阅读理解七选五短文
Here's a riddle:What do traffic jams,long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have
in common?There is one answer.In the Digital Age,we're used to having what we need
immediately and right at our fingertips.However,research suggests that if we practised patience,
we'd be a whole lot better off.Here are several tricks we can learn to improve patience._
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits:Research shows it makes us happier,less stressed and even
more positive."Showing thankfulness can develop self-control,"said Ye Li,researcher at the
University of California.A simple gratitude exercise can help us practise patience.We'll take it!
You should make yourself wait.Immediate gratification(满足)may seem like the most“feel good”
option at the time,but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier
in the long run.And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practise.Start
with small tasks.Wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake.You'll soon find that the
more patience you practise,the more you start to apply it to other,more annoying situations.It
is important to accept the uncomfortable.So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is
the only state we will tolerate ()and when we experience something outside of our comfort
zone,we get impatient about the circumstances.You should learn to say to yourself,"This is
merely uncomfortable,not intolerable."You'll then gradually become more patient.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:35-39 FBDEG
1.35.F (They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience.
考点:段落主旨+上下文衔接
语境逻辑:前文提出谜语“交通堵塞、长队、等假期开始有什么共同点?”,后文回答“在数字时
代我们习惯即时满足,但研究表明练习耐心会更好”,可知此处需揭示三者共同特征与“耐心”
相关。
选项辨析:F项“它们都是我们需要多一点耐心的情况”直接回应谜语,且“all situations”对
应前文三个场景,“extra patience”引出下文主题,符合逻辑。
2.36.B (You'd better practise gratitude.)
考点:段落主旨句+上下文呼应
语境逻辑:后文围绕“Thankfulness”展开,提到其好处“让我们更快乐、压力更小、更积极”,
且有研究指出“表达感恩能培养自控力”,可知本段核心是“感恩”。
5
选项辨析:B项“You'd better practise gratitude'”(你最好练习感恩)作为段落主旨句,统领
下文对感恩与耐心关系的阐述,与后文“gratitude exercise”形成呼应。
3.37.D (It can also help us practise more patience.)
考点:上下文逻辑+代词指代
语境逻辑:前文讲感恩的诸多好处,后文引用研究员的话“表达感恩能培养自控力”,可知此处
应进一步说明感恩与耐心的关系。
选项辨析:D项“It can also help us practise more patience”中“It”指代前文“Thankful-
ness”,“also”承接前文好处,补充感恩对耐心的作用,符合递进逻辑。
4.38.E (Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend.
考点:举例论证+上下文衔接
语境逻辑:本段主题是“让自己等待”,建议从“small tasks'”开始练习,后文举例“等10分钟
再吃蛋糕”,可知此处需另一个“延迟满足”的例子。
选项辨析:E项“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend”(把看favorite节目
推迟到周末)与“Wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake”结构相似,均为具体等待
练习,符合“small tasks”的举例要求。
5.39.G (But we need to become comfortable with the uncomfortable to develop a
little more patience.)
考点:上下文逻辑+语义转折
语境逻辑:前文指出人们“认为舒适是唯一可容忍的状态,遇到不适就不耐烦”,后文建议对自
己说“这只是不舒服,并非无法容忍”,可知此处需转折,强调要接受不适。
选项辨析:G项“But we need to become comfortable with the uncomfortable to develop a little
more patience”中“But”转折前文对舒适的依赖,“become comfortable with the uncomfortable”
与后文“This is merely uncomfortable'”呼应,提出培养耐心需接受不适的观点。
