And the consequences of long-term social disconnection can be everything from an increased risk of heart attacks to dementia (痴呆). The following offers a road map to make connections. Be curious. It’s easier to connect with people if you have shared interests or experiences, so start paying attention to what’s in your mind. What motivates you? What excites you? 16 If you know what’s meaningful or fun for you, it may lead you to an activity that connects you to others. Make something. When experts advise making something, people will say, “Well, I’m not Picasso. I don’t know how to do a fancy painting.” Of course, you’re not! 17 You can try your grandma’s pie recipe or plant an herb garden that puts your thoughts and feelings about who you are and express those thoughts and feelings to others. 18 Share something about yourself. It doesn’t have to be the darkest secret of your life, but just something other people might find interesting. Putting yourself out there requires a bit of a risk, and it’s the first step to real connection. Find a group that matches your interests. Whether it’s volunteering for a cause or playing frisbee (飞盘), try to find others who share your interests. There’s even an online group that has a quirky shared interest: a fascination with brown bears in Alaska, which led to Fat Bear Week. In interactions with others, you can begin to reveal yourself and share the unique things that matter to you. 19 Other people’s loneliness matters too. 20 If loneliness goes unaddressed, people can end up in a world of hurt. If you see someone experiencing loneliness, ask them how they’re doing. Share your own experience of loneliness and how you get rid of it. Thus, helping others can also benefit yourself. A．Pour out your hard feelings. B．Take a risk by having conversations. C．You should tolerate the risk of being lonely. D．But the opportunities for creative expression are endless. E．Knowing yourself can be a first step to bonding with others. F．Then, other people recognize that and share their story in return. G．Loneliness has the potential to intensify and become overwhelming. （二） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州九县市高二下学期期末】Up until the1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’ footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. 16 Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long. In fact, planning to work in the same field for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant. 17 And then what will you do? Work hard? Win the lottery? Hope for the best? You might be lucky. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”. If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. It is hardly a recipe for great career success. 18 Keep doing this, you can become a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go. 19 You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained to qualify to work in another field. It is entirely your choice to learn, or to be forced to learn. In short, lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain. 20 It is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you can do it. A．Are you ready for this? B．How times have changed! C．They will probably be out of date very soon. D．The truth is that you are the boss of your career. E．These skills should have brought you a nice, comfortable life. F．What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field? G．Instead. you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work. （三） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市六校高二下学期期末】 My, what a big beak you have! For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer world less harmful. 16 In a paper published in Trends & Evolution, a team led by Sara Ryding, a PhD candidate at Deakin University, shows that is already. happening. Climate change is already changing the bodies of many animal species: bigger beaks (喙), limbs and ears. In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10%since 1871. Another study, this time in North American dark-eyed juncos, another bird, found the same pattern. 17 All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary (进化) theory, “Allen’s rule”. Allen suggested it in 1877, holding that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in temperate (温带的) regions. 18 Being richly filled with blood vessels (血管), and not covered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat. Ms. Ryding examined museum specimens (标本) to prove that climate change was the cause of an anatomical (解剖学的) changes. All sorts of other factors might have been driving the changes. Her team combined data from different species in different places. They have little in common apart from living on a warming planet. 19 For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%. 20 Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs (妥协), it is unclear how far the process might go. A．Therefore, climate change is the most reasonable explanation. B．That may change as warming accelerates (加速). C．Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviors. D．It seems that the future world is going to be hotter than humans are used to. E．Therefore, the negative effects of a warmer world are visible in these animals’ bodies. F．Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface area relative to its body, helping it to release extra heat. G．Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species of mice and bats evolving bigger ears, legs and wings. （四） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市闽侯县闽江口协作校高二下学期期末】 Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. 16 It takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed early on a cold winter’s day. For this, we specially recommend a “painless early rise” guideline. 17 The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to natural light. Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, agrees with it firstly. That’s because natural light holds back melatonin, a chemical that plays an important role in our bodies. “The sun is the driver of our internal clock,” she says. Ease in gradually. For some people like those who need to drive long distances, those first few days of being tired from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. 18 “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another halt an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says. Hold on — even on weekends. 19 . Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day. And stick to it without exception. Plan something to look forward to. To force you out of bed, 20 . You’re not worrying if you think of that. “Now is the time to go to buy your favourite coffee or pick up some cakes to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m.,” she says. A．Adjust yourself to the schedule at night. B．Seek out as much natural light as possible. C．Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job. D．But the reality is that getting up late is the norm for many of us. E．In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. F．Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy first. G．You should cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting. （五） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州晋江市高二下学期7月期末】How do people respond when you have a talk with them? Maybe they brush your emotions aside or never listen to you. 16 Some tips will help you gain respect by communicating more effectively. Use confident body language. This type of body language can increase your self-respect and help you earn people’s respect. Confident body language can include good eye contact and appropriate postures (姿势). 17 Don’t leave your arms crossed or hands in your pockets. Improve your listening skills. Good listeners often come across as sympathetic (同情的) and caring, which are admirable qualities. A skilled listener can make others feel valued and appreciated. 18 To improve your listening skills, start by paying more attention to people during conversations. Put your phone away and focus on what they are saying rather than what you want to say in response. Give them plenty of time to speak. 19 It’s common to talk too much and start rambling (瞎扯) when you get nervous or want to make a good impression. But to gain others’ respect, you can’t ramble or talk too much about yourself. Get everyone involved and talk about shared interests or hobbies. That way, people will start valuing your input and what you say. Keep calm and your anger in check. Sometimes you may have a difficult conversation or come into conflict with others. If you get cross, people won’t take you seriously because they’ll think you’re too emotional and unreasonable. In that case, you should have the conversation in private instead of making a scene in public. 20 A．Avoid oversharing. B．There’s no need to fill every silence. C．Therefore, he may be respected in return. D．Keep your eyes forward instead of down. E．Try to make your message as clear as possible. F．You might feel that you just don’t matter to others. G．You can also do it sometime after you’ve cooled down. （六） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州市丰泽区安溪一中，惠安一中，养正中学，泉州实验中高二下学期7月期末】Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知的) scientist, says the complicated mental multi-tasking that dancing requires engages various parts of the brain at the same time, leading to the strengthening of neural (神经系统的) connections across different regions. 16 . “It’s socially, cognitively and physically demanding,” she says. Anyone who’s ever felt the irresistible urge to dance to a favorite song knows that combining music and movement can lift your mood and melt away stress. But there’s a lot more happening in your brain when you’re trying to follow even the easiest choreography (编舞). 17 . Tasks like getting around the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if regarded as choreography. To learn how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, researchers conducted MRI scans on older adults who engaged in either dance or a traditional exercise program over six months. 18 , the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes. The researchers assume that these brain changes contribute to more neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections and pathways. 19 . Brain plasticity is similar to the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs. 20 . A Finnish study of people with severe brain injuries showed that dance-based recovery might improve mobility, cognition and overall well-being. Additionally, research shows that dancing can reduce the risk of brain-related diseases such as dementia (痴呆). A．Moreover, dancing can help prevent brain injuries B．In addition to the physical and neurological benefits C．The effect extends beyond dancing to the real world D．While both groups improved their level of physical fitness E．Dancing might even help people with brain injuries and diseases F．Imagine your brain is like a city with loads of roads and pathways G．Basically, dancing requires more brain power than commonly believed （七） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州市四校高二下学期7月期末】The opening sentences of your essay are crucial; first impressions often matter. 36 Think of how you skim a magazine, reading a paragraph or two of each article that looks promising. If the early paragraphs interest you, you’ll continue reading. When writing your own introductory paragraph, assume you have limited words to attract your audience. Therefore, focus on making your initial lines especially interesting and well written. In some essays, a strong main point alone can attract readers. 37 The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline. Here is some advice to help you avoid common lead-in errors. Make sure your lead-in clearly presents your main point. 38 To prevent a loose flow, use a bridging sentence or phrase between your lead-in and main point. Keep your lead-in brief. Long lead-ins in short essays often give the appearance of a tail wagging the dog. 39 Don’t make your introduction the biggest part of your essay. 40 Identify the related facts even though you know your readers know the assignment. If you are writing about a particular piece of literature or art, identify the title of the work and its author or artist, using the full name in the first reference. A．But how can we write a good sentence? B．But other times, using a lead-in can help. C．You might think of your essay as a clear, connected whole. D．Don’t assume your readers already know your subject matter. E．Use a brief, engaging introduction to establish your main point. F．A common issue is an interesting start but no clear link to the main point. G．Then, your essay‘s start must attract readers’ attention and keep them engaged. （八） 【2023-2024学年福建省厦门市高二下学期7月期末】Many parents are looking for ways to help their kids learn at home. Toys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like one way to achieve this goal. 16 The answer is yes. Toys can indeed teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts — but don’t focus on advertising or fancy labels to find the best bets. There’s no minimum educational requirement that toys must reach to label themselves a “STEM toy”, so almost everything on the market is untested. 17 Some proven winners? Tinkertoys, board games, decks of cards and building blocks. 18 In preschool, for example, the construction of complex block buildings is associated with an improvement in math learning. Blocks, puzzles and shape toys boost spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are associated with later math learning, suggesting that the early exploration of shapes acts as a springboard for more complex math concepts. There are five characteristics that make for a good educational toy: active, engaging, meaningful, encouraging social play and fun. Good play has these characteristics built in. Toys that allow children to build and create also have the advantage of being renewable. 19 It means that kids don’t become bored with them easily. Though adults certainly don’t have to participate in the building of every block tower, some grown-up guidance can help boost kids’ learning from play. One useful tool adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind of talk encourages kids to think more deeply about math. 20 Parents can play guessing games with their kids like “Which is the most?” or play simple scorekeeping games like drop-the-clothespins-in-the-jar. A．But do they really work? B．Are the advertisements misleading? C．They’re different every time children return to them. D．Parents get involved by having math talks with kids. E．Conveniently, math talk doesn’t require any toy purchases at all. F．Instead, look for toys that encourage open-ended, active play and problem-solving. G．Research shows creative, open-ended play is how young children learn STEM concepts. （九） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州市泉港一中.泉州一中.石外分校联考高二下学期7月期末】 When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. 36 The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events　(such as academics and physical attractiveness). 37 As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others. Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. 38 Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better. 39 If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good. Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others. 40 Doing so reminds us to be fully aware of who we are. A．That may pose potential dangers. B．Unfortunately, he is no exception. C．When our self-worth depends on those, it’s unstable. D．Let’s cite some examples to further demonstrate that. E．Let’s dive into the cause to learn more about self-worth. F．Actually, he’s always been labeled as “other people’s child”. G．Instead, learn to base your self-worth on internal contingencies like virtues and faiths. （十） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州晋江市五校高二下学期期末】Artificial Intelligence (AI) geolocation (互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts. These systems use advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms (算法) to gather real-time data on animal movements, habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 16 Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems, which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 17 The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely, which decreases human impact on wildlife. In addition, AI-powered devices collect and analyze data precisely. Through their assistance, scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 18 For example, by analyzing the collected data, conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices. 19 By monitoring animals’ behavioral changes in real-time, researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life. Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness about protecting endangered species. 20 This help them feel more connected to the issues wildlife face in habitats. The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations, volunteer work, and so on. A．This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions. B．However, AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals. C．AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods. D．The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation. E．Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience. F．The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork. G．With real-time data, the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks. （十一） 【2023-2024学年福建省莆田市高二下学期7月期末】Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. 12 But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits. All you need to do is just making art. Here are things you need to know in particular to start your creative art habit. 13 “People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 14 Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don’t feel like that you have to stick to one thing. 15 Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 16 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. “Your creative corner is kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your comment to invest in yourself and your well-being.” A．Let it go that you’re not an artist. B．Do whatever you are interested in. C．Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art. D．It is also good to figure out your way of creative expression. E．There are rules for how much time you should engage in art. F．The act of creation can reduce stress and improve your mood. G．So despite your skill level, you’ll feel all the good things from making art. （十二） 【2023-2024学年福建省宁德市市高二下学期7月期末】In today’s rapidly evolving information age, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in our lives, particularly in the field of education 36 And that will help us better adapt to future trends in language education. Traditional teaching models usually require all students to follow the same learning plan, often overlooking individual needs, while AI technology can adjust instructional content based on the learner’s ability. 37 Therefore, this approach can greatly improve learning outcomes. 38 Timely feedback is crucial for correcting mistakes and reinforcing understanding during the learning process. AI systems can instantly point out errors and offer suggestions for improvement. This rapid feedback mechanism is highly effective in enhancing learners’ language skills. AI technology makes English learning more interactive and fun. AI-assisted teaching tools, such as Virtual Reality (VR) technology, help to create real life settings. 39 They can immerse (沉浸) themselves in an environment where they communicate entirely in English. The-application of AI in English learning is not limited to enhancing specific skills like speaking. 40 By providing more diverse and in-depth reading materials and targeted writing guidance through the analysis of vast text data, AI helps learners improve their abilities in all aspects of language. In conclusion, learning English with AI enhances learning efficiency. With the advancement of technology, we look forward to seeing more innovative learning tools emerge, helping people better learn and use English. A．It offers a personalized learning experience. B．Learners can get engaged in them to practice their oral English. C．AI can also be applied in English learning to provide continuous feedback.

G．Another significant application of AI in English learning is providing immediate response. （十三） （十四） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市联盟校高二下学期期末】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. 36 ●Identify negative thoughts. 37 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. ● 38 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. 39 It can guide them toward happiness and success. ●Choose to respond rather than react. Often, when people feel touched, they react without thinking. 40 However, by choosing to respond mindfully rather than react, you are controlling your thoughts in a healthy way.

G．However, those who develop a growth mindset often express determination. （十五） 【2023-2024学年福建省福建师范大学附属中学高二下学期7月期末】Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive (认知的) decline. 13 Many Americans don’t read frequently. It’s time to change this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout. 14 When you have some leisure time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game. 15 While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones. Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. 16 Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss (摒弃) paper, electronic, or audio books. 17 Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion. A．Audiobooks (有声书) still affect your thoughts and feelings. B．Choose what is the most suitable for your needs. C．Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence. D．This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. E．Keep a book, an e-reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day. F．Despite this, the overall book reading time for Americans is on the decline. G．However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white pages （十六） 【2023-2024学年福建省漳州市高二下学期7月期末】Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. 12 When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents.

Putting yourself out there requires a bit of a risk, and it’s the first step to real connection.(分享一些关于你自己的事情。它不一定是你生命中最黑暗的秘密，只是一些其他人可能会觉得有趣的事情。把自己放在那里需要一点风险，这是真正建立联系的第一步)”可知，本段建议通过冒风险进行对话来建立联系。B项中的“take a risk”和下文中的“a bit of a risk”对应。B项“Take a risk by having conversations.(进行冒险对话)”是最佳主题句。故选B。 19．上文“In interactions with others, you can begin to reveal yourself and share the unique things that matter to you.(在与他人的互动中，你可以开始展示自己，分享对你来说重要的独特之处)”提出展示自己，分享重要的独特之处。F项“Then, other people recognize that and share their story in return.(然后，其他人认识到这一点，并分享他们的故事作为回报)”承接上文，指出你在展示自己以后，别人会做出回应，分享他们的故事，句中“share their story in return”与上文中“share the unique things”相照应。故选F。 20．根据本段主题句“Other people’s loneliness matters too.(其他人的孤独也很重要)”可知，本段的关键词是“loneliness”。G项“Loneliness has the potential to intensify and become overwhelming.(孤独有可能加剧并变得势不可挡)”与主题相关，符合语境。故选G。 （二） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州九县市高二下学期期末】Up until the1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’ footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. 16 Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long. In fact, planning to work in the same field for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant. 17 And then what will you do? Work hard? Win the lottery? Hope for the best? You might be lucky. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”. If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. It is hardly a recipe for great career success. 18 Keep doing this, you can become a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go. 19 You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained to qualify to work in another field. It is entirely your choice to learn, or to be forced to learn. In short, lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain. 20 It is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you can do it. A．Are you ready for this? B．How times have changed! C．They will probably be out of date very soon. D．The truth is that you are the boss of your career. E．These skills should have brought you a nice, comfortable life. F．What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field? G．Instead. you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work. 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．G 19．F 20．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要说明了在如今的职场中，大多数人不再打算追随父母的脚步，甚至不再打算在一份工作上待很长时间，并分析了其原因。 16．根据上文“In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement.（在你祖父母的时代，从毕业到退休都要做同样的工作。）”和下文“Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.(现在大多数人都不想追随父母的脚步，甚至不想在一份工作上待很长时间)”可知，上下文形成对比，意在表明现在大多数人与过去的情况不同。空处应该承上启下，起到过渡的作用。B选项“How times have changed!（时代变了！）”符合文意。故选B。 17．根据上文“One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant.(其中一个原因是技术。你现在拥有的技能不太可能一直保持相关性。)”可知，此处意在表明现在拥有的技能有过时的可能性。C选项“They will probably be out of date very soon.(它们可能很快就会过时)”符合文意，承接上文。故选C。 18．根据上文“If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. It is hardly a recipe for great career success.(如果你认为你可以每天工作8小时并建立一份事业，那再想想吧。这很难成为事业成功的秘诀)”可知，此处意在表明不能每天只工作8小时，而要用更好的方法工作。G选项“Instead, you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.(相反，你最好继续寻找更聪明的工作方法)”符合文意，承接上文。故选G。 19．根据下文“You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained to qualify to work in another field.(你可能需要回到课堂接受再培训，才有资格在另一个领域工作)”可知，此处意在提出假设，即如果工作在将来消失了该怎么办。F选项“What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field?(如果你在这个领域工作了10年后，你的工作消失了怎么办？)”符合文意，引出下文。故选F。 20．根据上文“In short, lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain.(简而言之，从一个雇主那里获得终身保障已不再可靠)”可知，此处强调个人在职业生涯中的主体地位。D选项“The truth is that you are the boss of your career.(事实是，你是自己职业生涯的老板)”符合文意，承接上文。故选D。 （三） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市六校高二下学期期末】 My, what a big beak you have! For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer world less harmful. 16 In a paper published in Trends & Evolution, a team led by Sara Ryding, a PhD candidate at Deakin University, shows that is already. happening. Climate change is already changing the bodies of many animal species: bigger beaks (喙), limbs and ears. In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10%since 1871. Another study, this time in North American dark-eyed juncos, another bird, found the same pattern. 17 All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary (进化) theory, “Allen’s rule”. Allen suggested it in 1877, holding that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in temperate (温带的) regions. 18 Being richly filled with blood vessels (血管), and not covered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat. Ms. Ryding examined museum specimens (标本) to prove that climate change was the cause of an anatomical (解剖学的) changes. All sorts of other factors might have been driving the changes. Her team combined data from different species in different places. They have little in common apart from living on a warming planet. 19 For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%. 20 Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs (妥协), it is unclear how far the process might go. A．Therefore, climate change is the most reasonable explanation. B．That may change as warming accelerates (加速). C．Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviors. D．It seems that the future world is going to be hotter than humans are used to. E．Therefore, the negative effects of a warmer world are visible in these animals’ bodies. F．Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface area relative to its body, helping it to release extra heat. G．Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species of mice and bats evolving bigger ears, legs and wings. 【答案】16．C 17．G 18．F 19．A 20．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了地球变暖正在改变动物的外貌，如嘴巴变大。 16．根据上文“For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer world less harmful.(对人类来说，适应气候变化将主要是一个技术问题。更多的空调，更好设计的房屋和更大的防洪系统可能有助于减少全球变暖的危害)”可知，人类依靠的是科学技术来适应气候变化。选项C“动物将不得不依靠改变它们的身体或行为（去适应）。”承接上文，说明和人类不同，动物要适应气候变化就只能依靠它们的身体和行为。从而引出下文对于动物适应气候变化发生的变化的讲述，上下文通顺合理。故选C项。 17．空处位于段末应承接上文。上文“In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10%since 1871. Another study, this time in North American dark-eyed juncos, another bird, found the same pattern.(例如，在一些澳大利亚鹦鹉中，自1871年以来，喙的大小增加了4%到10%。另一项研究，这次是在另一种鸟类北美黑眼鹦鹉中，发现了同样的模式)”列举了一些动物因为天气变暖，喙变大的例子。由此推知，空处承接上文，继续举例。选项G“哺乳动物也有类似的趋势，老鼠、鼩鼱和蝙蝠进化出更大的耳朵、尾巴、腿和翅膀”符合语境，是动物应对天气变化外貌发生变化的例子。故选G项。 18．根据上文“All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary (进化) theory, “Allen’s rule”. Allen suggested it in 1877, holding that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in temperate (温带的) regions.(所有这些都完全符合进化论的“艾伦法则”。艾伦在1877年提出了这个观点，他认为生活在炎热地区的温血动物往往比生活在温带地区的动物有更大的身体部位)”可知，炎热地区的温血动物往往长有更大的附属物，这是动物对气候的一种适应，选项F“这种适应性增加了动物相对于其身体体积的表面积，帮助它释放多余的热量。”解释了这种现象的产生原因。下文“Being richly filled with blood vessels (血管), and not covered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat.(喙部充满了血管，没有被羽毛覆盖，是鸟类散热的理想场所)”举例说明动物的这种适应性。上下文通顺合理。故选F项。 19．根据上文“Ms. Ryding examined museum specimens (标本) to prove that climate change was the cause of an anatomical (解剖学的) changes. All sorts of other factors might have been driving the changes. Her team combined data from different species in different places. They have little in common apart from living on a warming planet.(赖丁检查了博物馆的标本，以证明气候变化是导致解剖结构变化的原因。各种各样的其他因素可能推动了这些变化。她的团队结合了来自不同地方不同物种的数据。除了生活在一个变暖的星球上，它们几乎没有什么共同之处)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，对生物结构变化的原因进行解释说明。故A选项“因此，气候变化是最合理的解释”符合语境，故选A项。 20．根据上文“For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%.(至少就目前而言，增幅很小，不会超过10%)”以及后文“Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs (妥协), it is unclear how far the process might go.(由于任何进化适应都伴随着权衡，目前尚不清楚这个过程会走多远)”可知，上文提到了目前的情况，推测本句是在说明未来可能会发生何种改变。故B选项“随着气候变暖的加速，这可能会改变”符合语境，故选B项。 （四） 【2023-2024学年福建省福州市闽侯县闽江口协作校高二下学期期末】 Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. 16 It takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed early on a cold winter’s day. For this, we specially recommend a “painless early rise” guideline. 17 The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to natural light. Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, agrees with it firstly. That’s because natural light holds back melatonin, a chemical that plays an important role in our bodies. “The sun is the driver of our internal clock,” she says. Ease in gradually. For some people like those who need to drive long distances, those first few days of being tired from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. 18 “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another halt an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says. Hold on — even on weekends. 19 . Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day. And stick to it without exception. Plan something to look forward to. To force you out of bed, 20 . You’re not worrying if you think of that. “Now is the time to go to buy your favourite coffee or pick up some cakes to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m.,” she says. A．Adjust yourself to the schedule at night. B．Seek out as much natural light as possible. C．Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job. D．But the reality is that getting up late is the norm for many of us. E．In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. F．Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy first. G．You should cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting. 【答案】16．D 17．B 18．E 19．C 20．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国睡眠医学学会董事会长Jennifer Martin推荐的“无痛早起”指南，包括逐渐适应、周末也坚持、寻找自然光、计划期待之事和夜间调整作息，旨在帮助读者养成早起习惯，提高健康水平。 16．根据前文“Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health(每个人都知道早睡早起对你的健康有好处)”可知后文应该开始讲述如何成为早晨型人的建议。因此，空缺处应该是一个转折或者引出新话题的句子。D选项“但是现实是，对于我们许多人来说，晚起是常态。”提供了一个与前文对比的情况，引出了为什么需要改变起床习惯的话题，符合题意。故选D。 17．根据后文“The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to natural light.(成为一个早起的人的秘诀是暴露在自然光下。)”可知空格后进一步解释了自然光的作用。B选项“尽可能多地接触自然光。”直接呼应了后文的自然光话题，适合作为小标题，符合题意。故选B。 18．根据前文“For some people like those who need to drive long distances, those first few days of being tired from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe.(对于一些人来说，比如那些需要长途驾驶的人，转换到新的时间表后的头几天感到疲劳是不安全的。)”可知后文应该给出一个逐步调整的建议。E选项“在这种情况下，马丁建议逐渐适应早起的生活方式。”与前文的安全考虑相呼应，提出了一个解决方案，符合题意。故选E。 19．根据前文“Hold on — even on weekends.(坚持住——即使是在周末。)”和后文“Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day. And stick to it without exception.(决定好你每天醒来的时间。并且毫无例外地坚持下去。)”可知后文给出了一个具体的策略来帮助人们适应新的作息时间。C选项“成为一个早晨型人是一周七天的工作。”强调了坚持的重要性，为后文提出的策略提供了背景，符合题意。故选C。 20．根据前文“To force you out of bed(为了让你起床)”和后文“You’re not worrying if you think of that.(如果你这么想，你就不用担心了。)”可知空格处应该给出了一个建议，后文又举了一个例子，说明如何实施这个建议。F选项“马丁建议给自己一个特别的享受作为奖励。”与前文小标题的“值得期待的事情”相呼应，提供了具体的行动建议，符合题意。故选F。 （五） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州晋江市高二下学期7月期末】How do people respond when you have a talk with them? Maybe they brush your emotions aside or never listen to you. 16 Some tips will help you gain respect by communicating more effectively. Use confident body language. This type of body language can increase your self-respect and help you earn people’s respect. Confident body language can include good eye contact and appropriate postures (姿势). 17 Don’t leave your arms crossed or hands in your pockets. Improve your listening skills. Good listeners often come across as sympathetic (同情的) and caring, which are admirable qualities. A skilled listener can make others feel valued and appreciated. 18 To improve your listening skills, start by paying more attention to people during conversations. Put your phone away and focus on what they are saying rather than what you want to say in response. Give them plenty of time to speak. 19 It’s common to talk too much and start rambling (瞎扯) when you get nervous or want to make a good impression. But to gain others’ respect, you can’t ramble or talk too much about yourself. Get everyone involved and talk about shared interests or hobbies. That way, people will start valuing your input and what you say. Keep calm and your anger in check. Sometimes you may have a difficult conversation or come into conflict with others.

Anyone who’s ever felt the irresistible urge to dance to a favorite song knows that combining music and movement can lift your mood and melt away stress. But there’s a lot more happening in your brain when you’re trying to follow even the easiest choreography (编舞). 17 . Tasks like getting around the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can become more attainable if regarded as choreography. To learn how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, researchers conducted MRI scans on older adults who engaged in either dance or a traditional exercise program over six months. 18 , the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes. The researchers assume that these brain changes contribute to more neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections and pathways. 19 . Brain plasticity is similar to the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs. 20 .

If the early paragraphs interest you, you’ll continue reading. When writing your own introductory paragraph, assume you have limited words to attract your audience. Therefore, focus on making your initial lines especially interesting and well written. In some essays, a strong main point alone can attract readers. 37 The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline. Here is some advice to help you avoid common lead-in errors. Make sure your lead-in clearly presents your main point. 38 To prevent a loose flow, use a bridging sentence or phrase between your lead-in and main point. Keep your lead-in brief. Long lead-ins in short essays often give the appearance of a tail wagging the dog. 39 Don’t make your introduction the biggest part of your essay. 40 Identify the related facts even though you know your readers know the assignment. If you are writing about a particular piece of literature or art, identify the title of the work and its author or artist, using the full name in the first reference. A．But how can we write a good sentence? B．But other times, using a lead-in can help. C．You might think of your essay as a clear, connected whole. D．Don’t assume your readers already know your subject matter. E．Use a brief, engaging introduction to establish your main point. F．A common issue is an interesting start but no clear link to the main point. G．Then, your essay‘s start must attract readers’ attention and keep them engaged. 【答案】36．G 37．B 38．F 39．E 40．D 【导语】本文是说明文。详细解释了如何撰写引人入胜的文章开头，给出了相关的建议，并讨论了常见的错误和如何避免它们。 36．根据前文“The opening sentences of your essay are crucial; first impressions often matter.(你的文章开头的句子是至关重要的；第一印象通常很重要)”以及后文“Think of how you skim a magazine, reading a paragraph or two of each article that looks promising. If the early paragraphs interest you, you’ll continue reading.(想想你是如何浏览一本杂志的，读一到两段看起来很有希望的文章。如果你对前几段感兴趣，你会继续读下去)”可知，前文讲述开头句很重要，后文讲述一般只读一到两段，所以空处应是文章开头的重要性，所以G项“Then, your essay‘s start must attract readers’ attention and keep them engaged.(然后，你的文章的开头必须吸引读者的注意力，并让他们保持参与)”符合语境，承接上文，引出下文。故选G项。 37．根据前文“In some essays, a strong main point alone can attract readers.(在一些文章中，一个强有力的重点就可以吸引读者)”以及后文“The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline.(导语有三个主要目的：吸引读者的注意力，介绍文章的主题和语气，为论文和文章大纲铺平道路)”可知，前文在讲述一个强有力的重点就可以吸引读者，后文介绍导语，所以空处应是过渡句，过渡到导语上来，B项“But other times, using a lead-in can help.(但其他时候，使用导语会有所帮助)”符合语境，和前文构成转折关系，同时引出下文。故选B项。 38．后文“The lead-in serves three key purposes: drawing readers’ attention, introducing the essay’s topic and tone, and paving the way for the thesis and essay outline.(为了防止不连贯，在导语和主旨之间使用一个衔接句子或短语)”提出了一个解决方法，所以空处应是提出了一个问题，F项“A common issue is an interesting start but no clear link to the main point.(一个常见的问题是开头很有趣，但与要点没有明确的联系)”符合文意，后文是对此问题的解决方法。故选F项。 39．根据前文“Keep your lead-in brief.(保持你的导语简短)”可知，本段主题是让导语要简短，所以E项“Use a brief, engaging introduction to establish your main point.(使用一个简短的，引人入胜的介绍来建立你的主要观点)”符合本段主题，其中brief为同词复现。故选E项。 40．空格处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Identify the related facts even though you know your readers know the assignment.

Toys can indeed teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts — but don’t focus on advertising or fancy labels to find the best bets. There’s no minimum educational requirement that toys must reach to label themselves a “STEM toy”, so almost everything on the market is untested. 17 Some proven winners? Tinkertoys, board games, decks of cards and building blocks. 18 In preschool, for example, the construction of complex block buildings is associated with an improvement in math learning. Blocks, puzzles and shape toys boost spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are associated with later math learning, suggesting that the early exploration of shapes acts as a springboard for more complex math concepts. There are five characteristics that make for a good educational toy: active, engaging, meaningful, encouraging social play and fun. Good play has these characteristics built in. Toys that allow children to build and create also have the advantage of being renewable. 19 It means that kids don’t become bored with them easily. Though adults certainly don’t have to participate in the building of every block tower, some grown-up guidance can help boost kids’ learning from play. One useful tool adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind of talk encourages kids to think more deeply about math. 20 Parents can play guessing games with their kids like “Which is the most?” or play simple scorekeeping games like drop-the-clothespins-in-the-jar. A．But do they really work? B．Are the advertisements misleading? C．They’re different every time children return to them. D．Parents get involved by having math talks with kids. E．Conveniently, math talk doesn’t require any toy purchases at all. F．Instead, look for toys that encourage open-ended, active play and problem-solving. G．Research shows creative, open-ended play is how young children learn STEM concepts. 【答案】16．A 17．F 18．G 19．C 20．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于教学玩具是否具有教育功能，好的教育玩具的特点等。 16．根据上文“Toys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like one way to achieve this goal.”（宣传教STEM的玩具似乎是实现这一目标的一种方式。）以及下文“The answer is yes. Toys can indeed teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts — but don’t focus on advertising or fancy labels to find the best bets.”（答案是肯定的。玩具确实可以教授科学、技术、工程和数学概念——但不要把注意力集中在广告或花哨的标签上，以找到最好的选择。）可知，下设空处为一般疑问句，就宣传教STEM的玩具是否真的能够帮助孩子学习进行提问。故A选项“它们真的有效吗?”切题。故选A项。 17．根据上文“There’s no minimum educational requirement that toys must reach to label themselves a “STEM toy”, so almost everything on the market is untested.”（玩具要贴上“STEM玩具”的标签并没有最低的教育要求，所以市场上几乎所有的东西都是未经测试的。）可知，选项与上文为转折关系，说明要寻找哪类的玩具。故F选项“相反，寻找那些鼓励开放式、积极的游戏和解决问题的玩具。”切题；下文“Some proven winners? Tinkertoys, board games, decks of cards and building blocks.”（一些被证实的赢家？修补玩具、棋盘游戏、扑克牌和积木。）承接F选项，列举了一些被证实具有教育功能的玩具。故选F项。 18．下文“In preschool, for example, the construction of complex block buildings is associated with an improvement in math learning. Blocks, puzzles and shape toys boost spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are associated with later math learning, suggesting that the early exploration of shapes acts as a springboard for more complex math concepts.”（例如，在学前教育中，建造复杂的积木建筑与数学学习的提高有关。积木、拼图和形状玩具可以提高空间技能。反过来，空间技能与后来的数学学习有关，这表明早期对形状的探索是学习更复杂数学概念的跳板。）通过举例，具体说明了创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。所以选项总起下文说明创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。故G选项“研究表明，创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。”切题。故选G项。 19．上文“Toys that allow children to build and create also have the advantage of being renewable.”（让孩子们建造和创造的玩具也具有可再生的优势。）指出，让孩子们建造和创造的玩具具有可以变换更新的特点；C选项“每次返给孩子们时，他们都不一样。”承接上文，继续阐述这些玩具的特点，选项中“They”指代上文中的“Toys that allow children to build and create”，“different every time children return to them”与上文“renewable”相对应；下文“It means that kids don’t become bored with them easily.”（这意味着孩子们不会轻易对它们感到厌倦。）承接C选项，阐述这些玩具每次都不同所带来的益处，“It”指代C选项的内容。故选C项。 20．根据上文“One useful tool adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind of talk encourages kids to think more deeply about math.”（成年人可以使用与他们的孩子玩耍是“数学谈话”。这种谈话鼓励孩子们更深入地思考数学。）可知，选项承接上文说明“数学谈话”的优势。故E选项“方便的是，数学谈话根本不需要购买任何玩具。”切题。故选E项。 （九） 【2023-2024学年福建省泉州市泉港一中.泉州一中.石外分校联考高二下学期7月期末】 When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. 36 The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events　(such as academics and physical attractiveness). 37 As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others. Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. 38 Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better. 39 If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good. Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others. 40 Doing so reminds us to be fully aware of who we are. A．That may pose potential dangers. B．Unfortunately, he is no exception. C．When our self-worth depends on those, it’s unstable. D．Let’s cite some examples to further demonstrate that. E．Let’s dive into the cause to learn more about self-worth. F．Actually, he’s always been labeled as “other people’s child”. G．Instead, learn to base your self-worth on internal contingencies like virtues and faiths. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．A 39．D 40．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件，如学术和外表吸引力，当我们的自我价值依赖于这些时，它是不稳定的且可能会带来潜在的危险。文章介绍了如何建立正确的自我价值感。 36．根据上文“When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment.

Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive (认知的) decline. 13 Many Americans don’t read frequently. It’s time to change this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout. 14 When you have some leisure time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game. 15 While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones. Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. 16 Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss (摒弃) paper, electronic, or audio books. 17 Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion. A．Audiobooks (有声书) still affect your thoughts and feelings. B．Choose what is the most suitable for your needs. C．Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence. D．This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. E．Keep a book, an e-reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day. F．Despite this, the overall book reading time for Americans is on the decline.

As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive (认知的) decline.(读书可以锻炼你的大脑。在较早年龄开始阅读的孩子在某些智力测试中表现得更好。随着年龄的增长，它可能有助于减缓甚至阻止认知能力的下降。)”提出阅读带给我们的好处，下文“Many Americans don’t read frequently.(许多美国人不经常阅读。)”却讲尽管阅读有很多好处，但美国人不经常阅读，上下文有转折关系。F项“Despite this, the overall book reading time for Americans is on the decline.(尽管如此，美国人的整体读书时间却在减少。)”承上启下，引出下文美国人的现状，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 14．下文“When you have some leisure time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention — you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game.(当你有一些闲暇时间——你在等朋友，在上下班的路上睡个小觉，或者做一件不需要你全部注意力的任务——你可以打开你的文本，而不是玩你最喜欢的智能手机游戏。)”提出在闲暇时间打开文本阅读，这正是E项“Keep a book, an e-reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day.(随身携带一本书，一个电子阅读器，或者一个有声读物应用。)”中提出携带书、电子阅读器或有声读物的目的，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 15．下文“While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones.(虽然纸质书在公众舆论中仍然是明显的赢家，但科学并没有证明纸质书比电子书更好。)”提出纸质书与电子书的比较，承接D项“This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio.(这就带来了一个巨大的争论：书页vs屏幕vs音频。)”中提出的纸质书页与电子屏幕的对比，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 16．上文“As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently.(至于有声读物，它们对大脑灰质的影响有所不同)”提出有声读物与其它阅读媒介有所不同，G项“However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white pages (然而，它们对大脑的刺激就像黑白页面一样深刻)”承接上文，指出有声读物与其它黑白页面阅读媒介的共同点，上下文构成转折关系。句中“they”指代上文“audiobooks”。故选G项。 17．上文“Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss (摒弃) paper, electronic, or audio books. (最后，如果你希望养成阅读习惯，你不应该放弃纸质书、电子书或有声书。)”提出不要摒弃纸质书、电子书或有声书中的任一一种，B项“Choose what is the most suitable for your needs.(选择最适合您需求的产品。)”进一步提出建议：要从中选择最适合自己的方式，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 （十六） 【2023-2024学年福建省漳州市高二下学期7月期末】Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. 12 When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents.
