高一英语七选五专题综合训练(及答案)With the rapid development of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____1____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp. Once they have just completed a task, another task is waiting and this wears them out.____2____By contrast, a slow pace of life allows people to have leisure (休闲的)time to relax and prepare for the next task.____3____ To keep up with the competition, one has to meet deadlines and race against time. In this way,he will be in low spirits. But living a slow life allows people to find the beauty of life. So we should advocate a healthy slow pace of life.However, some people think that living a fast life improves work efficiency.They think that keeping a slow pace is just an excuse for lazy people not to work,and encourages procrastination (拖延). ____4____ What slow life advocates is to slow down the pace of life, so that people can have time to think and relax rather than procrastinate. What’s more, we will better understand the meaning of life and face challenges positively.____5____Read a book and drink a cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon, for example.

That will just make the other person lose their temper too.____6____ Say “I’m sorry” and continue to talk calmly and quietly, and then your partner will be more ready to think about what you are saying.____7____ Try to keep to the topic you are talking about. Just concentrate on solving the one problem you are having. For example, if you’re arguing about the housework, don’t start talking about mobile phone bills as well.And my final tip is that, if necessary, you can call “Time out”, like in a sports match. If an argument is getting out of control, you can say to the other person, “listen, I’d rather talk about this tomorrow when we’ve both calmed down”. You can then continue the discussion the next day when perhaps both of you are feeling less tense and angry.____8____ Also, you may find the problem much easier to solve when you’ve both had a good night’s sleep.I want to say one last important thing. ____9____ This is not true. Conflict normal part of life, and dealing with it is an important part of any relationship. If you don’t learn to argue properly, then when a real problem comes along, you won’t be prepared to face it together. Think of the smallerarguments as training. Learn how to argue cleanly and fairly. ____10____A．It is also very important to stick to the point.B．Some people think that arguing is always bad.C．You may believe that arguing is impossible to avoid.D．The second thing is that you should find a good topic.E．It will help your relationship become stronger and last longer.F．You are more likely to reach an agreement when you are both calm.G．If you find yourself doing this, stop for a moment and take a deep breath.How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapp ing paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ___11___ Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. ____12____ It’s estimated that the U.S. produc es 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse. Use different materials. ___13___ Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.___14___ Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with. Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper?

Such acts aren’t just good for those receiving help. They’re good for those giving it, aswell.____23____●Get on social media—but limit passive browsing.Social media like Facebook and Twitter can be very important for staying connected whilephysically distanced.____24____ The amount of time people spend passively browsing social media is unrelated to positive states, but instead strongly linked to anxiety and other negative feelings. Be careful not to spend too much time passively browsing them.●____25____Researchers have found the feelings of connection and care for others that were experienced while communicating face to face can lead to more positive emotions than calling and text-based communication.

So even short, simple exercises are an important step to help you explore a language more deeply.Choose a word of the day. The idea of a word of the day as a language-learning exercise is a little out of date. It brings to mind the kind of person who would use a word in a sentence many times a day.____27____Collect and explore synonyms (近义词).When you’re learning a new language, it’s important to pay attention to those words having a similar meaning but used in different ways.____28____A good dictionary will give you some tips about the synonyms, but the best way to learn how to use similar words is to listen to other speakers and take note.____29____This exercise can work in either direction. If you see or hear something in the language you’re learning, make sure to try to bring it into the language you’reusing.____30____Actually write out these translations so as to check them against another translation.A．Translate what you see and hear around you.B．Find the reasons behind patterns you observe.C．There’s another be nefit that makes it important.D．You can adapt them in any way that works best for you.E．But focusing on just one word a day can really be very useful.F．And surely any text you see in your native language can be translated.G．For example, “big” and “vast” are synonyms, but you wouldn’t talk about a “vast dog.”The Secrets of SleepHave you ever wondered why you spend so much of your life asleep? Just as electricity charges the battery of a mobile phone, sleep recharges your body and your mind.What is sleep?___31___It is brought on by your “body clock”—a system inside your brain that helps you sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Even though you are not aware of your surroundings when you sleep, your brain remains active.Why do people need to sleep?Humans could not function without sleep. According to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, sleep helps people learn by strengthening their memories. It has physical benefits too—like maintaining a healthy weight and boosting your immune system.___32___ Your brain becomes foggy, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. That’s why you may be told to “sleep on”—a choice you’re uncertain about.What are dreams?Dreams usually occur during a stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In REM, the eyes move quickly back and forth and brain activity increases. Scientists are not sure why people dream. ___33___ Others say it helps people process emotions. Everybody dreams for around two hours a night but not everyone can remember them.How much sleep do I need?Most adults need around eight hours of sleep a day, but Mandy Gurney, who runs the Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic, says that children need more.___34___ “An eight-year-old requires around 10 to 10-and-a-half hours of sleep each night, dropping to around nine hours a night in your teen years.” A good night’s sleep will get your day off to a great start.

Then how do you make choices? If you’re interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation which you can base all your decisions on, so that you can make life better not only for yourself, but also for those around you. ___37___ Imagine if every parent, mate, friend, teacher, businessman, and politician truly did their best to choose what’s best for all in every decision they made, we would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.“But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn’t matter. ___38___ What matters is that whatever decision you make, you should choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all. Even if it later turns out that you have made a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt (愧疚). With a clear heart, you may stay clear and open. ___39___ Probably next time you’ll achieve a satisfactory outcome.However, choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice (牺牲) yourself for others. It’s typical of a mother to sacrifice for her kids. However, an overly tired mother may getannoyed easily. ___40___ Yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as you move through each day of your lives, remember to take account of yourselves as you choose what’s best.A．This may make you feel guilty about your choice.B．A working mother can’t balance career and family.C．This foundation is to choose based on what’s best.D．Some rest for this mother might seem not selfless.E．This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes.F．And every choice you make, however big or small, affects you in some way.G．What matters is not the choice you make, but the intention behind your choice.With the rapid deve lopment of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____41____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp.

What's more, finding our funny sides makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity and makes us more likable.

They agreed to teach me how to find my funny bones, too.___28___ . As you would hope, they are very amusing. They begin by sending me a questionnaire about what I find funny, what I don't, and how I attempt to make others laugh.

The athletes have to operate and show their skills in free-flowing natural environment. ____33________34____ The athletes are fully exposed to direct danger. They want to push their limits again and again, so they try to control the regular instincts (本能) in the highest pressure scenario (场景) while doing extreme sports. The athletes enjoy the process.

Don't compromise on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight. Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.5Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened.

Try to set aside a few hours a day, doing something fun to make yourself happy.BDo women talk more than men? 1 According to the latest research from the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.A. And he uses his language to show this.B. Do men talk in the same way as women?C. However, they say things in a different style.D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.CThe exciting game of footballFootball is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.G. For some, that is not enough.DThere are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.List your strong and weak pointsBefore you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.Ask others for their opinionsAlthough you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered.You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.Find out what potential jobs involve3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.4When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.A. Take a personality testB. Consider what delights youC. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.答案A 1-5 FDCEAB 1-5 BECGAC 1-5 ABDGFD 1-5 GEFBC解析A篇（日常活动）本文是说明文。
