Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Of course, you want to make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood.

So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule :1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already?②__________2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. 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.3.④__________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.Try new things.B.Ability is easily improved.C.Make three or four instead.D.Understand your food better.E.Cooking is a burden for many people.F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.7. Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. ①__________, buy the best-fitting,best-built running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check thefit.②__________. As always, you should stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day.③__________, it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run.④__________. After two weeks, start timing yourself.⑤__________.

A garden that's just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和)of its parts?①__________. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.②__________Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). ③__________. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.Recall (回忆) your childhood memoriesOur model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad,but that’s not what’s important. ④__________—how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. ⑤__________. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.A. Know why you gardenB. Find a good place for your own gardenC. It’s our experience of the garden that mattersD. It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowersE. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plantsF. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, tooG. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have11. Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re tryin g to get work done.①__________,there are several ways to handlethings.Let’s take a look at them now.②__________.Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.When people try to interrupt you,have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then.③__________.It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions.When you need to talk to someone,don’t do it in your ownoffice.④__________,it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.If you have a door to your office, make good use of it.⑤__________.If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter, excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint(暗示) that when the door is closed, you’re not to be disturbed.A.If you’re busy,don’t feel bad about saying noB.When you want to avoid interruptions at workC.Set boundaries for yourself as your time goesD.If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public areaE.It’s important that you let them know when you’ll be availableF.It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG.Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not12. Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.①__________ One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.②__________We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing(加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processesthat take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. ③__________Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he isright. ④__________The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ⑤__________"You keep what matters," Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. "Sleep is the price we pay for learning,"says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.13. Success seems to find Maya Moore everywhere she goes. But life hasn’t been a bed of ro ses for Maya and her biggest supporter, her mother.①__________Maya discovered her love of basketball in 1997 at the age of 8. That was the year when the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) began holding games. The young girl watched the WNBA star Cynthia Cooper-Dyke play in the Olympics.②__________Three years later her mother, Kathryn, was offered a better job in North Carolina. Kathryn decided to make the move from Missouri because North Carolina provided greater basketball opportunities. Sadly, in two months the company downsized, and Kathryn lost her job. She remembers, “③__________” Maya said the difficulties brought them closer, and she praises her mom. "She's more than ateammate.

高考英语一轮复习七选五专练八篇含答案
七选五专题演练八篇仿真演练(一)Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush.__1__. Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. __2__, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.__3__. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard.Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. __4__ when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard.__5__. You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节约的) and environmentally friendly.A. Finally, they are easy to maintainB. They are extremely easy to installC. lastly, they do not require direct electricityD. Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resourceE. Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shockF. In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase eitherG. If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights（二）A New Trend of Micro MuseumsIs Making Science PortableScience museums are amazing. You can see large dinosaur bones from the huge creatures that disappeared thousands of years ago or take a look at cells under a microscope. __1__.You can learn so much at a science museum if living close enough to one. However, for those who don't live in a city, getting a chance to visit science museums is not easy. “__2__, their influence is limited. There just aren't enough science museums,” said Charles Philipp. “And due to the high costs，it's unlikely that we'll be seeing a bunch of new traditional science museums popping up all over the country anytime soon.”Philipp and his partner Amanda Schochet have decided to reinvent science museums by getting them small. They founded MICRO, a nonprofit organization that builds tiny 6foottall science museums, which are portable and replicable(可复制的). __3__. They can get access to it for free in such places as waiting rooms of hospitals, libraries, airports, and even shopping malls.__4__, they made it with the help of a team of engineers, storytellers and designers. Each of the micro museums has a scientific topic. The first museum is the Smallest Mollusk(软体动物) Museum showing the world of mollusks, which has won great popularity as the only museum devoted just to mollusks. A second museum is the Perpetual Motion Museum that focuses on physics and engineering and will officially open next year. It asks why things move, and why they stop. __5__. Hopefully one will come to a neighborhood near you soon.A．Science museums are beneficialB．While the content is vitally importantC．Although it costs nothing to visit museumsD．The plan is to get people of all ages connected with scienceE．Even though making the tiny museums a reality was difficultF．Such new museums allow people to explore fun scientific topicsG．You can also learn to think like an engineer by building a model ship（三）Flextime is a flexible hours’ schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. __1__For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. __2__ For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity, as in the case of someone who would prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.__3__ First, it tends to increase employees' satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a greater portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.Most flextime schedules include core time. __4__ Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not violate laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office. __5__ Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.D．It is a period of the day in which everyone is expected to be at work.E．Many employers all over the world offer this method to their employees.F．For example, home offices are increasingly popular among many companies.G．It allows them to make changes to their work schedule which will suit their lives.（四）During your university education, you'll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. __1__. That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor's evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. _ _2__.Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the reader's side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. __3__. On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader's doubt.So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism(抄袭). __4__. If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!__5__. For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.A．Some university students may cheat in different waysB．These include other scholars' ideas, figures, graphs and so onC．The academic challenge you face is to make something originalD．Often, students want to use others' opinions to support their own essaysE．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the researchF．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectationsG．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior（五）A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ____1____ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. _____2_____But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things , that humans used to have to do all the time. ____3____ The original idea of parkour was to returnto running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. ____4____Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. ____5____ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.A. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.B. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment.C. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.D. Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.F. The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.G. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!（六）Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your owntongue!1 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults. This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships. Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improved physical health, too. 2Avoid fueling verbal fire. When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response. Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower. How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten! 3 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒), but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Stop complaining. We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others. 4 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want.Do think before you speak. 5 It is useless regretting. It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword. Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?A．You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.B．Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.C．We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.D．Once the words leave your mouth, it is impossible to take them back.E．The longer you think, the better you'll speak.F．The more they do so, the more they are disliked.G．Think twice before speaking.（七）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person’s brain takes in and processes information. ___1___ The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.Learning disabilities aren’t contagious(传染的), but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. ____2____Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability.

It will keep kids home from school. 1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

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.

And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At 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 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. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. __3 . But But there there there is is is also also also opposite opposite opposite evidence. evidence. evidence.

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. Consumers may be spendi 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.

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. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1.

Stay loose and free.2 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 4 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.C. The second draft of the essay should be better.D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.F. Many beginning writers don't leave enough space to revise.G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.Passage2语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--积极的人生态度词数：约225 Work, family and world events can be so stressful that it feels like optimism and joy are far out of reach. Anyone can get stuck in a bad mood _but you don't have to stay there! 1Once you're in a mood you need to shake, start by going to your happy place. 2 If not, keep a photo on your phone or computer of a beautiful, favorite place and take a moment to imagine you are there. What's the weather like? Whatdoes the air smell like? What are you doing while you're there? How does being there make you feel? You'll instantly feel calmer, lost in the daydream or the memory of your happy place.We can make our situations worse by keeping thinking about negative thoughts. 3 " Bad things always happen to me, " becomes "What lesson can I learn from this situation?" "I wasted the whole day," becomes "I still have 5 more hours left to make today a great day!"Whether it is going for a coffee at your favorite cafe, or catching a movie in the theatre, make sure that once a week you schedule some "me" time. 4 That may mean getting less done during the day, but you deserve to take a mental break, regularly. So give priority to the time you need to recharge.5 Whether it's a rare bit of easy traffic on your way to work or a break in the weather, you won't have time to complain about the negative things because you're so busy being grateful.A. You can also volunteer at your local shelter.B. It helps focus on the present and clear your mind.C. Thankfully, there are ways you can get back on track.D. If you're able, get into nature and breathe the fresh air.E. Relieve your stress and refresh your mind, body and spirit.F. When a negative thought flashes, replace it with a positive one.G. When a negative attitude takes over, shake it off by practising gratitude.创新练-高分必抢限时：19 分钟Passage3语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我--个人经历词数：约320 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.1 About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs! The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. 2Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. 3 You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as cruel. For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March wouldhave very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. 4 In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. 5 The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It's absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor.A. The list goes on.B. But this is not always the case.C. Our voyage was the last of the season.D. I was not the only one who felt this way.E. I, years later, did return to this fascinating place.F. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive.G.

Try to avoid drinks that contain caffeine, a chemical substance, because that will cause you to lose water.Choose a proper time in the day to exercise. Avoid the hottest time of the day — between 11 am and 3 pm. 3 Also take care to watch the weather and avoid exercising when humidity (湿度) is high.Dress for the heat. Make sure you wear light breathable clothing before working out in the heat. Some materials like nylon easily absorb sweat and evaporate it much better than cotton. 4 If you become very hot, pour cold water into your hat to help you feel cooler.5 Remember to use a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher and apply it every two hours or after you work up a sweat. Avoid getting sunburned because it decreases your body's ability to cool itself down and also increases the risk of skin cancer.A. Wear proper sunscreen.B. Take food and water with you.C.

This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend. 1For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, " That's what I say. " 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat. "That's what I say" throughout the play.At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped up with "That's what I say". I hadn't known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a standout in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dishwater. 4 If everyone is a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be. 5A. So it is in life.B. It was not to be.C. It was anything but a great part.D. My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.E. It took the entire cast to make a good show.F. There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.G.

She booked a few house viewings and after looking at three places, she fell in love with one house. But that night a feeling of doubt and uncertainty entered her head. 1 Will the others be cheaper?We've all found ourselves in such situations, whether we're considering job offers or buying a new car. It's a problem that involves mathematics and psychology. And it's got a name: the optimal (最优的) stopping problem. 2 It's askinghow long we spend sampling options to give the optimal chances of a successful final decision.Mathematicians have given us an answer: 37%. The basic idea is that, if we need to make a decision from 100 different options, we should sample and give up the first 37. 3 It's a period during which we identify what works and what does not. From the rejected 37%, we choose the best and keep that information in our heads moving forward.Mathematics offers us the best answer to the " optimal stopping problem". But there's just one big issue: Humans are not rational(基于理性的)probability-calculating machines. In fact, the opposite is usually true. 4 In the psychological and economics field, there is an " explore/ exploit trade-off (探索/利用权衡)".This asks whether we should go with a guaranteed "win " ( exploit) or risk going somewhere else for an unknown outcome (explore). The degree to which someone will explore or exploit depends on various factors. 5 Of course, different people are more exploitative or exploitative at different times. Teenagers and traders tend to explore more. Adults and managers exploit more.A. What if the next house is better?B. How much does it cost a month?C. The 37% rule is not some mindless, automatic thing.D. And it ties in with how curious or risk-seeking we are.E. It's then necessary for us to improve our computing power.F. So it falls on psychology to tell us about how we actually behave.G. The mathematical question for Macy concerns maximizing probabilities.Passage8语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--日常生活词数：约300 If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. 1 , creating an itch that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?Why does a mosquito bite itch?When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva(唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign things, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. 2 It's actually the body's response to the foreign mosquito proteins it is trying to fight. That's why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign proteins, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.What helps resist the urge to scratch?"Don't scratch" is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames(使更棘手)the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. 3 ,”warned DanielMarkowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedies (疗法). Choosing what's right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence that these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. 4 5Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, V osshall said.

If you choose a desert cactus (仙人掌) as your starter plant, that's fine. 2 That you see a particular species everywhere doesn't mean it's an easy plant to grow. It may be everywhere because it's easy to reproduce in a greenhouse, not at home. Some houseplants that are easy to care for include sweet flag, bamboo, spider plants, etc.3 With too little light, plants will produce small-sized leaves and become leggy.

Actually, not simple at all, 2 It will always be more challenging to use. It will likely take more time to use for each function.Worse still, the touch screen mayalso put you at greater risk of being in an accident.In a car with buttons and other physical controls, you can often perform the same tasks without looking. 3 And you most likely receive physical feedback (反馈) through your fingers letting you know you've succeeded. Buttons are probably faster than touch screens. With a button, you reach over and easily get your fingers on it.4 They may be effective, but many also require multiple attempts to work. If you've ever asked your phone to do something, you know there are still challenges in speech recognition.However, if you need to use the touch screen to control systems in your car, I have a few suggestions.Get your basic setup running before your car is running down the road.

高考英语七选五专项练习5.0学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Body shaming involves humiliating (羞辱) someone making negative comments about their body size or shape. 1 You may feel unhappy with how your body looks and judge yourself unkindly. However, there are ways to overcome the problem and build body positivity.2 Taking care of yourself is not a selfish act; it’s necessary for your personal well-being. Exercise, eat healthy food, enjoy the company of people who care about you, and spend some time outdoors to refresh your body and your mind.Replacing negative self-talk with positive thoughts can be useful for making you feel better about yourself and your body. 3 For example, if you have beautiful hair or eyes, this is just as important as the features you dislike or that others try to ridicule.Social media often emphasizes physical appearance and makes it easy to post hurtful comments about others. Cutting down or stepping away from social media can give you an opportunity to connect in-person and participate in other activities that lift your mood. Communicating face-to-face is nature’s cure of stress. 4Reach out to others for guidance and support and let them know what you have been experiencing. 5 Having a safe outlet to express your emotions can help you cope with the distress and humiliation of being body shamed.A．Treat yourself with kindness and love.B．Don’t hide or isolate yourself from others.C．This type of criticism can be made to others or yourself.D．Shift your focus to the things that you like about yourself.E．Being physically active is also important for your overall health and well-being.F．It’s crucial to find someone you trust and feel comfortable sharing your feelings with. G．While nobody is immune to social pressures to look good, any comments about your body are unnecessary.The process of sorting through my childhood stuff started out easy. At first, I was excited totoss everything out. But as the bedroom emptied out, I felt a creeping sense of sadness. My childhood was over, and I entered full-fledged (成熟的) adulthood. And I wondered: 6 In short, yes.7 That’s because going through your old stuff can possibly stir up difficult emotions or sweet memories. Whatever emotions pop up, accept them, and it will help you process it faster.Before you start sorting, determine how much storage space you’re willing to devote to your childhood items. 8 You may have limited space for old stuff. But listen to your heart. If you’re sentimental and you want to hold on to stuff, hold on to it. You canal ways get rid of it later.During this process, it can be useful to have someone you trust by your side. They can help you honor the memories associated with each object and let go. 9 They know which life experiences mean the most to you.And you don’t have to pile your childhood stuff in the attic (阁楼). 10 You can take photos, which you can revisit any time on your phone or computer. Or you can turn them into an art project and display it in a shadow box.Remember, there is someone who care enough to hold on all old stuff for you. This is a value of all of the time and effort and money your parents have poured into you. This has been saved in love.A．Get creative and think outside the box.B．Could my childhood memories be regained?C．You can find meaning in your life experiences.D．Loved ones can also help you decide what to save.E．But it will probably still be a bittersweet experience.F．That will help you figure out how much stuff you can keep.G．Was there a less heartbreaking, more strategic way to do this?Many people fear failure and try to avoid it even when they have the opportunity to succeed. They won’t attempt something if they think they might fail. 11Research the alternatives. 12 When you don’t know-what you’re dealing with,potential consequences seem far worse than they actually are. Take the power out fear by understanding it. Research all the potential outcomes(both good and bad) so you genuinely understand the risk of failure and benefits of success. Analyzing these outcomes will help you see through the fear of failure and make a logical decision.Another way to overcome the fear of failure is creating a contingency plan (应急计划).13 Daring to fail doesn’t mean you have to risk losing it all. If you manage risk intelligently, you can capture the benefits of high-risk opportunities while leaving yourself a safety net.Taking action is the best way to reduce fear and build confidence. As soon as you do, you’ll begin accumulating experience and knowledge. 14 . It’s like jumping off a cliff into a lake-after you do it once, you see that the water is safe and each time afterwards is easy. Start off with small steps and build up your confidence until the fear of failure is manageable.All in all, failure and success are two sides of the same coin. 15 By adopting these strategics, you can learn to embrace failure as a stepping stone towards success. A．Understand the benefits of failure.B．Everything is hardest the first time.C．You should be prepared for the worst.D．The unknown is a major source of fear.E．One truly cannot exist without the other.F．The following strategies will help you overcome the fear of failure.G．Even if your first option fails, a solid Plan B can maintain the status quo (现状).Things To Remember On Y our First Solo Travel AdventureIf you’ve ever thought about just taking a trip yourself instead of waiting for someone to join you, you’re not alone. 16 However, do you count yourself among the many who have tried it? If you’re planning your own solo trip, here are four important things to keep in mind.17 Since you’re traveling solo, how you choose to explore it is entirely up to you. This is your chance to do whatever you want whenever you want because this time, you’re running the show.Don’t be afraid to talk to random people. Though there is someone who poses a threat, it’s important to remember that not everyone is out to get you. 18 That’s because you’re anovelty, a person from another country who is visiting theirs. Therefore, instead of putting on your headphones or instantly seeing them as weirdos, use this spontaneous chat as a chance to meet the locals or get recommendations for things to do during your trip.It’s okay to have bad days. 19 It happens and it’s completely okay to take some time to process whatever it is you’re feeling. Take yourself to a movie or spend the day dong something relaxing like writing in your journal or reading on the beach.It’s okay to start small. 20 Start by doing a staycation in another part of town, spending a few days in a new locale a bus or train ride away.

1、How northern Europeans beat the winter bluesAsk a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures—one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine—and this is what you will get: in the first, as raindrops fall from the top of the page, the man behind the window has an unhappy expression. When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. ___1___In October 2019, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings.___2___ A person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood(情绪), and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). ___3___AniKalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research on SAD has been focused on the brain’s response to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. ___4___It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computers and t he indoor games and get out there in the sun. ___5___”A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”A. Yet that link has no scientific basis.B. It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.C. It affects about10% of the population of northern Europe each year.D. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.E. That’s when peo ple can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.F. Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.G. They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.32、You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem. 1 Then people could spell words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. Infact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn’t made until the time of the late Qing Dynasty. 2 They are Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, and James Murray. These men spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries. For them, it was not only a job; it was a wonderful journey of discovery. The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short.3 At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one meter underground.4 He had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’ clock and worked several hours before breakfast.5 Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.A. In winter it felt like a barn.B. Murray had never been to college.C. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old.D. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.E. But it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary.F. Three men did most of the important early work on dictionaries.G. The idea of this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857.3、Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”______1______. There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person,door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. _______2_______. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place. _________3________________4_______. If the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. ______5______. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.A.This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.B. People find jobs in a variety of ways.C. It’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapersD. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.4、The holiday season isn’t about shopping and gifts. 1 However, holiday travel can be more expensive than gifts. Fortunately, the following tips will help keep your travel spending under control.Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from airfare to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals. 2 Your best prices on airfare come when you book three weeks before the plane leaves for domestic(国内的) flights. For international flights, consider booking 30 days in advance. Many experts point out that you should book travel between one month and three months out for high-traffic holidays.Book your air travel on cheaper days. Traveling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than on Fridays and S undays. During the holidays, it’s not just about a specific day of the week. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday but days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday. 3Consider traveling overnight. Red-eye flights and overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times. 4 Traveling overnight can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.5 You can’t bring liquids with you on the airline, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you’re on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals, especially if you have access to（可使用）a microwave.A. Bring your own food.B. Consider affordable accommodations.C. Traveling by plane is not the best choice.D. Plus, booking earlier can save your money.E. For instance, traveling on Christmas Day might be a great deal.F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.G. Other choices include sleeper trains as well as overnight ferries.5、Experiencing bad dreams every night can be frightening for anybody. Bad dreams can disturb sleep. ___1___ That’s why one should take steps to stop them as soon as they happen every day.Studies have shown that when a person is under some sort of physical or mental stress, he’s more likely to get bad dreams and disturbed sleep. ___2___ For example, if you’re overworked, learn to take things slow.Besides, an unpleasant experience that a person is unable to get over can make the person suffer from bad dreams. ___3___ In such a case, receiving treatment and dealing with the unpleasant experience is the only way to stop bad dreams.Eating fatty and high-protein(高蛋白质的) foods is also known to cause bad dreams in some people.___4___ Taking a light dinner of soups and salads is the best, both for health and for stopping disturbed sleep in some cases.___5___ For example, your bedroom should be the most comfortable place in the world.

So from now on try to be a happy and positive person.A. First, we need to know the bad effects of bad dreams.B. For example, death of a very close one can result in bad dreams.C.

Reading something you enjoy can make you feel relaxed and help you sleepF. Besides these, there are many other things a person can do to have a good night’s sleep.G. To stop bad dreams, it’s necessary to find out the causes of stress in life and remove them.6、How to change the worldYou want to change the world, but you aren’t sure where to start. First, remember that changing the world can mean so many different things.Understand what's wrong.___1___The world is such a big place, so you won't be able to change much if you don't understand what's going on out there. Try to learn about what is happening both home and abroad.Know that change doesn't come overnight.___2___Try to live your values each day, even if you don't see much appreciable change on a day-to-day level. Work hard and don't give up.Start small.Find ways to make a difference every day. It may feel as though you are just one tiny part of a huge system. At first, you almost certainly will be.

People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.______1_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ______2_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology.

We should learn some ways to expand it.Read every day. 1 . Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.___2 If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.Elaborate(阐释)on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 3Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 4 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is 5 .The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.A. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.B. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.C. The vocabulary can be increased.D. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.E. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.F. Find a new word every day.G.

But try not to do so. ___3___ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.___4___ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistak e, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t giv e you a license to correct everyone else. ___5___ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended (冒犯).It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status (婚姻地位). Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process (过程) till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G.
