专题04 七选五 （一） （内蒙古部分名校2023-2024高二下期末试题） How to Tolerate Those You Have a Personality Conflict With? Living or working with people who have very different personalities or beliefs from you can present challenges. 1 Here are some strategics to help you navigate these difficult interactions and maintain healthy relationships and a harmonious environment. 2 In many cases, a personality conflict arises because of expectations, differences of opinion, or some other underlying issues. Consider if you’ve had a bad experience with the person, or if you’re relying on rumors (谣言) or someone else’s conflict to inform your opinion on the person. Figuring out the roots may help you realize that your conflict is foolish. Get to know the person. Every person has their own perspectives that are formed based on their experiences. Consider where this person is coming from through his or her behaviors. 3 Acknowledging that his or her perspectives differ from yours can help you to give the person a chance. Identify the virtues in the person. Holding on to negative thoughts and attitudes about another person is draining (使心力交瘁的). 4 Learn to see the positive in any person. Even the worst person has good qualities. It might take some time to recognize them, but being able to see the positive traits in a person can help you to shift your relationship with him or her. Limit interactions with the person. If you genuinely find it challenging to put up with someone, minimize interactions with him or her. There are different ways to achieve it. For example, if you are at social settings, don’t sit near him or her or move if he or she is close to you. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to engage with the person either professionally or personally. 5 A．Let go of your expectations. B．You are ultimately the judge of your situation. C．Determine the source of your conflict with the person. D．When you constantly harbor them, they can become stronger. E．Should this occur, remember to keep the contact civil and polite. F．Relevant context information can help you accept the person as he or she is. G．However, learning to tolerate and manage these differences is mentally crucial. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．F 4．D 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何容忍与你性格有冲突的人提出建议。 1．根据上文“Living or working with people who have very different personalities or beliefs from you can present challenges.(与个性或信仰与你截然不同的人一起生活或工作可能会带来挑战。)”和下文“Here are some strategics to help you navigate these difficult interactions and maintain healthy relationships and a harmonious environment.(这里有一些策略可以帮助你应对这些困难的互动，保持健康的关系和和谐的环境。)”可知，上文提到与个性或信仰与你截然不同的人一起生活或工作可能会带来挑战，下文提到有一些策略可以解决这个问题，空处应该承上启下，指出学会应对这种挑战的重要性。G项：However, learning to tolerate and manage these differences is mentally crucial.(然而，学会容忍和管理这些差异在心理上是至关重要的。)符合语境。故选G。 2．空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Figuring out the roots may help you realize that your conflict is foolish.(找出根源可能会帮助你意识到你的冲突是愚蠢的。)”可知，本段建议找出冲突的根源。C项：Determine the source of your conflict with the person.(确定你与对方冲突的根源。)符合语境。C项中的“source”和下文中的“roots”对应。故选C。 3．根据上文“Get to know the person. Every person has their own perspectives that are formed based on their experiences. Consider where this person is coming from through his or her behaviors.(了解这个人。每个人都有自己的基于自己经历而形成的观点。通过他的行为来思考这个人是怎么来的。)”可知，上文提到要考虑这个人的经历和行为，而F选项中的“Relevant context information”指的是与这个人相关的背景信息，这些信息可以帮助你接受他或她原本的样子。所以F项：Relevant context information can help you accept the person as he or she is.(相关的语境信息可以帮助你接受这个人的本来面目。)符合语境。故选F。 4．根据上文“Holding on to negative thoughts and attitudes about another person is draining (使心力交瘁的).(坚持对另一个人的消极想法和态度会让人心力交瘁。)”和下文“Learn to see the positive in any person.(学会看到别人积极的一面。)”可知，上文提到坚持对另一个人的消极想法和态度是消耗精力的，而下文则提到学会看到任何人的积极面，因此可以推断出空处需要一个过渡句。D项：When you constantly harbor them, they can become stronger.(当你不断保持这些消极想法时，它们会变得更强)符合语境，D项中的“them”指代上文中的“negative thoughts and attitudes”。故选D。 5．根据上文“Nevertheless, sometimes you have to engage with the person either professionally or personally.(尽管如此，有时候你还是必须和这个人进行专业或私人的接触。)”可知，上文提到有时候不得不与这个人进行专业或个人交流。E项：Should this occur, remember to keep the contact civil and polite.(如果发生这种情况，记得要保持文明和礼貌的联系。)承接上文，表示如果发生这种情况，要记得保持礼貌和文明的联系。故选E。 （二） （呼伦贝尔市满洲里市第一中学2022-2023高二下期末试题） Have you ever had someone tell you, “If you eat before bed, you're going to get fat” 1 But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢)slows down when you're asleep. With a slower metabolism, fewer calories are being burned. Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be bumped off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little while you are asleep. The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. 2 So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories. 3 Carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are one of your body's main sources of energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat. Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall. 4 It has little to do with the time when you eat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack' at night? Although there is a relation between the two, it is simply a result of eating too many calories! Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter. 5 . A．All of these actions take energy. B．That is to say, you will not get fat if you eat before bed. C．Anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat. D．Food consumed late at night will more likely be stored away. E．Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true. F．Simply speaking, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. G．There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．G 4．F 5．B 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就深夜吃东西会不会发胖进行探究。最后结果表明，如果你摄入的卡路里比你燃烧的多，你就会发胖。这和你吃饭的时间没有多大关系。 1．根据上文Have you ever had someone tell you, “If you eat before bed, you're going to get fat”（ 你有没有听过别人告诉你，“如果你睡前吃东西，你会发胖”）以及下文中But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight?（但是深夜进食，特别是晚上8点以后，真的会让你发胖吗？）故E项（Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true）没有人质疑过，人们很快就会认为这是真的。E项中的it指代上文的睡前吃会发胖。故E项承上启下，符合题意。故选E。 2．根据上文The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active.（心脏还在跳动，肺还在工作，大脑还很活跃）以及下文So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.（所以当我们睡着的时候，我们仍然在燃烧卡路里。）故A项（All of these actions take energy.）所有这些行动都需要能量。A项中的these指代上文中的“The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active”，故A项承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 3．根据第二段中第一种理论是One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢)slows down when you're asleep.当你睡着的时候，你的新陈代谢会减慢。此处讲的是第二种理论，即Carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are one of your body's main sources of energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat. 碳水化合物是你身体的主要能量来源之一。当它们闲置时，它们主要以脂肪的形式储存。然而，一天中碳水化合物被消耗的时间并不能决定有多少碳水化合物被储存为脂肪。故G项（There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed）关于睡前吃碳水化合物还有另一种理论。符合题意。故选G。 4．根据上文中Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall. 实际上，体重增加是基于摄入的卡路里总量和的卡路里总量。故F项（Simply speaking, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight）简单地说，如果你摄入的卡路里比你燃烧的多，你就会发胖。是对上文的简单解释。故F项符合题意。故选F。 4．根据上文中Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter. 人们在夜间吃的零食通常含糖量和卡路里都很高，比如冰淇淋、糖果、薯片和软饮料。这些零食的消费时间并不重要。故B项（That is to say, you will not get fat if you eat before bed.）也就是说，如果你睡前吃东西，你不会发胖。B项是对上文的总结，符合题意。故选B。 （三） （内蒙古自治区赤峰市2023-2024高二下期末试题） Having healthy boundaries is key for preserving your mental and emotional health, but boundaries in relationships can seem confusing and hard to define at times.   1 . Identify your limits. For some of us, it can be hard to know whether a boundary has been crossed or a limit overstepped until after the fact. The first step to setting boundaries is to identify what your limits are. And the key to identifying them is to listen to your first reaction of whether you have the time or energy to commit to something. Clearly communicate your boundaries. Once you’ve gotten an understanding of some concrete and specific boundaries you’d like to set in your life, you can move to the next step.   2 . So, finding a straightforward and genuine way to communicate your needs is key to setting and maintaining these boundaries. Practice what you want to say. Practicing what you want to say and how to say it will increase your chances of successfully setting a boundary. Be sure to know how you want to communicate your needs and limits ahead of time. 3 . Avoid over-apologizing or over-explaining. 4 , some people can fall into a tendency to over apologize or explain the reason why they’re setting a limit. But really, saying no doesn’t have to be rude or require an explanation. 5 . It is important to stand your ground and be consistent with your original decision. Especially if you’re setting boundaries with someone for the first time, it might be helpful to prepare how to respond if they push back. A．Be consistent with your boundaries B．Though it may seem a good manner C．Assume that others know your limits D．In an effort to be polite and avoid seeming rude E．You need to express your needs and limits to others F．That will enable you to say it in the moment more easily G．Here are some tips on how we can set and maintain healthy boundaries 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．F 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何在人际关系中设定和维护健康的界限。 1．空前“Having healthy boundaries is key for preserving your mental and emotional health, but boundaries in relationships can seem confusing and hard to define at times.(拥有健康的界限是保持精神和情感健康的关键，但关系中的界限有时似乎令人困惑，很难界定)”说明拥有健康界限的重要性以及拥有健康界限是有点困难的，由空后每一段的首句可知，接下来要讲一些保持健康界限的方法，G选项“Here are some tips on how we can set and maintain healthy boundaries (这里有一些关于我们如何设定和保持健康界限的建议)”引出后文的一些保持健康界限的建议，承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 2．空后“So, finding a straightforward and genuine way to communicate your needs is key to setting and maintaining these boundaries.(所以，找到一种直接而真诚的方式来表达你的需求是设定和维持这些界限的关键)”说明了表达自己的需求是保持这些界限的关键，空格处应该和表达自己的需求有关，E选项“You need to express your needs and limits to others (你需要向他人表达你的需求和限制)”说明了你需要表达自己的需求，其中的needs和空后的needs一致，因此E选项引起下文，符合语境，故选E。 3．空前“Practicing what you want to say and how to say it will increase your chances of successfully setting a boundary. Be sure to know how you want to communicate your needs and limits ahead of time.(练习你想说什么以及怎么说会增加你成功设定界限的机会。一定要提前知道你想要如何表达你的需求和限制)”说明了要提前知道自己表达需求的方式，空格处应该说这么做的好处，F选项“That will enable you to say it in the moment more easily (这将使你在当下更容易说出来)”说明了知道自己表达需求的方式可以使自己更容易地表达，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 4．空后“some people can fall into a tendency to over apologize or explain the reason why they’re setting a limit(有些人可能会倾向于过度道歉或解释他们设定限制的原因)”说明有的人会倾向于过度道歉或解释他们设定限制的原因，空格处应该说他们这么做的目的，D选项“In an effort to be polite and avoid seeming rude (为了礼貌，避免显得粗鲁)”说明的是他们过度道歉的目的是为了礼貌，空处引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 5．空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“It is important to stand your ground and be consistent with your original decision.(坚持你的立场，坚持你最初的决定是很重要的)”可知，本段主要讲的是要坚持自己最初的决定，A选项“Be consistent with your boundaries (坚持你的底线)”说明了要坚持自己的底线，其中的Be consistent with和空后的be consistent with一致，可作为本段主题句，故选A。 （四） （内蒙古包头铁路第一中学2022-2023高二下期末试题） Choosing a career path is one of the most important decisions that senior high graduates have to make. 1 Therefore, it is essential to consider various factors before making a final decision.

You think to yourself: Is this person getting too close to me? The answer is yes. 1 But how big is this space? According to a new study, the size of the space is different for different people, 2 , reported Los Angeles Times. In the study, researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at different distances from their face. They then gave them an electric shock on their hands while measuring how often the volunteers blinked (眨眼). The more they blinked, 3 . The results among volunteers were a little different, but the average personal space was 20 to 40 centimeters. Researchers also found that the more anxious a person was, the larger their personal space was because they were more sensitive. Besides psychological factors, 4 . For example, a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people. 5 . “If you are chatting with some one in your living room, you won’t have a large safety space at all,” explained researcher Gian Domenico Iannetti. “But if you are walking through a dangerous area, then that will be much bigger.” Sadly, sometimes people just don’t understand the idea of personal space and keep getting into yours. Whenever that happens, rather than trying to step backwards, researchers suggest that you “create a new space” by turning to wave at someone passing by or to get something out of your bag. A．Everyone has a sense of personal space B．it shows that they are worried about their hands C．the more of a threat they felt the shock was to their face D．but generally it is between 20 to 40 centimeters in front of the face E．culture is also thought to be able to change your personal space F．People’s senses of personal space also depend on the environments they are in G．It is clear that people’s senses of personal space are considered to be very important 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．E 5．F 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了影响每个人都有的个人空间感的因素。 ．根据上文“You think to yourself: Is this person getting too close to me? The answer is yes. (你会想:这个人是不是离我太近了?答案是肯定的。)”以及下文“But how big is this space? (但是这个空间有多大呢?)”可知，空格处应该说明的时私人空间有关。选项A.  Everyone has a sense of personal space (每个人都有个人空间感)中的personal space与下文中的space相呼应，能够承上启下。故选A。 2．根据上文“According to a new study, the size of the space is different for different people (根据一项新的研究，不同的人的空间大小是不同的)”可知，空格处需要说明的是个人空间的大小。选项D. but generally it is between 20 to 40 centimeters in front of the face (但一般是在脸前面20到40厘米之间)说明的是通常情况下私人空间的大小，能够承接上文。故选D。 3．根据上文“In the study, researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at different distances from their face. They then gave them an electric shock on their hands while measuring how often the volunteers blinked (眨眼). (在这项研究中，伦敦大学学院的研究人员要求志愿者把手放在离脸不同距离的地方。然后，他们对志愿者的手进行电击，同时测量他们眨眼的频率。)”以及空格前句“The more they blinked (他们眨得越多)”可知，空格处应该说明的是眨眼对他们的影响。选项C. the more of a threat they felt the shock was to their fac (他们觉得电击对他们的脸的威胁越大)中的the more of a threat与上文中的The more they blinked相呼应；所以选项C能够承接上文。故选C。 4．根据上文“Besides psychological factors (除了心理因素)”以及下文“For example, a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people.

People’s senses of personal space also depend on the environments they are in (人们对个人空间的感觉也取决于他们所处的环境)能够作为本段的主题句，下文中的living room与dangerous area分别说明的是不同的环境。故选F。 （六） （内蒙古赤峰市2022-2023高二下期末市级联考试题） Creativity is all about finding new ways of solving problems.

Watering due to weather Changes in seasons typically can cause changes to the eye due to the amount of humidity in the air and allergens. As winter approaches and we increase heat at home, work and in the car, the air loses humidity, which causes the eye to become very dry. 2 But the type of tear produced doesn’t help lubricate (润滑) the eye and results in watering of these extra tears. Pink eye Pink eye is one of the most frustrating eye conditions. It commonly causes red and very watery eyes. 3 It is contagious (接触传染的) and can lake multiple weeks to resolve. Unfortunately, since pink eye is usually caused by a virus, no antibiotic eye drop can resolve the condition. Watering and dry eye 4 Tears are made of three ingredients and, if there’s an imbalance in these, the tears won’t stay on the eye and will result in watering. Most commonly, it’s because the oil layer of the tears is lacking. Eye scratches A scratch on the cornea (角膜) is extremely painful and will cause redness, blurred vision and watering. The cornea is one of the most sensitive parts of the body and usually heals quickly with appropriate treatment. If you think your eye is scratched, it’s best to see your eye doctor as soon as possible. 5 A．Otherwise, it can easily become infected. B．Most pink eye is caused by a virus, like the common cold. C．So your eyes try to help increase the amount of tears produced. D．This can cause redness and dryness of the eyelid itself and watering. E．Even just walking through an area with allergens can cause eyes to water. F．It seems not logical, but watering is the most bothersome sign of dry eye. G．If your eyes water suddenly, watch the environmental factors you’re being exposed to. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍眼睛流泪的原因以及环境因素可能有助于解释为什么会发生这种情况。 1．根据上文提示“Your eyes can water for many reasons, including weather, allergies (过敏) or, more seriously, an infection.（眼睛流泪的原因有很多，包括天气、过敏，或者更严重的是感染。）”可知，设空处应该在说眼睛流泪的原因。承接上文，G项If your eyes water suddenly, watch the environmental factors you’re being exposed to.（如果你的眼睛突然流泪，注意你所接触的环境因素。）切题。故选G。 2．根据上文提示“As winter approaches and we increase heat at home, work and in the car, the air loses humidity, which causes the eye to become very dry.（随着冬天的临近，我们在家里、办公室和车里增加了热量，空气失去了湿度，这导致眼睛变得非常干燥。）”再根据下文提示“But the type of tear produced doesn’t help lubricate (润滑) the eye and results in watering of these extra tears.（但是产生的这种眼泪并不能润滑眼睛，反而会导致这些多余的眼泪流出来。）”可知，眼睛变得干燥，眼睛会帮助产生眼泪。承接上下文，C项So your eyes try to help increase the amount of tears produced.（所以你的眼睛试图帮助增加眼泪的产生量。）切题。故选C。 3．根据该段小标题Pink eye和上文提示“Pink eye is one of the most frustrating eye conditions. It commonly causes red and very watery eyes.（红眼病是最令人沮丧的眼病之一。它通常会导致眼睛发红和流泪。）”可知，设空处应该在说导致红眼病的原因。承接上文，B项Most pink eye is caused by a virus, like the common cold.（大多数红眼病是由病毒引起的，比如普通感冒。）切题。故选B。 4．根据该段小标题Watering and dry eye和下文提示“Tears are made of three ingredients and, if there’s an imbalance in these, the tears won’t stay on the eye and will result in watering. Most commonly, it’s because the oil layer of the tears is lacking. （眼泪是由三种成分组成的，如果这三种成分不平衡，眼泪就不会留在眼睛上，而会导致流泪。最常见的是，这是因为眼泪的油层缺乏。）”，可知，设空处应该在说流泪。顺承下文，F项It seems not logical, but watering is the most bothersome sign of dry eye.（这似乎不合逻辑，但流泪是干眼症最令人烦恼的迹象。）切题。故选F。 5．根据上文提示“If you think your eye is scratched, it's best to see your eye doctor as soon as possible.（如果你认为你的眼睛被抓伤了，最好尽快去看眼科医生。）”可知，下文应该在说不去看会产生的后果。承接上文，A项Otherwise, it can easily become infected.（否则，很容易感染。）切题。故选A。 （九） （内蒙古自治区巴彦淖尔市2023-2024高二下期末试题） How to Talk Without Offending (冒犯) Anyone If you feel like conversations are a potential minefield and you’re worried about unintentionally offending someone, you’re not alone. Here are some ways for you to avoid offending others. THINK before you speak THINK is an acronym (首字母缩略词) that stands for the 5 things any constructive criticism should be: True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind. 1 . If what you have to say meets all the 5 criteria, it’s unlikely that the person you’re talking to will be hurt.

What is necessary is making sure they don’t do the same thing again, and you can often accomplish this without criticizing them for something negative they did. 3 Words that you have no problem with might be hurtful to others. Usually, when you’re talking to someone, you don’t know what experiences they’ve had or what trauma they’ve gone through. If someone is hurt by something you’ve said, accept that—don’t question it or insult them over it. Accept people with an open mind Show that you’re willing to listen to other ideas and viewpoints. Not everybody is going to agree with you and there’s nothing wrong with that. 4 . In this way, you can learn something about yourself and other people.

(THINK是一个首字母缩略词，代表了任何建设性批评都应该具备的5个要素：真实、有益、鼓舞人心、必要和善意)”解释THINK的含义，提出建设性批评应具备的5个要素，后文“If what you have to say meets all the 5 criteria, it’s unlikely that the person you’re talking to will be hurt. (如果你要说的话符合这5条标准，那么和你谈话的人就不太可能受到伤害)”指出遵循这5条标准带来的好处，因此E项“Use this acronym to plan what you’ll say before tough conversations (用这个缩略词来计划在艰难的对话之前要说什么)”符合语境，建议按照THINK的要素来安排说话的内容，承上启下，其中的this acronym指代前文的THINK。故选E。 2．后文“What is necessary is making sure they don’t do the same thing again, and you can often accomplish this without criticizing them for something negative they did. (必要的是确保他们不会再做同样的事情，你通常可以做到这一点，而不用批评他们所做的消极事情)”指出必要的事情是什么，建议不要批评他人所做的错事，因此D项“Pointing out what someone did wrong is often not necessary (指出别人做错了什么通常是没有必要的)”符合语境，说明没有必要的事情是什么，引出后文，其中的Pointing out what someone did wrong和本段标题中的pointing out a fault呼应，not necessary和后文的necessary相对立。故选D。 3．根据后文“Words that you have no problem with might be hurtful to others. Usually, when you’re talking to someone, you don’t know what experiences they’ve had or what trauma they’ve gone through. If someone is hurt by something you’ve said, accept that—don’t question it or insult them over it. (你觉得没有问题的话可能会伤害到别人。通常，当你和某人交谈时，你不知道他们有什么经历，或者他们经历了什么创伤。如果有人被你说的话伤害了，接受这一点——不要质疑或因此而侮辱他们)”可知，本段主要建议不能仅从自己的角度考虑问题，要考虑到每个人的具体经历，尊重他人的真实感受，空处是段落标题，应该与从他人的经历出发，尊重他人相关，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Respect each person’s individuality (尊重每个人的个性)”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选A。 4．前文“Not everybody is going to agree with you and there’s nothing wrong with that. (不是每个人都会同意你的观点，这没什么错)”指出有不同意见是正常的，后文“In this way, you can learn something about yourself and other people. (通过这种方式，你可以了解一些关于你自己和其他人的事情)”说明某种做法的好处，因此F项“Listen to others and try to understand why people think the way they do (倾听别人的想法，试着理解为什么人们会这样想)”符合语境，建议倾听别人的想法，承上启下。故选F。 5．前文“It takes courage for someone to stand up for themselves when they’re offended by something someone else said.

Living or working with people who have very different personalities or beliefs from you can present challenges. 1 Here are some strategics to help you navigate these difficult interactions and maintain healthy relationships and a harmonious environment. 2 In many cases, a personality conflict arises because of expectations, differences of opinion, or some other underlying issues. Consider if you’ve had a bad experience with the person, or if you’re relying on rumors (谣言) or someone else’s conflict to inform your opinion on the person. Figuring out the roots may help you realize that your conflict is foolish. Get to know the person. Every person has their own perspectives that are formed based on their experiences. Consider where this person is coming from through his or her behaviors. 3 Acknowledging that his or her perspectives differ from yours can help you to give the person a chance. Identify the virtues in the person. Holding on to negative thoughts and attitudes about another person is draining (使心力交瘁的). 4 Learn to see the positive in any person. Even the worst person has good qualities. It might take some time to recognize them, but being able to see the positive traits in a person can help you to shift your relationship with him or her. Limit interactions with the person. If you genuinely find it challenging to put up with someone, minimize interactions with him or her. There are different ways to achieve it. For example, if you are at social settings, don’t sit near him or her or move if he or she is close to you. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to engage with the person either professionally or personally. 5 A．Let go of your expectations. B．You are ultimately the judge of your situation. C．Determine the source of your conflict with the person. D．When you constantly harbor them, they can become stronger. E．Should this occur, remember to keep the contact civil and polite. F．Relevant context information can help you accept the person as he or she is. G．However, learning to tolerate and manage these differences is mentally crucial. （二） （呼伦贝尔市满洲里市第一中学2022-2023高二下期末试题） Have you ever had someone tell you, “If you eat before bed, you're going to get fat” 1 But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢)slows down when you're asleep. With a slower metabolism, fewer calories are being burned. Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be bumped off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little while you are asleep. The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. 2 So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories. 3 Carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are one of your body's main sources of energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat. Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall. 4 It has little to do with the time when you eat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack' at night? Although there is a relation between the two, it is simply a result of eating too many calories! Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter. 5 . A．All of these actions take energy. B．That is to say, you will not get fat if you eat before bed. C．Anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat. D．Food consumed late at night will more likely be stored away. E．Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true. F．Simply speaking, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. G．There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed. （三） （内蒙古自治区赤峰市2023-2024高二下期末试题） Having healthy boundaries is key for preserving your mental and emotional health, but boundaries in relationships can seem confusing and hard to define at times.   1 . Identify your limits. For some of us, it can be hard to know whether a boundary has been crossed or a limit overstepped until after the fact. The first step to setting boundaries is to identify what your limits are. And the key to identifying them is to listen to your first reaction of whether you have the time or energy to commit to something. Clearly communicate your boundaries. Once you’ve gotten an understanding of some concrete and specific boundaries you’d like to set in your life, you can move to the next step.   2 . So, finding a straightforward and genuine way to communicate your needs is key to setting and maintaining these boundaries. Practice what you want to say. Practicing what you want to say and how to say it will increase your chances of successfully setting a boundary. Be sure to know how you want to communicate your needs and limits ahead of time. 3 . Avoid over-apologizing or over-explaining. 4 , some people can fall into a tendency to over apologize or explain the reason why they’re setting a limit. But really, saying no doesn’t have to be rude or require an explanation. 5 . It is important to stand your ground and be consistent with your original decision. Especially if you’re setting boundaries with someone for the first time, it might be helpful to prepare how to respond if they push back. A．Be consistent with your boundaries B．Though it may seem a good manner C．Assume that others know your limits D．In an effort to be polite and avoid seeming rude E．You need to express your needs and limits to others F．That will enable you to say it in the moment more easily G．Here are some tips on how we can set and maintain healthy boundaries （四） （内蒙古包头铁路第一中学2022-2023高二下期末试题） Choosing a career path is one of the most important decisions that senior high graduates have to make. 1 Therefore, it is essential to consider various factors before making a final decision.

You think to yourself: Is this person getting too close to me? The answer is yes. 1 But how big is this space? According to a new study, the size of the space is different for different people, 2 , reported Los Angeles Times. In the study, researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at different distances from their face. They then gave them an electric shock on their hands while measuring how often the volunteers blinked (眨眼). The more they blinked, 3 . The results among volunteers were a little different, but the average personal space was 20 to 40 centimeters. Researchers also found that the more anxious a person was, the larger their personal space was because they were more sensitive. Besides psychological factors, 4 . For example, a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people. 5 . “If you are chatting with some one in your living room, you won’t have a large safety space at all,” explained researcher Gian Domenico Iannetti. “But if you are walking through a dangerous area, then that will be much bigger.” Sadly, sometimes people just don’t understand the idea of personal space and keep getting into yours. Whenever that happens, rather than trying to step backwards, researchers suggest that you “create a new space” by turning to wave at someone passing by or to get something out of your bag. A．Everyone has a sense of personal space B．it shows that they are worried about their hands C．the more of a threat they felt the shock was to their face D．but generally it is between 20 to 40 centimeters in front of the face E．culture is also thought to be able to change your personal space F．People’s senses of personal space also depend on the environments they are in G．It is clear that people’s senses of personal space are considered to be very important （六） （内蒙古赤峰市2022-2023高二下期末市级联考试题） Creativity is all about finding new ways of solving problems.
