As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. 81.________ Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”,“a mad dog”,“a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have bad meanings. 82.__________ In English, people use the dog to describe good actions. For example, “You are a lucky dog” means you area lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has goodluck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. 83.__________ But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.84.__________ People think the rose means love, peace, courageand friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.85.__________ We can learn about many differences in culturesby comparing how some words are used.(二)Self-disciplined(自律的) people are not all outstanding people.86 Some of them read every day. Some of them never run late. The real difference between an elite(精英)person and an ordinary person is thatan elite person can manage his or her time well. That’s where their success comes from. What people call self-discipline is in fact self-management.One example is staying fit. Never undervalue someone who is in good shape. Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that it’s not easy.87 If someone is in good shape, it shows that he knows the key rulesof staying fit. At the same time, he is able to stick to a plan that usesthese key rules.If someone is in good shape, it means that this person is good at managing themselves and their time. Whether it is natural or acquired(后天养成的), it is a great skill. 88 And he can balancelong-term goals with short-term goals.So if someone is in good shape, he or she is much more than just healthy.89 First of all, write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it. Create a list of all the things you need to do to achieve this goal. And start to work on them one at a time. With self-discipline, small things in life will no longer trouble you. Only through self-disciplinecan you truly own your future.90 Then you’re getting more and more excellent that’sclose to an elite person.(三)Everyone needs help sometimes. 86 That’s why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.For example, what would we do without a community fire station?If a home catches on fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely. 87 And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.88 We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals?Think again about what we eat every day, think again about what we wear every day. 89 We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support each other and help each other. 90(四)How Laughing at Yourself Makes You Attractive(有魅力的) Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it? 86 And it’s OK — we should even have a laugh about them.●Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are. You may feel bad about yourself because of your bad luck. However, it’s normal to be imperfect. What’s important is that you should be honest with yourself about who you are. 87 You won’t be able to laugh at yourself without self-acceptance.●Laughing at yourself helps increase your confidence. When you’re able to stay optimistic(乐观的) and laugh at yourself, you are likely to be more successful in life. 88 More importantly, it helps you realize your own weaknesses, so you know which areas to do better in.● 89 Laughing at someone else may hurt their feelings even if you didn’t mean to, while laughing at yourself does not. You might even bring a smile to their faces. People will like it, because it shows that you have the courage to do so and you’re being real about your imperfections.90 So instead of blaming(责怪) yourself, try to think of your mistakes, in a positive way and accept yourself just as you are. Learn to laugh at yourself and you will be more attractive.(五)A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fellinto a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, theytold the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 86 The other frogs kept telling them to stopand wait for their death. 87 Soon he died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die. 88____When he got out, the other frogs said, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. 89The story teaches us two lessons. 90 An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive (消极的) word to someone who is downcan make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great答案一.81-85 DEAFG二.86.G 87.D 88.F 89.C 90.A三.86-90: BGFDE四.86.E 87.B 88.G 89.A 90.C五.86-90.EABDC。

2024年高考英语阅读理解七选五10篇解析
2024年高考英语阅读理解七选五10篇解析(1)When people first come across the Law of Attraction (吸引力法则), their hearts and minds often immediately think of one specific thing that they’d love to achieve in their lives. However, the next thought is often “But I can’t do that”. You may come up with all kinds of excuses. 1 Here are the reasons why you should believe you can use the Law of Attraction to obtain whatever you want.Small steps create big changes. One of the most common reasons for abandoning dreams is that they simply seem too huge to realize. Usually it’s manageable to think of following your dream as taking a series of significant but small steps. 2 Then look at each of them. Not so unrealistic now, is it?3 When people are interviewed on their deathbeds or write about their lives in autobiographies (自传), it is often observed that major regrets tend to relate to things that were not done. In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted.4 But you don’t ever need to feel this way! Make today the first day of your new journey towards avoiding regret.Steps towards your dream are never backwards steps. Another common worry is that if you follow your dreams, you’ll be “taking steps back”. 5 However, what looks like backward steps in your old life can more productively and accurately be seen as forwarding steps in the brand new life you’re creating.A.You can avoid regret.B.It is no use regretting it.C.Luckily, the truth is that it’s never too late to follow your dream.D.It often comes up when people are at the top of careers they hate.E.It is painful to feel like you haven’t ever found your true purpose.F.For example, challenge yourself to write down the path to success in ten stages.G.You have enough life experience and knowledge to pursue your dream.(2)Breaking the Habit of People-PleasingIf you feel like you may be a people-pleaser, you’re not alone. Most people have a growing desire for pleasing others. 6 It can also result in weak boundaries, problems with decision-making, and low self-worth. For that reason, it’s important to recognize and overcome your own people-pleasing behaviors. Here are simple exercises that you can start working on today.1. Practice being alone试卷第1页,共8页7 Trust that people will not abandon you, even if you don’t drop everything for them. Believe you are lovable for who you are, not what you do. Practice this by going to a movie or restaurant alone.2. Keep plans with yourself8 Otherwise, you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value as a plan you make with someone else. Don’t break any plans you make with yourself, whether it’s going to the gym or studying for an exam.3. Practice saying “no”If you’re a people-pleaser you may find it hard to say “no” because you feel it comes across as cruel or uncaring. 9 Be clear, be direct, and use “I” statements. Try statements like: “I would really love to be able to help you, but unfortunately, I’m already committed at that time.”By consistently integrating these strategies into your life, I’m confident you’ll break your people-pleasing habits. 10 This will yield an overall improvement in self-confidence and life satisfaction.A.So it is not necessary to say no.B.But it absolutely does not have to.C.Learn to love your own company.D.You’ll develop more healthy, interdependent relationships.E.You are not confident about the plans you make with yourself.F.Your own plans are as important as plans you make with others.G.People-pleasing behavior can lead to mental and physical problems.(3)How to Stay Active During the HolidaysBeing physically active on a consistent basis can be challenging, especially during holidays, as we travel to see relatives or host friends in our homes. 11 In this case, consider these tips for making physical activity regular in your lifestyle over the long term, through holidays and beyond.Find something you enjoy.This is the first rule of any sustainable exercise routine. If your workout feels like another task on your to-do list, it’ll be difficult to stick with. 12 Dance. Garden. Take a yoga class online. All of these count as physical activity, and even small amounts add up.13Exercise doesn’t have to take place in a gym. Taking three 10-minute walks during the day — one in the morning, another during your lunch and another after dinner — produces similar benefits to spending 30 minutes at the gym. In other words, taking short movement breaks throughout your day makes for a more active lifestyleand helps meet your goals.Be realistic.Most are overly optimistic when first mapping out a workout plan. 14 Besides, you don’t have to exercise before, during and after work every day in order to hit your goals. Instead, look at your current lifestyle and integrate more movement into your daily life.Make it a priority.Most of us are managing countless responsibilities every day, so it’s vital to consider physical activity an important part of your day. Put it on your schedule, just as you make an appointment with a doctor. And, let others know when you’ll be busy exercising and how they can help you find time to do so. 15A.Find breaks to move throughout the day.B.Make full use of weekday breaks to work out.C.It is necessary to avoid being injured in sports.D.Therefore, be creative in finding physical activities.E.Having the support from others is an essential element of success.F.Additionally, schedules are often interrupted by holiday gatherings.G.In fact, exercise isn’t necessarily at maximal intensity to be effective.(4)Many people who are learning English want to know how to improve their reading skills. 16 The effective way to improve your reading skills is to love reading and practice more.Reading is one of the most important language skills because we use it to expand our vocabulary and improve the way we speak, write and listen. 17 Seeing new ways to say things can help your understanding of English and improve not only your reading, but also your other language skills.18 If we do not understand something, we can go over it again and even look up the words we do not know the meanings of. This means that we have a much greater chance of understanding information that we read than information that we hear.So how do we practice reading so that our skill level improves? When we read a passage, we need to understand it. We must understand what the important words mean in each sentence. This does not mean that we need to know the meaning of every word. In many cases, we can find out what words mean from the words around them. 19 To do this, we must understand how words work together. In many cases, we must “see” part of the message that has not been written, or we must form an opinion ourselves.Reading is an essential part of your study of the English language. It can help you understand and learn more. It can also become a satisfying hobby. 20试卷第3页,共8页A.Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this.B.Unlike listening, reading allows us to take our time.C.Among the four skills, listening is the most important one.D.It is hoped that you will love reading and improve your reading skills.E.When we read, we can see how things are said, from sentence structure to expression.F.If we do not, we will not be able to understand what the entire article or story is about.G.Once we understand what the words mean, we need to figure out what the message is.(5)Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic situation. 21 It gives you an assurance that you have people close by looking out for you. Here are easily applicable tips on creating stronger neighbor relationships.The first step is introducing yourself when you move to a new neighborhood or when a newcomer moves in. Leave them a note under their door to introduce yourself. 22 It doesn’t have to cost you a fortune and opting for a potted plant or baked biscuits will do. These actions present excellent opportunities to connect with them.Be respectful of your neighbors. It’s in poor taste to have regular insensitive parties at your place causing disturbances. Before your party, it’s good practice to notify your neighbors. Besides, avoid chatting them up for hours on end, which may be inconvenient, especially if you don’t know their schedules. 23 When you borrow anything, return it in due time. If you accidentally break their things, replace them without being asked to.24 You could offer to babysit your neighbors’ kids, help with snow removals or even keep an eye on their home when they’re away. Such acts of reaching out to your neighbors make for stronger relationships.As Emma Seppälä put it, “social connectedness generates a positive feedback loop (圈) of social, emotional and physical well-being.” It feels so easy to just stay home without having to engage with your neighbors but connecting with them is worth the effort. 25A.Remember every small gesture counts.B.A crisis is a test of communication skills.C.It can actually boost your mood in the long run.D.Slipping it in their mailbox further solidifies friendship.E.It’s essential to ensure you maintain decent relationships with them.F.Alternatively, you can give them a gift while making yourself known to them.G.Only by establishing healthy boundaries will you achieve peaceful coexistence.(6)The rise of social media has revolutionized human connectivity, but its overuse can make people feel increasingly unhappy and isolated. 26One significant problem with frequent social media use is comparing ourselves to others. Many individuals experience “Facebook envy”. 27 Gradually, it may result in self-doubt. To boost self-confidence, it is essential to reduce time on others’profiles, and focus on self-reflection.Social media can also make it hard to form real friendships. Constant online interaction may make us feel lonely and left out when we see others having fun online. Stina Sanders, a former model, explained “When I see my friend’s photos of a party I didn’t go to, it can make me feel quite lonely and anxious”. 28 Quality sleep is essential for mental health, but excessive phone use before bedtime can severely disturb it. The anxiety and envy induced by social media content can keep our brains alert, making it challenging to fall asleep. 29 Avoiding the phone for at least 40 minutes to an hour before bed can improve sleep.“ 30 However, it can also change the way we recall our life. If we direct all of our attention trying to take the perfect photo, less will be available to enjoy other aspects of the experience in real time,” said Dr. Bono. To decrease these effects, practicing self-discipline and limiting phone use can help us to stay focused and clear-minded.If you feel like social media is beginning to affect you, why not consider allocating less social media time? The slight change can do you a lot of good.A.Regular use of Facebook can keep good relationships.B.Social media offers a convenient way to record memories.C.This can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction with themselves.D.Plus, the blue light that is given off by screens affects our sleep.E.Therefore, it’s important to develop genuine offline relationships.F.Social media can lead to serious physical and mental health issues.G.The reliance on it can negatively impact people’s mental health in the long run.(7)For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to rush directly to tourist sights. For me.I find lots of joy in grocery shopping on holiday.As a vegetarian, finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. 31 The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, the ones I would struggle to find even in the UK. 32 I was so delighted that I试卷第5页,共8页could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.33 Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 34 That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. 35A.I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.B.The challenge of finding food is interesting. too.C.The smoked product is unique and specially packed.D.So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.E.It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.F.Corn pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.G.By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.(8)Traveling allows you the opportunity to explore new places and unplug from daily routines and distractions. But let’s face it: Sometimes you want and need to stay connected when traveling abroad. Beyond scrolling through news and keeping up on social media, having a cellphone can be an essential tool to connect with other travelers and find cheap accommodation. 36 Here are tips to avoid the high international roaming (漫游) charges.Buy a local SIM Card. One of the most affordable ways to stay connected while traveling is to bring your phone and buy a prepaid SIM card at your destination. Before you travel, check with your provider to make sure your phone will work abroad. Swapping out the SIM card will give you a new international number. Make sure you keep your original SIM card in a safe place. 37Use Wi-Fi Only. If you check email or social media infrequently and don’t feel the need to constantly upload travel photos. waiting until you can connect to free wireless networks can save you a lot. 38 While you’re at it, switch off any apps that grab data. Look for restaurants, cafes or public spaces that offer free access to Wi-Fi.39 To save time and money, load up your phone in advance with travel and other apps, music, books, maps, travel guides and anything else you may need. Free Wi-Fi can be slow in many public areas. And you don’twant to get stuck waiting for a map or guide to load when you need it.Disconnect. While you can find plenty of uses for your phone while traveling, there are also good reasons to disconnect. Be engaged as you explore new places. 40 Technology is so ubiquitous (无所不在的) in work and personal lives that it can be hard to focus on a new culture if all you’re doing is staring down at your phone.A.Download Before You Go.B.Know your limits and try to overcome them.C.Make sure you put your phone in airplane mode.D.That card is associated with your new phone number.E.Sometimes you fail to wander in a totally new environment.F.Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds and enjoy the moment.G.Your phone is also a key connection to friends and family back home.(9)The smell of sweat, the noise of crashing weights and the muscular people in tank tops make the gym’s strength class or weight room seem forbidding, whether you’re a seasoned lifter or a complete beginner.41 Most benefits of strength training go beyond appearances. It subjects our bones to more pressure than our daily routines and increases muscle mass and bone density. Now that you know resistance training is important, here’s how to get started.Set a goal that is attainable and improves your daily life. 42 That might mean pressing weight overhead to ensure you can put your luggage in the airplane’s overhead bin or doing weighted squats (深蹲) for hiking preparation.The ideal way is to work one-on-one with an experienced certified trainer. 43 Look for one who not only guides you through workouts but also understands your unique journey and helps you reach your full potential.Private training with friends or joining in small group classes is also a cost-effective way to get individual attention. While you might tend to position yourself in the back corner of the room, I suggest heading to the front where a coach can monitor your form and offer feedback.44 If you favor strength-training apps, opt for one with video demonstrations. If none of these are appealing, start at home with basic-level bodyweight exercises like squats. 45 Grab a gallon water jug, hug it to your chest and dive into a squat. This not only adds resistance but challenges your core muscles to sustain stability.A.It’s like having a fitness associate.试卷第7页,共8页B.It’s worth pushing past that fear though.C.Take my word for it, no one else is looking at you.D.As you gain more confidence and strength, raise the bar.E.You’ll begin to see an impact far beyond your jeans fitting better.F.Think about which aspect of your life could be noticeably improved.G.Take videos of yourself performing those movements and watch them between sets.(10)A workable and pretty easy solution to improving your listening skills is that you begin to realize how much of your ability to be an effective listener is really about you, not the other person and how fascinating or boring they are. 46We tend to assume that listening is little more than showing up and paying attention to the other person.47 It’s worth noticing how we instinctively (本能地) listen in conversation and whether or not that given listening mode is really what’s called for.You need to identify your personal “hot spots”. 48 Whether it’s talking about climate change or Father’s Day, when you are not interested at all, you realize it is hard to concentrate. That kind of self-knowledge comes by having a scientific approach and observing yourself in action.49 For example, your surrounding environment, the topic at hand, or even particular company may affect your ability to listen. When you do this, you can more easily see what gets in the way of your ability to listen and understand. Thus that makes many of our work-related conversations much easier.In a performance review or heated debate, you can remind yourself if you’re having an emotional response to feedback and are having trouble hearing the other person out. Observing and learning from your behavior, and noticing how you are affected by your surroundings help you uncover your unique needs for doing your best listening. 50A.Considering external factors is also important.B.Besides, get curious about your conversation style.C.In fact, if they’re boring, in some ways that is on you.D.But it’s also deeply tied to paying attention to ourselves.E.Effective listening is about creating the space for others to express themselves.F.The topics are what uniquely set you off and emotionally inspire you in some ways.G.Those are going to help everything from meetings to client presentations run smoothly.参考答案:1.C 2.F 3.A 4.E 5.D【导语】这是一篇说明文。

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. It might be something as small as a child's laugh or something as huge as a million-dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.A.

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。

高一英语七选五题型试题答案及解析
高一英语七选五题型试题答案及解析1. Nuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima(Japan) in 2011, the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided—some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. __【1】__ In fact, almost 80% of France's electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage inthe world. And in the US, the Obama administration s aid it “continues to support the expansionof nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. _【答案】F【解析】F根据下文可知,法国和美国是核能的忠实支持者,与上句德国的做法相反,所以选F 项作为过渡。

Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 3 Colleagues against bosses. Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from littl –known universities. This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000many Americans, is an exciting experience.

A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the ―green – eyed monsterǁ and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and g each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own.

Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to dem luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action.

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech.

For example, if a wife “leads her husband by the nose”, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.2 They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is “hard-nosed”, chances are that he will never “pay through the nose”, or pay too much money for an object or service.It is always helpful when people “keep their nose out of other people's business”. They do not interfere(干涉). The opposite o f this is someone who “noses around” all the time. 3 He is considered “nosey”. Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone(旋转磨石)” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean” or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose”. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face”. That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. 4 This person might also “turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air”.5 They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be “right under your nose” or easily seen.A. This kind of person is interested in other people's private matters.B. In school, some students “thumb their nose” at their teacher.C. The nose also has a lot of other functions.D. Some people are said to be “hard-nosed”.E. The nose is also used in many popular expressions.F. He is interested in things that concern his work.G. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless.第五篇:Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, __1____Mone y is a topic I’ll save for another day.

Are you making one loaf of bread? 3 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.4 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.

He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; 1 and you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…Why is identity theft becoming so common? 2 .

Still others help employees develop skills like learning to learn, creative thinking and problem solving.4 Their students often come from distant places and have full-time jobs.

Others work with outside educators to develop courses for employees to take at their workplaces. Still others develop their own programs consisting of weekend and online courses.Corporate universities may never compete with traditional schools. But they have changed the way many see education.

The relationship with them continued to grow as I grew and got older.2 She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’s plant flowers and carefully tend them. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needlework. Placing her thimble on her finger she’s remark: “I wouldn’t want to sew without one.”A few years ago when my grandmother passed away, I bade farewell to a loving grandmother.3 We had just had tea together a couple of moths earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it particularly on my birthday, as there was no card from my grandmother. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. 4 They are what she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!5 Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, she sewed it in that little pillow that I just “happened” to fluff. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me.What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was delighted to sew her thimble inside my pillow!A. How quickly our lives can change!B. I refused to go to the small town later.C.I loved the small town they lived in.D. I was arranging some colorful pillows.E.

It was crowded with customers. 1 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.2 It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recessi on(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either.3 Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 4 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. 5 , where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.A. They have to pay increasing high rents.B. But he is not the only one to solve the problem.C. But that’s all changed.D. In another town, they set up a nursery,E. In another town, they set up night shopping centers,F. They can make a fortune overnight.G. Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?第十篇:For some people,the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. 1 It develops children’s language skills and increases the ir ability to succeed in school and,later,work.A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves.They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿). 2The company Scholastic is a major U.S.publisher of children’s books.Every two years,Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits.The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U.S.read a book for fun almost every day.3 One is simply to have books in the home.Elizabeth Lyttleton,the mother of three,is lucky.Her mother once wrote and illustrated children’s books,so the family always have plenty to read.She says all her children learn from books—but in different ways.4 Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80%of children surveyed —of all ages—say they love being read to.And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.5 _ Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study,more than 90%said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.A.The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.B.Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.C.A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.D.For young children,parents should ask questions about the book.E.Do children still read for fun?F.Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.G.But reading to children does more than create warm memories.第十一篇:Helping Students Find Their Writing V oicesOne of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz(活力),it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing? 1Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is: “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. When students know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see.4When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students written for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle. 5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning(微调). Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explored who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.第十二篇:How to Sleep BetterIf you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning,waking up more than once,for example),th is text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.1.Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example,if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work,you might go to bed around 10 pm,because that’s when you start to feel sleepy,and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If,on the weekend,you sleep until 9 a.m,you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m.2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep,and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly,you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach,as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off,or use a very dim night light. 4 They include windows,LED clocks,computer lights and cable boxes.4.Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing,but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5 A.Try to avoid all sources of light.B.Keep the room as dark as possible.C.Make note of unusual circumstances.D.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.F.In other words,sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.G.If you wake up in the middle of the night,make an effort to have a comfortable position.第十三篇:Seeing with SoundAccording to a British news report,some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”.1 Dr. Peter Meijer,a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands,has developed a new system called the vOICe.The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh,I see.” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world.A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera,stereo headphones and a notebook PC.The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds. 2The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images.Everything has its own unique sound. 3 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调).And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on.What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object.Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt.4 Within two weeks,most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors.They are also able to identify certain situations,including whether the lights in a room are on or off.5 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe,bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time.A.Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas.B.It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones.C.However, they are not learning to see with their eyes;they are learning to see with their ears.D.The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals.E.Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”,but not the information “carrier”.F.To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a nu mber of visually impaired people were chosen to test the v0ICe.G.Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk.第十四篇:What A Real Leader DoesIs a leader merely a manager ? What should we expect from our leaders ? 1Yes, we do need leaders. On our own, we lack the vision, direction , and strength to reach our goals. We were all in need of guidance when we were children —— even the cleverest child could not possibly be expected to make certain crucial decisions. Once we become adults, with the capacity to reason for ourselves, we are facing so many pressures of daily survival that we rarely find time and energy to focus on life’s larger issues. And when we do, our emotions and subjectivity limit our vision and our movement.2 When we are occupied with our self-interest —— petty or great, a leader sends out a wake-up call, alerting us to seek the true priorities in life.With so many people trying to be leaders there days, how do we recognize a true leader ? To answer this question, we must step back and ask : 3A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we can see ourselves anew.The differences between a leader and a boss : A boss drives their employees, and a leader coaches them. A boss inspires fear, and a leader generates enthusiasm. A boss says “I”, and a leader says “We”. A boss places blame for breakdowns, and a leader fixes them. 4Decide now. Decide today. Are you going to be a real leader ? Are you going to develop real leaders ? 5 Remember, a leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it.A.A leader provides a new perspective, inspiring us to abandon our narrow field of vision.B.This sense of urgency is just as important in a leader as a sense of vision.C.And do we really need leaders in the first place ?D.Are you going to inspire and generate enthusiasm ?E.We have a CEO who can direct thousands of employees toward a single objective, and politicians who inspire millions of citizens to support them.F.What is it that a leader is really trying to accomplish ?G.A boss knows how it is done, and a leader shows how it is done.第十五篇:What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1 .Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者).At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 2 .If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.3 .On the one hand,a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the coldest winter day.4 .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London.used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.5 .It is self-evident that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A.On the other hand,black is depressing.B.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.C.They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference.D.If you do,you must be an optimist(乐观主义者),a leader or an active person who enjoys life.E.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.。

Your schooling, your volunteer work, and even your relationships with your family are all big parts of your career.________During your career, you will have a variety of jobs, occupations and roles.

It can be paid or unpaid________ Even someone who is self-employed has a job.An occupation is a group of jobs with similar responsibilities that require a common set of skills.________ Programmers may have permanent or temporary jobs working for specific employers, be self-employed, work full-time or part-time, be paid for their work or volunteer their services.

Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.Don't be hard on yourself.You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner.

There is homework to do and sport to play________ When I was a teenager I had a Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking(摆放)shelves and working at the checkout.Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs________Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money. So, that's no bad thing!Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.________Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College leaders, told BBC News “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives”. In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.________One 13 year old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I'm earning money and it helps increase my confidence in speaking to people and socializing with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up on a Saturday morning________A.

It's a waste of independence and a useful thing to put on your CV (简历).E. Does this mean that British teenagers? Are now more afraid of hard work?F.

So, what are some of the rudest things that people do at work — and why shouldn't you do them?Behaving in an unacceptable wayThe most common form of this is eating smelly foods at lunchtime. Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath.________.Checking email on your phone when you're talking to other peopleA recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them.________. If you've ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you're talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls.________Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it's time you learned to like the sound of other people's voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they'll dislike you and discount whatever you're saying. And if you routinely take up three quarters of the meeting with your monologues(独角戏), people will turn off and, quite rightly, start checking email on their phones. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they'll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak.Showing off how much you earn________. If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you'll look like a fool. If you earn more, they'll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways — like always paying for the team coffees.A. Talking all the timeB. Being a good listenerC. Team-working can never be ignoredD. All these things will become part of your personal brandE. It's better to be modest when you talk about your incomesF. Bad behavior at work is common — and often we do it without thinkingG. An interesting email is more valuable than the person you are actually talking to8A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.________ Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way________ Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.________ The idea that “everyone's doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!________________ Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.A. Peers can have a good effect on one another.B. Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers.C. Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble.D. That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.E. Maybe one kid in school tried to get another to cut class with him.F. It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done.G. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing.9.Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are increasing.________Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world.These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything if the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. ________ Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.________ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-maker—they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?________You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear. Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.A. You may consider seeking outside help.B. And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.C. You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.D. Faced with the challenge, children don't know what to do.E. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.F. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.G. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.10.Ways to create calm in your daily lifeMost of us need some space for calm in our lives. A few simple minutes can create much needed moments of calm.________You can use these small skills to create calm in your busy schedule.Go walking. Walking is perfect and you can do it well anywhere. Simply walking and taking in the view is stress reducing.________ It makes room for new ideas to develop.Appreciate nature when we think of nature we think of getting into the countryside or forests, and that is great if you can.________ Actually, nature is everywhere. Find a park or a small patch(小块地)of green, or just stick your head out of the window! You have many ways to appreciate nature.Listen to music. Many people listen to music to calm themselves down. Music actually lifts us out of ourselves. It can also draw our attention from boring and tiring things________.________ Certain activities like yoga and tai chi need quiet focus. They are perfect for active calming. They are good for the body, mind and spirit.Try out some of these ways and you'll soon be practicing “moments of calm”.A. Do some activities.B. But what if you are in the city?C. Notice the animals around you.D. It is a time to get stressful thoughts out of your head.E. Music is a way to express the way that they are feeling.F. With enjoyable music even work can be “music to your ear”.G. You don't have to find a mountain to sit on, or empty your mind of all thoughts for hours.11.The Bystander (旁观者) EffectWhen an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses.________The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help.________The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police.Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect.________Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.________ In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and ________A. They hesitate and assess the risk of getting hurtB. This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect.C. Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is unclear.D. First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility.E. they did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.F. none of the people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help.G. the attacker didn't stop stabbing her.12Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things.________The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you.________Another great benefit is the relaxation you get.________When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.________They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (怀旧的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.It's never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end.________With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.A. It's nice to enjoy a stress-free time.B. As the saying goes, you never know what you have until you lose it.C. When traveling with friends or family it creates memories of a lifetime.D. Going on a trip means that you are most likely going to spend time outside.E. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.F. However, there are still many budget airlines fighting for your dollar right now.G. There are many benefits other than enjoying yourself that can be realized when you travel.13.HomeworkDo arithmetic problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights -or maybe even just for tonight? ________It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.________ It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can -but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night.________But don't pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done!Most people's attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.________Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack -there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister.________Now you're free to hang out.A. Homework is a major part of going to school.B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.D. But if you're really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.E. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.F. And no teacher still believes that "chewed by the dog" line -even when it's true!G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.14How to prepare for exams?Here are some tips you can read with your child.The first step in preparing for examinations is to set a fixed time each day to study and a schedule to say when to start the revision and for which subject. The plan should include how many chapters to revise and how many worksheets (活页练习题) to work on. ________ Parents who do not know the examination schedule can search “exam timetable” to see the official examination schedule. ________The second thing is to decide on the place to study.

open fire,and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work,recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor′s

可知,空格处是与下文形成转折的内容,而"我"此次旅行用了展开式营房.A项意为"这一次没有帐篷",与下文形成转折,符合语境.故正确答案为A.39.F 由第三段第一句going on another fun-filled holiday 可知,"我"对这次旅行非常满意,而由下文We have done a lot of it since 可知,"我们"都爱上了野营.F项意为"从这里旅行后,我全家都对野营产生了巨大的兴趣",承上启下,符合语境.故正确答案为F.40.E 由下文sooner or later,everyone finds his or her way back to nature 可知,"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然,也就是野营的个性化选择.形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营.E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了",引出下文,符合语境.故正确答案为E.本文讲述了作者起初不喜欢野营,到经历一次非常舒适的野营经历,作者找到了使自己舒适的方式,从而喜欢上了野营.七选五阅读理解的题目常常出现在以下几点:一是描述性结构,主要介绍事物、问题或倾向的特点,因此时间、地点常是出题重点(记叙文);二是释意性结果,解释某一理论、学科、事物,主要用比喻、类比阐述(说明文);三是比较性结构,把两个人或事物的功能、特点、优缺点进行对比(议论文);四是原因性结构,主要分析事物的成因,有客观的、主观的,也有直接的、间接的(说明文);五是驳斥性结构,主要是先介绍一种观点,然后对其评论或驳斥,再分析其优缺点、危害性,最后阐明自己的观点(议论文).。

AEveryone knows that fish is good for health. 36 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at hom e. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish. 40 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.A. Do not buy it.B. The easiest is to steam it.C. This is how you can do it.D. It just requires a little knowledge.E. The fish will go bad within hours.F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.G.

Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex .But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.38 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows ,mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms .Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa ,small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable .Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas,dinner tables or bookshelves 39 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors .Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 40 .A. While all of them are usefulB. Whatever you’re looking forC. If you’re experimenting with a colorD. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar withE. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG.

选项中有两项为多余选项。
专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today.Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.B.Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.C.He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.D.However, he did not get much business for those products.E.He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.F.Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.G.As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.专项练习二Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.2 So they are called "diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is oneof the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C.In that case, they would live much healthier.D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G.Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".专项练习三For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little – known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.专项练习四Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or failAt least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.专项练习五1 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods andservices, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth levelA fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A.Then a third level appeared.B.Human wants seem endless.C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D.There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E.At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G.Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴)over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you th ink, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! 2 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion Why are you speaking Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.4 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet 5 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.专项练习七There is an English saying:“ 1._.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2. ___Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4.___.5.___. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one’s life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.专项练习八Why do some people have many friends while others do not 1 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (主动性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others ,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.3 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all –white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown – eyed people were cleverer than blue – eyed ones because of an agent (化学作用) for brown colour found in their blood. Blue – eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown – eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue –eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown – eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4 .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(怜悯) with them in their troubles. 5 .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore(忽视)others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.专项练习九The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter Here are two main ones.

You will be successful if you follow these seven Cs.e short, direct sentences. 1 Talk as if the reader were right there with you .Above all, don’t use an introduction.Correct, 2 Don’t guess, even for spelling.

He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer,and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet,in the dark and rain,running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.__2__He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad,unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he’s arrested,the story is in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks,little effort is spent on searching.A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures:first,as members of a police force,they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive (欺骗) the world,the world often deceives this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-mindedness—as he sees it—of citizens,social workers,doctors,law-makers,and judges,who,instead of eliminating crime,punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform.A.He can’t get any evidence from the witnesses.B.In real life,finding criminal is seldom much of a problem.

If you must say no to a chi ld’s request to spend money, explain, “ You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”51.Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of aproduct---a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example.

3. 7选5的解题步骤
1)快速阅读全文要点词句,包括首尾段、首尾句以及独立成段的句子和文章中带转折词的句子等,目的是掌握文章的主要内容。
但是由于文章中空缺了五处,而且有的地方空缺的是几句话甚至是一整段,文章的整个结构和逻辑是被打断了的,因此在短时间内掌握文章要点或逻辑思路是很困难的。
因此这一步可能对很多考生来说会花费很多时间。
如果感觉困难而且收获不大,可直接进入第二步,即一开始就边阅读边分析做题。
2)边读边做题,重点阅读各个问题附近的句子,圈定线索词,然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词,以确定答案。
做题时可以采用代入排除法。
如果一题做不出或拿不准,可先放过,继续往下读,先做容易的能做出的题,直到读完整篇文章。
至此,文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应基本清楚了。
3)重新阅读相关词句,重点做刚才没做出的题或不确定的题,此时可将已选出的答案代入原文,利用排除法。
同时检查核对已选出的答案,看文章从内容上是否语义连贯合理,语篇结构上是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切。
如果所选的答案可以满足上述标准,则表明各个问题的答案基本正确。
1)从意思上判断
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。
在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。
2)从词汇上锁定线索
做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感,最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词,寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。
其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。
尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。
3)从关联词上查找
由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。
关于这样的路标性信号词请详见下一节文章段落的语段特征之“连贯性”一部分。
在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。
例如,在看到表示并列或递进关系的关联词时,一般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性;而表示转折让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指,但句意对立,或褒贬对立或肯否对立;而表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的句子,往往会有复数名词出现。
5. 根据试题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题策略
1)如果问题在段首
(a)通常是段落主题句。
认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。
(b)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。
着重阅读后文第一两句,锁定线索信号词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词。
通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。
比如,如果选项中出现时间年代时,往往要注意与原文中年代的前后对应关系。
(c)段落间的过渡句。
这时要前瞻后望找启示,即阅读上一段结尾部分,通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来,并结合下一段内容,看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2)如果问题在段尾
(a)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。
(b)通常是结论、概括性语句。
注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。
(c)与前文是转折或对比关系。
此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
(d)与前文是并列或排比关系。
在这种情况下,通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节,因此根据段落一致性原则,在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构,或出现同义词等其他信号线索。
前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。
要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句,通常会找到关键的线索词句。
(e)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。
如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。
认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。
(f)如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。
通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
3)如果问题是一整个自然段
(a)这个段落应该是承上启下,而且自成一体,即有一个段落的中心,因此可重点阅读选项中较长的选项,以此类推直至找到正确答案。
(b)着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句查找相关的线索,而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头,因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。
(c)分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性,注意段落间的衔接手段。
将选项代入原文,如果前后内容连贯,符合逻辑,就能得出正确答案。
1,先看选项。
跟完形填空不一样,七选五的答案选项较少,并且给出的都是句子,因此,我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。
另外,通过阅读选项,有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子,这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。
2,再看空前空后。
由于七选五空出的是整个句子,而这些句子与句子之间,必然有一种联系,因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性,从而选择正确的答案。
3,注意代词或定冠词。
在做这类题目的时候,一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词,因为我们知道,代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的,然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型,我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。
4,注意一些特殊疑问词。
如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词,一定要把这句话仔细读几遍,因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的,比如对why的回答,后面要有BECause等表原因的词,对when的回答,后面要有表时间的状语,对where的回答,后面要有表地点的名词,对how的回答,后面要有方式状语等。
5,注意一些连词。
如一些表示转折的连词,but,However,yet,though,nevertheless等,另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and,also,aswellas,neithernor,eitheror,notonly...butalso,ononehand....ontheotherhand等。
因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系,通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。
