考前押题05 阅读之七选五必刷20题（期中专项训练） 题型1 说明文 题型4 应用文 题型2 记叙文 题型3 议论文 题型1 说明文 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·安徽合肥·期中）We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back. What’s the deal? While being left on read (已读不回) can be confusing, it’s also pretty common. 1 Here are a few tips. Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren’t aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. 2 They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. 3 If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience. Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! 4 5 Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind. Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time. A．Put your phone away. B．Fix your attention closely on text responses. C．Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply. D．They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. E．Ask yourself why being left on “read” frustrates or confuses you. F．You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back. G．You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread. 【答案】1．F 2．D 3．C 4．G 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当别人阅读你的信息后，不回复你时，要学会心平气和的面对，不要让社交软件影响到你的生活。 1．根据后文“Here are a few tips.(这里有一些建议)”以及前文“it’s also pretty common.(这种情况很常见）”可知，空处应该是承上启下说明可以应用这些建议避免被影响，所以F项“You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.(你可以避免这种情况困扰你)”符合文意。故选F项。 2．根据上文“Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response.(以下是延迟响应的其他一些原因。)”以及下文“They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. (他们把手机收起来，专注于工作或学习。他们不小心忘了回复。也许他们想到了他们想说什么，但实际上并没有发短信。)”可知，空处是延迟响应的可能原因，与D项“They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. (他们想给你更长的回复，但现在不能)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选D项。 3．根据前文“Resist the temptation to double- text.(不要信息轰炸对方)”以及后文“If you send a lot of follow- up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.(如果你发了很多后续短信，他们很难跟上，他们可能会感到压力。只给他们留一条信息，让他们跟上进度——对方可能会感激你的耐心)”可知，本段讲述不要一直给对方发信息，要给对方一些时间，让他们跟上你的信息，所以C项“Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.(给他们一点空间，让他们有机会回答)”符合文意。故选C项。 4．根据段首句“Read over your previous messages. (阅读你之前的信息)”，及上文“See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! (看看是否有什么令人困惑的文本需要澄清。如果你再次查看你的信息，并注意到它可能有点不清楚，这是没有关系的——这种情况发生了!)可知，再次查看信息可能会发现一些被误读的东西，与G项“You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.(可能会感到宽慰，当你发现了一些容易被误读的东西)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选G项。 5．根据下句“Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind.(把它放在你看不到的地方，让你的内心平静下来)”以及后文“Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.(不要让它困扰或迷惑你。如果你不去想任何通知，你就能头脑风暴出新的打发时间的方法)”可知，本段主题是把手机放到一边，眼不见，心不烦。与其纠结为什么会被“已读不回”，不如放下手机，做些更有意义的事。所以A项“Put your phone away.(把手机收起来)”起到概括作用，符合文意。故选A项。 Passage 2 （23-24高二上·广西·期中）When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 6 Here are four more. Ignore the context 7 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired. Find meaning in a single gesture People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 8 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable. Evaluate you through the biases (偏见) A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 9 Compare your behavior with their culture Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 10 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures. Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability. A．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life. B．They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias. C．What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior. D．In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language. E．What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another. F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones. G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature. 【答案】6．D 7．G 8．F 9．B 10．E 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。 介绍了人们可能会对别人的肢体语言产生误解的几种常见的情况及原因。 6．根据上文“When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood.(当你第一次和某人见面时，他不知道你会皱起眉头，如果你很专注，你会被误解。)”可知，此处通过具体的例子列举了人们很容易对他人的肢体语言产生误解，设空处应对该现象进行概括。D选项“In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.(事实上，人们很容易对他人的肢体语言做出错误的解读和反应。)”承接前文，符合语境。故选 D。 7．根据下文“Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings(根据上下文的不同，同样的非语言信号可以有完全不同的含义。)” 可知，此处强调的是，不同的背景会对肢体语言产生极大的影响即语言的语境或者背景的不同导致同样的肢体语言可能会有完全不同的含义。G 选项“Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.(语境包括地点、关系、时间、经历，甚至是室温。)”对“语境/背景”进行了解释，指出其包含的具体内容，G 选项中 context 对应下文中 context，形成呼应，符合语境。故选G。 8．根据上文“But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. (但他们会更注意任何一个表明你心情不好、不宜接近的信号。)”以及后一句“So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.(因此，当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时，别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的。)”可知，此处指出当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时，别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的，前文应该强调的是人们之所以会做出该判断的原因，故设空处和前文应该解释的是相关原因，即往往通过判断一个人的单一的肢体行动而判定该人的心情，人们往往赋予判定的负面信息以意义， 而不是正面信息，由此才会断定你是抗拒和不可接近的。F选项“Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.(此外，他们经常赋予负面信息以意义，而不是正面信息。)”引起下文，解释了他人断定你是不可抗拒和不可接近的原因，符合语境。故选 F。 9．根据上文“But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. (但偏见也可能对你不利。如果你让人们想起他们不喜欢的人呢？在这种情况下，他们最初对你的回应并不好。)”可知，此处强调的是“预先的偏见”对给他人留下印象产生的影响。此处指出的是一些不好的偏见会让他人对自己的最初印象不好。B选项“They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.(他们甚至会寻找你的行为来证实这种偏见。)”是对上文的进一步说明，指出，偏见不仅让他人对你的印象不好，他人还会在此基础上去寻找各种你的行为来印证这种偏见，符合语境。 故选B。 10．根据前文“Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others.(大多数文化价值观都是在很小的时候就被无意识地吸收了。这些价值观影响着人们的思维和行为，更重要的是，影响着人们评判他人的标准。)”可知，此处强调了无意识吸收的文化价值所产生的影响。E选项“What is right in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.(在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。)”指出在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的，符合语境，指出文化价值产生的影响即在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。故选E。 Passage 3 （21-22高二上·广东茂名·期中）With the pressure of life increasing, many people feel more and more depressed. 11 Here are some suggestions which may be helpful to you.           Keep optimistic. 12 Optimists have a 35% less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, are more likely to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, have stronger immune systems and even live longer.

It can even help us live longer.（它可以降低认知障碍的风险。它甚至可以帮助我们活得更久）”，顺承下文，F项Researches show volunteering can reduce stress and depression.（研究表明志愿活动可以减少压力和抑郁）切题。下文中的it指代的就是该项中的volunteering。该项中的reduce stress and depression与下文的reduce the risk of cognitive(认知)disorder保持一致。故选F。 14．根据上文提示“One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a journal.（让感恩成为你生活的一部分的最好方法之一就是写日记）”，承接上文，A项You can write down some positive experience in your diary.（你可以在日记里写下一些积极的经历）切题。该项中的in your diary与上文的keep a journal保持一致。写日记是最好的方法之一，所以要记下一些经历。故选A。 15．该空是小标题，应该用短小精悍的祈使句。再根据下文提示“与家庭、朋友和社区联系更紧密的人更快乐”，由此可知，B项Strengthen social connections.（加强社会联系）切题。该项中的形容词social与下文中的副词socially相吻合；名词connections与动词connected吻合。故选B。 Passage 4 （2022·浙江·高考真题）I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but I have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed. 16 Pick the most important. 17 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive. I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies, but don't want the life of a big company CEO. My choices are based on the lifestyle I want. Combine your activities. Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc. 18 Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner. Build your social life around people in your work environment. Find people in your company who share common interests and develop your career (职业) around the people and activities you love. 19 You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important.

(你可能会认为学习需要花费了你更多的时间，但实际上总有一些新的方法可以为你节省出做日常事务的时间，为你腾出时间去做最重要的事情。寻找在这里或者那里赢回一个小时的新方法)”可推断，本段讲述学习虽然花费很多时间，但总是能有一些方法为你节省时间做其他事情，因此要做有效的学习者。因此推断B项“做有效的学习者”为段落标题，故选B。 20．下文“Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way.( 每一次的完成都是一个小的胜利，累积起来就是一个大的胜利)”说明事情要一件一件去做，G项中的“making lists”与之呼应，因此推断G项“这就是为什么列清单在任何生产手册中都很重要的原因”符合语境，this指代上文“The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence.( 在大多数情况下，世界不会因为你没做完几件事而走向末日。庆祝进步，不断改进走向一个快乐而富有成效的存在)”解释了列出清单一件一件完成任务的原因。故选G。 Passage 5 （2014·北京·高考真题）Evaluating Sources of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 21 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 22 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ＂contributes to＂ or is ＂associated with＂ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 23 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 24 Evaluate ＂scientific＂ statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术). 25 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life. A．Make choices that are right for you. B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C．Be sure to work through the critical questions. D．And examine the findings of the original research. E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view. G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources. 【答案】21．G 22．D 23．F 24．B 25．A 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章针对如何对来自各种渠道的健康信息进行分类整理和判断给出了一些建议。 21．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。第一段简要提出我们要学会分析来自各种渠道的健康信息，下文接着就如何对这些信息进行分类整理给予一些建议。G项连接前后，故选G。 22．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据该段主题句的第一句Go to the original source.(去探寻最初的来源。)可知，本段都是围绕这个话题展开的，D项中的the original research与主题句相照应，符合本段意思。故选D。 23．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。F项与第三段的主题句Watch for misleading language.相关，其中incorrectly explained与misleading相照应。故选F。 24．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由空格前的Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.(对广告中所包含的信息一定要特别当心)及该段中的be aware of quackery (警惕江湖骗术)可知，B项(广告的目的是卖出商品)符合该段语境。为了达到这个目的，商品的广告中可能包含虚假信息。故选B。 25．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由该段中but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us可知，尽管我们有来自家人及朋友的大量信息，但归根结底还是要依靠我们自己来作出正确的选择。A项概括全段内容，故选A。 题型2 记叙文 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期中）When my school offered the opportunity to take part in a School Challenge, I didn’t hesitate to sign up for the initial meeting. 1 We decided to plan a three-week adventure in Romania. Of course, it was not a case of simply signing up and paying the money. 2 We arranged a variety of events for the purpose. We had decided to go to a remote rural village and to work with a team of local people to improve the school buildings. We had been warned that our trip would not be a holiday and that things would not always go to plan. We certainly experienced the difficulties during the trip. 3 This meant that they were too weak to continue walking and we were not able to travel as far as we had intended. In fact, one of the team quit the journey. 4 I never got tired of watching the sun rise every morning over the pine forests. Feeding the bears in the sanctuary was also incredible. I would never have imagined that these powerful creatures could be so gentle and calm. My best memory, though, was working on the school building project. I will never forget the hospitality and kindness of the villagers. They cooked us amazing meals and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and welcome. My School Challenge trip influenced my life in so many ways. It gave me a taste for independence and adventure, and certainly made me want to travel more. 5 Not having television, internet and hot running water for three weeks was certainly a challenge, but in many ways enjoyed living a simpler life for a short time. A．This had to be raised by us to fund the trip. B．Despite the obstacles, it was a truly amazing trip. C．Above all though, it has made me realise how easy my life is. D．It was much more challenging than I thought it would be at times. E．This was where we met other team members and chose our destination. F．However, we wouldn’t be spending any time there until the end of the trip. G．For example, a few people became ill because we were so high up in the mountains. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．G 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加学校挑战活动的经历，这次经历对作者的生活产生了很大的影响，让他更加渴望旅行和探索未知的世界。 1．根据上文“When my school offered the opportunity to take part in a School Challenge, I didn’t hesitate to sign up for the initial meeting.（当学校提供参加学校挑战的机会时，我毫不犹豫地报名参加了初次会议。）”可知，初次会议是团队成员见面和选择目的地的地方。因此，选项E“This was where we met other team members and chose our destination.（这是我们见面，选择目的地的地方。）”符合语境。故选E。 2．根据上文“Of course, it was not a case of simply signing up and paying the money.（当然，不仅仅是报名和付钱那么简单。）”可知，接下来应该提到需要筹集资金。因此，选项A“This had to be raised by us to fund the trip.（我们必须筹集资金来资助这次旅行。）”符合语境。故选A。 3．根据上文“We certainly experienced the difficulties during the trip.（我们确实在旅途中遇到了困难。）”可知，接下来应该具体说明遇到的困难。因此，选项G “For example, a few people became ill because we were so high up in the mountains.（例如，一些人因为我们在山上很高而生病。）”符合语境。故选G。 4．根据上文“We had been warned that our trip would not be a holiday and that things would not always go to plan.（我们被警告过，我们的旅行不会是假期，事情不会总是按计划进行。）”和下文“I never got tired of watching the sun rise every morning over the pine forests.（我从未厌倦过每天早晨看着太阳从松树林上升起。）”可知，尽管有困难，但作者认为这是一次非常惊人的旅行。因此，选项B“Despite the obstacles, it was a truly amazing trip.（尽管有障碍，但这确实是一次非常惊人的旅行。）”符合语境。故选B。 5．根据上文“My School Challenge trip influenced my life in so many ways.（我的学校挑战之旅在很多方面影响了我的生活。）”和下文“Not having television, internet and hot running water for three weeks was certainly a challenge, but in many ways enjoyed living a simpler life for a short time.（三周没有电视、互联网和热水肯定是一个挑战，但以许多方式享受短时间的简单生活。）”可知，这次旅行让作者意识到自己的生活是多么的轻松。因此，选项C“Above all though, it has made me realise how easy my life is.（不过，最重要的是，它让我意识到我的生活是多么轻松。）”符合语境。故选C。 Passage 2 （22-23高二上·安徽·期中）There’s that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. 6 , it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music. I recently went to a concert with some other musicians in town (many of whom I was meeting for the first time). 7 , I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing. 8 . And I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music. Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, we didn’t consider how to show ourselves off. 9 . I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common; which is to see past their own values, and to listen to/connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I’ve realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more compassionate and caring person. So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me how to be a more caring person. 10 , but also through my music, and to those who listen. A．When I used to connect with other musicians B．Therefore, as you become more kind and sympathetic C．Because of this, our music was better than ever before D．There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts E．I often find music moves me to be open and connect with others F．There are languages that are universal, music and kindness are two of those languages G．As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can bring joy to not only those in my daily life 【答案】6．B 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．G 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们，我们可以把自己的爱心和同情心投入到我们做的事业中。 6．前文提到“How you do one thing is how you do everything.”（你做一件事的感受就是你做所有事的感受），以及后文提到“it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music”（它体现在你做的每件事上，甚至在演奏音乐的时候）由此判断，前句应该是一个从句，可以表达为：当你富有善心和同情心，它会体现在你所做的事情上。B项“Therefore, as you become more kind and sympathetic”（因此，当你变得更加善良和富有同情心时）该项符合文意。故选B。 7．前文提到“I recently went to a concert with some other musicians in town”（我最近和城里的其他音乐家一起去听了一场音乐会），且从空后的“This time though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.”（但这一次，我发现自己更专注了，能够在演奏中更多地支持其他音乐家。）可知，此空讲述以前与其他音乐家合作的事情。A项“When I used to connect with other musicians”（当我和和其他音乐家交流的时候），该项符合文意。故选A。 8．后文提到“And I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too”（我能感觉到观众也更喜欢音乐了），此空讲述这次音乐会的效果。C项“Because of this, our music was better than ever before”（正因为如此，我们的音乐比以往任何时候都好），该项符合文意。故选C。 9．前文提到“we didn’t consider how to show ourselves off”（我们没有考虑过如何炫耀自己），由此判断，大家不是在炫耀自己，下一句应该表现我们的真实目的。D项“There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts”（只有我们敞开心扉分享彼此），该项符合文意。故选D。 10．前文提到“So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me how to be a more caring person. ”（所以，我要感谢这个网站上的每一个人，感谢你们敞开心扉，告诉我如何成为一个更有爱心的人。），作者成为了一个更有爱心的人，且从空后的“but also through my music, and to those who listen.”（但也通过我的音乐，对那些听我音乐的人。）可知，作者也把自己的爱心通过音乐送给那些听他音乐的人，同时此句使用了not only…but also（不仅……而且）结构。G项“As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can bring joy to not only those in my daily life”（随着我成长为一个更加善良和有爱心的人，我不仅可以在日常生活中给别人带来快乐），该项符合文意。故选G。 Passage 3 （21-22高二上·河北衡水·期中）I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested. 11 I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vernont. At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. 12 When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vermont. A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix. 13 And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. Most of our hikes only last 2 hours. Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path 14 But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone. 15 It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life. A．I've fallen in love with climbing mountains. B．I carried a small backpack with water and snacks. C．If you can climb a mountain, you can do anything. D．I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked. E．It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories. F．And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail. G．Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail. 【答案】11．D 12．B 13．G 14．F 15．E 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者直到35岁左右才开始第一次远足而后喜欢上爬山的经历。作者认为这种锻炼方式提供了一个让生活慢下来、脱离尘世的机会。 【详解】根据上文“I just wasn't interested.(我只是不感兴趣)”可知，作者对徒步旅行不感兴趣。D项“I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked.(我看不见徒步的价值，所以当被问到的时候我总是摇头。)”与前句意思符合。故选D项。 根据上文“At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. (在妻子的催促下，我们带着两个年幼的孩子，在一个凉爽的8月的早晨走在一条美丽的森林小径上。) ”可知，本段讲述的是作者第一次的徒步经历，叙述了这个过程以及“我”在其中做了什么。B项“I carried a small backpack with water and snacks.(我背了个小背包，里面装了水和零食。)”讲述的是徒步前“我”的准备工作，故选B项。 根据上文“A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix.(几周前，我和11岁的儿子、61岁的爸爸一起去凤凰城的骆驼贝克山远足。)”本段继续讲述作者的几次徒步经历，所以句与句之间是并列关系。列举作者的徒步经历。G项“Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail.(上周末，我和我的儿子沿着南凯巴布步道沿着大峡谷徒步旅行。)”符合文意，故选G项。 根据上文“Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path. (现在，澄清一下，我绝不会把自己归为远足专家。 我喜欢空旷小路上的宁静。)  ”可知，作者认为他不是一个专业级别的徒步者，他只是喜欢山间小路的宁静祥和，没打算要去攀爬乞力马扎罗山。F项“And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail.(我也不打算去爬乞力马扎罗山，也不打算去阿巴拉契亚山道。)”符合文意，故选F项。 根据后文“It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. (它提供了一个放慢脚步、脱离现实的机会。)”可知，最后一段综述徒步的好处。E项“It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories.(只有健康的体育锻炼才能创造美好的回忆。)”符合文意，故选E项。 Passage 4 （2020·浙江·高考真题）I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 16 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself. A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 17 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 18 My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 19 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me. 20 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today. A．I wasn't alone any longer. B．I enjoyed reading stories aloud. C．I was invited to play with another kid. D．I loved the colorful photographs in the books. E．Another habit I formed early was being outdoors. F．Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things. G．My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me. 【答案】16．G 17．D 18．A 19．F 20．E 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者养成几个生活习惯的原因。 16．设空在段中，应是承前启后句。根据后文“His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine”可知，设空句应提及“his”的身份，即G项中的“My elder brother”，且G项“我哥哥懒得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。故选G项。 17．根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知，D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D项。 18．根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知，A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。故选A项。 19．根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，F项“于是，我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系，我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。F项切题。故选F项。 20．根据后句“无论天气或季节，我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知，E项“我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外”和前句表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选E项。 Passage 5 （2017·全国I卷·高考真题）If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 21 The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 22 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 23 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. 24 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. 25 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A．This time there was no tent. B．Things are going to be improved. C．The trip they took me on was a rough one. D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．A 24．F 25．E 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己近三年来逐渐改变了对野营的看法，从以前对野营活动嗤之以鼻，经过几次野营后慢慢喜欢上了野营，最后表达野营将逐渐成为人类回归自然的很好方式，建议人们找到属于自己的方式。 21．上文 They had nothing in common with me 说明作者原来认为他不会成为野营者．而下文主要描述的是"我"从最开始进行"rough travel"到有了"pop-up camper"再到有了 trailer 的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系．D项意为"然而在那之后我将会学到关于野营的很多知识"，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为D。 22．由下文 We sleep in a tent，cooked over an open fire，and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom 可知，"我"的野营条件非常艰苦．C项意为"他们带我去的旅途非常艰苦"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为C。 23．由下文 Instead，we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner 可知，空格处是与下文形成转折的内容，而"我"此次旅行用了展开式营房．A项意为"这一次没有帐篷"，与下文形成转折，符合语境．故正确答案为A。 24．由第三段第一句 going on another fun-filled holiday 可知，"我"对这次旅行非常满意，而由下文 We have done a lot of it since 可知，"我们"都爱上了野营．F项意为"从这里旅行后，我全家都对野营产生了巨大的兴趣"，承上启下，符合语境．故正确答案为F。 25．由下文 sooner or later，everyone finds his or her way back to nature 可知，"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然，也就是野营的个性化选择．形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营．E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为E。 题型3 议论文 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）Fragile. Oversensitive. Glued to their phones. 1 While there may be some truth to these stereotypical (刻板印象的) features, there might be more to this generation of teens than what is generally observed. Never before have the lives of any generation of teens been as flooded with mobile technology and social media as the teens of this generation. 2 This is in contrast to the more village spirit or community-oriented attitude of their parents’ and grandparents’ days. We have teens who may not know about who lives in the unit next to theirs, much less offer a friendly nod or wave when they happen to cross paths with a neighbour. 3 Arguably, the very connectedness that social media brings about has led to an opening of minds and a flourishing (繁盛) of dialogue among people of diverse cultures and backgrounds. Logging onto platforms where people of all walks of life meet means that one is exposed to those people and their distinctive ways of life. In comparison, the parents or grandparents of this generation of teens probably did not have the same opportunity to get to know people outside of their social circles at their age, and are thus more likely to have fixed, stereotypical opinions of people different from them. This generation of teens, on the other hand, has the chance to use this technology to learn more about and attempt to understand the variety and diversity out there. 4 To conclude, the teens of this generation differ in many ways from their predecessors (前辈), in some ways more positive than others. 5 Therefore, this generation of teens differs from past generations, with the changes around them. A．No wonder the self-confidence and mental health of teens have been damaged. B．Yet, the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad. C．Is this what comes to mind when we think of the teens of this generation? D．Their parents or grandparents were likely less connected and more isolated. E．Moreover, in the older generations’ mind, the teens today are more individualistic. F．As a result, this might be why the teens today are more open-minded and progressive. G．Every generation is a product of the cultural, political and economic events of their time. 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．B 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章认为这一代在移动技术和社交媒体环境下成长的年轻人受到了社交媒体的负面影响，自尊和心理健康受到打击，更为个人主义，但是也获得了积极的影响，变得更有见识，更加开明。 1．空前“Fragile. Oversensitive. Glued to their phones. (脆弱的。过于敏感。盯着手机不放)”是一些对当代青少年的普遍印象，C选项“Is this what comes to mind when we think of the teens of this generation? (当我们想到这一代的青少年时，我们会想到这一点吗)”是对前文的提问，代词this指代前文内容。空后“While there may be some truth to these stereotypical (刻板印象的) features, there might be more to this generation of teens than what is generally observed. (虽然这些刻板的特征可能有一定的道理，但这一代青少年可能比一般观察到的要多得多)”对空格提问进行了回答。故选C。 2．空后“This is in contrast to the more village spirit or community-oriented attitude of their parents’ and grandparents’ days. (这与他们父母和祖父母时代的乡村精神或社区导向的态度形成鲜明对比)”强调父母或祖父母那代人注重社区邻里关系，代词This说明空格内容与后文形成对比，E选项“Moreover, in the older generations’ mind, the teens today are more individualistic. (此外，在老一辈的心目中，如今的青少年更加个人主义)”描述当代青少年更个人主义，“individualistic”和后文的“ community-oriented”形成对比。故选E。 3．空后“Arguably, the very connectedness that social media brings about has led to an opening of minds and a flourishing (繁盛) of dialogue among people of diverse cultures and backgrounds. (可以说，正是社交媒体带来的连通性导致了不同文化和背景的人们之间思想的开放和对话的繁荣) ”描述了社交媒体的好处，B选项“Yet, the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad. (然而，科技对这一代青少年的影响并不全是坏事)”也在强调好处，承接后文。故选B。 4．空前“This generation of teens, on the other hand, has the chance to use this technology to learn more about and attempt to understand the variety and diversity out there. (另一方面，这一代青少年有机会利用这项技术来了解和尝试了解那里的多样性和多样性)”描述了当代青少年通过这项技术学到的内容，正面表述，F选项“As a result, this might be why the teens today are more open-minded and progressive. (因此，这可能就是为什么今天的青少年更加开明和进步的原因)”也是正面表述，描述了青少年在技术中学到的内容是自己更加开明和进步的原因。故选F。 5．空后“Therefore, this generation of teens differs from past generations, with the changes around them. (因此，随着周围环境的变化，这一代青少年与过去几代人不同)”是总结性语言，指出青少年或过去几代人不同，G选项“Every generation is a product of the cultural, political and economic events of their time. (每一代人都是他们那个时代文化、政治和经济事件的产物)”指出了不同的原因，与空后构成因果关系。故选G。 Passage 2 （21-22高二上·新疆喀什·期中）Living with Joy Living with joy can sometimes be a challenge. When things appear to be going against our will, we tend to experience pain, suffering, or a bad day. 6 And instead of viewing bad things as causes of getting upset, try to view them as lessons of helping you grow. Too many times, we think that the outer world is creating our day, causing us to be sad or unhappy. 7 We create our day, the circumstances for joyous living.    8 This internal happiness spreads outward through every cell of our bodies and creates the outer experience of a smile, or laugh. Then we can see and choose our feelings, desires, goals and dreams. 9 We create the reality where we experience joy, anger, love, and fear. Because we have the free will to choose our reality, we can make that conscious choice happier. 10 The reason is that we have to have the internal feeling of happiness to create that happiness in our daily lives then. So, start changing your negatives into positives, gain clarity(清晰), and open your heart by looking inside yourself. When we start changing ourselves from inside out, the universe will respond to us. A．Thus these situations will disappear. B．However, it’s the opposite that is true. C．Besides, we’re in control of our feelings. D．In order to be happy, we need “be happy” inside. E．These further enable us to show an outer reality based on our true selves. F．This happiness though will never come if you are looking outside of yourself first. G．One thing that we all need to acquire is the ability to see all situations, people and events from a positive perspective. 【答案】6．G 7．B 8．D 9．E 10．F 【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要讲述了如何快乐地生活提出了一些建议。 6．由上文空后“And instead of viewing bad things as causes of getting upset, try to view them as lessons of helping you grow. ”(而不是让坏的事情影响到心情，试着把它们当做是帮助你成长的一节课。)可知，是积极的看待这些不好的事情。G项“One thing that we all need to acquire is the ability to see all situations, people and events from a positive perspective.”(我们都需要学得的一件事情就是以积极的视角看待所有的情况，人和事情的能力。)与下文意思一致，故选G项。 7．由上文空前“Too many times, we think that the outer world is creating our day, causing us to be sad or unhappy.”(多数时候，我们认为我们的情绪受外界控制，导致我们难过或者悲伤。)以及空后“We create our day, the circumstances for joyous living. ”(我们创造我们的一天，创造快乐生活的环境。)可知，我们并非受外界影响，而是我们的内在世界影响外部。B项“However, it’s the opposite that is true.”(然而，事实恰恰相反。)起到了衔接的作用，故选B项。 8．由上文“This internal happiness spreads outward through every cell of our bodies and creates the outer experience of a smile, or laugh.”(这种内在的快乐通过我们身体的每一个细胞向外传播，并创造出微笑或大笑的外在体验。)可知，D项“In order to be happy, we need “be happy” inside.”(为了快乐，我们需要内心“快乐”。)中的“we need “be happy” inside”与下文的“internal happiness”相照应，故选D项。 9．由上文“Then we can see and choose our feelings, desires, goals and dreams.”(然后我们可以看到并选择我们的感受、欲望、目标和梦想。)可知，这些感受，欲望，目标和梦想是我们的选择，E项“These further enable us to show an outer reality based on our true selves.”(这些进一步使我们能够展示基于我们真实自我的外部现实。) these与our feelings, desires, goals and dreams相对应，故选E项。 10．由下文“The reason is that we have to have the internal feeling of happiness to create that happiness in our daily lives then.”(原因是我们必须有内在的幸福感，才能在日常生活中创造幸福。)可知，自己内在幸福，才能创造幸福。F选项“This happiness though will never come if you are looking outside of yourself first.”(但是，如果您关注自己的外在，这种幸福将永远不会到来。)承接上文，故选F项。 Passage 3 （2022·福建漳州·二模）People say water can improve health and memory. But now some experts say that to think drinking water equals health is taking things too far and that hydration(水合作用）is about the balance between electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and the water in your body. Then. how much water do you need to drink? Many say you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Not so, some experts say. 11 A 200-pound person who hikes 10 miles in the heat needs more water than a 120-pound office manager in a temperature-controlled building. 12 Someone with a heart condition or kidney stones has one level of need. A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药）may need a different amount of water.You may need to change the amount you are drinking if you lave been ill with vomiting or diarrhea. Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices. 13 One popular idea is that caffeine or alcohol will make your body lose much water. But one study showed the effect is not significant.You also get water from what you eat. Fruits, vegetables, and soups all add to the intake of water. Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough. You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink. 14 Electrolytes are essential minerals. 15 Some sports drinks ads say you need to add electrolytes to stay healthy. But some experts say that your body produces electrolytes. You may need more water if you exercise a lot during the heat of the day. Otherwise, most people get enough electrolytes from food. A．Just drink then you are thirsty. B．They are vital to many functions in the body C．It gives you more energy and makes you look good. D．Instead, your body and the activities you attend matter. E．It is also necessary to set a timetable about when to drink water. F．The amount of water you need in a day also depends on your health. G．But when it comes to hydration, any drink can add water to your system. 【答案】11．D 12．F 13．G 14．A 15．B 【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。 11．根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。 12．从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。 13．根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。 14．根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号，所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了，不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足，A项符合，故选A项。 15．根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。 Passage 4 （23-24高二上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）A Great Way to Teach Children to Take Responsibility As parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older. 16 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 17 18 . For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make  sure  the  children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry. Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 19 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time. Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be. Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 20 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society. A．A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family. B．And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done. C．Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future. D．Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves. E．Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters. F．Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up. G．And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done. 【答案】16．D 17．A 18．E 19．G 20．C 【分析】这是一篇议论文。通过实例说明父母应该如何教孩子承担责任。 16．根据段落行文的规律，第一段往往是总说。而到第二段开始就是分说了。既然第一段已经总起这篇文章，那么第二段开始的地方就应该是描述如何承担责任的第一个环节。再根据这段后面的内容：如果你的孩子在画画之后将蜡笔留在桌上，那么收拾这些蜡笔就不是琐事，而是收拾打扫他们所造成的乱糟糟的环境。那么这段刚开始就应该说明这些内容的总起：以什么样的方式开始教孩子承担责任呢？选项D内容：Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves. 事后通过教孩子区分琐事和清洁之间的区别开始。这一选项切合题意。故选D。 17．根据空格前面的内容：如果你的孩子在画画之后将蜡笔留在桌上，那么收拾这些蜡笔就不是琐事，而是收拾打扫他们所造成的乱糟糟的环境。那么接下来就应当讲述一下什么是琐事这个定义。因此A选项：A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family.琐事就是一项特别的任务，小孩子得到的任务是帮助提升整个家庭的生活质量而付出的努力。此项切合题意，故选A。 18．根据空格后面的描述：如果是每天喂狗的话，要确保孩子懂得如果他们哪天没有履行职责的话，狗会挨饿。这件事情的描述告诉我们一定要告诉孩子每一件事情的重要性以及这件事为什么重要。而E选项：Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters.教会孩子每件任务的重要性以及为什么重要。此项切合题意，故选E。 19．根据上下文得知此段的核心和关键词是讲回报和惩罚。空格前面两句话可以推出如下结果：让回报和惩罚成为每日功课的一部分。和孩子一起决定他们是否应该得到奖励，如果是的……，有些父母亲……根据此推定，选项G最切合题意：And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done. 如果是的话，对于做的好的工作应该得到什么奖励。故选G。 20．空格前的句子告诉我们教孩子为家庭做贡献非常重要。空格后句子告诉我们通过采取这个步骤，你已经为你的孩子做了一件很精彩的事情，那就是为你的孩子形成了走向社会的生活技能。这个生活技能在这里指的是父母亲在培养孩子承担责任的同时收获了的技能，可以在社会上立足的技能。这个与孩子的未来生活密切相关，而选项C：Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future.事实上你正采取的是关键的一步，帮助孩子为他们的将来赋能。为他们的将来赋能不就是培养孩子的责任感让他们在将来走向社会时可以立足吗？由此可以推出答案为C选项。故选C。 Passage 5 （22-23高二上·河北邯郸·期中）Writing an essay can be a difficult task, but it can also be fun. Essay writing provides students with a chance to be creative. When someone chooses to create a persuasive essay, there are quite a few ways to express oneself. 21 Or, will I instead choose to use a serious method in my writing? 22 When doing research for an essay, the student has the chance to become an expert on his or her topic.

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 【导语】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。 Passage 2 （21-22高二·重庆·期中）People set goals for their lives. Perhaps you want to lose weight, learn a new skill or read 30 books a year. But then you get busy and your daily life takes up all of your time. Before you know it, weeks, then months have gone by and you are no closer to your goal. 6 1. Make a specific plan Adding details to your plan helps you act better. Be sure to add when and where. If your goal is to work out five days each week, a plan like “I’ll work out on weekdays” would be too vague. But a detailed plan like “I’ll exercise at the gym on weekdays during my lunch break” would fit the bill. 7 For example, if you plan to work out during lunch, you’ll be sure to refuse a lunch invitation from others. 2. Consider punishment This may sound difficult, but ensuring you’ll face some punishment if you don’t achieve your goal can work wonders. One easy way to do this is to tell a few people about your goal. You’ll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven’t followed through. Feeling ashamed is a kind of spiritual punishment. You can also make a bet with a friend that you’ll stick to your goal. 8 3. Make it fun Most of us concentrate on the final result when it comes to achieving our goals. 9 Are you enjoying the process of pursuing you goal? If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you’re unlikely to keep at it. But if you get pleasure from your works or study sessions, you’ll persist longer. It’s the pursuit of your goals-not the reaching of them-that makes up the weeks, days and hours of our lives. So make sure to have fun along the way! 4. Get a little help from your friends Spending time around high achievers can boost your own performance. If your aim is to run a marathon or write a book, you’d be wise to start hanging around friends who’ve made it to the finish line and can show you how it’s done. You’ll learn a lot just by spending time together with these friends. 10 Giving someone else tips on how to achieve boosts your self-confidence and motivates you to achieve success. A．There is evidence that cash punishment motivates success. B．It can also help you avoid interruptions. C．Coaching friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too. D．Who could you turn to for help? E．If you want to stick to it, try the following strategies. F．But focusing too much on it can make us ignore an even more important thing. G．Friends are well aware of your strengths and weaknesses. 【答案】6．E 7．B 8．A 9．F 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了实现目标的策略。 6．上文“People set goals for their lives. Perhaps you want to lose weight, learn a new skill or read 30 books a year. But then you get busy and your daily life takes up all of your time. Before you know it, weeks, then months have gone by and you are no closer to your goal. (人们为自己的生活设定目标。也许你想减肥，学一项新技能，或者一年读30本书。但是当你变得忙碌，你的日常生活占据了你所有的时间。不知不觉中，几周，几个月过去了，你离你的目标还是很远)”提出问题：我们设定目标却无法实现，下文“1. Make a specific plan”、“2. Consider punishment”、“3. Make it fun”、“4. Get a little help from your friends”给出4个策略，E项“If you want to stick to it, try the following strategies.(如果你想坚持下去，试试下面的策略)”承上启下，引出下文策略。上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 7．上文“But a detailed plan like “I’ll exercise at the gym on weekdays during my lunch break” would fit the bill. (但一个详细的计划，比如“我将在工作日的午休时间去健身房锻炼”，就符合要求了)”讲制定详细计划的重要性， B项“It can also help you avoid interruptions.(它还可以帮助你避免被打扰)”承接上文，说明制定详细计划的好处，下文“For example, if you plan to work out during lunch, you’ll be sure to refuse a lunch invitation from others.(例如，如果你计划在午餐时间锻炼，你肯定会拒绝别人的午餐邀请)”举例说明具体好处。故选B项。 8．上文“You can also make a bet with a friend that you’ll stick to your goal. (你也可以和朋友打赌，你会坚持你的目标)”讲与朋友打赌，A项“There is evidence that cash punishment motivates success.(有证据表明，现金惩罚能激发成功)”承接上文，说明打赌、惩罚的作用，照应小标题“Consider punishment”。故选A项。 9．上文“Most of us concentrate on the final result when it comes to achieving our goals. (当谈到实现我们的目标时，我们大多数人都专注于最终结果)”讲我们过于专注结果，下文“Are you enjoying the process of pursuing you goal? If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you’re unlikely to keep at it. But if you get pleasure from your works or study sessions, you’ll persist longer. It’s the pursuit of your goals-not the reaching of them-that makes up the weeks, days and hours of our lives. So make sure to have fun along the way!(你享受追求目标的过程吗?如果运动或学习没有乐趣，你就不可能坚持下去。但如果你从工作或学习中得到乐趣，你就会坚持得更久。追求目标——而不是达到目标——构成了我们生命中的每一个星期、每一天、每一个小时。所以一定要在这个过程中玩得开心!)”讲过程中的乐趣更重要，F项“But focusing too much on it can make us ignore an even more important thing.(但过于关注它会让我们忽略更重要的事情)”承上启下，说明过于专注结果会忽略过程中的乐趣。故选F项。 10．下文“Giving someone else tips on how to achieve boosts your self-confidence and motivates you to achieve success.(给别人一些关于如何取得成功的建议可以增强你的自信，激励你取得成功)”提出帮助别人可以提升自己，C项“Coaching friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too.(指导有共同目标的朋友也可以提高你的成功率)”表达了同样的意思，句中“Coaching friends”与下文“Giving someone else tips”相照应。故选C项。 Passage 3 （2022·浙江温州·三模）If you’re a teenager, you are in a very powerful position.

What are you waiting for? Go be amazing! ● 22 In this day and age where everything is sent via email, Facebook, WhatsApp and Snapchat, it’s a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive effect. ● Volunteer 23 Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is awesome. There are so many opportunities, so you are sure to find one that is right for you. And it doesn’t necessarily have to take up all your time — it could be once a week or a couple of times a year. ● Make something for a special person Whether you’re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you’re not creative, the receiver will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. 24 ● Tell someone ‘I love you’ You can say it to anyone — your mum or dad, grandparents, family member, friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. 25 Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that you love her.

What’s the deal? While being left on read (已读不回) can be confusing, it’s also pretty common. 1 Here are a few tips. Expect the best. Remind yourself that the person is probably just busy. Ask yourself if you actually know their schedule. There could be some time commitments you aren’t aware of. Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response. 2 They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. Resist the temptation (诱惑) to double-text. 3 If you send a lot of follow-up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience. Read over your previous messages. See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! 4 5 Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind. Don’t let it upset or confuse you.

Passage 2 （23-24高二上·广西·期中）When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 6 Here are four more. Ignore the context 7 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired. Find meaning in a single gesture People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 8 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable. Evaluate you through the biases (偏见) A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 9 Compare your behavior with their culture Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 10 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures. Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability. A．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life. B．They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias. C．What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior. D．In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language. E．What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another. F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones. G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature. Passage 3 （21-22高二上·广东茂名·期中）With the pressure of life increasing, many people feel more and more depressed. 11 Here are some suggestions which may be helpful to you.           Keep optimistic. 12 Optimists have a 35% less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, are more likely to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, have stronger immune systems and even live longer. If you face a challenge or obstacle, you’re more likely to see it as a temporary or even optimistic thing, allowing you to learn and grow. Begin volunteering. 13 It can reduce the risk of cognitive(认知)disorder. It can even help us live longer. Even if you have a little time to offer, just the act of giving has been shown to improve your health, possibly by temporarily reducing your sense of pain. Be grateful. Counting our blessing protects us against anxiety and depression and boots optimism. One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a journal. 14 Keeping gratitude and recording your good deeds may help you live happily. 15 People who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are happier. They’re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less connected. High-conflict marriages, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for health, perhaps worse than getting divorced. Instead, living in a good relationships if beneficial to health. A．You can write down some positive experience in your diary. B．Strengthen social connections. C．Eat healthily and happily. D．You'll have no time to volunteer and give thanks in your life E．Looking on the bright side of life is really good for you. F．Researches show volunteering can reduce stress and depression. G．How can we solve the problem and live a happy life? Passage 4 （2022·浙江·高考真题）I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but I have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed. 16 Pick the most important. 17 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive. I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies, but don't want the life of a big company CEO. My choices are based on the lifestyle I want. Combine your activities. Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc. 18 Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner. Build your social life around people in your work environment. Find people in your company who share common interests and develop your career (职业) around the people and activities you love. 19 You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. Lighten up. The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence. 20 Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way. A．Speed up. B．Be an active learner. C．Stop trying to balance time between them all. D．Make choices about what is meaningful in your life. E．The things you do well usually give you greater joy.

Passage 5 （2014·北京·高考真题）Evaluating Sources of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 21 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 22 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ＂contributes to＂ or is ＂associated with＂ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 23 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 24 Evaluate ＂scientific＂ statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术). 25 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life. A．Make choices that are right for you. B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C．Be sure to work through the critical questions. D．And examine the findings of the original research. E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view. G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources. 题型2 记叙文 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·广东深圳·期中）When my school offered the opportunity to take part in a School Challenge, I didn’t hesitate to sign up for the initial meeting. 1 We decided to plan a three-week adventure in Romania. Of course, it was not a case of simply signing up and paying the money. 2 We arranged a variety of events for the purpose. We had decided to go to a remote rural village and to work with a team of local people to improve the school buildings. We had been warned that our trip would not be a holiday and that things would not always go to plan. We certainly experienced the difficulties during the trip. 3 This meant that they were too weak to continue walking and we were not able to travel as far as we had intended. In fact, one of the team quit the journey. 4 I never got tired of watching the sun rise every morning over the pine forests. Feeding the bears in the sanctuary was also incredible. I would never have imagined that these powerful creatures could be so gentle and calm. My best memory, though, was working on the school building project. I will never forget the hospitality and kindness of the villagers. They cooked us amazing meals and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and welcome. My School Challenge trip influenced my life in so many ways. It gave me a taste for independence and adventure, and certainly made me want to travel more. 5 Not having television, internet and hot running water for three weeks was certainly a challenge, but in many ways enjoyed living a simpler life for a short time. A．This had to be raised by us to fund the trip. B．Despite the obstacles, it was a truly amazing trip. C．Above all though, it has made me realise how easy my life is. D．It was much more challenging than I thought it would be at times. E．This was where we met other team members and chose our destination. F．However, we wouldn’t be spending any time there until the end of the trip. G．For example, a few people became ill because we were so high up in the mountains. Passage 2 （22-23高二上·安徽·期中）There’s that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. 6 , it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music. I recently went to a concert with some other musicians in town (many of whom I was meeting for the first time). 7 , I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing. 8 . And I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music. Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, we didn’t consider how to show ourselves off. 9 . I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common; which is to see past their own values, and to listen to/connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I’ve realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more compassionate and caring person. So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me how to be a more caring person. 10 , but also through my music, and to those who listen. A．When I used to connect with other musicians B．Therefore, as you become more kind and sympathetic C．Because of this, our music was better than ever before D．There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts E．I often find music moves me to be open and connect with others F．There are languages that are universal, music and kindness are two of those languages G．As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can bring joy to not only those in my daily life Passage 3 （21-22高二上·河北衡水·期中）I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested. 11 I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vernont. At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. 12 When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vermont. A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix. 13 And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. Most of our hikes only last 2 hours. Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path 14 But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone. 15 It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life. A．I've fallen in love with climbing mountains. B．I carried a small backpack with water and snacks. C．If you can climb a mountain, you can do anything. D．I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked. E．It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories. F．And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail. G．Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail. Passage 4 （2020·浙江·高考真题）I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 16 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself. A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 17 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 18 My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 19 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me. 20 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today. A．I wasn't alone any longer. B．I enjoyed reading stories aloud. C．I was invited to play with another kid. D．I loved the colorful photographs in the books. E．Another habit I formed early was being outdoors. F．Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things. G．My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me. Passage 5 （2017·全国I卷·高考真题）If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 21 The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 22 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 23 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. 24 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. 25 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A．This time there was no tent. B．Things are going to be improved. C．The trip they took me on was a rough one. D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 题型3 议论文 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）Fragile. Oversensitive. Glued to their phones. 1 While there may be some truth to these stereotypical (刻板印象的) features, there might be more to this generation of teens than what is generally observed. Never before have the lives of any generation of teens been as flooded with mobile technology and social media as the teens of this generation. 2 This is in contrast to the more village spirit or community-oriented attitude of their parents’ and grandparents’ days. We have teens who may not know about who lives in the unit next to theirs, much less offer a friendly nod or wave when they happen to cross paths with a neighbour. 3 Arguably, the very connectedness that social media brings about has led to an opening of minds and a flourishing (繁盛) of dialogue among people of diverse cultures and backgrounds. Logging onto platforms where people of all walks of life meet means that one is exposed to those people and their distinctive ways of life. In comparison, the parents or grandparents of this generation of teens probably did not have the same opportunity to get to know people outside of their social circles at their age, and are thus more likely to have fixed, stereotypical opinions of people different from them. This generation of teens, on the other hand, has the chance to use this technology to learn more about and attempt to understand the variety and diversity out there. 4 To conclude, the teens of this generation differ in many ways from their predecessors (前辈), in some ways more positive than others. 5 Therefore, this generation of teens differs from past generations, with the changes around them. A．No wonder the self-confidence and mental health of teens have been damaged. B．Yet, the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad. C．Is this what comes to mind when we think of the teens of this generation? D．Their parents or grandparents were likely less connected and more isolated. E．Moreover, in the older generations’ mind, the teens today are more individualistic. F．As a result, this might be why the teens today are more open-minded and progressive. G．Every generation is a product of the cultural, political and economic events of their time. Passage 2 （21-22高二上·新疆喀什·期中）Living with Joy Living with joy can sometimes be a challenge. When things appear to be going against our will, we tend to experience pain, suffering, or a bad day. 6 And instead of viewing bad things as causes of getting upset, try to view them as lessons of helping you grow. Too many times, we think that the outer world is creating our day, causing us to be sad or unhappy. 7 We create our day, the circumstances for joyous living.    8 This internal happiness spreads outward through every cell of our bodies and creates the outer experience of a smile, or laugh. Then we can see and choose our feelings, desires, goals and dreams. 9 We create the reality where we experience joy, anger, love, and fear. Because we have the free will to choose our reality, we can make that conscious choice happier. 10 The reason is that we have to have the internal feeling of happiness to create that happiness in our daily lives then. So, start changing your negatives into positives, gain clarity(清晰), and open your heart by looking inside yourself. When we start changing ourselves from inside out, the universe will respond to us. A．Thus these situations will disappear. B．However, it’s the opposite that is true. C．Besides, we’re in control of our feelings. D．In order to be happy, we need “be happy” inside. E．These further enable us to show an outer reality based on our true selves. F．This happiness though will never come if you are looking outside of yourself first. G．One thing that we all need to acquire is the ability to see all situations, people and events from a positive perspective. Passage 3 （2022·福建漳州·二模）People say water can improve health and memory. But now some experts say that to think drinking water equals health is taking things too far and that hydration(水合作用）is about the balance between electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and the water in your body. Then. how much water do you need to drink? Many say you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Not so, some experts say. 11 A 200-pound person who hikes 10 miles in the heat needs more water than a 120-pound office manager in a temperature-controlled building. 12 Someone with a heart condition or kidney stones has one level of need. A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药）may need a different amount of water.You may need to change the amount you are drinking if you lave been ill with vomiting or diarrhea. Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices. 13 One popular idea is that caffeine or alcohol will make your body lose much water. But one study showed the effect is not significant.You also get water from what you eat. Fruits, vegetables, and soups all add to the intake of water. Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough. You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink. 14 Electrolytes are essential minerals. 15 Some sports drinks ads say you need to add electrolytes to stay healthy. But some experts say that your body produces electrolytes. You may need more water if you exercise a lot during the heat of the day. Otherwise, most people get enough electrolytes from food. A．Just drink then you are thirsty. B．They are vital to many functions in the body C．It gives you more energy and makes you look good. D．Instead, your body and the activities you attend matter. E．It is also necessary to set a timetable about when to drink water. F．The amount of water you need in a day also depends on your health. G．But when it comes to hydration, any drink can add water to your system. Passage 4 （23-24高二上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）A Great Way to Teach Children to Take Responsibility As parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older. 16 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 17 18 . For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make  sure  the  children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry. Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 19 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time. Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be. Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 20 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society. A．A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family. B．And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done. C．Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future. D．Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves. E．Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters. F．Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up. G．And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done. Passage 5 （22-23高二上·河北邯郸·期中）Writing an essay can be a difficult task, but it can also be fun. Essay writing provides students with a chance to be creative. When someone chooses to create a persuasive essay, there are quite a few ways to express oneself. 21 Or, will I instead choose to use a serious method in my writing? 22 When doing research for an essay, the student has the chance to become an expert on his or her topic. By writing a student can now share his or her wealth of knowledge with other students and even the teacher. 23 Essay writing, especially persuasive essay writing, provides a chance for healthy debate. Once others read an essay, they may find that they may disagree with certain opinions that are expressed by the author. 24 After all, who doesn’t enjoy arguing for what they believe in? Essay writing is a very enjoyable experience. At the same time, it can be a confidence builder. 25 The only difference is a painter uses pigment (颜料) while the writer uses words. Actually, the writer is painting a picture with words. A．Writing is like painting a picture. B．Will I use humor to get my point across? C．Actually, he or she becomes the teacher. D．Essay writing is like opinion sharing. E．The author and readers can then both back up their positions. F．Before writing an essay, students need some research. G．Essay writing allows one to share his or her ideas with others. 题型4 应用文 Passage 1 （23-24高二·江苏淮安·期中）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. Passage 2 （21-22高二·重庆·期中）People set goals for their lives. Perhaps you want to lose weight, learn a new skill or read 30 books a year. But then you get busy and your daily life takes up all of your time. Before you know it, weeks, then months have gone by and you are no closer to your goal. 6 1. Make a specific plan Adding details to your plan helps you act better. Be sure to add when and where. If your goal is to work out five days each week, a plan like “I’ll work out on weekdays” would be too vague. But a detailed plan like “I’ll exercise at the gym on weekdays during my lunch break” would fit the bill. 7 For example, if you plan to work out during lunch, you’ll be sure to refuse a lunch invitation from others. 2. Consider punishment This may sound difficult, but ensuring you’ll face some punishment if you don’t achieve your goal can work wonders. One easy way to do this is to tell a few people about your goal. You’ll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven’t followed through. Feeling ashamed is a kind of spiritual punishment. You can also make a bet with a friend that you’ll stick to your goal. 8 3. Make it fun Most of us concentrate on the final result when it comes to achieving our goals. 9 Are you enjoying the process of pursuing you goal? If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you’re unlikely to keep at it. But if you get pleasure from your works or study sessions, you’ll persist longer. It’s the pursuit of your goals-not the reaching of them-that makes up the weeks, days and hours of our lives. So make sure to have fun along the way! 4. Get a little help from your friends Spending time around high achievers can boost your own performance. If your aim is to run a marathon or write a book, you’d be wise to start hanging around friends who’ve made it to the finish line and can show you how it’s done. You’ll learn a lot just by spending time together with these friends. 10 Giving someone else tips on how to achieve boosts your self-confidence and motivates you to achieve success. A．There is evidence that cash punishment motivates success. B．It can also help you avoid interruptions. C．Coaching friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too. D．Who could you turn to for help? E．If you want to stick to it, try the following strategies. F．But focusing too much on it can make us ignore an even more important thing. G．Friends are well aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Passage 3 （2022·浙江温州·三模）If you’re a teenager, you are in a very powerful position. Starting good money habits now will put you ahead for the rest of your life. Here are money tips for you. Understand the power of time. You probably aren’t making a ton of money right now, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is time. 11 Let’s look at an example: At the end of your summer job, you have $1000. You invest it at a rate of return of 5%. At the end of those 50 years, you will have $11,467.49. Start a money saving habit. If you start the habit of saving money now, that habit will always be with you. Every dollar you get, whether it’s a gift, an allowance, or pay from a job, get into the habit of saving a portion of it. Half of it would be ideal. 12 The older you get, the harder it can seem to save even 10% of your money. 13 There is so much information available on the internet You can find articles that will teach you how to make $100 fast. There are also so many personal finance books to choose from to know where to start. You can talk to your parents about money, too. Avoid FOMO. FOMO is fear of missing out. 14 It’s important, though, to not give up what you want most for what you want now. What you want now is to take the money you made at your summer job and go on Spring Break. What you want most is to graduate debt free. Or to be able to quit a job you hate because you have a big emergency fund to see you through to your next job. It might not seem like it when you’re eighteen. 15 A．Ask for advice. B．Get Educated. C．And your money has a lot of it. D．But all of that will be true in time. E．Cash tends to burn a hole in our pockets. F．It’s time to start now because you don’t have many expenses.
