What do we do when we don’t know what to do? First, stop, take a deep breath and don’t do anything. 7 It is having faith and trusting what you do know in the unknown. Reflect on the past. Another activity is to recall times in your life when you were faced with an unknown. Then, think about how you handled the situation. 8 Use your past experiences to bring you strength, and to remind you what you are capable of. Make conscious decisions. 9 However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace. Go over you list of what ifs and make a more balanced list of the best and worst situations possible. Then talk to loved ones about what you would do in each situation and the choices you do have. 10 We often see fears as our greatest enemy, yet they provide us with an enormous opportunity for self-growth. What if we were to see them as friends who want to help us become a better person? Let your fears help you instead of hurting you. Then, write down what comes to you. You may be surprised by the answers. A．Don’t panic. B．Befriend your fears. C．When we are fearful, our options seem limited. D．Then try to feel at ease with the state of “not knowing”.

First, stop, take a deep breath and don’t do anything.”可知，当我们不知道该做什么的时候，我们该怎么办？首先，停下来，深呼吸，什么都不要做。D项“然后试着对‘不知道’的状态感到放松”，其中的the state of “not knowing”呼应上文when we don’t know what to do。故选D。 8．根据上文“Another activity is to recall times in your life when you were faced with an unknown. Then, think about how you handled the situation.”可知，另一项活动是回忆你生活中面对未知事物的时候。然后，想想你是如何处理这种情况的。F项“记住这些事件会提醒你，你经历过困难的情况”，其中的situations为词汇复现。故选F。 9．根据后句“However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace.”可知，然而，当我们处于平和状态时，更多的可能性就会出现系。C项“当我们害怕时，我们的选择似乎是有限的”与下文形成对比。故选C。 10．根据下文“We often see fears as our greatest enemy, yet they provide us with an enormous opportunity for self-growth.”可知，我们常常把恐惧视为我们最大的敌人，然而它们却为我们提供了自我成长的巨大机会。由此可知，本段主要讲要善待你的恐惧。B项“与恐惧做朋友”能够总领全段。故选B。 Passage 3 （23-24 高二上・四川宜宾叙州第一中学校・期末） Reading is an important part of learning English, but many students find it difficult. This collection of tips can be of great help to you. Read for the main ideas Read the text a first time to understand the main idea, and don’t look up new words. 11 Use Context Context refers to words and situations around a word you don’t understand. Look at the example sentence： I went to the shlumping to buy some chitla for dinner. What’s ‘schlumping’? - It must be a store because you bought something there. What’s ‘chitia’? - 12 Use Your Own Language Ask yourself this question：Do I read every word in my own language when I am reading a schedule, or summary? 13 Reading in English is like reading in your native language. It is not always necessary to read and understand every word in English. Understand Different Reading Skills Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading. 14 Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. 15 Run your eyes over the text for the specific piece of information. Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject, including reading longer texts for pleasure. Intensive reading is used on shorter texts to get specific information, including close accurate reading for detail. You can use these reading skills to improve other areas of English learning, such as pronunciation, grammar and increasing vocabulary. A．The answer is most definitely：No! B．You may not be so sure about the answer. C．You can usually understand the general idea. D．Skimming is used to quickly gather the main idea. E．It must be food because you are going to eat it for dinner. F．Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. G．Words you don’t know may contain important information. 【答案】11．C 12．E 13．A 14．D 15．F 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了几种提高英文阅读能力的技巧。 11．根据空前一句“Read the text a first time to understand the main idea, and don’t look up new words.（第一遍阅读文本是为了理解大意，不要查生词。）”和下文“You' ll be surprised that you can usually understand the main idea of the story.（你会惊讶于你通常能理解故事的主要意思）”可知，第一遍阅读是为了理解大意，无需查词典，C选项“你通常可以理解大意。”符合语境，即使有些单词不认识，也可以读懂大意，符合段落主题，呼应上文。故选C项。 12．根据前文“What’s ‘schlumping’? - It must be a store because you bought something there.( “schlumping”是什么?——这一定是一家商店，因为你在那里买了东西。)”可知，破折号后是对前文问题的介绍，此处举例说明，空前有问题“What’s ‘chitia’?”和破折号，因此推断E项“它一定是食物，因为你要把它当晚餐吃。”符合语境，介绍前文的问题，句式结构与上文一致，故选E。 13．前文“Ask yourself this question：Do I read every word in my own language when I am reading a schedule, or summary?(问你自己这个问题:当我阅读日程安排或摘要时，我是否用自己母语读每个字?)”提出了一个问题，因此推断A项“答案绝对是:不!”符合语境，回答以上问题，并因此下文“Reading in English is like reading in your native language. It is not always necessary to read and understand every word in English.(用英语阅读就像用母语阅读一样。阅读和理解英语中的每个单词并不总是必要的。)”正确阅读方法的介绍。故选A。 14．根据前文“Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading.(下面是四种阅读技巧的快速概述:略读、扫读、泛读和精读。)”可知，下文讲述四种阅读技巧：略读、扫读、泛读和精读。由下文的“Extensive reading”和“Intensive reading”可知，空处讲述略读，因此推断D项“略读是用来快速收集大意的。”符合语境。故选D。 15．根据前文“Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading.(下面是四种阅读技巧的快速概述:略读、扫读、泛读和精读。)”可知，下文讲述四种阅读技巧：略读、扫读、泛读和精读。结合第四空的推理以及下文的“Extensive reading”和“Intensive reading”可知，空处讲述扫读，因此推断F项“扫读是用来找到一个特定的信息。”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 4 （23-24 高二上・四川泸县第一中学・期末） Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language? The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. 16 . This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication. Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry. Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth? Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious? In most cultures, these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common. But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. 17 . In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand. In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). 18 . So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. 19 . No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another. 20 , you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay! A．It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture. B．So, the next time you decide to travel to another country C．When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight. D．They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. E．Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad. F．Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication. G．A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake. 【答案】16．E 17．G 18．C 19．F 20．B 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是肢体语言及不同地区肢体语言的差异。 16．根据上文“The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. (理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能。)”可知，上文告诉我们理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能，E项意为“即使最小的孩子也能知道妈妈什么时候生气了。”选项能够承接上文，举例说明理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能，即使最小的孩子也能通过肢体语言知道妈妈什么时候生气了。故选E。 17．根据下文“In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand. (然而，在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，而不是握手。)”可知，下文告诉我们在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，G项意为“在西方文化中，说“你好”的一般方式是简短的握手。”选项能够引起下文，分别介绍了西方和印度问候某人的方式，西方是简短的握手，印度不是握手，而是触摸他们的脚。故选G。 18．根据上文“For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). (例如，“OK”符号在印度被用作极好的符号，但在土耳其，这个符号被认为是冒犯性的。)”可知，上文告诉我们在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，C项意为“当你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。”选项能够承接上文，在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。故选C。 19．根据上文“So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. (那么，我们该怎么办？我们不应该使用手势吗？当然不是。)”可知，上文提出问题，既然各地的手势语不同，我们不应该使用手势吗？F项意为“手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。”选项能够承接上文，我们应该使用手势语，因为手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。故选F。 20．根据下文“you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay! (你最好在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书，以便更好地与当地人互动，避免在逗留期间冒犯他们！)”可知，下文告诉我们可以通过在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，B项意为“所以，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时”，选项能够引起下文，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时，先在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，以便更好地与当地人互动。故选B。 Passage 5 （23-24 高二上・四川合江马街中学校・期末） New Year’s resolutions you should be making about time management You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding. That’s why as a time management coach, I recommend that you do the opposite: 21 Know less It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone. 22 Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly. Resolution: I resolve to be less aware of “interesting” things so I can be interested in and present for the people around me. Care less This one may sound a bit unfeeling.You may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well. 23 What that means is that you say “No” a lot. Here is a way: I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day. 24 Being able to unplug from work in my personal time increases my ability to serve my clients well when I’m in the office. Resolution: 25 Consequently, I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me. Is it easy to do less? No. But will it lead you to the best outcomes in the end? Yes. You’ll thank yourself for it at the end of 2020. A．Resolve to do less. B．Contact people face to face. C．I have to manage my time strategically. D．But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7. E．Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether. F．I resolve to care less about what others want me to do. G．But you can’t care about everyone who wants your attention professionally. 【答案】21．A 22．E 23．G 24．D 25．F 【分析】本文为说明文。文章叙述了在新年如何制定关于管理时间的新年计划。工作日外要有自己的私人时间，用于做自己喜欢做的事。人的精力是有限的，不能尽力照顾每一个人，要关心最亲近的人。到了年底你会感激自己的。 21．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第一段第一句“You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding.” 从去年开始，你可能已经有太多的目标和太多的失望。所以当你展望2020年，添加更多的想法似乎有点令人兴奋，但也有点令人生畏。下面说这就是我建议你反其道而行之（you do the opposite）: ___1___”。文中冒号起到解释说明作用，“do the opposite”对应上文提到“the idea of adding more”，与增加更多的想法相反的就是不去做多的计划，分析选项可知，可知A项Resolve to do less（决心少点）符合题意。故选A。 22．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本文的小标题“know less”知道的少点。上句“It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone.” 不了解每件事的最新进展也没关系。为了减少这些干扰，你可以关掉手机上的社交媒体通知。以及后面的“Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.” 取消订阅你不经常阅读的通知邮件或时事通讯。这些都是呼应上文提到的减少社交媒体干扰，分析选项可知E项Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether（或者，你也可以完全卸载应用程序）中用“Alternatively”提出另外一种解决方案，即把应用程序卸载了，也就了解的少了，可知E项符合题意，故选E。 23．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。针对前文“you may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well” 你可能想成为一个善良体贴的人，为您的朋友和家人，并为您的客户提供良好的服务。结合空后“What that means is that you say “No” a lot.”意味着多拒绝。可知，结合本段的小标题为“care less(少关心点)”。可知，本段就是要求你少点关心。分析选项可知，G项But you can’t care about everyone who wants your attention professionally.（但你不能关心每个想要你专门关心的人）与少点关心意义一致。把本句放入句中，即：但你不能关心每个想要你专门关心的人，这意味着你经常说“不”。可知，意义上是一致的，故选G。 24．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前文“I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day” 我星期一到星期五白天都在为顾客服务。后文又提到“Being able to unplug from work in my personal time” 能够在我的私人时间里从工作中解脱出来。可知，没有必要一周七天都要工作。要用自己的私人时间。分析选项可知，D项But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7（但是我觉得没有必要一周七天，一天24小时都要为客户服务）符合题意，由此故而中间需要D项作为衔接。故选D。 25．考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空格后的“I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me.” 我可以将我的时间做我的最优先要做的事，更好地照顾与我最亲近的人。因此可知，不能在乎别人要你做什么，而要做你最想做的事，照顾你最想照顾的人。这也呼应前面的小标题“Care less”提出的新年心愿。分析选项可知F 项I resolve to care less about what others want me to do（我决心不去在乎别人想让我做什么）符合语境可知，可知F项符合题意，故选F。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25 高二上・四川眉山仁寿第一中学校（北校区）・期末） How to Stay Safe on a Field Trip Many parents are relaxed and even want their children to go on field trips. 1 Here are some tips to help students stay secure during their field trip adventures.

When crossing roads, they must practice road safety by looking both ways and walking with caution. (确保学生记住父母的电话号码并在紧急情况下将其放在手边是至关重要的。过马路时，他们必须注意道路安全)”是孩子们在野外郊游时保持身体安全的2个方法，G选项“此外，学生在去其他地方之前应该征得许可。”中的“Besides”是提示，该选项对上文进行进一步说明，讲另一个孩子们在野外郊游时保持身体安全的方法。故选G项。 3．由小标题“Keep hygiene (卫生) while dining out (外出就餐时保持卫生)”可知该段主要讲孩子们在野外郊游时保持安全方法之一——外出就餐时保持卫生，E选项“总的来说，学生应该保持良好的清洁习惯。”与本段中心（外出就餐时保持卫生）相关，且该选项能引出下文“For example, washing hands before and after meals, and using soap in public places to minimize the risk of exposure to germs.

Practicing good restroom hygiene is also important to minimize the risk of spreading illness to others. They can also wear a mask to stay furthest away from sickness, and inform a teacher to receive proper assistance if they feel unwell. (在野外郊游中使用公共厕所时，学生应使用一次性座套或卫生纸，以减少细菌的接触。保持良好的厕所卫生对最大限度地减少疾病传播给他人的风险也很重要。他们也可以戴口罩远离疾病，如果感到不适，可以通知老师接受适当的帮助)”可知，本段主要讲孩子们在野外郊游时保持安全方法之一——通过一些方法避免生病，A选项“尽量避免生病。”切合语境。故选A项。 5．该空位于总结段落段首，应肯定孩子们在野外郊游时保持安全的实用提示的重要性和好处，D选项“遵守安全方法以确保郊游顺利进行是很重要的。”表明了这样做的重要性和好处，自然引出下文“By sticking to these safety tips, students can have a safe and enjoyable field trip experience. (通过坚持这些安全提示，学生可以获得安全愉快的野外郊游体验)”讲这样做能让学生获得安全愉快的野外郊游体验。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25 高二上・四川泸州老窖天府中学・期末） Why is a compliment so impactful? One of the most important things to humans is to feel valued and respected by others, says Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist, who has researched compliments. According to her research, people feel “significantly better” after both giving and receiving a compliment. 6 “You handled that situation so well.” Bohns recently used her favorite compliment when she saw a server address a difficult situation with a customer at the bar. “I like it so much because you use it in anxious moments where the other person is often unsure of whether they handled a situation OK,” she says. In situations that call for a compliment, don’t second-guess yourself. Give your compliments generously. 7 That concern is unfounded. “ 8 ” This compliment — one of Bohns’ favorites — works well among romantic partners and close family members. “It’s a beautiful way to highlight how their presence turns life into something meaningful, despite boring routines of our everyday lives,” she says. If you’re afraid that giving a compliment like this will feel strange, you’re not alone. 9 If it makes you personally feel like the bar is lowered for you to give a compliment if you write it down, or if you practice saying it out loud or giving your pet cat the compliment first, do that. “Hey, great dress!” Feel free to compliment strangers. In Bohns’ research, students on a college campus were told to approach a stranger of the same gender and compliment them-about, for example, their nice shirt. Before heading out, the study participants tended to underestimate their positive effect while overestimating how annoying it would be. Across all contexts, strangers are more likely to be pleased than confused. Plus, who knows? 10 A．I love the way you bring out the best in people. B．Respect is essential when you deliver compliments. C．One way to overcome this fear is to do a practice run. D．You make even ordinary moments feel extraordinary. E．You might make a new friend in addition to making someone’s day. F．With that in mind, we asked her to share some of her favorite compliments. G．People sometimes worry that they’re going over and will start to sound insincere. 【答案】6．F 7．G 8．D 9．C 10．E 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要通过引用社会心理学家Vanessa Bohns的研究和观点，来阐述赞美的重要性和如何有效地给予赞美。 6．设空位于首段段尾，应是承接上文，引出下文的作用，根据前文“Why is a compliment so impactful? One of the most important things to humans is to feel valued and respected by others, says Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist, who has researched compliments. According to her research, people feel “significantly better” after both giving and receiving a compliment.(为什么赞美有这么大的影响力?研究赞美的社会心理学家凡妮莎·博恩斯(Vanessa Bohns)说，对人类来说，最重要的事情之一就是感到被别人重视和尊重。根据她的研究，人们在给予和接受赞美后都会感觉“好得多”)”可知，本文主要讲述了赞美的重要性，根据后文小标题可知，是一些赞美词，所以F项“With that in mind, we asked her to share some of her favorite compliments.(考虑到这一点，我们请她分享一些她最喜欢的赞美)”承接上文，并引出下文，符合文意。故选F项。 7．根据前文“In situations that call for a compliment, don’t second-guess yourself. Give your compliments generously.(在需要赞美的情况下，不要怀疑自己。慷慨地赞美别人)”以及后文“That concern is unfounded.(这种担心是没有根据的)”可知，前文讲述慷慨的赞美别人，后文讲述一种担心，所以空处应是提出一种担心，所以G项“People sometimes worry that they’re going over and will start to sound insincere.(人们有时会担心自己说得过了头，听起来会不真诚)”符合文意。故选G项。 8．分析设空，为本段小标题，是凡妮莎·博恩斯最喜欢的赞美，根据后文“This compliment—one of Bohns’ favorites—works well among romantic partners and close family members. “It’s a beautiful way to highlight how their presence turns life into something meaningful, despite boring routines of our everyday lives,” she says.(这是博恩斯最喜欢的赞美之一，在恋人和亲密的家庭成员之间很管用。她说：“这是一种美丽的方式，突显了他们的存在如何让生活变得有意义，尽管我们的日常生活很无聊。”)”可知，这个赞美适合浪漫伴侣和亲密的家庭成员之间使用，强调对方的存在如何使生活变得有意义，所以D项“You make even ordinary moments feel extraordinary.(你让平凡的时刻变得不平凡)”符合文意。故选D项。 9．根据前文“If you’re afraid that giving a compliment like this will feel strange, you’re not alone.(如果你害怕这样的赞美会让你觉得奇怪，那么你并不孤单)”以及后文“If it makes you personally feel like the bar is lowered for you to give a compliment if you write it down, or if you practice saying it out loud or giving your pet cat the compliment first, do that.(如果你把赞美的话写下来，或者你先练习大声说出来，或者先赞美你的宠物猫，这会让你觉得赞美的门槛降低，那就去做吧)”可知，空格需要提供一个克服这种担忧的方法，所以C项“One way to overcome this fear is to do a practice run.(克服这种恐惧的一个方法是进行练习)”与这个语境非常吻合，它直接回应了前文的担忧，并提供了后文所描述的建议。故选C项。 10．设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Feel free to compliment strangers. In Bohns’ research, students on a college campus were told to approach a stranger of the same gender and compliment them-about, for example, their nice shirt. Before heading out, the study participants tended to underestimate their positive effect while overestimating how annoying it would be. Across all contexts, strangers are more likely to be pleased than confused. Plus, who knows?(你可以随意赞美陌生人。在博恩斯的研究中，大学校园里的学生被要求接近一个同性陌生人并赞美他们——比如，赞美他们漂亮的衬衫。在出发之前，研究参与者往往低估了他们的积极影响，而高估了他们会有多烦人。在所有情况下，陌生人更容易感到高兴而不是困惑。另外，谁知道呢?)”可知，E项“You might make a new friend in addition to making someone’s day.(除了让别人开心之外，你还可能交到一个新朋友)”与这个语境非常吻合，描述了赞美陌生人可能带来的社交好处，是对前文方法的总结。故选E项。 Passage 3 （24-25 高二上・四川自贡第一中学校・期末） It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights. However, don’t let the cold weather prevent you from accomplishing your fitness goals. 11 . Dress for the weather. 12 . Wind chills can easily go through thinner items of clothes. If your clothes are wet on a rainy day, you’ll have no protection from the icy temperature. So it is crucial to wear a windproof or water-resistant outer layer. Protect your head and hands. While only about 10 percent of your body heat escapes from your head, as opposed to 70 percent as previously believed, wearing a hat in cold weather is still important. 13 . Choose a pair with touchscreen fingers to avoid frequently taking them off and on. Stay hydrated (含水的). You may feel like you sweat less in cold weather, but don’t be fooled. You still need to drink up. 14 . Stay hydrated by drinking room temperature water before, during and after your workout. 15 . “Imagine a rubber band... it’s flexible, bendy (易弯曲的) and pulls right back to its shape. Now imagine that same rubber band, but frozen. If you try to pull too hard before it’s unfrozen, it’ll break suddenly,” explains trainer Ashley Wilking. Your muscles are like rubber bands, you need to gradually wake them up to prevent injury. Start to heat up your large muscles with light stretching, jumping jacks and lunges indoors before heading outside. A．Do active warm-ups B．Exercise like a bendy rubber band C．Follow our expert tips to stay fit, warm and motivated this winter D．Your workout wear should be soft and flexible for you to stretch and exercise E．Wind chill and rain are key elements to consider for outdoor workouts in winter F．Your hands are another body part that are likely to feel the chill, so gloves are a must G．Losing much water increases your risk of injury and will slow down your performance 【答案】11．C 12．E 13．F 14．G 15．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多个冬季户外锻炼的实用建议。 11．根据上文“It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights. However, don’t let the cold weather prevent you from accomplishing your fitness goals.(一旦冬天来了，低温、风寒、下雨、黑夜，就很难找到进行户外锻炼的动力。然而，不要让寒冷的天气阻碍你完成健身目标)”可知，空前提到不要让冬季的寒冷天气阻止你完成运动目标。空处应是承上启下的句子，根据后面四个标题所表达的要点可知，本句主要提出冬日保持温暖的建议。故C选项“遵循我们的专家建议，在这个冬天保持健康、温暖和积极”符合语境，故选C。 12．根据“Dress for the weather (根据天气穿衣服)”这一段的描述，尤其是下文“So it is crucial to wear a windproof or water-resistant outer layer.(因此，穿上防风或防水的外层是至关重要的)”可知，作者建议户外运动要穿防风和防水的外套，作为本段的段首句，应提出冬季户外运动寒风和雨水是需要考虑的主要因素，故E选项“风寒和雨水是冬季户外锻炼的关键因素”符合语境，故选E。 13．根据本段小标题“Protect your head and hands.(保护好你的头和手)”提到要保护头和手，前一句“While only about 10 percent of your body heat escapes from your head, as opposed to 70 percent as previously believed, wearing a hat in cold weather is still important.(虽然只有大约10%的身体热量从头部逸出，而不是之前认为的70%，但在寒冷的天气戴上帽子仍然很重要)”提到戴帽子仍然是重要的，后一句“Choose a pair with touchscreen fingers to avoid frequently taking them off and on(选一双可以触屏的手套来避免频繁穿脱)”，此处“a pair”与F选项中“gloves”构成指代关系，故F选项“你的手是另一个容易感到寒冷的身体部位，所以手套是必须的”符合语境，故选F。 14．根据本段小标题“Stay hydrated. (保持水分摄入)”可知，本段主要谈论注意补水，上文“You still need to drink up.(你仍然需要多喝水)”说到你需要多喝水，下文“Stay hydrated by drinking room temperature water before, during and after your workout.(在运动前、运动中、运动后都要喝常温的水)”说到在运动前、运动中、运动后都需要喝水，故G选项“失去太多水分会增加你受伤的风险，也会降低你的表现”说明注意补水的原因，符合语境，故选G。 15．根据本段内容““Imagine a rubber band... it’s flexible, bendy (易弯曲的) and pulls right back to its shape. Now imagine that same rubber band, but frozen. If you try to pull too hard before it’s unfrozen, it’ll break suddenly,” explains trainer Ashley Wilking. Your muscles are like rubber bands, you need to gradually wake them up to prevent injury. Start to heat up your large muscles with light stretching, jumping jacks and lunges indoors before heading outside.(“想象一根橡皮筋……它是柔韧的，可弯曲的，可以拉回原来的形状。现在想象一下同样的橡皮筋，但是是冰冻的。如果你在它解冻之前用力拉，它会突然断裂，”教练阿什利·威尔金解释说。你的肌肉就像橡皮筋，你需要逐渐唤醒它们，以防止受伤。出门之前，先在室内做一些轻微的伸展运动、开合跳和箭步跳来热身你的大肌肉)”可知，本段内容将肌肉比作橡皮筋，运动前需要通过一些伸展、跳跃等轻微的运动逐步唤醒肌肉避免伤害，故A选项“做一些积极的热身运动”符合语境，故选A。 Passage 4 （23-24 高二上・四川泸县第四中学・期末） Becoming Refreshed without sleeping Sometimes there is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and get a good night’s rest. 16 Once in a while you can get away with a sleepless night and still feel reasonably good by adjusting your meals and activities. 17 The last thing you want to do when you are tired is get warm and cozy, this will cause you to fall asleep. Keeping the air conditioner on will make you feel much more alert and refreshed. Eat small amounts. Eating small amounts of healthy food will help refresh you. Fruit and nuts are a good choice because they are nutritious and will energize you   18 Try to stick to low carbon meals to keep you going. Chewing gum after your snack or small meal will also help keep you awake. Keep it bright. When it is dark your body thinks it is time to go to sleep. Turn on lots of lights, which will trick your body into waking up and feeling better. 19 You get double the benefits if it is daytime. Take a break. Taking a little break will help you in the long run. Turn up some energizing music to get yourself positive. Relax and talk to a friend in person or on the phone for a few minutes. 20 A．Keep it cool B．Calm down and sleep C．Avoid big, heavy meals as they will make you tired D．Going outside whether it is day or night for some fresh air E．Missing sleep regularly can make you sick and should be avoided F．When you are tired, you may just want to sit around and do nothing G．Having a good time for a few minutes will refresh you quicker than anything else. 【答案】16．E 17．A 18．C 19．D 20．G 【分析】本文是说明文。介绍不睡觉使你精神焕发的方法。 16． 根据上句：有时候，一天中没有足够的时间来完成每件事，并得到一个好的睡眠。再根据空格下句：偶尔你也能度过一个不眠之夜，并通过调整你的饮食和活动仍然感觉不错。可知前面说到not enough hours in the day一天没有足够时间睡好，下面要说经常这样缺觉的后果，此空要表达的意思是”经常失眠会使你生病，应该避免”。故选E。 17． 此空相当于一个小标题。根据小标题的特点和下文每段句首，可知此空应该是一个祈使句，在A/B/C三个选项中选择。再根据下文：保持空调开着会让你感到更加清醒和精神振奋。可知A. Keep it cool.符合题意。故选A。 18． 根据上文：建议吃少量的食物。吃少量的健康食品有助于恢复体力。再根据空格下句：试着坚持低碳饮食来保持健康。可知此空是在说明吃太多的坏处，它们会使你疲劳。big, heavy meals和small amounts是反义词，故选C。 19．根据上文：当天黑的时候，身体会认为该睡了。把灯打开，这会让你的身体清醒过来，感觉更好。再根据空格下句：如果是白天，你会得到双倍的福利。得知这是在说前面的行为带来的好处，建议我们：无论是白天还是晚上，到外面去呼吸新鲜空气。故选D。 20． 根据上文：从长远来看，稍微休息一下对你有好处。打开一些充满活力的音乐让自己积极向上。放松一下，与朋友当面或电话交谈几分钟。可知前面建议做的事情都是休息一会儿，开心几分钟会，这样做比任何事情都能让你更快地恢复体力。故选G。 Passage 5 （23-24 高二上・四川宜宾兴文第二中学校・期末） In recent years, more Chinese students have been choosing art school as their first choice when applying for universities overseas, according to the Report on Chinese Students’ Overseas Study in 2018. Anyone applying to art school should know that one’s portfolio （资历证明材料） is a crucial part of the application process. 21 Focus on original, recent work. Admissions officers see so many portfolios on a regular basis, so it’s important to make yourself stand out as an individual. 22 Presenting work that you’ve done within the last one or two years also provides a more relevant and accurate portrayal （描述） of your skills. 23 You don’t want to spread yourself too thin, but working with a variety of media and different techniques can convey that you are able to express yourself in diverse ways. Unless the school requires that only finished work be included in your portfolio, you should include images that reflect the progress of your work. 24 It gives admissions officers insight into the thought that has gone into the work. Make sure that your work shows your true talent. 25 Remember never try to make up some merits, which will in turn be a mirror of your dishonesty. However, it is always helpful to look at samples of other art portfolios to see their approach. A．Prepare your portfolio in different languages. B．Show a wide range of work in your portfolio. C．Be proud of what you submit and your own strengths. D．Why is a good portfolio important to your successful application? E．This may include images from a workbook behind the finished product. F．Here are some tips to help you through this process and put your best work out there. G．It’s more impressive to express your personal opinion rather than copying another’s work. 【答案】21．F 22．G 23．B 24．E 25．C 【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国学生想要留学海外申请艺术学校时，提交资历证明材料通过资格申请过程的一些技巧。 21．浏览文章并阅读第一自然段的“In recent years, more Chinese students have been choosing art school as their first choice when applying for universities overseas”可知，第一段在交代本文的背景，即中国学生想要留学海外越来越将艺术学校作为首选。文章下面分段论述不同的技巧，且空处前一句“Anyone applying to art school should know that one’s portfolio （资历证明材料） is a crucial part of the xkw application process.”写到“任何申请艺术学校的人都应该知道资历证明材料是申请过程中非常重要的部分”，故空处应该填的内容能够与前一句承接并引起下文。选项F“Here are some tips to help you throughthis process and put your best work out there.”(这里有一些建议可以帮助你完成这个过程并将你最好的作品展现出来)，符合此处想要表达的含义且逻辑通顺，故答案为F。 22．空处前一句写到“so it’s important to make yourself stand out as an individual." (所以让你自己脱颖而出是很重要的)，空处后面“Presenting work that you’ve done within the last one or two years also provides a more relevant and accurate portrayal （描述） of your skills.”又提到展示自己过去一到两年做过的工作也能提供对自己技能更具相关性和精确的描述。浏览选项，选项G“It’s more impressive to express your personal opinion rather than copying another’s work." (表达个人的观点更能让人印象深刻而不是抄袭别人的工作)，G选项承接前一句，都提到表达自己的观点，让自己脱颖而出，且能够引出下一句关于work的论述，故答案为G。 23．空处位于第三段开头，因此合理猜测要选一个具有总结性的句子能够概括第三段的段意。根据下文“You don’t want to spread yourself too thin, but working with a variety of media and different techniques can convey that you are able to express yourself in diverse ways.”可知，第三段讲述了与各种媒体和不同的科技合作能够传递一种信息，就是个人能够用各种方式表达自己，即此段落的技巧是强调多样化，丰富自己。选项中，提到多样化展示自己，强调范围的只有选项B“Show a wide range of work in your portfolio”(在资历证明中广泛展示自己的工作)，符合此处表达的含义，故答案为B。 24．根据上文“Unless the school requires that only finished work be included in your portfolio, you should include images that reflect the progress of your work.”说明第四段提供的技巧是可以在资历证明中加入一些照片，能够让招生办深入了解。前一句写到“you should includeimages that reflect the progress of yourwork." (你应该包括反应你工作过程的图像)，选项E“This may include images from a workbook behind the finished product.”(这可能包括已完成工作的工作簿图像)紧接前句，都在说关于图像的技巧，逻辑紧密，故答案为E。 25．第五段的大意为展现自己真正的才能，不要去编造自己没有的品质，因为这样反而会显得不诚实，但是可以参考别人资历证明材料中使用的方法。首句“Make sure that your work shows your true talent”(确保你的工作能展示出自己真正的才能)，以及后面所提到“Remember never try to make up some merits, which will in turn be a mirror of your dishonesty.”说明要真诚不编造，故空处所填内容应该表达对自己的反思即相信自己。选项C“Be proud of what you submit and your own strength”(为你提交的内容和自己的力量感到自豪)，符合段落主旨，故答案为C。 Passage 6 （24-25 高二上・四川宜宾第三中学校・期末） Managing Conflict with Humor Laughter is a powerful tool. 26 Here’s how to use humor to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships. Make sure you’re both in on the joke. Humor can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. 27 If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”. When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual, it can damage the relationship. 28 Humor helps you face challenges in life. But there are times when humor is not healthy. For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships. Develop a smart sense of humor. Some find it easier than others to use humor, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humor. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously. After all, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. So, if you’re having a bad hair day, make a joke about it. 29 Tap into (发掘) your playful side. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humor. However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humor to manage conflict. The point isn’t to impress the other person, but simply to lighten the mood. 30 It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind. A．Some jokes are easy to understand. B．Avoid humor when facing challenges. C．Don’t use humor to cover up other emotions. D．So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person. E．Therefore, don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid. F．It brings people closer, managing conflict, and reducing tension. G．Even if the joke falls flat, the only person you risk offending is yourself. 【答案】26．F 27．D 28．C 29．G 30．E 【导语】本文体裁为说明文，主要就如何运用幽默来解决冲突和加强人际关系提供了建议和指导。 26．由上文“Laughter is a powerful tool. (笑是一种强大的工具。)”以及下文“Here’s how to use humor to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships. (下面是如何用幽默来解决分歧和加强你们的关系。)”可知，这段文字主要讲述幽默在解决冲突中的作用，因此第1空应承接上文，阐述笑所带来的积极效果，选项F“It brings people closer, managing conflict, and reducing tension. (它拉近了人们之间的距离，处理冲突，并减少紧张情绪。)”能承上启下，符合语境；选项中“It”指代上文中的Laughter”。故选F。 27．由上文“Make sure you’re both in on the joke. Humor can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. (确保你们俩都参与了这个笑话。只有当双方都在开玩笑时，幽默才能帮助你克服冲突)”和下文“If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”. When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual, it can damage the relationship. (如果他或她不太可能欣赏这个笑话，不要说或做，即使这是“好玩的”。当玩笑是单方面的而不是相互的，它会破坏关系。)”可知，上文强调双方都要能理解笑话，后面紧接着提到如果对方不会欣赏这个笑话就不要开，这表明要对对方的感受保持敏感，因此选项D“So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person. (所以对另一个人的感受保持敏感是很重要的。)”与上文构成因果关系，承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 28．设空处为主题句；由下文“Humor helps you face challenges in life. But there are times when humor is not healthy. For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships. (幽默可以帮助你面对生活中的挑战。但有时幽默是不健康的。例如，有时它被用作避免痛苦情绪的掩护。你可以拿事实开玩笑，但隐瞒事实就不好笑了。当你这样做的时候，你会在你们的关系中制造混乱和不信任。)”可知，第3空后的内容讲述了不当使用幽默的情况，特别是用幽默来逃避痛苦的情绪是不健康的；选项C“Don’t use humor to cover up other emotions. (不要用幽默来掩饰其他情绪。)”指出应避免用幽默掩盖其他情绪，能够概括本段主旨，起到引领下文的作用。故选C。 29．由上文“Develop a smart sense of humor. Some find it easier than others to use humor, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humor. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously. After all, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. So, if you’re having a bad hair day, make a joke about it. (培养聪明的幽默感。有些人比其他人更容易运用幽默，尤其是在紧张的情况下。如果你的努力效果不太好，那就从自嘲幽默开始吧。我们都喜欢不太把自己当回事的人。毕竟，人无完人，我们都会犯错。所以，如果你今天发型不好，那就开个玩笑吧。)”通过自嘲幽默的例子来说明自嘲的好处；因此选项G“Even if the joke falls flat, the only person you risk offending is yourself. (即使笑话没引起共鸣，你唯一可能冒犯的人就是你自己。)”承接上文，进一步阐述自嘲的好处，指出自嘲即使没有引起共鸣，也不会伤害别人，符合语境。故选G。 30．上文“Tap into (发掘) your playful side. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humor. However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humor to manage conflict. The point isn’t to impress the other person, but simply to lighten the mood. (挖掘你好玩的一面。在尝试幽默时害怕被拒绝是可以理解的。然而，重要的是要指出，你不需要成为一个喜剧演员来使用幽默来处理冲突。这样做的目的不是为了给对方留下深刻印象，而只是为了缓和气氛。)”指出，尝试幽默只是为了缓和气氛，不需要让自己成为一个喜剧演员，因此挖掘自己好玩的一面时，不用害怕自己表现太傻；选项E“Therefore, don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid. (因此，不要害怕像孩子一样表现得傻气。)”与上文构成因果关系，符合语境。故选E。 Passage 7 （23-24 高二上・四川泸县第五中学・期末） By 2050 we’ll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 31 Teenagers will love it. Instead of putting an emoticon(表情符号)at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement. I’m talking about telepathy (心灵感应), really. We’ll still communicate the traditional way. 32 Our children will wonder: What is a keyboard? We will enter the age of the ”brain net". Medicine will develop fast, too. 33 , and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We’ll live with it. It will no longer be deadly. We won’t fear it like we used to. Technology will help in this respect. 34 Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies to discover cancer cells. Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.   35 . By 2050 I think we’ll be able to grow many of the important organs(器官)of the body and, rather than allow the organs we’re born with to become old and weak, well replace them. That’s all coming. And it doesn’t take much imagination to realise it. A．We will do a few tests B．People will live an easy life C．We will have cured certain forms of cancer D．Brain science will have changed communication E．We can already use human cells to grow skin, noses, ears, etc F．But communicating telepathically will avoid misunderstandings between people G．Our clothes will discover the beginnings of a heart disease, and advise us to get treatment 【答案】31．D 32．F 33．C 34．G 35．E 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。从几个方面讲述了未来的生活。 31．根据下文“Instead of putting an emoticon (表情符号) at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement.（不再在每句话的末尾加上表情符号，他们会直接使用感情交流：比如说生气、开心和激动。）”可知，空后提出了未来的交流方式，故D项“脑科学将会改变交流的方式。”符合，空后说明具体的直接情感交流的方式，故选D项。 32．根据本段首句“I’m talking about telepathy (心灵感应), really.（真的，我说的是心灵感应。）”可知，本段主要介绍了未来通过心灵感应来交流的方式。且空前“We’ll still communicate the traditional way.”（我们仍然会用传统的方式交流。）可知，此空与空前构成转折关系，故F项“但是心灵感应交流能避免产生误会”符合，尽管我们会用传统的方式交流，但是心灵感应交流能避免产生误会，故选F项。 33．根据本段首句内容“Medicine will develop fast, too.”（医疗也会得到快速的发展。）可知，本段主要介绍未来医疗方面的发展。根据下文“and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We’ll live with it. It will no longer be deadly.”（并且我们会像对待常见的感冒一样对待癌症，我们会和它一起生活，它也不再是致命的。）可知，空处应承接前文，讲述医疗的发展对我们的好处。选项C.“我们将治愈某些癌症”，符合题意，故选C。 34．根据空前“Technology will help in this respect.”（科技在这方面能起到一定的作用。）空后“Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies (液体活检) to discover cancer cells.”（智能马桶能通过液体活检来发现尿液中含有的癌细胞。）可知，空前提到科技在医疗方面会有所帮助，空后举出具体的例子，故G项“我们的衣服会发现心脏病的开始，并建议我们去治疗。”符合，举出另一个相关的例子，故选G项。 35．根据空后“By 2050 I think we’ll be able to grow many of the important organs (器官) of the body and, rather than allow the organs we’re born with to become old and weak, we’ll replace them.”（到2050年，我认为我们将能够生长很多重要的器官，而不再是任由我们的器官变旧变虚弱，我们可以自行替代这些旧的器官。）可知，本段主要讲述在未来我们可以自己生长器官，故E项“我们已经可以能通过细胞来生长皮肤、鼻子、耳朵等等。”符合，故选E项。 Passage 8 （24-25 高二上・四川绵阳三台中学校・期末） How to Avoid an Internet Addiction It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days. But if you can’t have interest in other aspects of your life because of the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. You might fear you’re the only one who has experienced that feeling. 36 Luckily, there are some ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer. 37 More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet, and you are not the only one with this problem. So do not be embarrassed. Just be brave to admit that you are on your way to an Internet addiction. And then find others with the same problem and help each other beat it. Set aside limited time for computer use. Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. 38   If you have a desktop PC, try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet. Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts. If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside to do something you enjoy, like playing a sport. This will take your mind off the computer. 39 Use an alarm clock or timer (计时器). Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get away from the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop. 40 A．Being addicted to it is quite normal. B．Admit you are at risk of an addiction. C．The truth, though, is that it’s quite common to be an addict. D．When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it. E．This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time. F．If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends or ask for help in person. G．This will prevent you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page. 【答案】36．C 37．B 38．D 39．F 40．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何戒掉网瘾提出了一些建议。 36．根据上文“It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days. But if you can’t have interest in other aspects of your life because of the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. You might fear you’re the only one who has experienced that feeling.(现在似乎每个人都上网。但是，如果你因为互联网而对生活的其他方面失去兴趣，你可能正在走向网瘾。你可能担心你是唯一一个有过这种感觉的人)”以及后文“Luckily, there are some ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer.(幸运的是，有一些方法可以避免在电脑前生活)”可知，设空处承接上下文，指出网瘾现象很常见，但是有办法去解决，故C选项“然而，事实是，上瘾是很常见的”符合语境，故选C。 37．根据本段内容“More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet, and you are not the only one with this problem. So do not be embarrassed. Just be brave to admit that you are on your way to an Internet addiction. And then find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.(世界上越来越多的人沉迷于互联网，你不是唯一一个有这个问题的人。所以不要尴尬。只要勇敢地承认你正在走向网瘾。然后找到其他有同样问题的人，互相帮助)”可知，本段给出的建议是承认自己有网瘾，B选项中Admit对应后文admit。故B选项“承认你有上瘾的危险”符合语境，故选B。 38．根据上文“Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day.

Generally speaking,we could say that there are four stages of culture shock.The first stage is called“the honeymoon” 41 And everything seems to be wonderful and everybody seems to be so nice to you. The next stage is“the hostility stage(排斥期)”.In this stage,you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. 42 Moreover,people don't treat you like a guest anymore. Then you come to the third stage called“recovery”.In this stage,you start to feel more positive. 43 The whole situation starts to become more pleasant.Now you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it. The last stage of culture shock is called“adjustment". 44 You have learned enough about the new culture.The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable. Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages. 45 It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another. A．You should communicate with people more often. B．And you try to learn everything you don't understand. C．You become tired of many things about the new culture. D．Friends should help each other to deal with culture shock. E．In addition,culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitors. F．In this stage,you are excited about living in a different place.

Now you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.（整个情况开始变得更令人愉快。现在你开始学着去适应它。）可知，设空处描述的是尝试去理解以前不理解的一切。B项：And you try to learn everything you don't understand.（你试着去学习所有你不懂的东西。）符合语境。故选B。 44．根据上文The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment"（文化冲击的最后一个阶段是“调整”。）和下文中的Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.（现在你已经适应了新的文化，感到很舒服。）可知，本段主要讲的是调整期的感受，G项：In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good.（在这个阶段，你已经达到了一个你真正感觉良好的阶段。）符合语境。故选G。 45．根据上文Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.（并不是所有到其他国家拜访的人都会经历这四个阶段。）和下文It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another.（在一个文化内部，当个体从一地迁移到另一地或从一种环境迁移到另一种环境时，也会发生。）可知，文化冲击并不只局限于出国的那些人。E项：In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitors.（此外，文化冲击并不局限于海外游客。）符合语境。故选E。 【点睛】阅读七选五要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征又较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有帮助。分析本文的语篇结构，可以知道第一段是文章的主题句，然后接下来各段的语篇结构都是主题句（总）+支撑句（分）（分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等）。例如文章第1小题，根据上文The first stage is called “the honeymoon”（ 第一阶段被称为“蜜月期”）和下文And everything seems to be wonderful and everybody seems to be so nice to you.（一切似乎都很美好，每个人似乎对你都很好。）可知，设空处主要描述蜜月期的感受。F项，符合语境。故选F。 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25 高二上・四川泸州三校联盟・期末） Mathematics is often considered one of the most challenging subjects for students. Recent surveys report that 37% of teens found math to be harder than other subjects. 1 Attention difficulties Math often involves multi-step problems, and students need to be able to perform several consecutive steps to find a solution. 2 When complex math procedures are being taught, students often lose focus and become distracted during the lesson. As a result, he or she may miss important steps in the problem-solving process, and later struggle with math on their own. Math always builds upon previous concepts Math is built on continuous learning. If a student didn’t fully understand a previous lesson’s concept, they are likely to struggle when newer concepts are introduced. 3 Similarly, to do algebra, students need to be comfortable with multi-step arithmetic (演算). Unfortunately, many struggling students feel hard or embarrassed asking questions in class or at school. Thus, Math concepts are not so well-mastered. Concepts are learned, but not understood Often students know how to perform an operation from repetition, but don’t really understand the meaning behind it. We know times-table memorization has always been a staple of elementary school curriculum. However, a student may only know that “4×4 =16” because he or she memorized it, and not because they fully understand the concept of multiplication. 4 Lack of practice or patience 5 Others may not realize they need more time reviewing certain areas. Sometimes a student will feel like they understand a concept, but when attempting to do a problem themselves, they don’t know how to begin (or end up struggling through the process). Students will often feel confident after watching their teacher explain the lesson in class, only to find that doing it independently can be more challenging. Actually, it takes practice and patience to be better at it! A．Some students don’t believe they can learn math well. B．To reduce fractions, students need to know division first. C．This requires staying actively focused on the task at hand. D．The following strategies may help you one way or another. E．Take a look at common reasons students struggle with math. F．Thus, they cannot manage more complex and challenging problems. G．Many students simply don’t spend enough time practicing math concepts. 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学生学数学有困难的四个原因。 1．根据前文“Mathematics is often considered one of the most challenging subjects for students. Recent surveys report that 37% of teens found math to be harder than other subjects.(数学通常被认为是学生最具挑战性的科目之一。最近的调查报告显示，37%的青少年认为数学比其他科目更难)”和下文分段讲述的五个学习数学的困难可知，空处应承上启下，引出学习数学有困难的原因，E项“看看学生在数学上遇到困难的常见原因。”符合题意。故选E。 2．根据小标题“Attention difficulties(注意力困难)”和空前的“Math often involves multi-step problems, and students need to be able to perform several consecutive steps to find a solution.(数学通常涉及多步问题，学生需要能够进行几个连续的步骤来找到解决方案)”可知，本段主要讲述的是注意力方面的困难，前面说数学常常需要进行多步才能解决问题，这里应说学生需要集中注意力，C项“这需要积极专注于手头的任务。”符合题意。故选C。 3．前文“If a student didn’t fully understand a previous lesson’s concept, they are likely to struggle when newer concepts are introduced.(如果学生没有完全理解上一课的概念，当引入新的概念时，他们可能会遇到困难)”讲述了不理解前面概念会导致学习后面概念有困难，后文“Similarly, to do algebra, students need to be comfortable with multi-step arithmetic (演算). (同样，要做代数，学生需要熟悉多步演算)”列举了学习代数前需要先熟悉多步演算，Similarly是关键词，说明空处应列举关于学习某概念前需要首先学习某知识的例子，B项“为了通分，学生需要先知道除法。”符合题意。故选B。 4．前文“However, a student may only know that “4×4 =16” because he or she memorized it, and not because they fully understand the concept of multiplication.(然而，学生可能只知道“4×4=16”，因为他或她记住了它，而不是因为他们完全理解乘法的概念)”讲述了学生记住了乘法表的内容，但并不理解概念，这里应进一步说学生做进行更难的数学题，F项“因此，他们无法处理更复杂、更具挑战性的问题。”符合题意。故选F。 5．根据小标题“Lack of practice or patience(缺乏练习或耐心)”可知，本段主要讲述一些学生学不会数学是因为缺乏练习或耐心，G项“许多学生根本没有花足够的时间练习数学概念。”符合题意。故选G。 Passage 2 （23-24 高二上・四川宜宾叙州第二中学校・期末） How adversity(逆境) makes you stronger When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth. 6 Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways. 7 Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event: spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength. They build self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the confidence in your ability to overcome challenges and succeed. I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague’s arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain’s reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived. 8 They help you treat stress as a challenge. 9 Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge. With a challenge response? you get additional energy and feel focused instead of being fearful. 10 Your past struggles, even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you’re faced with. A．They help you find the good. B．They can bring growth after sufferings. C．People have a healthier physical response to stress. D．If your world feels out of control right now, just stay relaxed. E．The fact is that we can become stronger after a difficult situation. F．How you think about stress matters extremely in terms of how you process it. G．That made my brain think about what other tough challenges I could conquer. 【答案】6．E 7．B 8．G 9．F 10．D 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明，过去的逆境可以在三个方面帮助你变得更强大。 6．上文“When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth.”（当面临危机时，我们很难想象这种经历最终会带来某种类型的增长。）引出话题，说明很难想象在逆境中得到某些增长。下文“Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways.”（研究表明，过去的逆境可以在三个方面帮助你变得更强大。）提到过去的逆境在三个方面帮助你变得更强大。可知，为语意的转折，可推知，空格处内容为困境可以让我们变得更强大。结合选项E项The fact is that we can become stronger after a difficult situation.（事实是，我们可以在困难的情况下变得更强大。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 7．由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event: spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength.”（不愉快后的成长是指在经历了重大压力事件后的积极变化。研究人员发现，人们在经历压力事件后倾向于报告两个共同的主题：精神成长和个人力量的增强。）可知，本段陈述了逆境有助于我们成长。结合选项B项They can bring growth after sufferings.（他们可以在苦难后带来成长。）意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选B项。 8．由该空位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague’s arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain’s reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived.”（我曾经参加过一个与士兵一起的节目，在那里我要在数百名观众面前跳舞。当我跳舞的时候，我的恐慌症发作了，我不得不抓住我同事的胳膊才能撑过去。奇怪的是我的大脑对这项运动的反应。虽然这真的是一次不愉快的经历，但我坚持下来了。）可知，讲的是一次不愉快的经历。结合选项G项That made my brain think about what other tough challenges I could conquer.（这让我的大脑开始思考我还能战胜哪些艰难的挑战。）中的That指代的是上文作者参加项目的经历，与上文内容相关，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 9．上文“They help you treat stress as a challenge.”（他们帮助你把压力当成挑战。）提到把压力当成挑战。下文“Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge.”（一些人认为压力是一种威胁，而另一些人则能够将其视为一种挑战。）说明两种不同看待压力的观点。故可推断空格处内容为如何看待压力非常重要。结合选项F项How you think about stress matters extremely in terms of how you process it.（你如何看待压力对你如何处理压力非常重要。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选F项。 10．根据下文“Your past struggles, even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you’re faced with.”（你过去的挣扎，即使是逆境中的小挣扎也能帮助你走出困境。）可知，讲的是逆境中的小挣扎也能帮助你走出困境。结合选项D项If your world feels out of control right now, just stay relaxed.（如果你现在觉得你的世界失控了，那就放松。）可知，与下文内容相关，下文是空格处内容的语意递进，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25 高二上・四川泸县第五中学・期末） There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying “no” to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone. 11   However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want! Pick the right time to approach the subject. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired. 12   Especially not if they’re upset at you. Maintain a calm tone during the talk. Asking for something can be an emotional experience: you might feel passionate about the thing you’re asking for, and you might feel angry or frustrated if your parents say no. 13   Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally. Be patient and give them time to think about it. 14   Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have. Let them know that you want to discuss this as mature, responsible adults and you are willing to work through any potential issues. Say it like that, and you’ll be sure to impress them with how well-rounded and balanced your argument is. 15   Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a pet requires. Having a good understanding of what you’ll be asking your parents about will help you present your case successfully; by knowing your topic inside and out, you’ll have confident answers for their (many, many) questions. A．Understand your parents’ current feelings about your requirement. B．Do background research on the thing you want. C．You’d better never force them to give you an answer right away. D．You should try to keep your head all the way. E．You won’t always be able to persuade your parents to see things your way. F．It’s good to discuss with your parents about what you need at that time. G．Don’t bring it up when they’re not in a good mood. 【答案】11．E 12．G 13．D 14．C 15．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了帮助说服父母同意自己想要的东西的几个方法。 11．根据下文“However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want!(然而，你可以做很多简单的事情来帮助你说服你的父母给你想要的)”可知，空处与下文是转折关系，是描述无法说服父母的情况，E项“你不可能总能说服你的父母站在你的角度看问题”符合语境，故选E。 12．根据本段主题句“Pick the right time to approach the subject.(选择合适的时间接近主题)”以及空前“It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired.(当父母一方看起来有压力、心烦意乱或疲惫时，向父母要东西并不是一个好主意)”可知，本段是说向父母提要求的合适时机，G项“不要在他们心情不好的时候提起这件事”符合语境，故选G。 13．根据本段主题句“Maintain a calm tone during the talk.(在谈话中保持冷静的语气)”以及下文“Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally.(研究表明，和平理性的谈判更容易成功)”可知，本段是说要保持冷静，D项“你应该一直保持头脑清醒”符合语境，故选D。 14．根据本段主题句“Be patient and give them time to think about it.(要有耐心，给他们时间去思考)”以及下文“Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have.(告诉他们如果有任何问题或担心，几个小时或几天后再来找你)”可知，本段是说要给父母时间思考，C项“你最好不要强迫他们马上给你答复”与本段语义一致，故选C。 15．根据下文“Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a pet requires.(在你去找父母要一只新的小狗之前，确保你确切地知道收养宠物需要什么)”可知，本段是说在向父母提要求前做好背景调查，B项“对你想要的东西做背景调查”适合作为主题句，故选B。 Passage 4 （24-25 高二上・四川泸县第二中学・期末） Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding(有回报的). They are becoming young adults. Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts(爆发) with their families during this period of life. 16 Here are some ideas that may create positive(积极的) experiences for teens and parents. Have meals together. Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 17 Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years. 18 As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder to find time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance. Remember that no matter how big their problems seem, what most teens want is love and support. Help them connect with their families and communities. During these years, help teens learn that their words and actions mater. 19 Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home. Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activity. Find time to have fun together! What do you both enjoy? Playing chess? Going to the ballet? Volunteering in your community? Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too. 20 A．Talk with your teen. B．Never try to control your child. C．Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe. D．Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued. E．This can be hard to do with busy schedules, but it is important. F．Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports. G．But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard times. 【答案】16．G 17．E 18．A 19．F 20．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了牢固的亲子关系可以帮助青少年顺利度过叛逆期，并提出一些可以为青少年和父母创造积极体验的建议。 16．根据前文“Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts with their families during this period of life.(在这一时期，几乎所有的青少年都会与家人发生一些行为上的冲突。)”提及了青少年的“叛逆期”，因此可推知，设空句应呼应话题，继续讲述叛逆期，且提及如何度过这一时期。选项G“But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard times.(但是牢固的关系可以帮助青少年和他们的父母度过困难时期。)”中的“hard times”呼应了话题“叛逆期”，讲到了方法“牢固的父母子女关系”，且在逻辑上与前文构成转折。故选G项。 17．根据主旨句“Have meals together.”可知，该段的核心是“一起吃饭”，后文“Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.(一起吃饭为父母和孩子提供了一种分享他们心中所想的方式。它通过建立信任和理解来拉近家庭关系，帮助引导孩子度过青少年时期的挑战。)”则具体解释了家人一起吃饭对于青少年的重要性，因此设空句应是论点句，包含“一起吃饭很重要”这一结论。选项E“This can be hard to do with busy schedules, but it is important.(这在繁忙的日程中可能很难做到，但这很重要。)”中“This”呼应前文，且“but”句为后文的“总结”，与后文构成解释关系。故选E项。 18．设空句为该段主旨句。根据后文“As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder to find time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance.(随着青少年独立意识的发展，找时间交谈变得越来越困难。在车里聊天，一起洗碗的时候聊天，或者任何有机会的时候聊天。)”可知，该段的核心为“与孩子聊天”。选项A“Talk with your teen.(和你的孩子谈谈。)”贴合该段主旨。故选A项。 19．根据后文“Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home.(其他人可能通过精神社区或在家里承担更多的责任而找到联系。)”提到了其他人的做法，因此，与“Others”相呼应，设空句应是“Some”。选项F“Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports.(一些青少年通过参加乐队或团队运动学会了这一点。)”中出现了“Some”，与后文构成并列关系，且“this”与前文“help teens learn that their words and actions mater(帮助青少年认识到他们的言行很重要)”相呼应。故选F项。 20．该段的主旨句“Find time to have fun together!(找时间一起玩!)”提到了“欢乐时光”，因此设空句应以此为话题，且前文“No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too.(没有人希望自己所爱的人只关注不该做的事情。青少年也是如此。)”提到了青少年也不喜欢被否定，那么设空句应讲述他们喜欢什么。选项D“Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.(一起放松能让他们感受到被爱和被重视。)”中“Relaxing together”呼应主题，且解释了青少年喜欢“被爱”和“被重视”。故选D项。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25 高二上・四川泸州江阳泸州高级中学校・期末） As technology becomes an inseparable part of our daily lives, it is crucial for educators to teach children safe tech habits from a young age. 1 .

Learning how to fall safely in the course of skateboarding will keep you safer and relatively pain-free. In skateboarding, falling is a big part. It’s unavoidable. 6 Roll to land on your shoulder or back instead. When you fall, roll to land on your shoulder or back instead, tucking (收拢) in your elbows. The roll takes the energy out of the fall. If you can, roll with the fall — land on your shoulder and let the force of the fall play itself out with the roll. 7 Keep your limbs loose to absorb the fall. Stiffening up (变得僵硬) increases the risk of breaking bones. Learn to run out of tricks. This is where you try something thrilling and the board goes wrong and you catch yourself running. 8 But if you do this right, you’ll get out of a lot of falls! Wear kneepads on ramps (斜坡). If you are skateboarding on ramps, wearing kneepads can keep you safer from injuries. Teach yourself to always fall to your knees and slide down the ramp. 9 Just run up the side of a ramp, drop to your knees and then slide down. Practice like this for a while to get it in your head. 10 Your instincts (直觉) when you fall are to throw your hands out. But you shouldn’t do that when there’s concrete below you. You could break your wrists. You can buy wrist guards for skateboarding. These can help if you’re afraid of catching yourself with your hands.

Even if you want to move forward with your life, you may not know where to start. 11 Once you understand this, you can start taking the first few steps towards a better tomorrow. Let go of past failures and pain. Always thinking painful things from the past will prevent you from moving forward in the future. 12 For example, a child may burn himself by touching a hot stove and thereby learn not to touch other hot stoves, but that experience does not need to prevent that child from touching and exploring other parts of his world. Quit running away. Many problems are unavoidable in your life. The more time you waste on running away, the less time you have for moving forward. If there are problems between you and someone else, try talking to that person. 13 Put down the excuses. There are often excuses that may prevent you from achieving a specific goal. 14 If you have similar excuses that hinder (阻碍)  you, you must tell yourself that it must stop. 15 Be honest with yourself when identifying the fear that holds you back. Many people are troubled by the fear of the unknown. Change is a terrible thing — a thing can become better or worse. But if you handle it properly, you will benefit greatly. A．Realize and control your fears. B．Release the need for explanations. C．However, you can throw them away through effort. D．Things often happen in life without reason or sense. E．Perhaps your relationship will become stronger after that. F．You can learn from past mistakes so that you won’t make the same ones. G．So you need to know which behaviors you must give up before you move forward. 【答案】11．G 12．F 13．E 14．C 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在人生的道路上会有一些不可避免的麻烦，放弃一些行为能让我们继续前行，何乐而不为呢！ 11．根据空前的“Even if you want to move forward with your life, you may not know where to start.(即使你想继续你的生活，你也可能不知道从哪里开始)”可知，有些人在遇到困难后不知道从哪里开始继续前行；又根据下文可知，作者提出的几点建议皆是关于放弃不好的做法和习惯，所以空后中的指示代词“this”指代应摒弃的做法。G项“So you need to know which behaviors you must give up before you move forward.(所以你需要知道在你继续前进之前你必须放弃哪些行为)”符合语境。故选G。 12．根据小标题“Let go of past failures and pain.(放下过去的失败和痛苦)”可知，作者建议放下过去的失败和痛苦；又根据空后的例子可知，我们要从过去的错误中吸取教训，这样以后就可以不犯相同的错误。F项“You can learn from past mistakes so that you won’t make the same ones.(你可以从过去的错误中吸取教训，这样你就不会再犯同样的错误)”符合语境。故选 F。 13．根据空前“If there are problems between you and someone else, try talking to that person.(如果你和别人之间有问题，试着和那个人谈谈)”可知，与他人交谈之后，你们的关系可能会变得更牢固。E项“Perhaps your relationship will become stronger after that.(也许在那之后你们的关系会变得更牢固)”符合语境。故选E。 14．根据小标题“Put down the excuses.(放下借口)”可知，本段主要谈论放下阻碍你前进的借口。空前的“There are often excuses that may prevent you from achieving a specific goal. (经常会有借口阻止你实现一个特定的目标)”可知，通常有一些借口可能会阻止你实现一个特定的目标；再根据空后的“If you have similar excuses that hinder you, you must tell yourself that it must stop.(如果你有类似的借口阻碍你，你必须告诉自己它必须停止)”可知，如果你有类似阻碍你的借口，你一定要告诉你自己它必须停止。C项“However, you can throw them away through effort. (然而，你可以通过努力摆脱它们)”能够承接上文，引出下文。故选C。 15．根据本段的首句“Be honest with yourself when identifying the fear that holds you back.(在发现阻碍你前进的恐惧时，要诚实地面对自己)”可知，在确认阻碍你前行的恐惧时要诚实地面对自己；又根据“But if you handle it properly, you will benefit greatly.(但如果你处理得当，你会受益匪浅)”可知，如果能够合理掌控这种恐惧你会受益匪浅。identify与realize为同义词， handle与control为同义词；A 项“Realize and control your fears. (认知并掌控你的恐惧)”符合语境。故选 A。 Passage 4 （24-25 高二上・四川绵阳南山中学・期末） How to Show Your Friends You Love Them Psychologists have long thought that humans need meaningful social connections to survive. In fact, it’s connected to our mental and physical happiness. 16 . Here are some tips on how to strengthen the existing friendships in our lives. Give them your skills and talents Being generous (慷慨的) with your friends — sharing your time, attention or resources with them — is an easy way to keep your friendships. People want to be and stay friends with people who value them, and generosity is a way to express that. Think about what your skills and talents are. 17 . Shower them with admiring We often think of admiring as the sort of love we show in romantic relationships. But admiring is more than holding hands and kissing. It’s about communicating love and appreciation. There are many ways you can show love to your friends. 18 . Tell them when you think of them in passing. These simple acts provide a layer of safety in the relationship. 19 Think about how good it feels to tell a friend you secretly like a trashy TV show and hear them answer “me too!” We feel a deeper connection to our friends when our vulnerability (脆弱) is met with support. It means they accept us for who we really are, the good and the bad. Don’t sweep your disagreements under the rug (毯子) 20 . People often see them as something that’s supposed to be fun and lighthearted, or less formal than romantic or family relationships, so they downplay problems when they arise. But being able to deal with disagreements with friends in a healthy way can strengthen your friendships. Try talking about them. A．Sing high praise for them B．Say your struggles and joys C．Tell them how much they mean to you D．It can be scary to be open with our feelings E．And find a way to turn that into a generous act F．It’s hard to deal with disagreements in friendships G．Knowing that we have people to care for us makes us feel confident 【答案】16．G 17．E 18．C 19．B 20．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何向朋友展示爱的方法。 16．根据上文“Psychologists have long thought that humans need meaningful social connections to survive. In fact, it’s connected to our mental and physical happiness. (心理学家长期以来一直认为，人类需要有意义的社会关系才能生存。事实上，它与我们的身心幸福有关)”以及空后“Here are some tips on how to strengthen the existing friendships in our lives.(以下是一些关于如何加强我们生活中现有友谊的建议)”可知，空处进一步说明人类需要有意义的社会关系——人和人之间的友谊——的原因。G项“知道有人关心我们会让我们感到自信”符合语境，G项中的“have people to care for ”和下文中的“the existing friendships ”相呼应。故选G。 17．根据上文“Being generous (慷慨的) with your friends — sharing your time, attention or resources with them — is an easy way to keep your friendships. (慷慨地对待你的朋友——与他们分享你的时间、注意力或资源——是保持友谊的简单方法)”以及“Think about what your skills and talents are. (人们希望与重视他们的人成为朋友，并与他们保持友谊，慷慨是表达这一点的一种方式。想想你的技能和天赋是什么)”可知，前文说明我们需要和朋友分享我们的时间，注意力等，然后想想你有什么天赋和技能，这就说明空处需要解释为什么需要这些技能和天赋能——我们可以利用这些天赋和技能去帮助我们巩固友谊。E项“想办法把它变成一种慷慨的行为”符合语境。E项中的that指代前文中的skills and talents。故选E。 18．根据空前“There are many ways you can show love to your friends. (有很多方法可以向你的朋友表达爱)”以及空后“Tell them when you think of them in passing.(当你想到他们时，告诉他们)”可知，空处是在陈述向你的朋友表达爱的方式。C项“告诉他们他们对你有多重要”符合语境。故选C。 19．根据“It means they accept us for who we really are, the good and the bad.(这意味着他们接受我们的真实身份，好的和坏的)”可知，本段主要讲述只有当朋友接受我们的优点，也接受了我们缺点，我们的友谊才能巩固。B项“说出你的挣扎和喜悦”适合作本段的小标题。故选B。 20．根据下文“People often see them as something that’s supposed to be fun and lighthearted, or less formal than romantic or family relationships, so they downplay problems when they arise.(人们通常认为他们是一种有趣、轻松的东西，或者比浪漫或家庭关系更不正式，所以当问题出现时，他们会轻描淡写)”可知，空处说明为什么人们在分歧出现时去避开他们的原因，那就是很难去处理这些分歧。F项“友谊中的分歧很难处理”符合语境。F项中的 disagreements呼应小标题中的disagreements。故选F。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 七选五 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25 高二上・四川成都邛崃第一中学校・期末） How to Make Friends Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with difficulties better.

Passage 2 （23-24 高二上・四川叙永第一中学校・期末） How to Welcome Change in Your Life Do you embrace (欣然接受) the road you are now on or resist and avoid change at all costs when a recent event has shaken you greatly? 6 Don’t react. What do we do when we don’t know what to do? First, stop, take a deep breath and don’t do anything. 7 It is having faith and trusting what you do know in the unknown. Reflect on the past. Another activity is to recall times in your life when you were faced with an unknown. Then, think about how you handled the situation. 8 Use your past experiences to bring you strength, and to remind you what you are capable of. Make conscious decisions. 9 However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace. Go over you list of what ifs and make a more balanced list of the best and worst situations possible. Then talk to loved ones about what you would do in each situation and the choices you do have. 10 We often see fears as our greatest enemy, yet they provide us with an enormous opportunity for self-growth. What if we were to see them as friends who want to help us become a better person? Let your fears help you instead of hurting you. Then, write down what comes to you.

Passage 3 （23-24 高二上・四川宜宾叙州第一中学校・期末） Reading is an important part of learning English, but many students find it difficult. This collection of tips can be of great help to you. Read for the main ideas Read the text a first time to understand the main idea, and don’t look up new words. 11 Use Context Context refers to words and situations around a word you don’t understand. Look at the example sentence： I went to the shlumping to buy some chitla for dinner. What’s ‘schlumping’? - It must be a store because you bought something there. What’s ‘chitia’? - 12 Use Your Own Language Ask yourself this question：Do I read every word in my own language when I am reading a schedule, or summary? 13 Reading in English is like reading in your native language. It is not always necessary to read and understand every word in English. Understand Different Reading Skills Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading. 14 Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. 15 Run your eyes over the text for the specific piece of information. Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject, including reading longer texts for pleasure. Intensive reading is used on shorter texts to get specific information, including close accurate reading for detail. You can use these reading skills to improve other areas of English learning, such as pronunciation, grammar and increasing vocabulary. A．The answer is most definitely：No! B．You may not be so sure about the answer. C．You can usually understand the general idea. D．Skimming is used to quickly gather the main idea. E．It must be food because you are going to eat it for dinner. F．Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. G．Words you don’t know may contain important information. Passage 4 （23-24 高二上・四川泸县第一中学・期末） Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language? The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. 16 . This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication. Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry. Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth? Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious? In most cultures, these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common. But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. 17 . In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand. In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). 18 . So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. 19 . No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another. 20 , you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay! A．It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture. B．So, the next time you decide to travel to another country C．When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight. D．They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. E．Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad. F．Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication. G．A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake. Passage 5 （23-24 高二上・四川合江马街中学校・期末） New Year’s resolutions you should be making about time management You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding. That’s why as a time management coach, I recommend that you do the opposite: 21 Know less It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone. 22 Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly. Resolution: I resolve to be less aware of “interesting” things so I can be interested in and present for the people around me. Care less This one may sound a bit unfeeling.You may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well. 23 What that means is that you say “No” a lot. Here is a way: I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day. 24 Being able to unplug from work in my personal time increases my ability to serve my clients well when I’m in the office. Resolution: 25 Consequently, I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me. Is it easy to do less? No. But will it lead you to the best outcomes in the end? Yes. You’ll thank yourself for it at the end of 2020. A．Resolve to do less. B．Contact people face to face. C．I have to manage my time strategically. D．But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7. E．Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether. F．I resolve to care less about what others want me to do. G．But you can’t care about everyone who wants your attention professionally. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25 高二上・四川眉山仁寿第一中学校（北校区）・期末） How to Stay Safe on a Field Trip Many parents are relaxed and even want their children to go on field trips. 1 Here are some tips to help students stay secure during their field trip adventures. Stay physically safe It’s crucial to ensure that students memorize their parents’ phone numbers and keep them handy in case of an emergency. When crossing roads, they must practice road safety by looking both ways and walking with caution. 2 In this way, they stay within the designated areas and with the group. Keep hygiene (卫生) while dining out Students should be mindful of their food choices and avoid having too much unhealthy food, especially when away from home. It’s essential to tell their teacher and bring allergen-free snacks if they have food allergies. 3 For example, washing hands before and after meals, and using soap in public places to minimize the risk of exposure to germs. 4 When using public restrooms on their field trips, students should use disposable seat covers or toilet paper to reduce exposure to bacteria. Practicing good restroom hygiene is also important to minimize the risk of spreading illness to others. They can also wear a mask to stay furthest away from sickness, and inform a teacher to receive proper assistance if they feel unwell. 5 By sticking to these safety tips, students can have a safe and enjoyable field trip experience. A．Try to avoid sickness. B．Use public restrooms properly. C．Others may be concerned about the safety on the trips, though. D．It’s important to follow safety manners to ensure a smooth outing. E．On the whole, students should maintain good cleanliness practices. F．Some parents, however, are doubtful about the benefits of the trips. G．Besides, students should ask for permission before going anywhere else. Passage 2 （24-25 高二上・四川泸州老窖天府中学・期末） Why is a compliment so impactful? One of the most important things to humans is to feel valued and respected by others, says Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist, who has researched compliments. According to her research, people feel “significantly better” after both giving and receiving a compliment. 6 “You handled that situation so well.” Bohns recently used her favorite compliment when she saw a server address a difficult situation with a customer at the bar. “I like it so much because you use it in anxious moments where the other person is often unsure of whether they handled a situation OK,” she says. In situations that call for a compliment, don’t second-guess yourself. Give your compliments generously. 7 That concern is unfounded. “ 8 ” This compliment — one of Bohns’ favorites — works well among romantic partners and close family members. “It’s a beautiful way to highlight how their presence turns life into something meaningful, despite boring routines of our everyday lives,” she says. If you’re afraid that giving a compliment like this will feel strange, you’re not alone. 9 If it makes you personally feel like the bar is lowered for you to give a compliment if you write it down, or if you practice saying it out loud or giving your pet cat the compliment first, do that. “Hey, great dress!” Feel free to compliment strangers. In Bohns’ research, students on a college campus were told to approach a stranger of the same gender and compliment them-about, for example, their nice shirt. Before heading out, the study participants tended to underestimate their positive effect while overestimating how annoying it would be. Across all contexts, strangers are more likely to be pleased than confused. Plus, who knows? 10 A．I love the way you bring out the best in people. B．Respect is essential when you deliver compliments. C．One way to overcome this fear is to do a practice run. D．You make even ordinary moments feel extraordinary. E．You might make a new friend in addition to making someone’s day. F．With that in mind, we asked her to share some of her favorite compliments. G．People sometimes worry that they’re going over and will start to sound insincere. Passage 3 （24-25 高二上・四川自贡第一中学校・期末） It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights. However, don’t let the cold weather prevent you from accomplishing your fitness goals. 11 . Dress for the weather. 12 . Wind chills can easily go through thinner items of clothes. If your clothes are wet on a rainy day, you’ll have no protection from the icy temperature. So it is crucial to wear a windproof or water-resistant outer layer. Protect your head and hands. While only about 10 percent of your body heat escapes from your head, as opposed to 70 percent as previously believed, wearing a hat in cold weather is still important. 13 . Choose a pair with touchscreen fingers to avoid frequently taking them off and on. Stay hydrated (含水的). You may feel like you sweat less in cold weather, but don’t be fooled. You still need to drink up. 14 . Stay hydrated by drinking room temperature water before, during and after your workout. 15 . “Imagine a rubber band... it’s flexible, bendy (易弯曲的) and pulls right back to its shape. Now imagine that same rubber band, but frozen. If you try to pull too hard before it’s unfrozen, it’ll break suddenly,” explains trainer Ashley Wilking. Your muscles are like rubber bands, you need to gradually wake them up to prevent injury. Start to heat up your large muscles with light stretching, jumping jacks and lunges indoors before heading outside. A．Do active warm-ups B．Exercise like a bendy rubber band C．Follow our expert tips to stay fit, warm and motivated this winter D．Your workout wear should be soft and flexible for you to stretch and exercise E．Wind chill and rain are key elements to consider for outdoor workouts in winter F．Your hands are another body part that are likely to feel the chill, so gloves are a must G．Losing much water increases your risk of injury and will slow down your performance Passage 4 （23-24 高二上・四川泸县第四中学・期末） Becoming Refreshed without sleeping Sometimes there is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and get a good night’s rest. 16 Once in a while you can get away with a sleepless night and still feel reasonably good by adjusting your meals and activities. 17 The last thing you want to do when you are tired is get warm and cozy, this will cause you to fall asleep. Keeping the air conditioner on will make you feel much more alert and refreshed. Eat small amounts. Eating small amounts of healthy food will help refresh you. Fruit and nuts are a good choice because they are nutritious and will energize you   18 Try to stick to low carbon meals to keep you going. Chewing gum after your snack or small meal will also help keep you awake. Keep it bright. When it is dark your body thinks it is time to go to sleep. Turn on lots of lights, which will trick your body into waking up and feeling better. 19 You get double the benefits if it is daytime. Take a break. Taking a little break will help you in the long run. Turn up some energizing music to get yourself positive. Relax and talk to a friend in person or on the phone for a few minutes. 20 A．Keep it cool B．Calm down and sleep C．Avoid big, heavy meals as they will make you tired D．Going outside whether it is day or night for some fresh air E．Missing sleep regularly can make you sick and should be avoided F．When you are tired, you may just want to sit around and do nothing G．Having a good time for a few minutes will refresh you quicker than anything else. Passage 5 （23-24 高二上・四川宜宾兴文第二中学校・期末） In recent years, more Chinese students have been choosing art school as their first choice when applying for universities overseas, according to the Report on Chinese Students’ Overseas Study in 2018. Anyone applying to art school should know that one’s portfolio （资历证明材料） is a crucial part of the application process. 21 Focus on original, recent work. Admissions officers see so many portfolios on a regular basis, so it’s important to make yourself stand out as an individual. 22 Presenting work that you’ve done within the last one or two years also provides a more relevant and accurate portrayal （描述） of your skills. 23 You don’t want to spread yourself too thin, but working with a variety of media and different techniques can convey that you are able to express yourself in diverse ways. Unless the school requires that only finished work be included in your portfolio, you should include images that reflect the progress of your work. 24 It gives admissions officers insight into the thought that has gone into the work. Make sure that your work shows your true talent. 25 Remember never try to make up some merits, which will in turn be a mirror of your dishonesty. However, it is always helpful to look at samples of other art portfolios to see their approach. A．Prepare your portfolio in different languages. B．Show a wide range of work in your portfolio. C．Be proud of what you submit and your own strengths. D．Why is a good portfolio important to your successful application? E．This may include images from a workbook behind the finished product. F．Here are some tips to help you through this process and put your best work out there. G．It’s more impressive to express your personal opinion rather than copying another’s work. Passage 6 （24-25 高二上・四川宜宾第三中学校・期末） Managing Conflict with Humor Laughter is a powerful tool. 26 Here’s how to use humor to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships. Make sure you’re both in on the joke. Humor can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. 27 If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”. When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual, it can damage the relationship. 28 Humor helps you face challenges in life. But there are times when humor is not healthy. For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships. Develop a smart sense of humor. Some find it easier than others to use humor, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humor. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously. After all, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. So, if you’re having a bad hair day, make a joke about it. 29 Tap into (发掘) your playful side. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humor. However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humor to manage conflict. The point isn’t to impress the other person, but simply to lighten the mood. 30 It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind. A．Some jokes are easy to understand. B．Avoid humor when facing challenges. C．Don’t use humor to cover up other emotions. D．So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person. E．Therefore, don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid. F．It brings people closer, managing conflict, and reducing tension.

Passage 7 （23-24 高二上・四川泸县第五中学・期末） By 2050 we’ll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 31 Teenagers will love it. Instead of putting an emoticon(表情符号)at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement. I’m talking about telepathy (心灵感应), really. We’ll still communicate the traditional way. 32 Our children will wonder: What is a keyboard? We will enter the age of the ”brain net". Medicine will develop fast, too. 33 , and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We’ll live with it. It will no longer be deadly. We won’t fear it like we used to. Technology will help in this respect. 34 Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies to discover cancer cells. Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.   35 . By 2050 I think we’ll be able to grow many of the important organs(器官)of the body and, rather than allow the organs we’re born with to become old and weak, well replace them. That’s all coming.

Recent surveys report that 37% of teens found math to be harder than other subjects. 1 Attention difficulties Math often involves multi-step problems, and students need to be able to perform several consecutive steps to find a solution. 2 When complex math procedures are being taught, students often lose focus and become distracted during the lesson. As a result, he or she may miss important steps in the problem-solving process, and later struggle with math on their own. Math always builds upon previous concepts Math is built on continuous learning. If a student didn’t fully understand a previous lesson’s concept, they are likely to struggle when newer concepts are introduced. 3 Similarly, to do algebra, students need to be comfortable with multi-step arithmetic (演算). Unfortunately, many struggling students feel hard or embarrassed asking questions in class or at school. Thus, Math concepts are not so well-mastered. Concepts are learned, but not understood Often students know how to perform an operation from repetition, but don’t really understand the meaning behind it. We know times-table memorization has always been a staple of elementary school curriculum. However, a student may only know that “4×4 =16” because he or she memorized it, and not because they fully understand the concept of multiplication. 4 Lack of practice or patience 5 Others may not realize they need more time reviewing certain areas. Sometimes a student will feel like they understand a concept, but when attempting to do a problem themselves, they don’t know how to begin (or end up struggling through the process). Students will often feel confident after watching their teacher explain the lesson in class, only to find that doing it independently can be more challenging. Actually, it takes practice and patience to be better at it! A．Some students don’t believe they can learn math well. B．To reduce fractions, students need to know division first. C．This requires staying actively focused on the task at hand. D．The following strategies may help you one way or another. E．Take a look at common reasons students struggle with math. F．Thus, they cannot manage more complex and challenging problems. G．Many students simply don’t spend enough time practicing math concepts. Passage 2 （23-24 高二上・四川宜宾叙州第二中学校・期末） How adversity(逆境) makes you stronger When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth. 6 Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways. 7 Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event: spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength. They build self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the confidence in your ability to overcome challenges and succeed. I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague’s arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain’s reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived. 8 They help you treat stress as a challenge. 9 Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge. With a challenge response? you get additional energy and feel focused instead of being fearful. 10 Your past struggles, even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you’re faced with.

Passage 3 （24-25 高二上・四川泸县第五中学・期末） There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying “no” to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone. 11   However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want! Pick the right time to approach the subject. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired. 12   Especially not if they’re upset at you. Maintain a calm tone during the talk. Asking for something can be an emotional experience: you might feel passionate about the thing you’re asking for, and you might feel angry or frustrated if your parents say no. 13   Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally. Be patient and give them time to think about it. 14   Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have. Let them know that you want to discuss this as mature, responsible adults and you are willing to work through any potential issues. Say it like that, and you’ll be sure to impress them with how well-rounded and balanced your argument is. 15   Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a pet requires. Having a good understanding of what you’ll be asking your parents about will help you present your case successfully; by knowing your topic inside and out, you’ll have confident answers for their (many, many) questions. A．Understand your parents’ current feelings about your requirement. B．Do background research on the thing you want. C．You’d better never force them to give you an answer right away. D．You should try to keep your head all the way. E．You won’t always be able to persuade your parents to see things your way. F．It’s good to discuss with your parents about what you need at that time.

Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts(爆发) with their families during this period of life. 16 Here are some ideas that may create positive(积极的) experiences for teens and parents. Have meals together. Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 17 Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years. 18 As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder to find time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance. Remember that no matter how big their problems seem, what most teens want is love and support. Help them connect with their families and communities. During these years, help teens learn that their words and actions mater. 19 Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home. Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activity. Find time to have fun together! What do you both enjoy? Playing chess? Going to the ballet? Volunteering in your community? Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too. 20 A．Talk with your teen. B．Never try to control your child. C．Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe. D．Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.

Learning how to fall safely in the course of skateboarding will keep you safer and relatively pain-free. In skateboarding, falling is a big part. It’s unavoidable. 6 Roll to land on your shoulder or back instead. When you fall, roll to land on your shoulder or back instead, tucking (收拢) in your elbows. The roll takes the energy out of the fall. If you can, roll with the fall — land on your shoulder and let the force of the fall play itself out with the roll. 7 Keep your limbs loose to absorb the fall. Stiffening up (变得僵硬) increases the risk of breaking bones. Learn to run out of tricks. This is where you try something thrilling and the board goes wrong and you catch yourself running. 8 But if you do this right, you’ll get out of a lot of falls! Wear kneepads on ramps (斜坡). If you are skateboarding on ramps, wearing kneepads can keep you safer from injuries. Teach yourself to always fall to your knees and slide down the ramp. 9 Just run up the side of a ramp, drop to your knees and then slide down. Practice like this for a while to get it in your head. 10 Your instincts (直觉) when you fall are to throw your hands out. But you shouldn’t do that when there’s concrete below you. You could break your wrists. You can buy wrist guards for skateboarding. These can help if you’re afraid of catching yourself with your hands.

Passage 3 （24-25 高二上・四川泸县第二中学等校・期末） As we all know, it’s easy to get yourself into trouble in life. Even if you want to move forward with your life, you may not know where to start. 11 Once you understand this, you can start taking the first few steps towards a better tomorrow. Let go of past failures and pain. Always thinking painful things from the past will prevent you from moving forward in the future. 12 For example, a child may burn himself by touching a hot stove and thereby learn not to touch other hot stoves, but that experience does not need to prevent that child from touching and exploring other parts of his world. Quit running away. Many problems are unavoidable in your life. The more time you waste on running away, the less time you have for moving forward. If there are problems between you and someone else, try talking to that person. 13 Put down the excuses. There are often excuses that may prevent you from achieving a specific goal. 14 If you have similar excuses that hinder (阻碍)  you, you must tell yourself that it must stop. 15 Be honest with yourself when identifying the fear that holds you back.

These simple acts provide a layer of safety in the relationship. 19 Think about how good it feels to tell a friend you secretly like a trashy TV show and hear them answer “me too!” We feel a deeper connection to our friends when our vulnerability (脆弱) is met with support. It means they accept us for who we really are, the good and the bad. Don’t sweep your disagreements under the rug (毯子) 20 .
