寒假作业08 必修一、二 阅读理解七选五
七选五阅读正文部分通常是一篇完整的文章,有五个句子被挖空,正文后给出七个选项,均为完整句子,要求考生根据文章结构、内容,选出正确的句子,填入相应的空白处。此题型拓宽了阅读理解能力考 察的深度和广度,考查学生句子和语篇两个层面的阅读能力和领悟能力,以及对整个语篇的衔接手段与连 贯性的洞察力。总之,七选五的题型难度要大于传统的阅读理解题,对学生把握文章结构脉络、逻辑思维 能力和语言综合运用能力,有更高的要求。
1、如果空白处在段首,则答案通常是段落主题句,做题时,应认真阅读本段内容,概括段落大意,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。
2、如果空白处在段中,段中的空白处多位于段落主题句之后,与上下文构成明显的逻辑关系:如常见的分述细化主题的并列关系、语义发生变化的转折关系,对上诉概念的解释说明、举例论证,这些句子起衔接上下文的作用,因此成为历年高考语篇考查的重中之重。
3、如果空白处在段尾,则答案通常是结论或概括性的语句。空白处前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。做题时注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接,即空白处起前后两段过渡作用。

1、 学校生活
Starting senior high school is an exciting new chapter in your life. However, the heavier workload and more challenging courses can make it stressful at first. The good news is that with the right strategies, you can quickly adjust and thrive academically. 1
2 Unlike junior high, senior high requires more independent learning. You should get in the habit of planning your study schedule in advance. For example, use a planner to note down homework deadlines and exam dates. This way, you won’t miss any important tasks or feel overwhelmed by last-minute struggling.
Active participation in class is another key tip. 3 Don’t be afraid to raise your hand and share your ideas. Teachers often appreciate students who engage with the lesson, and this also helps you stay focused and understand the material better. If you don’t understand something, ask questions immediately instead of waiting until it’s too late.
Developing effective note-taking skills is essential too. 4 Instead of writing down every word the teacher says, focus on key points and main ideas. You can use abbreviations or symbols to make note-taking faster. After class, review your notes and organize them to reinforce your memory.
Finally, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy meals, and exercising regularly are all important for your academic performance. 5 By balancing study and self-care, you’ll be able to stay energetic and perform well in senior high.
A.Here are some practical tips to help you.
B.Time management is crucial for success.
C.Senior high school is very different from college.
D.Taking notes can help you remember what you learn.
E.You should always finish your homework on time.
F.A tired body can’t focus on studying effectively.
G.It means paying attention and interacting with teachers and classmates.
2、 亲子关系
Getting Along Well with Parents
Parent-child relationship is one of the most important relationships in our growth. But sometimes, we may have small conflicts with our parents because of different ideas. In fact, as long as we master some simple methods, we can make the relationship more harmonious. Here are some practical tips to help you get along better with your parents.
1
When your parents talk to you, put down your phone or books, look them in the eyes, and listen to them carefully until they finish. This shows that you pay attention to what they are saying. Don’t interrupt them halfway or rush to argue. Listening not only helps you understand your parents’ thoughts, but also makes them feel respected.
Take the Initiative to Share Your Life
Parents always care about our daily life, but they may not know how to ask. 2 For example, when you get home, tell them interesting things at school, your interactions with classmates, or small difficulties you meet in study. Taking the initiative to share can shorten the distance between you, making parents feel you are willing to communicate with them instead of shutting them out.
Understand Parents from Another Perspective
Sometimes we feel that parents don’t understand us, but on the other hand, we may not think from their side either. 3 Their requirements may be a bit strict, but their starting point is always to make us better. When you doubt your parents’ actions, try to think: “If I were a parent, what would I do?” This may help reduce many unnecessary conflicts.
Express Your Ideas Politely
If your parents’ ideas are different from yours, don’t lose your temper or resist in silence. 4 For example, use sentences like “Mom/Dad, I know you care about me, but I think…” This way, you show respect for them and clearly express your own views. A polite way of communication is easier for parents to accept your ideas and avoid the escalation of conflicts.
Show Care Through Small Actions
Besides verbal communication, some small actions can also make parents feel your love. 5 For example, take the initiative to help Mom wash the dishes, give Dad a back rub, or say “Happy Birthday” to them on their special day. These little things are simple but can warm their hearts.
A.It’s important to keep calm and talk to them politely.
B.Learn to Listen Carefully.
C.They have more life experience and just want to protect you.
D.You don’t need to do big things to make them happy.
E.So take the first step to share your life with them.
F.Parents are always the people who love us the most in the world.
G.Try to talk to your parents every day, even for a short time.

What makes great storytelling for film? There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it.
One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming. ___1___ The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. ___2___ If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view.
With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. ___3___ Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. ___4__
As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? ___5_ That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistic from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to.
All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic.

1、 任务型阅读
Click for a Friend?
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters? This was how things worked not so very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships without missing a beat.
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?
It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.
On social media sites, people tend to post only good things that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn’t mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we are connected, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.

1、 学校生活
Starting senior high school is an exciting new chapter in your life. However, the heavier workload and more challenging courses can make it stressful at first. The good news is that with the right strategies, you can quickly adjust and thrive academically. 1
2 Unlike junior high, senior high requires more independent learning. You should get in the habit of planning your study schedule in advance. For example, use a planner to note down homework deadlines and exam dates. This way, you won’t miss any important tasks or feel overwhelmed by last-minute struggling.

Developing effective note-taking skills is essential too. 4 Instead of writing down every word the teacher says, focus on key points and main ideas. You can use abbreviations or symbols to make note-taking faster. After class, review your notes and organize them to reinforce your memory.
Finally, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy meals, and exercising regularly are all important for your academic performance. 5 By balancing study and self-care, you’ll be able to stay energetic and perform well in senior high.

2、 亲子关系
Getting Along Well with Parents
Parent-child relationship is one of the most important relationships in our growth. But sometimes, we may have small conflicts with our parents because of different ideas. In fact, as long as we master some simple methods, we can make the relationship more harmonious. Here are some practical tips to help you get along better with your parents.
1
When your parents talk to you, put down your phone or books, look them in the eyes, and listen to them carefully until they finish. This shows that you pay attention to what they are saying. Don’t interrupt them halfway or rush to argue. Listening not only helps you understand your parents’ thoughts, but also makes them feel respected.
Take the Initiative to Share Your Life
Parents always care about our daily life, but they may not know how to ask. 2 For example, when you get home, tell them interesting things at school, your interactions with classmates, or small difficulties you meet in study. Taking the initiative to share can shorten the distance between you, making parents feel you are willing to communicate with them instead of shutting them out.
Understand Parents from Another Perspective
Sometimes we feel that parents don’t understand us, but on the other hand, we may not think from their side either. 3 Their requirements may be a bit strict, but their starting point is always to make us better. When you doubt your parents’ actions, try to think: “If I were a parent, what would I do?” This may help reduce many unnecessary conflicts.
Express Your Ideas Politely
If your parents’ ideas are different from yours, don’t lose your temper or resist in silence. 4 For example, use sentences like “Mom/Dad, I know you care about me, but I think…” This way, you show respect for them and clearly express your own views. A polite way of communication is easier for parents to accept your ideas and avoid the escalation of conflicts.
Show Care Through Small Actions
Besides verbal communication, some small actions can also make parents feel your love. 5 For example, take the initiative to help Mom wash the dishes, give Dad a back rub, or say “Happy Birthday” to them on their special day. These little things are simple but can warm their hearts.
A.It’s important to keep calm and talk to them politely.
B.Learn to Listen Carefully.
C.They have more life experience and just want to protect you.
D.You don’t need to do big things to make them happy.
E.So take the first step to share your life with them.
F.Parents are always the people who love us the most in the world.
G.Try to talk to your parents every day, even for a short time.

1、 任务型阅读
Click for a Friend?
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters? This was how things worked not so very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships without missing a beat.
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?
It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.
On social media sites, people tend to post only good things that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn’t mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we are connected, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
