七选五专题江苏省天一中学2021届高三新高考统一适应性考前模拟试题第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成)in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 36 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?37 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the poin t where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调)their actions. 38 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” 39Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.40 . An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talentC. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.7选5阅读答案：36-40 BEGDF本篇七选五讨论如何将团队的作用最大化，并根据研究得出一个好的团队不是简单的人才累加。

Look inward for better career advice Sometimes we turn to others for advice on major career decisions. 36 Warren Buffet's father discouraged him from entering the securities(证券）business.Walt Disney' s brother and wife both tried to talk him out of making Snow Wnite.Why does so much career advice end up being misguided? 37 We often listen to the wrong sources. I've watched many students rely on their parents and grandparents for guidance, forgetting that they were raised in an area when it was common to spend an entire career in one organization.What about going to people who are qualified to give advice? 38 Advisers often focus too heavily on their personal preferences and experiences rather than take our perspective(视角）。

No one will be surprised to hear that the arts are under fire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that's fun but certainly can't pay the rent. Do we really need art in our lives?It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is a sad fact of life, but it doesn't have to be. __36__ For example, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.__37__ History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can't tell us how the population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worked, because their art has given us such a deep insight into their daily lives.Most of all, we need art in our lives as it gives us a form of self-expression. __38__ You may not think you talk about your feelings, but you may express them in other ways. Some like to cook or bake, some like to work on machinery, and others may like to paint or draw. __39__So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they're thinking of is the art you see in galleries. __40__ It helps those in need, gives people in the future an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form of self-expression.A. Art also gives us insight into the world.B. Art doesn't have to be something that everyone understands.C. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people.D. Art is much more accessible and is truly needed in everyday life.E. Being able to talk about our feelings is essential to staying healthy.F. We use art to express ourselves, showcase talent, and grow as people.G. Whatever you like to do in your spare time, you're probably creating art.第二节36～40CAEGD江苏省南通市2020～2021学年度第一学期高三期中学情检测试卷英语第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

江苏省2021届高三上学期10月英语试题精选汇编：七选五1、苏州市2021届八校联盟10月高三第一次适应性检测What will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.___16___ Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average,men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however , we shall have to use our brains more and more,and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.___17___ In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. ___18___ At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. ___19___Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! ___20___ All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.A. This may well be true.B. Let us take an obvious example.C. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.D. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker.E. Now how exactly will this great revolution occur?F. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.G. We’re all set to get much taller and thinner, if we want to survive.【答案】16. B 17. C 18. D 19. F 20. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。

We've all heard the phrase, "Work smarter, not harder." When it comes to studying, there are some very specific ways you can improve your effectiveness without adding loads of extra work.Create a game plan. Before you begin your study session, create a game plan for exactly how you will study. Consider what you will study, how long you'll spend on each subject and what study methods you will use. 36 Take at least 10 minutes before your study session to map out your game plan.Outline your notes. Taking the time to boil your notes down to a standard outline can help you grasp the overall concepts you're studying. You certainly can borrow or copy someone else's notes, but you must work hard to put everything in your own words. 37 Many times, understanding the big picture is just as important as remembering all the individual facts. Outlining allows you to file individual facts under larger ideas.Maintain balance. Balance can be difficult to maintain in school but it's crucial for success. 38 Seek to carry out a balanced life. Make sure to maintain a social life and develop hobbies outside of school. Stay in touch with your family and keep them informed of your school progress. It's certainly a challenge, but living in balance will keep you on the path to success.39 If you want to do well in school, you simply have to do it. But there are specific ways to study better.To make the most of your limited time. 40 By following the methods above, you can raise the quality of your studying sessions without necessarily increasing the quantity.A. To keep from spinning your wheels.B. There's no way to get around studying.C Write out your notes by hand during class.D. If you don't, you'll fail to understand the larger concept.E. This allows you to study the right materials at the right time.E The last thing you want to do is bury yourself in a mountain of books.G. Don't spend all your time studying or all your time hanging with friends.答案：36-40EDGBA江苏省泰州市2021届高三上学期期末调研测试英语试题第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。

You probably know that exercise is good for you. Studies show that it can prevent many major health conditions,including cognitive decline,diabetes, certain cancers and more.36＂Our lives are completely full. We may have children,aging parents, jobs, partners,and community,"says Barbara Hannah Grufferman, author of The Best of Everything After 50.If you don't have a regular exercise plan,don't worry! There are simple things you can do to get more exercise, no gym membership or hours of commitment required.Walk-and make it countEven if you're not in shape, you can likely walk. And that's good news, because many studies illustrate that it's one of the best things we can do for our bodies. Grufferman suggests getting a pedometer(计步器），whether it's a simple mechanical one, or a FitBit or Jawbone. 37 And then,start walking faster and longer-most experts recommend walking 10,000 steps a day.Reduce sittingYou've probably heard,"sitting is the new smoking."Well,this means that loads of research has shown that sitting for extended periods of time can have serious health consequences that range from obesity to diabetes and more. 38 It's also essential to take breaks from your sit-down desk.Run if you canIt might seem out of reach, but if you can add some light running into your daily walk, you'll be better for it. Running can make you happier, strengthen your joints, improve heart health,and improve your memory! 39 Then,go for longer distances gradually.Make it a habitTo truly make exercise-even the basics-a part of your life you'll need to make it a habit. ＂The good news is that it's never too late to start," says Grufferman. 40A.Track your steps because it's very motivating.B.But finding time to get more exercise can be challenging.C.Make sure you are more active and have a more enjoyable life.D.Experts suggest using a standing desk at least some of the time.E. Like brushing your teeth, you have to build exercise into your life.F.Some experts suggest altermating jogging and walking to get started.G.Get the recommended amount of exercise for your age to get the most benefit.第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)36.

江苏高考英语七选五专项训练

七选五Tourism is defined as the phenomenon of people travelling to and staying in places outside their environment to enjoy, experiment and possibly consume fashion.But don't just picture yourself travelling to Lisbon and visiting one of Louis Vuitton or Miu Miu shops and buying a clutch （限量款）! 2 Fashion Tourism will not only make your credit card go crazy.Fashion Tourism will give you something to tell your friends when you come back home. It will make you wear clothes that you are not brave enough to wear in your home town. 3 Not mentioning buying the latest fashion magazines in foreign countries finding wonderful bargains in street markets, going to fashion museums and even trying to get inside a fashion show!So you may ask why we would go across the world to buy things in different stores. 4 We shop for essentials on holiday, to experience local culture through an engagement with local products and local crafts people. We look for exciting opportunities to shop while travelling and some destinations provide special tourist shopping activities for tourists to shop for goods.The concept of Fashion Tourism is an enjoyable experience. 5A．Think bigger and look around you,B．Fashion Tourism is a popular way of shopping.C．Shopping is simply a pleasurable activity in its own right.D．What's more, you can get endless new ideas and inspiration.E．It will also bring you lots of new ideas and clothing inspiration.F．You will be thinking: “Fashion Tourism? You mean Shopping Tourism, right?"G．It is filled with the social need, fanciness and the discovery of specialty shopping.Are you often getting angry? Do you often feel gloomy and down in your life? If the answer is “yes”, then maybe you have a Type D personality.People with a Type D personality usually lack confidence and have a great fear of disapproval (反对).This stops them from opening up to others. 6 The right thing is that they might be interested in people but afraid of communicating with them, because they don’t want to be turned down by others.Additionally, bad feelings such as worry, stress, depression (抑郁) and anger visit Type D people more often.A small event that is usually overlooked by others can upset them a lot, or even ruin their moods.7 The first thing you must understand about personality types is that they have nothing to do with genes (基因).Having a Type D personality doesn’t mean that you can’t change it.Learn to control your emotions, overcome the fear of disapproval and learn to express your feelings to others.Or, are you a Type A, B or C person? The personality theory describes Type A people as outgoing, energetic and organized. 8 .They set deadlines (截止日期) and achieve them strictly.They also hate delays of any kind.“I’m late.I’m late!” could be their pet phrase.For their attention on time, people with a Type A personality also tend to feel anxious and over-stressed.Different from Type A group, people with a Type B personality are laid-back.They have the ability to relax and enjoy small achievements.They seldom get stressed or depressed.However, individuals with such a personality have their weakness. 9To be brief, people with a Type C personality are perfectionists (完美主义者).They tend to take their time and check their work over and over again.Time is not that important to Type C people. 10 Because of their focus on details, they like to get to the bottom of things, and are often asking “why” or “how” something works.A．What really matters is the detail.B．What can you do with such a personality?C．There is a misunderstanding of personality.D．Time is of the utmost importance to them.E．They are often the last ones to complete their work or study.F．They spend a small portion of their time doing something to relax.G．But thinking that Type D people lack social interests is not correct.Earnest Hemingway’s story “The Capital of the world” is about a father and his teenager son, Paco. The son wants to become a matador to escape his father’s control so he runs away to the capital, Madrid. 11 Only a simple message is published—‘Dear Paco, meet me in front of the Madrid newspaper office tomorrow at noon. All is forgiven. I love you.’ Hemingway continues,“The next day at noon in front of the newspaper office there were 800 ‘Pacos’ all seeking forgiveness.”Hemingway’s story captures the human need to be forgiven. While there is no guarantee that those we hurt will forgive us, we should still try. 1213 This will only make things worse. Instead, we should express our deepest regret for the pain we cause—sometimes that acknowledgement is all that’s needed. 14 But we can find peace knowing that we did the right thing in asking forgiveness even though the outcome wasn’t what we hoped and wanted.15 It is very hard at first and needs a long period of time. When we forgive others, it doesn’t mean that we forget what they have done. What it does mean is that we are no longer emotionally and spiritually disturbed by their actions. Life is too short; we must learn to forgive.A．How to forgive someone who has hurt us?B．Forgiveness can be hard to acquire, but it’s not impossible.C．How do you feel when your life is full of hatred and regret?D．The son finds it hard for his father to forgive his misbehavior.E．One key thing in seeking forgiveness is to not make excuses for our actions.F．If the person can’t forgive us, we must accept it as a consequence of our actionsG．The father, eager to find his son, follows him and puts an ad. in the newspaper.Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend·Show respect for their life choices and decisions. Accept that people aren't always going to be just like you. They will make different life choices, have different views on politics and religion, and act differently in many ways. This doesn't mean they can't be your friends. 16 ·Give them the benefit of the doubt.17 If you're in doubt about something, ask your friends. Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don't do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces（好感）.·Give friends your full attention.One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them carefully. Allow them to pause, convey non-verbal communication clues, collect their thoughts, and get it all out. Toooften friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 18 When your friend is talking, pay attention.· 19Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them. Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people. Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so that they know you value your friendship with them.·Show up, be there, and do what you say you' re going to do.20 So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time, keeping promises, and being the friend they can always count on. That's the way to truly show respect.A．Assumptions can be a dangerous thing.B．Consider your friendship a precious gift.C．This type of behaviour is very disrespectful.D．Tell your friends what you think about them directly.E．In fact, you can almost do nothing but accept the differences.F．It means that you'll need to take a step back, reserve judgement, and show respect.G．No one likes an unreliable friend who says he'll be there and then doesn't show.Many candidates pursue an MBA with hopes of altering their career paths. In our current environment with declining economic conditions, this is likely to be an increasingly common strategy.However, applicants looking to change careers should put in some extra work now to show that your desired career is both authentic and attainable. 21Here are some actions you can take while you complete your MBA application essays and interviews.Do your research.Know the role and industry that you desire to join and understand the skills required for success. Check LinkedIn to see where MBA graduates are going and talk to friends or former classmates who work in the field. 22 The more you know about your future industry, the more authentic your essays will sound as you begin to articulate (清楚说明) your goals.Look for extracurricular work in your target industry.V olunteering in your future industry or function can be a great way to not only solidify (使……固化) your interest, but also show the reader that you have truly given this future career some serious thought and consideration. 23Point out similarities between your current role and future goals. It is important to show admission committee members that you are set up to succeed. Even if you are not able to gain experience in your future industry, there are likely to be past experiences you can draw upon.24 Besides, point out how you have already developed and shown these skills.25 This is particularly important if you are not currently working. It will be crucial to show that you have used time in between jobs effectively. Taking additional coursework can be a great way to improve your competitiveness.A．Understand the industry’s career path.B．Make a personal tie to your future career.C．Consider short-term educational opportunities.D．This will help add attraction to your overall story.E．Consider related activities to attract the attention of the reader.F．Think about the most important criteria for success in your future role.G．This is even truer for applicants who might have been recently laid off.Your high school years are part of the most formative (形成的) years of your life. 26 Though challenging, it is possible to be in high school and career ready. Here are some tips to help you choose a career path.27 This list should consist of all the professions, starting from the ones that interested you as a child to the ones you’re interested in right now, regardless of how strange they seem.Explore the professions. Once you’ve created a list, it’s time to do research. 28 All you need to do is read relevant articles, get more information about your potential dream career and learn more about the jobs on your list.Make a self-assessment. The final decision about your career choice should be based on you, your interests, hobbies, personality and preferences. To ensure that you choose a career that isright for you, you’ll need to ask yourself where you see yourself in 10 years. 29 Make a shortlist. Now, after you’ve gone through all the steps above, it’s time to narrow down further. 30 By the time you make the final decision. You’ll already be aware of the requirements of your career path. At this stage, you should have a career plan to help you achieve your goals and get in your dream career path.A．Create a list of professions.B．It greatly reflects what you want to do.C．It only requires careful thinking and planning.D．As a result, the time comes when you have to choose the right career path.E．Well, different careers require a set of specific skills, talents and qualifications.F．Don’t worry; this research is nothing similar to what you do for your term papers.G．Look at the career choices on your list again and leave out some choices based on what you’ve learned from your research.Building a lasting social relationshipWe all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, and who share their lives with us in return. But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use "we--talk". Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5, 000 participants. 31The word "we" moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “ 32 Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them. " Robbins told Science Daily.33 The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner-especially important in times of stress and disagreement.Contrary to "we-talk", there is "I-talk", which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such as "I", "me" and "mine", when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researchers analyzed a set of data that came from 47, 000 people in Germany and the US. 34As you can see from the two studies, too much "I-talk" can make you feel depressed. But "we-talk" can encourage you to become more positive and create a chain effect of healthy interdependence with others.So next time you are talking to a friend, try using more "we-talk". 35A．Their research also found that "we talk" is helpful for resolving conflicts.B．Self-centered people are found to be indifferent to many things in society and other people.C．Pronouns offer an insight into whether people see themselves as individuals or as part of a whole.D．If you are speaking in a person context, you're speaking about something that's of relevance to you.E．You may find yourself feeling more positive - and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.F．This analysis of "we-talk" suggested that the frequent use of "we" and "us" is linked to happier and healthier relationships.G．They found that too much "I-talk" was an accurate linguistic marker for the likelihood that someone is feeling stressed or experiencing negative emotions.Not many people have an emergency fund even though it is essential. It will become your financial buffer (缓冲)in case something unexpected occurs. 36 You can one day tell yourself you’ll finally start saving up, but with the bills you need to pay and the other needs you must consider, your plan might fail. Here are a few aspects for you to consider when you wish to succeed in saving your rainy day fund.Usually, it is suggested that you save a total of three to six months’ worth of expenses.37 And if you get overwhelmed by the amount you need to save, you might become discouraged and fail. To settle the issue, forget about that suggestion. You should decide how much you want to save initially. For instance, you can just start with one month's worth of expenses. 38Budgeting is also important if you want to be financially healthy. Note what expenses are non-negotiable, such as your living expenses and food. 39 It's not bad to spoil yourselfsometimes, as long as the price is reasonable relative to your current financial situation.40 For instance, those who wish to pursue higher education will need to budget and save up for their school expenses. Even if they go to an affordable educational institution, other school-related expenses can still be quite a lot. So, knowing how to budget will help them survive school without falling much into debt.A．Therefore, you need to find a way to deal with it.B．Budgeting can help improve your academic performance.C．And when you achieve that, then you can set a higher goal.D．However, saving an emergency fund is easier said than done.E．Set aside some money for some non-essential expenses as well.F．But it's not that easy to set aside such a huge amount all of a sudden.G．Learning how to budget will be useful in other areas of your life as well.Music influences your emotions. In turn, your emotions influence your behavior. One of these is your food intake. 41 What does science say about this subject?Researchers at the University of Arkansas studied how music influences people when they eat in a restaurant. For the study, they used four types of music: jazz, classical, rock, and hip-hop. Their results showed that people had more appetite when they listened to jazz music while they ate.42 This has a lot to do with emotions. For instance, when you listen to music with harmonic rhythms like jazz, you feel happier. This increases your appetite.However, another study published in Psychological Reports suggests it isn’t only increased appetite that causes people to eat more. 43 A more stimuli-filled environment makes you eat more. In fact, they tend to urge you on to eat and even “encourage” you to eat faster. On the other hand, if the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed, you’re likely to feel more relaxed and spend more time enjoying yourself.

Coaches often relate the cause of their success or failure to this word. 46The short answer is, while the cultures of some sports teams can create long-term success, others will only deliver success in the short term, if at all. Culture is a key factor in the success of any organized group. So what is a sports team’s culture?Every team has a culture. 47Culture is a measure of the observable behaviors your team promotes and accepts. Basically, culture is best defined simply as “the way we do things around here” or “the way we behave around here”. 48 Some teams support a certain culture but actually behave in a very different way. Your team’s culture leads to either effective and productive results or ineffective and unproductive results.Now that we have begun to illustrate the importance of culture, what are the benefits of having a culture that is consistent throughout your organization or at your team level?49 Research has shown that when employees and senior leaders have the same view of the culture, the level of employee (including satisfaction, commitment and likelihood of recommending their organization as a great place to work) is much higher than in less consistent cultures.

The first is a high degree of internalization (内化). 56 . Media images prefer a thin ideal for women or a muscular ideal for men. When you internalize it, you’ve taken what society said people should look like. The second is self-objectification. People tie their overall self-worth to their physical appearance. 57 You' re extra sensitive to anything that could be taken the wrong way. So if something's going on in either their environment or their bodies that makes them feel a certain way, they're more likely to respond strongly to it.58 You really are a little more bloated (浮肿)than usual. Maybe something strange is going on in your stomach that's making you a little gassy (胀气). Even drinking a ton of water can make you more bloated than usual. All are purely physical reactions that can cause that "I'm feeling fat" fear.59 And that expectation is kind of baked into the DNA of Thanksgiving itself. It's such a part of our culture to be sort of undervaluing our own bodies. This sense of "Oh, I'm so fat" or "Oh, I just ate so much" is culturally permitted. We can feel fat, in other words, because we think we should. It's valuable to emphasize that it's okay to enjoy food across the holidays. It's Thanksgiving.60 And this time，that boat is filled with gravy(肉汁).A．Besides, everyone else is in the same boat.B．The third reason is a high degree of sensitivity.C．It's often the case that if we look good, we feel good.D．The pickier you are about food, the healthier you will beE．Sometimes what causes the fat feeling is just your body.F．You expect to feel fat, so you convince yourself it's true.G．People easily accept others' beliefs and attitudes as their own.Every day is a gift, and if you look forward to enjoying each day, then you need to learn to make the most of your day.
