B七选五 【语篇导读】本文是说明文。临近大考，考 生既忙碌又紧张。那么，作为家长应该怎 么办呢？本文给家长提供了一些建议。 1.C上句建议父母告诉孩子考前感到紧张 非常正常，这里在谈论鼓励孩子分享心情和 感受，下文提到倾听他们的忧虑。因此，C 项符合语境。 2.F下文在谈论“压力”问题，因此F项（建 议父母分享自己克服工作压力的故事)符合 语境。 3.E上文指出一些考生可能想为了备考放 弃睡眠时间，接下来应该是作者对此发表的 看法，因此E项正确。 4.G上文建议父母给孩子一些休息放松的 时间，下文应该对此具体展开说明。另外， 下句“It can also be in the form of.,”也暗 示这里应该选择G项。 5.D上文建议父母帮助孩子制订学习时间 表，这样做自然是“表明家长对孩子的学习 和进步很感兴趣”，故D项正确。 15 C完形填空

Holmes写的。 lo.B根据本段最后一句had Mr.Holmes words written at ninety可知，这句格言是 (Dliver Wendell Holmes90岁时所说的话 的一部分。 11.A根据下句可知，作者对于山姆感到惊 叹和佩服。 12.C作者感到惊讶的原因是：山姆75岁高 龄，竞然能一下就识别出书签上格言的 作者。 13.B山姆说这些话提醒他无论年龄多大， 人活在世上总要有一个理由。 14.C无论年龄多大，你需要有目标。由文 章结尾的Here was Sam at75 and still 16 setting his goals,可以得知此答案。 15.B作者想到有些人比山姆年轻但是一事 无成。accomplish意为“达到：完成：实 现”，accomplish much“取得很大成就”， accomplish little“一事无成”。

是定语从句，从句缺少作主语的引导词。故 答案为关系代词which或that。 3.rgest考查形容词最高级。此处表达最 高级意义。故答案为形容词最高级形式 largest. 4.undertaking考查非谓语动词。所填词作 定语，修饰shops,两者为主动关系，故答案 为现在分词undertaking。 5.be seen考查情态动词的被动语态。根据 句子结构判断，空格处应是句子的谓语动 词，空前有情态动词can,故应用动词原形， 且句子主语Ghostwriting advertisements与 动词see是被动关系，表示“被看到”。故答 案为be seen.,与can一起构成带有情态动词 的被动语态。 语法锦囊：含有情态动词的被动语态的结 构为“情态动词十be十过去分词”，其时态 及句型的燮化由情态动词完成，“be十过去 分词”部分保持不变。 6.the考查冠词。根据空格后面的to earn pocket money判断，desire在此是特指“赚 零花钱的欲望”。故答案应为定冠词the,表 特指。 T.to reduce考查非谓语动词。try后面可以 跟动词不定式，意为“尽力做某事”，也可以 跟动名词，意为“尝试做某事”。此处表达的 是“教育部门一直以来在尽力减少中小学生 的作业量”，故此处的ty后应该跟动词不 定式，答案为to

语是互指关系。动物睡眠的时候无法保护 幼崽，也无法保护它自己。 语法锦囊：反身代词表示动作的承受者就 是动作的发出者，即主语和宾语指同一个 人或一些人。反身代词作宾语与人称代词 作宾语所表达的含义不同。 3.which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可 知，所填词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前 面的整个句子。 4.oher考查不定代词。上文提到with only half their brain,故此处指另一半，用the other half 5.depending考查非谓语动词。句意为：一 些迁徙鸟类可以根据季节调整它们所需的 睡眠时间。句中已有谓语动词adjust,.故此 处用非谓语动词，depend和主语birds之间 是主动关系，因此用现在分词作状语， depend on表示“根据，依靠” 6.during考查介词。该介词之后跟名词词 组migration season作宾语，表示“在迁徙的 季节”。 7.hours考查名词复数。hour是可数名词， 且被more所修饰，故用复数。此处是指和 食草动物相比，食肉动物需要更多的睡眠 时间。 8.onstantly考查副词。副词修饰后面表示 动作意义的介词短语。此处句意为：这些食 草动物是被猎食的种类，经常要防范食肉 动物。 9.ives考查名词复数。根据主句的意思可

Your eyes can also say a great deal,and you will want to be aware of what you are expressing and what is being expressed to you.If you roll your eyes at something someone says,it may hurt that person's feelings.Amazement,joy,sadness,the list goes on and on for the emotions that can be shown with the eyes.

Now,the average American can expect to live until at least 78.Recent medical research has promised us to extend human life further.But,what are the effects of this new medicine and what consequences would it have upon society? One might think that a longer-living society would lead to an increase in population,but the reality is quite different.Population growth is more determined by birth rates than mortality(s死亡率)rates,“In the very short term,falls in mortality do create population growth,"observes Jane Falkingham,professor and director of the Centre of Population Change at the University of Southampton."In the longer period,it is birth rates that are the engine rather than mortality. The oldest living person ever recorded was Jeanne Calment from France,who lived for 122 years (1875 to 1997).Since health care has continually improved since that time,it is surprising that this record has not yet been surpassed().However,it seems we will die once we reach certain age.There was a paper that came out in 2016 that argued we might not be able to live longer than 120 years. Others think differently.Aubrey De Grey,professor at the SENS Foundation,believes the human lifespan()could soon extend to 1,000.However,as Falkingham observes, “Not very many people agree with him.” Even though the new technology can extend human life,it's hard to make the treatment available to all because of the high prices.Many elderly people struggle with conditions like cancer, heart disease,dementia()and others.Much of the current medical research is not about living longer,but rather living healthier for longer. "Part of being human is that we have a limited life and that we pace our lives.It is far better to put all our resources into having everyone living healthily,rather than having a few people to live into the far future,"says Sarah Harper,professor at the University of Oxford. 1.What's the author's concern over the practice of extending human life? A.The practical purpose. B.People's reaction to it. C.The potential influences. D.The possibility of doing it. 2.What has the biggest effect on population growth? A.An increasing number of old people. B.An increasing number of young people. C.The fact that fewer people die every year. D.The fact that more babies are born every year. 3.What makes the author feel surprised according to Paragraph 3? A.Nobody lived more than 122 years. B.Jeanne Calment lived a very long life. C.Many people lived more than 122 years. D.Nobody lived longer than Jeanne Calment. 4.What does Sarah Harper think of extending human life? A.It's very worthwhile. B.It isn't so wise a choice. C.It has more negative effects.

Lawyer John Kralik had been feeling depressed and discouraged whenever he took account of his life:He'd been divorced twice.He wasn't as close with his children as he wanted to be. His law practice wasn't earning money despite too many hours he devoted to work.At a particularly low point,he remembered his grandfather telling him,decades earlier,about the importance of gratitude.He decided to write 365 thank-you notes over 365 days.hoping for a positive change. Immediately,he noticed his attitude and situation begin to improve."I didn't need a scientific study to know that if you are grateful to people and if you learn how to accept gratitude well from other people,your life will be enriched,"Kralik says of his simple acts of expressing thanks."The first effects are that you realise that you have a much better life than you thought.” I'd experienced such positive feelings after writing thank-you notes to those police and paramedics(护理人员)，and I decided to try again.This time,inspired by Kralik,I chose someone from my past whom I'd never thanked before:the high school English teacher who had encouraged my writing more than any other teachers I'd ever had. I spent an evening honing()my letter,thanking him for the guidance and support that he'd given me years earlier.I may never hear back from him,but that isn't the point.By taking time to put into words the impact that my teacher had on my life and my career,I became infinitely more grateful and appreciative of what I've achieved in life,and I've been riding that burst of positivity for weeks. 1.What did Kralik's grandfather tell him many years ago? A.It was easy to show gratitude. B.Thank-notes are very important. C.He should try to make more money. D.Being thankful to others was beneficial. 2.What can we know from Kralik's words? A.He carried on a study. B.He has become fairly positive. C.He learned to accept gratitude. D.He has just done his simple acts. 3.Who is the author most likely to be thankful for according to the text? A.His parents. B.John Kralick. C.His grandparents. D.His English teacher. 4.How has the author felt for weeks according to the last paragraph? A.Tired. B.Busy. C.Happy. D.Worried. 30 Part1基础训练 B 话题：考前准备 体裁：说明文 词数：279+81 七选五 难度：★★★★☆ 建议用时：7分钟 客案册：P15 As national exams are fast approaching,here are some ways you can support your children through this stressful period. Talk to them about exam nerves It's important to communicate with your children that feeling nervous before an exam is entirely normal.1 Listen to their concerns and help them process their emotions.Always be supportive and give constructive feedback()while avoiding being critical and negative. 2 This can help them understand that stress is something that everyone goes through at different times. Make sure they get enough sleep Your kids may want to give up sleep in order to get more study time.3 According to Dr.Rachel Dawkins from the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital,kids who regularly get enough sleep have improved attention,behaviour,learning,memory and overall mental and physical health.Kids aged 6 to 12 should get between 9 and 12 hours of sleep,while teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 should get 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night. Help them get some time down The closer you get to the exams,the more important it is to help your kids get some time down away from studying.4 It can also be in the form of mindfulness meditation(), which can help sharpen their mind,help them focus and also improve their memory. Help them with their revision Another way to show support is by helping your children come up with a study timetable. Talk them through what needs to be done and help them work out how much time they will need for each subject.5 Remember to schedule()regular breaks for them to relax. A.Focus on your exams. B.You need to get well prepared for it. C.Encourage them to share their feelings with you. D.This shows them that you are interested in their progress. E.However,it is far healthier to encourage them to go to bed early. F.Perhaps you can share a simple story about how you overcome work stress. G.This can be in the form of physical activity,such as going to the park to take exercise. 2. 3. 5. 31 名师英语专项训练·高考 C 话题：书签上的格言 体裁：记叙文 词数：290+60 完形填空 难度：★★★★☆ 建议用时：15分钟 客案册：P16 Sam had many bookmarks that he has collected over the years.He had just I his 75th birthday,and a surprise birthday party was held for him.

Firstly,I didn't realise how difficult it would be to adapt to the Spanish day and the timings(时间控制)of meals.Spanish“midday”is at 14:0o,meaning lunch is never before then.My expectation was that I would be eating lunch at 12:00,13:00,but most days it's 15:30 before I eat lunch.Can I really still call this lunch?The same applies with dinner or tea. In the UK I eat dinner between 18:00 and 19:00,but now that I am an adapted Spaniard, dinner time is 21:30. The thing I didn't realise is that this affects the Spanish sleeping routine.Eating dinner so late of course means that Spaniards go to bed so much later.It is such a British thing to go to bed at 22:00!Also,because everything happens later in Spain,the evening socialising time, especially at the weekend,is very late!The majority of British nightclubs,for example,close at 02:00 am or 03:00 am,but here the party is only just starting at 02:00 am!This is something else that has really taken me by surprise. Queuing politely and being cautious around strangers is also something that is very British,something that I only realised when I arrived in Spain.I took it for granted that queuing patiently is the norm,but this definitely isn't the case in Spain.If there's a free table in a restaurant,you quickly take it,even if there's other people who have been waiting longer than you.Perhaps we could say that the etiquette()of politely queuing in Britain is synonymous with a culture where interacting with people you don't know is less common. 1.What happened when the author reached Spain? A.He found a good job at school. B.He enjoyed the different life there. C.He wasn't used to its culture at all. D.His expectations changed quite a few. 2.What time does the author probably have lunch in the UK? A.At14:00. B.At12:00. C.At15:30. D.At21:30. 3.What affects the author's sleeping time mostly? A.The lunch time. B.The dinner time. C.The breakfast time. D.The socialising time. 4.Which of the following may be the British style? A.People are polite to each other B.Many people have meals outside. C.People enjoy waiting for a long time. D.There are few people in the restaurant. 33 名师英语专项训练·高考 B 话题：受益终身的减肥方法 体裁：说明文 词数：331+149 阅读理解 难度：★★★☆☆ 建议用时：6分钟 答案册：P16 It almost seems that half of the world are on a diet at any one time,and the other half are planning to start a diet as soon as they find the right one for them.What are the ways that you can use to achieve weight loss that works for life? Start every morning with a healthy breakfast.Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.It sets the pace for the rest of the day.It supplies you with the energy to get going and get things done.If you skip breakfast,it increases the chances that you will overeat later in the day.Do not start your day by eating carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Have three light meals and three snacks a day.If you have a snack halfway between each meal,it will help keep your blood sugar stable(稳定的)，keep you from getting over hunger and keep your energy level.Some ideas for snacks are dried fruit,a small amount of mixed nuts,yogurt or a lettuce. Drink at least 8 glasses of fresh water each day.Water helps move everything through your body.Water is also needed by your brain and it helps maintain(the proper body temperature.It has the added benefit of making you feel full. Exercise must be a part of any weight loss that works for life.You must burn as many calories as you consume or you will start to put the weight back on.Exercise should not be too hard.Something as easy as walking for a half hour to an hour will do to keep you burning calories.It gives your heart a little workout while getting fresh air into your lungs. If you follow these steps and plan your meals in advance so that you don't overeat,you are on your way to weight loss that works for life.Make it a lifestyle change and not a diet, and it will be much easier to maintain. 1.The passage mainly talks about A.the importance of weight loss B.the ways to lose weight for life C.do's and don'ts about weight loss D.the relationship between diet and health 2.If you don't have breakfast,you will most likely A.feel upset all the day B.eat too much for your lunch C.hate to eat anything in the day D.lose weight quickly 3.Which of the following is the benefit of drinking water?

Because personal statements are personal,there is no one type or style of writing that is set out as a model.1 A personal statement is your introduction to a selection committee. Start by examining the prompt().Oftentimes,applicants are asked very specific questions about why they are applying to a particular program and what,specifically,qualifies them to be part of that program.2 Also,do not send the same personal statement to different programs if those programs are asking different questions. Decide how your experience is different,interesting,or special.3 Don't say you want to go to medical school because you want to help people or you want to be a veterinarian (because you like animals.Instead,tell a story about Megan,the seven-year-old leukemia()patient you met when you volunteered in the cancer ward of Boston Children's Hospital in April 2008. Research the program.4 And you should make it clear that you chose it carefully from among its competitors.Think about how your goals will best be served by this particular university.Again,be specific.Any MBA program will grant you the "skills you need"to succeed in the business world.What will this specific MBA program do? 5 Just as your past is interesting and specific,so is your future.What do you plan to do,and how will this program help you do it?Do you want to develop long-term convection models for the eastern seaboard?How do you plan to get there,and how does this particular program fit into that plan? A.Make your goals clear. B.Write all the things you know. C.A personal statement means everything. D.Think about the question you've been asked. E.Personal statements succeed when they are specific. F.The program you're applying to is also unique in some ways. G.But while every personal statement is unique in style,its purpose is the same. 2. 3. 5. 35 名师英语专项训练·高考 D语法填空 话题：非法代写作业 体裁：记叙文 词数：215 Passage 1 难度：★★★☆☆ 建议用时：10分钟 答案册：P17 As the end of the summer holiday approaches,Chinese elementary and junior high school students find 1 (they)bogged down with too many school assignments.However, emerging illegal ghostwriting service 2 is offered on different online platforms seems like a great"help"to them.On Taobao,China's 3 (large)e-commerce platform,you can find shops 4 (undertake)such services.Ghostwriting advertisements can also 5 (see)on some social media platforms such as Weibo.

D语法填空 话题：动物的睡眠 体裁：说明文 词数：250 Passage 2 难度：★★★☆☆ 建议用时：10分钟 答案册：P17 Is there some universal factor for why animals sleep?Paul Shaw,PhD,certainly thinks so. "Sleep is costly.When 1 animal sleeps,it's not taking care of its young;it's not protecting 2 (it),and it's not eating,"he said in an article.But it seems that sleep may serve different functions for different animals,3 is why there are such wildly different sleep durations and ways of sleeping,depending on the many factors at play for a species. For instance,many whale species sleep with only half their brain at a time,keeping the 4 half active for such important functions as staying at the surface for breathing.Some migratory birds can adjust how much sleep they need 5 (depend)on the season,getting by with much less sleep 6 migration season than at other times of the year.Meanwhile, carnivores(食肉动物)have the luxury of sleeping more7(hour)in the day than herbivores(食草动物)，which are generally prey species8(constant)on the lookout for carnivores. And most mammal infants sleep much of the time during their first few weeks and months of 9 (life),yet baby dolphins don't sleep at all in their first few months.This shows that while sleep is 10 (importance)for cognitive function for some species,that may not be why sleep is vital to other species. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 36
