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。
