综合：两步法解题
一、
第一步：看位置⇨定类型
句子在段中的位置不同，所起的作用也不同。命题人之所以采用段首、段中和段尾三种挖空
方式，正是利用挖空位置的暗示作用和挖空上下文的提示作用，来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。段
首、段中、段尾题在文中所起的作用可归纳为下表：
挖空位置 逻辑关系 具体解读
主旨句 常以段落小标题或主题句的形式出现。
段首题
承上启下句 此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。
前后的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式具有
多样性，思维过程基本是归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点
例证关系 到例子)。常见的表示例证关系的标志词语有：for example, for
段中题
instance, in fact/as a matter of fact, actually, in other words/that is
to say等。
转折关系 若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的逆转， 则空格处很有可能表示转折。表示转折关系的标志词语有： but, however, yet,
while/though/although, or/otherwise, on the contrary, instead,
nevertheless(然而), still, in contrast/comparison, by comparison
等。
表示因果关系的标志词语有：so, therefore, thus,
因果关系 consequently(结果), as a result (of), so/such ...that ..., so that ...
等。
若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可
能是个表示递进的句子。表示递进关系的标志词语有：too,
递进关系 also, besides, further, furthermore, moreover, likewise, similarly,
what's more, what's worse, in addition, as well, to make matters
worse, not ... but ..., not only ... but also等。
并列关系 表示并列关系的标志词语有：and, first(ly), second(ly); first,
then/next; to begin with, some ... others ...; for one thing, for
another thing; then/next, finally/last等。
段尾题 总结句 用于总结本段内容，常含有总结性的词语。
承上启下句 此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。
例子1…
●__40__ If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy
food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You
will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
…
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
例子2
…
●Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. __38__ If you work out in the mornings, then you
will be getting the calorie (卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.…
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
例子3…
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're
looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. __40__.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
第二步：由类型⇨定技法
1.主旨概括题
主旨概括题主要考查考生对文章或段落进行概括的能力，它要求考生在阅读文章时，能够提
炼其中心思想，体会作者的写作意图，充分运用概括能力提取文章的主题、观点以及作者的情感
态度。这类题常以考查段落标题为主，设题位置一般在段首，有时总结性的语句也会出现在段中
或段尾。这类题有时也会考查整篇文章的主旨大意，即文章的主题句，一般会在首段设空。概括
起来讲，命题人通常从两个方面设题：①概括文章或段落的主题句或结论性语句；②段落标题。
解答主旨概括题通常采用浏览的方式，即重点搜索本段的主题线索词并快速理清主旨大意，然后浏览选项，准确判定出与主旨大意匹配的选项。
例子3
●__39__ Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who
exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep
when you are very excited.
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
2.语段过渡题
语段过渡题所涉及的句子是过渡句，具有承上启下的作用，该题型主要考查考生对篇章的理
解能力和对上下文之间逻辑关系的分析能力。其设空位置比较灵活，可位于段尾、段首或段中。
解这类题通常可采用位置判断法。
如果设空位于段首，要前瞻后望找提示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与之衔接，
并结合本段内容，看所选的答案是否能将两段内容连贯起来。
如果设空位于段中，重点阅读该空的前一句和后一句，找出它们之间的逻辑关系或根据意义
的连贯性得出答案；如果还没有把握，再分析该段的中心句。
如果设空位于段尾，在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联时，可考虑与下一段开头之间的衔
接。仔细阅读下一段开头几句，看是否能与所选选项紧密连接起来。
例子4
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves.
__39__. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on
the feeling of a space.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
3.细节线索题
细节线索类的试题要求考生更加注重文章中的细节，比如某个关键的单词或数字等。解答这
类试题经常用到的方法有：词汇复现法、词汇同现法、代词线索法、逻辑关系线索法等。
1)．词汇复现法
复现法是保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段，即在文章中不同的位置对同一个概
念进行重复描述，从而使得同样的意思在文章中不同的地方重复出现。复现的形式主要包括原词
复现、同(近)义词复现、反义词复现等。考生可利用文章的这一特点，在解题时注意选项中出现的
与正文意思相同、相近或相反的词。
例子5
__38__. They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to
add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a
colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
2)．词汇同现法
词汇同现是指属于同一词汇范畴或者某一领域的词汇在文章中同时出现，达到语意衔接的目
的。一般来说，上下文中词汇的范畴越小，上下文的衔接关系越紧密。
例子6
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another funfilled holiday in the wilderness.__38__ Instead,
we had a popup camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner.My natureloving friends had
remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
A．This time there was no tent.B．Things are going to be improved.
C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
3)．代词线索法
英语文章中代词出现的频率极高，代词一般用来指代前面提及的名词，考生如果能巧妙地利
用这样的指代关系或根据代词的单复数就可以准确而快速地解题。
例子7
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this
important point. __37__， they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three
kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the
large ones.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
4)．逻辑关系线索法
一篇文章往往是一个有机的整体，各部分之间存在着一定的联系。从逻辑意义上来看，句子
与句子之间常常有并列、顺承、递进、转折、总分、解释、因果、过渡、例证等关系，有时甚至
包含不止一种这样的关系。因此，理解阅读材料时一定要把握文章脉络，弄清其中的逻辑关系。
如果文中或选项中出现了逻辑关系词，考生就可以利用其来进行推理判断；如果文中或选项中未
出现逻辑关系词，这就需要考生全面理解文章大意，根据上下文语境弄清文章内在的逻辑关系，
作出正确的判断。
例子8
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I
would have laughed heartily.Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, illcooked meals,
and uncomfortable sleeping bags.They had nothing in common with me.__36__
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer ...I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another funfilled holiday in the wilderness ...
...We have done a lot of it since ...
__40(E)__ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I
recommend that you find your way in style.
A．This time there was no tent.
B．Things are going to be improved.
C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
例子9
...
●Recall (回忆) your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma's rose garden and
Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that's not what's important. __39__ — how being in
those gardens made us feel. If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some
time to recall the gardens of your youth. 40(G). Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your
childhood memories into your grownup garden. Have fun.
A．Know why you garden
B．Find a good place for your own garden
C．It's our experience of the garden that matters
D．It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E．Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F．You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G．For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have
例子10...
Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or
cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. __37__
It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can
take to get you there.
...A．Learn to really trust yourself.
B．It is putting confidence in someone.
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
二、位置解题法
1、第一段（总说）
段落功能：总说，引出话题。（引发思考，或需要解决的现象或问题是什么）
段前、段中的设空
① 词 句 特 征 ： 可 能 存 在 固 定 呼 应 ： may think.... However.... ； 可 能 会 有 问 句 ，
或challenge/difficulty /problem等字眼。
②解题方法：
方法1：直接解题（看特征）2014北京卷
方法2：万能法
段尾设空
①词句特征：可能会有承上启下的表达，如“这是一系列问题......”，“下面是一系列的方法（建
议）......”here are， there are ；后面可能有tips，points，steps， suggestions, ways，approach，
how to do；take a look/listen等字眼。
②解题方法：
方法1：直接法看特征，直接选答案（2016年浙江卷，2018全国二卷）
方法2：万能方法
方法3：排除法+总结。如果这两种方法都不能解答出来，需要暂时放一下，做其他题目，最后
总结（原因：可以用排除法；本句可能是承上启下，看完文章的题目，理解主旨后解题）
[典题]（2020全国卷I）A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it... to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of
reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them?
Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that
your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.
E Set an intention for self-acceptance.
F. Stop comparing yourself with others.
G. When does the comparison game start?
（一）设空在段尾
设空在段尾，这种选项通常起着总结上文，提示下文的功能。所以会有两种情况：一是只承
接上文，二是承上启下。应先看设空前文，寻找选项与前文之间的关联，如果第一段的段尾设
题，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，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。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关联。认真
阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项紧密相连。
[典题]（2020全国卷I）
● Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at
strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned
your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put
into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to
yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how
awesome you are?
A. Feeling upset again?
B. Where do you start?
C. Nothing is too small to celebrate.D. Remember, you are only human.
（二）设空在段中
设空出现在段中，通常是承上启下的作用，需要看设空前后两句话，根据句子之间的逻辑关
系确定答案。
[典题] Don’t forget to forgive yourself. _ 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you
don’t do it.
D．Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stressmanagement technique.
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time.
真题-浙江卷（6月）
Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Of course, you want to
make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood. The easiest way to
accomplish this is to make sure you conduct yourself as a good neighbor should. 1
G. Here are a few tips to help you win over everyone in the neighborhood quickly
【解析】作者提到人们搬到新社区，都希望被邻居们接受。那么，就需要注意自己的行为举止，
成为别人眼里的好邻居。而下面几段就这一点提了一些建议，所以此处需要一个概括下文的句子，
即选项G。
真题-新课标一
The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 1 By helping them develop classic skills that
will serve them well no matter what the future holds.
A.Encourage kids to cook with you.
B.And we can't forget science education.
C.We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.
D.So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet exist?2. 小标题
方法1：观察对比法
①说明：此方法的优点“快”。缺点是“正确率能达到90%”。
①操作：
a观察特点：观察其它小标题，找句式特点。往往比较短，往往是祈使句。
b确定选项并对比：在七个选项中，找到这种特点的句子（一般比较短，又是祈使句的，一般 2-3
句。）观察比较这几个句子，划出它们的差别词。
c确定答案：接着看小标题下面段落中出现了哪个词，就选了哪一选项。
方法2：总结法（普通版）
①操作：读懂小标题下段落的内容，自己总结。
②解题原理：小标题的本质=下面段落的中心。（优点：正确率能达到100%。缺点：有可能读不
懂）
方法3：总结法（升级版）
①操作：读本段落尾句
②说明：此方法为方法1的升级版，适用段落较长，没时间读或很难读懂。
③解题原理：尾句一般要点明此段中心，尾句前如果有however/but等转折词，尾句一定与小标题
呼应。
【说明】总结法其实是需要跟“观察对比法”的前两步结合起来用的。或者换句话说，总结法，
是对“观察法”最后一步的优化。
真题-全国2卷
● 2
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color.
Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers（肥料）.3 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One
of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall（回忆）your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma's rose garden and
Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that's not what's important.......
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters
3、段首题
总原则：总结法+万能法
情况一：以下情况段首题100%优先使用“总结法”
1. 看到横线后的句子，出现for example之类的词语，或者连续出现if或when的状语从句。
2. 观察对比:其他段落的段首句，是有规律的段落中心句，比如是祈使句或问句。
②如果是，用总结法（段落较长，就用总结法的升级版，看最后一句，然后用万能法检验）。如
果不是段落中心句，用万能法。
情况二：以下情况100%优先使用“万能法”
在横线后的句子中出现代词this,it,them，these等代词。
（三）第三种情况：万能方法
如果此段没有小标题，且判断要填的不是段落中心句，就用万能法。（万能法并不是段首题的首
选）
【说明】
解题思路：优先用总结法，以及总结法的升级版，其次用万能法。
段首题的后一句，如果出现for example,for instance等，那么该句一定是段落中心句，就用总结法。如果不能马上判断是否是段落中心句，就按段落中心句去预估做题。
2014全国二卷
Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience , there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often :ability ,
money , and time 36 .Money is a topic I’ll save for another day .So today I want to give you some
wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spent in the kitchen .Here are three tips for great
cooking on a tight schedule :
1. Think ahead .The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s
nothing ready to eat .So think ahead of the coming week .When will you have time to cook ?Do you
have the right materials already ? 37 .
2. Make your time worth it .When you do find time to cook a meal , make the most of it and save
yourself time later on .Are you making one loaf of bread ? 38 .It takes around the same amount
of time to make more of something .So save yourself the effort for future meal .
3. 39 This may surprise you , but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is
experimentation .It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well
with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you
have to take control of your food and your schedule.
A. Try new things. B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead. D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
2017全国一卷
4 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete
with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a
refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.2020浙江卷（1月）（段首不是中心句）
4 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the
problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At
one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6 km with six litres of
water. 5 People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many
people as possible around the world.
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
4、段中题
方法1：中心句呼应法
【操作】出现了此段小标题或者段落中心句的关键词，直接选答案，再带入上下文检查。
【原理】它是证明中心的关键句，一定会出现小标题（或段落中心句）中核心词的原词或同义词。
方法2：万能法
【原理】此句可能是过渡句，没有明显特点
【说明】①在解此类题时，我们不太可能提前预知此句：是关键句，还是过渡句。所以，我们采
用的技巧是：先用万能法选出答案，然后用中心句呼应法做检验。检验成功，说明答案更加的确
定。
②如果用中心句呼应法验证失败，并不意味着答案一定是错的。
5、段尾题
方法1：中心句呼应法（如果but/however后面，一定是这段的中心，证明小标题）所以一定要看小标题，翻译 。原理：
越靠近最后一句，越会证明此段中心（即作者的真实观点）
方法2：万能法
说明：
①一般优先用方法1，如果不行，就选用万能方法。
②段尾排除：一般不会出现问句 (没有展开论述的空间了)
2017全国三卷
● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you're tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on
Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness
the following week, a recent study found. 4
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
三、敏感词解题法
敏感词思维：通过敏感词找到句子之间的逻辑关系（即呼应关系），找到解题的线索。
敏感词解题模型。敏感词可以出现在B句中，也可以出现在C句中。
1.代词
原理：代词是代替名词的词。代词所指代的名词，必须出现在这句话的前半句，或上一句话。
操作：看是否一致：单复数是否一致；人称是否一致
常见代词：指示代词this/ that/ these/ those it they等
举例：我在景区遇到了一群游客。他们来自美国。
【注意】
①代词不能呼应，90%以上不对；代词能呼应，不一定是正确选项。
②状语从句中的代词指代现象：When he was taken to hospital, Tom cried. （此句中的he不需要
往前句找）
③注意下列中的it不作为解题敏感词：形式主语，形式宾语，强调句中的it，可以忽略
④one也是可以做代词。（2013全国1 2017全国3）
⑤they与we有时候是可以呼应的，we=they+I（作者）2017全国1卷37题 2018全国3卷38题
⑥段落首句出题，带入的句子出现代词一定要优先警惕，很多时候可以排除。
真题-北京卷Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget
what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unware of what's happening
around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 1 They annoy us because they seem to be

domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some
advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.

discounted tickets. ____37____ Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three

Have fun. ____40____ Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold
outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the

Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if
you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and
write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free.
___17___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone,
it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___
Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full
of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an
exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for
revision. ___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their
draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to
work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank
space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wishlists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa
some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____11____
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our
purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____12____ And
when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be
hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When
children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly.
____13____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him
respect.
____14____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are
constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends,

There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the
job done. ____15____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future
employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their
language to match their audience.

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1 So the first thing we did was rent a
fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to
leave our suitcases in the hallway.The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the
plumbing （水管）worked. 2 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that
said, "Ouverture des portes, " in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's
a shame l don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in
this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 3 French
strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor
bombs.
4 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up
some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.
My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost ＄18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency （效率）. You can tell this
by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 5 When do these people work? The French
take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal
with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on
call.

than "What do you do for a living? ", you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out
of whomever it is you're talking to. 2 , it can bring in "I have this old, broken-down vehicle"
or "I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just
opens up conversation.

You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and
find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great
Wall. 1
"I often send postcards to family and friends, " he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine
that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into
it, 2 " Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat
unlikely place: online, Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the
traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing. com, a social network that has
grown to 575, 217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years
ago. 3 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a
common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool
as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn'tunderstand it. 4 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since
it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to Engish. 5 That said, we know of many
postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills
through their use of postcrossing. " Paulo says.
A.And that's totally fine.
B.That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C.He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D.Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E.On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F.Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun
away.
G.In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from
someone far away.

I've always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts
（手工）and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job
at a big insurance company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and
repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way
for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a
community college. It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my
confidence up.
As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months
later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although
exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-
day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and
zero fulfilment（满足感）.
I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult
decision-leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my
diploma.
The last few years have been exciting because I've been following my heart to do what I love.
Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
Sometimes it's hard to make a change, but I'm so glad I set the wheels of change in motion
with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.16. Do you want to be a good public
speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you
stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the”speaking. “ 17. Focus on the
speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any
mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb
about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a
truly serious one.18.
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.19. And like everything else in life, that takes practice.
Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.20. It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you
probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!

leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally
to end.

C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.

I remember the day shyness took over my life. I was 14 and having a French lesson The teacher told
us to record ourselves speaking about a holiday. Perfect！ I recorded myself with confidence. Then, I
pressed "play" to listen back. All I heard was a little kid talking. My immediate reaction was to assume I
was listening to someone else's recording. But that was my voice. I realised there was something strange
about me.
My little voice has made me feel really shy. And my shyness has caused me to avoid attending events,
not make important connections, and keep my ideas to myself. As a shy person, working from home,
hiding behind my computer was brilliant. But the more time I spent hidden away, the more my comfort
zone shrank（缩小）. Everyday interactions, like ordering a coffee, became increasingly awkward and
uncomfortable.
And then, one day I was at a big conference and it suddenly hit me like lightning. Al speakers were
confident, comfortable with being seen. There were no quieter voices. But the trouble is, if the loud voices
are the only ones you hear, we quiet people feel even more alienated（疏远的）。 The world needs a
mixture of personalities. Success is not just about who can shout the loudest. The world needs quieter
people, too. That day I chose to stop hiding and embrace my shyness. No more feeling like I needed to
change who I am in order to succeed. No more living a small life.
Then I created the Shy and Mighty Society, a space for shy people like me to shine, and in the process
of helping others, I could also push myself forward, bit by bit. Now, I'm happy to tell people I feel shy. I'm
not ashamed any more. And I know that I’m not alone.

As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone
else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted
to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected
(被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but
when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by
myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of
“cool”.I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I
chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been
fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of
“cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected
than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was
finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first
time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part
of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader
definition than what I used to think.

Humor
If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits:
Humor makes average-looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining. Studies show
that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter.
Best of all, humor raises your energy, and that can have an effect on everything you do at school, atwork, or in your personal life. The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, and
that will raise your overall energy even more.
Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles. Humor lets you better understand
life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems.
In my experience, most people think they have a sense of humor, and to some degree that’s true. But
not all senses of humor are created equal. So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for
everyday life.
You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor. You can be the
one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor. Every party needs a
straight person. You’ll appear fun and funny by association.
When it comes to in-person humor, effort counts a lot. When people see you trying to be funny, it
frees them to try it themselves. So even if your own efforts at humor fall short, you might be freeing the
long kept humor in others. People need permission to be funny in social settings because there’s always a
risk that comes with humor. For in-person humor, quality isn’t as important as you might think. Your
attitude and effort count a lot.
Some people--and I was one of them--believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of
life make humor, and sometimes that is the case. The problem comes when you start doing too much
complaint-based humor. One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny, but five is just
complaining, no matter how smart you think you are. Funny complaints can wear people out.
Self-deprecating(自嘲式) humor is usually the safest type, but here again you don’t want to
overshoot the target. One self-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor. You
have to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others. But if you do it too often, you
can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog.
