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

That will just make the other person lose their temper too.____6____ Say “I’m sorry” and continue to talk calmly and quietly, and then your partner will be more ready to think about what you are saying.____7____ Try to keep to the topic you are talking about. Just concentrate on solving the one problem you are having. For example, if you’re arguing about the housework, don’t start talking about mobile phone bills as well.And my final tip is that, if necessary, you can call “Time out”, like in a sports match. If an argument is getting out of control, you can say to the other person, “listen, I’d rather talk about this tomorrow when we’ve both calmed down”. You can then continue the discussion the next day when perhaps both of you are feeling less tense and angry.____8____ Also, you may find the problem much easier to solve when you’ve both had a good night’s sleep.I want to say one last important thing. ____9____ This is not true. Conflict normal part of life, and dealing with it is an important part of any relationship.

However, even in this case some people are managing to hold on to the good.____21____●Set aside time to take care of your body, mind, and spirit.Exercise and hobbies tend to bring positive emotions for young and old alike. The tie between time spent on these activities and positive emotions is particularly strong for people experiencing more negative emotions.____22____ One way is to make exercise an enjoyable part of your everyday life.●Help others whenever you can.No matte r how much time people spend taking care of themselves, we’ve found those who go out of their way to help others also experience more positive emotions. You can donate face masks or other equipment to health care workers. If you’re healthy, you can donate much-needed blood, or buy groceries and other necessities for elderly and high-risk neighbors. Such acts aren’t just good for those receiving help. They’re good for those giving it, aswell.____23____●Get on social media—but limit passive browsing.Social media like Facebook and Twitter can be very important for staying connected whilephysically distanced.____24____ The amount of time people spend passively browsing social media is unrelated to positive states, but instead strongly linked to anxiety and other negative feelings. Be careful not to spend too much time passively browsing them.●____25____Researchers have found the feelings of connection and care for others that were experienced while communicating face to face can lead to more positive emotions than calling and text-based communication. In other words, what matters is the quality of the emotional connection you make with others. These connections seem to have long-term results, too, beyond just having a good day today.A．But they need to be used properly.B．It’s more important to give than to receive.C．Meet face to face, even if you’re six feet apart.D．How can they experience more positive emotions?E．That’s because humans tend to be socially connected.F．Communicate more, whether in person or through the Internet.G．So the more stressed you are, the more time you’d take to exercise.The following are three simple language-learning exercises you can add to your dailyplan.____26____Learning a language doesn’t happen overnight. So even short, simple exercises are an important step to help you explore a language more deeply.Choose a word of the day. The idea of a word of the day as a language-learning exercise is a little out of date. It brings to mind the kind of person who would use a word in a sentence many times a day.____27____Collect and explore synonyms (近义词).When you’re learning a new language, it’s important to pay attention to those words having a similar meaning but used in different ways.____28____A good dictionary will give you some tips about the synonyms, but the best way to learn how to use similar words is to listen to other speakers and take note.____29____This exercise can work in either direction. If you see or hear something in the language you’re learning, make sure to try to bring it into the language you’reusing.____30____Actually write out these translations so as to check them against another translation.A．Translate what you see and hear around you.B．Find the reasons behind patterns you observe.C．There’s another be nefit that makes it important.D．You can adapt them in any way that works best for you.E．But focusing on just one word a day can really be very useful.F．And surely any text you see in your native language can be translated.G．For example, “big” and “vast” are synonyms, but you wouldn’t talk about a “vast dog.”The Secrets of SleepHave you ever wondered why you spend so much of your life asleep? Just as electricity charges the battery of a mobile phone, sleep recharges your body and your mind.What is sleep?___31___It is brought on by your “body clock”—a system inside your brain that helps you sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Even though you are not aware of your surroundings when you sleep, your brain remains active.Why do people need to sleep?Humans could not function without sleep. According to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, sleep helps people learn by strengthening their memories. It has physical benefits too—like maintaining a healthy weight and boosting your immune system.___32___ Your brain becomes foggy, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. That’s why you may be told to “sleep on”—a choice you’re uncertain about.What are dreams?Dreams usually occur during a stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In REM, the eyes move quickly back and forth and brain activity increases. Scientists are not sure why people dream. ___33___ Others say it helps people process emotions. Everybody dreams for around two hours a night but not everyone can remember them.How much sleep do I need?Most adults need around eight hours of sleep a day, but Mandy Gurney, who runs the Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic, says that children need more.___34___ “An eight-year-old requires around 10 to 10-and-a-half hours of sleep each night, dropping to around nine hours a night in your teen years.” A good night’s sleep will get your day off to a great start. As Mahatma Gandhi, who was an Indian politician and activist, is quoted as saying, “___35___”A．When I wake up, I am reborn.B．I really think I need more sleep than now.C．Sleep is a natural and temporary state of rest.D．Some say it is a process that helps store memories.E．Too little sleep can make you tired and bad-tempered.F．You become healthier and thus diseases will not bother you.G．Sleep is more vital for children because their minds and bodies are still developing.Everyone makes countless choices every day. ___36___ For instance, when hunger strikes, you can reach for a nutritious snack good for your health, or junk food which may contribute to fatness. Then how do you make choices? If you’re interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation which you can base all your decisions on, so that you can make life better not only for yourself, but also for those around you. ___37___ Imagine if every parent, mate, friend, teacher, businessman, and politician truly did their best to choose what’s best for all in every decision they made, we would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.“But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn’t matter. ___38___ What matters is that whatever decision you make, you should choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all. Even if it later turns out that you have made a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt (愧疚). With a clear heart, you may stay clear and open. ___39___ Probably next time you’ll achieve a satisfactory outcome.However, choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice (牺牲) yourself for others. It’s typical of a mother to sacrifice for her kids. However, an overly tired mother may getannoyed easily. ___40___ Yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as you move through each day of your lives, remember to take account of yourselves as you choose what’s best.A．This may make you feel guilty about your choice.B．A working mother can’t balance career and family.C．This foundation is to choose based on what’s best.D．Some rest for this mother might seem not selfless.E．This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes.F．And every choice you make, however big or small, affects you in some way.G．What matters is not the choice you make, but the intention behind your choice.With the rapid deve lopment of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____41____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp. Once they have just completed a task, another task is waiting and this wears them out.____42____By contrast, a slow pace of life allows people to have leisure (休闲的)time to relax and prepare for the next task.____43____ To keep up with the competition, one has to meet deadlines and race against time. In this way,he will be in low spirits. But living a slow life allows people to find the beauty of life. So we should advocate a healthy slow pace of life.However, some people think that living a fast life improves work efficiency.They think that keeping a slow pace is just an excuse for lazy people not to work,and encourages procrastination (拖延). ____44____ What slow life advocates is to slow down the pace of life, so that people can have time to think and relax rather than procrastinate. What’s more, we will better understand the meaning of life and face challenges positively.____45____Read a book and drink a cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon, for example. So please give yourself a little more time to stop and smell the roses fro m no w on. Let’s be positive about life, love life, and embrace life!A．So procrastination can’t be avoided.B．After all, there is a limit to humans’ ability.C．From m y point of vie w, this statement is one-sided.D．Next, the fast pace of life brings great pressure to people.E．Finally, the slow pace of life offers people more free time.F．Imagine how pleasant it would be to enjoy a nice slow life.G．In my opinion, we should calm down and slow our life downGood study habits play an important role in raising confidence and getting higher marks in exams. Of course, it’s usually hard to build lasting study habits at first, but it won’t be too long before your new good habits become part of your routine.____46____Set a daily study time. Studying for a test begins well before you reach exam day.____47____By reserving a specific time each day for studying, it can be easier to focus, because you won’t have to worry about any other things competing for your attention.Arrange your study space. Choose an area that is clean, well-lit, and free of distractions. Avoidsitting in front of the television or around a busy part of your home. Some people like to study in the library or coffee shop.____48____Turn off your electronics. Electronic devices are a big distraction, so remember to turn off your phone and television. Keep your cell phone away from you, as it will distract you.____49____When you need to use your computer while studying, stay away from social media, emails, and off-topic websites.____50____Plan a small reward for each day you study, such as time playing your favorite game, a piece of candy, or money to set aside for something you really want. Think of a weekly reward for meeting each daily goal that week, such as a few hours with your friends.A．You should set aside time every day to study.B．Only check your messages during break time.C．Reward yourself for meeting your study goals.D．Leave yourself enough time for games or time with friends.E．To better your study habits, you can employ efficient ways of studying.F．Break the information down so you’re only dealing with a little each day.G．But this may not work for you if you’re easi ly distracted by movement or noises.【参考答案】***试卷处理标记，请不要删除1．无1、G牝2、B牝3、D牝4、C牝5、F【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

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。

To make training possible for students, corporate universities have to use very flexible teaching methods. Some companies pay for their employees to attend specific classes at a local university. 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. Training has always been difficult for busy employees. 5 Through them, continuing education is possible for many who, otherwise, wouldn’t have the chance to study.A. Corporate universities help by offering flexible programs.B. Corporate universities face a number of special problems.C. It exists to help the company McDonald’s meet its business goals.D.

I enjoyed staying with my grandparents when I was young child.1 People knew everyone, their kids, their pets and their ancestors. 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. How sad I was to be unable to see a loving grandmother.F. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.G. How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her!第九篇：Britain’s high streets are dying slowlyTwenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities. 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.。

专项练习一For over one hun dred and fifty years, America ns of all social classes have worn blue jeans. Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today . Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among America ns but also among people around the world .Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829 . 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving toNew York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods bus in ess . This gave him a cha nee 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 pers on who searched an area for min erals . In stead, he knew he could make a good livi ng by sell ing supplies to the miners . At first, he pla nned to sell sew ing supplies and cloth . 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily brokenor 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 n amed Jacob Davis who had inven ted 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 pate nt his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the pate nt . 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion .5__ The bus in ess has bee n grow ing ever since and Levi Strauss' compa ny is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world .A .

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago . 1 The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly . Our bodies have not been able to deal with these cha nges in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sick nesses . 2 So they arecalled "diseases of civilization" . Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scie ntists no ted 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 one of the maindifferences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hun ted wild ani mals for their meat, which had much less fat tha n 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 ourancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scie ntists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the an cie nt people did, cutt ing 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 sick nesses were not known in ancient times.F . People today probably don't want to live like our an cestors.G .

It will keep kids home from school.1_Employees will sudde nly lose their ability to concen trate.The di sease, known as “ March Madness ” , refers to the yearl^teOm US men '-s college basketball tournament （锦标赛）. 2 Teams compete against each other in a single -elim in ati on （单局淘汰）tour name nt that even tually crow ns a n ati onal champi on.Nearly 20 milli on America ns will find themselves pris oners of basketball festival madn ess. The fun comes partly from guess ing the winners for every game. Frie nds compete aga inst frien ds. 3_Colleagues aga inst bosses.Big - name schools are usually favored to advanee into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little —known uni versities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with30,000, for many America ns, is an excit ing experie nee. Two years ago, the little —known George Mason Un iversity was one of the final four teams.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their uni versity andthemselves. 5 About $ 4 billi on will be spe nt gambli ng （赌）on the eve nt. Accord ing to Media Life magaz ine, the event will bring in $ 500 millio n in advertis ing in come this year, topp ing the post -seas on in come of every US professi on al league, in cludi ng that of the NBA.A.

Many people had n ever eve n heard of the uni versity before the tourn ame nt.专项练习四Every one knows that the Fren chme n are roma ntic, the Italia ns are fashi on able and the Germa ns are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thi ng as n ati onal character? 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 eye（gree n ster ” and the UK is its home.Scie ntists at Warwich Uni versity in the UK recen tly tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imagi nary amount of mon ey. 2 Those give n a little were give n the cha nee to destroy the large amount of money give n to others -but at the cost of losi ngtheir own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3_. But there is also opposite evidenee. 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 Ion ger hours tha n anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“ Itis not really success that the British dislike, s a ys Carey Cooper, a professor of man ageme nt at the Uni versity of Man chester In stitute of Science and Tech no logy. "It people using their success in a way that seems proud or un fair or which separates them from their roots.4 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours.

This seems to prove that the en trepre neurs were right to complai n.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, en trepre neurs were“ uni oved, unwan ted and misun derstood.D」t is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.E. Some were give n a little, others a great deal.F. But in stead of being happy they compla in that no body loves them.G. Perhaps it is the en trepre neurs 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: cloth ing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of America ns. _ It in cluded such items as automobile sand newhouses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. The n, in the late 1950s a fourth leve l of wants appeared: the -enricH i feg ” level. While the other levels involve physicalsatisfaction —the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body —this level stresses men tal n eeds for recog niti on, achieveme nt and happ in ess. It i ncludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called"luxury ” items. Among them are vacation trips, thebest medical care, and en terta inment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spe nt on goods. Will con sumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their in come in creases, or will they continue to dema nd luxuries and pers onal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would in volve wants that can be achieved best by com mun ity actio n. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignoran ce, 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 eno ugh to satisfy one level of wan ts, ano ther 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.

In one of his popular vlog posts, Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan. While there, he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost. Worse, he forgot to bring a phone charger. ___38___Another key aspect of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life, according to Ouyang Nana, 18, a young Chinese musician. She documents her life at Berklee College of Music. Ordinary as vlogs are, as many as 15 million fans share her wows and woes (喜怒哀乐) on a daily basis.__4__ Peng Yixuan, a news reporter with China Daily, recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the two sessions in March of this year. With a relaxed, chatty and personal approach, she presented the conferences, “bringing more warmth” to the grand political event, according to People’s Daily.There are popular vlogs for beauty, gaming, fashion, food and travel.

Every college has different rules on what you can bring.____41____ Rules vary from school to school, and you may want to hold off on buying that mini-fridge/ microwave until you make sure you can have them in your dorm.2. You might not like your roommate.For your new term, you’ll have a picked roommate. ____42____ This can be uncomfortable, but remember that with classes, you probably won’t be in your room anyway.3. There are tons of things to do.The last thing anyone should be worried about is being bored on campus. ____43____ They’re not hard to find, either. There are often posters all around campus for things to do and clubs to join. Some clubs even have their own social media sites, which could help you learn about the clubs.4. ____44____In order to make sure you can graduate on time without any difficulty, it’s a good idea to decide on your courses early. But keep in mind that your plan won’t be written in stone. Many s tudents change their majors at least once during their time in college, and this is a good thing.5. You can get good grades and have fun.A common fear when starting college is that there will be time for either studying or having fun, but not both. The truth is that with good time management it is possible to get good grades in all your classes and still have time to be in clubs and go have fun. ____45____A．Figure out when you will graduate.B．Plan out your academic career early.C．Food is an important part of the campus experience.D．Almost every college has a host of student clubs and organizations.E．If you manage your schedule well, you may even get enough sleep, too.F．You’d better check whether you can bring your items before you move in.G．While it’s possible that you will be the best friends, you might not get along.It is said that honesty is the best policy. But we’re constantly disturbed by lies. Why is it important for us to avoid lying in turn? ___46___Being honest is easier than lying. Have you ever told a lie and then forgotten the details about it? Sure, you may have been able to be safe for the time being, but lies have to be maintained with even larger lies. ___47___You will be found out if you lie. ___48___ Your kids’ hamster dies and you say that it has run away. Ten years later they accidentally dig it up in the backyard and they’ll realize that you have lied. Trust in the fact that the truth always finds a way to rise to the surface.The worst truth is better than the best lie. Sometimes a lie can cause much more worries, like telling kids that their grandmother “went to sleep” instead of letting them know that she had died. If they’re young, they’ll end up terrified of going to bed for fear that they’ll never wake up again.___49___ If someone finds out that you’ve lied to them, they will never be able to fully trust you again. Even if you spend the rest of your life sticking with honesty, the person you’ve lied to won’t ever have true faith in you again. There’s no such thing as a g ood lie. ___50___A．Here are some reasons why reality may be cruel.B．If you stick with the truth, you’ll always respond the same way.C．The lie that you tell will unavoidably come back around to bite you.D．You’ll have a hard time keeping track of it.E．Once trust is broken, it can never be fully regained.F．However perfect your lie is, someone will find out about it eventually.G．Let’s take a look at a few reasons why being honest is preferable to lying.【参考答案】***试卷处理标记，请不要删除1．无1、D牝2、B牝3、F牝4、G牝5、E【导语】这是一篇说明文。

When slightly dehydrated, the women reported tiredness, bad temper, headaches and difficulty in focusing. In a separate test, men with mild dehydration also had trouble with mental tasks. ____11____ Scientists are still trying to figure out why.You have a bad workout.____12____ It impacts how much you can push yourself.

The answer is simple. It doesn’t matter. ___18___ What matters is that whatever decision you make, you should choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all. Even if it later turns out that you have made a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt (愧疚). With a clear heart, you may stay clear and open. ___19___ Probably next time you’ll achieve a satisfactory outcome.However, choosing what’s best does not mean y ou have to always sacrifice (牺牲) yourself for others.

During their time in space, they made many breakthroughs for China’s space program. ____21____First of all, as for the task itself, it was the longest so far. ____22____ Then, even the astronauts’ return to the Earth saw some major breakthroughs for China’s space efforts.____23____ The Shenzhou XII return capsule spent over 24 hours around the Earth 11 times before returning on Sept 17, 2021. This time Shenzhou XIII shortened the orbiting time to about 9 hours, going around the Earth five times. Behind the shorter return time is the improved efficiency of the command center, which during that time has to consider all the factors involved, and make plans for the whole process.The search and rescue team on Earth also performed its remarkable abilities. According to reports, the Dongfeng Landing Site has a search area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, which includes desert, salt flats, as well as wetlands, making it challenging to locate where it has landed. ____24____ At 9:57 am, the reentry module(返回舱) touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site.To build a space station and enable astronauts to live in it for quite some time is a key step in China’s manned space missions. 2022 is a key year for China’s space station.

I felt embarrassed.At home that evening, I asked my other half whether he thinks I'm funny. ___26___ . "Of course you are," they all ensured me. What else could they say? And anyway, I'd already made up my mind. Some people just aren't funny, and I'm one of them.Yet, according to Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas-authors of the book Humor, Seriously and experts on the subject, humor is not something you are born with or without. ___27___ . What's more, finding our funny sides makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity and makes us more likable. It helps in any life situation.This undoubtedly explains why future masters of the universe are eagerly signing up for the humor course Aaker and Bagdonas teach at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. They agreed to teach me how to find my funny bones, too.___28___ . As you would hope, they are very amusing. They begin by sending me a questionnaire about what I find funny, what I don't, and how I attempt to make others laugh. The results will apparently reveal my humor type.In our first call, Aaker, a social psychologist (心理学家), explains that many of us leave humor behind when we arrive at adulthood: A four-year-old laughs up to 300 times a day. ___29___ . Next, we discuss the common misunderstandings that stop many of us in our comedy tracks. The first, Aaker says, is the belief that humor has no place in certain situations, especially at work.___30___ . However, 98 percent of top executives say they prefer employees with a sense of humor and 84 percent of bosses believe those employees do better work.A．Rather, it's a muscle you can strengthenB．Then there is the idea that it is too riskyC．We worry about not being taken seriouslyD．My first interaction with the pair is over e-mailE．Then I texted my best friend and my sister-in-lawF．But a 40-year-old takes ten weeks to laugh as muchG．It is far more important to show you have a sense of humorThe Secrets of SleepHave you ever wondered why you spend so much of your life asleep? Just as electricity charges the battery of a mobile phone, sleep recharges your body and your mind.___31___It is brought on by your “body clock”—a system inside your brain that helps you sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Even though you are not aware of your surroundings when you sleep, your brain remains active.Why do people need to sleep?Humans could not function without sleep. According to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, sleep helps people learn by strengthening their memories. It has physical benefits too—like maintaining a healthy weight and boosting your immune system.___32___ Your brain becomes foggy, making it difficult to co ncentrate and make decisions. That’s why you may be told to “sleep on”—a choice you’re uncertain about.What are dreams?Dreams usually occur during a stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In REM, the eyes move quickly back and forth and brain activity increases. Scientists are not sure why people dream. ___33___ Others say it helps people process emotions. Everybody dreams for around two hours a night but not everyone can remember them.How much sleep do I need?Most adults need around eight hours of sleep a day, but Mandy Gurney, who runs the Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic, says that children need more.___34___ “An eight-year-old requires around 10 to 10-and-a-half hours of sleep each night, dropping to around nine hours a night in your teen years.” A good night’s sleep will get your day off to a great start. As Mahatma Gandhi, who was an Indian politician and activist, is quoted as saying, “___35___”A．When I wake up, I am reborn.B．I really think I need more sleep than now.C．Sleep is a natural and temporary state of rest.D．Some say it is a process that helps store memories.E．Too little sleep can make you tired and bad-tempered.F．You become healthier and thus diseases will not bother you.G．Sleep is more vital for children because their minds and bodies are still developing.4 Study Habits You Should Be PractisingWith exams, essays, projects, and many deadlines for different things, effective(有效的) study habits are necessary. ____36____ If you are in need of a bit of an improvement, keep reading for the top four study habits that you should be practicing.1.

Even if you struggle a bit with a card, you will still be actively revising the necessary material.2. Revise, revise, revise!Many students put off studying until just before the exam, with the more hardworking students giving themselves a week or two before a test. ____38____ It’s best to revise the information a little bit every day, so that you are not upset when a test comes around.3. ___39___One of the most effective—and the most fun—methods of studying is to watch related lectures and videos in order to get more material. Watch documentaries or videos on YouTube and educational websites. You may be surprised at how much you can learn from videos, and just how much information is available online.4. Re-write your notes.Studies have shown that writing information out by hand increases your ability to remember the material.

To create the protein, the company uses renewable energy to split water cells into hydrogen and oxygen. ____42____ This is fed to microbes(微生物), which in turn create an eatable food, according to science website Futurism. This process makes alternative protein 100 times more climate- friendly than other sources of protein, the company said.____43____What about wearing a pair of shoes made of carbon emissions? On Running, a Swiss sports shoe brand, is trying to make foam(泡沫) for its shoed from captured carbon. In November, it announced it was teaming up with US-based company LanzaTech to make ethanol(乙醇) out of waste CO2, which would otherwise be burned, releasing CO2.

高考英语阅读七选五专项训练（10题）依据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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.

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.

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.

Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G.

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.

I found so many passionate，knowledgeable speakers who got me excited about the topic. Secondly，I remembered more stuff！An hour in the lecture hall has massive returns on investment.Be an active student.For my first year at Oxford，I barely said anything in lectures.I didn't volunteer in discussions and，as a result，I didn't understand much.My understandings of differenttexts never matured or became complex.They stayed the same.3Then，somewhere in the middle of my second year，I got over myself and offered more of my own opinions.I responded to others，asked thoughtful questions，and interacted way more.Being an active student also means asking for help.The smartest people learned everything from other smart people.4It doesn't matter how much new information you stuff into your head if you forget it the next day or cannot apply it.When you structure your studying，the most important task is always to ensure you are remembering the information you have already learned.5In order to improve your memory and absorb more information，you need to break your studying up into manageable pieces and review what you've previously learned in each new piece.A．Study in small blocks.B．That always comes first.C．And they were often wrong.D．Create a perfect study environment.E．Some students study new information for hours.F．My mind changed when I actually went to lectures.G．I was foolish and lazy，severely disadvantaging myself.参考答案一1．E 2．D3．A4．B5．F二1．G2．D3．A4．E5．C三1．B2．E3．F4．C5．D 四1．E2．F3．G4．B5．D五1．G 2．E3．C 4．A5．F六1．A2．F3．E. 4．G 5．D 七1．B2．A3．C4．G5．D 八1．F2．A3．G4．C5．D 九1．D2．G3．C 4．F5．A十1．G2．F3．C4．A5．B。
