七选五十大技巧
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有:however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者,或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。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。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。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。

(2024·安徽·三模)Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. 1
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. 2 In addition, your brain thinks you are in the story, which means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they were real.
3 This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. 4
5 Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A.In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
B.This permits people to limit their emotions that others are feeling.
C.Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story.
D.It also stimulated them to raise 1,000 for the homeless caused by war.
E.Reading encourages us to empathize with others, which could be beneficial.
F.Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond.
G.It helps you see into other people’s hearts and can be learned through various stories.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.F 4.D 5.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明阅读可以帮助培养同理心,这是有益的。
1.上文“Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because
you have empathy (共情) for the character. (你是否读过一个故事,因为一个人物的痛苦而热泪盈眶?如果是这样,那是因为你对角色有共情。)”提到“共情”,结合诸选项信息可知,G选项“它可以帮助你看到别人的心,可以通过不同的故事来学习。”契合语境,该句就是对上文“empathy”进行说明和解释,“it”指代“empathy”,“stories”呼应上文“story”。故选G。
2.根据本段首句“Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. (研究表明,人类大脑对故事和事实的反应是不同的。)”可知,本段主要谈论人的大脑会根据不同的故事和事实产生不同的反应;C选项“当你在欣赏一个故事时,你的大脑会有更多的区域被激活。”也是谈论当人阅读时大脑的反应,契合语境。故选C。
3.下文“This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. (这种技能被称为情商,可以让你更容易与人沟通和联系。)”讲述情感智力这项技能能够使沟通和与人建立联系更容易,F选项“同理心可以帮助你读懂别人的情绪并想出最佳方式来回应。”契合语境,下文This skill指代F项中的Empathy。故选F。
4.上文“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. (在读完《教室后面的男孩》后,圣迈克尔高中的学生们受到启发,为非营利组织‘难民行动’进行了10英里的步行活动。这本书讲述了一个逃离战争的男孩的故事。)”进一步举例说在读了《教室后面的男孩》这本书后,圣迈克尔高中的学生的反应,选项D“这也促使他们为因战争而无家可归的人筹集了1000英镑。”也是在谈论反应:促使他们为因战乱而无家可归之人募集一千英镑,因而契合语境。故选D。
5.由本空所在位置可知,此处为段首句,总括全段信息,下文“Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter. (当我们对他人感同身受时,我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为,而且当他人感同身受时,他们也更有可能帮助我们。为了社会的发展,善于沟通和善解人意的个人真的很重要。)”谈论当我们对他人感同身受时,我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为,而且当他人感同身受时,他们也更有可能帮助我们,是在讲述共情对人有益。由此可知,选项E“阅读鼓励我们去同情他人,这是有益的。”契合语境。故选E。

(2024·安徽淮北·一模)Down comforters (羽绒被) are frightening pieces to wash. They’re huge, expensive and filled with delicate material. 11 .
Start with a spot treatment. If you’re washing your comforter because it’s dirty, spot-treat it first. Most food and dirt spots should respond to regular washing agent. But for old or tough spots, soak the area and leave it
overnight. Whichever remover (去污剂) you choose, please remember: “ 12 ”. Usually, this will involve spraying them, twisting and rubbing to push the spot treatment into the fabric.
Wash it at least twice. 13 . Then load your comforter into the washing machine, and run it through a delicate cycle with cold or warm water. Wash it a second time on a quick cycle to clean from the down inside. If your comforter seems a little tight in your washing machine, and you’re not positive it had enough room to move around and expose every gap to the second wash cycle, an additional wash could help.
Dry it well. Thoroughly drying your comforter helps ensure the down inside stays fluffy (蓬松的). You don’t want to cook the down with high heat and damage it, though. 14 and remove it from the dryer throughout the cycle (every 20 minutes or so) to redistribute and fluff the down fill.
15 . A good cleaning every few years will help your comforter last a long time, but you’ll still want to refresh a deflated comforter between washes. Use the dryer for about an hour every three to four weeks to kill dust mites and dry out any moisture. Low heat is ideal. To address dust mites, use high heat for 20 minutes and then lower the heat for the rest of the cycle.
A.Run it through the dryer
B.Keep your comforter fresh
C.Follow the directions on the bottle strictly
D.But you can wash your comforter yourself
E.Dry your comforter on low or medium heat
F.Washing it many times may actually help you
G.Confirm your comforter is machine washable first
【答案】11.D 12.C 13.G 14.E 15.B
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了清洗保养羽绒被的几个有效建议。
11.前文“Down comforters (羽绒被) are frightening pieces to wash. They’re huge, expensive and filled with delicate material. (羽绒被是很难洗的东西。它们又大又贵,里面装满了纤弱的材料)”讲述羽绒被又大又贵,清洗很不容易,由后文小标题可知,下文讲述了如何清洗羽绒被的建议,因此推断D项“但是你可以自己洗被子”符合语境,与前文不好清洗是转折关系,引出下文的介绍。故填D。
12.根据前文“Whichever remover (去污剂) you choose, please remember (无论你选择哪种去污剂,请记住)”和后文“Usually, this will involve spraying them, twisting and rubbing to push the spot treatment into the fabric.( 通常,这将包括喷洒、拧转和摩擦,以推动斑点处理进入织物)”可知,此处讲述了无论哪种去污剂,
都要按照具体步骤使用,因此推断C项“严格按照瓶子上的说明使用”符合语境,下文详细解释如何使用。故填C。
13.根据后文“Then load your comforter into the washing machine, and run it through a delicate cycle with cold or warm water. Wash it a second time on a quick cycle to clean from the down inside.( 然后把你的被子放进洗衣机,用冷水或温水进行一个精细的循环。第二次清洗,快速循环,从内部清洁)”可知,下文讲述了接下来的做法,被子放进洗衣机里清洗两遍,因此推断G项“首先确认你的被子是可机洗的”符合语境,先确认被子可以机洗,才能放进洗衣机。故填G。
14.前文“You don’t want to cook the down with high heat and damage it, though.( 不过,你也不想用高温把它煮熟,损坏它吧)”说明高温会损坏羽绒被,后文“and remove it from the dryer throughout the cycle (every 20 minutes or so) to redistribute and fluff the down fill. (在整个循环过程中(每20分钟左右)将其从烘干机中取出,以便让绒毛重新分散、蓬松填充)”讲述用烘干机烘干羽绒被的过程中应多次拿出来整理,因此推断E项“用低热或中热烘干被子”符合语境,承上启下。故选E。
15.空处为段落小标题,根据后文“A good cleaning every few years will help your comforter last a long time, but you’ll still want to refresh a deflated comforter between washes. Use the dryer for about an hour every three to four weeks to kill dust mites and dry out any moisture. Low heat is ideal. To address dust mites, use high heat for 20 minutes and then lower the heat for the rest of the cycle. ( 每隔几年好好清洗一次会让你的棉被用得更久,但你还是想在两次清洗之间给瘪了的棉被换一次新的。每三到四周用一个小时的烘干机来杀死尘螨和干燥任何水分)”可知,本段主要讲述如何让被子在清洗的间隔中保持清新,因此推断B项“保持你的羽绒清爽”符合语境。故选B。
(2024·安徽·二模)Want to know your true self Here are 4 useful strategies of self-discovery to use.
Listen to praises and absorb them.
If you have a tendency to brush off praises, stop! Knowing your own strengths is a foundation of self-confidence. 16 And listen for praises that could add to your strengths.
Notice what you are thinking.
Just be mindful of the thoughts that arise on a minute-by-minute basis. 17 For example, your friend persuades you to buy a particular dress; this purchase sparks regret, not joy, because you wish you’d saved the money. Now you realize that at this moment you value savings over more possessions.
18
It is the ability to see a hard problem as a challenge rather than a stress. When you don’t have to be perfect, you can accept your mistakes, which could lead to a potential learning experience and help you figure out what you could do differently the next time.
Listen to other people, but make and live by your own decisions.
Only you know what is best for you in the long run. When you make your own decisions—however they tun out, you pave the way for self-knowledge. 19 What do you want
Practice courage.
You may know yourself, but can you be yourself Example: Someone is critical of something you did and yells at you. 20 You reply, “Don’t speak to me that way. If there’s something wrong, talk about it without the yelling.”
A.You can defend yourself.
B.Become friends with your mistakes.
C.Become a person taking in the good.

F.Keep a journal or take time to reflect.
G.Surround yourself with good people who accept you.
【答案】16.C 17.E 18.B 19.D 20.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了4个有用的自我发现策略。
16.根据上文“If you have a tendency to brush off praises, stop! Knowing your own strengths is a foundation of self-confidence.(如果你有拒绝表扬的倾向,停下来!了解自己的长处是自信的基础)”可知,上文提到了不要拒绝接受表扬,即建议接受美好,故C选项“做一个接受美好事物的人”符合语境,故选C。
17.根据上文“Just be mindful of the thoughts that arise on a minute-by-minute basis.(只要留心每一分钟出现的想法)”可知,上文建议只要留心每一分钟出现的想法,本句承接上文,说明这么做的原因。故E选项“它们可以引导你更好地了解自己”符合语境,故选E。
18.根据本段内容“It is the ability to see a hard problem as a challenge rather than a stress. When you don’t have to be perfect, you can accept your mistakes, which could lead to a potential learning experience and help you figure out what you could do differently the next time.(它是一种将难题视为挑战而不是压力的能力。当你不需要完美时,你可以接受你的错误,这可能会带来潜在的学习经验,并帮助你找出下次你可以做得不同的地方)”可知,本段的建议是接受错误,并从中学习。故B选项“和你的错误做朋友”符合语境,故选B。
19.根据上文“Only you know what is best for you in the long run. When you make your own decisions—however they tun out, you pave the way for self-knowledge.(从长远来看,只有你自己知道什么对
你是最好的。当你自己做决定时,不管结果如何,你都在为自我认识铺平道路)”可知,上文提到只有你知道什么对你是最好的,知道应该怎么做。故D选项“培养一种健康的“应该”思维”符合语境,故选D。
20.根据后文“You reply, “Don’t speak to me that way. If there’s something wrong, talk about it without the yelling.”(你回答说:“不要那样跟我说话。如果出了什么问题,就说出来,不要大吼大叫。”)”可知,后文的例子表明可以适当为自己辩护。故A选项“你可以为自己辩护”符合语境,故选A。
(2024·黑龙江牡丹江·一模)Five nutrition myths and what health experts want you to know insteadMYTH 1: Fresh fruits and vegetables are always healthier than canned, frozen or dried varieties.
Research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts. 21 However, some canned, frozen and dried varieties contain added sugars, saturated fats and sodium, so be sure to read nutrition labels, especially on prepared foods. MYTH 2: 22
By the 1980s, doctors, government health experts, the food industry and the media were reporting that a low-fat diet could benefit everyone. As a result, many people replaced calories from fat with calories from refined carbohydrates such as white flour and added sugar. In reality, healthy fats help reduce your risk. Examples of those include monounsaturated fats (found in olive oil, avocados and certain nuts and seeds) and polyunsaturated fats (found in sunflower oil, walnuts, fish and flaxseed).MYTH 3: “Calories in, calories out” is the most important factor for maintaining weight.
It’s true that if you burn more calories than you consume, you will probably lose weight. 23 Rather, it’s the types of foods we eat that may be the long-term drivers of those conditions. Ultra-processed foods can lead to weight gain.MYTH 4: Plant beverages are healthier than dairy milk.
While the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, many have more added ingredients which can contribute to poor health than cow’s milk. 24 Almond (杏仁) beverage on the other hand, typically has one or two grams in the same amount. MYTH 5: Potatoes are bad for you.
Potatoes have often been vilified in the nutrition community because of their high glycemic index, which can spike your blood sugar. However, potatoes are rich in vitamin C, potassium, fibre and other nutrients, especially when consumed with the skin on. 25
A.All fat is bad.
B.All fat is not beneficial.
C.The reason for this is that they are rapidly digested.
D.They are also inexpensive and available year-round in grocery stores.
E.Typically, cow’s milk has about eight grams of protein per 250 millilitres.
F.They can be an easy way to make sure there are always fruits and vegetables available at home.
G.But research does not suggest that eating more will result in becoming overweight or obese.
【答案】21.F 22.A 23.G 24.E 25.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了五个营养误区。
21.根据上文“Research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts.”(研究发现,冷冻、罐装和干果蔬菜和新鲜水果蔬菜一样有营养。)可知,空处说明冷冻、罐装和干果蔬菜所带来的好处。故F选项“这是一种简单的方法,可以确保家里总是有水果和蔬菜。”切题。故选F项。
22.根据下文“By the 1980s, doctors, government health experts, the food industry and the media were reporting that a low-fat diet could benefit everyone. As a result, many people replaced calories from fat with calories from refined carbohydrates such as white flour and added sugar. In reality, healthy fats help reduce your risk.”(到20世纪80年代,医生、政府健康专家、食品行业和媒体都在报道,低脂饮食可以使每个人受益。因此,许多人用精制碳水化合物(如白面粉和添加糖)来代替脂肪中的卡路里。事实上,健康的脂肪有助于降低患病风险。)可知,健康的脂肪是好的。所以第二个在说人们对于脂肪的误区。故A选项“所有脂肪都不好。”切题。故选A项。
23.根据上文“It’s true that if you burn more calories than you consume, you will probably lose weight.”(的确,如果你燃烧的卡路里比你摄入的多,你可能会减肥。)根据下文“Rather, it’s the types of foods we eat that may be the long-term drivers of those conditions.”(相反,我们所吃的食物类型可能是这些疾病的长期驱动因素。)可知,选项与上文为转折关系,说明吃得多并不一定会超重。故G选项“但研究并没有表明吃得多会导致超重或肥胖。”切题。故选G项。
24.根据下文“Almond (杏仁) beverage on the other hand, typically has one or two grams in the same amount.”(另一方面,杏仁饮料通常含有一到两克相同的量。)可知,选项对比说明牛奶中蛋白质的含量。故E选项“一般来说,每250毫升牛奶含有约8克蛋白质。”切题。故选E项。
25.根据上文“However, potatoes are rich in vitamin C, potassium, fibre and other nutrients, especially when consumed with the skin on.”( 然而,土豆富含维生素C、钾、纤维和其他营养物质,尤其是连皮一起吃的时候。)可知,选项说明土豆很普遍。故D选项“它们也不贵,而且全年都能在杂货店买到。”切题。故选D项。
(2024·黑龙江·三模)When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. 26 I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and
succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience, I realize it is OK to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities (人文学科)!
The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract. 27 Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective (视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society How could one speak persuasively with closed minds Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! 28
STEM(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you Think of it. 29 Produce ideas Encounter people from other cultures Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills
30 The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Stick to your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.
A.So one will not obtain any practical skills.
B.How often do you communicate with others
C.How much progress can you make in a certain time
D.So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major.
E.If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed.
F.The number of students majoring in the humanities has declined by about half.
G.With a broader perspective, we will be more open-minded and less limited in what we can become!
【答案】26.D 27.A 28.G 29.B 30.E
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了自己的专业选择及学习的经历,并论述了人文学科的特色和优势,告诉人们要用所有的精力去追求自己的梦想的专业,不管别人怎么想。
26.根据上文“But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career.(但是,当我发现我的朋友们要进入“真

(2024·吉林长春·模拟预测)If you search the internet these days, you’ll likely run across some strange-looking, yet cheerful cartoon characters. These computer-generated people have small heads and exaggerated bodies. 31 The happy figures are often moving or doing something creative.
In 2017 Facebook paid a design team to develop a positive illustration system. 32 She worked to show human connection, motion, energy and joy in her drawings. She wanted to portray that sense of joy people feel when they’re sharing things together. The name which was given to the new art form when it was completed was very appropriate. They named it Alegria, which means joy in Spanish.
Why did Alegria art become popular so quickly There are many reasons. As websites depended on illustrations to fill space, Alegria-type art became increasingly useful. 33 By comparison, more detailed art designs require extra time, skill and money to produce. Businesses also love the fact that Alegria’s characters celebrate diversity by featuring international cultural events. The illustrations convey good feelings. Those feelings help people believe they can trust the companies that feature them on their pages.
34 These people think companies like Facebook have simply prepared over their problems with positive images. They’ve failed to address their real problems or make lasting changes.
For many, however, Alegria is a nice visual language that represents happiness. From children hugging to couples dancing, the images are all about positive energy. 35
A.The style is flat, simple and easy to create.
B.For some consumers, though, that’s a problem.
C.One of the designers took that message to heart.
D.For the netizens, Alegria helps build trust on the big companies.
E.No wonder Alegria is now the most popular style of illustrations for books.
F.All in all, it seems that Alegria is the perfect name for this playful, fun art style.
G.They’re created in bold colors with arms and legs that resemble giant wet noodles.

(2024·吉林长春·三模)Problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace — and could help you achieve more in your personal life too. Here’s how to enhance your strategy.
Develop analytical thinking
The key to effective problem-solving is the ability to break down complex issues into smaller, more manageable components. 36 . This involves systematically deconstructing a problem, understanding its differences and identifying the relationships between its various elements. Begin by clearly defining the problem at hand, identifying its key components and recognizing the interconnections between them.
Promote creativity
37 . To develop creativity, you must engage in activities that can stimulate your imagination and form new ideas. Additionally, exposing yourself to different fields, experiences and cultures can serve as a source of creative problem-solving.
Strengthen communication skills
Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives and adjusts individuals toward a common goal. Good communication begins with the art of expression. This needs choosing the right words and structuring information logically. Active listening, on the other hand, is the skill of receiving information with focus. 38
Learn from mistakes
Mistakes are not failures but a good way to success. Each mistake will give you a chance to think and learn. 39 . Use this knowledge to inform your future problem-solving efforts. It not only accelerates the learning process but also encourages collective problem-solving skills.
40
The journey to becoming an expert problem solver is an ongoing process of growth and improvement. Seeking continuous learning opportunities ensures that you stay ahead of changing challenges and acquire the necessary skills. Furthermore, networking with professionals in your field provides a good way of shared learning.
A.Stay well informed
B.Seek continuous learning
C.Improving it requires a structured approach
D.Out-of-the-box thinking is essential for problem-solving

(2024·辽宁·模拟预测)Tips For Staying Active Over the Holidays
The holiday season is here, which for most people, signals a departure from their typical exercise regime(方式,管理制度). Being physically active on a consistent basis can be challenging during this period especially as we travel to see relatives or host friends in our homes. 41 Exercise is also known to give you an energy boost and reduce stress levels. Considering these, you can take following tips for making physical activities regular in your lifestyle, through holidays and beyond.
42
This is the first rule of any sustainable exercise routine. If your workout feels like another task on your to-do list, it’ll be difficult to stick with. Therefore, be creative in identifying physical activities. Dance. Garden. Take a yoga class online. All of these count as physical activities, and even small amounts add up.
Find breaks to move throughout the day.
43 Taking three 10-minute walks during the day —one in the morning, another during your lunch and
another after dinner —produces similar benefits to spending 30 minutes at the gym. In other words, taking short movement breaks throughout your day makes for a more active lifestyle and helps meet your goals.
Make it a priority.
Most of us are managing countless responsibilities every day, so it’s vital to consider physical activities an important part of your day. 44 And, let others know when you’ll be busy exercising and how they can help you find time to do so. Having the support from others is an important element of success.
Be realistic.
Most are overly optimistic when first mapping out a workout plan. In fact, exercise isn’t necessarily at maximal intensity to be effective. Besides, you don’t have to exercise before, during and after work every day in order to hit your goals. 45
A.Find something you enjoy.
B.Participate in various physical activities.
C.Exercise doesn’t have to take place in a gym.
D.Of course, it is realistic to avoid being injured in sports.
E.Instead, just put more movement into your current daily life.
F.However hard it seems, staying active can help not just your waistline.
G.Put it on your schedule, just as you make an appointment with a doctor.
【答案】41.F 42.A 43.C 44.G 45.E

44.根据上文“Most of us are managing countless responsibilities every day, so it’s vital to consider physical activities an important part of your day.”(我们大多数人每天都要承担无数的责任,所以把体育活动作为你一天中重要的一部分是至关重要的。)说明把体育活动作为你一天中重要的一部分是至关重要的。结合选项G项Put it on your schedule, just as you make an appointment with a doctor.(把它写进你的日程表,就像你和医生预约一样。)可知,承接上文内容,为对上文内容的语意递进,上下文紧密连接。故选G项。

Definition of plogging
62 . It is a term made by combining “jogging” with “plocka upp,” which is Swedish for “pick up.” Therefore, the plogging definition is an emerging fitness that involves picking up litter or trash while you run.
Benefits of plogging
Because plogging typically involves jogging or running, there are many health benefits to this eco-friendly fitness trend. However, the benefits extend beyond just improving heart health. 63 . First, it improves mood and makes you feel good about yourself. What’s more, it gives back to your community and connects you online and builds social connections with other ploggers
.How to get started
Before you start, you’ll need to outfit yourself with the right gear to get the job done. If you’re already running or jogging, you should have a good pair of running shoes and running apparel (装备). 64 . Otherwise, broken glass and sharp and dirty litter items you may pick up will hurt you. A trash bag of some sort for collecting what you pick up is a must as well.

With growing evidence that dancing helps boost brain health and manage symptoms of neurocognitive (神经认知的) and movement disorders, accessible dance programmes and movement therapists are helping improve the lives of millions. 66 .
● Dance as brain movement
There’s actually a lot more happening inside the brain when trying to follow even the simplest choreography (舞蹈编排). “In dance class, we have to learn patterns, and remember sequences,” says David Leventhal, a programme director. The effect extends beyond the dance class to the real world. 67 .
● 68
In addition to the physical and neurological benefits, dance can also help people living with disease make out what their bodies can and can’t do. Rather than trying to control, or “fix” our body, dance is about developing greater body awareness and moving at our capacity, regardless of physical or cognitive difference.
● Dance as community
69 . Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their abilities when dealing with neurological and movement disorders, it also helps to combat the loneliness and social isolation of living with a chronic illness.
Still, researchers say they’re only scratching the surface of understanding how dance can be used therapeutically. 70 . Researchers are also trying to find out the most effective types of dance movements and the optimal length a《2024年高考英语名校二模真题三轮冲刺训练》(源自九省全国通用)
专题40 阅读理解七选五最新真题模拟20篇(干货+模拟)
原卷版
技能专区:冲刺备考名师提醒,洞悉高考命题规律,提供高效提分干货
七选五十大技巧
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有:however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者,或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。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。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。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。

(2024·安徽·三模)Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. 1
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. 2 In addition, your brain thinks you are in the story, which means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they were real.
3 This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. 4
5 Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A.In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
B.This permits people to limit their emotions that others are feeling.
C.Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story.
D.It also stimulated them to raise 1,000 for the homeless caused by war.
E.Reading encourages us to empathize with others, which could be beneficial.
F.Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond.
G.It helps you see into other people’s hearts and can be learned through various stories.

(2024·安徽淮北·一模)Down comforters (羽绒被) are frightening pieces to wash. They’re huge, expensive and filled with delicate material. 11 .
Start with a spot treatment. If you’re washing your comforter because it’s dirty, spot-treat it first. Most food and dirt spots should respond to regular washing agent. But for old or tough spots, soak the area and leave it overnight. Whichever remover (去污剂) you choose, please remember: “ 12 ”. Usually, this will involve spraying them, twisting and rubbing to push the spot treatment into the fabric.
Wash it at least twice. 13 . Then load your comforter into the washing machine, and run it through a delicate cycle with cold or warm water. Wash it a second time on a quick cycle to clean from the down inside. If your comforter seems a little tight in your washing machine, and you’re not positive it had enough room to move around and expose every gap to the second wash cycle, an additional wash could help.
Dry it well. Thoroughly drying your comforter helps ensure the down inside stays fluffy (蓬松的). You don’t want to cook the down with high heat and damage it, though. 14 and remove it from the dryer throughout the cycle (every 20 minutes or so) to redistribute and fluff the down fill.
15 . A good cleaning every few years will help your comforter last a long time, but you’ll still want to refresh a deflated comforter between washes. Use the dryer for about an hour every three to four weeks to kill dust mites and dry out any moisture. Low heat is ideal. To address dust mites, use high heat for 20 minutes and then lower the heat for the rest of the cycle.
A.Run it through the dryer
B.Keep your comforter fresh
C.Follow the directions on the bottle strictly
D.But you can wash your comforter yourself
E.Dry your comforter on low or medium heat
F.Washing it many times may actually help you
G.Confirm your comforter is machine washable first
(2024·安徽·二模)Want to know your true self Here are 4 useful strategies of self-discovery to use.
Listen to praises and absorb them.
If you have a tendency to brush off praises, stop! Knowing your own strengths is a foundation of self-confidence. 16 And listen for praises that could add to your strengths.
Notice what you are thinking.
Just be mindful of the thoughts that arise on a minute-by-minute basis. 17 For example, your friend persuades you to buy a particular dress; this purchase sparks regret, not joy, because you wish you’d saved the money. Now you realize that at this moment you value savings over more possessions.
18
It is the ability to see a hard problem as a challenge rather than a stress. When you don’t have to be perfect, you can accept your mistakes, which could lead to a potential learning experience and help you figure out what you could do differently the next time.
Listen to other people, but make and live by your own decisions.
Only you know what is best for you in the long run. When you make your own decisions—however they tun out, you pave the way for self-knowledge. 19 What do you want
Practice courage.
You may know yourself, but can you be yourself Example: Someone is critical of something you did and yells at you. 20 You reply, “Don’t speak to me that way. If there’s something wrong, talk about it without the yelling.”
A.You can defend yourself.

(2024·黑龙江牡丹江·一模)Five nutrition myths and what health experts want you to know insteadMYTH 1: Fresh fruits and vegetables are always healthier than canned, frozen or dried varieties.
Research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts. 21 However, some canned, frozen and dried varieties contain added sugars, saturated fats and sodium, so be sure to read nutrition labels, especially on prepared foods. MYTH 2: 22
By the 1980s, doctors, government health experts, the food industry and the media were reporting that a low-fat diet could benefit everyone. As a result, many people replaced calories from fat with calories from refined carbohydrates such as white flour and added sugar. In reality, healthy fats help reduce your risk. Examples of those include monounsaturated fats (found in olive oil, avocados and certain nuts and seeds) and polyunsaturated fats (found in sunflower oil, walnuts, fish and flaxseed).MYTH 3: “Calories in, calories out” is the most important factor for maintaining weight.
It’s true that if you burn more calories than you consume, you will probably lose weight. 23 Rather, it’s the
types of foods we eat that may be the long-term drivers of those conditions. Ultra-processed foods can lead to weight gain.MYTH 4: Plant beverages are healthier than dairy milk.
While the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, many have more added ingredients which can contribute to poor health than cow’s milk. 24 Almond (杏仁) beverage on the other hand, typically has one or two grams in the same amount. MYTH 5: Potatoes are bad for you.
Potatoes have often been vilified in the nutrition community because of their high glycemic index, which can spike your blood sugar. However, potatoes are rich in vitamin C, potassium, fibre and other nutrients, especially when consumed with the skin on. 25
A.All fat is bad.
B.All fat is not beneficial.
C.The reason for this is that they are rapidly digested.
D.They are also inexpensive and available year-round in grocery stores.
E.Typically, cow’s milk has about eight grams of protein per 250 millilitres.
F.They can be an easy way to make sure there are always fruits and vegetables available at home.
G.But research does not suggest that eating more will result in becoming overweight or obese.
(2024·黑龙江·三模)When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. 26 I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience, I realize it is OK to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities (人文学科)!
The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract. 27 Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective (视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society How could one speak persuasively with closed minds Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! 28
STEM(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural
awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you Think of it. 29 Produce ideas Encounter people from other cultures Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills
30 The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Stick to your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.
A.So one will not obtain any practical skills.
B.How often do you communicate with others
C.How much progress can you make in a certain time
D.So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major.
E.If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed.
F.The number of students majoring in the humanities has declined by about half.
G.With a broader perspective, we will be more open-minded and less limited in what we can become!
(2024·吉林长春·模拟预测)If you search the internet these days, you’ll likely run across some strange-looking, yet cheerful cartoon characters. These computer-generated people have small heads and exaggerated bodies. 31 The happy figures are often moving or doing something creative.
In 2017 Facebook paid a design team to develop a positive illustration system. 32 She worked to show human connection, motion, energy and joy in her drawings. She wanted to portray that sense of joy people feel when they’re sharing things together. The name which was given to the new art form when it was completed was very appropriate. They named it Alegria, which means joy in Spanish.
Why did Alegria art become popular so quickly There are many reasons. As websites depended on illustrations to fill space, Alegria-type art became increasingly useful. 33 By comparison, more detailed art designs require extra time, skill and money to produce. Businesses also love the fact that Alegria’s characters celebrate diversity by featuring international cultural events. The illustrations convey good feelings. Those feelings help people believe they can trust the companies that feature them on their pages.
34 These people think companies like Facebook have simply prepared over their problems with positive images. They’ve failed to address their real problems or make lasting changes.
For many, however, Alegria is a nice visual language that represents happiness. From children hugging to couples dancing, the images are all about positive energy. 35
A.The style is flat, simple and easy to create.
B.For some consumers, though, that’s a problem.
C.One of the designers took that message to heart.
D.For the netizens, Alegria helps build trust on the big companies.
E.No wonder Alegria is now the most popular style of illustrations for books.
F.All in all, it seems that Alegria is the perfect name for this playful, fun art style.
G.They’re created in bold colors with arms and legs that resemble giant wet noodles.

Begin by clearly defining the problem at hand, identifying its key components and recognizing the interconnections between them.
Promote creativity
37 . To develop creativity, you must engage in activities that can stimulate your imagination and form new ideas. Additionally, exposing yourself to different fields, experiences and cultures can serve as a source of creative problem-solving.

(2024·辽宁·模拟预测)Tips For Staying Active Over the Holidays
The holiday season is here, which for most people, signals a departure from their typical exercise regime(方式,管理制度). Being physically active on a consistent basis can be challenging during this period especially as we travel to see relatives or host friends in our homes. 41 Exercise is also known to give you an energy boost and reduce stress levels. Considering these, you can take following tips for making physical activities regular in your lifestyle, through holidays and beyond.

Therefore, be creative in identifying physical activities. Dance. Garden. Take a yoga class online. All of these count as physical activities, and even small amounts add up.
Find breaks to move throughout the day.

Having the support from others is an important element of success.
Be realistic.

A.Find something you enjoy.
B.Participate in various physical activities.
C.Exercise doesn’t have to take place in a gym.
D.Of course, it is realistic to avoid being injured in sports.
