However, with the right approach, you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others. Pick a specific theme or idea.

Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. 1 When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 2 Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 3 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. 4 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. 5 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A．Higher education has achieved its true potential. B．Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C．Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D．However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching. E．Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F．They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G．In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. （三） （黑龙江齐齐哈尔八校联考2022-2023高二下期末试题） Is it likely that your siblings (兄弟姐妹) fought like cats and dogs with you when you were younger? 1 Here’s why. Siblings can help you have a healthier lifestyle. This is supported by a study that surveyed more than 15, 000 people. 2 Brothers and sisters are readily available fitness and healthy-eating friends. That can only be a bonus when you reach adulthood. 3 According to a study among 395 families, scientists found that having siblings made you more likely to do good deeds. It could be that having a same-generation relative encourages you to think about others, which can lead to greater life satisfaction, and fewer depressive symptoms. Brothers and sisters improve your chances of a happy marriage. Research found that the more siblings you have, the lower your chance of getting divorced (离婚) is. In fact, for each additional one, your risk of marriage breakdown was three per cent less. 4 . Having good friends can bring many of the same benefits. 5 Don’t panic. Research also shows that having close friends can boost your health, well-being and longevity (寿命).

For decades, Hayes has been investigating the role of effort, practice and knowledge in top performers. 2 The research focused on people like Mozart and Picasso-to determine how long it took them to become world-class at their craft. Let’s talk about what Hayes has discovered about world-class-performers. And more importantly, let’s discuss how you can use these insights to achieve your goals and become your best. 3 He analyzed thousands of musical pieces produced from 1685 to 1900. The central question that drove his work was, “How long after one becomes interested in music is it that one becomes world-class?” Eventually, Hayes developed a list of 500 pieces of “masterworks” in the field, which were created by a total of 76 composers. Hayes mapped out the timeline of each composers career. 4 What he discovered was that virtually every single “masterwork” was written after the tenth year of the composer’s career. Not a single person produced incredible work without putting in a decade of practice first. Even a genius like Mozart had to work for at least ten years before he produced something that became popular. 5 In follow-up studies, Hayes found similar patterns among famous painters and popular poets. These findings have been further confirmed by research from professors like K. Anders Ericsson, who produced research that revealed that you needed to put in “10, 000 hours” to become an elite or expert in your field. A．It takes time to achieve your goals. B．And what do people like doing in their spare time? C．He has studied the most talented creators in history. D．Hayes started his research by examining successful composers E．Professor Hayes began to refer to this period as the “ten years of silence”. F．And what do the successful people do differently than the rest of us? G．And then he calculated how long they had been working before they created their popular works. （六） （黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市2023-2024高二下期末试题） Things To Remember On Your First Solo Travel Adventure If you’ve ever thought about just taking a trip yourself instead of waiting for someone to join you, you’re not alone. 1 However, do you count yourself among the many who have tried it?

It will help you pick up your journal even at times when you really don’t feel like it. 2 She describes creating this method so she could use it as a creative planning tool for her writing projects and goals. While it was originally aimed at writers, you can use this technique to help you complete any project in a fun and creative way. 3 Here’s how it works. Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising. 4 These are what SARK refers to as the MicroMOVEments. Each MicroMOVEment is five minutes in length. So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day. Let’s say you’ re new to journalling. By setting aside five minutes out of your day, you could write one word in your notebook that sums up a feeling or an experience. 5 The idea of the MicroMOVEment is to create easy steps to get your journal writing or writing projects moving. When you keep the steps small, it will become doable and achievable. A．Next, divide the rest of the circle into eight equal parts. B．It is the brainchild of international bestselling writer SARK.

This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there. 1 Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage — to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture. This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. 2 That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. 3 ” The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. 4 Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience. 5 Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand. A．And that’s not all. B．These games are also available to players overseas. C．However, these early attempts were described as “vague” (含糊的). D．Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players. E．Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out. F．Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game. G．It increases the number of channels available to spread knowledge about our cultural heritage. （十一） （黑龙江省大庆中学2023-2024高二下期末试题） Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day? Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks? 1 No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn’t change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly? It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It’s a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks. 2 Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 3 . Once you start Time Blocking, you’ll overcome this shortcoming. 4 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list. 5 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as you are only working on one specific task at a time. A．I used to be in the same boat. B．I believe you have encountered questions like this C．The benefits of Time Blocking are considerable. D．You work your way down the priority list and everything goes as planned. E．You can regard it as a combination of a To-do list and a Calendar schedule. F．You’ll need to be very specific about what you’re planning to do in that time block. G．While it sounds logical, it makes you jump between different kinds of tasks without focus. （十二） （黑龙江省佳木斯市三校联考2023-2024高二下期末联考试题） Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. 1 If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue with your parents. 2 Your parents possibly won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). 3 You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 4 Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. 5 A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try. A．Try to keep away from your parents.

F．They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G．In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．G 4．B 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择高校提供了一些建议。 1．根据空前内容“It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.(对于美国的学生和他们的家人来说，这是一年中既快乐又紧张的时刻，因为他们要决定去哪里上大学。家庭经常求助于排名系统来帮助做决定。)”可知，美国的学生和家人们在决定去哪儿上大学时，经常求助于排名系统。而根据下文第三段“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. (最新的研究表明，排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”可推断出，本文主要讲述的是排名方面出现的问题。选项D“However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.(然而，排名忽略了一个关键因素：教学质量。)”延续上文内容，指出大学排名存在的问题；而根据下文内容也可以推断，排名中存在的问题是教学质量被忽略。故选D。 2．根据空前内容“When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.(作为一名研究高等教育的学者，当我与一些家庭交谈时，他们常常惊讶地发现，优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名。)”可知，大学排名中优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名让人们觉得很惊讶。选项F“They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.(更让他们惊讶的是，大学竟然低估了教学的价值。)”延续上文内容，指的都是大学排名忽略教学质量。其中“more surprised”和上文的“surprised”保持一致。故选F。 3．空前内容“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.(最新的研究表明，排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”以及空后内容“The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.(考虑到高质量教学与学生成功之间的联系，排名中没有优秀教学令人惊讶。优质教学是衡量大学成绩的最重要因素之一。)”讲述的都是大学排名中没有考虑到教学。选项G“In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.(事实上，大学经常把重点从教学转移到其他排名因素上。)”与上下文内容相一致，故选G。 4．根据空前内容“Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding.(然而，排名只是高等教育中对教学重视程度较低的一个原因。管理者通常不会将卓越的教学视为增加入学率或资金的一种方式。)”可知，上文分析了教学不被纳入排名的原因，该空应该讲其后果。选项B“Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.(因此，它在招聘或晋升中不受重视。)”是上文内容的延续，正因为管理人员通常不把卓越的教学视为增加入学率或增加资金的一种方式，所以教学在招聘和晋升中不受重视。故选B。 5．根据下文内容“Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.(尽管如此，在拥有高质量教学的学校获得更多资源、更高排名和增加入学人数之前，不会有太大变化。从长远来看，大学、学校排名组织和其他机构应该努力使教学成为使命的一个有价值的核心部分。)”可知，此处算是站在大学的角度，提出如何把教学当成他们的首要核心任务。根据“Nevertheless”可知，空处内容和下文内容存在转折关系。选项E“Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.(在最近，努力改进教学水平的现象已经出现了。)”与下文形成转折，旨在说明，促使教学成为核心任务的艰巨性和重要性。故选E。 （三） （黑龙江齐齐哈尔八校联考2022-2023高二下期末试题） Is it likely that your siblings (兄弟姐妹) fought like cats and dogs with you when you were younger? 1 Here’s why. Siblings can help you have a healthier lifestyle. This is supported by a study that surveyed more than 15, 000 people. 2 Brothers and sisters are readily available fitness and healthy-eating friends. That can only be a bonus when you reach adulthood. 3 According to a study among 395 families, scientists found that having siblings made you more likely to do good deeds. It could be that having a same-generation relative encourages you to think about others, which can lead to greater life satisfaction, and fewer depressive symptoms. Brothers and sisters improve your chances of a happy marriage. Research found that the more siblings you have, the lower your chance of getting divorced (离婚) is. In fact, for each additional one, your risk of marriage breakdown was three per cent less. 4 . Having good friends can bring many of the same benefits. 5 Don’t panic. Research also shows that having close friends can boost your health, well-being and longevity (寿命). Make friends by signing up to groups or classes and finding people who enjoy the same things as you do. A．That bond is vital as you enter old age. B．Siblings can protect you from depression.

G．Most of them credited their siblings for having the biggest impact on their health. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．C 4．F 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了拥有兄弟姐妹的诸多好处。 1．D选项“但它们实际上可以促进你的身心健康。”与上文“Is it likely that your siblings (兄弟姐妹) fought like cats and dogs with you when you were younger? (在你小的时候，你的兄弟姐妹会像猫狗一样跟你打架吗)”形成转折关系，承接下文“Siblings can help you have a healthier lifestyle. (兄弟姐妹可以帮助你拥有更健康的生活方式)”和“Brothers and sisters improve your chances of a happy marriage. (兄弟姐妹会增加你幸福婚姻的机会)”讲拥有兄弟姐妹的好处。故选D项。 2．G选项“他们中的大多数人认为他们的兄弟姐妹对他们的健康影响最大。”承接上文“Siblings can help you have a healthier lifestyle. This is supported by a study that surveyed more than 15, 000 people. (兄弟姐妹可以帮助你拥有更健康的生活方式。这得到了一项调查15000多人的研究的支持)”和下文“Brothers and sisters are readily available fitness and healthy-eating friends. (兄弟姐妹是随时准备健身和健康饮食的朋友)”讲拥有兄弟姐妹有助于个人身体健康的改善。故选G项。 3．C选项“有兄弟姐妹会让你做出慈善行为。”引出拥有兄弟姐妹的另一个好处——促使你去行善，引出下文“According to a study among 395 families, scientists found that having siblings made you more likely to do good deeds. (根据对395个家庭的研究，科学家发现有兄弟姐妹会让你更有可能做好事)”讲用科学研究表明兄弟姐妹促使你行善的益处。故选C项。 4．该空起总结本段的作用。由上文“Brothers and sisters improve your chances of a happy marriage. Research found that the more siblings you have, the lower your chance of getting divorced (离婚) is. In fact, for each additional one, your risk of marriage breakdown was three per cent less. (兄弟姐妹会增加你幸福婚姻的机会。研究发现，兄弟姐妹越多，离婚的几率越低。事实上，每增加一个兄弟姐妹，你的婚姻破裂风险就会降低3%)”可知，上文讲拥有兄弟姐妹能使你在亲密关系中更幸福，遇到的棘手情况（例如离婚）会更少，承接上文，F选项“有兄弟姐妹有助于更好地处理亲密关系中的棘手情况。”切题。故选F项。 5．E选项“我们并不是都有兄弟姐妹，或者你可能住得离你兄弟姐妹很远。”与上文“Having good friends can bring many of the same benefits. (有好朋友可以带来许多相同的好处)”形成转折关系，表明没有兄弟姐妹也没关系，拥有朋友也会产生一些相同的好处。故选E项。 （四） （黑龙江省绥化市绥棱县第一中学2023-2024高二下期末试题） Four habits to live a happier life Having a happier life is something we all always struggle for,and being happy includes so many aspects—mental,physical and spiritual—of our lives.One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness. 1 Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.

For decades, Hayes has been investigating the role of effort, practice and knowledge in top performers. 2 The research focused on people like Mozart and Picasso-to determine how long it took them to become world-class at their craft. Let’s talk about what Hayes has discovered about world-class-performers. And more importantly, let’s discuss how you can use these insights to achieve your goals and become your best. 3 He analyzed thousands of musical pieces produced from 1685 to 1900. The central question that drove his work was, “How long after one becomes interested in music is it that one becomes world-class?” Eventually, Hayes developed a list of 500 pieces of “masterworks” in the field, which were created by a total of 76 composers. Hayes mapped out the timeline of each composers career. 4 What he discovered was that virtually every single “masterwork” was written after the tenth year of the composer’s career. Not a single person produced incredible work without putting in a decade of practice first. Even a genius like Mozart had to work for at least ten years before he produced something that became popular. 5 In follow-up studies, Hayes found similar patterns among famous painters and popular poets. These findings have been further confirmed by research from professors like K. Anders Ericsson, who produced research that revealed that you needed to put in “10, 000 hours” to become an elite or expert in your field. A．It takes time to achieve your goals. B．And what do people like doing in their spare time? C．He has studied the most talented creators in history. D．Hayes started his research by examining successful composers E．Professor Hayes began to refer to this period as the “ten years of silence”. F．And what do the successful people do differently than the rest of us? G．And then he calculated how long they had been working before they created their popular works. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．D 4．G 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了John Hayes教授对于成为顶级精英所需时间的研究。通过分析莫扎特、毕加索等大师的作品，Hayes发现几乎所有杰作都是在创作者生涯的第十年后诞生的，强调了“十年沉默期”的重要性 1．上文“How long does it take to become an elite (精英) in your field?(成为你所在领域的精英需要多长时间？)”以及下文“That’s what John Hayes, a cognitive psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to know.(这正是卡内基梅隆大学认知心理学教授John Hayes想要知道的)”说明John Hayes想要知道需要多久能成为所在领域的精英。空处和前文并列提出关于精英的问题，并引出下文。F项“成功人士与我们其他人有什么不同之处？”符合语境。故选F。 2．上文“For decades, Hayes has been investigating the role of effort, practice and knowledge in top performers.(几十年来，海斯一直在研究努力、实践和知识在优秀员工中的作用)”说明Hayes教授多年研究顶尖表现者所付出的努力、练习和知识的作用。空处顺接前文，继续说明他的研究特点或范围，并引出下文。C项中的He指代前文中的Hayes，“the most talented creators ”和下文中的“people like Mozart and Picasso”相呼应，所以C项“他研究了历史上最有才华的创作者。”符合语境。故选C。 3．下文“He analyzed thousands of musical pieces produced from 1685 to 1900. The central question that drove his work was, “How long after one becomes interested in music is it that one becomes world-class?”(他分析了1685年至1900年间创作的数千首乐曲。推动他工作的核心问题是，“一个人对音乐感兴趣多久后，他才能成为世界级的？”)”说明本段主要介绍了John Hayes研究了世界级表演者，以及如何利用这些见解实现目标。所以D项“海斯的研究始于考察成功的作曲家”符合语境，适合引出本段，该项中的“by examining successful composers”和下文中的“He analyzed thousands of musical pieces”相呼应。故选D。 4．上文“Hayes mapped out the timeline of each composers career. (海斯为每一位作曲家的职业生涯绘制了时间表)”说明Hayes绘制了每位作曲家的职业生涯时间线。空处顺承上文，进一步描述他之后的分析步骤。G项中的they 指代前文中的“composers”，说明John Hayes计算了他们创作流行作品之前工作了多长时间。所以G项“然后他计算了他们创作流行作品之前工作了多长时间。”符合语境。故选G。 5．上文“Not a single person produced incredible work without putting in a decade of practice first. Even a genius like Mozart had to work for at least ten years before he produced something that became popular.(没有一个人在不先投入十年实践的情况下创作出令人难以置信的作品。即使是像莫扎特这样的天才，也必须工作至少十年才能创作出受欢迎的作品)”说明几乎所有“杰作”都是在作曲家职业生涯的第十年后产生的。空处对前面的现象进行总结性命名。E项中的“this period”指代前文中的“work for at least ten years before he produced something that became popular”，所以E项“海斯教授开始将这段时期称为“沉默的十年”。”符合语境。故选E。 （六） （黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市2023-2024高二下期末试题） Things To Remember On Your First Solo Travel Adventure If you’ve ever thought about just taking a trip yourself instead of waiting for someone to join you, you’re not alone. 1 However, do you count yourself among the many who have tried it?

This is not to say that lying is acceptable, but the less parents take it personally, the more they can calmly and constructively help their child. Children and teens who fall into anxiety easily will use lying as an unhealthy coping strategy. What should a parent or caregiver do? Try to keep in mind that kids can be quite self-absorbed and they often don’t understand how hurtful lies can be. With this in mind, here are a few tips to help promote truthfulness in your child at any age. 3 If you overreact, then you are just building a barrier between you and your child, Calmly discuss or lecture about honesty and dishonesty and why they chose to lie. 4 Your understanding may not be able to stop your teen from creating those everyday lies, but you can convey that there are other options available.

It will help you pick up your journal even at times when you really don’t feel like it. 2 She describes creating this method so she could use it as a creative planning tool for her writing projects and goals. While it was originally aimed at writers, you can use this technique to help you complete any project in a fun and creative way. 3 Here’s how it works. Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising. 4 These are what SARK refers to as the MicroMOVEments. Each MicroMOVEment is five minutes in length. So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day. Let’s say you’ re new to journalling. By setting aside five minutes out of your day, you could write one word in your notebook that sums up a feeling or an experience. 5 The idea of the MicroMOVEment is to create easy steps to get your journal writing or writing projects moving. When you keep the steps small, it will become doable and achievable. A．Next, divide the rest of the circle into eight equal parts. B．It is the brainchild of international bestselling writer SARK. C．There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to journalling. D．Where to start and not having enough time were amongst the top responses. E．Daily tasks such as sweeping and washing are time-consuming and laborious. F．Then, list any associated words, images or thoughts that are generated by the word. G．The medicine with this approach is breaking your actions down into the tiniest steps. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．G 4．A 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为The MicroMOVEment Wheel的方法可以让人坚持写日记。 1．根据上文“Recently, I carried out an investigation to discover what it was that prevented people from journalling.(最近，我进行了一项调查，以发现是什么阻碍了人们写日记)”可知，本句应承接上文，说明调查阻碍人们写日记问题的回答。故D选项“从哪里开始和没有足够的时间是最主要的回答”符合语境，故选D。 2．根据上一段“So, today, I want to introduce a very simple tool—The MicroMOVEment Wheel. It will help you pick up your journal even at times when you really don’t feel like it.(所以，今天，我想介绍一个非常简单的工具——微动轮。它会帮助你拿起你的日记，即使有时你真的不喜欢它)”后文“She describes creating this method so she could use it as a creative planning tool for her writing projects and goals. While it was originally aimed at writers, you can use this technique to help you complete any project in a fun and creative way.(她描述了创造这种方法，以便她可以将其作为写作项目和目标的创造性规划工具。虽然它最初是针对作家的，但您可以使用此技术以有趣和创造性的方式帮助您完成任何项目)”可知，本句主要是在说明上文提到的MicroMOVEment是谁提出的，B选项SARK对应后文She。故B选项“它是国际畅销书作家SARK的创意”符合语境，故选B。 3．根据后文“Here’s how it works. Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day.

(所以，在写日记的情况下，这意味着在任何一天，一次至少要写5分钟的日记)”可知，本段主要介绍了工作原理，且后文提到了写日记的小步骤，可推测是把写日记的动作进行分解，故G选项“这种方法的妙处是把你的行动分解成最微小的步骤”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据上文“Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising.(拿一张白纸，画一个大圆圈，然后在中间再画一个小圆圈。在中间的圆圈里，写下你想要实现的目标。记住，写日记不需要让你觉得每天都是一件苦差事。所以，为你的日记想出一个鼓舞人心、充满活力的描述)”以及后文“These are what SARK refers to as the MicroMOVEments. Each MicroMOVEment is five minutes in length. So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day.(这就是SARK所说的微运动。每个MicroMOVEment的长度为5分钟。所以，在写日记的情况下，这意味着在任何一天，一次至少要写5分钟的日记)”可知，上文提到了画圆，在中间的圆圈里，写下你想要实现的目标，故本句应当是在说明接下来的步骤。故A选项“接下来，把剩下的圆分成8等份”符合语境，故选A。 5．根据上文“Let’s say you’ re new to journalling. By setting aside five minutes out of your day, you could write one word in your notebook that sums up a feeling or an experience.(假设你刚开始写日记。每天抽出五分钟，你可以在笔记本上写下一个词来总结你的感受或经历)”以及后文“The idea of the MicroMOVEment is to create easy steps to get your journal writing or writing projects moving.(微运动的理念是创造简单的步骤，让你的日记写作或写作项目动起来)”可知，上文提到了第一步，故本句是在说明接下来该怎么做，故F选项“然后，列出与这个词相关的单词、图像或想法”符合语境，故选F。 （十） （黑龙江省牡丹江市第一高级中学2023-2024高二下期末试题） Engaging with the past Imagine you’re at home, you start a role-playing game where you can enjoy views of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival, completing set tasks along the Qinhuai River. This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there. 1 Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage — to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture. This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. 2 That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. 3 ” The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. 4 Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience. 5 Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand. A．And that’s not all. B．These games are also available to players overseas. C．However, these early attempts were described as “vague” (含糊的). D．Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players. E．Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out. F．Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game. G．It increases the number of channels available to spread knowledge about our cultural heritage. 【答案】1．A 2．F 3．G 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文属于说明文。主要介绍了一种创新方式，即通过网络游戏使玩家接触和了解中国传统文化，旨在向年轻玩家及海外玩家传播中国文化。 1．上文“This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there.(这是无需亲临其境就能通过电子游戏享受中国传统文化的方式之一)”说明通过角色扮演的游戏方式只是通过游戏享受中国文化的其中一种方式，还会有更进一步的举措，下文“Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible(非物质的)cultural heritage—to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture.(完美世界游戏，一家在线游戏公司，最近邀请了一批包括敦煌研究院设计师陈海涛、龙泉剑非物质文化遗产传承人周显光等遗产专家到北京讨论推广中国传统文化的新方法)”说明了游戏公司邀请文化遗产专家讨论新方式来推广中国传统文化的例子。空处承上启下，A项“不仅如此”既承接上文的通过电子游戏享受中国传统文化的方式之一，暗示有更多的例子或措施将会被提及，又引出下文的其他例子或影响，A项符合语境。故选A。 2．上文“They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game.(这些设计保留了唐代所用剑的特点，但吸收了源自游戏的仙侠和骑士主题元素)”说明了周先生为游戏设计的剑保留了唐代剑的特征并融入了游戏角色的元素，F项“Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game.(另外，敦煌壁画中的一些人物形象也被植入该手机游戏中)”进一步阐述了游戏中如何融入传统文化元素，增加了游戏的文化深度，与上文形成递进关系，符合语境。故选F。 3．上文“Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. (由于游戏受到年轻人的欢迎，我们可以在他们玩乐的同时，使他们熟悉传统文化)”说明通过游戏可以让年轻人在玩的同时熟悉传统文化，G项“这一做法拓宽了传播文化遗产知识的渠道”恰当地总结了这种做法的积极影响，即拓宽了文化传播途径，符合语境。故选G。 4．上文“The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago.(将游戏与文化遗产相结合的趋势始于几十年前)”及下文“Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience.(传统文化一度仅仅作为游戏情节的背景存在，未能提供详尽的体验)”说明了将游戏与文化遗产结合的趋势早已开始，但是存在一定的不足，空处承上启下，C项“然而，早年的尝试常被描述为‘概念模糊’”与上文形成转折关系，既承接了上文提到的游戏与传统文化结合的趋势，在时间上与上文相符，转而描述过去尝试的不足，又引出了下文对过去尝试的具体描述，其中的“vague(含糊的)”与下文的“failed to offer a detailed experience”相呼应，所以C项符合语境。故选C。 5．下文“Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand.(一些海外玩家也对中国文化抱有浓厚兴趣，但可能会发现理解起来太过困难。因此，公司努力以他们熟悉的方式传递文化，以便帮助他们更好地理解)”说明了海外玩家对中国文化的兴趣，空处内容应有关于这些游戏的对象拓展到了海外玩家，B项“这些游戏也面向海外玩家开放”很好地与下文衔接，表明了此类游戏不仅限于国内，也在向国际推广，自然引出了下文关于如何适应海外市场的策略，所以B项符合语境。故选B。 （十一） （黑龙江省大庆中学2023-2024高二下期末试题） Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day? Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks? 1 No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn’t change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly? It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It’s a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks. 2 Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 3 . Once you start Time Blocking, you’ll overcome this shortcoming. 4 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list. 5 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as you are only working on one specific task at a time. A．I used to be in the same boat. B．I believe you have encountered questions like this C．The benefits of Time Blocking are considerable. D．You work your way down the priority list and everything goes as planned. E．You can regard it as a combination of a To-do list and a Calendar schedule. F．You’ll need to be very specific about what you’re planning to do in that time block. G．While it sounds logical, it makes you jump between different kinds of tasks without focus. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．G 4．F 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种时间管理技巧“时间保护”，介绍了其操作方式以及好处。 1．根据上文“Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day? Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks?(你是否曾经抱怨过一天的时间不够用？你是否经常发现自己不能按时完成分配给你的任务？)”以及后文“No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn’t change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly?(无论我多么努力地保持专注和高效，每天的任务总是堆积如山。这种情况一直没有改变，直到我发现了“时间保护”，从那时起，我的日常安排就变得更好了。那么它到底是什么呢？)”可知，后文提到了作者自己也经历过时间不够用的情况，即作者以前也是时间不够用。故A选项“我以前也是这样”符合语境，故选A。 2．根据上文“It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It’s a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks.(这是一种简单的时间管理技巧，你可以把一天的时间分成几个时间段，专门处理特定的任务或任务组。这是一种流行的方法，可以提高你的工作效率，让你专注于你的任务)”可知，上文介绍了一种时间管理技巧，且提到了“把一天的时间分成几个时间段，专门处理特定的任务或任务组”，即把待办事项列表和日历计划相结合，故E选项“你可以把它看作是待办事项列表和日历计划的结合”符合语境，故选E。 3．根据上文“Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app.(想象一下，明天有十几个任务要完成。像大多数人一样，你打开你选择的待办事项应用程序，整齐地列出你计划做的所有事情，然后在你的日历应用程序中安排一些重要的会议和提醒)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应对上文的做法进行总结：这听起来合乎逻辑，但它会让你在不同的任务之间跳来跳去，无法集中注意力。故G选项“虽然这听起来合乎逻辑，但它会让你在不同的任务之间跳来跳去，无法集中注意力”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据上文“Once you start Time Blocking, you’ll overcome this shortcoming.(一旦你开始“时间保护”，你就会克服这个缺点)”以及后文“The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list.(你的任务越具体，你就越专注，也就越有效率。一个合理安排的时间表比任何形式的任务清单都要有效得多)”可知，本句主要说明是如何通过“时间保护”克服这个缺点的，F选项中specific对应后文specific。故F选项“你需要非常具体地说明你在那段时间内计划做什么”符合语境，故选F。 5．根据后文“It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as you are only working on one specific task at a time.(它不仅使你的待办事项清单更易于管理，而且还能让你更好地控制你的一天，提高你的效率。一天中的每一项任务或一组任务都是你在这个时间框架内完成的一个小目标，这样你就更有决心在最后期限前完成目标。它还能提高你的注意力，帮助你摆脱拖延症，因为你一次只做一件特定的任务)”可知，本段的主旨主要关于时间保护带来的好处。故C选项“时间保护的好处是相当可观的”符合语境，故选C。 （十二） （黑龙江省佳木斯市三校联考2023-2024高二下期末联考试题） Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. 1 If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue with your parents. 2 Your parents possibly won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). 3 You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 4 Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. 5 A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try. A．Try to keep away from your parents. B．Many children don’t respect their parents. C．Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. D．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. E．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. F．Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. G．Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．E 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个消除父母和孩子之间代沟的办法。 1．上文“Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true.(有些人认为只有学龄儿童才不同意父母的意见。然而，事实并非如此。)”提出有人认为只有学龄儿童才不同意父母的意见，但这是错误观点，F项“Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.(沟通对父母和所有年龄段的孩子来说都是一个问题。)”承接上文，给出正确的观点：所有年龄段的孩子和父母之间都存在这一问题，进而引出下文消除代沟的建议，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 2．下文“Your parents possibly won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry.(如果你对父母大喊大叫，他们可能不会考虑你的想法。如果你生气了，你就不能很好地表达自己。)”假设了在生气的时候去与父母沟通可能会出现的问题，是对C项“Don’t get to your parents when you are angry.(当你生气的时候不要去找你的父母。)”的解释，说明了为什么生气的时候不要去找父母，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 3．小标题“Try to reach a compromise (和解).(试着达成和解)”指出与父母相处需要让步。E项“Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.(也许你和你的父母在某些事情上意见不一致。)”创设了让步的前提：与父母在某些事情上意见不一致，存在矛盾，引出下文“You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other.(你们可以保留分歧，并尽最大努力接受对方。)”的应对办法，照应本段主题。故选E项。 4．上文“In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them.
