专题25 新题型——七选五阅读理解-3年高考2年模拟1年原创备战2017高考精品系列之英语（解析版）

‎ 3年高考2年模拟1年原创精品系列 专题25 新题型——七选五阅读理解 ‎【2017年高考命题预测】‎ 预测一 “七选五”型阅读理解题，试题模式为：给出一篇缺少五个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，要求同学们根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处。《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述为“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。” 预测二 文章的篇幅较短，词数多为250～300，兼顾多种体裁，通常有记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文等，要求考生充分利用所给信息，具备高效处理信息的能力，还要求考生对文章有更深层次的理解。‎ 预测三 考查对文章的结构有所了解，把握住全篇的文脉，即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。‎ ‎【考点定位】2017考纲解读和近几年考点分布 从2016年开始，全国大部分省份将采用新课标全国卷。新课标全国卷中的阅读填空要求考生"明确、深刻地理解一篇文章，对文章的结构有所了解，把握住全篇的文脉，即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。"‎ ‎ 此题型文章中有5处空白，在阅读过程中，如果不明白文章的主旨和段落主题、作者的写作意图，就很难顺畅地读下去、读明白，自然就很难选出正确答案。而一个空填错势必又影响到对另外一个空的选择。另外，此题有5个空白处，却提供7个选项，因此有2个选项是多余的干扰选项，从而又加大了选出正确答案的难度。 　　该题型要求同学们从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。‎ 如果说通常意义上的高考英语完形填空题是词法和句法范围内的考察，是语言表达的基本单位,属于语言的组织规律,那么阅读填空题就是章法范围内的考查,是语言使用的范畴,属于言语的组织规律,简单地说,前者侧重语言的结构--语法,而后者侧重语言的使用--章法.‎ ‎【考点pk】 名师考点透析 根据出题形式的不同,填空类题型可以分为句子填空题,段落摘要,带选项的段落摘要等题型。.传统的分题型讲解的方法倾向于把这些题型拆开,这些题型的出题思路大同小异,‎ 一旦掌握了这些题目的共性,做题就会变得易如反掌。‎ ‎1．考查内容均为细节 每一道填空题的题目基本上都是对原文的一句话或者几句话进行的同义改写,不会出现对多句话或者是整段进行的概括归纳.‎ ‎2．所填答案基本唯一 虽然这种考试需要考生自己书写答案,但是所有答案均来自于原文,不需要考生用自己的语言对原词进行改写.极个别情况下会出现词序颠倒,但是基本上不需要考生进行词性.时态.单复数等曲折形式的转换.这是由阅读的目的所决定的,只考查考生的阅读能力,而无意检验考生的写作能力.‎ ‎3．凸显构成语段的方式 一是靠句际间意义的结合,二是靠句际间的关联词,逻辑性插入语来连接,我们在分析语段层次时,可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断,但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系,把握作者的思路,从语序上去发现断续点,理清层次,好文章的层次非矴逦?只有层层入手,才能真正理解文章.‎ ‎ 通过对高考中“七选五”型阅读理原题以及大量同类试题研究可知，此类试题虽然新颖，但是也有其特有的解题规律，主要注重解题的窍门和方法，成功闯关，选准答案的难度并不大。 根据作者归纳的解题方法和窍门，为帮助同学们记忆和使用，特将此方法归结为“通读全文、详读段落、定位选项、通读复检、确定排除”五步解题法。以下就此方法进行分析，希望此方法能为同学们的解题提供助力。‎ 步骤一：通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。‎ 在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为开门见山与结尾总结的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义，如果它是文章的主题句，就可以使读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开，并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句，则需要继续寻找。这时，可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为•结尾总结:式，如两者均可排除，则需在文章中其他段落寻找主题句，但要注意首段 与末段的提示作用。‎ 步骤二：详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。‎ ‎　　文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。‎ ‎　　步骤三：定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。‎ ‎　　在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。‎ 一篇文章作为一个整体，是有其写作的线索与思路的，在选项定位中，要尤其注意文章的写作线索，文章的写作思路的连贯使文章的每个段落、每个句子甚至每个短语均融为一体。如果带入选项后，发现文章写作线索中断或是前后矛盾，应更换其它选项。‎ ‎　　步骤四：通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。  ‎ ‎　　在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，仔细甄别，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。‎ ‎ 步骤五：确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。‎ 在检查后，应再次查看所排除选项，进一步确定排除理由，以防造成易混选项误选。‎ ‎【三年高考】 14、15、16高考试题及其解析 ‎16高考试题 ‎1.【2016·全国新课标I】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.‎ ‎ People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.‎ ‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”‎ ‎38 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the ‎ alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”‎ ‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example “bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.‎ A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. ‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎36.-40 D E G.F A ‎37.E考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。后面举的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母来作为密码，由此判断E选项内容符合语境逻辑。‎ ‎38.G考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后面的解释内容可以判断这是介绍密码设置的又一种方法，故G选项内容Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.符合语境。‎ ‎39.F考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后面的举例以及前句中的 a code book可以判断该句是介绍密码书的使用，故判断F选项With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.可以起到承上启下的作用。‎ ‎40.A考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据空后内容的转折可知尽管利用密码书可以破译密码，但是一本密码书也不会使用很久的时间，故判断A选项 It is very hard to break a code without the code book.符合语境。‎ 考点：七选五阅读理解 ‎ ‎【归纳总结】七选五阅读填空考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。解题技巧如下：1.注重句式的对接，比如排比句，祈使句等。2. 注重词汇的衔接：也就是利用上下文所重复的关键词，即词的复现原则进行判断，其中包括同义词，原词和反义词的复现。3.注重举例或解释等。如37题和39题只需要利用for example来进行解题。‎ ‎2.【2016·全国新课标II】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A garden that’s just right for you Have 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? 16 . 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.‎ ‎●___17 ‎ 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). 18 . 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 memories ‎ Our 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. 19 --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. 20 then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.‎ A. Know why you garden B. Find a good place for your own garden C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too G. For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have ‎ ‎【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. G ‎17.A 根据本段前两句“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).”可知不同人对花园有不同的看法，再倒数第二句“然而，有很多能够解释你为什么想做园艺的原因”可知我们首先要搞清楚为什么要做园艺。故A项正确。‎ ‎18.E 本段前两句提出有些人认为花园只是一些花花草草，有些人关心少用水少用废料。本句仍然在说明人们对园艺的不同看法。故E项“还有其他人只是喜欢在户外接触植物”与上下文一致，也是人们对于园艺的观点。‎ ‎19.C 根据前句“......那些都不重要”可知划线句强调的是在园艺中对我们来说真正重要的是什么。故C项“重要的是我们搞园艺的经历”符合上下文串联。‎ ‎20.G 本部分介绍如果我们自己建一个花园，要回忆一下年轻的时候所看到的那些花园，并把这些花园的优点写下来，然后制定计划并把自己的计划变成美丽的花园。故G项与上下文一致。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ ‎ 本文属于七选五阅读中最常见的设空在段首的方法，通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。本题我们根据倒数第二句“However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.”可知我们首先要知道为什么要搞园艺。故A项为本段主题句。‎ ‎ 当七选五阅读设空在句首时，还可能存在以下两种情况：‎ ‎ 1. 属于段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。‎ ‎ 2. 与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有   某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。比如，如果选项中出现时间年代时，往往要注意与原文中年代的前后对应关系。 ‎ 考点：考查说明文阅读 ‎3.【2016·全国新课标III】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish ‎ at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 17 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.‎ ‎ 18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.‎ ‎ There are many common methods used to cook fish.   20   First, lean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.‎ A. Do not buy it. B. The easiest is to steam it. C. This is how you can do it. D. It just requires a little knowledge. E. The fish will go bad within hours. F. When buying fish, you should first smell it. G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎16. G ‎17. D ‎18. F ‎19. A ‎20. B ‎18. F考查上下文串联。根据“Fresh fish should smell ‎ sweet”可知，本段讲的是买鱼的时候要闻一下鱼的气味，故选F。‎ ‎19. A考查上下文串联。根据前一句“Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.”可知，带有强烈的味道的鱼都不是新鲜的，不应该买这样的鱼，A项与后句联系紧密，故选A。‎ ‎20. B考查上下文串联。根据“Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot”可知，本段介绍的是蒸鱼的方法，故选B。‎ 考点：生活类短文阅读 ‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ 高考七选五解题方法 ‎1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。‎ ‎2.分析句型，了解语法构成 ‎3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。‎ ‎4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。例如第16空，第19空和第20空都与它们的前一句有联系。‎ ‎5.带入通读，复查 做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做"连错"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其它空。‎ ‎4.【2016·北京】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Science of Risk-Seeking ‎ Sometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 71 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.‎ ‎ The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 72 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.‎ ‎ So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much ‎ risk-taking could get one Killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 73 ‎ ‎ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 74 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.‎ Mean taking some risks, so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.‎ ‎ 75 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.‎ ‎ As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.‎ A. It all depends on your character.‎ B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.‎ C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.‎ D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.‎ E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.‎ F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.‎ G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎71. F72. C73. A74. E75. G ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：文章从科学上对追求冒险和刺激进行了解释。冒险行为与大脑的工作机制有关，当大脑的快乐中枢被激活时，人们就会采取冒险行为。‎ ‎71. F考查上下文串联。前一句提到了“weigh the risk and the reward”，F项“然而，并不是所有人都使用同样的参考标准来权衡风险和回报”符合语境，故选F。‎ ‎72. C考查上下文串联。hunting, fighting, or exploring狩猎、战斗和探索等活动是生存的必要条件，C项中的those是对这些活动的指代，故选C。‎ ‎73. A考查上下文串联。根据“humans developed a range of character types...”可知，人们形成的不同类型的性格如今仍然存在，正是不同的性格类型才导致了我们对冒险行为采取不同的态度，故选A。‎ ‎74. E考查上下文串联。E项中的when与“your willingness to take risks increases during your ‎ teenage years”中的teenage years对应，故选E。‎ ‎75. G考查上下文串联。根据“a part of the brain...while for the rest of us...”可知，本段讲的是冒险行为与大脑的关系，故选G。‎ 考点：科研类短文阅读 ‎ 【名师点睛】‎ ‎  1、先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。　‎ ‎2、再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。    3、注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。    4、注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。   5、注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，aswellas，neithernor，eitheror，notonly...butalso，ononehand....ontheotherhand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。‎ ‎5.【2016·四川】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 16 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.‎ One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 17 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.‎ ‎18   ‎ They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.19    Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 20   A．However, women, on average, live longer. B .The biological factor plays an important part. C. Women are also helped by their female genes. D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way. E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities. F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life. G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions.‎ ‎【答案】16.A 17.G 18.D 19.C 20.E ‎【名师点睛】‎ 在做七选五时一定要注意空格前后句子的暗示词，可以准确确定空格上的选项。比如第20小题，Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 20  句中的Some --- Others ---，是关键词，从这里知道这是两种观点。根据空格前两句：一些人认为女性身体细胞有一个比男性老化慢的倾向，另一些人认为男性身体细胞有一个老化快的倾向。可知E项符合题意。“最近研究似乎支持这两种可能”。故选E。‎ 考点：考查信息匹配 ‎6.【2016·浙江】下面文章中有5处（第61-65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（ABCDE和F）中选出符合各段意思的小题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。‎ A.

Get smart about the people who you spend your time with F. Your major does not matter as much in your first of college ‎ Five Things Nobody Told Me about College As I type this , I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:‎ ‎61 ‎ Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of attendance . During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.‎ ‎62 ‎ ‎ In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships ,and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.‎ ‎63 ‎ College is where you meet your birdesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about ‎ the people who you invest yourself in . You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.‎ ‎64 ‎ As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor, asking him for support towards my initiavives, met with the Vive Chancellors, and coorerated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.‎ ‎65 ‎ At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all or your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study,pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience.

Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.‎ ‎ But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?‎ ‎ So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?‎ ‎ First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.‎ ‎ It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__74__‎ ‎ Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____75_‎ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.‎ A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.‎ B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.‎ C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.‎ D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.‎ E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.‎ F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.‎ G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.‎ ‎【考点定位】生活类短文阅读 ‎【名师点睛】本文是七选五常考的建议类说明文，第1、2自然段为概念的提出及导入，第3段明确了下文的内容：如何在“白日做梦”中趋利避害。文章结构清晰，干扰选项较易排除，整体难度不大，文章的主题“如何培养创新的想法”，除了理解整篇文章及选项外还要注意文章中的副词，代词，逻辑连接词以及特殊概念名词的出现。文章结构清晰，可读性强，提示词明显。因此，日常练习中要侧重以抓住文章结构及段落主旨为主，兼顾辨析选项，尤其是根据核心词排除干扰项的做题技巧。学生需要遵循先易后难的原则，来提高正确率。‎ ‎2. 【2015·新课标全国II】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find.

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? __37__‎ ‎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? __38__ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.‎ ‎3. __39__ 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. __40__ 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.

B　根据第一句中的ability, money and time可知人们不经常做饭有三个原因。下文的“Money is a topic I'll save for another day.”和“…about how to make the most of the time…”谈及money和time，故本句谈的是ability的话题。故B符合上下文语境。‎ ‎37. G　根据本段内容可知作者建议提前思考，做好准备，再根据上文 “So think ahead of the coming week.”以及下面的问题可知我们要提前做好计划，准备好材料，这样可以节省很多时间和精力。故G项符合上下文语境。‎ ‎38. C　根据“It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.”可知一次再多做一点(与少做一点相比)花的时间差不多，再根据最后一句“So save yourself the effort for a future meal.”可知一次多做一点还可以为未来节省精力。故作者建议我们一次要多做一些，让我们的时间更有价值。故C正确。‎ ‎2013年高考试题 ‎【2013北京卷】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Urbanization ‎ Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 71_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.‎ ‎ Britain was only the beginning. 72_ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.‎ ‎ In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 73 .‎ ‎ Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _74 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.‎ ‎ Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 75_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.‎ A. That kept cities very small. ‎ B. The rest live in small towns.‎ C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered. ‎ D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.‎ E.

Only about 2% live on farms”目前，超过82%的美国人住在城市，只有2%的人住在农场，在讲完了82%和2%之后，还有剩下的人呢，住在哪里呢？因此可以推断出，下一句讲述的是the rest即，其余的人住在什么地方。因此，选择B，意为，其余的人住在城镇里。‎ ‎ 【考点定位】推理判断。‎ ‎74.【答案】A ‎ 【解析】‎ ‎ 【考点定位】推理判断，根据前一句的”It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities”可知，要有95个人在农场里工作，才能养活5个城市里的人，因此城市里居住的人肯定要少，规模肯定很小，因此选择A项，意为这种原因导致了城市规模很小。‎ ‎75.【答案】F ‎ 【解析】根据后面的“ Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers”可知，现在一个美国人在农场里工作，可以养活100多个非农美国人，因此现代化让农民更加多产，让更多的人可以居住在城市里。‎ ‎ 【考点定位】推理判断 ‎【2013全国新课标II】根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。‎ Public Speaking Training ‎·Get a coach ‎ 51 ，so get help.

But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. ‎ ‎ Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：‎ ‎(1) Get support.

Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. __72__ They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.‎ ‎(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you.

After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. __74__ Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.‎ ‎ (4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.‎ ‎ These steps aren't magic, but they do work.

Turn on the TV, and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72___‎ There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high selfrespect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.‎ Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__“Academics are important. But if you don't have emotional(情感的) intelligence, you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，”she says.‎ What't the best way to up your EQ(情商)？For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__‎ To really develop empathy, you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.‎ A．Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.‎ B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.‎ C．“One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，”Freed says.‎ D．Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.‎ E．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.‎ F．Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of“emotional intelligence”that will help you succeed in many areas of life.‎ G．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.‎ ‎【要点综述】本文是一篇社会科学方面的论文，内容是Empathy(同感，共鸣)。文章遵循“下定义——列举现象——分析原因——正面导向——方法指导”的思路写成。结构严谨。‎ ‎71.

We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.‎ ‎ 36.When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.‎ ‎ You are unique and have special talents.

You are not your sister. ‎ ‎ You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong.   38.‎ ‎   39.Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true.    40.‎ A. You have the power to change your future.‎ B. So focus on your own passions and talents.‎ C.

C 根据本段最后一句Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.多年以后，我发现几乎所有人都这样想过。所以我并不是唯一的有这样想法的人。故C项符合本段中心思想。‎ ‎37. B 根据本段第一句You are unique and have special talents.你是独一无二的，你有你自己特殊的才能。所以我们要关注的是自己而不是他人，故B项“So focus on your own passions and talents.”符合上下文串联。‎ ‎38. G 根据本段第一句You need to stop chasing perfection.你需要停止追求完美。因为完美的标准是不一样的，完美也没有客观的标准来衡量。所以很多人都担心自己不完美，这样就会带来很多的压力。故G项符合上下文串联。‎ ‎39. E 根据横线后一句Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts.我们的自我价值感根植于我们自己的思想。所以我们要改变自己的思维模式，那样我们才不会认为自己不完美而产生压力。故E项符合上下文串联。‎ ‎40.

By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.  38 It included such items as automobiles and 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 and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment.  39     ‎ On 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 level?‎ ‎   A 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.  40 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.‎ A.

This is really interesting. I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment.‎ ‎62. ______‎ ‎ Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take: "And let me tell you, go through this pipe." But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head, and it's a part of the process.‎ ‎63. ______‎ ‎ So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set — time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it, over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was ‎ guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you're growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and that's great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There's no time to settle down.‎ ‎64. ______‎ ‎ I constantly see people saying, "Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest." "Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well." Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations." If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible for your dreams.‎ ‎65. ______‎ Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!" Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, "Okay, let's go down." Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, it's a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.‎ ‎【答案】 ‎ ‎61.D ‎62.F ‎63.A ‎64.C ‎65.E ‎62.F考查对段落的理解。根据本段的No one else has the perfect answers for your life.可知本段的意思是：没有人替你负责，只有你自己。所以这里选F（相信有人会对你负责。）与上下文一致。‎ ‎63.A考查对段落的理解。 根据本段最后There's no time to settle down可知本段的意思是：努力就会达到更高峰，所以这里选A（认为成功在望就停滞不前。）与上下文一致。‎ ‎64.C 考查对段落的理解。根据本段最后But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible for your dreams.可知本段的意思是：你是自己梦想的负责人。所以这里选C（错误在别人。）与上下文一致。‎ ‎65.E 考查对段落的理解。根据本段最后The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.可知本段的意思是：实现梦想只是生活中的一部分，所以这里选E（只关注梦本身。）与上下文一致。‎ ‎12.【安徽省“皖南八校”2016届高三第二次联考】 Learning another language is an exciting trip into a new world, and it can take some time and effort to get there.

Even the best students feel the pressure. The first sign of a problem while preparing for an exam is worry. 36 If we can get rid of worries, or at least control them, then we’re in a much better position to do well on our tests. Take the following steps to survive exam stress and increase your overall performance as a result.‎ ‎ 37 What causes you anxiety when you are studying? Too much noise? Then move to a quieter place. Delayed work? Catch up with your studies a couple nights before. That way you can save the final night before the exam to review and get a good night of sleep.‎ The second way to deal with worry is to replace thoughts. Suppose you wake up at three in the morning and you’re worried about an exam. What do you do? 38 Doing something productive might allow you to sleep better when you finally do go back to bed.‎ Another way to replace negative thoughts is to do something physically active. Work out. Take a quick walk or a nice run. 39 For example, I might worry about the exam having surprise questions that I’m not prepared to answer. But I can put those thoughts aside by reminding myself that I’ve taken many exams and I’ve handled surprise questions before.‎ The third option is to treat the symptoms. Keep things in perspective. Think of one final exam that causes you the most anxiety. Now think of the worst thing that could happen. If you’ve prepared, then likely the worst grade you could get is a C. And, if you’ve been applying what we’ve been talking about, then you’ll likely do no worse than a B. 40 ‎ A. How bad is that really?‎ B. The first is to delete the causes.‎ C. Another idea is to think positive thoughts.‎ D. Worry robs us of energy, focus and motivation.‎ E. How about getting up and studying for an hour?‎ F. What we should do is to think positively and get rid of it.‎ G. So we are supposed to make our effort to improve our surroundings.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎36.D ‎37.B ‎38.E ‎39.C ‎40.A ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：文章对怎样在考试压力中“存活”下来提出了建议。‎ ‎36.D根据前后文的句子都提到worry（担忧），因此这里也是在讨论worry。故选D。‎ ‎37.B结合后一句What causes you anxiety when you are studying?当你学习时什么造成你焦虑？以及后面的The second…The third…可知这里是在列举建议，而这一段处于第二段，所以应该是第一个建议。故选B。‎ ‎38.E根据前面的Suppose you wake up at three in the morning and you’re worried about an exam.假如你在早上三点醒来，并且很担心考试。那么你会做什么来让心里好受一点再回到床上继续睡觉呢？再根据选项可知，起床学习一个小时或许是个好办法。故选E。‎ ‎39.C根据前文Another way to replace negative thoughts is to do something physically active.另一个取代消极思想的方法是做一些身体上活跃的事情。可知这里谈的东西是和消极积极思想有关的东西。故选C。‎ ‎40.A根据前文you’ll likely do no worse than a B.你可能不会比得到B做得更差。可知最后是想表达那真的是有很坏吗？故选A。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ ‎【七选五题型分析】‎ 分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，英语的语篇（discourse）通常是由句子和语段（sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的“积句而成章，积章而成篇。”就是这个道理。‎ 分析文章的层次包含两种形式：‎ 一、 分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落；‎ 例如第37题，就是考察文章的段落于段落之间的关系。结合后一句What causes you anxiety when you are studying?当你学习时什么造成你焦虑？以及后面的The second…The third…可知这里是在列举建议，而这一段处于第二段，所以应该是第一个建议。故选B。‎ 二、 分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。‎ 语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。‎ 构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。‎ 考点：考查社会现象类短文阅读。‎ ‎2015年模拟题 ‎1.【海南省嘉积中学2015届高三下学期大测（三）】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（10分）‎ Maybe you are an average student.

We tell him to get home before dark, but he is often late, and then we wait, worry and sometimes get close to calling the police. And so what happens when he does come home? We have a big argument. Can you help us? ‎ Answer: Your son should, of course, come in before dark, not because you say so, but because it is his responsibility and because you would worry about him if he didn’t come home when he promised. 1________________ Just tell him that he has to be home on time if he wants to go out next time — and that this is his choice, not yours.‎ His disrespect is part of a bigger issue. Your son desires independence because the young always do when they hit puberty (青春期), somewhere between 13 and 16. New hormones (荷尔蒙), a new ability to think in abstractions and a new need to pull away from their parents all contribute to this desire. 2_________________ ‎ Your son may also be acting up because your discipline hasn’t kept up with his growth. A child hates to be corrected when his parents use the same words and same tone of voice they used when correcting him a year ago. 3___________ ‎ He won’t even argue with you too much, as long as you listen to his rants (咆哮) and consider his reasons when you have to say no. These are all signs that you know that your respect is as important to him as his respect is to you. 4__________ This doesn’t accomplish anything and is bound to worsen your relationship.‎ Your child not only needs your respect, he also needs you to encourage his dreams, no matter how strange they are. 5___________ Now is the time to lower your expectations, give as few orders as possible (but stick to the ones you give), pay more attention to your son’s good behavior than his bad, and give twice as many smiles as you get.‎ A.

Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.‎ ‎ 36 ‎ For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must ‎ recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals (彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a “read through”. By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.‎ Listen to your cast members.‎ Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 37 This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play’s dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene (剧情). Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. 39 Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members(参演人员), and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.‎ Think positively and don’t panic.‎ Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don’t freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 40 ‎ A. Record your lines.‎ B. Practice makes perfect.‎ C. Read lines loud and repeat them.‎ D. Read lines loud and remember them in a short time.‎ E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.‎ F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines.‎ G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times.‎ ‎【文章大意】常常在电影或电视剧中看到男主角或是女主角在演戏的时候台词对答如流，一点差错也没有，是否会惊叹不已？是演员们的记忆力好，还是他们有特殊的记忆方法？本篇文章为你揭晓其中的奥秘。‎ ‎36. C。考查上下文和句意理解。根据下文的句子“For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. ”‎ ‎ (对于绝大多数演员来说，没有快速的记忆台词的方法。要学会台词，一个演员必须反复地大声背诵这个剧目)可知此处应该填“Read lines loud and repeat them. ”(大声朗诵台词并且重复台词。)，才能和下文相吻合，而B项的意思为：熟能生巧，放在这里指向不够具体。故答案选C。‎ ‎37. G。考查上下文和句意理解。根据上文的句子“Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. ”(有时没有经验的演员们用排练的时间看着其他的演员们，耐心地等待着去说他们下一句台词。)可知此处答案应该是: Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times. (相反，他们应该一直仔细地倾听，任何时候都要从角色的角度来作出反应。)，即告诉没有经验的演员们正确的做法。故答案选G。‎ ‎39. F。考查上下文和句意理解。根据前面的内容“They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene (剧情). Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. ”(他们使用一个磁带录音机或一个MP3播放器来听每一个相关剧情的台词。一些演员喜欢录下所有角色的台词，包括他们自己的。)和后面的内容“Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members (参演人员), and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording. ”(其他的人喜欢录下参演人员的台词，并且他们也留空以便他们在听录音的时候能插入他们的对话。)可知此处应该填Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines.(接下来他们不仅仔细听，而且听所有的台词。)这一句是用来承接上下文的。所以答案是F。‎ ‎40. E。考查上下文和句意理解。根据上文的句子“If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. ”(如果不幸地是有一次你忘记了一句台词，你可能永远不会再忘记那句台词了。)可知此处应该是：Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.

Pretend to asleep yourself While it’s not very effective way to help your baby sleep, if you don’t know what else you can do, this way is worth trying. When you’re lying down with your little one, pretend to be asleep yourself and see if it works. 40 ‎ A. It can help your little one be more ready for a sleep.‎ B. It can help your baby grow healthier and brighter soon.‎ C. One of the best ways to help your baby sleep is rocking.‎ D. Your baby needs naps and you as a parent need them too.‎ E. When you play music loudly enough, your baby will sleep quickly.‎ F. When your house is quiet and everyone is quiet, your baby may fall asleep too.‎ G.

D 考查上下文和句意理解。根据前文的内容“每位父母都知道对付不想睡觉的孩子有多难”可知，你的孩子需要小睡，作为父母的你们也需要小睡。故答案选D。‎ ‎37. C 考查上下文和句意理解。根据本段的小标题Rocking可知，本空应该是：“帮助你的孩子入睡的一种最好的方式就是摇晃”。故答案选C。‎ ‎38. A 考查上下文和句意理解。根据下文“I recommend you to try sounds such as ocean waves, the wind rushing through the trees or the sound of rain. Soft music can also be calming to your child. ”可知，海浪声、风掠过树梢的声音、雨声及轻柔的音乐都可以让你的孩子平静下来”。另外本段的小标题是White noise即有利于睡眠的声音，所以不能选B，因为B项与上下文没有关系。故正确答案选A。‎ ‎39. G 考查上下文和句意理解。根据下文“It’s very important to have your child on a schedule and have a sleeping pattern. ”可知，让你的孩子有作息时间表并且形成一种睡眠习惯是很重要的。因此空处应是“你的孩子很难入睡的一个原因就是没有作息时间表”。故答案选G。‎ ‎40. F 考查上下文和句意理解。根据上文“When you’re lying down with your little one, pretend to be asleep yourself and see if it works. ”可知，当你和孩子躺下来，假装你自己睡着了，看看是否会起作用。因此“当你的房子安静了，每个人都安静了的时候，你的孩子也可能会入睡”符合逻辑。故正确答案为F。‎ 字数：223‎ 考点：考查信息匹配 出处：http://www.en8848.com.cn/article/life/babies/70280.html ‎6.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Everyone wants to be happy, but do you know the secret about it?

If you can’t remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 36 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.‎ Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you. I’m just looking.”? Both you and she know that if you aren’t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 37 Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”.‎ ‎ 38 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”. Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.‎ Reading is not one single activity. 39 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.‎ This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 40 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one’s own personal reactions. Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.‎ A. This is an effective studying way.‎ B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.‎ C. You remember better when you know what you’re reading.‎ D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.‎ E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.‎ F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.‎ G. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting.‎ ‎【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. D 40. B ‎37.

Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow．‎ ‎ 39 Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant.

A job search can take time, especially if you don't have much experience. Here's how to ensure you're a top-notch candidate for the jobs you are applying for. ‎ Be Persistent. Wait a few days, then follow-up your application with a phone call to the hiring manager reiterating your interest. If you have applied in person, stop in again and mention that you are really interested in the opportunity. ‎ Don't Stop. Don't apply at one place and wait for the phone to ring. Complete as many job applications as you can, and consider a variety of positions. 36 .‎ ‎ 37 . Applicants who are only available for limited hours are less likely to get hired than those who are flexible as to when they can work. For example, one candidate for a summer job told the employer that they were only available on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Compare that to another applicant who selected "any" on the Hours Available section of the job applicant and you can see why the second applicant got the job. ‎ Use Your Connections. 38 . Does your mom shop regularly at the store where you'd like to work? If so, have her mention that you're looking for a job. That's how I got my first job and how my brother got his first job at the drug store across the street. ‎ Dress Appropriately. When applying for jobs, dress as though you had the job. If you're applying for a retail position, for example, visit the store before you apply to see what the staff is wearing.‎ ‎ 39 . When in doubt, dress up, not down. ‎ Don't Give Up. Job searching isn't easy, especially when you don't have much experience or many skills. 40 . Your first job will be a stepping stone to your next job - and to your future career. ‎ A．Don’t stop to look for a job.‎ B．The more you apply, the better chance you have of finding a job. ‎ C．Be Flexible.‎ D．It will give you an idea as to how you should dress.‎ E．You shouldn’t apply for different jobs at the same time．‎ F．If you have a connection, use it.‎ G． Keep trying and keep applying and you will find a job.‎ ‎36-40BCFDG ‎36.根据Complete as many job applications as you can, and consider a variety of positions.可知要尽可能多投简历，才有更多的机会得到工作的机会。故选B。‎ ‎37.根据Applicants who are only available for limited hours are less likely to get hired than those who are flexible as to when they can work.因为申请工作的时候如果有时间限制，那么自己得到工作机会就小，所以要时间要灵活。故选C。‎ ‎38.根据Use Your Connections.可知这里叙述的是要尽量利用可以利用的关系来为你的服务。故选F。‎ ‎39.根据visit the store before you apply to see what the staff is wearing.可知这里叙述的是在找工作的时候要注意自己的着装。故选D。‎ ‎40.根据Don't Give Up.可知这里指的是不要放弃找工作，要坚持不懈，最终会找到工作的。故选G。‎ http://jobsearch.about.com/od/teenstudentgrad/a/firstjob.htm ‎12. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ THINK 'ADDING VALUE' (and you'll get more money)‎ Most people either 'like' their job, 'loathe' their job or 'love' their job. Everyone wants to make ‎ more money regardless of how they feel about their job. The secret to making more money is, focus on adding value. Think less of what you can have or acquire. _____36______You don't always have to do more though we always can do more. What you might consider is 'doing different'. Let me explain.‎ ‎1. Do you choose to be happy at work? It's a choice. And you can do it. It's a lot of 'mind over matter'. Mind what's important and the rest doesn't matter. ______37______ When you choose to be happy, you will affect others in the workplace.‎ ‎2. _______38_______Michael's definition of a 'drag' is, a person who 'drastically reduces all good.' Of course, they have a bad attitude. If you're this kind of person, you can change. Start being positive. Start by giving subtle and honest praise to co-workers. If you've been a 'drag', don't go to work tomorrow being Pollyana. Just start looking for authentic reasons to give others some praise. It will set you apart from everyone else. People will perceive you as being more caring and more interested in them. Your influence will skyrocket especially if you're in an environment where there is little praise and encouragement.‎ ‎3. CHOOSE what you are going to think. Most people have relinquished control of their brains to CNN, ABC, NBC, 'the way things are', society, drama, negativity and the like. It's time to take back charge of your brain. Get your focus directed. Like Paul said in the bible, "Think on these things. Things that are true, are of a good report, are honorable, are positive." _____39_____If you have nothing to read that is positive, send me your email address and I'll send you a free copy of my 'Powerful Attitudes' e-book. Read a little every morning. It will positively and powerfully affect the rest of your day.‎ When you change you, you will add value in your workplace. Like the late great business philosopher, Jim Rohn said, "You can take out the garbage at McDonalds and earn minimum wage. But if you take out the garbage and whistle as you do it every day, you're likely to earn 50 cents more per hour." ‎ Add value to your workplace by controlling your own attitude. _______40_______.‎ A. Start your day by reading something positive.‎ B. Think more of what you can do, produce or create. ‎ C. Just be yourself and create a strong self image.‎ D. Are you a 'drag'?‎ E. Your attitude and your happiness is important.‎ F. Fall in love with it.‎ G. You will advance faster and in time, make a lot more money.‎ ‎【答案】‎ B E D A G 考查段落大意：根据本段的句子：Michael's definition of a 'drag' is, a person who 'drastically reduces all good.'可知：这是对drag的定义，所以这段讲的是如果你是一个无趣的人该怎么改变，答案是D。‎ 考查上下文和句意理解：根据下文的句子：If you have nothing to read that is positive, send me your email address and I'll send you a free copy of my 'Powerful Attitudes' e-book.可知：每天找一些积极的东西阅读，答案是A 考查上下文和句意理解：根据标题的句子：THINK 'ADDING VALUE' (and you'll get more money)，可知这里是照应文章的主旨，这里是再次总结，还有最后一段的句子：Add value to your workplace by controlling your own attitude.可知：在工作中加入一些额外的价值，你迟早会挣更多的钱，答案是G。‎ 考点：考查信息匹配 ‎ ‎13. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Maybe you are an average student.
