To err (犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 2 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3 You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 5 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A．A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B．Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C．They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D．It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E．It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F．Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G．Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 经典2：（2020年新课标Ⅰ） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 1 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. ● 2 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world. ●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 3 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? ＂That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.＂ ●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 4 ●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 5 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are? A．Feeling upset again? B．Where do you start? C．Nothing is too small to celebrate. D．Remember, you are only human. E．Set an intention for self-acceptance. F．Stop comparing yourself with others. G．When does the comparison game start? 2.为什么高考中发现自我，完善自我是重要的命题情境 ①贴合核心育人目标 高考的核心功能不仅是选拔知识掌握扎实的学生，更要落实“立德树人”的教育根本任务。这类命题跳出了单纯的知识点考查，引导学生跳出应试的局限，向内探索自身的兴趣特质、成长经历、价值取向，呼应了基础教育“培养完整的人”的育人导向，避免学生在长期应试中陷入“只刷题不关注自我”的误区。 ②考查真实的核心素养 这类情境学生无法靠死记硬背完成作答：需要结合自身的真实成长体验、对自我的独立思考输出内容，能精准考查学生的思辨能力、情感感知力、语言表达的真诚度，以及对自我与成长关系的认知水平，恰好对应语文、思想政治等多个学科要求考查的核心素养，能够区分出学生的真实认知层次。 ③呼应考生的成长阶段特征 参与高考的学生大多处于17-19岁的青年早期，正处于自我同一性建立的关键人生阶段，“我是谁、我想成为什么样的人、如何补足自己的不足实现成长”正是这个阶段青年最核心的人生议题。把这类内容作为命题情境，完全贴合考生的真实生活与思考语境，不会出现脱离学生经验的“偏题、怪题”，能让所有考生都有话可说，保障了考试的公平性与作答的亲切感。 ④引导长期的教育价值导向 这类命题会反向推动中学教育不再只盯着分数训练，而是引导学校和家长关注学生的自我认知教育，鼓励学生在学习过程中主动探索自身优势、接纳自身不足、规划成长方向，帮助学生在进入大学前建立清晰的自我认知，避免升学后陷入“不知道喜欢什么、未来要做什么”的迷茫，为学生的长期终身成长筑牢基础。 ⑤衔接时代对人才的要求 当下社会更需要有清晰自我定位、有自主成长意识的创新型人才，这类人才不会盲目跟随大流，能够结合自身特质规划发展路径，在个人领域深耕实现价值。高考设置这类命题情境，本质上也是为国家选拔出具备独立人格、成长内驱力的优质人才，呼应时代的发展需求。 进阶·解题技巧 7选5的解题技巧： 从隐性提示上掌握七选五的快捷解题技法： 策略1根据其他段落小标题的句式类型解题 如果题目设在段落标题处，考生可以通过其他段落小标题的句式类型来缩小选择范围。如果其他段落的小标题是祈使句，本段标题也应该是祈使句；如果其他段落的小标题是名词短语，本段标题也应该是名词短语。缩小选择范围之后，再依据段落内容来锁定答案。 策略2根据其他段首主旨句的句式类型解题 在很多“总—分”结构的文章中，每个段落都有主旨句，这些主旨句往往句式相同。因此，如果设题处在段首，并且是本段的主旨句，那么可以根据其他段落首句的结构并结合下文内容来确定答案。 策略3　根据语意和设空所在句子的残余部分的结构特征解题 近几年，高考命题的设空方式出现了一些新变化，打破了设空处是一个完整句子的命题窠臼，增添了对复合句中主、从句和并列分句的考查，所挖空的部分只是复合句的一部分，剩余的部分留在文中。针对这一类题目，可根据上下文的语意和设空所在句子的残余部分的结构特征来确定答案。 据“标点符号分析句间关系”快解 空后常见标点符号及思维趋向 空后是逗号 空后是句号 空后是破折号 空后是问号 此处要么填入复合句中的主句或从句，要么填入名词短语、介词短语或非谓语动词短语 要依据段落主题和上下文逻辑关系来解题 破折号后面的内容对设空处的内容进行解释和说明 此处应填入问句，这时可由下文的答语推知问句的内容 类型1空后是逗号 1．当设空处后面是逗号，且后面的句子是由从属连词引导的状语从句时，则设空处为主句。 2．当设空处后面是逗号，且后面的句子没有连词引导，则设空处多为状语从句。 类型2空后是句号 当设空处后面是句号时，考生要根据段落主题和前后句之间的逻辑关系来解题。 类型3空后是破折号 当设空处后面是破折号时，考生要根据破折号后面的内容来确定答案，因为它是对前面内容的解释和说明。 类型4空后是问号 当设空处后面是问号时，考生要根据后面对这个问题的回答来确定设空处问的是什么。 据“上下检索复现词汇”准解 类型1原词复现法 掌握特点 一个单词在一个语义场中以同样的形式反复出现，有时兼有词形的变化。如：上文中的says与下文中的said可以看成是原词复现 技巧运用 ①寻找空处前后句中的相同关键词；②根据语言习惯，第一句的宾语往往是第二句的主语，或者前后句有相同、重叠的词语 类型2代词复现法 掌握特点 为了避免与上文提到的名词重复，常用不同的代词指代上文提到的人、事物或事件 技巧运用 ①注意空格前后出现的代词，并确定其意义；②结合指代意义和单复数解题 it可指代单数名词、不可数名词或整个句子；they或them指代复数名词；one指代单数可数名词；that指代单数名词、不可数名词或句子；this 指代单数名词或句子；these或those指代复数名词。还有反身代词、关系代词等。 类型3派生复现法 掌握特点 派生词是由词根加词缀构成的词 技巧运用 在句中寻找这类词的复现 类型4同义复现法 掌握特点 上下文中有意义相同或相近的词、短语或同义句子。如：room与space 技巧运用 在句中寻找同义词的复现 类型5反义复现法 掌握特点 上下文中有互为相反词义的单词、短语或者意思相反的句子 技巧运用 在句中寻找反义词的复现 从设空位置上定位七选五的思考趋向 一、设空在段首——思考是“段落主题句”还是“承上启下句” 技巧1把握形似，确定段落标题句 技巧2根据一致，确定段落主题句 技巧3瞻前顾后，确定段落过渡句 二、设空在段中——明辨“七种逻辑关系” 段中题通常考查与前后句子之间的逻辑关系和上下文的衔接。考查要点有：总分关系、解释关系、例证关系、转折关系、因果关系、递进关系和并列关系。有时会出现下列衔接词汇或短语结构：first, second, then, next, later, soon, so, but, however, additionally, what's more, that is, namely, in other words, for one thing... for another等。这些词汇和短语结构在文章中起到提示逻辑关系的作用，是解题时需要重点关注的部分。 技巧1根据总分关系确定答案 技巧2根据解释关系确定答案 技巧3根据例证关系确定答案 技巧4根据转折关系确定答案 表示转折关系的连接词有：but, however/whereas, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever, on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise, not... but...等。 技巧5根据因果关系确定答案 表示因果关系的连接词有as a result/consequently, thus/therefore, so (such)．.. that...等。 技巧6根据递进关系确定答案 表示递进关系的连接词有：also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what's more, too, either, neither, not only... but also...等。 技巧7根据并列关系确定答案 设空在段尾——思考是“总结概括句”还是“过渡衔接句” 技巧1利用主题句或总结句确定答案 技巧2利用段落过渡句确定答案 技巧3利用补充信息句确定答案 拔高·模拟演练 1.（2027·江西多校联考） Graduating from college can be exciting, but it can also leave you uncertain. When other people seem to have clear plans and steady jobs, you may start to worry that you are falling behind. In fact, this confusion is common. 1 . The following suggestions may help you get through this stage calmly. Build a routine 2 . Without a schedule, it is easy to sleep late, spend too much time online, and feel increasingly unmotivated. A simple daily routine can help. Get up at a regular time, exercise a little and complete one important task. Clear structure helps you stay balanced and gives your days a sense of order. 3 You do not have to handle this period alone. Talk with friends, classmates, or family members about your worries and plans. Their advice may offer practical help, and their support can make you feel less anxious. Even if you do not want to discuss serious issues, simply spending time with other people can reduce loneliness and lift your mood. Create a goal A clear goal can give you direction when life feels uncertain. It might be passing an important exam, improving a skill, finishing a project, or saving money for a future plan. The goal does not need to be big. 4 . With something specific to work toward, you are more likely to stay focused and keep moving forward.

Developing emotional intelligence can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can become emotionally stronger and improve as a person. Communicate Your Needs 1 This happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it. This can be extremely annoying. Just as you cannot read someone else’s mind, they can’t read yours. You need to communicate your needs to others, so do they. Try Using “I” Statements When discussing your feelings, use “I” statements instead of “You” statements. For example, say “I feel hurt” rather than “You hurt me.” This approach allows you to express your emotions without placing blame, making it easier for others to understand your perspective. 2 Take Responsibility For Your Actions Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions. That is where they hurt others and themselves. If you have made a mistake and hurt others in the process, apologize immediately. It won’t bring your self-respect down. 3 You will become emotionally mature by doing this. Avoid Negative People You are known by the company you keep. It significantly influences your emotional well-being. 4 Distancing yourself from negative influences or emotionally controlling people is vital. Remember, you are the CEO of your life — choose your associates wisely. By applying these strategies, you can develop deeper into emotional maturity. 5 Start today, and embrace the journey toward becoming your best self. A．It will actually help you win recognition from others. B．It can be frustrating when people around you don’t understand what you mean. C．You can also earn respect of others and improve your intelligence. D．It also shows your emotional maturity by promoting gentle dialogue. E．Thus, surround yourself with supportive individuals who uplift you. F．People keep their emotions private and avoid communicating outside their circle. G．Ultimately, you will gain healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. 3.（2027·广西壮南宁市第三中学月考（一）） Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you want to show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. 1 . If you don’t express your ideas, no matter how great they are, they’re useless to you, your team and your organization. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. 2 . What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. 3 . People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever. 4 . People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. 5 . A．Time is precious. B．Make it a conversation. C．Speak with elegance and intention. D．However, being confident is not enough. E．This simple body trick can increase your confidence. F．Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible. G．This is how you show value and make a positive impression. 4.（2027届云南模拟试题（一）） How to Stay Focused When You Study You sit down with your books, ready to study, and ten minutes later you are checking your phone again. Sounds familiar? Staying focused is one of the biggest challenges for students. The good news is that focus is a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained. 1 First, make a clear plan for each study session. Instead of saying “I will study English tonight”, decide in advance what exactly you will do: review ten new words, read one passage, or finish five grammar exercises. 2 It also gives you a sense of achievement when you check off each task. Second, control your environment. Put your phone in another room or turn it off while studying. Many students believe they can resist the pull of a buzzing phone, but research shows that even the sight of a phone can reduce attention. 3 A tidy desk with only your materials on it helps too. Third, work in short blocks with breaks. A common method is to study for twenty-five minutes and then take a five-minute break. 4 During the break, stand up, stretch or look out of the window instead of picking up your phone again. Finally, accept that your mind will wander. It is natural for attention to drift, especially when a task is difficult. The key is not to fight it but to notice it and gently bring yourself back. 5 With practice, your “focus muscle” grows stronger, and studying becomes less tiring. A．Make sure to keep the phone out of sight. B．Here are some practical tips to help you improve it. C．This clear goal makes it easier to start and to stay on track. D．Each time you catch yourself drifting, start the task again calmly. E．Longer blocks work better for some students, and that is fine too. F．Do not study in the same place where you usually watch videos. G．Rewarding yourself after a long session can also keep you motivated. 5.（2027·江苏镇江市监测） Inspire Yourself: Simple Steps to Creative Renewal Oftentimes, people find themselves waiting for inspiration to strike like lightning from some external force. But this kind of waiting is useless, because true inspiration does not live outside of us. It comes from within. 1 The word “inspire” comes from a Latin word meaning “to breathe or blow into”. Each inhale (吸入) draws in vitality; each exhale (呼出) releases what we no longer need. 2 When we breathe with intention, we nourish all the neglected (被忽视的) corners of our inner and outer worlds. Nature has been a source of inspiration for people throughout time. 3 The important key here is that to be inspired by nature, you have to be in nature. Notice the weather, the feel of the air, or any smells. Inspiration is always around us, the key is to stay tuned in enough to become sensitive and aware of it. Furthermore, every time we have a new experience, we become more inspired. When we fall into routines, we are going through daily tasks without thinking. 4 Instead, you can listen to a new song, or visit a new place. This practice will stimulate different parts of your brain, and have you seeing and thinking in new ways. Finally, we often draw inspiration from observing and engaging in creative expression. Watching a play in person can be extremely rewarding. This kind of experience reaches deep within us, touching the core of what it truly means to be human. Observing others as they express themselves puts us more in touch with our own creative nature. 5 It is not uncommon to feel resistance before beginning any one of these things. However, once you take the first step and start, you will find that in that moment inspiration will bloom inside you. A．It is the first thing we do when we enter this world. B．Although this can be comforting, it can also be boring. C．As Van Gogh put it, “The sight of stars makes me dream.” D．In this way, inspiration is a cycle of receiving and releasing. E．It begins the moment we turn inward and choose to awaken it. F．This may mean writing a poem or story, drawing, painting, or dancing. G．As Mountain Dreamer says, “It’s unfamiliar things that stimulate my imagination.” 6.（2027·湖北黄石市质量监测） There is a moment in life when we realise that less truly is more. 1 She used just a glass cup, green leaves, and water boiled three times. “The third boil,” she said, “is when the water learns to breathe.” I thought her ridiculous. Now, I understand she spoke of a philosophy I took half a lifetime to appreciate — the profound power of simplicity. Modern life, however, makes it hard to live simply. We are flooded with notifications and expectations. Psychologists call this cognitive overload, where information exceeds our brain’s capacity. Decision-making deteriorates, creativity shrinks, and we feel exhausted. The accumulation of mess creates subtle but persistent anxiety. The more we accumulate, the more we have to carry, and what we carry eventually carries us. 2 Mastering the art of subtraction defines those we admire. Learning to do one thing at a time is a profound shift. Multitasking, which cognitive scientists say reduces efficiency by forty percent, is overrated. The single most radical act in a distracted world is to give your full attention to whatever you are doing. 3 Because it is easier to accumulate than to let go of habits that no longer serve us. Yet letting go is not a loss; it is a choice. Letting go is not failure; it is freedom. 4 Clear out one drawer, delete a useless app, or spend ten minutes in silence. In traditional Chinese painting, “leaving white” — the empty space — is as important as the brushstrokes. Life needs empty space too. Our capacity to appreciate depends on leaving some of it unexploited. Simplicity is a superpower in today’s world. When you simplify, you are not losing anything. You are making space for what actually matters. As my grandmother used to say, with a twinkle in her eye, “The tea is just leaves and water. But when you pay attention, it becomes something else entirely.” 5 A．However, simplicity requires courage. B．The more we win, the more anxious we feel. C．Perfection is achieved when nothing is left to add. D．That, in a nutshell, is what she meant: less is more. E．Start small and embrace the power of empty space. F．Adding more does not make life better; it makes it heavier. G．For me, it arrived when I watched my grandmother prepare tea. 7.（2027·山西太原市开学考） The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self. The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without patience, life is extremely frustrating. 1 Patience adds some ease and acceptance to your life. It’s important for inner peace. 2 If you are stuck in a traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking gets out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger scheme of things, being late is “small stuff”. Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practise periods. They are the periods of time that I set up in my mind to practise the art of patience. 3 You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it’s only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those qualities where success feeds on itself. Once you reach little milestone — five minutes of successful patience — you’ll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. 4 5 You will see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t “life or death” but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, you will see the same scene as an emergency complete with yelling, frustration and hurt feelings. A．You are more easily annoyed and bothered. B．Over time, you may even become a patient person. C．Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. D．Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. E．If you lack patience, you are destined to fail in what you are pursuing. F．It is generally believed that the quality of being patient is very difficult to develop. G．Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don’t like it. 8.（2027·河北沧州市第一中学开学） How to Regain Focus in a World of Distractions In an era of endless notifications, social media feeds, and multitasking demands, staying focused has become one of the biggest challenges for students and professionals alike. 1 You might look quickly at your phone during mid-task, zone out during a meeting, or switch between tabs so often that you lose track of your original goal. 2 Many people confuse “being busy” with “being focused.” Busyness means filling your time with tasks, often randomly; focus, by contrast, means directing your full mental energy to one single task at a time. A 2023 Stanford study found that heavy multitaskers are actually worse at blocking out irrelevant information and switching between tasks efficiently than those who focus deeply. The good news is that focus is a skill you can train, not a fixed quality. 3 Start by creating a distraction-free environment: put your phone on silent mode and out of sight, close unnecessary browser (浏览器) tabs, and find a quiet space to work. This physical setup signals to your brain that it’s time to concentrate. Next, practice the Pomodoro Technique, a proven method for building focus. Work in 25-minute bursts of intense focus, followed by a 5-minute break. 4 After four such cycles, take a longer 15-30 minute break to recharge. This structured approach prevents mental tiredness and makes large tasks feel manageable. Finally, train your brain to resist distractions. When an irrelevant thought or urge to check your phone arises, acknowledge it without acting on it, and then gently redirect your attention back to your task. 5 Over time, this mental discipline will strengthen your focus muscle, making it easier to stay on track even in chaotic environments. A．The short rest refreshes your brain effectively. B．Many people have trouble keeping focused on tasks. C．What is focus and how is it different from busyness? D．Focus improvement requires daily continuous practice. E．Can we take control of various interruptions around us? F．Multitasking is seemingly efficient but harmful to focus. G．This simple act helps improve your mental self-discipline. 9.（2027·辽宁大连育明高级中学开学考试） We often hear of people taking long journeys across the globe, with a handful even travelling into space. However, the most significant journey lies within us — the journey of self‑discovery. Without knowing who you truly are and what you desire from life, you may live in ignorance and confusion. Understanding your true self brings greater confidence and inner peace. 1 Here are four practical suggestions. Identify what you value about yourself What do you most like about yourself, something you are proud of? It could be about how creative you are, your ability to relate to others or about your goal‑keeping skills at football. 2 Figure out what awakens your passion What makes your eyes light up? 3 It could be performing on stage, helping your dad fix that bug in his computer or working on school projects. 4 Familiar surroundings feel secure, yet self‑exploration requires facing uncomfortable situations. Trying challenging activities enables you to observe your feelings, thoughts and reactions under pressure. You will grow with such self-awareness. Ask yourself who you want to be 5 Is it a person who leads with kindness, or one who never stops learning? Continuously questioning your life purpose in daily life encourages reflection and raises self‑awareness. The journey of self‑discovery never ends; it keeps evolving. Life experiences shape and develop us. As Arianna Huffington put it, “The journey towards self‑discovery is life’s greatest adventure.” A．Step out of your comfort zone B．How can you start this journey? C．What is your true purpose in life? D．Reflect on the person you hope to become. E．This will tell you where you get your true joy. F．It helps you recognize the abilities you hold dear. G．This could tell you who you really are, or want to be. 10.（2027·湖南多校联考） We are living in uncertain times, both globally and individually. And we are also facing rapid changes that test our ability to cope (处理). 1 The world-renowned psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl is perhaps best known for practicing “freedom of will” in terms of choosing an attitude when experiencing unavoidable or inescapable suffering. According to Frankl, no matter how desperate our situation in life may be, we always have the ultimate freedom to choose our attitude. 2 It can be viewed, moreover, as both the foundation of and the driver behind our ability to cope with and respond to whatever challenges in life come our way. Frankl relied upon an important belief system, or mindset (心态), to help him sustain an optimistic view even when he was facing extreme hardships in life. 3 Instead, we can exercise what he called the “last of the human freedoms”, the ultimate freedom to choose one’s attitude in response to whatever life circumstances we face. 4 Whether these situations involve personal or collective challenges, we can still come to understand that we are not simply at the mercy of what life brings; we involve ourselves in life and bring meaning to it. And it is by changing our mindset that we can respond to life. That is to say, we should become “true optimists”. Being a “true optimist” requires more than just positive thinking. 5 We need to be able to visualize the possibilities that may or can result from our choice of attitude and, moreover, be able to feel the emotion and passion behind our choice of attitude that will help us realize such possibilities. A．Choice is more important than effort. B．They encounter both joyful and sorrowful times. C．Positive thoughts aren’t enough in and of themselves. D．We all struggle with situations in life that are beyond our control. E．This freedom belongs only to ourselves and cannot be taken away by others. F．His extraordinary story showed that we don’t have to be prisoners of our thoughts. G．Fundamentally, our mindset determines whether we can cope with these new circumstances. 4 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 高考经典阅读7选5 —发现自我，完善自我 目 录 真题·命题感知 1 进阶·题型剖析 6 拔高·模拟演练 10 真题·命题感知 一、高考经典阅读理解——发现自我，完善自我 经典1：（2023年新课标全国Ⅰ卷）阅读7选5 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Personal Forgiveness Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 2 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3 You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 5 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A．A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B．Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C．They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D．It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E．It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F．Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G．Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．F 4．C 5．G 【解析】本文为一篇说明文。文章鼓励人们练习自我宽恕，并提供了一个简单的写作练习来增强自信。通过列出个人的优点和善良的行为，人们可以学会原谅自己的错误，并从中成长。 1．根据空前内容“Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. (为错误承担责任是积极的一步，但不要因此而自责。人孰能无过)”可知，作者认为人都会犯错，勇于承担责任固然重要，但是也不要因此而过于自责。结合空后“You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. (你可以使用下面的写作练习来帮助你做到这一点)”中的“do this”以及下文内容可推断，空处应该内容和“不要太自责”相似。选项D“It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. (宽恕自己也同样重要)”与“不要太自责”语意相近，起承上启下的作用。故选D。 2．根据空前内容“In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths. ” (在日记或纸上写上“个人优点”)”以及空后内容“Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. (你有爱心吗？有创造力吗？你慷慨吗？是一个好的倾听者？与人相处很有趣吗？它们不一定要改变世界，只要你个性中让你感到自豪的方面就行)”可知，空处指的是列出一些你个性中的优点。选项B“Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. (现在列出所有你喜欢的自己身上的特点)”符合上下文内容，下文内容具体解释那些是优点。故选B。 3．根据上文内容“At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. (在第二页的顶部，写上“善举”的标题。在这张单子上，列出你为别人做过的所有积极的事情。它可能是当你帮助朋友做作业的时候，当你没有被要求却主动熨衣服的时候，或者当你在家人累了一天之后烤饼干的时候)”可知，本段主要讲述的是列出一些自己所做的好事。选项F“Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. (不管是什么，不管它看起来有多小，都要把它写下来)”与上文内容一致，讲述的是不管你所做的事情不管有多小，只要是好的事情，都记下来。故选F。 4．根据空后内容“That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. (这样，你们就可以交换意见，谈谈是什么让你们每个人都与众不同，以及你们个性中闪光的方面)”可知，空处提到了某种方式，这种方式会使得你和朋友们一起交换意见等。选项C“They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. (他们甚至可能想试一试做练习)”符合语境，C项中的“they”与空前的“You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. (你可以让朋友或家人帮你增加你的列表内容。)”中的“a friend or family member”保持一致，同时选项C和下文“In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. (事实上，不要等到你犯了错误才去尝试这个——这是一个在任何时候都能增强自信的好方法)”中的“this”一致。故选C。 5．根据空前内容“It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. (大多数人不是从他们的成功中学习，而是从他们的错误中学习，这是陈词滥调。但事实是，这是真的)”可知，作者认为人是从错误中学习。选项G“Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. (不管你犯了什么错误，记住这不是你性格中固定的一面)”符合语境，G项中的“isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality”和空后内容“We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (我们一直在改变和学习，错误是一种积极的发展和成长的方式)”保持一致，指的都是犯错并不是性格中固有的一面，我们是通过错误来成长。故选G。 经典2：（2020年新课标Ⅰ） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 1 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. ● 2 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world. ●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 3 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? ＂That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.＂ ●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 4 ●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 5 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are? A．Feeling upset again? B．Where do you start? C．Nothing is too small to celebrate. D．Remember, you are only human. E．Set an intention for self-acceptance. F．Stop comparing yourself with others. G．When does the comparison game start? 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．D 4．C 5．A 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个自我接纳的小技巧。 1．根据题目A Few Tips for Self-acceptance(自我接纳的几点建议)及下文的Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.(这有很多可以帮你找到正确方向的方法。)可知，选项B. Where do you start? (从哪里开始那？)最合下文语境，故选B项。 2．根据下文Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only one in this world.(你是否希望最终你会因为自己的生活比他们的好而感到有力量？要知道，你的生活是你自己的；你在这个世界上是独一无二的。)可知，本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较，因为生活是我们自己的，我们也是世界上独一无二的。故F. Stop comparing yourself with others.(停止把自己和别人进行比较。)可以作为本段中心句，故选F项。 3．根据本文的中心句Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. (原谅自己所犯的错误。)及下文的You will make mistakes, time and time again. (你会一次又一次地犯错误。)可知，本句是在说明要讲自己看作一个普通人，普通人是会犯错的。选项D. Remember, you are only human.(记住，你只是个人。)与上下文衔接最好，故选D项。 4．根据上文List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.(列出你所有的成就。你有了一份工作，拿到了学位，今天你拜托了困境。)可知，这些小事都是你取得的成就，都值得庆祝，即没有什么事是太小而不值得庆祝的。故选C项。 5．结合上文Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself.(用语言来解释为什么你觉得自己不值得，为什么你觉得自己不够好。现在，自己读一下这些话。)和下文的Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are? (翻到你日记本上记下你的优点和成就的那页。看到你有多棒了吗？)可推知本句是在说明“再次感到心烦意乱”的情况。选项A. Feeling upset again?(再次感觉心烦意乱了吗？)最合上下文语境，故选A项。 2.为什么高考中发现自我，完善自我是重要的命题情境 ①贴合核心育人目标 高考的核心功能不仅是选拔知识掌握扎实的学生，更要落实“立德树人”的教育根本任务。这类命题跳出了单纯的知识点考查，引导学生跳出应试的局限，向内探索自身的兴趣特质、成长经历、价值取向，呼应了基础教育“培养完整的人”的育人导向，避免学生在长期应试中陷入“只刷题不关注自我”的误区。 ②考查真实的核心素养 这类情境学生无法靠死记硬背完成作答：需要结合自身的真实成长体验、对自我的独立思考输出内容，能精准考查学生的思辨能力、情感感知力、语言表达的真诚度，以及对自我与成长关系的认知水平，恰好对应语文、思想政治等多个学科要求考查的核心素养，能够区分出学生的真实认知层次。 ③呼应考生的成长阶段特征 参与高考的学生大多处于17-19岁的青年早期，正处于自我同一性建立的关键人生阶段，“我是谁、我想成为什么样的人、如何补足自己的不足实现成长”正是这个阶段青年最核心的人生议题。把这类内容作为命题情境，完全贴合考生的真实生活与思考语境，不会出现脱离学生经验的“偏题、怪题”，能让所有考生都有话可说，保障了考试的公平性与作答的亲切感。 ④引导长期的教育价值导向 这类命题会反向推动中学教育不再只盯着分数训练，而是引导学校和家长关注学生的自我认知教育，鼓励学生在学习过程中主动探索自身优势、接纳自身不足、规划成长方向，帮助学生在进入大学前建立清晰的自我认知，避免升学后陷入“不知道喜欢什么、未来要做什么”的迷茫，为学生的长期终身成长筑牢基础。 ⑤衔接时代对人才的要求 当下社会更需要有清晰自我定位、有自主成长意识的创新型人才，这类人才不会盲目跟随大流，能够结合自身特质规划发展路径，在个人领域深耕实现价值。高考设置这类命题情境，本质上也是为国家选拔出具备独立人格、成长内驱力的优质人才，呼应时代的发展需求。 进阶·解题技巧 7选5的解题技巧： 从隐性提示上掌握七选五的快捷解题技法： 策略1根据其他段落小标题的句式类型解题 如果题目设在段落标题处，考生可以通过其他段落小标题的句式类型来缩小选择范围。如果其他段落的小标题是祈使句，本段标题也应该是祈使句；如果其他段落的小标题是名词短语，本段标题也应该是名词短语。缩小选择范围之后，再依据段落内容来锁定答案。 策略2根据其他段首主旨句的句式类型解题 在很多“总—分”结构的文章中，每个段落都有主旨句，这些主旨句往往句式相同。因此，如果设题处在段首，并且是本段的主旨句，那么可以根据其他段落首句的结构并结合下文内容来确定答案。 策略3　根据语意和设空所在句子的残余部分的结构特征解题 近几年，高考命题的设空方式出现了一些新变化，打破了设空处是一个完整句子的命题窠臼，增添了对复合句中主、从句和并列分句的考查，所挖空的部分只是复合句的一部分，剩余的部分留在文中。针对这一类题目，可根据上下文的语意和设空所在句子的残余部分的结构特征来确定答案。 据“标点符号分析句间关系”快解 空后常见标点符号及思维趋向 空后是逗号 空后是句号 空后是破折号 空后是问号 此处要么填入复合句中的主句或从句，要么填入名词短语、介词短语或非谓语动词短语 要依据段落主题和上下文逻辑关系来解题 破折号后面的内容对设空处的内容进行解释和说明 此处应填入问句，这时可由下文的答语推知问句的内容 类型1空后是逗号 1．当设空处后面是逗号，且后面的句子是由从属连词引导的状语从句时，则设空处为主句。 2．当设空处后面是逗号，且后面的句子没有连词引导，则设空处多为状语从句。 类型2空后是句号 当设空处后面是句号时，考生要根据段落主题和前后句之间的逻辑关系来解题。 类型3空后是破折号 当设空处后面是破折号时，考生要根据破折号后面的内容来确定答案，因为它是对前面内容的解释和说明。 类型4空后是问号 当设空处后面是问号时，考生要根据后面对这个问题的回答来确定设空处问的是什么。 据“上下检索复现词汇”准解 类型1原词复现法 掌握特点 一个单词在一个语义场中以同样的形式反复出现，有时兼有词形的变化。如：上文中的says与下文中的said可以看成是原词复现 技巧运用 ①寻找空处前后句中的相同关键词；②根据语言习惯，第一句的宾语往往是第二句的主语，或者前后句有相同、重叠的词语 类型2代词复现法 掌握特点 为了避免与上文提到的名词重复，常用不同的代词指代上文提到的人、事物或事件 技巧运用 ①注意空格前后出现的代词，并确定其意义；②结合指代意义和单复数解题 it可指代单数名词、不可数名词或整个句子；they或them指代复数名词；one指代单数可数名词；that指代单数名词、不可数名词或句子；this 指代单数名词或句子；these或those指代复数名词。还有反身代词、关系代词等。 类型3派生复现法 掌握特点 派生词是由词根加词缀构成的词 技巧运用 在句中寻找这类词的复现 类型4同义复现法 掌握特点 上下文中有意义相同或相近的词、短语或同义句子。如：room与space 技巧运用 在句中寻找同义词的复现 类型5反义复现法 掌握特点 上下文中有互为相反词义的单词、短语或者意思相反的句子 技巧运用 在句中寻找反义词的复现 从设空位置上定位七选五的思考趋向 一、设空在段首——思考是“段落主题句”还是“承上启下句” 技巧1把握形似，确定段落标题句 技巧2根据一致，确定段落主题句 技巧3瞻前顾后，确定段落过渡句 二、设空在段中——明辨“七种逻辑关系” 段中题通常考查与前后句子之间的逻辑关系和上下文的衔接。考查要点有：总分关系、解释关系、例证关系、转折关系、因果关系、递进关系和并列关系。有时会出现下列衔接词汇或短语结构：first, second, then, next, later, soon, so, but, however, additionally, what's more, that is, namely, in other words, for one thing... for another等。这些词汇和短语结构在文章中起到提示逻辑关系的作用，是解题时需要重点关注的部分。 技巧1根据总分关系确定答案 技巧2根据解释关系确定答案 技巧3根据例证关系确定答案 技巧4根据转折关系确定答案 表示转折关系的连接词有：but, however/whereas, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever, on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise, not... but...等。 技巧5根据因果关系确定答案 表示因果关系的连接词有as a result/consequently, thus/therefore, so (such)．.. that...等。 技巧6根据递进关系确定答案 表示递进关系的连接词有：also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what's more, too, either, neither, not only... but also...等。 技巧7根据并列关系确定答案 设空在段尾——思考是“总结概括句”还是“过渡衔接句” 技巧1利用主题句或总结句确定答案 技巧2利用段落过渡句确定答案 技巧3利用补充信息句确定答案 拔高·模拟演练 1.（2027·江西多校联考） Graduating from college can be exciting, but it can also leave you uncertain.

Developing emotional intelligence can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can become emotionally stronger and improve as a person. Communicate Your Needs 1 This happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it. This can be extremely annoying. Just as you cannot read someone else’s mind, they can’t read yours. You need to communicate your needs to others, so do they. Try Using “I” Statements When discussing your feelings, use “I” statements instead of “You” statements. For example, say “I feel hurt” rather than “You hurt me.” This approach allows you to express your emotions without placing blame, making it easier for others to understand your perspective. 2 Take Responsibility For Your Actions Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions. That is where they hurt others and themselves. If you have made a mistake and hurt others in the process, apologize immediately. It won’t bring your self-respect down. 3 You will become emotionally mature by doing this. Avoid Negative People You are known by the company you keep. It significantly influences your emotional well-being. 4 Distancing yourself from negative influences or emotionally controlling people is vital. Remember, you are the CEO of your life — choose your associates wisely. By applying these strategies, you can develop deeper into emotional maturity. 5 Start today, and embrace the journey toward becoming your best self. A．It will actually help you win recognition from others. B．It can be frustrating when people around you don’t understand what you mean. C．You can also earn respect of others and improve your intelligence. D．It also shows your emotional maturity by promoting gentle dialogue. E．Thus, surround yourself with supportive individuals who uplift you. F．People keep their emotions private and avoid communicating outside their circle. G．Ultimately, you will gain healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. 【答案】1．F 2．D 3．A 4．E 5．G 【解析】本文介绍实现情绪成熟的四种策略：表达自身需求、使用“I”句式、为行为负责、远离消极人群，帮助人们建立良好人际关系，实现自我成长。 1．由本段小标题“Communicate Your Needs(表达你的需求)”以及下文“This happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it. This can be extremely annoying. Just as you cannot read someone else’s mind, they can’t read yours.(这种情况大多发生在人际关系中。你的伴侣希望你准确知晓他们想要什么、什么时候想要。这会让人十分苦恼。你无法读懂别人的心思，别人也读不懂你的心思。)”可知，空格处引出人们不愿表达情绪的现象。F项“People keep their emotions private and avoid communicating outside their circle.(人们把情绪藏在心里，不愿在圈子外沟通。)”符合语境，引出下文，有启下作用。 2．由上文“When discussing your feelings, use “I” statements instead of “You” statements. For example, say “I feel hurt” rather than “You hurt me.” This approach allows you to express your emotions without placing blame, making it easier for others to understand your perspective.(谈论感受时，用“我”开头的陈述代替“你”开头的陈述。例如，说“我感到受伤”而不是“你伤害了我”。这种方式能让你表达情绪而不指责他人，方便别人理解你的想法。)”可知，空格处继续说明“I”句式的好处。D项“It also shows your emotional maturity by promoting gentle dialogue.(它也通过促成平和的对话，展现你的情绪成熟度。)”符合语境，also表递进，承上。 3．由上文“If you have made a mistake and hurt others in the process, apologize immediately. It won’t bring your self-respect down.(如果你犯错并伤害了他人，立刻道歉。这不会降低你的自尊。)”以及下文“You will become emotionally mature by doing this.(这样做你会变得情绪成熟。)”可知，空格处承接上文，说明主动道歉带来的益处。A项“It will actually help you win recognition from others.(实际上它还会帮你赢得他人的认可。)”符合语境，有承上启下作用。 4．由上文“You are known by the company you keep.

When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you want to show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. 1 . If you don’t express your ideas, no matter how great they are, they’re useless to you, your team and your organization. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. 2 . What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. 3 . People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever. 4 . People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. 5 . A．Time is precious. B．Make it a conversation. C．Speak with elegance and intention. D．However, being confident is not enough. E．This simple body trick can increase your confidence. F．Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible. G．This is how you show value and make a positive impression. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．B 5．E 【解析】文章主要讲述了如何在会议中有效表达自己的观点，从而获得他人的注意和认可。文章提供了四个具体的建议，包括充分准备、直奔主题、互动交流以及保持自信。 1．根据上文“Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you want to show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader.(会议是让自己脱颖而出的重要途径。当你在会议中坚守自身立场时，你想要展现出自己的自信，而这会让你被认定为未来的领导者)”以及后文“If you don’t express your ideas, no matter how great they are, they’re useless to you, your team and your organization. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings.(如果你不表达自己的想法，无论这些想法多么出色，对你、你的团队和组织来说都是毫无用处的。以下是让你在会议中被听见的指南)”可知，前文提到在会议中展现自信能让你被视为未来领导者，后文指出不表达想法再好的想法也没用，为转折关系，D项“然而，仅有自信是不够的”承上启下，衔接自然。 2．前文“Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea.(想象一下人们对你的想法可能会有的反应)”建议预想他人对你想法的反应，后文“What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?(针对你的想法，可能会提出哪些问题？你将如何回答这些问题？)”进一步说明要从不同的角度思考可能的问题。由此可知，空处应强调从多角度思考问题。F项“尽可能从其他角度看待它”符合语境。 3．前文“Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening.(直奔主题用核心观点吸引听众，再深入细节。强有力的开场能让他们有理由继续倾听)”强调要简洁明了地表达观点，后文“People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.(人们在工作中面临大量任务，感到不堪重负。尽管八秒注意力持续时间的说法可能只是个传说，但如今人们对简洁的重视程度比以往任何时候都更高)”说明现代人时间有限，更看重简短表达。由此可知，空处应点明时间的重要性。A项“时间很宝贵”符合语境。 4．后文“People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more.(冗长的发言会让人失去兴趣。邀请他人参与你的想法，用激发提问的方式组织论述)”指出长篇大论会让人失去兴趣，建议通过互动提升参与感。由此可知，空处应提出将表达转化为对话。B项“让它成为一场对话”符合语境。 5．前文“Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose.(用能量姿势站立片刻来对抗紧张)”提到用“能量姿势”缓解紧张，空处应需补充这一行为的作用。E项“这个简单的身体小技巧可以提升你的自信心”说明其效果，符合语境。 4.（2027届云南模拟试题（一）） How to Stay Focused When You Study You sit down with your books, ready to study, and ten minutes later you are checking your phone again. Sounds familiar? Staying focused is one of the biggest challenges for students. The good news is that focus is a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained. 1 First, make a clear plan for each study session. Instead of saying “I will study English tonight”, decide in advance what exactly you will do: review ten new words, read one passage, or finish five grammar exercises. 2 It also gives you a sense of achievement when you check off each task. Second, control your environment. Put your phone in another room or turn it off while studying. Many students believe they can resist the pull of a buzzing phone, but research shows that even the sight of a phone can reduce attention. 3 A tidy desk with only your materials on it helps too. Third, work in short blocks with breaks. A common method is to study for twenty-five minutes and then take a five-minute break. 4 During the break, stand up, stretch or look out of the window instead of picking up your phone again. Finally, accept that your mind will wander. It is natural for attention to drift, especially when a task is difficult. The key is not to fight it but to notice it and gently bring yourself back. 5 With practice, your “focus muscle” grows stronger, and studying becomes less tiring. A．Make sure to keep the phone out of sight. B．Here are some practical tips to help you improve it. C．This clear goal makes it easier to start and to stay on track. D．Each time you catch yourself drifting, start the task again calmly. E．Longer blocks work better for some students, and that is fine too. F．Do not study in the same place where you usually watch videos. G．Rewarding yourself after a long session can also keep you motivated. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．E 5．D 【解析】主要介绍几条实用建议，帮助学生在学习时保持专注。 1．根据空前的“The good news is that focus is a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained.(好消息是专注力是一种技能，并且和其他技能一样，它可以被训练)”可知，前文提出专注力可以训练，下文依次列举First、Second、Third、Finally多条具体方法，故此空需要起到总起下文、引出建议的作用，B选项“Here are some practical tips to help you improve it.(这里有一些实用建议可以帮你提升它)”中的some practical tips对应下文分点建议，代词it指代上文中的focus，起到承上启下的作用。 2．根据空前的“Instead of saying “I will study English tonight”, decide in advance what exactly you will do: review ten new words, read one passage, or finish five grammar exercises.(不要说“我今晚要学英语”，提前确定你具体要做什么：复习十个生词、读一篇短文或者完成五道语法练习)”以及空后的“It also gives you a sense of achievement when you check off each task.(当你完成每一项任务时，它还会给你成就感)”可知，空前讲述要制定具体明确的学习任务，空后It also表示递进，介绍该做法带来的第二个好处，空格处应介绍明确目标带来的第一个好处，C选项“This clear goal makes it easier to start and to stay on track.(这个清晰的目标会让你更容易开始学习并且保持进度)”中的This clear goal指代上文提前确定的各项具体学习任务，和空后also构成递进逻辑。 3．根据空前的“Many students believe they can resist the pull of a buzzing phone, but research shows that even the sight of a phone can reduce attention.(很多学生认为自己可以抵挡手机的诱惑，但研究表明就算只是看见手机也会降低注意力)”以及空后的“A tidy desk with only your materials on it helps too.(一张只摆放学习资料的整洁书桌同样有帮助)”可知，本段主题为管控学习环境，空前点明看到手机就会分散注意力，因此空格应给出对应解决办法，A选项“Make sure to keep the phone out of sight.(务必把手机放在视线之外)”针对上文“看见手机会降低注意力”给出直接对策，和后文also引出的另一条环境建议衔接顺畅，符合语境。 4．根据空前的“A common method is to study for twenty‑five minutes and then take a five‑minute break.(一种常用方法是学习25分钟，然后休息五分钟)”以及空后的“During the break, stand up, stretch or look out of the window instead of picking up your phone again.(休息期间，站起来、伸懒腰或者望向窗外，不要再次拿起手机)”可知，空前介绍一种普遍使用的短时学习再休息的模式，空格处继续围绕学习时段长短展开补充说明，E选项“Longer blocks work better for some students, and that is fine too.(更长的学习时段对部分学生效果更好，这也没有问题)”承接前面25分钟的标准时长，补充说明不同学生适配不同时长，空后再介绍休息时的注意事项，逻辑连贯。 5．根据空前的“Finally, accept that your mind will wander. It is natural for attention to drift, especially when a task is difficult. The key is not to fight it but to notice it and gently bring yourself back.(最后，接受自己会走神。注意力涣散是很正常的，尤其是面对困难任务时。关键不要与之对抗，而是意识到走神，然后温和地把思绪拉回来)”以及空后的“With practice, your “focus muscle” grows stronger, and studying becomes less tiring.(经过练习，你的“专注力肌肉”会变得更强，学习也不会那么疲惫)”可知，空前说明走神无需对抗，要主动察觉并收回思绪，空格需要阐述察觉走神后的具体行为，D选项“Each time you catch yourself drifting, start the task again calmly.(每当你发现自己走神，就平静地重新投入任务)”中的catch yourself drifting对应原文mind will wander、attention to drift，承接上文做法，为后文坚持练习做铺垫。 5.（2027·江苏镇江市监测） Inspire Yourself: Simple Steps to Creative Renewal Oftentimes, people find themselves waiting for inspiration to strike like lightning from some external force. But this kind of waiting is useless, because true inspiration does not live outside of us. It comes from within. 1 The word “inspire” comes from a Latin word meaning “to breathe or blow into”. Each inhale (吸入) draws in vitality; each exhale (呼出) releases what we no longer need. 2 When we breathe with intention, we nourish all the neglected (被忽视的) corners of our inner and outer worlds. Nature has been a source of inspiration for people throughout time. 3 The important key here is that to be inspired by nature, you have to be in nature. Notice the weather, the feel of the air, or any smells. Inspiration is always around us, the key is to stay tuned in enough to become sensitive and aware of it. Furthermore, every time we have a new experience, we become more inspired. When we fall into routines, we are going through daily tasks without thinking. 4 Instead, you can listen to a new song, or visit a new place. This practice will stimulate different parts of your brain, and have you seeing and thinking in new ways. Finally, we often draw inspiration from observing and engaging in creative expression. Watching a play in person can be extremely rewarding. This kind of experience reaches deep within us, touching the core of what it truly means to be human. Observing others as they express themselves puts us more in touch with our own creative nature. 5 It is not uncommon to feel resistance before beginning any one of these things. However, once you take the first step and start, you will find that in that moment inspiration will bloom inside you. A．It is the first thing we do when we enter this world. B．Although this can be comforting, it can also be boring. C．As Van Gogh put it, “The sight of stars makes me dream.” D．In this way, inspiration is a cycle of receiving and releasing. E．It begins the moment we turn inward and choose to awaken it. F．This may mean writing a poem or story, drawing, painting, or dancing. G．As Mountain Dreamer says, “It’s unfamiliar things that stimulate my imagination.” 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．F 【解析】文章主要介绍了获得灵感的几种方法。 1．上文“But this kind of waiting is useless, because true inspiration does not live outside of us. It comes from within.(但这样的等待毫无用处，因为真正的灵感并不存在于我们身外。它源自内心。)”否定灵感来自外部，点明灵感源于人的内在，E项“当我们转向内心、选择唤醒灵感的那一刻，灵感就开始产生。”承接前文，完成从“否定外部来源”到“引出下文方法”的过渡。 2．上文“Each inhale (吸入) draws in vitality; each exhale (呼出) releases what we no longer need.(每一次吸气汲取活力；每一次呼气，释放我们不再需要的东西。)”把“inspire”的词源和呼吸的“吸入-呼出”动作绑定，D项“如此看来，灵感就是一个接纳与释放的循环。”对应“吸入是接收活力、呼出是释放冗余”的过程，把呼吸的循环和灵感的运转逻辑完全打通，贴合段落主题。 3．根据上文“Nature has been a source of inspiration for people throughout time.(长久以来，大自然一直是人类灵感的源泉。)”和下文“The important key here is that to be inspired by nature, you have to be in nature.(这里关键一点：想要从自然中获得灵感，你必须置身自然。)”可知，本段核心是自然是灵感的永恒来源，C项“正如梵高所说：“看见繁星，让我心生遐想。”)”用艺术大师的真实创作感悟，作为自然激发灵感的典型例证。 4．根据上文“When we fall into routines, we are going through daily tasks without thinking.(当我们陷入一成不变的日常，只是机械地完成日常事务，不再思考。)”和下文“Instead, you can listen to a new song, or visit a new place.(相反，你可以听一首新歌，或是去一个新地方。)”可知，上文说陷入固定日常后，人们会不动脑子地完成每日任务，下文转而建议去体验新鲜事物，B项“虽然这种状态让人安心，但也会让人感到乏味。”先让步承认常规生活的舒适感，再点出它的枯燥弊端，符合语境。 5．根据上文“Observing others as they express themselves puts us more in touch with our own creative nature.(观看他人表达自我，能让我们更好地发掘自身的创造天性。)”可知，本段主题是“从观察创意表达、亲身参与创意表达中获得灵感”，F项“这可以是写诗、写故事、素描、绘画或者跳舞。”承接上文“唤醒自身创意天性”的表述，列举出普通人可轻松尝试的创意活动，收束本段内容。 6.（2027·湖北黄石市质量监测） There is a moment in life when we realise that less truly is more. 1 She used just a glass cup, green leaves, and water boiled three times. “The third boil,” she said, “is when the water learns to breathe.” I thought her ridiculous. Now, I understand she spoke of a philosophy I took half a lifetime to appreciate — the profound power of simplicity. Modern life, however, makes it hard to live simply. We are flooded with notifications and expectations. Psychologists call this cognitive overload, where information exceeds our brain’s capacity. Decision-making deteriorates, creativity shrinks, and we feel exhausted. The accumulation of mess creates subtle but persistent anxiety. The more we accumulate, the more we have to carry, and what we carry eventually carries us. 2 Mastering the art of subtraction defines those we admire. Learning to do one thing at a time is a profound shift. Multitasking, which cognitive scientists say reduces efficiency by forty percent, is overrated. The single most radical act in a distracted world is to give your full attention to whatever you are doing. 3 Because it is easier to accumulate than to let go of habits that no longer serve us. Yet letting go is not a loss; it is a choice. Letting go is not failure; it is freedom. 4 Clear out one drawer, delete a useless app, or spend ten minutes in silence. In traditional Chinese painting, “leaving white” — the empty space — is as important as the brushstrokes. Life needs empty space too. Our capacity to appreciate depends on leaving some of it unexploited. Simplicity is a superpower in today’s world. When you simplify, you are not losing anything. You are making space for what actually matters. As my grandmother used to say, with a twinkle in her eye, “The tea is just leaves and water. But when you pay attention, it becomes something else entirely.” 5 A．However, simplicity requires courage. B．The more we win, the more anxious we feel. C．Perfection is achieved when nothing is left to add. D．That, in a nutshell, is what she meant: less is more. E．Start small and embrace the power of empty space. F．Adding more does not make life better; it makes it heavier. G．For me, it arrived when I watched my grandmother prepare tea. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．E 5．D 【解析】作者通过祖母泡茶的故事引出“少即是多”这一哲理，论述现代生活容易陷入囤积与信息过载的困境，倡导学会做减法，给生活留白，简化生活，专注当下。 1．由上文“There is a moment in life when we realise that less truly is more.

(掌握减法的艺术，成就了那些我们敬佩的人。)”可知，上文讲述不断囤积带来沉重负担，下文点明要掌握减法艺术。F选项“不断增加并不会让生活变好，只会让生活变得沉重。”承接上文囤积带来的压力，引出下文减法的重要性，符合语境。 3．由上文“The single most radical act in a distracted world is to give your full attention to whatever you are doing.

The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without patience, life is extremely frustrating. 1 Patience adds some ease and acceptance to your life. It’s important for inner peace. 2 If you are stuck in a traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking gets out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger scheme of things, being late is “small stuff”. Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practise periods. They are the periods of time that I set up in my mind to practise the art of patience. 3 You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it’s only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those qualities where success feeds on itself. Once you reach little milestone — five minutes of successful patience — you’ll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. 4 5 You will see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t “life or death” but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, you will see the same scene as an emergency complete with yelling, frustration and hurt feelings. A．You are more easily annoyed and bothered. B．Over time, you may even become a patient person. C．Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. D．Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. E．If you lack patience, you are destined to fail in what you are pursuing. F．It is generally believed that the quality of being patient is very difficult to develop. G．Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don’t like it. 【答案】1．A 2．G 3．D 4．B 5．C 【解析】本文介绍了耐心对内心平和的重要意义，举例说明耐心在生活场景中的体现，讲述可以通过刻意练习培养耐心，拥有耐心能够帮助人们换视角看待困境。 1．上文“Without patience, life is extremely frustrating. (没有耐心，生活会非常令人沮丧)”指出缺乏耐心的坏处。A选项“You are more easily annoyed and bothered. (你会更容易烦躁、心烦)”承接上文，把这种沮丧的感受具体化，进一步描述缺少耐心带来的状态。 2．下文“If you are stuck in a traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking gets out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. (如果你遇上堵车、约会迟到，保持耐心意味着在情绪失控前不让负面想法越积越多，温和提醒自己放松)”举堵车迟到的例子解释什么是保持耐心。G选项“Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don’t like it.

A 2023 Stanford study found that heavy multitaskers are actually worse at blocking out irrelevant information and switching between tasks efficiently than those who focus deeply. The good news is that focus is a skill you can train, not a fixed quality. 3 Start by creating a distraction-free environment: put your phone on silent mode and out of sight, close unnecessary browser (浏览器) tabs, and find a quiet space to work. This physical setup signals to your brain that it’s time to concentrate. Next, practice the Pomodoro Technique, a proven method for building focus. Work in 25-minute bursts of intense focus, followed by a 5-minute break. 4 After four such cycles, take a longer 15-30 minute break to recharge. This structured approach prevents mental tiredness and makes large tasks feel manageable. Finally, train your brain to resist distractions. When an irrelevant thought or urge to check your phone arises, acknowledge it without acting on it, and then gently redirect your attention back to your task. 5 Over time, this mental discipline will strengthen your focus muscle, making it easier to stay on track even in chaotic environments. A．The short rest refreshes your brain effectively. B．Many people have trouble keeping focused on tasks. C．What is focus and how is it different from busyness? D．Focus improvement requires daily continuous practice. E．Can we take control of various interruptions around us? F．Multitasking is seemingly efficient but harmful to focus. G．This simple act helps improve your mental self-discipline. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．G 【解析】文章介绍了在信息时代保持专注的几个策略。 1．根据上文“In an era of endless notifications, social media feeds, and multitasking demands, staying focused has become one of the biggest challenges for students and professionals alike.(在一个无休止的通知、社交媒体推送和多任务处理需求的时代，保持专注已成为学生和专业人士都面临的最大挑战之一)”以及下文“You might look quickly at your phone during mid-task, zone out during a meeting, or switch between tabs so often that you lose track of your original goal.(你可能会在任务进行中快速查看手机，在会议中分心，或者经常在标签之间切换，以至于你忘记了最初的目标)”可知，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既承接上文所说的很难保持专注这一挑战，又要引出下文很难集中注意力完成任务的具体例子，B项“Many people have trouble keeping focused on tasks.(许多人很难集中精力完成任务)”既承接了上文信息时代很难保持专注这一挑战这一话题，又引出了下文的具体例子，起到了承上启下的过渡作用。 2．下文“Many people confuse “being busy” with “being focused.” Busyness means filling your time with tasks, often randomly; focus, by contrast, means directing your full mental energy to one single task at a time.(许多人把“忙碌”和“专注”混为一谈。忙碌意味着用任务填满你的时间，通常是随机的；相比之下，专注意味着一次将你的全部精力集中在一项任务上)”解释了“忙碌”和“专注”的不同之处，此处作为段首主题句，应该引出这一话题，C项“What is focus and how is it different from busyness?(什么是专注，它和忙碌有什么不同？)”总领全段，引出下文介绍的“忙碌”和“专注”的不同之处。 3．根据上文“The good news is that focus is a skill you can train, not a fixed quality. (好消息是，专注是一种可以训练的技能，而不是一种固定的品质)”可知，此处承接上文，应继续说明通过练习提高专注的正确做法，D项“Focus improvement requires daily continuous practice.(注意力的提高需要每天持续的练习)”承接上文，解释了通过练习提高专注的正确做法——持续的练习。 4．根据上文“Work in 25-minute bursts of intense focus, followed by a 5-minute break. (集中注意力工作25分钟，然后休息5分钟)”可知，此处承接上文，解释短暂休息对大脑的好处，A项“The short rest refreshes your brain effectively.(短暂的休息能有效地让你的大脑恢复活力)”中的short rest与上文a 5-minute break一致。 5．根据上文“When an irrelevant thought or urge to check your phone arises, acknowledge it without acting on it, and then gently redirect your attention back to your task(当一个无关紧要的想法或想要查看手机的冲动出现时，承认它，但不要据此采取行动，然后轻轻地将你的注意力转移到你的任务上)”可知，此处承接上文，解释“当一个无关紧要的想法或想要查看手机的冲动出现时，承认它，但不要据此采取行动”这一做法的好处，G项“This simple act helps improve your mental self-discipline.(这个简单的行为有助于提高你的精神自律能力)”指出了这一做法的好处就是提高精神自律能力。 9.（2027·辽宁大连育明高级中学开学考试） We often hear of people taking long journeys across the globe, with a handful even travelling into space.

And we are also facing rapid changes that test our ability to cope (处理). 1 The world-renowned psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl is perhaps best known for practicing “freedom of will” in terms of choosing an attitude when experiencing unavoidable or inescapable suffering. According to Frankl, no matter how desperate our situation in life may be, we always have the ultimate freedom to choose our attitude. 2 It can be viewed, moreover, as both the foundation of and the driver behind our ability to cope with and respond to whatever challenges in life come our way. Frankl relied upon an important belief system, or mindset (心态), to help him sustain an optimistic view even when he was facing extreme hardships in life. 3 Instead, we can exercise what he called the “last of the human freedoms”, the ultimate freedom to choose one’s attitude in response to whatever life circumstances we face. 4 Whether these situations involve personal or collective challenges, we can still come to understand that we are not simply at the mercy of what life brings; we involve ourselves in life and bring meaning to it. And it is by changing our mindset that we can respond to life. That is to say, we should become “true optimists”. Being a “true optimist” requires more than just positive thinking. 5 We need to be able to visualize the possibilities that may or can result from our choice of attitude and, moreover, be able to feel the emotion and passion behind our choice of attitude that will help us realize such possibilities. A．Choice is more important than effort. B．They encounter both joyful and sorrowful times. C．Positive thoughts aren’t enough in and of themselves. D．We all struggle with situations in life that are beyond our control. E．This freedom belongs only to ourselves and cannot be taken away by others. F．His extraordinary story showed that we don’t have to be prisoners of our thoughts. G．Fundamentally, our mindset determines whether we can cope with these new circumstances. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．F 4．D 5．C 【解析】文章指出面对充满不确定性与快速变化的时代，我们唯有成为真正能够主动赋予生命意义的乐观主义者，才能有效应对生活中的变化和挑战。 1．根据上文“We are living in uncertain times, both globally and individually. And we are also facing rapid changes that test our ability to cope (处理).(我们正生活在充满不确定的时代，无论是全球还是个人层面。同时，我们也在面对快速变化，这些变化考验着我们的应对能力)”可知，上文指出我们正身处一个充满不确定性的时代，还面临着快速变化。G项“从根本上说，我们的心态决定我们能否应对这些新环境”中的“these new circumstances”呼应上文的“uncertain times”和“rapid changes”，符合语境。 2．根据上文“According to Frankl, no matter how desperate our situation in life may be, we always have the ultimate freedom to choose our attitude.(根据弗兰克尔的观点，无论我们的人生处境多么绝望，我们始终拥有选择态度的最终自由)”可知，上文指出我们拥有选择态度的终极自由。E项“这份自由只属于我们自己，不能被别人夺走。”中的“This freedom”指代上文提到的“freedom to choose our attitude”。 3．根据上文“Frankl relied upon an important belief system, or mindset (心态), to help him sustain an optimistic view even when he was facing extreme hardships in life.(弗兰克尔依靠一种重要的信念体系或心态，帮助他在人生遭遇极端困境时仍能保持乐观的态度)”可知，上文提到弗兰克尔的经历，F项“他那非凡的经历表明，我们不必成为自己思想的囚徒”呼应上文的“when he was facing extreme hardships in life”，且引出下文“Instead, we can exercise what he called the “last of the human freedoms”, the ultimate freedom to choose one’s attitude in response to whatever life circumstances we face.(相反，我们可以行使他所说的“人类最后的自由”，即在面对各种生活境遇时，选择自身态度的终极自由)”。 4．根据后文“Whether these situations involve personal or collective challenges, we can still come to understand that we are not simply at the mercy of what life brings; we involve ourselves in life and bring meaning to it. And it is by changing our mindset that we can respond to life. That is to say, we should become “true optimists”.(无论这些情况是个人还是集体的挑战，我们仍能意识到，自己并不完全受生活所带来的一切摆布；我们积极参与生活，并赋予其意义。而正是通过改变我们的思维方式，才能回应生活。也就是说，我们应该成为“真正的乐观主义者”)”可知，下句中的“Whether these situations”暗示上句提到了一些处境或情形，D项“我们都会与生活中那些超出我们控制范围的处境作斗争”中的“situations”与下文的“these situations”呼应，符合语境。 5．根据上文“Being a “true optimist” requires more than just positive thinking.(做一个“真正的乐观主义者”需要的不仅仅是积极思考)”以及后文“We need to be able to visualize the possibilities that may or can result from our choice of attitude and, moreover, be able to feel the emotion and passion behind our choice of attitude that will help us realize such possibilities.(我们需要能够想象出选择某种态度可能带来的各种可能性，而且还要能感受到这种态度背后的情感与激情，从而帮助我们实现这些可能性)”可知，上句提到成为真正的乐观主义者需要的不仅仅是积极思考，下文阐释成为真正的乐观主义者需要的是什么，这说明积极的想法本身是不够的，故C项“积极想法本身并不足够。”符合语境。 4 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
