专题05 七选五（浙江专用） 话题一：生活与学习 1．（23-24高二下·浙江省舟山·期末） How to Protect Your Eyes When Using a Computer Experts agree that spending time in front of a computer may cause eye strain. While eye strain typically isn’t harmful, it can cause bothersome symptoms like dry, watery eyes, sensitivity to light and neck or shoulder pain. 36 Research suggests that making simple changes may help prevent eye strain. Reposition reference materials. 37 If they are too low or too high, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye fatigue. Actually, reference materials should be located above the keyboard and below the computer’s monitor. To help do this, use a document holder or a book to prop up materials a few inches and help rest your eyes. Blink every so often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute, but when focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer. You’ll have to be conscious of this and force yourself to blink. Deliberately blink every five seconds or so. 38 Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen for 20 seconds. Adjust your screen lighting. Your screen should be illuminated in relation to your environment. If you’re working in a brightly lit room, you can increase your brightness settings; if the room is dim, lower the settings. If your eyes are feeling strained, try adjusting your brightness settings in relation to your work environment. 39 40 Eye doctors use this term to describe the adverse effects of prolonged computer use. These symptoms are not permanent and should subside when you step away from the computer for a few hours. They can cause significant discomfort, however, and if ignored can lead to permanent eye problems. A．Fortunately, there is still a way out. B．Pause with computer vision syndrome. C．Have a break when eye strain happens. D．Improper position of materials can cause discomfort. E．If you find this too distracting, try taking breaks. F．During this time, you should blink or close your eyes. G．Anyway, your eyes often tell you what you should do. 【答案】36.A 37.D 38.E 39.G 40.B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了使用电脑时保护眼睛的方法。 36.根据上文“Experts agree that spending time in front of a computer may cause eye strain．While eye strain typically isn’t harmful, it can cause bothersome symptoms like dry, watery eyes, sensitivity to light and neck or shoulder pain.(专家一致认为，长时间坐在电脑前可能会导致眼睛疲劳。虽然眼睛疲劳通常是无害的，但它会导致令人烦恼的症状，比如眼睛干涩、流泪、对光敏感、脖子或肩膀疼痛)”以及后文“Research suggests that making simple changes may help prevent eye strain.(研究表明，做一些简单的改变可能有助于预防眼睛疲劳)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出有办法可以缓解眼睛疲劳的问题。故A选项“幸运的是，还有一条出路”符合语境，故选A。 37.根据标题“Reposition reference materials.(重新给材料放位置)”以及后文“If they are too low or too high, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye fatigue．Actually, reference materials should be located above the keyboard and below the computer’s monitor．To help do this, use a document holder or a book to prop up materials a few inches and help rest your eyes.(如果它们太低或太高，你的眼睛在每次看它们时都必须重新聚焦，导致眼睛疲劳。实际上，参考资料应该放在键盘的上方和电脑显示器的下方。为了做到这一点，用一个文件柜或一本书来支撑几英寸的材料，帮助你的眼睛休息)”可知，本段的主旨是关于材料放置位置的建议，故D选项“材料放置位置不当会引起不适”符合语境，故选D。 38.根据上文“Deliberately blink every five seconds or so.(故意每五秒眨眼一次)”以及后文“Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen for 20 seconds.(每隔20分钟，把视线从屏幕上移开20秒)”可知，本句是在说明上文方法的具体运用。E选项中this指代上文“Deliberately blink every five seconds or so.”。故E选项“如果你觉得这太让人分心，试着休息一下”符合语境，故选E。 39.根据上文“If your eyes are feeling strained, try adjusting your brightness settings in relation to your work environment.(如果你的眼睛感到紧张，试着根据你的工作环境调整你的亮度设置)”可知，本段为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明应该按照眼睛的状况进行亮度调整。故G选项“不管怎样，你的眼睛经常告诉你应该做什么”符合语境，故选G。 40.根据本段内容“Eye doctors use this term to describe the adverse effects of prolonged computer use．These symptoms are not permanent and should subside when you step away from the computer for a few hours．They can cause significant discomfort, however, and if ignored can lead to permanent eye problems.(眼科医生用这个词来描述长时间使用电脑的不良影响。这些症状不是永久性的，离开电脑几个小时后就会消失。然而，它们会引起严重的不适，如果忽视，可能会导致永久性的眼部问题)”可知，后文提到了离开电脑症状就会消失，本句主要说明后文提到的术语this term，指的是B选项中computer vision syndrome。故B选项“有电脑视觉综合症就暂停”符合语境，故选B。 2．（23-24高二下·浙江省台州·期末） Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up. 36 They, to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure. But despite the name, do they actually comfort us? 37 As studies have found, the brain has “hedonic hotspots” — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or “liking” of palatable (可口的) tastes, including sugary, fatty and salty foods. This can result in a dopamine (多巴胺) hit that strengthens a person’s motivation to seek palatable food rewards. Therefore, people might be encouraged by their brains to consume particular foods. But why are comfort foods generally somewhat unhealthy? Certain foods — sometimes referred to as “hyper-palatable” foods — arouse intense feelings of pleasure. They are generally easy to digest and are sweet, salty or rich. 38 So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza. Comfort foods are an attempt to feel content or a means of reducing stress, but it seems they are not always effective. In a survey of 2, 000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse. So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial. 39 Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food. Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift. 40 Individuals may just be giving comfort food credit for mood effects that would have occurred even in the absence of that particular food. A．It seems beneficial to make comfort foods. B．Healthy foods tend not to contain any of these elements. C．Comfort foods are often associated with carefree memories. D．The brain rewards people when they consume certain. foods. E．This leads to their feelings of regret and shame in the longer term. F．When feeling emotionally threatened, you often reach for comfort foods. G．Any other food, regardless of people’s desire, is also able to achieve the same outcome. 【答案】36.C 37.D 38.B 39.E 40.G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍安慰食物是否真的有作用以及人们吃安慰食物的原因。 36.上文“Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up.(相当多的人在情绪低落或只是需要一点提神的时候会转向安慰食物)”提到很多人情绪低落时会转向安慰食物，结合下文“They, to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure.(它们在某种程度上为食客提供了一种温暖和愉悦的感觉)”可知，空处应是进一步阐述安慰食物，C项“安慰食物通常与无忧无虑的回忆联系在一起”符合语境，故选C。 37.根据下文“As studies have found, the brain has ‘hedonic hotspots’ — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or ‘liking’ of palatable (可口的) tastes, including sugary, fatty and salty foods.(正如研究发现的那样，大脑有‘享乐热点’——一个专门的区域，可以增加对美味的奖励感或‘喜欢’，包括含糖、高脂肪和咸的食物)”可知，大脑有专门的区域增加对美味食物的奖励，D项“当人们食用某些食物时，大脑会给予奖励”符合语境，故选D。 38.上文“They are generally easy to digest and are sweet, salty or rich.(它们通常很容易消化，有甜的、咸的或丰富的)”提到有些安慰食物口味丰富，下文“So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza.(所以，一个人的大脑往往不会像想要甜甜圈或披萨一样想要它们)”提到，人们不想要吃这些食物，空处与下文是因果关系，所以空处应是说健康的食物不像安慰食物那样美味，所以人们不想吃这些，B项“健康食品往往不含这些元素”符合语境，下文中的“them”指代B项中“Healthy foods”，故选B。 39.根据上文“In a survey of 2, 000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse．So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial.(在一项针对2000名成年人的调查中，四分之一的人承认每周至少吃五次安慰食物，尽管超过一半的人说这些食物让他们感觉更糟。所以，为什么？人们意识到这些食物没有营养价值)”可知，调查中人们虽然吃安慰食物，但这些食物让他们感觉更糟，因为他们意识到这些食物没有营养价值，空处位于段末，总结上文，E项“从长远来看，这会导致他们感到后悔和羞耻”符合语境，与上文“those meals made them feel worse”呼应，故选E。 40.根据上文“Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food．Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift.(然而，一些研究也发现，安慰食物确实有安慰我们的能力，但并不比任何其他食物都强。安慰食物可以立即改善情绪)”可知，研究发现，安慰食物的作用并不比其他食物都强，并提到安慰食物可以立即改善情绪，空处应是接着说其他食物的作用，G项“任何其他食物，不管人们的欲望如何，也都能达到同样的结果”符合语境，故选G。 3．（23-24高二下·浙江省温州十校·期末） A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your Memory As we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed assumption for many people; however, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not unavoidable. 36 . Here are some of his tips for developing and maintaining a healthy memory. Pay more attention. Some memory declines are actually attention problems, not memory problems. For instance, if you’ve forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you were talking with several people at the time. One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to visualize the word. 37 . Play games. Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions — in which a group thinks of a person, place or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. To succeed, the questioner must hold all of the previous answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer. 38 . “Maintaining information and moving it around in your mind.” Restak wrote. Read more novels. One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is giving up on fiction. “People, when they begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction.” Fiction requires active engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end. 39 . Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it.” This can damage our own mental abilities. And the phone takes our focus away from the task at hand. Find regular everyday memory challenges. 40 . Dr. Restak suggested composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t automatically pull out your list (or your phone) — instead, pick up everything according to your memory. Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to navigate through the streets from memory. A．Beware of technology B．Sort out things on devices C．The point is to engage your working memory D．However, we can prevent the memory decline E．Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said F．Having a picture associated with the word can improve recall G．There are many memory exercises that you can integrate into everyday life 【答案】36.E 37.F 38.C 39.A 40.G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了如何保护和提高记忆力的方法，如更加专注于学习新信息，通过视觉化单词来提高注意力；玩记忆游戏等。 36.根据前文“As we age, our memory declines．This is a fixed assumption for many people; however, according to neuroscientist Dr．Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not unavoidable．(随着年龄的增长，我们的记忆力会衰退。对许多人来说，这是一个固定的假设；然而，根据神经学家和临床教授、神经学家理查德·雷斯塔克博士的说法，衰退并非不可避免。)”可知，神经学家和临床教授、神经学家理查德·雷斯塔克博士的说法，记忆衰退并非不可避免，在记忆衰退的过程中，我们最终就成为了我们所能够记忆的样子。E选项“Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said(他最终说：“我们就是我们所能记忆的东西。”)”承接前文，指出在记忆的衰退过程中，最终我们变成了我们能够记忆的样子，该选项符合语境。故选E。 37.根据前文的“One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to visualize the word.( 当你学习新信息时，集中注意力的一种方法是将单词形象化。)”可知，此处强调的是将单词形象化。后文应该对该方法进行具体举例说明。F选项“Having a picture associated with the word can improve recall(与单词相关的图片可以提高记忆力)”中，强调将单词与相关的图片联系到一起，即解释的事单词的形象化。该选项承接前文，符合语境。故选F。 38.根据本段最后一句“Maintaining information and moving it around in your mind.(保持信息并在大脑中移动。)”可知，这里强调的是要让你的大脑活跃起来。C选项“The point is to engage your working memory(关键是要调动你的工作记忆)”强调的是调动你的工作记忆，让大脑运转起来，符合语境。故选C。 39.根据后文中“Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it.” This can damage our own mental abilities．And the phone takes our focus away from the task at hand.( 把所有东西都存到手机上意味着“你不知道”。这会损害我们自己的心智能力。手机会分散我们手头工作的注意力。)”可知，本段强调的是避免将所有的信息都通过手机（科技技术）来存储，这样会分散自己手头上的注意力，降低自己的记忆。A选项“Beware of technology(小心技术)”概括本段内容，强调“小心技术”符合语境。故选A。 40.根据本段段旨“Find regular everyday memory challenges.(找到有规律的日常记忆挑战。)”可知，本段强调的是有规律的进行日常记忆挑战。G选项“There are many memory exercises that you can integrate into everyday life(有很多记忆练习可以融入日常生活)”中强调很多记忆联系可以融入到日常生活，形成呼应，符合语境。故选G。 4（23-24高二下·浙江省湖州市·期末） We all know that it’s important to stay healthy, and we often link health to exercise and diet. 36 Myopia or shortsightedness is becoming more common. It has reached epidemic levels in East Asia, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, where approaching 90% of 18-year-olds are now short-sighted. 37 According to research looking at things that are close to us, such as books, for long periods of time damages our eyes. This is especially true while our eyes are still growing. Besides, looking at screens for extended periods can cause harm as well. So, what can we do to protect our eyes? 38 However, this isn’t always possible at school. In this case, we can follow a practical rule called the 20-20-20 rule. This says that every 20 minutes, we should spend 20 seconds looking at something at least 20 feet (six meters) away. This will help us to exercise our eyes properly. 39 There are many other common eye diseases, such as dry eye disease. This chronic problem can be caused by environmental factors. Some of these include blue light from screens as well as exposure to wind and air conditioning. Dry eye disease can result in burning pain and the feeling of something in the eye. 40 What you might need to do is to use hot compresses (敷布), carefully wash your eyelids and eyelashes, and use eye drops. However, there are different types of dry eye disease. So, if you think you have this problem, speak to your doctor for advice. A．The underlying reasons for this trend are clear. B．That may be related to reading for extended periods of time. C．As a part of this, we must consider the health of our eyes, too. D．Myopia isn’t the only problem we can have with our eyes, though. E．Once this problem appears, it can’t be cured, but it can be managed. F．Therefore, there is a concern that the health of our eyes might be at risk. G．The clearest thing is to spend more time on activities involving looking at varying distances. 【答案】36.C 37.A 38.G 39.D 40.E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种眼睛疾病以及如何应对。 36.根据上文“We all know that it’s important to stay healthy, and we often link health to exercise and diet．(我们都知道保持健康很重要，我们经常把健康与运动和饮食联系起来。)”以及下文“Myopia or shortsightedness is becoming more common．(近视眼变得越来越普遍。)”可知，空格处应该说明的是眼睛健康。选项C．As a part of this, we must consider the health of our eyes, too．(作为其中的一部分，我们也必须考虑到我们眼睛的健康。)说明的是眼睛健康，选项中的health of eyes与上文中的health相呼应，能够承上启下。故选C。 37.根据下文“According to research looking at things that are close to us, such as books, for long periods of time damages our eyes．This is especially true while our eyes are still growing．Besides, looking at screens for extended periods can cause harm as well．(根据研究，长时间看离我们很近的东西，比如书，会损害我们的眼睛。当我们的眼睛还在生长时，这一点尤其正确。此外，长时间盯着屏幕也会造成伤害。)”说明的是造成近视的原因，可知空格处需要总的说明引起近视的原因。选项A．The underlying reasons for this trend are clear．(这种趋势的根本原因是显而易见的。)能够引出下文。故选A。 38.根据上文“So, what can we do to protect our eyes? (那么，我们能做些什么来保护眼睛呢?)”以及下文“However, this isn’t always possible at school．(然而，这在学校并不总是可行的。)”可知，空格处说明的是保护眼睛的一种措施，但是这种措施在学校是不可行的。选项G．The clearest thing is to spend more time on activities involving looking at varying distances．(最明显的做法是花更多的时间在观察不同距离的活动上。)是保护眼睛的措施，但是在学校可能实行起来比较困难，所以选项G能够承上启下。故选G。 39.根据下文“There are many other common eye diseases, such as dry eye disease．(还有许多其他常见的眼病，如干眼病。)”可知，空格处应该说明不只是近视一种眼睛健康问题。选项D．Myopia isn’t the only problem we can have with our eyes, though．(不过，近视并不是我们眼睛的唯一问题。)中的the only problem与many other common eye diseases相呼应；能够引出下文。故选D。 40.根据上文“Dry eye disease can result in burning pain and the feeling of something in the eye．(干眼症会导致灼痛和眼睛里有东西的感觉。)”以及下文“What you might need to do is to use hot compresses (敷布), carefully wash your eyelids and eyelashes, and use eye drops．(你可能需要做的是使用热敷，仔细清洗眼睑和睫毛，并使用眼药水。)”可知，空格处进一步说明干眼症的危害。选项E．Once this problem appears, it can’t be cured, but it can be managed．(这个问题一旦出现，就无法治愈，但可以控制。)说明的是干眼症的危害，能够承上启下。故选E。 5．（23-24高二下·浙江省宁波·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. 【答案】36.G 37.B 38.F 39.E 40.D 【解析】 【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．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.(即使你知道你的读者知道你的任务，也要找出相关的事实。如果你写的是一篇特定的文学或艺术作品，要标明作品的标题和作者或艺术家，在第一个参考文献中使用全名)”可知，本段主要讲述了，主题要尽可能详细，所以D项“Don’t assume your readers already know your subject matter.(不要以为你的读者已经知道你的主题)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D项。 话题二：做人与做事 1．（23-24高二下·浙江省金华·期末） It’s natural to compare yourself to others, and even envy them, if you hop on your social media for a few minutes.

(为了停止将自己与他人进行比较，请关注引发您行为的人或事件。看到高端商品后，您是否对自己的生活感到不满？)”指出为了停止将自己与他人进行比较，我们应该关注引发您行为的人或事件，接着举例指出我们可能会出现的一些比较想法，下文“Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations.(一旦出现比较想法，就立即将其写下来，这样你就可以限制自己接触这些情况。)”指出出现比较想法该如何做，由此可知，空处承接上文，也应指出我们可能会出现的一些比较想法，F项“是否有人总是让你对自己感觉不好？”符合，故选F。 38.上文“Appreciate others instead of．envying them.(欣赏别人而不是嫉妒他们)”指出我们要欣赏别人，空处承接上文，指出该如何欣赏别人，D项“考虑一下别人能给你带来什么好处。”符合，故选D。 39.由下文“Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses,” reflect on the areas you can improve．Take classes, workshops, or lessons to improve your skills, and don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way．By putting yourself first, you can promote your self-confidence and find your place and value.(不要只关注自己的“弱点”，而要反思自己可以改进的地方。参加课程、研讨会或课程来提高自己的技能，不要害怕向其他人寻求帮助。把自己放在第一位，可以增强自信心，找到自己的位置和价值。)”可知，我们努力提高自己的能力。B项“努力提高自己的能力。”符合，故选B。 40.上文“Discuss your comparative behavior with a loved one to release any negative beliefs and help you process your emotions．(与所爱之人讨论你的比较行为，以释放任何消极信念并帮助你处理情绪)”指出与所爱之人讨论你的比较行为，空处承接上文，指出这么做会带来什么样的结果，E项“你可能会惊讶地听到他们和你有同样的感受。”符合，故选E。 2．（23-24高二下·浙江省宁波市慈溪市·期末） How to spot misinformation online We’ve all seen it — an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 36 Misinformation isn’t just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake. Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 37 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around. 38 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article. Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 39 Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. 40 If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you. A．It’s okay to be doubtful! B．Double-check the quote or the post. C．Confirm the source and date of the information.

While anhedonia appears similar to boredom, it’s distinct in that it’s usually coupled with a loss of motivation to even give things a try. 36 So what can be done to deal with it? Here’s how you can bounce back from this joyless state of mind. Keep a thought worksheet to investigate negative thinking. 37 They might have negative views of themselves, combined with negative views of the world and of the future. Keeping a thought worksheet can help restructure the beliefs. Write about a situation that happened, the moods you felt, and the automatic thoughts you had. Then write down evidence that supports the automatic thought driving the moods, and evidence that does not support it. 38 You’re looking not only at the negative aspects, but the neutral (中立的) and positive aspects. Keep a daily record of things you’re grateful for. Listing simple things you’re grateful for brings the forgotten positive aspects of our lives to the front of our mind. You may be grateful for having food on your plate, or having a pillow to rest your head on every night. 39 Try doing something you used to enjoy. It can be really discouraging to do things you usually love to do and find you no longer enjoy them. Take it easy. 40 Instead of seeking enjoyment, focus on leaving the activity with a more neutral perspective, such as, ‘I’ve done something to improve the way I feel. Start with small, manageable bursts of time, such as spending 15 minutes watching a TV show or walking outside. A．Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. B．Sometimes, this state of mind becomes problematic. C．Try approaching these activities with a different purpose. D．Try to do this every day, even if you only write down one or two things. E．People experiencing anhedonia often hold beliefs across three categories. F．Engage in important social connections even if you don’t feel like socializing.

Here are my tips. 36 Besides social media, are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that? Are there certain activities, like strolling (漫步) through a high-end shopping mall, that make you envious? 37 Write how each negatively affects you. Try to stop yourself next time. ● Remind yourself that other people’s “outsides” can’t be compared to your “insides.” Usually, you can’t use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life. 38 You may have had the experience of being shocked when a couple that appeared to be happy and solid announce their divorce. Continue to wish others well, of course, but remind yourself that you don’t actually know what goes on behind closed doors. ● Repeat whenever necessary: “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” It’s well established that wealth isn’t associated with increased happiness. I used to dance flamenco at a fancy resort where very rich people go, and a manager there once told me she’d never seen so many unhappy people in her life. 39 Their inability to provide lasting contentment is usually more disappointing than anything else. ● Be grateful for the good in your life. If you commit yourself to being deeply grateful for what’s good in your life and remind yourself of it daily, you’ll be far less defenseless to comparison and envy. If someone or something triggers (引发) that ugly feeling of negative comparison, stop and remind yourself of what’s good in your life, right now. 40 A．There is so much.

Freeze produce you can’t use right away About 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food, and roughly half of all food waste occurs during  “the consumption stage”. One of the best tools to help reduce wasted food? The freezer. If you’re not ready to use fresh fruit and vegetables right away,  freeze them. 39 Cut back on plastic The plastics problem is overwhelming. 40 Are you using a bottle of body wash?  Replace it with a bar of soap.

In fact, a report from Common Sense Media says that they spend nearly one-third of their day consuming media. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are doing online. 36 . Begin conversations early. There’s no time like the present to begin speaking with your kids about their online behaviors. 37 . Remember, teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s imperative that we take time to provide parental guidance to help them navigate the virtual world. 38 . Parents often report that they feel like they lack the technical skills to keep up with their child’s online behaviors, but respectfully, I’d say that’s simply not true. It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends of the day. You don’t need to be an IT expert to be in the loop and keep current regarding what your kid does online. Also, there are many organizations that offer assistance and resources to help parents feel less intimidated and more connected. Search the Internet. Conduct random Internet searches of your kid’s full name and nicknames along with the location, like residential state or city, to see if you pull up any surprising information. Also, check for images and video in case your kid was tagged in a post he or she didn’t know about. If you find inappropriate content, work with your teen to get it removed immediately. 39 . Teach the basics. 40 . A great rule of thumb for teens is to treat others with the same respect and kindness online as they would offline. We live in a day and age where kids need our help understanding the complexities of interacting socially online and offline. And they want our help perhaps more than we may even know.

Overflowing email inboxes, housework, social obligations—it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, one simple tool that can help us stay on top of everything is the to-do list. 36 . Psychologist and author David Cohen highlights three key reasons why lists are beneficial. Firstly, they provide a respite (缓解) from chaos and anxiety that arise from having an endless stream of tasks. 37 Secondly, lists offer structure and guidance, giving us a plan to follow. And our brains are more likely to store information when it’s presented in an organized manner. Lastly, lists serve as proof of what we have achieved, which can help boost our sense of accomplishment and motivation. 38 Psychologists use this term to describe how we tend to remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones. A study conducted by researchers from Wake Forest University demonstrated the impact of the Zeigarnik effect on a group of participants. During the experiment, a warm-up task was interrupted halfway through, and only some individuals were allowed to make plans to finish it. The researchers discovered that the group who had the opportunity to plan experienced reduced anxiety and performed better in the subsequent task. 39 Thus, when we check off an item on our list, our brains can let go of it, allowing us to relax. In conclusion, it’s evident that lists are a valuable tool for maintaining control and organization in our lives. 40 By harnessing (利用) the power of lists, we can enhance our productivity and find greater peace of mind amidst life’s demands. A．Write it down, do the tasks and cross them off—simple! B．Another explanation for our attraction to lists lies in the “Zeigarnik Effect”. C．They alleviate stress, provide structure, and offer a sense of accomplishment. D．But the warm-up task remained an unchecked item on their mental to-do list. E．Meanwhile, the others still had the warm-up task stuck in their active memory. F．By writing everything down, we free up our minds and can focus on the task at hand. G．Additionally, the “Zeigarnik Effect” suggests that unfinished tasks can create a sense of mental tension. 【答案】36.A 37.F 38.B 39.E 40.C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了待办事项清单的好处和原因。 36.根据上文“Productivity can be a struggle for many of us．Overflowing email inboxes, housework, social obligations—it can be easy to feel overwhelmed．However, one simple tool that can help us stay on top of everything is the to-do list．(对我们很多人来说，提高效率是一件很困难的事情。邮箱爆满、家务、社会责任——很容易让人感到不堪重负。然而，有一个简单的工具可以帮助我们掌握一切，那就是待办事项清单。)”可知，上文提到了待办事项清单，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明如何使用这一工具。故A选项“写下来，完成任务，划掉——简单！”符合语境，故选A。 37.根据上文“Psychologist and author David Cohen highlights three key reasons why lists are beneficial．Firstly, they provide a respite (缓解) from chaos and anxiety that arise from having an endless stream of tasks．(心理学家兼作家大卫·科恩强调了清单有益的三个关键原因。首先，它们可以缓解由于没完没了的任务而产生的混乱和焦虑。)”可知，上文解释了清单“可以缓解由于没完没了的任务而产生的混乱和焦虑”，本句承接上文，对如何缓解混乱和焦虑进行具体说明。故F选项“通过把所有的事情写下来，我们可以解放我们的思想，专注于手头的任务。”符合语境，故选F。 38.根据后文“Psychologists use this term to describe how we tend to remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones．(心理学家用这个术语来描述我们如何更容易记住未完成的任务而不是完成的任务。)”可知，本句主要提出后文提到的术语，B选项中Zeigarnik Effect对应后文this term。故B选项“对我们喜欢清单的另一个解释是“蔡加尼克效应”。”符合语境，故选B。 39.根据上文“During the experiment, a warm-up task was interrupted halfway through, and only some individuals were allowed to make plans to finish it．The researchers discovered that the group who had the opportunity to plan experienced reduced anxiety and performed better in the subsequent task．(在实验中，一项热身任务中途被打断，只有一些人被允许制定完成计划。研究人员发现，有机会做计划的那组人焦虑感降低，在随后的任务中表现更好。)”可知，上文提到只有一些人被允许制定完成计划，推测本句是在说明其他人的表现。故E选项“与此同时，其他人仍然把热身任务留在他们的主动记忆中”符合语境，故选E。 40.根据上文“In conclusion, it’s evident that lists are a valuable tool for maintaining control and organization in our lives．(总之，很明显，清单是我们生活中保持控制和组织的一个有价值的工具。)”可知，本句承接上文，说明清单的具体好处。C选项中They指代上文lists。故C选项“它们减轻压力，提供结构，并提供成就感。”符合语境，故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题05 七选五（浙江专用） 话题一：生活与学习 1．（23-24高二下·浙江省舟山·期末） How to Protect Your Eyes When Using a Computer Experts agree that spending time in front of a computer may cause eye strain. While eye strain typically isn’t harmful, it can cause bothersome symptoms like dry, watery eyes, sensitivity to light and neck or shoulder pain. 36 Research suggests that making simple changes may help prevent eye strain. Reposition reference materials. 37 If they are too low or too high, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye fatigue. Actually, reference materials should be located above the keyboard and below the computer’s monitor. To help do this, use a document holder or a book to prop up materials a few inches and help rest your eyes. Blink every so often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute, but when focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer. You’ll have to be conscious of this and force yourself to blink. Deliberately blink every five seconds or so. 38 Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen for 20 seconds. Adjust your screen lighting. Your screen should be illuminated in relation to your environment. If you’re working in a brightly lit room, you can increase your brightness settings; if the room is dim, lower the settings. If your eyes are feeling strained, try adjusting your brightness settings in relation to your work environment. 39 40 Eye doctors use this term to describe the adverse effects of prolonged computer use. These symptoms are not permanent and should subside when you step away from the computer for a few hours. They can cause significant discomfort, however, and if ignored can lead to permanent eye problems. A．Fortunately, there is still a way out. B．Pause with computer vision syndrome. C．Have a break when eye strain happens. D．Improper position of materials can cause discomfort. E．If you find this too distracting, try taking breaks. F．During this time, you should blink or close your eyes. G．Anyway, your eyes often tell you what you should do. 2．（23-24高二下·浙江省台州·期末） Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up. 36 They, to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure. But despite the name, do they actually comfort us? 37 As studies have found, the brain has “hedonic hotspots” — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or “liking” of palatable (可口的) tastes, including sugary, fatty and salty foods. This can result in a dopamine (多巴胺) hit that strengthens a person’s motivation to seek palatable food rewards. Therefore, people might be encouraged by their brains to consume particular foods. But why are comfort foods generally somewhat unhealthy? Certain foods — sometimes referred to as “hyper-palatable” foods — arouse intense feelings of pleasure. They are generally easy to digest and are sweet, salty or rich. 38 So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza. Comfort foods are an attempt to feel content or a means of reducing stress, but it seems they are not always effective. In a survey of 2, 000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse. So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial. 39 Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food. Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift. 40 Individuals may just be giving comfort food credit for mood effects that would have occurred even in the absence of that particular food. A．It seems beneficial to make comfort foods. B．Healthy foods tend not to contain any of these elements. C．Comfort foods are often associated with carefree memories. D．The brain rewards people when they consume certain. foods. E．This leads to their feelings of regret and shame in the longer term. F．When feeling emotionally threatened, you often reach for comfort foods. G．Any other food, regardless of people’s desire, is also able to achieve the same outcome. 3．（23-24高二下·浙江省温州十校·期末） A Neurologist’s Tips to Protect Your Memory As we age, our memory declines. This is a fixed assumption for many people; however, according to neuroscientist Dr. Richard Restak, a neurologist and clinical professor, decline is not unavoidable. 36 . Here are some of his tips for developing and maintaining a healthy memory. Pay more attention. Some memory declines are actually attention problems, not memory problems. For instance, if you’ve forgotten the name of someone you met at a cocktail party, it could be because you were talking with several people at the time. One way to pay attention when you learn new information is to visualize the word. 37 . Play games. Dr. Restak’s “favorite working memory game” is 20 Questions — in which a group thinks of a person, place or object, and the other person, the questioner, asks 20 questions with a yes-or-no answer. To succeed, the questioner must hold all of the previous answers in memory in order to guess the correct answer. 38 . “Maintaining information and moving it around in your mind.” Restak wrote. Read more novels. One early indicator of memory issues, according to Dr. Restak, is giving up on fiction. “People, when they begin to have memory difficulties, tend to switch to reading nonfiction.” Fiction requires active engagement with the text, starting at the beginning and working through to the end. 39 . Storing everything on your phone means that “you don’t know it.” This can damage our own mental abilities. And the phone takes our focus away from the task at hand. Find regular everyday memory challenges. 40 . Dr. Restak suggested composing a grocery list and memorizing it. When you get to the store, don’t automatically pull out your list (or your phone) — instead, pick up everything according to your memory. Once in a while, get in the car without turning on your GPS, and try to navigate through the streets from memory. A．Beware of technology B．Sort out things on devices C．The point is to engage your working memory D．However, we can prevent the memory decline E．Ultimately, “we are what we can remember,” he said F．Having a picture associated with the word can improve recall G．There are many memory exercises that you can integrate into everyday life 4（23-24高二下·浙江省湖州市·期末） We all know that it’s important to stay healthy, and we often link health to exercise and diet. 36 Myopia or shortsightedness is becoming more common. It has reached epidemic levels in East Asia, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, where approaching 90% of 18-year-olds are now short-sighted. 37 According to research looking at things that are close to us, such as books, for long periods of time damages our eyes. This is especially true while our eyes are still growing. Besides, looking at screens for extended periods can cause harm as well. So, what can we do to protect our eyes? 38 However, this isn’t always possible at school. In this case, we can follow a practical rule called the 20-20-20 rule. This says that every 20 minutes, we should spend 20 seconds looking at something at least 20 feet (six meters) away. This will help us to exercise our eyes properly. 39 There are many other common eye diseases, such as dry eye disease. This chronic problem can be caused by environmental factors. Some of these include blue light from screens as well as exposure to wind and air conditioning. Dry eye disease can result in burning pain and the feeling of something in the eye. 40 What you might need to do is to use hot compresses (敷布), carefully wash your eyelids and eyelashes, and use eye drops. However, there are different types of dry eye disease. So, if you think you have this problem, speak to your doctor for advice. A．The underlying reasons for this trend are clear. B．That may be related to reading for extended periods of time. C．As a part of this, we must consider the health of our eyes, too. D．Myopia isn’t the only problem we can have with our eyes, though. E．Once this problem appears, it can’t be cured, but it can be managed. F．Therefore, there is a concern that the health of our eyes might be at risk. G．The clearest thing is to spend more time on activities involving looking at varying distances. 5．（23-24高二下·浙江省宁波·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.

With just a few clicks, you’re flooded with vacation photos, updates, and ads. 36 In this article, we’ll teach you how to avoid certain triggers (触发因素) so you can stop comparing yourself to others. Identify your triggers and avoid them. To stop comparing yourself to others, pay attention to the people or events that trigger your behavior. Do you feel dissatisfaction with your life after looking at high-end goods? 37 Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations. Appreciate others instead of. envying them. 38 If you have friends who are highly achieving people, you might consider that their networks are full of people who might be able to help you become more successful in your life. Instead of envying their success, be supportive and use their success to your benefit. 39 Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses,” reflect on the areas you can improve. Take classes, workshops, or lessons to improve your skills, and don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. By putting yourself first, you can promote your self-confidence and find your place and value. Talk to a trusted friend or family member.

But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake. Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 37 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around. 38 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article. Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 39 Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. 40 If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you. A．It’s okay to be doubtful! B．Double-check the quote or the post. C．Confirm the source and date of the information.

While anhedonia appears similar to boredom, it’s distinct in that it’s usually coupled with a loss of motivation to even give things a try. 36 So what can be done to deal with it? Here’s how you can bounce back from this joyless state of mind. Keep a thought worksheet to investigate negative thinking. 37 They might have negative views of themselves, combined with negative views of the world and of the future. Keeping a thought worksheet can help restructure the beliefs. Write about a situation that happened, the moods you felt, and the automatic thoughts you had. Then write down evidence that supports the automatic thought driving the moods, and evidence that does not support it. 38 You’re looking not only at the negative aspects, but the neutral (中立的) and positive aspects. Keep a daily record of things you’re grateful for. Listing simple things you’re grateful for brings the forgotten positive aspects of our lives to the front of our mind. You may be grateful for having food on your plate, or having a pillow to rest your head on every night. 39 Try doing something you used to enjoy. It can be really discouraging to do things you usually love to do and find you no longer enjoy them. Take it easy. 40 Instead of seeking enjoyment, focus on leaving the activity with a more neutral perspective, such as, ‘I’ve done something to improve the way I feel. Start with small, manageable bursts of time, such as spending 15 minutes watching a TV show or walking outside. A．Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. B．Sometimes, this state of mind becomes problematic. C．Try approaching these activities with a different purpose. D．Try to do this every day, even if you only write down one or two things.

We see it in the architecture of our buildings, the design of everyday objects like our phones, the clothes we wear, and the music we listen to. Being creative is enjoyable and productive. 36 So what can you practically do to help develop your creativity? Practice is crucial. One person who showed its importance was the artist Pablo Picasso. He is famous for creating daring new painting styles, but it wasn’t by accident. He spent years experimenting with the traditional rules of art. 37 Another way you can stimulate your creativity is by learning from others in your field. You can gain new insights and techniques by studying the works of other artists, designers, or professionals. 38 Additionally, interacting with fellow creatives can provide valuable feedback and support, helping you to grow and develop your skills. Creative people are also usually working in a field they love. They are generally more motivated by a love of what they do, rather than money. 39 Then enjoyment becomes the reward, which in turn motivates you to keep being creative. If you know your field inside out you will have the confidence to take risks and allow your creativity to blossom. 40 From techniques that allow your mind to think more originally, to learning from past creative masters, there are practical ways to help you use your imagination to create something original.

Find a diet that works Trendy diets are often extreme, but that’s not going to help you sustain a healthy lifestyle. “As a general standard your diet should consist of 20-30 per cent fat, 40-50 per cent carbs and 25-30 per cent protein,” says Farren Morgan, a military fitness coach. 47 Run a 5k You don’t have to run the length of Africa. Training for your local ParkRun — a weekly group 5k — is a great place to start. Fran Bungay says,“ 37 Alternating a minute running with a minute walking is fine to begin with. Once you can run for 20 minutes, try to push for 30.” Remove back pain “Spending all day at a desk can lead to tight hips, which may then lead to pain in the lower back and shoulders,” Clift says.“ 38 ” You can also try the knee twist. Lie on your back and bring your knees up to your chest, before slowly lowering them to the left and to the right while keeping your back flat on the floor. Make the gym a habit Studies have found that activity trackers can help people develop healthy routines over the long term, and that it always takes about 66 days to form a lasting habit. 40 A．Aim for three 20-minute training a week. B．It doesn’t have to be all or nothing, however. C．Squats help to strengthen your back and core, and will burn calories. D．Use the True Coach app to track your goals and receive personalized feedback. E．Get this right, and drink certain amount of water a day, and your body should adapt quickly. F．Yoga and Pilates can help, as well as taking regular breaks or investing in a standing desk. G．Use the Class Pass app to book fitness classes without having to commit to a full membership. 6．（23-24高二下·浙江省杭州·期末） Stop Comparing Yourself to Others Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” But how can we stop playing the comparison game? Here are my tips. 36 Besides social media, are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that? Are there certain activities, like strolling (漫步) through a high-end shopping mall, that make you envious? 37 Write how each negatively affects you. Try to stop yourself next time. ● Remind yourself that other people’s “outsides” can’t be compared to your “insides.” Usually, you can’t use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life. 38 You may have had the experience of being shocked when a couple that appeared to be happy and solid announce their divorce. Continue to wish others well, of course, but remind yourself that you don’t actually know what goes on behind closed doors. ● Repeat whenever necessary: “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” It’s well established that wealth isn’t associated with increased happiness. I used to dance flamenco at a fancy resort where very rich people go, and a manager there once told me she’d never seen so many unhappy people in her life. 39 Their inability to provide lasting contentment is usually more disappointing than anything else. ● Be grateful for the good in your life. If you commit yourself to being deeply grateful for what’s good in your life and remind yourself of it daily, you’ll be far less defenseless to comparison and envy. If someone or something triggers (引发) that ugly feeling of negative comparison, stop and remind yourself of what’s good in your life, right now. 40 A．There is so much. B．Identify the causes and control your envy. C．Use comparison to make yourself a better person. D．Money and things provide temporary boosts of joy. E．Make a list of who and what you frequently compare yourself to. F．Being envious of another person’s money may be a waste of time. G．People carefully select and share the social media versions of their lives. 7．（23-24高二下·浙江省衢州·期末） No matter where you are on the planet, the effects of the climate crisis are vast and real.  We know individual actions can only get us so far, and solving the issue of climate change is the job of governments. 36 Here are some tips for what we individuals can do to help work toward a more sustainable future. Switch to climate friendly home appliances By using home appliances and vehicles that run on electricity, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and leave more fossil fuels in the ground. Here are a few appliances to consider, such as clothing dryers with the  “Energy Star”  label and water heaters that use heat pump technology. 37 So don’t feel like you have to change out your appliances overnight. Instead, buy them as your existing machines wear out. Eat less meat Meat production is hard on the environment: It requires a lot of land to raise cattle —and globally, many forests are being cleared to make room for those animals. 38 If people could cut back their beef consumption, it could have a major impact on creating a more sustainable food system. Freeze produce you can’t use right away About 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food, and roughly half of all food waste occurs during  “the consumption stage”. One of the best tools to help reduce wasted food? The freezer. If you’re not ready to use fresh fruit and vegetables right away,  freeze them. 39 Cut back on plastic The plastics problem is overwhelming. 40 Are you using a bottle of body wash?  Replace it with a bar of soap. Bring your own bags for groceries instead of packing your goods in plastic bags, or your favorite reusable cup to your local coffee shop. A．This locks in flavor and nutrients. B．But we also know that our decisions matter. C．And cows themselves release a lot of methane. D．That means we should not use the old appliances any more.

Remember, teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s imperative that we take time to provide parental guidance to help them navigate the virtual world. 38 . Parents often report that they feel like they lack the technical skills to keep up with their child’s online behaviors, but respectfully, I’d say that’s simply not true. It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends of the day. You don’t need to be an IT expert to be in the loop and keep current regarding what your kid does online. Also, there are many organizations that offer assistance and resources to help parents feel less intimidated and more connected. Search the Internet. Conduct random Internet searches of your kid’s full name and nicknames along with the location, like residential state or city, to see if you pull up any surprising information. Also, check for images and video in case your kid was tagged in a post he or she didn’t know about. If you find inappropriate content, work with your teen to get it removed immediately. 39 . Teach the basics. 40 . A great rule of thumb for teens is to treat others with the same respect and kindness online as they would offline. We live in a day and age where kids need our help understanding the complexities of interacting socially online and offline. And they want our help perhaps more than we may even know. A．Stay current with what’s trending. B．Keep up with kids’ online behaviors. C．If not, repeat the procedure until you find any. D．These conversations need to be a priority and occur regularly. E．If need be, contact the service provider to help take down the content. F．Fortunately, there are some ways to stay connected and keep kids safe. G．Kids should understand that device ownership comes with a high level of discipline. 2．（23-24高二下·浙江省环大罗山联盟·期末） Productivity can be a struggle for many of us. Overflowing email inboxes, housework, social obligations—it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, one simple tool that can help us stay on top of everything is the to-do list. 36 . Psychologist and author David Cohen highlights three key reasons why lists are beneficial. Firstly, they provide a respite (缓解) from chaos and anxiety that arise from having an endless stream of tasks. 37 Secondly, lists offer structure and guidance, giving us a plan to follow. And our brains are more likely to store information when it’s presented in an organized manner. Lastly, lists serve as proof of what we have achieved, which can help boost our sense of accomplishment and motivation. 38 Psychologists use this term to describe how we tend to remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones. A study conducted by researchers from Wake Forest University demonstrated the impact of the Zeigarnik effect on a group of participants. During the experiment, a warm-up task was interrupted halfway through, and only some individuals were allowed to make plans to finish it. The researchers discovered that the group who had the opportunity to plan experienced reduced anxiety and performed better in the subsequent task. 39 Thus, when we check off an item on our list, our brains can let go of it, allowing us to relax. In conclusion, it’s evident that lists are a valuable tool for maintaining control and organization in our lives. 40 By harnessing (利用) the power of lists, we can enhance our productivity and find greater peace of mind amidst life’s demands. A．Write it down, do the tasks and cross them off—simple! B．Another explanation for our attraction to lists lies in the “Zeigarnik Effect”. C．They alleviate stress, provide structure, and offer a sense of accomplishment. D．But the warm-up task remained an unchecked item on their mental to-do list. E．Meanwhile, the others still had the warm-up task stuck in their active memory. F．By writing everything down, we free up our minds and can focus on the task at hand. G．Additionally, the “Zeigarnik Effect” suggests that unfinished tasks can create a sense of mental tension. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
