高三英语一轮复习《七选五阅读理解》专项练习题（含答案）
It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English ___1___
Listen and follow up
First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” ___2___ Where did you go in Canada What was your favorite place there
How was the food there
Avold simple “yes” or “no” questions
If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.
For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie ” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” ___3___ You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you ”
___4___
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly.

___14___.I’ll start by choosing a place to have morning coffee or breakfast. After that, I’ll let a local suggest what to do.

It's true that turning off lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power.____17____On one level, joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and what we can do in everyday life to protect nature.

I always loved jokes and cartoons. They can be serious as they point out the silliness in our lives, convey a wise message of wisdom and at the same time bring a smile. Sometimes there is little difference between a joke and life wisdom. ____26____.
I started collecting jokes I received from different sources over a period of some 25 years. For the book I chose for an “Anglo-Saxon” collection. They are typical for the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Where are they from Who wrote them ____27____, Most are everywhere, floating anonymously (匿名地) on the internet, and circulate among friends, e-mails, chat groups and mailing lists. Many come up over a beer.
The language of humor is not universal and translating into another language mostly does not work. ____28____. Living in China for a long time, I gave up telling jokes as our Chinese friends find nothing funny in them and they can lead to misunderstandings. ____29____. Trying to translate Chinese jokes also would mostly fail to convey anything “funny” for us Westerners; I can say I cannot recall any Chinese joke.
While at a first sight the book may not be interesting to Chinese readers, due to the cultural differences, ____30____, as well as to learn a different vocabulary. Also, for those who deal with Westerners, here in China or when abroad, they might surprise their foreign friends by serving them some jokes they can appreciate.
A．Different cultures have a different understanding of what is “funny”
B．Generally speaking, nobody knows the original source
C．they wonder why there are so many about the Westerners
D．Worse, they start asking a million questions of the why and what and how

Most of us haven’t been taught how to apologize (道歉). Sometimes our efforts tend to be hurtful and can make people feel even worse. When the apology is absent or it’s a bad apology, it puts a crack in the very foundation of a relationship and can even end it. And that’s why it is important to get it right. A good and responsible apology can meet the moment and improve our relationships. ___31___
Less is more.
Keep your apology short and avoid the drama. If you’ve forgotten to return your friend’s bike, you don’t have to overdo it as if you’ve run over her kitten. Over-apologizing is not only annoying — it affects the flow of the conversation and shifts (转移) the focus away from the person who needs to be paid attention to. ___32___ .
No ifs or buts.
When you’re apologizing for something, it’s essential to show true sadness and regret. ___33___ . “But” almost always means a criticism, or an excuse. It doesn’t matter whether what you say after the “but” is true. The “but” makes your apology false.
___34___ .
If you always listen for what you don’t agree with in order to defend yourself and correct the facts, it will do harm to both sides. Instead, you should keep an open mind and listen with an aim to understand the other person.
___35___ . An apology isn’t the only chance you ever get to address the existing issue. The apology is also the chance to establish the ground for future communication. When done with attention and care, an apology can be a channel for greater understanding and deeper connection.
A．Be real
B．Drop your defenses
C．Here are some tips to offer an apology
D．You’ve made the apology all about you
E．A good apology is a beginning, not an end
F．A sincere apology does not include ifs or buts
G．It’s not “I’m sorry” that fixes the problem, but your deeds
Getting along with people can be tough. ___36___
Accept human nature.
Humans make mistakes. People aren’t always nice. They also have all of the problems that you have in your life. ___37___ This is important to remember when you’ re trying to get along with people who are very difficult or seem to be ignoring you; everyone is just doing the best that they can.
___38___
People are all very different: that’s what makes life interesting. And just like people are all different, the world is also very complex. Every situation is different, always. Just because someone doesn’t make the choice that you would make or just because they take a less efficient or smart path to get where they’re going doesn’t make them wrong.
Practice forgiveness.
___39___ Sometimes you just have to stop and give people the benefit of the doubt (to believe someone even though you are not sure whether what the person is saying is true). They might really be sorry or they might really not know that what they did was bad. You have to forgive them so that you can move on to happier feelings.
Do something together.
___40___ You can work together on a project for school or work. You can also try a new activity together. These activities will give you more to talk about and lots of chances to interact and get to know each other.
A．Think about what your words really say.
B．Respect that there are lots of valid choices.
C．The following are some suggestions that can help you in some way.
D．Everyone is dealing with their own set of problems.
E．Doing things together is a great way to bond with people and make friends.
F．Forgive people when they do make mistakes.
G．Even when someone’s making you mad, thank them for their effort to help or their suggestions.
Happy people have habits you can introduce into your everyday life. Here are some of them. They surround themselves with other happy people.
Joy can spread. Researchers of the Framingham Heart Study who studied the spread of happiness over 20 years found that those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in the future. ____41____
They try to be happy.
Yes. It’s as simple as it sounds. ____42____ According to two studies recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, those who actively tried to feel happier in the studies reported the highest level of positive moods(心情), making a case for thinking yourself happy.
They are mindful of the good.
____43____ However, happy people give attention to their smaller victories, too. “When we take time to notice the things that go right, it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day,” says Susan Weinschenk, a Ph.D．in Psychology.
They devote some of their time to giving.
Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others, which, in return, does some good for the do-gooders themselves. A long-term research project called Americans’ Changing Lires found a series of benefits associated with altruism(利他主义).____44____People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression.
____45____
“When you listen, you open up your ability to take in more knowledge,” writes David Mezzapelle, author of Contagious Optimism. Good listening is a skill that strengthens relationships and leads to more satisfying experiences. A good listener may walk away from a conversation feeling as if their presence served a purpose, which is closely connected with increased happiness.

B．They smile when they mean it.
C．Just trying to be happy can lift your spirits.
D．Volunteer work was good for both mental and physical health.
E．This is reason enough to spend more time with cheerful people.
F．It’s important to celebrate great hard earned accomplishments.
G．Happy people take the time to appreciate these easy-to-come-by pleasures.
How to Reduce Gift Wrap Waste
Wrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ___46___ Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.
Reuse what you have. ____47____ It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse.
Use different materials. ___48___ Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.
___49___ Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with.
Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper Make paper with recycling in mind!” ___50___

G．Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies.
Social Phobia
It’s natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. ____51____ It’s probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).
____52____ It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.
It is really sad, isn’t it But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course it’s not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and the willingness to practice. ____53____
Therapists (治疗师) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them. ____54____Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way.
Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. ____55____ As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.

Yes, we are talking about the smart garbage can.
___57___ The environmental problems have become constant headaches in the development of those cities. Encouraging garbage classification has become an effective way.
In some cities, a variety of multifunctional smart garbage cans are being put into use. In Beijing, for example, a smart garbage can is equipped with an LED screen, which not only shows national policies on garbage classification but also shows the correct steps for garbage sorting. It can also calculate the weight of the garbage and the accumulated points one can get. They can be traded for some articles of daily use. ___58___ Its body is actually a screen. It is equipped with some Internal sensors. When people throw garbage into it, the internal sensors can automatically tell the types of the garbage. Meanwhile, people can see how to deal with them. ___59___
Garbage disposal is a small issue that involves everybody each day. However, it is also a big issue.___60___ With smart garbage cans in our daily life, the idea of garbage sorting will become more established.

There is no escaping our evolution into a cashless society. The idea that all transactions (交易) can be completed digitally is becoming more realistic day by day. ____61____As it is, people increasingly demand low-touch or contactless payments with growing concerns over the spread of viruses and diseases. A cashless society would give rise to a new era for financial deals. The key benefits would include lower crime rates, easier foreign transactions, and reduced risks and costs. The idea of a cashless society appears very common in our society.____62____
Economic inequality and inclusivity (包容性) are fundamental issues still present worldwide.____63____ The unbanked and poor could face significant challenges with digital modes of payment. In fact, most of the unbanked view the cashless movement as an unfair act against those without bank accounts.
For a cashless society, there needs to be an understanding and acceptance by governments and payment providers of the financial inclusion issues currently in existence.____64____ There are also the elderly and the disabled who face their own challenges with rapid digitalization and technological advancement. There are still parts of society that lack trust in digital payments or have barriers to accessing mobile phones and the Internet.
____65____ It is also about to launch a national digital currency (货币), the world’s first. Nearly everything can be transacted by digital means here. As we prepare for the consequence of COVID-19, and use the model set by China, other countries need to take it upon themselves to provide a harmonious, effective, and cashless society — one that does not leave anyone behind.
A．However, this is far from reality.

An old friend of mine was in town and organized a get-together. A mutual friend asked me if I was going. I answered no because I wasn’t interested in it.
__66__ However, I just refused. Do you feel that you sometimes have to lie to spare people’s feelings I sure do. But I’m trying to do it less. Here’s why:
● ___67___
Do you feel it like a mini lack of good faith every time you say a white lie It doesn’t feel good because, at heart, you want to be honest.
● You have to remember lies.
Have you ever been caught in a lie I have. It feels untrustworthy. I don’t know about you, but my memory is not good enough to even remember all the true things I say. ___68___
● People respect the truth.
I had meant to go to a friend’s house for dinner once, but she called in the morning of the day to cancel. She said, “I’m sorry Susie but... I’m just so tired and I need today to rest.” I didn’t get angry at that moment. ___69___ And we had a nice phone call, instead.
● “No” is enough.
It’s so easy to give a quick “yes” and have regrets later, or makeup a lie to get out of something. But you don’t have to! You can say “no” at the start.
A calendar does not exist to be filled up_70_And there’s no shame in doing what you need, especially when you’re honest about it.
A．On the contrary, her frankness made me feel closer to her.

Do you want to be at the top of your class Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!
___71___ I cannot stress enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important. You don’t need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. ___72___ This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don’t skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. ___73___ However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in-class movies. Also, try not to be late for class. It’s most likely that your teacher won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
Keep a good attitude towards things. If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for a lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to teachers and other students. ___74___
Always ask questions. ___75___ If you don’t understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.
A．Be prepared.
B．Write in your own words.
C．Staying organised will be helpful.
D．There is no shame in needing some help.
E．Pay attention to everything the teacher says.
