bad cycle of negative thought patterns. It is important for you to write down any negative thought that may be coming to your mind. You may replace negative thoughts with healthy ones as you begin to change your way of thinking.
● 48 If you want to live a happy and fulfilling life, it’s vital to surround yourself with people who want to see you do good and support your highest self. Spend a lot of time together with friends who express healthy thoughts and a positive mindset, and then your own thought pattern can be positively influenced.
●Shift your mindset toward growth. A growth mindset is a belief that your talents will develop over time. A person with a growth mindset tends to be less likely to suffer mental health problems than someone with a fixed mindset. People with a fixed mindset tend to become stuck in their ways, with repetitive thoughts circling around their heads. 49 It can guide them toward happiness and success.
●Choose to respond rather than react. Often, when people feel touched, they react without thinking. 50 However, by choosing to respond mindfully rather than react, you are controlling your thoughts in a healthy way. So next time you notice a powerful thought coming up, take a moment to reflect before reacting.

1.根据上文“Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills.(王尔德曾经说过:“当人以自己的身份说话时,就越不是他自己。给他一个面具,他就会告诉你真相。”当人们缺乏语言能力时,艺术提供了一种交流经验的方式)”以及最后一段中“Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.(艺术疗法建立在每个人都有创造力和自我表达能力的假设上)”可知,上文提到人们把艺术当作一种交流经验的方式,后文则提到艺术疗法建立在自我表达能力的假设上,故本句是在说明人们将艺术发展成了一种表达技巧。C选项中expressive对应后文self-expression。故C选项“他们把艺术发展成一种解决问题的表达技巧”最符合语境,故选C。
2.根据后文“As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state.(作为一种恢复性练习,它允许人们用非语言的方式表达自己,比如绘画。即使是45分钟的创造性活动也能改变一个人的精神状态)”可知,后文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态,即艺术可以影响人的功能。故E选项“艺术疗法,以其自身的方式,可以影响一系列的人类功能”最符合语境,故选E。
3.根据上文“Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more(即使是45分钟的创造性活动也能改变一个人的精神状态。与艺术治疗师一起工作甚至可以做得更多)”可知,上文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态,且与艺术治疗师可以做得更多,故本句是在说明艺术还能如何影响人的精神状态。故F选项“它能显著增强积极情绪,提高幸福感”最符合语境,故选F。

They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself.(小孩子通常会画画、唱歌、跳舞,并不担心他们的能力。然而,成年人往往对艺术和艺术创作有复杂的感情。他们开始评估自己的艺术质量,而不是关注自我表现本身)”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出成年人更关注自己的艺术质量的结果:创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了。故B选项“因此,创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了”最符合语境,故选B。
5.根据上文“What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being.(艺术治疗师的超能力是什么?他们可以把危险的想法转化成富有想象力的艺术品。例如,有暴力倾向的人可能会通过打别人来发泄他们的愤怒)”以及后文“These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.( 这些艺术选择在不损害个人安全的情况下满足了大脑对新奇事物的渴望)”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出有暴力倾向的人是如何通过艺术治疗师的帮助,将精力转化成艺术且不伤害别人的,故G选项“然而,在艺术治疗师的帮助下,他们的精力可以转化为创造性的产品”最符合语境,故选G。

14.根据上文“But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation, the antithesis of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. (但风景几乎和汗水一样重要。全国人类活动模式调查显示,美国人87%的时间都在室内度过。待在室内,你更有可能停滞不前,这是能量的对立面。没有能量,你就无法好奇或创造)”以及后文“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. (只要走出去,你就走出了你习惯的环境和你的舒适区,如果你想打开你的心扉,迎接新的可能性,这是必要的)”可知,上文提到待在室内无法培养创造力,后文则建议走出去,可知本句属于过渡句,指出散步的作用:打断你的日常工作可以让你对问题产生新的想法。故E选项“用散步来打断你的日常工作可以让你对问题产生新的想法”符合语境,故选E。
15.根据后文“Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder. (在接下来的四周里,要更密切地接触周围的环境。关掉手机,给自己一个融入世界的机会,去倾听对话和自然的声音,去注意人们移动的方式。走路不只是为了锻炼。为惊奇而行走)”可知,后文主要提出了如何专注地散步,融入世界,且提到“走路不只是为了锻炼。为惊奇而行走”,即设定创造性的目标。故C选项“那么为什么不从步行开始设定一个创造力目标呢?”符合语境,故选C。

5.(23-24高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中)Many companies, including McDonald’s, are removing artificial (人工的) colors from their foods. 21 Colors send important signals about food, and companies are not going to stop using them.
Cheese
Check the packages of most cheeses, and there is likely an ingredient (成分) called annatto (胭脂红) listed. 22 The practice dates back to when cheesemakers in England removed the butterfat from milk to make butter. The leftover milk was whiter, so cheesemakers added annatto to create a golden coloring.
Egg Yolks
Many home cooks think darker egg yolks (蛋黄) are fresher or more nutritious. But the color may be the result of coloring products in chicken feed. 23 Darker yolks aren’t necessarily healthier. The belief that they are healthier is likely rooted in the area that yolks are darker when hens are fed a diet of fresh plants, which contain the pigments (色素).
Salmon
Bright pink flesh may signal freshness to shoppers eyeing salmon, which is why salmon may have been fed synthetic ataxanthin (虾青素). 24 For example, at Costco, tickets of farmed salmon are saying “Color added through feed.”
“People used to get all the coloring all over their fingers. We now kind of laugh at that,” said Richard Matoian, director of a food trade association. 25 Americans, therefore, apparently are not entirely ready to say goodbye to the artificial colors in various kinds of food. Companies are expected to take new measures in response to customer demand.
A.Without it, cheese would be off-white.
B.But producers know the difference colors can make.
C.It’s easy to change yolk colors by simply varying hen’s diet.
D.But don’t expect your cheeseburgers to look much different.
E.Yolk colors vary when chickens live in a different climates as well.
F.Producers are asked to declare on tickets if artificial colors were used.
G.Some companies even offer various shades of pink to help judge fresh colors.

22.空前“Check the packages of most cheeses, and there is likely an ingredient (成分) called annatto (胭脂红)listed.(查一下大多数奶酪的包装,上面可能会列出一种叫做胭脂红的成分。)”说明了奶酪里会有胭脂红,空格处应该说这种色素的作用,A选项“Without it, cheese would be off-white.(没有它,奶酪就会变成灰白色。)”中的it指代的是前面的annatto,cheese和前面的cheese相一致,说明了胭脂红的重要作用,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选A。
23.空前“But the color may be the result of coloring products in chicken feed.(但颜色可能是鸡饲料中的着色产品造成的。)”说明了蛋黄的颜色可能是鸡饲料中的着色产品造成的,空格处应该和改变鸡的食物相关,C选项“It’s easy to change yolk colors by simply varying hen’s diet.(通过简单地改变母鸡的饮食,蛋黄的颜色很容易改变。)”说明了改变鸡的饮食,蛋黄的颜色就会改变,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选C。
24.空后“For example, at Costco, tickets of farmed salmon are saying “Color added through feed.”(例如,在Costco,养殖三文鱼的标签上写着“颜色通过饲料添加”。)”举例说明有的商家在食物的标签上写清楚颜色是来自于哪里,F选项“Producers are asked to declare on tickets if artificial colors were used.(如果使用了人工色素,生产者需要在标签上声明。)”说明了生产者需要在标签上标出色素是来自于哪里的,引出下文的具体例子,因此符合语境,故选F。
25.空后“Americans, therefore, apparently are not entirely ready to say goodbye to the artificial colors in various kinds of food.(因此,美国人显然还没有完全准备好告别各种食品中的人工色素。)”说明了美国人不准备放弃使用人工色素,由therefore可知,空格处应该说为什么美国人不准备放弃使用人工色素,B选项“But producers know the difference colors can make.(但生产者知道色素的重要性。)”说明生产者知道色素的重要性,和后文构成因果关系,因此符合语境,故选B。
6.(23-24高二上·安徽芜湖·期中)If you’re new in a school or you are shy, making new friends might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome (克服) that challenge by following the tips below.
26 . You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies and then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible. 27 , it can be inviting to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy.

If there is music playing, for instance, try saying something like, “I love this song, don’t you?”
Give other people some space. 29 , even if they’re your friends. Don’t expect too much of their time and attention. Be there for them when they need you and continue to extend invitations, but don’t feel upset if they turn you down because they are busy or need some time alone.
Overcome your fear of rejection. One of the biggest difficulties to reach out and make new friends is the fear that we will not be accepted. Try not to take it personally if someone does not accept your invitation. Understand that the rejection may have more to do with who the other person is than it has to do with you. 30 .

7.(17-18高一下·江西赣州·期末)How to listen in English exams
Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.
Relax yourself.
Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 31 If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.
32
As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.
Grasp the main idea.
Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 33
Ignore the new words.
Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 34 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.
Develop the habit of taking notes.
In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 35 By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.
A.Concentrate on listening.
B.The more words you memorize, the better it is.
C.Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.
D.What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.
E.Make a list of what you think is important while listening.
F.Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.
G.If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.

8.(20-21高二下·湖南长沙·期中)To have a comfortable and functional living room, it is important that it should be designed simply. A typical 3D design software gives you options to decide the layout, floor plan and overall appearance of your living room.
36 Once you have started using a 3D interior design software, you need to ask yourself a few basic questions. Do you want to remodel an existing living room, or are you designing a living room for a house that is yet to be constructed? In each case, the challenges and opportunities will be different.
The next thing you need to do is to come up with a floor plan. To do this, enter the measurements of the floor and walls of your living room into the program, which becomes the basic blueprint for your creative living room design. 37 With some information about electrical points, lighting sources, doors and windows entered, the workable space can be clearly defined.
38 Simply select the furniture type and specify its measurements by selecting the required size option. The image will increase or decrease and show you how much space it will occupy in your living room. There is no end of how many versions you can create at this stage since there is no need to physically move your couch or TV set. 39 Within minutes, you can see your revamped (翻新的) living room taking shape right before your eyes.
In the fourth step, add a personal creative touch. You can experiment with different types of customization (定制) to achieve the overall look you want. For example, you can try multiple colors for the walls and different types of flooring and lighting. 40
A.Remodel or construct?
B.All of this happens just by moving your mouse.
C.Now, you can experiment with different layouts.
D.A lot of 3D software comes with ready-made models for floor plans.
E.You should also input all the fixed or immovable parts of the living room.
F.It is entirely up to you as to how you want to visualize your perfect living room.
G.A creative designed living room can be something you impress your guests with.
【答案】36.A 37.E 38.C 39.B 40.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一个可用于装修的3D设计软件的用法,这个软件让人们自己决定喜欢的布局和客厅的整体外观。
36.根据空后的“Do you want to remodel an existing living room, or are you designing a living room for a house that is yet to be constructed?(你是想改造一个现有的客厅,还是你正在为一个尚未建成的房子设计一个客厅?)”可知,该段提出翻修和设计建造客厅的考量是不同的,要先确定是哪一种情况,故A项“Remodel or construct?(改造或建设?)”符合语境。故选A。
37.根据上文的“enter the measurements of the floor and walls of your living room into the program(在程序中输入客厅地板和墙壁的尺寸)”以及下文的“With some information about electrical points, lighting sources, doors and windows entered, the workable space can be clearly defined.(通过输入电气点、光源、门窗等信息,可以清晰地界定可操作空间)”可知,首先要输入房间的尺寸,也要输入电源、光源、门窗的相关信息,故可推知E项“You should also input all the fixed or immovable parts of the living room.(你还应该输入客厅所有固定或不可移动的部分)”符合语境。E项中的input与文中的enter属于同义表达,fixed or immovable parts是对空后的electrical points,lighting sources,doors andwindows的概括。故选E。
38.空格处是本段主题句,根据空后的“Simply select the furniture type and specify its measurements by selecting the required size option.(只需选择家具类型,并通过选择所需的尺寸选项指定其尺寸)”可知,此时可以选择不同种类和尺寸的家具了,故可推知该段主要介绍利用该软件尝试不同的客厅布局,C选项“Now, you can experiment with different layouts.(现在,你可以尝试不同的布局)”概括了本段内容,可作为本段主题句,故选C。
39.根据空前的“there is no need to physically move your couch or TV set(没有必要移动你的沙发或电视机)”可知,不需要真正地移动家具;再由空后的“Within minutes, you can see your revamped (翻新的) living room taking shape right before your eyes.(几分钟之内,你就能看到改造后的客厅就在你眼前成形)”可知,几分钟内就能看到翻新的客厅,所以此处是说利用该软件尝试不同的布局只需通过移动鼠标实现,B选项“All of this happens just by moving your mouse.(这一切只需要移动你的鼠标)”承上启下,符合语境,故选B。
40.根据本段中的“add a personal creative touch(增加个人的创造性)”可知,本段主要讲客厅装修可以加入一些自己的风格。空格处位干段尾,总结概括本段内容,说明装修成什么样的完美客厅完全取决于你自己,故F项“It is entirely up to you as to how you want to visualize your perfect living room.(这完全取决于你想如何想象你的完美客厅。)”符合语境,“It is entirely up to(完全取决于)”为解题关键。故选F。
9.(2022·山东烟台·一模)Adele’s new album, “30”, is finally available. Last month, hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single, “Easy On Me.” This song arouses feelings not easily put into words, but we can probably agree it is a sad song. 41 Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.
Let’s start with a biological theory. When we experience real-life loss, or empathize (体会) with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. 42 They do so by making us feel calmed and supported. Feeling Adele’s pain, or recalling our own, may cause such chemical changes within us.
Psychologically, a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they profoundly move us. Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people. Indeed, when we have listened to “30”, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. 43 And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers feelings of comfort and belonging.
44 Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make. Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them. This is what much sad art does. It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning. As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it, someone who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
Ultimately, we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall, reflect, or belong. They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: 45
A.You are not alone in your pain.
B.Music speaks louder than words.
C.These help us to tackle loss and pain.
D.We can also think at the spiritual level.
E.Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good.
F.This lets us share an emotional experience with others.
G.This may make us better prepared for when real loss strikes.
【答案】41.E 42.C 43.F 44.D 45.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从三个角度介绍了悲伤的音乐确实能让我们振作起来的原因。
41.根据后文“Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.(然而悲伤的音乐确实能让我们振作起来。)”可知,人们没有意识到悲伤的音乐的积极作用。E选项“Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good. (很少有人意识到悲伤的音乐让我们感觉很好。)”符合题意,故选E。
42.根据前文“When we experience real-life loss, or empathize with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. (当我们经历现实生活中的失落,或同情他人的痛苦时,我们体内会释放某些激素。)”可知,本段介绍的是体内的激素对于我们情感修复的作用。C选项“These help us to tackle loss and pain. (这些帮助我们处理损失和痛苦。)”符合题意,故选C。
43.根据前文“Indeed, when we have listened to “30”, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. (事实上,当我们听了《30》,我们可能会转向反应视频,看看其他人是什么感觉。)”和后文“And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers feelings of comfort and belonging.(它能激发我们被感动的感觉,激发我们的舒适感和归属感。)”可知,听悲伤的歌曲有助于我们去分享情感。F选项“This lets us share an emotional experience with others. (这让我们与他人分享情感体验。)”符合题意,故选F。
44.根据后文“Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make. (阿黛尔的歌曲让我们从她帮助我们创造的意义的角度来看待快乐。)”可知,本段介绍的是悲伤歌曲带给我们精神层面的感悟。D选项“We can also think at the spiritual level. (我们也可以在精神层面上思考。)”符合题意,故选D。
45.根据前文“They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: (他们让我们感受她的悲伤,分享我们的痛苦,并与他人联系。对我们所有人来说,阿黛尔的歌中写道:)”可知,本段介绍的是通过听阿黛尔的歌,分享痛苦,悲伤不再是一个人的。A选项“You are not alone in your pain. (你不是一个人在承受痛苦。)”符合题意,故选A。

●Identify negative thoughts. 47 So you must first learn how to identify these thoughts to break the bad cycle of negative thought patterns. It is important for you to write down any negative thought that may be coming to your mind. You may replace negative thoughts with healthy ones as you begin to change your way of thinking.
● 48 If you want to live a happy and fulfilling life, it’s vital to surround yourself with people who want to see you do good and support your highest self.
