It won't sound like a big surprise when I tell you that kindness plays an important role in a person's wellbeing. It can lead to changes like higher self-esteem (自尊心) and lower blood pressure. Even just witnessing acts of kindness can make us happier.
 1.   "From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab, those performing an act of kindness consistently underestimated how positive their receivers would feel, thinking their act was of less value than receivers perceived it to be," states a study.
 2.   Yet, why is there this difference between what we think someone will feel from an act of kindness versus what they do feel Why do we underestimate the impact we have on others
Many of us don't have a real sense of our value. It's been estimated that as many as 85 percent of people struggle with low self-esteem.  3.   This "voice" tends to shift our focus inward assessing our every move, and having bad effect on our relationships.
Unlike a conscience (良心), this inner critic doesn't motivate positive behavior.  4.   I encourages us to hold back feeding us thoughts like, "Don't stick your neck out": "No one wants to hear from you"; and "You're going to make a fool of yourself."
One wonderful way to fight against our critical inner voice is through acts of being kind to others.  5.   We must also try to see ourselves through the eyes of the people we affect. The degree to which we're able to do that will help determine our own happiness along with the happiness we light up in others.
A. However, the work doesn't stop there.
B. People may lower the value of their own kind comments.
C. We all carry around a "critical inner voice" that tends to put us down.
D. Instead of seeing what we have to offer, we may think of ourselves as a burden.
E. This misunderstanding suggests that people devalue their own actions in relation to others.
F. Instead, it turns us against ourselves, making us underestimate our beneficial effect on others.
G. Yet, people may not truly know the impact that even the smallest of kind acts can have on another person.

Not every day is going to be great. Not every day is going to be your wedding day, graduation, or birthday. We have our routines; we go to school and meet a lot of the same people. Usually long periods of time in our lives are devoted to doing a specific set of things. The stress of life can disconnect us from our surroundings and make it easier to lose touch with our need and emotions.  6.  
Essentially, casual magic is practicing the habit of seeing the beauty in small moments of mundane (单调的) life.  7.   In a study that investigated what this does to your mood, 282 participants were observed on the positive effect of something they did. Researchers found that being present and focusing on positive moments gave a higher positive effect and resulted in a higher life satisfaction.
 8.   Have you ever walked through a patch of forest or seen the sunshine over rooftops and noticed how vibrant the colors were Or have you ever felt a breeze on the side of your face You just need to learn how to treasure and enjoy these moments.
Now this is not to say that life shouldn't be negative and that we should just ignore all the bad things that happen in life.  9.   Such emotion may be a sign that it is time to propel change and growth. Negative things should be considered to be opportunities for learning and should not be dwelled upon.
Hence, I urge you to try it.  10.   Appreciate something small: the sunlight resting on a window curtain, how green the leaves are, the happiness of laughing with a friend, the taste of an ice-cream. Not every day is going to be the best day of your life; but it can still be special.
A. However, casual magic is the road to happiness. B. To prevent this, apply the concept of casual magic. C. An adequate example to practice casual magic is nature. D. Casual magic instead allows us to listen to and examine any negative feeling. E. Put aside your screen, be present and give yourself a chance to find that special moment. F. We should learn from negative things and move on to appreciating moments of casual magic. G. It is centered around curiosity and focuses the energy on observing and reflecting on the little things.

What Is Emotional Eating
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.  11.   Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.
 12.   One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce.  13.  
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done.  14.   It's not easy to "unlearn" patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what's going on.
We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.  15.  
Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.
A. Believe it or not, we've all been there. B. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. C. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. D. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream. E. That's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. F. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food. G. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.

The Case for Classics
Many high schoolers complain when they look at a course syllabus (大纲) for Chinese and see literary assignments that include The Story Of The Stone and other pieces of classic literature.  26.   But there are some good reasons why reading the classics is an important part of a 21st century education.
 27.   As students explore texts that were written hundreds of years before, they peer through a window into the world as it was in those days. Being able to hear those voices from the past is a privilege young people should be grateful to have.
Furthermore, as students examine classic works, they begin to see the fabric of history from a different perspective. Absorbed with their own daily activities, most teens rarely think about the fact that human civilization has been around for a long time.  28.   The experiences and perspectives of those people can provide important insights into the challenges that teenagers face today. The wording and style may have changed, but the underlying themes that stir the heart, including love, loss, courage, revolution, and humor, are as true today as they were for the authors of these early works.
One of the most important reasons to study classic literature, however, is to expand one's mind.  29.   To illustrate this, a group of scientists gathered volunteers who agreed to have their brains scanned while reading phrases from classic literature in both their original form and in modern translations. The result of the study showed a significant increase in the brain activity of people reading the original texts.
 30.   It connects students to the history and values of the broader human community. It challenges their minds with the ideas and words of people who came before them. Therefore, if today's teens are going to grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers, it is essential that classic literature remains a part of their education.
A. Clearly, that's why it is so important.
B. Classic literature is important in a high school education.
C. These were things that were on people's minds at that time.
D. Students often wonder why they have to study "ancient" writing.
E. Reading writings from long ago can be like stepping into a time machine.
F. Nor do they realize their lives are connected to the lives of the ancient people.
G. Learning to appreciate an unfamiliar style of writing can stretch the brain and help it grow stronger.

Mobile technology impacts all areas of our lives today. The early mobile phones, often referred to as 0G mobile phones, led to the phones used now which rely on 4G or 5G mobile technology. The mobile revolution has enabled global communities to form, but there are concerns too, the impact of which we look at here.
The mobile revolution has seen all of us spend more time online than ever before. Whether catching up with family, shopping, doing research, watching movies or gaming, all of these are now all possible at any time, wherever we are.

Whether you are placing an order for a new pair of jeans, researching the best financial advisor or wanting to play a casino game on the move like blackjack mobile, it is really easy to do all of these.  31.  
Since the launch of social media in 1997 with Six Degrees, which allowed users to upload a profile and make friends with other users, there are now many other social media platforms like Facebook (2004).  32.   These offer global communication on a scale never seen before which have led to the rise of social movements such as Black Lives Matter.
 33.   The Cambridge Analytica scandal (丑闻) concerning Facebook involved the harvesting of Facebook data of 87 million people that was used for advertising during elections. Also, for young people in particular, social media can harm their self-worth.
Mobile technology means that we have access to information at our fingertips wherever we are. "Google is your friend" is now listed in urban dictionaries, showing how many of us search for instant answers without doing more than pull out our phones or ask Alexa.  34.  
The mobile revolution has also seen a rise in fitness devices worn on the wrist. Not only recording lap times, fitness devices can also monitor pulse rates, blood pressure and sleeping patterns.  35.

What is a Food Critic
A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money.  46.  However some may also engage in more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth.  47.  A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food, from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes. Food critics also have very well-developed palates, and they may specialize in a particular area.
 48.  Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers, or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic. A handful of critics become well known and well respected, with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously, so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings.  49.  Implications of favoritism or bribery can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality.  50.  These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A. Food critics have the right to score the restaurant.
B. It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food.

Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem
It's often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require a change of perspective.  51.  
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.
How you change the order of the words doesn't matter much, as long as the key words are reversed.  52.   Your challenge is "How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work ". Swapping the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as "How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work " In this case, the first statement will make you think of alternative means of transportation, like trains or bikes, while the second statement will probably make you think of solutions like carpooling—fewer cars for the same number of people.
Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether.  53.  For instance, the question "how might we sell more washing machines " is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with "washing machines". Yet, when you rephrase the question to "How might we sell more washing machines to young parents " you can easily change it to "How might we sell more young parents to washing machines  54.   You could interpret this last sentence as "the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out". Then, you could start communicating to potential buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy efficient washing machine.
As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking.  55.   However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will "cost" you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.
A. The second problem statement is much more logical.
B. Often it helps to add one more key word to the sentence.
C. Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.
D. A great way to do this is by "reversing" your problem statement.
E. For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.
F. Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.
G. Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.

Craftsmanship requires a great deal of time, patience and effort.  56.   Traditionally craftsmen develop their skills through apprenticeship to those masters of the craft who came before them. Although we don't often work that way in this day and age. There are few things that we can do to emulate the process.
Practice everyday design something new, walk through a tutorial work on a personal project. Whatever it takes to getting you working with the tools of your trade each day, the more you do something, the better (and faster) you become at doing it.  57.  
Learn to accept criticism and react appropriately. People have a hard time taking criticism of their work. You put so much effort into a piece. it can be difficult to hear that what you have done is not good enough.  58.   criticism isn't personal, you and your critics have the same goal, a quality product.
 59.  . As I mentioned earlier, this is where all of the difference is made. A true artisan is careful about the details. Take the time to add polish and style to the small things. That can easily go overlooked. Attentiveness to these details raises the quality of our work.
Design for the future. Items that exhibit the quality of craftsmanship are timeless, They are built well, and built to last.  60.   There are always new features in the software we use. People develop new tools that give us more possibilities. But despite the ever-changing face of this industry, it is possible to do work that has longevity.

C. Trends and costumes change rapidly.
D. Building quality reputations is the key to building craftsmanship.
E. However, nothing will help you improve so much as a critic.
F. Practice is the most important part of developing the quality of craftsmanship.
G. So becoming a real artisan requires your continuous development of your craft.

I have met many westerners who do not feel anything to put their feet on the table while sitting on the chair. 61.  They don't feel like it is a strange or rude thing to do it. And I-know that they don't mean to be ill-behaved. However, in the eyes of a Myanmarese, it is really a very rude thing.
For Myanmarese, the head is the most sacred (神圣的) part of the human body while the feet are the most inferior part. 62.  They touch ground, dirt, mud and garbage. Just think of all the dirty things lying on the ground. So the Myanmarese regard feet as the most dirty and smelly part of one's body.
 63.  When you put that dirty part of your body onto other people's clean table, it is like an insult (侮辱) to that person if that person is a Myanmarese. There is nothing more insulting to a Myanmarese than to point your feet towards him.
So, if you want to win the heart of your Myanmarese friends, next time when you drop in on him or he visits you, try not to put your feet on the living room table or point your feet towards him. Indeed, your feet should never be pointing to the direction of a person or a sacred place. 64.  
Possibly, your Myanmarese friend will not say anything even if you do it. But it does not mean that he is OK with your behavior or approves of your behavior. 65.  Even if that person is your employee or your house maid, you should never do it to him or her.
A. This seems a normal habit to them.
B. In his heart he will consider you as a rude person.

D. This is the rule that you must strictly follow in Myanmar.

F. For Myunurese,the dirty part should only be in the lowest place.
G. Myannmarese people do not express themselves as directly as Westerners.

If you text often, you likely have a "texting style". Do you often use emojis Or what about using correct punctuation (标点) What do all these texting habits say about you To help you understand yourself, here are some texting styles that can tell you a lot about your personality.
Do you always use emojis when you're texting You're most likely someone who is open to showing your emotions and is truthful.  66.   To make sure the other person doesn't get the wrong idea about your messages, you make sure to express the tone of messages with an emoji, which can be often used as effective signals in modern social communication.
If you like to respond in one-word texts like a quick "Good", then you most likely have a more reserved personality, and aren't as open with your true thoughts and feelings. Because you are not as open with your emotions in texts, you may not care how lengthy your response is. But be careful.  67.  
Do you value punctuation and grammar in your writing This love of grammar goes straight into your texts as well as your emails. This seems like a great thing, doesn't it But in texting, people seem to think otherwise.

With this texting style, you are rooted in logic and always pay attention to the little details.
Are your texts lengthy and thoughtful  69.   Similar to someone who texts with perfect grammar, you are a thoughtful and detail-oriented person, who enjoys deep conversations and likes things that are controlled and stable.
 70.   Which texting personality are you Are you a mix of several types It's important to note that everyone has different ways of texting in different situations. Everyone texts their colleagues in a different style from their family or their friends.

A. Do you relate to any of these texting personalities

Farms of the Future
Skyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050, almost 80 percent of the earth's population could live in cities. The human population could increase to 9.1 billion people yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same.  71.  
Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.  72.  
Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would be grown with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment.  73.   These have been well recognized.
Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods are available all year round. Indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding. In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling insects would be minimal.
 74.   They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables.  75.   They would need additional light sources.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the planet's need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
A. Still, there are some people who are critical of vertical farms.
B. That is where vertical farms are often needed for year-round crops.
C. So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big problem.
D. For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for vertical farms.
E. Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions in big cities.
F. Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over distances.
G. They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our thinking from out to up.

阅读理解七选五(北京专版)新高考英语高频考点冲刺专练(解析卷)
1. (2023高三上·丰台期末)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。
It won't sound like a big surprise when I tell you that kindness plays an important role in a person's wellbeing. It can lead to changes like higher self-esteem (自尊心) and lower blood pressure. Even just witnessing acts of kindness can make us happier.
 1.   "From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab, those performing an act of kindness consistently underestimated how positive their receivers would feel, thinking their act was of less value than receivers perceived it to be," states a study.
 2.   Yet, why is there this difference between what we think someone will feel from an act of kindness versus what they do feel Why do we underestimate the impact we have on others
Many of us don't have a real sense of our value. It's been estimated that as many as 85 percent of people struggle with low self-esteem.  3.   This "voice" tends to shift our focus inward assessing our every move, and having bad effect on our relationships.
Unlike a conscience (良心), this inner critic doesn't motivate positive behavior.  4.   I encourages us to hold back feeding us thoughts like, "Don't stick your neck out": "No one wants to hear from you"; and "You're going to make a fool of yourself."
One wonderful way to fight against our critical inner voice is through acts of being kind to others.  5.   We must also try to see ourselves through the eyes of the people we affect. The degree to which we're able to do that will help determine our own happiness along with the happiness we light up in others.
A. However, the work doesn't stop there.
B. People may lower the value of their own kind comments.
C. We all carry around a "critical inner voice" that tends to put us down.
D. Instead of seeing what we have to offer, we may think of ourselves as a burden.
E. This misunderstanding suggests that people devalue their own actions in relation to others.
F. Instead, it turns us against ourselves, making us underestimate our beneficial effect on others.
G. Yet, people may not truly know the impact that even the smallest of kind acts can have on another person.
【答案】1.G;2.E;3.C;4.F;5.A
【知识点】七选五
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了善良在一个人的幸福中起着重要作用时,这听起来并不是一个大惊喜。然而令人惊讶的却是,人们可能并不真正知道哪怕是最小的善举也会对另一个人产生什么影响。这是因为一种“内心批判”在促使人们贬低自己对他人产生的价值。要摒弃掉自我内心批判,同时看到对他人的积极影响,能够做到这一点的程度将有助于决定我们自己的幸福以及我们在他人身上点燃的幸福。
【点评】考查七选五,本文是一篇介绍类阅读,要求在理解细节信息的基础上,着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
1.根据空后“‘From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab, those performing an act of kindness consistently underestimated how positive their receivers would feel, thinking their act was of less value than receivers perceived it to be,’ states a study.”一项研究称:“从在公园里送一杯热巧克力到在实验室里送一份礼物,那些表现出善意的人总是低估了接受者的积极感受,认为他们的行为没有接受者想象的那么有价值。”可知,该部分强调表现善意的人低估了自己的行为对他人的影响。G. Yet, people may not truly know the impact that even the smallest of kind acts can have on another person.“然而,人们可能并不真正知道哪怕是最小的善举也会对另一个人产生什么影响。”在句意上贴合该段主旨,符合语境,故选G。
2.根据空后“Yet, why is there this difference between what we think someone will feel from an act of kindness versus what they do feel Why do we underestimate the impact we have on others ”然而,为什么我们认为某人会从善意行为中感受到的与他们的真实感受之间存在差异?为什么我们低估了我们对他人的影响?提出了一系列的疑问并结合上文内容可推知,设空句应是一个结论句,且上文内容有关,应包含关键词“underestimate(低估,看轻)”含义。 E. This misunderstanding suggests that people devalue their own actions in relation to others. “这种误解表明,人们贬低自己与他人的关系。”符合语境,故选E。
3.根据空后“This ‘voice’ tends to shift our focus inward assessing our every move, and having bad effect on our relationships.”这种“声音”倾向于将我们的注意力转移到评估我们的一举一动,并对我们的关系产生不良影响。为第二次提出这种“声音”,说明设空句应是首次提到这种“声音”,且是一种产生消极影响的声音。 C. We all carry around a "critical inner voice" that tends to put us down. “我们都有一种‘批判的内心声音’,这种声音往往会让我们失望。”提出了名词“批判的内心声音”,符合语境,故选C。
4.根据空前“Unlike a conscience, this inner critic doesn't motivate positive behavior.”与良心不同,这种内心的批评不会激发积极的行为。提出了“内心批判”是消极的,可推知,设空句应进一步强调其消极性的具体影响,同时包含话题“贬低自己的影响”。F. Instead, it turns us against ourselves, making us underestimate our beneficial effect on others.“相反,它使我们与自己作对,使我们低估了自己对他人的有益影响。”讲到了内心批判对自己和对他人具体消极影响,且“Instead”与前文构成反义转折关系,前后衔接紧密。故选F。
5.根据空前“One wonderful way to fight against our critical inner voice is through acts of being kind to others.”对抗我们批判的内心声音的一个好方法是善待他人。提到了一个抵制内心批判的方式;以及空后“We must also try to see ourselves through the eyes of the people we affect.”我们还必须努力通过我们所影响的人的眼睛来看待自己。则提到了下一个步骤,可推知,设空句应是转折句,说明不仅仅有第一步,以承接后文。A. However, the work doesn't stop there.“然而,这项工作并不止于此。”为转折句,“the work”呼应前文内容,在句意上承接后文。故选A。
2. (2023高三上·大兴期末)任务型阅读
Not every day is going to be great. Not every day is going to be your wedding day, graduation, or birthday. We have our routines; we go to school and meet a lot of the same people. Usually long periods of time in our lives are devoted to doing a specific set of things. The stress of life can disconnect us from our surroundings and make it easier to lose touch with our need and emotions.  6.  
Essentially, casual magic is practicing the habit of seeing the beauty in small moments of mundane (单调的) life.  7.   In a study that investigated what this does to your mood, 282 participants were observed on the positive effect of something they did. Researchers found that being present and focusing on positive moments gave a higher positive effect and resulted in a higher life satisfaction.
 8.   Have you ever walked through a patch of forest or seen the sunshine over rooftops and noticed how vibrant the colors were Or have you ever felt a breeze on the side of your face You just need to learn how to treasure and enjoy these moments.
Now this is not to say that life shouldn't be negative and that we should just ignore all the bad things that happen in life.  9.   Such emotion may be a sign that it is time to propel change and growth. Negative things should be considered to be opportunities for learning and should not be dwelled upon.
Hence, I urge you to try it.  10.   Appreciate something small: the sunlight resting on a window curtain, how green the leaves are, the happiness of laughing with a friend, the taste of an ice-cream. Not every day is going to be the best day of your life; but it can still be special.
A. However, casual magic is the road to happiness. B. To prevent this, apply the concept of casual magic. C. An adequate example to practice casual magic is nature. D. Casual magic instead allows us to listen to and examine any negative feeling. E. Put aside your screen, be present and give yourself a chance to find that special moment. F. We should learn from negative things and move on to appreciating moments of casual magic. G. It is centered around curiosity and focuses the energy on observing and reflecting on the little things.

What Is Emotional Eating
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.  11.   Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.
 12.   One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce.  13.  
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done.  14.   It's not easy to "unlearn" patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what's going on.
We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.  15.  
Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.
A. Believe it or not, we've all been there. B. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. C. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. D. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream. E. That's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. F. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food. G. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.

【点评】考查七选五,本文是一篇教育类阅读,要求在理解细节信息的基础上,着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
11.根据空前"Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.”情绪化进食是指人们用食物来处理情绪而不是满足饥饿感。指出情绪化进食是为了排解情绪,而不是为了满足饥饿感;以及空后"Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test ”你有没有在准备大考的时候,因为无聊吃完一整袋薯片或者一块接一块地吃饼干?以提问的方式举例说明我们都有这种情绪化进食情况,由此可知,空处应该引起下文,A. Believe it or not, we've all been there.“信不信由你,我们都经历过。”符合语境,故选A。
12.根据空后"One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.”关于情绪化饮食最大的误区之一就是它是由负面情绪引起的。是的,人们经常在压力大、孤独、悲伤、焦虑或无聊时求助于食物。但是情绪化的饮食也可以和积极的情绪联系起来,比如情人节分享甜点的浪漫或者节日盛宴的庆祝。指出引起情绪化进食的原因,C. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.“了解情绪化饮食的驱动因素可以帮助人们采取措施改变它。”符合语境,引起下文,指出要了解情绪化驱动的原因,故选C。
13.根据空前"But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce.”但是情绪化的饮食也可以和积极的情绪联系起来,比如情人节分享甜点的浪漫或者节日盛宴的庆祝。有时情绪化进食与重大生活事件有关,比如死亡或离婚。从不同方面介绍了情绪化进食的原因,空处应该也应是描述情绪化进食的原因,F. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.“但更多的时候,是无数的日常压力导致人们在食物中寻求安慰。承接上文,介绍的是情绪化进食的原因,故选F。
14.根据空前"Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. ”情绪化的饮食模式是可以学习的: 一个孩子在取得巨大成就后得到糖果,他长大后可能会用糖果作为工作出色的奖励。介绍了食物和情绪之间联系的一个例子,G. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.“如果一个哭泣的男孩得到一些饼干,他可能会把饼干与舒适联系起来。”承接上文,介绍饮食和情绪之间联联系的另外一个例子,故选G。
15.根据空前" But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. ”但对一些人来说,情绪化饮食可能是一个真正的问题,导致严重的体重增加或其他问题。情绪化进食的问题在于,一旦进食的乐趣消失,引起进食的感觉就会留存下来。而且你经常会对你喜欢吃的食物的数量或类型感到更糟糕。指出情绪化进食的危害,所以我们要了解身体饥饿和情感饥饿之间的区别。E. That's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.“这就是为什么了解身体饥饿和情感饥饿之间的区别是有好处的。”符合语境,对上文进行总结,故选E。

Therefore, be highly aware of your appearance. Dress in a manner that reflects who you are.

16.根据空前"Actually, confidence isn't what you're born with, but something learned over time.”事实上,自信不是与生俱来的,而是后天习得的。提出观点,表示自信是后天习得的;下文每段段首给出学会自信的方法。由此推出,空处承上启下,需要对后文获得自信的三种方式进行基本的介绍。 F. The following are three key tricks you may learn to increase your confidence. “下面是你可以学习的三个增加自信的关键技巧。”符合语境,故选F。
17.根据空前"Take a long look in the mirror and make an honest and accurate judgement of your strengths and weaknesses. Continue to build upon your strengths, as this will increase your confidence.”好好照照镜子,诚实准确地判断自己的优点和缺点。继续建立你的优势,因为这将增加你的信心。作者要求大家要准确地判断自己的优缺点,并讲解了对于优势需要继续保持,故后文是告诉大家如何应对自己的缺点。E.

Guests dress up for the occasion and are expected to carry on a conversation at the table. 22.  
Is it because people are too busy to cook for others and then invite them to the table Perhaps, but there are many food lovers nowadays, and TV programs teaching people how to cook are very popular.  23.

They don't know how to share their experiences and feelings with others in a proper way.  24.  In her opinion, its influence has been harmful to human communication.

21.根据空格后的句子“It is more formal and usually hosted in one's home它比较正式,通常在家里举行”,可知句中的it指代的应是空格处提到的dinner party,而不是作者在第一段提到的和朋友们外出聚餐或者家里的便饭;结合选项,可知“ In fact the dinner party the writer worries about disappearing is another kind”符合语境要求,可以使上下文连贯,故选B。
22.根据空格前的句子,可知空格前提到的都是the dinner party应该有的样子;选项F“Yet nowadays, people prefer to eat takeout food on sofa while playing on mobile phones”把现在人们的常态与之前提到的the dinner party应该有的状态进行了对比,用yet连接,符合语境要求,故选F。

They don't know how to share their experiences and feelings with others in a proper way美国作家朱迪思 马丁(Judith Martin)认为,人们在成长过程中学会了表达自己,而不是交流思想。他们不知道如何以适当的方式与他人分享他们的经历和感受”,可知作者在此处提到的人们不知道如何与他人进行对话和交流,故选C。
24.空格前作者阐述了the dinner party消失的原因,空格后作者得出结论——这样不利于人与人之间的交流,结合选项,可知空格处作者阐述了另一个the dinner party消失的原因,即“电子设备的使用”,故选G。
25.根据空格前的“ it needs only be more than some food, a table and a location它需要的不仅仅是一些食物,一张桌子和一个地点,结合选项,可知作者认为the dinner party上的食物、餐具等都不是那么重要,重要的应该是这种文化不应该以这些物质为基础,故选E。

The Case for Classics
Many high schoolers complain when they look at a course syllabus (大纲) for Chinese and see literary assignments that include The Story Of The Stone and other pieces of classic literature.  26.   But there are some good reasons why reading the classics is an important part of a 21st century education.
 27.   As students explore texts that were written hundreds of years before, they peer through a window into the world as it was in those days. Being able to hear those voices from the past is a privilege young people should be grateful to have.
Furthermore, as students examine classic works, they begin to see the fabric of history from a different perspective. Absorbed with their own daily activities, most teens rarely think about the fact that human civilization has been around for a long time.  28.   The experiences and perspectives of those people can provide important insights into the challenges that teenagers face today. The wording and style may have changed, but the underlying themes that stir the heart, including love, loss, courage, revolution, and humor, are as true today as they were for the authors of these early works.
One of the most important reasons to study classic literature, however, is to expand one's mind.  29.   To illustrate this, a group of scientists gathered volunteers who agreed to have their brains scanned while reading phrases from classic literature in both their original form and in modern translations. The result of the study showed a significant increase in the brain activity of people reading the original texts.
 30.   It connects students to the history and values of the broader human community. It challenges their minds with the ideas and words of people who came before them. Therefore, if today's teens are going to grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers, it is essential that classic literature remains a part of their education.
A. Clearly, that's why it is so important.
B. Classic literature is important in a high school education.
C. These were things that were on people's minds at that time.
D. Students often wonder why they have to study "ancient" writing.
E. Reading writings from long ago can be like stepping into a time machine.
F. Nor do they realize their lives are connected to the lives of the ancient people.
G. Learning to appreciate an unfamiliar style of writing can stretch the brain and help it grow stronger.

What is a Food Critic
A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money.  46.  However some may also engage in more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth.  47.  A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food, from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes. Food critics also have very well-developed palates, and they may specialize in a particular area.
 48.  Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers, or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic. A handful of critics become well known and well respected, with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously, so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings.  49.  Implications of favoritism or bribery can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality.  50.  These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A. Food critics have the right to score the restaurant.
B. It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food.
C. Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important.
D. Therefore, they can learn about every aspect of the food industry.
E. After considering all aspects of the dining experience, they generate ratings.
F. Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants.
G. Once a food critic has gained experience, he or she can start writing articles for magazines and newspapers.

Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem
It's often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require a change of perspective.  51.  
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.
How you change the order of the words doesn't matter much, as long as the key words are reversed.  52.   Your challenge is "How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work ". Swapping the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as "How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work " In this case, the first statement will make you think of alternative means of transportation, like trains or bikes, while the second statement will probably make you think of solutions like carpooling—fewer cars for the same number of people.
Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether.  53.  For instance, the question "how might we sell more washing machines " is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with "washing machines". Yet, when you rephrase the question to "How might we sell more washing machines to young parents " you can easily change it to "How might we sell more young parents to washing machines  54.   You could interpret this last sentence as "the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out". Then, you could start communicating to potential buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy efficient washing machine.
As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking.  55.   However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will "cost" you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.
A. The second problem statement is much more logical.
B. Often it helps to add one more key word to the sentence.
C. Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.
D. A great way to do this is by "reversing" your problem statement.
E. For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.
F. Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.
G. Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.

53.根据空前“Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether.”有时使用这个技巧需要你首先重新表达问题;以及空后“For instance, the question ‘how might we sell more washing machines ’ is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with ‘washing machines’.”例如,“我们如何才能卖出更多的洗衣机 ”没有一个关键词可以和“洗衣机”互换。可知,重新表达问题与关键词有关。B.Often it helps to add one more key word to the sentence.“通常,在句子中再加一个关键词是有帮助的。”符合语境,故选B。
54.根据空前“Yet, when you rephrase the question to ‘How might we sell more washing machines to young parents ’ you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents to washing machines ”然而,当你把这个问题重新表述为“我们如何才能向年轻的父母出售更多洗衣机 ”你可以很容易地把它改成“我们如何才能让更多的年轻父母喜欢洗衣机 ”可知,这种办法可以激发创造性思维。F. Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.“诚然,这是一个非常不寻常的挑战,但它可能会激发创造性思维。”符合语境,故选F。
55.根据空前“As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking.”正如这个例子所示,一些反转将需要非常灵活的思维方式;以及空后“However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will ‘cost’ you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.”然而,考虑一下你尝试逆转的时间“成本”,你不会损失什么,但潜在地,你会得到很多。可猜测,做出这些反转很困难,要耗脑力。G.
