Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 　36　 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.  After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 　37　 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.  　38　 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music.Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 　39　 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market.　40　  A. They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964. B. Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time. C. Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s. D. However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come. E.

Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue? You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended? What is going on here? Is your memory failing? It’s not. 36 Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. 37 Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget? 38 Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you're exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention. The other has something to do with stimulus(刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. 39 _Why does this happen? The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation(激活)of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for. So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. 40 A. One necessary factor is attention. B. It’s doing exactly what it's supposed to do. C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings. D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t. E. You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory. F. It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago. G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do. 3 Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should I jump?" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 　36　 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.  　37　 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.  You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 　38　 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.  Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 　39　 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.  Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 　40　 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.  You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals. A. This can affect your work. B. So how should you motivate yourself? C. However, this should not discourage you. D. So why should we try to set specific goals? E. They can change according to circumstances. F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job. G. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it. 4 　　Are you an angry bird? When you’re angry, your body becomes tense. 　36　 Here are some other simple tricks to chill out and think when you get angry.  　　　37　 Think like a detective and track down clues to the kinds of situations, people, and events that set off your anger. Once you’re aware of them, try to avoid them if possible.Even if you can’t get away from them, at least you’ll have more time to prepare for them so they don’t affect you so negatively. You can also think of the situation as an opportunity to practice not getting mad.   　　Go for a walk.When you get really angry, walk away from the source. A 5-minute walk outside or another calming activity like yoga can be both great strategies for dealing with anger. If your anger arises from the traffic jam you’re stuck in, turn up the radio and sing at the top of your voice. 　38　  　　Write letters.　39　 So if you’re trying to calm down fast, grab your journal and write your feelings all out. You can simply write your own feelings or try writing a letter to the person who upsets you. You never have to send it and just writing it will help you feel better.  　　Talk about your anger.It’s not just writing that helps relieve anger. 　40　 The trick is not to unload your anger on the person making you upset but to release your pressure by talking with a neutral(中立的) friend, family member, or specialist. A neutral observer can bring reasonable judgment to the situation. You can even try talking out loud to yourself about it.  　　Now that you’ve learned how to keep your anger in check, try some of these little changes that will make you a happier person. A. Control your temper. B. Understand your anger. C. Expressing it orally can also calm you down greatly. D. Writing out your feelings really does help you feel better. E. The idea is to create a mental or physical escape from the situation. F. Deep breathing is just one of the ways you can instantly turn a bad mood around. G. Exercise can help people lower their levels of anger and other negative emotions. 　　 5 Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 　36　 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.   People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking". 　37　 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.   Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 　38　  Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 　39　 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.   　40　 It’s rare to hear someone say, "I wish that speaker had spoken longer." On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, "I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.   A. Do the opposite. B. You want to be an effective public speaker. C. You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip. D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more. E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 6 Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one’s head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself. 　36　 Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.  　37　 People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans(寿命), lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one’s ability to deal with problems and hardships. 　38　 For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer(缓冲作用) against depression and anxiety. Resilient(适应性强的) people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. 　39　  In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one’s life. It doesn’t have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. 　40　 Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one’s physical and mental health.  A. It doesn’t cause any severe emotional discomfort, either. B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect. C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations. D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind. E. As thinking changes, an individual’s behaviour and habits change as well. F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking. G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small. 7 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. ____36____ But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? _____37____ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. _____38____ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you're a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in-person courses. _____39____ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. _____40____ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts. A. But that doesn’t mean there aren't deadlines. B. Your motivation should be your main concern. C. Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D. Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E. The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F. If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G. A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. 8 My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. ___36____ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway. The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水管 ) worked.____37____ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it. Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight._____38_____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs. _____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18! In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率).You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded.____40____ When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call. A.Not all the customers are tourists. B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent. C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers. E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do. F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians. G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$02七选五精选之段落中句【解析版】 1 Rock music consists of many different styles.

Here are some principles you must master.   People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking". 　37　 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.   Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 　38　  Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 　39　 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.   　40　 It’s rare to hear someone say, "I wish that speaker had spoken longer." On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, "I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.   A. Do the opposite. B. You want to be an effective public speaker. C. You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip. D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more. E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience. F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners. G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. C 39. B 40. D 【导语】本文主要介绍了成为优秀的演讲者必须掌握的几个准则,即注意和听众互动,不要太过在意犯小错误,不断练习,简化演讲内容等。 36. 上文“Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.(有些人天生就具备出色的演讲才能。)”提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋,下文“Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.  (你想成为一名出色的公众演说家吗？以下是一些你必须掌握的原则。)”陈述了成为优秀演讲者应掌握的准则。据此可以判断,空处起承上启下的作用,说明大部分人因为经过训练才可以成为演讲者,所以G项However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. (然而，大多数能够出色表达的人之所以如此，是因为他们经过了专门的训练。)符合句意。故选G。 37. 根据上文“Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking".”可知,很多时候,当你站起来演讲时,你会把注意力放在"听众"身上,而不是"演讲"上,再根据下文“Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking".”可知，要把注意力放在演讲上,直接和你的听众交谈,做你自己并建立联系。据此可以判断,空处与上句构成转折关系,所以A项Do the opposite. (做相反的事情)。故选A。 38. 根据上文中的"So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one(所以，当你犯错时不要停止说话，除非这个错误非常严重才行。)"可知,当你犯错时不要停止演讲,除非是非常严重的错误。据此可以推知,空处承接上文,说明犯小错误时不必道歉,所以C项You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.(你无需为一点小失误而道歉。)符合句意。故选C。 39. 根据上文中的"Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker"可知,你的目标不是成为一个完美的演讲者。据此可知,空处与此对应,说明你的目标是要成为有效的演讲者,所以选B项You want to be an effective public speaker. (你想要成为一名出色的公众演说家。)符合句意。故选B。 40. 根据全文结构可知,空处为该段的主题句。结合下文中的"It’s rare to hear someone say, ‘I wish that speaker had spoken longer.’(很少会听到有人这样说道：“我希望那个演讲者能再多讲一会儿。”)" 和"Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated(始终将你的演示内容控制得比预期的要短一些。)"可知,本段讲述的主要内容是:使你的演讲短一些,所以D项When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more. (在进行公开演讲时，通常来说，简洁明了往往比冗长复杂更有效。)最能概括本段内容。故选D。 6 Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one’s head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself. 　36　 Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.  　37　 People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans(寿命), lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one’s ability to deal with problems and hardships. 　38　 For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer(缓冲作用) against depression and anxiety. Resilient(适应性强的) people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. 　39　  In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one’s life. It doesn’t have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. 　40　 Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one’s physical and mental health.  A. It doesn’t cause any severe emotional discomfort, either. B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect. C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations. D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind. E. As thinking changes, an individual’s behaviour and habits change as well. F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking. G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. G 40. A 【导语】本文主要介绍了积极思维会给人们带来积极的影响。积极思维对人们的身心健康都有好处,它是一种人们应对艰难时刻和改善生活质量的强大而有效的工具。 36. 空前“ Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.(自我对话是指一个人持续不断的内心思绪，此人往往对某些事件、现象、人物，甚至对自己本人的情况都不清楚或不太明白。)”介绍了自言自语的定义,空后一句“Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. (与此同时，积极的思维方式能够帮助我们停止消极的自我对话，并开始对某个问题形成积极的看法。)”讲到了"同时,积极思维可以帮助阻止消极的自言自语,帮助(人们)对问题开始形成积极的看法",据此可知,空处讲到的应该是消极的自言自语可能带来的危害,因此B项Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.(消极的自我对话会损害自信心，降低自尊心。)符合语境。故选B。 37. 结合下文可知,空后一句“People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans(寿命), lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. (那些心态积极的人往往拥有更长的寿命、更低的抑郁和焦虑发病率、更良好的身心健康状况，以及更低的心脏疾病致死风险。)”讲到了积极思考的人更长寿、不易抑郁和焦虑、身体和心理健康状况更好以及死于心脏问题的风险也小,即主要讲述了积极思维对身心的几项好处,所以D项Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.(积极的心态对身体和心理都有诸多有益的影响。)符合语境。故选D。 38. 本段主要讲到了积极思维的好处;再结合下文中的举例可知,研究者发现在伴随强烈情感的危机情况下,积极思维可以给人们提供抵抗抑郁和焦虑的一种缓冲,据此可知,设空处是讲积极思维在困难情况下的作用,所以C项It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.(它有助于人在面临困难局面时保持头脑清醒、充满信心。)符合语境。故选C。 39. 结合空前一句“Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. (相反,悲观主义者倾向于把问题看作额外压力的来源)”可知,本空讲到的应该是这样做的危害和影响,所以G项They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.(他们往往在试图解决任何问题之前（哪怕是一个小问题）就已经感到灰心丧气了。)符合语境。故选G。 40. 结合本段中心句“In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one’s life. (总之，积极的心态是应对艰难时刻、提升生活质量的有力且有效的手段。)”可知,本段主要总结了积极思维对人们的用处,且A项 It doesn’t cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.(它也不会造成任何严重的心理不适。)在句式上与前一句类似,所以A项符合语境。故选A。 7 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. ____36____ But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? _____37____ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. _____38____ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you're a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in-person courses. _____39____ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. _____40____ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts. A. But that doesn’t mean there aren't deadlines. B. Your motivation should be your main concern. C. Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D. Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E. The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F. If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G. A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. D 40. E 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。介绍了在线学习的优点、缺点和一些建议。 36. 空格处于段落中间，承上启下。根据空格前“In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience.(在过去的几年里，在线学习已经成为大学生活的重要组成部分。)”所以G项A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses.(一项调查发现，29%的大学生注册了网络课程。对前面的观点提供了具体的数据，进一步说明在线学习已经成为大学生活的重要组成部分。)符合语境。故选G。 37. 空格处于段落中间，承上启下。根据空格前“But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you?(但是所有的在线课程都是平等的吗?你如何确定数字化学习适合你?这是两个有关在线学习的疑问。)”所以F项If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade?(如果你选择在线课程，你能做些什么来确保最好的成绩?)这是第三个疑问。与空格后语境相符，就这三个问题，We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses.我们采访了学生和教授，听取他们对在线课程的建议。故选F。 38. 空格处于段落中间，承上启下。根据空格前“The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime.(在线学习最明显的优势是你可以随时随地学习。)”以及空格后“I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,(我认为很多人都忽略了一点，那就是落后于计划是多么容易。)” 可知，前面为在线学习的优点，后面为在线学习的缺点，前后形成鲜明的对比，说明空格处语义发生转折。所以A项But that doesn't mean there aren't deadlines.(但这并不意味着没有截止日期)，这与空格前you can study anywhere and anytime.(你可以随时随地学习)形成鲜明对比。故选A。 39. 空格处于段落中间，承上启下。根据空格后的He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades.(他指出，他的在线学生最终的成绩通常较低。)可知，He应该指代空格处的某个人物。所以D项Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.(亚历克斯·戴维森教授亲自授课和在线授课同样的课程。)此处He指代的就是 Professor Alex Davidson，其它选项都无法提供He的信息，而且符合下文语境。故选D。 40. 空格处于段首，一般为段落主题句。根据空格后的主要内容“A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem.(社会关系通常是学习的重要组成部分。你可以做一些事情来缓解这个问题。)”接下来为Jessica Pink给出的解决这个问题的几点建议：E项The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction.(社会关系通常是学习的重要组成部分。你可以做一些事情来缓解这个问题。)其中human interaction与下文的“social connection，taking online courses with a friend，find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group(社交联系、与朋友一起参加在线课程、在班级讨论板上寻找同学以组建学习小组)”等都为同一范畴的内容，都与人际交往有关。故选E。 8 My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. ___36____ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway. The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水管 ) worked.____37____ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it. Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight._____38_____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs. _____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18! In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率).You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded.____40____ When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call. A.Not all the customers are tourists. B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent. C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers. E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do. F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians. G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. G 39. E 40. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了夫妇在法国巴黎一家旅馆体验生活的经历。文章描述了夫妇入住旅馆、购买食品蔬菜、喝咖啡时的所见所闻所感。本文旨在培养学生正确的生存价值观。 36. 设空处前句提到just spent a week in Paris，后句又提到So the first thing we did was rent a... apartment.由此可知，本句是要表达“夫妇租住的目的或目标”这层意思，F项“我们的目标就是看看我们是否如同真正巴黎人那样生活。”承上文，接下文，符合语境。故选F。 37. 根据设空处前句the plumbing ( 水管 ) worked和后句Our building even had a tiny lift判断，这里需要一个描述细节的句子。C项“有一个漂亮厨房和一张舒适的床”正好承接上线文，符合语境与逻辑。故选C。 38. 根据上文的they eat great food and never gain weight和下文的French strawberries do not taste like可知，这里需要一个表达 strawberries味道程度的句子。G项“这种食物是如此地美味以至于你不需吃多少就开心了”，符合题意。故选G。 39. 上一段文字评述someone(they)对 strawberries的感知，设空处位于该段的段首，即小结上文，又开启下文I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries，在语意上起过渡作用。E项“那就是法国人吃得比我们少的原因”恰好符合题意。故选E。 40. 设空处前句提到 French cafés are always crowded. 设空处后句又提到When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously....由此可知，语意由“闲”转“忙”，本句应该是一个转折句。A项“并非所有的顾客都是游客”符合题意。故选A。 【长难句分析】The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.（最后一段最后一句）。 分析：这是一个复合句。句中的so ...that...引导结果状语从句。从句中limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call为现在分词短语，后置修饰a deal，而在这个作定语的现在分词短语中，又有一个that引导的定语从句，修饰hours。 译文：法国人每周认真工作35小时——是如此地认真以致于一些劳动工会近来与一些公司达成协议，要求限制独立合同中随叫随到的时间总量。 词汇积累： strike a deal 成交，达成协议； contractors 合同； be on call 随叫随到。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
