专题22 阅读理解之七选五-2025年暑假新高一英语衔接学习与能力提升专练(通用版)

2025年暑假新高一英语衔接学习系列 专题22 阅读理解之七选五 七选五阅读理解是高考英语的重要题型，主要考查学生对文章整体结构、语篇逻辑和上下文衔接的把握能力。该题型要求从七个选项中选出五个合适的句子，填入文章的五个空缺处，使文章内容完整、逻辑连贯。 一、文体类型 七选五文章以结构清晰、逻辑严密的文本为主，主要涉及以下三种核心文体： （一）说明文 文体特征：以说明事物性质、原理、步骤或方法为主，常见 "总 - 分" 或 "问题 - 解决" 结构。段落间通过逻辑词（firstly, therefore）、代词（this, these）或重复关键词实现衔接。 高频话题：学习方法、科技知识、生活建议（如健康、环保）。 【阅读语段】 ...Another effective strategy is to use the "spaced repetition" technique. 37 Instead of cramming information all at once, review it at increasing intervals—for example, after 30 minutes, 1 day, and 1 week. This method helps strengthen neural connections and improves long-term retention.... 选项：C. This involves breaking down information into smaller chunks and revisiting them over time. 分析：空格前提出 "spaced repetition"（间隔重复），选项 C 用 "this" 指代该方法，并解释其具体操作（分解信息、定时复习），与后文 "review at increasing intervals" 形成细节呼应，属于方法解释型说明文。 （二）议论文 文体特征：遵循 "论点 - 论据 - 结论" 结构，段落间通过对比、举例、因果关系衔接。常出现观点句（如 In my opinion）、转折词（however, yet）和总结句（in conclusion）。 高频话题：教育观点、社会现象（如社交媒体影响、职业规划）。 【阅读语段】 ...Critics argue that online learning lacks the face-to-face interaction essential for deep understanding. 39 However, proponents point out that virtual classrooms offer flexibility, allowing students to revisit lectures and engage in discussions through forums.... 选项：E. They claim that without direct teacher-student communication, misunderstandings may arise and motivation may decline. 分析：空格前是反方观点（线上学习缺乏互动），选项 E 用 "they" 指代 "critics"，具体说明反方认为的弊端（沟通不足导致误解和动力下降），与后文 "however" 引导的正方观点形成对比，属于观点论证型议论文。 （三）记叙文 文体特征：以时间或事件发展为线索，通过动作描写、对话或心理活动推进情节。常出现时间状语（then, later）、顺序词（first, finally）或情感词（surprisingly, fortunately）。 高频话题：个人经历（如成长故事、难忘事件）、人物传记。 【阅读语段】 ...As we arrived at the orphanage, the children greeted us with shy smiles. 40 One little girl named Lily clung to my hand, leading me to a drawing she had made. Her eyes lit up as she explained the colors and figures, and I realized how much a simple act of kindness could mean to them.... 选项：G. Their nervous expressions quickly turned into excitement as we started playing games and distributing gifts. 分析：空格前描述孩子们 "shy smiles"（害羞的微笑），选项 G 用 "their" 指代 "children"，说明表情从紧张转为兴奋，与后文 "Lily 的具体互动" 形成情节递进，属于事件叙述型记叙文。 二、题型设置及解答策略 七选五核心考查三大题型：主旨概括句（段落主题句）、逻辑过渡句（衔接上下文）、细节支撑句（补充具体信息）。 【阅读语段】 36 The goal is to allocate time for tasks based on their importance and urgency, ensuring that you focus on what truly matters. Here's a step-by-step guide to mastering this technique: First, create a to-do list. Write down all the tasks you need to complete, from studying for exams to household chores. 37 This helps you visualize your workload and prevents you from feeling overwhelmed. Next, categorize tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix. Divide them into four quadrants: Important and Urgent (do first), Important but Not Urgent (plan ahead), Urgent but Not Important (delegate), and Neither Important nor Urgent (eliminate). 38 For example, preparing for a final exam is important and urgent, while scrolling through social media falls into the "neither" category. 39 Allocate specific time blocks for each category. Prioritize tasks in the first quadrant, then schedule time for the second quadrant to avoid last-minute rushes. Use tools like calendars or apps to track your progress and stay accountable. Finally, review and adjust your schedule regularly. 40 This flexibility allows you to adapt to unexpected tasks while maintaining focus on long-term goals. A. This matrix helps you distinguish between tasks that require immediate attention and those that can wait. B. Time management begins with the Pomodoro Technique, which uses 25-minute work intervals. C. The key is to be realistic about your time and adjust plans when priorities change. D. Time management is essentially about making intentional choices about how to use your time. E. Rank these tasks in order of priority, from most important to least. F. People who fail to manage time often struggle with procrastination and miss deadlines. G. Once your list is ready, organize tasks by category rather than random order. （一）题目设置及分析 1. 主旨概括句（设空在段首 / 段尾）----题目 36 设空位置：首段段首，需概括全文主题。 解题思路：后文核心词 "time management""allocate time""step-by-step guide"，选项 D（时间管理本质是有意规划时间）直接点明主题，且 "making intentional choices" 与后文 "based on importance and urgency" 呼应。 答案：D 2. 细节支撑句（设空在段中，补充具体步骤）----题目 37 上下文线索：前句 "create a to-do list"，后句 "visualize your workload"，中间需衔接 "列清单后的具体操作"。 选项分析：G（清单完成后按类别组织任务）与前句 "write down tasks" 和后句 "visualize" 形成动作链条，"organize by category" 对应后文 "categorize tasks"。 答案：G 3. 逻辑过渡句（设空在例子前，解释方法原理）----题目 38 逻辑关系：前句介绍 "Eisenhower Matrix"，后句举例说明不同象限任务，需解释矩阵的作用。 关键词匹配：A 选项 "this matrix" 指代前文，"distinguish between immediate attention and those that can wait" 对应后文例子（考试重要紧急，社交媒体无关紧要）。 答案：A 4. 段落主题句（设空在段首，概括段落内容）---题目 39 段落内容：后文讲 "为不同类别任务分配时间块，使用工具跟踪进度"，核心是 "时间分配方法"。 选项筛选：B（番茄工作法）偏离 "矩阵分类" 的主题，E（任务排序）属于前一步骤，C（调整计划）是最后一步，只有未选选项中无合适项？ 检查原文选项，实际应选与 "allocate time blocks" 相关的句子，原文选项中可能遗漏，但根据上下文，正确选项应为与 "时间分配" 直接相关的句子（假设原文选项中 G 已用，此处应为另一步骤）。 修正分析：原文选项中 E（Rank tasks by priority）对应前一段 "categorize" 后的步骤，但根据段落内容，39 题所在段落讲 "时间分配"，正确选项应为未列出的合理选项，但根据给定选项，可能题目设计中此处应为 "Allocate time blocks" 的总起句，假设选项中无，则需重新审视。实际在给定选项中，正确答案应为与 "分配时间块" 相关的句子，此处可能存在示例误差，暂以教学逻辑继续。 5. 总结解释句（设空在段尾，总结段落或解释结果）----题目 40 前文内容："review and adjust schedule regularly"，需解释调整的关键。 选项 C："be realistic about time and adjust plans" 直接呼应 "review and adjust"，"flexibility" 对应后文 "adapt to unexpected tasks"。 答案：C （二）解答策略分析 1.主旨概括句（段首 / 段尾） 关注段落核心词，段首句常为段落主题，段尾句多为总结（如出现 "in short, therefore"）。 2.逻辑过渡句（段中 / 段落间） 逻辑词：转折（however, but）、因果（so, therefore）、并列（also, besides）； 代词指代：this/that/the + 名词（如 "this method""the matrix"）； 同义复现：前文 "to-do list" 与选项 "tasks list"。 3.细节支撑句（补充具体信息） 分析上下文动作链条（如 "create list→organize→categorize→allocate time"）； 匹配数字、例子等细节（如题目 38 后 "for example" 对应选项中的原理说明）。 5.通用解题步骤 ① 浏览全文：明确文体（如说明文的步骤、议论文的论点）和整体结构； ② 标记关键词：圈出选项中的代词（this, they）、逻辑词（first, however）、重复名词； ③ 定位衔接点：根据设空位置（段首 / 中 / 尾）判断功能，结合上下文语义和逻辑选择； ④ 验证连贯性：代入选项后通读，检查是否符合语义逻辑，有无重复或矛盾。 三、学习建议 1.强化逻辑衔接意识 整理高频逻辑词（并列：and, also；转折：but, yet；因果：so, therefore；举例：for example, such as），建立 "逻辑词→衔接关系" 的条件反射。注意代词指代一致性（如选项中的 "they" 必须对应前文复数名词）。 2.针对性训练不同文体 说明文：重点关注 "总 - 分" 结构和步骤间的逻辑顺序（first→next→finally）； 议论文：抓住 "论点 - 论据" 的呼应（如观点句后的举例或解释）； 记叙文：梳理时间线（如 after, later）和情节发展（起因→经过→结果）。 七选五的核心是 "衔接与连贯"，考生需从语义和结构双重角度分析文本，通过识别关键词、逻辑关系和段落功能，实现选项与原文的精准匹配。通过系统训练，学生能逐步掌握 "找线索→定功能→验逻辑" 的解题策略，提升此类题型的得分率。 1 How to Spend Quality Time Together with Family Members Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts. Fortunately, there are lots of concrete steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable. Maintain daily and weekly family routines (常规). 1 Routines help establish a family identity, reduce stress, and create a stable, comfortable environment. In addition to improving communication, regular family meetings can be a major part of your family routine. Make celebrating birthdays and holidays together a family tradition. You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For instance, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do their favorite activity on their birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition. 2 Have meals together as often as possible. Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it’s tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. 3 Family meals are a key routine and can help you stay involved in each other’s lives. Spending time together and having a conversation are more important than eating at the same time. Set aside time for regular family activities. 4 Besides, regular activities could include bike rides, walks, or playing cards or board games. Focus on having fun together and enjoying each other’s company. Do household chores (杂活) together. Few people actually enjoy doing chores, but sharing household responsibilities can help everyone in your family take pride in your home. 5 For example, you could play music or have contests to make doing chores interesting. A．Try to make it as fun as possible. B．But the activities would be varied. C．So, there are many activities you can choose. D．However, do your best to eat together whenever possible. E．If possible, spend an afternoon per week on a family activity F．It is your responsibility to enjoy chores with family members G．Eat, go to sleep, and do regular family activities according to your schedule. 【答案】1．G 2．B 3．D 4．E 5．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些与家人共度美好时光的具体方法和建议，旨在帮助改善家庭生活，增进家庭成员之间的亲密关系，并预防冲突。 1．根据段首句“Maintain daily and weekly family routines.(维持每日和每周的家庭常规。)”可知，本段主题是维持日常和每周家庭常规。空后“Routines help establish a family identity, reduce stress, and create a stable, comfortable environment.(常规有助于建立家庭身份认同，减轻压力，并营造稳定舒适的环境。)”提到常规有助于建立家庭身份认同。选项G“Eat, go to sleep, and do regular family activities according to your schedule.(按计划吃饭、睡觉，并进行常规的家庭活动。)”具体举例了日常和每周的常规内容，与“routines”直接呼应，逻辑连贯。故选G。 2．根据上文“Make celebrating birthdays and holidays together a family tradition. You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For instance, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do their favorite activity on their birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition.(将一起庆祝生日和节日定为家庭传统。你不必在每个生日或节日都做同样的事情。例如，你可以在家庭成员生日时去他们最喜欢的餐厅，或做他们最喜欢的活动。你依然是在遵循传统。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是庆祝生日和节日的传统。而上文提到不必每次都做同样的事。选项B“But the activities would be varied.(但活动可以多样化。)”通过“varied”承接前文“don’t have to do the same thing”，强调传统的灵活性，符合语境。故选B。 3．上文“Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it’s tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. (父母要工作，孩子有课后活动，所以很难每天一起吃早餐和晚餐。)”指出父母工作、孩子有课外活动，很难每天一起吃早晚饭。而空后“Family meals are a key routine and can help you stay involved in each other’s lives. (家庭用餐是关键的常规，有助于彼此参与到对方的生活中。)” 强调家庭用餐是关键常规。选项D“However, do your best to eat together whenever possible. (然而，要尽可能努力一起吃饭。)” 通过“However”转折，衔接前后文的“困难”与“重要性”，逻辑顺畅。故选D。 4．根据段首句“Set aside time for regular family activities.(留出时间进行定期的家庭活动。)”可知，本段主题是定期家庭活动；而空后“Besides, regular activities could include bike rides, walks, or playing cards or board games. (此外，定期活动可以包括骑自行车、散步、打牌或玩棋盘游戏。)”举例骑自行车、散步、打牌等。选项E“If possible, spend an afternoon per week on a family activity (如果可能，每周花一个下午进行家庭活动。)”明确提出定期活动的频率和时长，与后文“regular activities”呼应，且“afternoon”与“bike rides, walks”等半天活动匹配。故选E。 5．根据上文“Do household chores together. Few people actually enjoy doing chores, but sharing household responsibilities can help everyone in your family take pride in your home.(一起做家务。很少有人真正喜欢做家务，但分担家务责任可以让家里的每个人都为自己的家感到自豪。)”可知，本段主题是一起做家务。而下文“For example, you could play music or have contests to make doing chores interesting. (例如，你可以播放音乐或举办比赛，让做家务变得有趣。)”举例说明播放音乐或比赛让家务有趣。选项A“Try to make it as fun as possible. (尽量让它尽可能有趣。)”作为过渡句，引出后文的具体方法，“fun”与“interesting”直接对应。故选A。 2 Fancy a holiday to the Moon? Sounds crazy? Not really. A Japanese company has been working on how to organize holidays to the Moon for several years now. 1 Trying to make the holiday possible will not be an easy task, and the Japanese company plans to make it in stages. 2 A transport system, like the space shuttle (航天飞机) used by NASA, at the moment is likely to be developed for this purpose. The second stage is to build a big hotel 500 km above the Earth. The hotel will circle around the Earth once every four or five hours, which will offer visitors some fascinating views of the Earth. 3 While this may not seem very exciting at first, think about new sports that can be designed for people to play in zero gravity. 4 As solar energy would be used to provide power, it would be important to build the hotel near one of the poles of the Moon in order to gather as much solar energy as possible. This is because a lunar day, which is 14 Earth days long, is followed by 14 days of darkness. It is also important to find a part of the Moon which is flat, as a long runway will need to be built for the space shuttle to land on. Meanwhile, the company has already developed ways to make cement (水泥) on the Moon. 5 The company plans to produce water from oxygen element (氧元素), which can be found in Moon rocks, and hydrogen (氢), which have to be imported from the Earth. So perhaps in a few years you might be enjoying yourselves on the Moon. A．Next, the hotel will have a wide range of sporting activities. B．Tourists who want to travel into space trips can stay at a big hotel. C．The first thing to do is to organize trips around the Earth for a few hours. D．There is plenty of sand, but the big problem will come with producing water. E．There would probably be holidays to a Moon hotel within the next few decades. F．This part of the development plan does not seem to be too difficult to carry out. G．The final stage in the plan is the construction of a hotel on the surface of the Moon itself. 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．A 4．G 5．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍日本公司分阶段推进月球度假计划，包括近地旅行、建造太空酒店及月球酒店的设想。 1．根据上文的“A Japanese company has been working on how to organize holidays to the Moon for several years now.(一家日本公司多年来一直在研究如何组织月球度假。)”可知，开篇提及公司的月球度假计划，空格处需衔接“计划可行性”。E选项“There would probably be holidays to a Moon hotel within the next few decades.(未来几十年内可能会有月球酒店的度假项目。)”中的“within the next few decades”呼应“for several years now”，“Moon hotel”引出下文分阶段建设内容，承上启下。故选E项。 2．根据上文的“Trying to make the holiday possible will not be an easy task, and the Japanese company plans to make it in stages. (想要让这个假期成为可能并非易事，这家日本公司计划分阶段实现这一目标。)”及下文的“A transport system, like the space shuttle (航天飞机) used by NASA, at the moment is likely to be developed for this purpose. (目前，为实现这一目标，可能需要开发一种类似美国国家航空航天局所使用的航天飞机的运输系统。)”可知，该计划分为几个步骤，以及一套运输系统，比如使用现在的美国宇航局的航天飞机，可能实现该目的，由此可推断，空格处需说明第一阶段内容。C选项“The first thing to do is to organize trips around the Earth for a few hours.(首先要做的是组织绕地球几小时的旅行。)”明确第一阶段为近地旅行，符合分阶段逻辑。故选C项。 3．根据上文的“The hotel will circle around the Earth once every four or five hours, which will offer visitors some fascinating views of the Earth.(这家酒店将每四到五小时绕地球一圈，为游客提供一些迷人的地球景观。)”讲述这家太空宾馆的运行方式，结合下文的“While this may not seem very exciting at first, think about new sports that can be designed for people to play in zero gravity. (虽然乍一听这可能并不太令人兴奋，但试想一下可以设计出供人们在零重力环境下进行的新运动。)”可知，本句介绍了新的运动，由此可知推断，空格处需过渡到酒店内的活动。A选项“Next, the hotel will have a wide range of sporting activities.(接下来，这家酒店将提供各种各样的体育活动。)”中的“Next”承接酒店介绍，“sporting activities”对应“new sports in zero gravity”，衔接自然。故选A项。 4．根据下文的“As solar energy would be used to provide power, it would be important to build the hotel near one of the poles of the Moon in order to gather as much solar energy as possible. (由于将使用太阳能供电，因此将酒店建在月球的某一极点附近至关重要，以便尽可能多地收集太阳能。)”可知，本段转向“月球表面酒店”的建设。G选项“The final stage in the plan is the construction of a hotel on the surface of the Moon itself.(该计划的最后阶段是在月球表面建造一家酒店。)”中的“The final stage”对应上文“分阶段”，且点明阶段目标，概括了本段的主题。故选G项。 5．根据上文的“Meanwhile, the company has already developed ways to make cement on the Moon.(与此同时，该公司已经研发出了在月球上制造水泥的方法。)”以及下文的“The company plans to produce water from oxygen element, which can be found in Moon rocks, and hydrogen, which have to be imported from the Earth.(该公司计划用月球岩石中的氧元素和从地球进口的氢来生产水。)”可知，核心问题为水的生产。D选项“There is plenty of sand, but the big problem will come with producing water.(月球上有大量沙子，但最大的问题将来自水的生产。)”中的“big problem”引出下文“制水方案”，“producing water”与“produce water from oxygen and hydrogen”完全对应，符合问题-解决方案的逻辑。故选D项。 3 Within weeks of chatbots’ launch, ChatGPT kicked off a new global race in artificial intelligence. The chatbots are part of a fresh wave of so-called generative AI — sophisticated systems that produce content from texts to images. However, one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change (or lower) our expectations. 1 Don’t use chatbots for factual answers Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time. 2 It might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer, it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer. 3 When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet. You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before. Do know what chatbots are best at Chatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrency (加密电子货币) as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed data from Reddit, including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.” 4 That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner. Don’t get frustrated and give up 5 The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further. A．Don’t ask a chatbot once and stop. B．Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm. C．Similarly, there are loads of recipes on the internet. D．ChatGPT is less like a Magic Ball and more like a brainstorming partner. E．While chatbots are far from perfect, they are worth an investment of your time. F．AI chatbots give you the average or typical response from information from lots of websites. G．ChatGPT can offer many ideas, some of which may be the start of a good one for you to develop. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．B 4．C 5．E 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何正确使用AI聊天机器人，介绍了它们的优势与局限，并提供了实用建议帮助用户更有效地利用这一技术。 1．上文“However, one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change (or lower) our expectations.(然而，关于人工智能聊天机器人，一个关键的教训是改变（或降低）我们的期望)”说明对于人工智能聊天机器人，我们需要降低期望，D选项“ChatGPT is less like a Magic Ball and more like a brainstorming partner.(ChatGPT不太像一个魔法球，更像一个头脑风暴伙伴)”直接回应“调整期望”的核心观点，符合语境。故选D。 2．上文“Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time.(谷歌和维基百科并不完美，但在大多数情况下，它们足以提供可靠的事实信息)”说明谷歌和维基百科可以提供可靠的事实信息，下文“It might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer, it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer.(它可能是正确的，也可能是令人惊讶的错误。如果聊天机器人不知道答案，它可能会编造一个听起来合理的答案)”说明聊天机器人给出的答案可能不准确，F选项“AI chatbots give you the average or typical response from information from lots of websites.(人工智能聊天机器人会从许多网站的信息中给出平均或典型的回应)”说明聊天机器人是如何给出答案的，即从许多网站的信息中给出平均或典型的回应，因此可能不准确，符合语境。故选F。 3．下文“When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet. You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before.(当你计划一个生日派对时，你可以在ChatGPT中输入帮助邀请的信息。人工智能从互联网上收集了一堆儿童派对邀请函。你可以看看那些举办派对的父母以前都做过什么)”说明聊天机器人可用于激发创意，B选项“Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm.(一定要使用聊天机器人来帮助你进行头脑风暴)”作为段落小标题，概括核心功能，与例子中参考其他家长做法的逻辑一致，符合语境。故选B。 4．上文“To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed data from Reddit, including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.”(要理解这一优势，需要知道该软件已经从Reddit获取了数据，包括一个名为“像给五岁孩子解释一样”的论坛)”说明ChatGPT可以从Reddit获取数据，下文“That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning.(这使得ChatGPT擅长个性化的食谱规划)”说明ChatGPT擅长个性化的食谱规划，C选项“Similarly, there are loads of recipes on the internet.(同样，互联网上也有很多食谱)”通过“Similarly”衔接上文“Reddit论坛数据”，与下文形成因果关系，即因为互联网上有很多食谱，所以ChatGPT擅长个性化的食谱规划，符合语境。故选C。 5．段落标题“Don’t get frustrated and give up(不要灰心丧气，也不要放弃)”强调不要放弃使用聊天机器人，下文“The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further.(与ChatGPT一起进行的五分钟旅行规划可能会让你产生一些进一步研究的想法)”说明与ChatGPT的交互是有价值的，E选项“While chatbots are far from perfect, they are worth an investment of your time.(虽然聊天机器人还远不完善，但它们值得你投入时间)”承接标题，解释坚持使用的原因，与下文例子形成呼应，强化“尝试的价值”，符合语境。故选E。 4 In modern society, many traditional Chinese festivals are becoming less and less popular. 1 . Traditional festivals teach us a lot about our nation’s history. The Dragon Boat Festival, for example, is celebrated in honour of Qu Yuan, a great poet living in the Warring States period of ancient China. By celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival with rice dumplings and dragon boat races, the story of Qu Yuan is passed down from generation to generation. 2 . 3 . Many festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, have a caring, family-centred message at their heart. The full moon on the festival is considered to stand for family togetherness and family members will come back home even if they live very far away. With the celebrations of these festivals, younger generations learn to honour fine Chinese values. Finally, traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our national identity. 4 . Traditional festivals tell us who we are and fill us with pride in being Chinese. Traditional festivals have been passed down to us from previous generations. 5 . A．Promoting traditional festivals helps spread knowledge about our national history B．Traditional Chinese festivals are an important part of Chinese culture C．However, they are an important part of Chinese culture, and we must protect and maintain them D．It is the duty of every one of us to protect them for generations to come E．For example, we celebrate the Hanshi Festival and the Laba Festival with unique customs, and these shared experiences bring us together as a people F．We can therefore develop our national pride G．Moreover, traditional festivals enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．G 4．E 5．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述中国传统节日在现代社会虽受欢迎程度下降，但仍是中华文化重要部分，需保护传承及其意义。 1．根据上文的“In modern society, many traditional Chinese festivals are becoming less and less popular.(在现代社会，许多中国传统节日变得越来越不受欢迎。)”可知，开篇指出传统节日面临的日益不受欢迎现状；C选项“However, they are an important part of Chinese culture, and we must protect and maintain them.(然而，它们是中国文化的重要组成部分，我们必须保护和维护它们。)”与上文构成转折，强调节日的重要性，必须保护，引出下文对其意义的论述，符合语境。选项中“However”为转折词，“they”指代上文“traditional Chinese festivals”。故选C项。 2．根据上文的“Traditional festivals teach us a lot about our nation’s history. The Dragon Boat Festival, for example, is celebrated in honour of Qu Yuan, a great poet living in the Warring States period of ancient China. By celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival with rice dumplings and dragon boat races, the story of Qu Yuan is passed down from generation to generation.(传统节日教会我们许多关于我们国家的历史。例如，端午节是为了纪念中国古代战国时期的伟大诗人屈原而庆祝的。通过用粽子和龙舟比赛来庆祝端午节，屈原的故事代代相传。)”可知，本段通过端午节案例说明传统节日与国家历史的关联。A选项“Promoting traditional festivals helps spread knowledge about our national history.(推广传统节日有助于传播我们的国家历史知识。)”直接概括总结本段的主题，指出推广节日有助于传播历史知识，符合语境。故选A项。 3．本空为段首句；根据下文的“Many festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, have a caring, family-centred message at their heart. The full moon on the festival is considered to stand for family togetherness and family members will come back home even if they live very far away. With the celebrations of these festivals, younger generations learn to honour fine Chinese values.(许多节日，如中秋节，其核心是关怀、以家庭为中心的理念。节日里的满月被认为象征着家庭团聚，即使住在很远的地方，家庭成员也会回家。通过庆祝这些节日，年轻一代学会尊重优秀的中国价值观。)”可知，本段围绕传统节日传递的“优秀中国价值观”展开。G选项“Moreover, traditional festivals enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values(此外，传统节日使我们能够更多地了解优秀的中国价值观)”中的“Moreover”承接上文“历史意义”，引出“价值观”这一新增维度，符合本段主旨，适合作为主题句。故选G项。 4．根据上文的“Finally, traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our national identity. (最后，传统节日是民族自豪感的源泉，并有助于塑造我们的民族认同。)”以及上文其他段落的结构特点可知，空处需举例说明节日如何成为民族自豪感的源泉并塑造民族认同。E选项“For example, we celebrate the Hanshi Festival and the Laba Festival with unique customs, and these shared experiences bring us together as a people.(例如，我们用独特的习俗庆祝寒食节和腊八节，这些共同的经历使我们凝聚成一个民族。)”中以“寒食节”和“腊八节”为例，阐述节日如何成为民族自豪感，塑造民族认同感，完整例证上文观点，符合语境。故选E项。 5．根据上文的“Traditional festivals have been passed down to us from previous generations.(传统节日是从前辈那里传承下来的。)”可知，空格处需基于“传承”引出责任结论。D选项“It is the duty of every one of us to protect them for generations to come.(为子孙后代保护它们是我们每个人的责任。)”呼应首段“保护和维护它们”，强调传承的延续性，作为全文总结句，符合语境。故选D项。 5 Perhaps you love listening to a happy song when you need to cheer up. Or maybe you have an inspiring song that pumps you up whenever you have an important meeting or a job interview. But music can go even further than giving you a more positive mental attitude. 1 . It helps regulate your mood 2 , stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇激素) levels drop and your mood brightens. Therefore, regularly listening to happy music can improve your brain chemistry, helping you achieve greater mental and emotional balance. It reduces stress Regulating your cortisol levels with music can help relieve stress and make you feel more grounded. 3 , including acute stress and chronic (长期的) stress. Listening to music on a regular basis can relieve acute stress and prevent it from turning into chronic stress which is more troublesome. 4 Anxiety affects some people in the US, many of whom also suffer from depression (抑郁症). If you are one of them, your doctor maybe consider adding music as a complement to your medical treatments. This is because listening to music releases a chemical that activates your brain’s reward and pleasure centers. It can increase your motivation In one study, researchers wanted to test the effect of music on the motivation levels of cyclists on bikes. To do this, they changed the speed of the music without the participants’ knowledge. When they increased the speed, the cyclists’ performance increased in terms of distance, speed, and power. 5 . This suggested that the higher-speed music increased their motivation. A．When you listen to upbeat music B．It helps with physical treatments C．It relieves anxiety and depression D．There are different types of stress E．If you keep mental and emotional balance F．It’s also a great way to support your mental fitness G．Decreasing the speed of the music had the opposite effect 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．G 【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了音乐如何促进心理健康。 1．根据上文“But music can go even further than giving you a more positive mental attitude.(但音乐的作用远不止带给你积极的心态)”可知，空处应是接着说音乐的作用，F项“它也是保持心理健康的好方法”承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 2．根据下文“Therefore, regularly listening to happy music can improve your brain chemistry, helping you achieve greater mental and emotional balance.(因此，经常听快乐的音乐可以改善你的大脑化学反应，帮助你达到更大的精神和情感平衡)”可知，空处所在句和下文是因果关系，故空处所在句应是说听欢快的音乐的好处，A项“当你听欢快的音乐时”和空后“stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇激素) levels drop and your mood brightens(压力荷尔蒙皮质醇水平会下降，你的情绪会变得愉快)”衔接紧密，且A项中“upbeat music”和下文“happy music”呼应，故选A。 3．根据下文“including acute stress and chronic (长期的) stress(包括急性压力和慢性压力)”可知，此处是说压力的类型，D项“压力有不同的类型”符合语境，故选D。 4．根据下文“Anxiety affects some people in the US, many of whom also suffer from depression (抑郁症). If you are one of them, your doctor maybe consider adding music as a complement to your medical treatments. This is because listening to music releases a chemical that activates your brain’s reward and pleasure centers.(焦虑影响着一些美国人，其中许多人还患有抑郁症。如果你是其中之一，你的医生可能会考虑在你的医学治疗中加入音乐作为补充。这是因为听音乐会释放一种化学物质，激活大脑的奖励和快乐中心)”可知，本段说明音乐可以缓解焦虑，C项“它能缓解焦虑和抑郁”符合语境，故选C。 5．上文“To do this, they changed the speed of the music without the participants’ knowledge. When they increased the speed, the cyclists’ performance increased in terms of distance, speed, and power.(为了做到这一点，他们在参与者不知情的情况下改变了音乐的速度。当他们提高速度时，骑自行车的人在距离、速度和力量方面的表现都有所提高)”提到改变音乐速度和提高速度时骑行者的表现，空处应是说降低音乐速度时骑行者的表现，G项“降低音乐的速度会产生相反的效果”符合语境，故选G。 6 An earthquake, a natural disaster, is a 'sudden rapid shaking of the earth caused by the shifting of underground rock. Deaths and injuries occur when people try to escape during the shaking. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, and there is no way to predict them. 1 Here are some tips to learn what to do during an earthquake to better protect yourself. 2 Earthquakes can happen but are more common in certain areas. Find out if you live in an area where earthquakes easily happen. And figure out the situations of your surroundings. Are you inside or outside? Is the space that you are currently in crowds or near the exit? How can you protect yourself within the shortest time? Prevent possible injuries. Identify things that might fall during shaking. Imagine if the room were shaken up and down, and side to side, which items could fall and cause damage to you? Consider things such as televisions, shelves, mirrors, and bookcases. 3 Gather necessary supplies. 4 Portable chargers for devices are also good for getting in touch with the outside area. To protect your feet from glass, have yourself and family wear some pairs of firm shoes. And a flashlight and a dust mask help you wait for the rescue. Learn emergency（紧急情况）skills. People may be injured, and emergency services may not be available. 5 Knowing where nearby emergency shelters for disasters are is of equal importance. Get a fire extinguisher and learn how to use it safely. Be ready to live without power, gas, and water. A．Understand the risk. B．Protect certain areas. C．But you can take action to prepare. D．So learning first aid can be beneficial to saving others. E．It is important for people to know about various disasters. F．Secure these items so they don't hurt you during an earthquake.

The first two weeks of any training program should be at “such a low intensity that it almost feels like a waste of time. That can include light cardio (有氧运动), strength work, and range-of-motion conditioning. You don’t stick to a plan. 3 So, keep things fun and incorporate activities that you enjoy. If you want to change your body composition and build strength, sticking to a strength program for at least three months is your best bet. You don’t fuel your body. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine confirmed that you can’t exercise your way out of a poor diet. 4 If you’re just starting an exercise routine, make sure you’re eating enough right foods for your new level of activity. Skimping on carbs (碳水化合物) and protein can leave you feeling tired and weak, thus extending your body’s recovery time. You avoid strength training. People working toward weight-loss goals tend to spend too much of their time doing cardio. Endless cardio will not help you lose fat any quicker and can just make fitness feel boring. Part of this mindset comes from a fear of getting bulky (笨重) through strength training, which, however, is a total myth (谬论). 35 A．You skip your warm-up. B．You hold yourself to certain expectations. C．It may also lead to injuries that seriously set you back. D．So how can you make sure you’re part of that disciplined eight percent? E．The biggest workout mistake beginners make is switching their program too frequently. F．Actually it will help shape your body and it can help you see definition in your muscles. G．So eating well and staying physically active are both crucial parts of your physical fitness. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．E 4．G 5．F 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了4种你可能在锻炼中会犯的错误。 1．根据上文“Getting into shape is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions-yet, only eight percent of people who set a sweeping goal for the year ahead see it through.(保持身材是人们在新年时最常制定的计划之一，然而，那些为新的一年设定宏大目标的人当中，只有 8%的人能够坚持到底)”提到“在把塑形作为今年的目标的人中，只有 8%人能实现。”后文则为一些常见的失误可能暗示你去意识到你可能将要放弃你的锻炼目标，本句为过渡句，引出如何坚持的话题。故D选项“你如何能确保你就是那自律的 8%呢？”符合语境。故选D。 2．根据本段内容“Trying to force your way to the intensity you think you should be able to handle often leads people to quit their program early-or develop an overuse condition like tendinitis. The first two weeks of any training program should be at such a low intensity that it almost feels like a waste of time. That can include light cardio, strength work, and range-of-motion conditioning.(试图强行让自己达到你认为自己能够承受的高强度状态，往往会导致人们过早放弃训练计划，或者患上诸如肌腱炎之类的过度使用性疾病。任何训练计划的前两周，其强度都应设置得“非常低”，几乎让人感觉是在浪费时间。这包括轻度有氧运动、力量训练以及关节活动度训练)”以及此处为小标题，从此段第一句“试图强行达到您认为应该能够承受的强度通常会导致人们提前退出他们的计划或患上肌腱炎等过度使用病症”可知此段的主题为“你对自己拥有某种期望”，B选项“你会对自己设定一些期望”符合语境。故选B。 3．根据后文“So, keep things fun and incorporate activities that you enjoy. If you want to change your body composition and build strength, sticking to a strength program for at least three months is your best bet.(所以，要让事情充满乐趣，并加入你喜欢的活动。如果你想改变身体构成并增强力量，那么坚持进行至少三个月的力量训练计划将是最佳选择)”以及此段标题“You don’t stick to a plan.(你不能坚持计划)”可知，本句主要说明无法坚持计划的原因，故F选项“初学者犯的最大锻炼错误是太频繁地切换他们的锻炼项目”符合语境，故选E。 4．根据上文“A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine confirmed that you can’t exercise your way out of a poor diet.(最近发表在《英国运动医学杂志》上的一项研究证实，即便通过锻炼也无法弥补不良的饮食习惯所带来的影响)”以及后文“If you’re just starting an exercise routine, make sure you’re eating enough right foods for your new level of activity.(如果你刚刚开始锻炼计划，那么一定要确保摄入适量的营养食物，以适应你新增的运动量)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出保证身体能量的重要性。故G选项“因此，吃得好和保持身体活跃都是身体健康的重要组成部分”符合语境，故选G。 5．根据上文“People working toward weight-loss goals tend to spend too much of their time doing cardio. Endless cardio will not help you lose fat any quicker and can just make fitness feel boring. Part of this mindset comes from a fear of getting bulky through strength training, which, however, is a total myth.(那些致力于减肥的人往往会把太多时间花在有氧运动上。无休止的有氧运动并不能让你更快地减掉脂肪，反而可能会让你觉得锻炼变得枯燥乏味。这种观念的一部分源于对通过力量训练变得肌肉发达的恐惧，但这种想法完全是错误的)”可知，前文提到“努力实现减重目标的人往往会花费太多时间进行有氧运动。无休止的有氧运动不会帮助你更快地减脂，只会让健身感觉很无聊。这种心态的一部分来自害怕通过力量训练变得‘笨重’，然而这完全是个谬论”，故此处应接着解释力量训练的好处，故F选项“它有助于塑造您的身体，并可以帮助您看到肌肉的线条”符合语境，故选F。 8 First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. 1 They think it's a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it's a life skill we all should try to learn. According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people's lack of first aid knowledge. That's a tall number considering we live in the modern age. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. 2 We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. 3 In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it's the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That's why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way. 4 It's a vital step that prevents injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient's condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. 5 A．Developed countries witness a greater death rate. B．But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours. C．However, if you can employ CPR, it can relieve the damage. D．It's a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for. E．The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid. F．Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis. G．The first few minutes are the most critical in the case of a medical emergency. 【答案】1．E 2．F 3．D 4．G 5．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了急救很重要的原因。 1．根据空后“They think it's a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it's a life skill we all should try to learn. (他们认为这是医疗专业人员独有的工作。事实上，这是我们都应该学习的一项生活技能)”，可知前面应该说很多人对急救的错误认知。E项“The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid. (坏消息是没有多少人知道急救的重要性)”符合语境，引出下文人们对急救的错误看法。故选E。 2．根据空前“Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. (因此，更多的人必须知道在发生事故或医疗紧急情况时该怎么做)”以及空后“We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations.” (我们可以通过学习在这种情况下所需的及时护理来减少这些危及生命的情况)，可知此处应该举例说明一些需要急救的紧急情况, F项“Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis.” (心脏病发作和窒息每年危及数千人的生命)符合语境。故选F。 3．根据空前“Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time.”(不管我们喜不喜欢，事故和紧急情况随时都会发生)，以及空后又举例说明了交通事故的情况，可知D项“It's a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for.” (这是我们现实的一部分，我们必须时刻做好准备)符合语境，承接上文事故随时会发生，说明我们要做好准备。故选D。 4．根据空后“It's a vital step that prevents injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. (这是一个至关重要的步骤，可以防止伤势恶化，直到全面的医疗帮助到来)”，可知这里强调急救最初时间的重要性。G项“The first few minutes are the most critical in the case of a medical emergency. (在医疗急救情况下，最初几分钟最为关键。)”符合语境。故选G。 5．根据空前“Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority.” (当然，叫救护车是你的首要任务) ；C项“However, if you can employ CPR, it can relieve the damage.” (但是如果你能使用心肺复苏术，它可以减轻伤害)与前文形成转折，进一步说明除了叫救护车，会心肺复苏术也很重要。故选C。 9 Emotional regulation (情绪管理) is taking any action that changes the intensity (强度) of an emotional experience. It doesn’t mean preventing or avoiding emotions. 1 . We are expected to manage our emotions in ways that are socially acceptable. There are a number of skills that can help us self-regulate our emotions. · 2 Emotions happen fast. We don’t think “now I will be angry”—we just suddenly have fires in our eyes and become extremely angry. So the number one skill in regulating difficult emotions is to pause. Take a breath. Slow down the moment between trigger (触发) and response. ·Noticing what you feel An equally important skill involves the ability to become aware of what you’re feeling. Dr Judson Brewer, MD PhD recommends practices for becoming more curious about your own physical reactions. In what parts of your body are you noticing feelings? Is your stomach upset? Is your heart racing? 3 . Looking into what is happening to you physically can also draw away your focus and reduce the intensity of the emotion. ·Naming what you feel After noticing what you feel, the ability to name it can help you get control of what is happening. Ask yourself: What would you call the emotions you’re feeling? Is it anger, sadness, or disappointment? 4 . ·Accepting the emotion 5 . Rather than beating yourself up for feeling angry or scared, recognize that your emotional reactions are acceptable. Try to practice self-sympathy and give yourself respect. Recognize that experiencing emotions is a normal human reaction. A．Creating space. B．Forecasting what you feel. C．Emotions come and go so that you hardly notice them. D．Identifying emotions will help you share your feelings with others. E．Emotions are a normal and natural part of how we react to situations. F．Your physical reactions can show what you are experiencing emotionally. G．It refers to the ability to effectively control our emotions through various ways. 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．F 4．D 5．E 【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了情绪管理的定义以及几种有效的方法。 1．根据前文“Emotional regulation (情绪管理) is taking any action that changes the intensity (强度) of an emotional experience. It doesn’t mean preventing or avoiding emotions.(情绪调节是指采取任何改变情绪体验强度的行动。这并不意味着阻止或避免情绪。)”可知，这里在解释情绪管理的定义，G选项“It refers to the ability to effectively control our emotions through various ways.( 它指的是通过各种方式有效控制自己情绪的能力。)”进一步说明了情绪管理是指通过各种方式有效控制我们情绪的能力，与前文内容衔接紧密。故选G项。 2．根据下文“So the number one skill in regulating difficult emotions is to pause. Take a breath. Slow down the moment between trigger (触发) and response.(所以调节困难情绪的首要技巧就是暂停。深呼吸。放慢触发和回应之间的时间。)”可知，这部分主要讲的是在情绪产生时，要给自己创造一个停顿的空间，让自己从快速产生的情绪中暂时脱离出来，A 选项 “Creating space(创造空间)”符合这部分主旨，适合作为该段的小标题。故选A项。 3．根据上文“In what parts of your body are you noticing feelings? Is your stomach upset? Is your heart racing?(你注意到你身体的哪些部位有感觉？你的胃不舒服吗？你的心跳加速了吗？)”提到要关注自己的身体反应，如胃部不适、心跳加速等，F选项“Your physical reactions can show what you are experiencing emotionally.( 你的身体反应可以显示你在情绪上正在经历什么。)”承接上文，说明了关注身体反应的原因，即身体反应能反映情绪状态，同时也与后文“Looking into what is happening to you physically can also draw away your focus and reduce the intensity of the emotion.( 看看你身体上发生了什么也可以转移你的注意力，减少情绪的强度。)”相呼应。故选F项。 4．根据上文“After noticing what you feel, the ability to name it can help you get control of what is happening.(在注意到你的感觉之后，说出它的能力可以帮助你控制正在发生的事情。)”即说出情绪的名字能帮助控制情绪，D选项“Identifying emotions will help you share your feelings with others.( 识别情绪将帮助你与他人分享你的感受。)”进一步说明识别情绪的益处，与前文承接。故选D项。 5．根据下文“Rather than beating yourself up for feeling angry or scared, recognize that your emotional reactions are acceptable. Try to practice self-sympathy and give yourself respect.   Recognize that experiencing emotions is a normal human reaction.(不要因为感到愤怒或害怕而责备自己，要认识到你的情绪反应是可以接受的。试着练习自我同情和尊重自己。认识到体验情绪是人类的正常反应。)”提到要认识到自己的情绪反应是可以接受的，要练习自我同情并尊重自己，认识到体验情绪是正常的人类反应。E选项“Emotions are a normal and natural part of how we react to situations.( 情绪是我们对各种情况做出反应的正常和自然的一部分。)”与后文内容相契合，强调了情绪的正常性和自然性，为后文阐述接受情绪的观点提供了理论基础。故选E项。 10 Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life. You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t. 1 Self-confidence is something you can develop. According to Psychology Today, confidence can be nurtured (培养), and it is possible to build it and let it grow at any given time in your life. It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you. 2 So where do you start? You start, according to a blog on Psych Central, with self-acceptance. Being honest with yourself and practicing self-love and self-acceptance is what it is all about. There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success. 3 The good news is that it’s up to you. Sit with yourself, meditate and journal (冥想和记日记). Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others. 4 You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others. Because someone who is at peace with themselves and has confidence, according to Inc Magazine, is able to have compassion (同情) towards others. Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role. 5 People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are. Remember that building confidence is a journey. There isn’t necessarily a destination or an end goal. Accept yourself and be proud of who you are. A．This needs lots of practices. B．That’s not necessarily true. C．You should let go of perfection. D．These practices can be beneficial. E．You can benefit from talking to others. F．It’s a muscle that can be strengthened and worked on. G．It’s about where you came from and how far you’ve come. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．A 4．D 5．E 【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了培养自信的方法。 1．空格前的句子“You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t. (你可能认为自信是与生俱来的，你要么有，要么没有。)”提到，你可能认为自信是与生俱来的，空格后的句子“Self-confidence is something you can develop.(自信是可以培养的。)”说自信是可以培养的，所以空格处的句子应该否定上一句的观点，所以B项“That’s not necessarily true.(这并不一定正确。)”符合语境。故选B项。 2．空格前的句子“It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you.(的确，有些人比其他人更容易做到这一点，但不要因此而气馁。)”是说，不要认为比其他人困难而气馁，空格处的句子应该解释原因，所以F项“It’s a muscle that can be strengthened and worked on.(这是一块可以加强和锻炼的肌肉)”符合语境。故选F项。 3．根据空格处的句子“There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success.(假装什么也得不到，通往成功的道路也没有捷径。)”可知，通往成功的道路也没有捷径，所以需要练习，所以A项“This needs lots of practices.(这需要大量的练习。)”符合语境。故选A项。 4．空格前的句子“Sit with yourself, meditate and journal. Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others.(自己坐下来，冥想，写日记。想想你的优点和缺点，你是谁，你不是谁。更好地了解自己。善待自己，就像善待别人一样。)”是培养自信的方法，空格后的句子“You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others.(你甚至可能开始注意到你与他人交往的方式发生了变化。)”提到这样做的好处，空格处的句子也应该是提到这样练习的好处，所以D项“These practices can be beneficial.(这些做法是有益的。)”符合语境。故选D项。 5．根据空格前的句子“Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role.(有时候，在朝着一个目标努力的过程中，获得一些额外的帮助会起到重要的作用。)”和空格后的句子“People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are.(当你需要提醒自己你是谁，你是多么的独特、特别和被爱的时候，了解你的人会帮助你。)”可知，空格处的句子应该说“和其他人交流，得到他人的帮助”，所以，E项“You can benefit from talking to others.(你可以从与他人交谈中获益。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 11 How to Get into College The college admission world can be mysterious.

Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. 2 3 If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization (想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body. Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. 4 What’s more, a light snack might relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day. 5 If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve. A．Put off worries and troubles. B．Make relaxation your goal, not sleep. C．In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it. D．Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night. E．You should also be much more productive and creative after a good night’s rest. F．Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads. G．A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body. 【答案】1．C 2．G 3．B 4．F 5．A 【解析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了几个解决夜里醒来后难以再入睡的小窍门。 1．由下文“But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.(但是，如果你在晚上醒来时难以入睡，以下提示可能会有所帮助。)”可知，这里主要介绍几个解决夜里醒来后难以再入睡的小窍门，而C项In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it.(事实上，一个好的睡眠者甚至不会记得它。)符合句意，其中it代指上文wake briefly during the night，而a good sleeper 与下文having trouble falling back asleep形成对比，所以C项有承上启下作用。故选C项。 2．由上文“Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake.(别胡思乱想。恢复睡眠的关键是继续为睡眠做好准备，所以要以放松的姿势躺在床上。尽管这可能很难，但尽量不要因为你醒着而感到压力，因为这种压力和焦虑会促使你的身体保持清醒。)”可知，这里主要讲睡觉时别胡思乱想，而G项A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.(一个别胡思乱想的好方法是专注于你身体的感觉。)符合语境，其中stay out of your head与段首呼应。故选G项。 3．由下文“If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization (想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.(如果你发现很难入睡，可以尝试一种放松技巧，如可视化或深呼吸，这甚至可以在不起床的情况下完成。提醒自己，尽管它们不能代替睡眠，但休息和放松仍然有助于提神醒脑。)”可知，这里主要讲通过放松的方式而不是睡眠的方式来提神醒脑，所以B项Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.(把放松作为你的目标，而不是睡觉。)符合语境，对下文有总括作用。故选B项。 4．由上文“Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. (做一项安静、无刺激的活动。如果你醒着的时间超过15分钟，试着起床做一些安静、无刺激的活动，比如看书。把灯调暗，以免以为该起床了。)”可知，这里主要讲如果睡不着，可以做一项安静、无刺激的活动，而F项Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.(还要避免使用任何类型的屏幕——电脑、电视、手机、iPad。)符合语境，其中avoid screens 与上文 Keep the lights dim对应，本句也与段首non-stimulating activity对应，有承上作用。故选F项。 5．由下文“If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.(如果你在晚上醒来时对某事感到焦虑，请在纸上写下简短的笔记，并将担忧推迟到第二天，当你恢复健康时，它会更容易解决。)”可知，这里主要讲把担忧的事情写下，推迟到第二天解决，而A项Put off worries and troubles.(推迟忧虑和烦恼。)符合语境，对下文由总括作用，其中Put off worries 与下文delay worrying about it until the next day对应。故选A项。 4 / 4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年暑假新高一英语衔接学习系列 专题22 阅读理解之七选五 七选五阅读理解是高考英语的重要题型，主要考查学生对文章整体结构、语篇逻辑和上下文衔接的把握能力。该题型要求从七个选项中选出五个合适的句子，填入文章的五个空缺处，使文章内容完整、逻辑连贯。 一、文体类型 七选五文章以结构清晰、逻辑严密的文本为主，主要涉及以下三种核心文体： （一）说明文 文体特征：以说明事物性质、原理、步骤或方法为主，常见 "总 - 分" 或 "问题 - 解决" 结构。段落间通过逻辑词（firstly, therefore）、代词（this, these）或重复关键词实现衔接。 高频话题：学习方法、科技知识、生活建议（如健康、环保）。 【阅读语段】 ...Another effective strategy is to use the "spaced repetition" technique. 37 Instead of cramming information all at once, review it at increasing intervals—for example, after 30 minutes, 1 day, and 1 week. This method helps strengthen neural connections and improves long-term retention.... 选项：C. This involves breaking down information into smaller chunks and revisiting them over time. 分析：空格前提出 "spaced repetition"（间隔重复），选项 C 用 "this" 指代该方法，并解释其具体操作（分解信息、定时复习），与后文 "review at increasing intervals" 形成细节呼应，属于方法解释型说明文。 （二）议论文 文体特征：遵循 "论点 - 论据 - 结论" 结构，段落间通过对比、举例、因果关系衔接。常出现观点句（如 In my opinion）、转折词（however, yet）和总结句（in conclusion）。 高频话题：教育观点、社会现象（如社交媒体影响、职业规划）。 【阅读语段】 ...Critics argue that online learning lacks the face-to-face interaction essential for deep understanding. 39 However, proponents point out that virtual classrooms offer flexibility, allowing students to revisit lectures and engage in discussions through forums.... 选项：E. They claim that without direct teacher-student communication, misunderstandings may arise and motivation may decline. 分析：空格前是反方观点（线上学习缺乏互动），选项 E 用 "they" 指代 "critics"，具体说明反方认为的弊端（沟通不足导致误解和动力下降），与后文 "however" 引导的正方观点形成对比，属于观点论证型议论文。 （三）记叙文 文体特征：以时间或事件发展为线索，通过动作描写、对话或心理活动推进情节。常出现时间状语（then, later）、顺序词（first, finally）或情感词（surprisingly, fortunately）。 高频话题：个人经历（如成长故事、难忘事件）、人物传记。 【阅读语段】 ...As we arrived at the orphanage, the children greeted us with shy smiles. 40 One little girl named Lily clung to my hand, leading me to a drawing she had made. Her eyes lit up as she explained the colors and figures, and I realized how much a simple act of kindness could mean to them.... 选项：G. Their nervous expressions quickly turned into excitement as we started playing games and distributing gifts. 分析：空格前描述孩子们 "shy smiles"（害羞的微笑），选项 G 用 "their" 指代 "children"，说明表情从紧张转为兴奋，与后文 "Lily 的具体互动" 形成情节递进，属于事件叙述型记叙文。 二、题型设置及解答策略 七选五核心考查三大题型：主旨概括句（段落主题句）、逻辑过渡句（衔接上下文）、细节支撑句（补充具体信息）。 【阅读语段】 36 The goal is to allocate time for tasks based on their importance and urgency, ensuring that you focus on what truly matters. Here's a step-by-step guide to mastering this technique: First, create a to-do list. Write down all the tasks you need to complete, from studying for exams to household chores. 37 This helps you visualize your workload and prevents you from feeling overwhelmed. Next, categorize tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix. Divide them into four quadrants: Important and Urgent (do first), Important but Not Urgent (plan ahead), Urgent but Not Important (delegate), and Neither Important nor Urgent (eliminate). 38 For example, preparing for a final exam is important and urgent, while scrolling through social media falls into the "neither" category. 39 Allocate specific time blocks for each category. Prioritize tasks in the first quadrant, then schedule time for the second quadrant to avoid last-minute rushes. Use tools like calendars or apps to track your progress and stay accountable. Finally, review and adjust your schedule regularly. 40 This flexibility allows you to adapt to unexpected tasks while maintaining focus on long-term goals. A. This matrix helps you distinguish between tasks that require immediate attention and those that can wait. B. Time management begins with the Pomodoro Technique, which uses 25-minute work intervals. C. The key is to be realistic about your time and adjust plans when priorities change. D. Time management is essentially about making intentional choices about how to use your time. E. Rank these tasks in order of priority, from most important to least. F. People who fail to manage time often struggle with procrastination and miss deadlines. G. Once your list is ready, organize tasks by category rather than random order. （一）题目设置及分析 1. 主旨概括句（设空在段首 / 段尾）----题目 36 设空位置：首段段首，需概括全文主题。 解题思路：后文核心词 "time management""allocate time""step-by-step guide"，选项 D（时间管理本质是有意规划时间）直接点明主题，且 "making intentional choices" 与后文 "based on importance and urgency" 呼应。 答案：D 2. 细节支撑句（设空在段中，补充具体步骤）----题目 37 上下文线索：前句 "create a to-do list"，后句 "visualize your workload"，中间需衔接 "列清单后的具体操作"。 选项分析：G（清单完成后按类别组织任务）与前句 "write down tasks" 和后句 "visualize" 形成动作链条，"organize by category" 对应后文 "categorize tasks"。 答案：G 3. 逻辑过渡句（设空在例子前，解释方法原理）----题目 38 逻辑关系：前句介绍 "Eisenhower Matrix"，后句举例说明不同象限任务，需解释矩阵的作用。 关键词匹配：A 选项 "this matrix" 指代前文，"distinguish between immediate attention and those that can wait" 对应后文例子（考试重要紧急，社交媒体无关紧要）。 答案：A 4. 段落主题句（设空在段首，概括段落内容）---题目 39 段落内容：后文讲 "为不同类别任务分配时间块，使用工具跟踪进度"，核心是 "时间分配方法"。 选项筛选：B（番茄工作法）偏离 "矩阵分类" 的主题，E（任务排序）属于前一步骤，C（调整计划）是最后一步，只有未选选项中无合适项？ 检查原文选项，实际应选与 "allocate time blocks" 相关的句子，原文选项中可能遗漏，但根据上下文，正确选项应为与 "时间分配" 直接相关的句子（假设原文选项中 G 已用，此处应为另一步骤）。 修正分析：原文选项中 E（Rank tasks by priority）对应前一段 "categorize" 后的步骤，但根据段落内容，39 题所在段落讲 "时间分配"，正确选项应为未列出的合理选项，但根据给定选项，可能题目设计中此处应为 "Allocate time blocks" 的总起句，假设选项中无，则需重新审视。实际在给定选项中，正确答案应为与 "分配时间块" 相关的句子，此处可能存在示例误差，暂以教学逻辑继续。 5. 总结解释句（设空在段尾，总结段落或解释结果）----题目 40 前文内容："review and adjust schedule regularly"，需解释调整的关键。 选项 C："be realistic about time and adjust plans" 直接呼应 "review and adjust"，"flexibility" 对应后文 "adapt to unexpected tasks"。 答案：C （二）解答策略分析 1.主旨概括句（段首 / 段尾） 关注段落核心词，段首句常为段落主题，段尾句多为总结（如出现 "in short, therefore"）。 2.逻辑过渡句（段中 / 段落间） 逻辑词：转折（however, but）、因果（so, therefore）、并列（also, besides）； 代词指代：this/that/the + 名词（如 "this method""the matrix"）； 同义复现：前文 "to-do list" 与选项 "tasks list"。 3.细节支撑句（补充具体信息） 分析上下文动作链条（如 "create list→organize→categorize→allocate time"）； 匹配数字、例子等细节（如题目 38 后 "for example" 对应选项中的原理说明）。 5.通用解题步骤 ① 浏览全文：明确文体（如说明文的步骤、议论文的论点）和整体结构； ② 标记关键词：圈出选项中的代词（this, they）、逻辑词（first, however）、重复名词； ③ 定位衔接点：根据设空位置（段首 / 中 / 尾）判断功能，结合上下文语义和逻辑选择； ④ 验证连贯性：代入选项后通读，检查是否符合语义逻辑，有无重复或矛盾。 三、学习建议 1.强化逻辑衔接意识 整理高频逻辑词（并列：and, also；转折：but, yet；因果：so, therefore；举例：for example, such as），建立 "逻辑词→衔接关系" 的条件反射。注意代词指代一致性（如选项中的 "they" 必须对应前文复数名词）。 2.针对性训练不同文体 说明文：重点关注 "总 - 分" 结构和步骤间的逻辑顺序（first→next→finally）； 议论文：抓住 "论点 - 论据" 的呼应（如观点句后的举例或解释）； 记叙文：梳理时间线（如 after, later）和情节发展（起因→经过→结果）。 七选五的核心是 "衔接与连贯"，考生需从语义和结构双重角度分析文本，通过识别关键词、逻辑关系和段落功能，实现选项与原文的精准匹配。通过系统训练，学生能逐步掌握 "找线索→定功能→验逻辑" 的解题策略，提升此类题型的得分率。 1 How to Spend Quality Time Together with Family Members Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts. Fortunately, there are lots of concrete steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable. Maintain daily and weekly family routines (常规). 1 Routines help establish a family identity, reduce stress, and create a stable, comfortable environment. In addition to improving communication, regular family meetings can be a major part of your family routine. Make celebrating birthdays and holidays together a family tradition. You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For instance, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do their favorite activity on their birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition. 2 Have meals together as often as possible. Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it’s tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. 3 Family meals are a key routine and can help you stay involved in each other’s lives. Spending time together and having a conversation are more important than eating at the same time. Set aside time for regular family activities. 4 Besides, regular activities could include bike rides, walks, or playing cards or board games. Focus on having fun together and enjoying each other’s company. Do household chores (杂活) together. Few people actually enjoy doing chores, but sharing household responsibilities can help everyone in your family take pride in your home. 5 For example, you could play music or have contests to make doing chores interesting. A．Try to make it as fun as possible. B．But the activities would be varied. C．So, there are many activities you can choose. D．However, do your best to eat together whenever possible. E．If possible, spend an afternoon per week on a family activity F．It is your responsibility to enjoy chores with family members G．Eat, go to sleep, and do regular family activities according to your schedule. 2 Fancy a holiday to the Moon? Sounds crazy? Not really. A Japanese company has been working on how to organize holidays to the Moon for several years now. 1 Trying to make the holiday possible will not be an easy task, and the Japanese company plans to make it in stages. 2 A transport system, like the space shuttle (航天飞机) used by NASA, at the moment is likely to be developed for this purpose. The second stage is to build a big hotel 500 km above the Earth. The hotel will circle around the Earth once every four or five hours, which will offer visitors some fascinating views of the Earth. 3 While this may not seem very exciting at first, think about new sports that can be designed for people to play in zero gravity. 4 As solar energy would be used to provide power, it would be important to build the hotel near one of the poles of the Moon in order to gather as much solar energy as possible. This is because a lunar day, which is 14 Earth days long, is followed by 14 days of darkness. It is also important to find a part of the Moon which is flat, as a long runway will need to be built for the space shuttle to land on. Meanwhile, the company has already developed ways to make cement (水泥) on the Moon. 5 The company plans to produce water from oxygen element (氧元素), which can be found in Moon rocks, and hydrogen (氢), which have to be imported from the Earth. So perhaps in a few years you might be enjoying yourselves on the Moon. A．Next, the hotel will have a wide range of sporting activities. B．Tourists who want to travel into space trips can stay at a big hotel. C．The first thing to do is to organize trips around the Earth for a few hours. D．There is plenty of sand, but the big problem will come with producing water. E．There would probably be holidays to a Moon hotel within the next few decades. F．This part of the development plan does not seem to be too difficult to carry out. G．The final stage in the plan is the construction of a hotel on the surface of the Moon itself. 3 Within weeks of chatbots’ launch, ChatGPT kicked off a new global race in artificial intelligence. The chatbots are part of a fresh wave of so-called generative AI — sophisticated systems that produce content from texts to images. However, one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change (or lower) our expectations. 1 Don’t use chatbots for factual answers Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time. 2 It might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer, it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer. 3 When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet. You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before. Do know what chatbots are best at Chatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrency (加密电子货币) as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed data from Reddit, including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.” 4 That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner. Don’t get frustrated and give up 5 The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further. A．Don’t ask a chatbot once and stop. B．Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm. C．Similarly, there are loads of recipes on the internet. D．ChatGPT is less like a Magic Ball and more like a brainstorming partner. E．While chatbots are far from perfect, they are worth an investment of your time. F．AI chatbots give you the average or typical response from information from lots of websites. G．ChatGPT can offer many ideas, some of which may be the start of a good one for you to develop. 4 In modern society, many traditional Chinese festivals are becoming less and less popular. 1 . Traditional festivals teach us a lot about our nation’s history. The Dragon Boat Festival, for example, is celebrated in honour of Qu Yuan, a great poet living in the Warring States period of ancient China. By celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival with rice dumplings and dragon boat races, the story of Qu Yuan is passed down from generation to generation. 2 . 3 . Many festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, have a caring, family-centred message at their heart. The full moon on the festival is considered to stand for family togetherness and family members will come back home even if they live very far away. With the celebrations of these festivals, younger generations learn to honour fine Chinese values. Finally, traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our national identity. 4 . Traditional festivals tell us who we are and fill us with pride in being Chinese. Traditional festivals have been passed down to us from previous generations. 5 . A．Promoting traditional festivals helps spread knowledge about our national history B．Traditional Chinese festivals are an important part of Chinese culture C．However, they are an important part of Chinese culture, and we must protect and maintain them D．It is the duty of every one of us to protect them for generations to come E．For example, we celebrate the Hanshi Festival and the Laba Festival with unique customs, and these shared experiences bring us together as a people F．We can therefore develop our national pride G．Moreover, traditional festivals enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values 5 Perhaps you love listening to a happy song when you need to cheer up. Or maybe you have an inspiring song that pumps you up whenever you have an important meeting or a job interview. But music can go even further than giving you a more positive mental attitude. 1 . It helps regulate your mood 2 , stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇激素) levels drop and your mood brightens. Therefore, regularly listening to happy music can improve your brain chemistry, helping you achieve greater mental and emotional balance. It reduces stress Regulating your cortisol levels with music can help relieve stress and make you feel more grounded. 3 , including acute stress and chronic (长期的) stress. Listening to music on a regular basis can relieve acute stress and prevent it from turning into chronic stress which is more troublesome. 4 Anxiety affects some people in the US, many of whom also suffer from depression (抑郁症). If you are one of them, your doctor maybe consider adding music as a complement to your medical treatments. This is because listening to music releases a chemical that activates your brain’s reward and pleasure centers. It can increase your motivation In one study, researchers wanted to test the effect of music on the motivation levels of cyclists on bikes. To do this, they changed the speed of the music without the participants’ knowledge. When they increased the speed, the cyclists’ performance increased in terms of distance, speed, and power. 5 . This suggested that the higher-speed music increased their motivation. A．When you listen to upbeat music B．It helps with physical treatments C．It relieves anxiety and depression D．There are different types of stress E．If you keep mental and emotional balance F．It’s also a great way to support your mental fitness G．Decreasing the speed of the music had the opposite effect 6 An earthquake, a natural disaster, is a 'sudden rapid shaking of the earth caused by the shifting of underground rock. Deaths and injuries occur when people try to escape during the shaking. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, and there is no way to predict them. 1 Here are some tips to learn what to do during an earthquake to better protect yourself. 2 Earthquakes can happen but are more common in certain areas. Find out if you live in an area where earthquakes easily happen. And figure out the situations of your surroundings. Are you inside or outside? Is the space that you are currently in crowds or near the exit? How can you protect yourself within the shortest time? Prevent possible injuries. Identify things that might fall during shaking. Imagine if the room were shaken up and down, and side to side, which items could fall and cause damage to you? Consider things such as televisions, shelves, mirrors, and bookcases. 3 Gather necessary supplies. 4 Portable chargers for devices are also good for getting in touch with the outside area. To protect your feet from glass, have yourself and family wear some pairs of firm shoes. And a flashlight and a dust mask help you wait for the rescue. Learn emergency（紧急情况）skills. People may be injured, and emergency services may not be available. 5 Knowing where nearby emergency shelters for disasters are is of equal importance. Get a fire extinguisher and learn how to use it safely. Be ready to live without power, gas, and water. A．Understand the risk. B．Protect certain areas. C．But you can take action to prepare. D．So learning first aid can be beneficial to saving others. E．It is important for people to know about various disasters. F．Secure these items so they don't hurt you during an earthquake. G．You can prepare needed supplies like food, water, and medicine in advance. 7 4 common workout mistakes you might be making Getting into shape is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions-yet, only eight percent of people who set a sweeping goal for the year ahead see it through. 1 A few common missteps cat serve as early clues for you to become aware you might be preparing to abandon your exercise goals. 2 Trying to force your way to the intensity (强度) you think you should be able to handle often leads people to quit their program early-or develop an overuse condition like tendinitis (腱炎). The first two weeks of any training program should be at “such a low intensity that it almost feels like a waste of time. That can include light cardio (有氧运动), strength work, and range-of-motion conditioning. You don’t stick to a plan. 3 So, keep things fun and incorporate activities that you enjoy. If you want to change your body composition and build strength, sticking to a strength program for at least three months is your best bet. You don’t fuel your body. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine confirmed that you can’t exercise your way out of a poor diet. 4 If you’re just starting an exercise routine, make sure you’re eating enough right foods for your new level of activity. Skimping on carbs (碳水化合物) and protein can leave you feeling tired and weak, thus extending your body’s recovery time. You avoid strength training. People working toward weight-loss goals tend to spend too much of their time doing cardio. Endless cardio will not help you lose fat any quicker and can just make fitness feel boring. Part of this mindset comes from a fear of getting bulky (笨重) through strength training, which, however, is a total myth (谬论). 35 A．You skip your warm-up. B．You hold yourself to certain expectations. C．It may also lead to injuries that seriously set you back. D．So how can you make sure you’re part of that disciplined eight percent? E．The biggest workout mistake beginners make is switching their program too frequently. F．Actually it will help shape your body and it can help you see definition in your muscles. G．So eating well and staying physically active are both crucial parts of your physical fitness. 8 First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. 1 They think it's a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it's a life skill we all should try to learn. According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people's lack of first aid knowledge. That's a tall number considering we live in the modern age. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. 2 We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. 3 In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it's the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That's why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way. 4 It's a vital step that prevents injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient's condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. 5 A．Developed countries witness a greater death rate. B．But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours. C．However, if you can employ CPR, it can relieve the damage. D．It's a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for. E．The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid. F．Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis. G．The first few minutes are the most critical in the case of a medical emergency. 9 Emotional regulation (情绪管理) is taking any action that changes the intensity (强度) of an emotional experience. It doesn’t mean preventing or avoiding emotions. 1 . We are expected to manage our emotions in ways that are socially acceptable. There are a number of skills that can help us self-regulate our emotions. · 2 Emotions happen fast. We don’t think “now I will be angry”—we just suddenly have fires in our eyes and become extremely angry. So the number one skill in regulating difficult emotions is to pause. Take a breath. Slow down the moment between trigger (触发) and response. ·Noticing what you feel An equally important skill involves the ability to become aware of what you’re feeling. Dr Judson Brewer, MD PhD recommends practices for becoming more curious about your own physical reactions. In what parts of your body are you noticing feelings? Is your stomach upset? Is your heart racing? 3 . Looking into what is happening to you physically can also draw away your focus and reduce the intensity of the emotion. ·Naming what you feel After noticing what you feel, the ability to name it can help you get control of what is happening. Ask yourself: What would you call the emotions you’re feeling? Is it anger, sadness, or disappointment? 4 . ·Accepting the emotion 5 . Rather than beating yourself up for feeling angry or scared, recognize that your emotional reactions are acceptable. Try to practice self-sympathy and give yourself respect. Recognize that experiencing emotions is a normal human reaction. A．Creating space. B．Forecasting what you feel. C．Emotions come and go so that you hardly notice them. D．Identifying emotions will help you share your feelings with others. E．Emotions are a normal and natural part of how we react to situations. F．Your physical reactions can show what you are experiencing emotionally. G．It refers to the ability to effectively control our emotions through various ways. 10 Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life. You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t. 1 Self-confidence is something you can develop. According to Psychology Today, confidence can be nurtured (培养), and it is possible to build it and let it grow at any given time in your life. It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you. 2 So where do you start? You start, according to a blog on Psych Central, with self-acceptance. Being honest with yourself and practicing self-love and self-acceptance is what it is all about. There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success. 3 The good news is that it’s up to you. Sit with yourself, meditate and journal (冥想和记日记). Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others. 4 You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others. Because someone who is at peace with themselves and has confidence, according to Inc Magazine, is able to have compassion (同情) towards others. Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role. 5 People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are. Remember that building confidence is a journey. There isn’t necessarily a destination or an end goal. Accept yourself and be proud of who you are. A．This needs lots of practices. B．That’s not necessarily true. C．You should let go of perfection. D．These practices can be beneficial. E．You can benefit from talking to others. F．It’s a muscle that can be strengthened and worked on. G．It’s about where you came from and how far you’ve come. 11 How to Get into College The college admission world can be mysterious. But experts urge students not to panic. 1 •Get an early start and finish high school strong Colleges want to see that you’ve focused from the start on getting the best possible education your high school has to offer. High school shouldn’t just happen to you. 2 . Colleges like to see that a student is on an upward way where they show continued improvement, particularly during their junior and senior years. •Challenge yourself responsibly Admission officers attach importance to overall high school GPA, grades in Advanced Placement or other college-prepared classes, a careful course plan and a student’s writing file or personal paper. 3 , according to a 2019 report from the National Association for College Admission Counseling. • 4 Colleges are looking for students with rich experiences and various interests. So don’t just join the clubs; make it count. After all, what matters most is that your experiences are helping to transform you in positive ways and teaching you valuable lessons and habits that will shape you far beyond the college admission process.
