【解法思维导图】
技能1 原词重复信息
原词复现是指一个句子中的关键词(常为动词、名词、形容词)会反复出现在文中的其他
句子中。这些词会以不同词类、词性、数、格、时态、语态等形式出现。如：“looks”与
“looking”“looked”；“go”与“going”“went”等。根据语言习惯，第一句的宾语往往是第二句的
主语，或者前后句有相同、重叠的词语。因此，要学会寻找空格前后句句中的相同关键词。
【例】 [山东省名校联盟2022-2023学年高三上学期诊断性测试]

【答案】 17. B
【解析】【导语】本是一篇说明文。主要介绍了能够让上学第一天尽可能顺利地进行的几点建议。
上文“Some high schools and colleges have websites where students can log in and find messages and materials from
their teachers. (一些高中和大学有网站，学生可以登录网站，从老师那里找到信息和材料)”此处关键词是
“websites”因此B项“在第一天之前登录学校的网站。”符合语境，故选B。
技能2 代词重复信息
为了避免与上文提到的名词重复，用不同的代词指代上文提到的人、事物或事件。如：
it指代单数名词、不可数名词、句子；they指代复数名词；ones泛指复数名词。还有反身代
词、指示代词、关系代词等。
【例】 [2022-2023学年湖北省黄冈市高三上学期11月期中考试英语试题]
They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that cat owners had a 30per cent lower risk of
dying of a heart attack. ____18____. The researchers assumed — and most cat owners would agree — that cats’
unbothered nature has a calming effect. Spending time with any pet lowers stress, an important contributor to heart
disease.
A. They also improve your mental health
B. They contribute a lot to our strong body
C. With the considerate care from the owners
D. Here are some ways that your pet pal benefits you
E. With their regular tasks of feeding, walks and play
F. They introduce more bacterial diversity that our body adapts to
G. But you may wonder how it comes about without taking a cat for walks
【答案】18. G
【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了养宠物的好处。
由前文“They lower your risk of a fatal heart attack. Researchers found that cat owners had a 30per cent lower risk of
dying of a heart attack. (它们降低了你致命心脏病发作的风险。研究人员发现，养猫的人死于心脏病的风险降低
了30%)”可知，养猫可以帮助人减少心脏病，此段作者以科学家关于猫咪的发现为证据，来服务于段落中心。
选项前一句是研究发现。选项后俩句中“calming effect”，“lowers stress”可见主要讲述为何养猫能降低心脏病发作。那么本空起衔接功能。由此可知，G选项But you may wonder how it comes about without taking a cat for
walks(但你可能想知道，不带猫散步，它是怎么来的)符合文意，其中出现了关键词cat，与段落主旨相符，it
指代上句的科学发现。故选G项。
技能3 上下义词重复信息
上下义词重复信息是指文中选项位置的前后两句中出现意义相关的上位或下位词，因表
达的需要而重复出现一到两次，重复出现的过程中，上下文存在着逻辑关系，起着前后衔接
作用，这有利于做题时锁定关键词，找出正确答案。
【例】 [2023届江苏南通市通州、泗洪、兴化中学三校第一学期期中联考]

G. But encourage all members to support each other's work.
【答案】37. E
【解析】空前说可以不仅有一个目标。空后列举了 11月、12月、1月开展不同主题的活动。所以这一句应该
是一个承上启下的句子。应该选E—在不同月份开展不同主题活动。
技能4 同义重复信息
此处的同义多指意义相同或相近的词、词组或句子，如room和space。
【例】 [福建龙岩市一级校联盟(九校)联考2022～2023学年第一学期期中考]

善。这里有一些建议。)”以及后文“Effective communicators are always good listeners. Active listening means
engaging with what people say by giving positive replies and asking follow-up questions to show that you are paying
attention.(有效的沟通者总是好的倾听者。积极倾听是指通过给予积极的回答和提出后续问题来参与人们所说
的内容，以表明你在认真倾听。)”可知，此空上一段讲提高沟通技能的方法。下一段在讲学会积极倾听。A项
“Practice active listening.(练习积极倾听。)”符合语境。故选A项。
技能5 反义重复信息
顾名思义，此处指上下文中有互为相反词义的单词、短语或者意思相反的句子。
此外，some和others表示比较或顺承相呼应。
【例】 [2022-2023学年11月湖北省荆荆宜三校高三上学期联考]

[2021·浙江卷1月]Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long，
snaking line—called a serpentine line—and serve each person at the front with the next available register. __34__ This
is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line，a long delay at one register won't
unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead，it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up
checkout overall.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?
C．Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F．With three registers，this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes，as on a Sunday afternoon，the system gets particularly busy.
【答案】F
【解析】：本题考查上下文衔接。前一段提到如果商店中排起了三个结账的队伍，那么结账时延误情况的出现
是随机的。本段提到研究人员为解决这一问题，想出了一个好办法：让所有人排成一队，排在最前面的人到可
用的收银机处结账。F 项能很好地承接上文，同时F项中的this method是空后This的指代对象，代词重复是
一个很好的解题信号。
[2021·全国卷甲]Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 37.Less people than that, and there may not be
enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
__38__.They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
A．Less people than that
B．Hold a clothing swap
C．If two people are competing
D．Just keep music playing throughout
E．Donate whatever clothes are left overF．Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G．Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
【答案】G
【解析】：本题考查原词复现。本段空白后“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their ‘new’
clothes home.”讲他们还应准备大量的可回收的袋子，来把“新”衣服带回家。其中的“clothes”原词复现是解题提
示，同时“new”表明衣服应该是好的，对应G选项中的“clean”“in good condition”。
[2021·全国卷甲]A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously,
how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
·Invite 5 — 10 people so you have a nice selection. __37__， and there may not be enough things to choose from;
more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
A．Less people than that
B．Hold a clothing swap
C．If two people are competing
D．Just keep music playing throughout
E．Donate whatever clothes are left over
F．Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G．Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
【答案】A
【解析】：根据本段空白处后文“more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable”，超过5－10人，则无法控制，
可知分号前后是两个相反意义的对比关系，根据反义信息“more than”，可以推理得知空白处想表达人太少的
含义。
[2021·全国卷乙]And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward
silence at a dinner party，the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬).
__40__.Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
A．How do you know the host
B．The first step is to go exploring
C．If you ask the question “How did you get here？”
D．Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E. Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to sayF．What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking
G．He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
【答案】G
【解析】：考查上下文衔接。本段主要讲面对“dinner-party killer：awkward silence”(晚宴杀手：尴尬的沉默)时
应该怎么办。根据空前的“the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞
扬)”可知，解决办法是赞扬晚宴的主人，G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness
the most”(他或她是最能感受到这种尴尬的人)符合语境。G选项中的“He or she”指代the host，“awkwardness”同
义复现也是解题提示。
[2021·浙江卷1月]If there are three lines in the store，delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about
the probability：__33__ So it's not just in your mind：Another line probably is moving faster.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?
C.Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F．With three registers，this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes，as on a Sunday afternoon，the system gets particularly busy.
【答案】D
【解析】：考查上下文衔接。空前的probability与D项中的chances和one in three呼应，同时D项与空后一句
“So it's not just in your mind：Another line probably is moving faster”呼应，符合语境。

Sometimes, you just have to let it all out. There is much to complain about these days. Venting (发泄) can be
comfortable, bonding and even productive. Who needs toxic positivity (毒鸡汤) when you can unload your way
forward?
____16____ Complain to the wrong person and your hurt feelings and minor complaint become team gossip.Complain too often and you’ll affect the whole office with your complaints, making your co-workers to vent about you.
Suddenly, you’re in trouble.
There’s a right way to blow off steam. If you must air your annoyances, do so carefully and consciously.
Don’t vent to your boss, or to colleagues below you in the organization. That will just spark fighting between
teams. ____17____ This person should not be involved in the situation that bothers you.
Your complaint should be centred around yourself. ____18____ Keep your comments about co-workers and
bosses objective. For example, instead of saying, “Bob was rude,” note that Bob interrupted you, and that made you
feel like he doesn’t have confidence in your work.
____19____ Anything written will always be risky. Play it safe and try venting to yourself first in a voice memo.
Yell into your phone. Play it back privately. Ask yourself, “Do I sound ridiculous?” Then hit delete.
I used to complain about everything on my social-media accounts. I treated it like a diary. I kept getting involved
in online arguments. ____20____ Exposing my deepest emotions to strangers only raised my anger. I quit social media.
I rediscovered the joy of screaming in my bedroom and scrawling(乱涂乱画) in a journal. There’s a visceral ( 发自肺
腑的) feeling of the anger translating out through my hands.
A. Pick someone you trust.
B. Focus on how you’re feeling.
C. Venting can be risky, though.
D. Keep it off-screen if you can.
E. Pretend everything is sunny.
F. I realized I felt more negative emotions.

响整个办公室，让你的同事为你发泄。突然间，你遇到了麻烦。)可知，这一段主要讲述向错误的人抱怨的坏
处。选项C“不过，发泄可能有风险。”和下文意思一致。故选C。
【17题详解】根据上文“Don’t vent to your boss, or to colleagues below you in the organization. That will just spark fighting
between teams.”(不要向你的老板或组织中低于你的同事发泄。这只会引发团队之间的争斗。)和下文“This

【19题详解】
根据下文“Anything written will always be risky. Play it safe and try venting to yourself first in a voice memo. Yell
into your phone. Play it back privately. Ask yourself, “Do I sound ridiculous?” Then hit delete.”(写任何东西都是有风
险的。安全起见，试着先在语音备忘录中向自己发泄。对着你的手机大喊大叫。私下播放。问问自己，“我听
起来很可笑吗？”然后点击删除。)可知，作者在这一段建议抱怨发泄之后不要留下任何痕迹。选项 D“如果可

【20题详解】
根据下文“Exposing my deepest emotions to strangers only raised my anger.”(向陌生人表达我最深的情感只会激起

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? ___16___ Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame
when you can’t achieve the unachievable? Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing
this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.
Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly
polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll
win respect and approval.
___17___ Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty
are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that
they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no
clothes.Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better.
___18___ However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We
get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure
of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.
___19___ We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never
learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The
important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible. ___20___ Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re
freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?
B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C. Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself?
D. The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
F. People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。羞耻和恐惧往往是完美主义背后的驱动力。如果我们能塑造一个完美的人格，展示
我们的智慧，完善我们的幽默，那么没有人可以用批评来伤害我们，我们会赢得尊重和认可。
【16题详解】
根据上文Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach?可知本空为列举完美主义带来的问题是为一个你无
法达到的目标而奋斗、有一个无法实现的理想愿景，故选A。
【17题详解】
本句为段首主题句。根据本段最后一句 They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s
obvious that the emperor has no clothes.可知坚持正确、完美和优雅的愿望，即使很明显皇帝没有穿衣服。可知
沉迷于保持完美让我们不能忍受任何不完美的迹象。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 为了做得更好，我们不断地评估自己。下文
评价这样的行为“想要做最好的自己，并在过程中自我纠正，这没有什么错。”故选E。
【19题详解】根据下文We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. 我们意识到，在任何企业中失
败都不意味着我们就是一个失败者。可知本段强调要学会容忍我们人类的缺点是治愈完美主义的方法，故选
B。
【20题详解】
根据下文Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes
and failures—and enjoy our precious life.可知把自己从保护形象的欲望中释放出来，我们就能从容地走过成功和
失败——享受我们宝贵的生命。故本空强调要通过接受我们自己，并尽我们最大的努力，开始摆脱驱动完美主
义的羞耻。故选G。

Success looks different for everyone. For one person, it could mean getting a promotion or creating a better work-
life balance. ____16____
But while making changes in your life can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. You can do small things that
have a huge impact on your quality of life. Check out three things you can do that will empower you to be more
successful — on your own terms.
Set weekly and monthly goals.
Setting regular goals for yourself can keep you from getting stagnant in both your professional and personal life.
The best way to keep track of your goals is to write them down. Jot them on a whiteboard, a notepad on your desk, or
an online calendar — anywhere you can see them regularly. (“Exercise three times this week”, for example, or “Finish
a big presentation.”) ____17____
Set aside time for yourself every day.
____18____ It’s important to stop, take a breath, and have some time just for yourself. Set up calendar alerts or
block out “busy” time in your daily calendar that makes you unavailable to others. During this time, you could go out
for a real lunch away from your desk, take a walk, work on a side project, or even read a book. Whatever it is, be sure
to use this time to recharge your batteries.
____19____
It’s easy to spend all your downtime binge-watching shows on Netflix or obsessing over social media. But when
was the last time you tried something new that put you out of your element? In order to avoid getting bored, it’s
important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions. ____20____ Pick one thing that
you’ve always wanted to do, or something that you liked when you were a kid and never pursued. Then startresearching ways you can make it happen. By opening yourself up to different experiences, you’re bound to learn
something new about yourself.
A. Expand your horizons.
B. Change the way you network.
C. It’s best to power down your devices at least an hour before you hit the sack(床) to ensure you sleep soundly.
D. By having a constant visual reminder, you’ll be able to keep yourself accountable and measure your progress better.
E. Someone else may want to improve their relationships or learn new skills.
F. Too often, the workday speeds by in a nonstop blur(模糊) of meetings, email, and deadlines.
G. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do this from volunteering to joining a sports league to learning a new
language.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章列举了对人们的生活质量有巨大影响、让人更加成功的三件小事。
【16题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Success looks different for everyone. For one person, it could mean getting a promotion or
creating a better work-life balance.(每个人的成功看起来都不一样。 对一个人来说，这可能意味着升职或创造更
好的工作与生活平衡)”可知，此处说的是对不同的人而言，成功的意义不一样。E项“Someone else may want
to improve their relationships or learn new skills.(其他人可能想要改善他们的关系或学习新的技能)”符合题意，承
接上文。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据空格前的句子“The best way to keep track of your goals is to write them down. Jot them on a whiteboard, a
notepad on your desk, or an online calendar — anywhere you can see them regularly. (‘Exercise three times this week’,
for example, or‘Finish a big presentation.’) （记录目标的最好方法就是把它们写下来。把它们记在白板上，桌子
上的记事本上，或者在线日历上——任何你能经常看到的地方。例如，“本周锻炼三次”或“完成一个大型报
告”)”可知，要把目标记下来，并放到能经常看到的地方。这样做的好处是什么呢？空格处的句子应该是解释
这个问题。D项“By having a constant visual reminder, you’ll be able to keep yourself accountable and measure your
progress better.(通过不断的视觉提醒，你可以让自己更负责，更好地衡量自己的进步)”符合题意。故填D项。
【18题详解】
根据该部分的主题“Set aside time for yourself every day.(每天给自己留点时间)”和空格后的句子“It’s important
to stop, take a breath, and have some time just for yourself.(重要的是停下来，深呼吸，给自己留点时间)”可知，作
者建议每天给自己留点时间。为什么呢？空格处的句子应该是涉及到为什么建议每天给自己留点时间。F项“Too often, the workday speeds by in a nonstop blur(模糊) of meetings, email, and deadlines.(太多时候，工作日在
不停的会议、电子邮件和截止日期中飞速流逝)”符合题意。故选F项。
【19题详解】
空格处是最后一部分的主题句。根据最后一段的内容，特别是其中的句子“In order to avoid getting bored, it’s
important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions.(为了避免无聊，重要的是要跳出
你的舒适区，寻找新鲜的活动和激情)”和“By opening yourself up to different experiences, you’re bound to learn
something new about yourself.(通过接受不同的经历，你一定会对自己有新的认识)”可知，作者建议寻找新鲜的
活动和激情、体验不同的经历，以此来拓展视野。A项“Expand your horizons.(拓展你的视野)”作为主题句，
符合题意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空格前的句子“In order to avoid getting bored, it’s important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh
activities and passions.(为了避免无聊，重要的是要跳出你的舒适区，寻找新鲜的活动和激情)”可知，作者建议
跳出舒适区，寻找新鲜的活动和激情，G项“Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do this from volunteering
to joining a sports league to learning a new language.(幸运的是，有很多方法可以做到这一点，从志愿服务到加入
体育联盟，再到学习一门新语言)”作者正好建议了这样的活动，和上一句是顺接关系，符合题意。故选G项。
2023届江苏连云港高三上期中考试
If you are of the "no regrets" school of life, you might think that all this regret is a reason for unhappiness. But that
isn't the case. 36__________Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking about your past
mistakes.
Kill the ghost.
People often say their regrets "haunt" them. This suggests that regret is like a ghost: not entirely clear but always
awful. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. 37_________ Be honest without
catastrophizing（小题大做）. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost.
38_____________
After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can't stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped
out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making had you made it
to graduation. 39_____________ So, make up your mind to exchange your emotional sentence with a simple oral
declaration: "I will not waste another minute of my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed. ”
Collect your diploma（文凭）.40_____________ If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to
miss opportunities in the past. Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful. So in your list of
regrets, note how you want to change your behavior, and outline your determination going forward right now——and
get started!
A. Forgive yourself.
B. Stop wasting time.
C. Going to the other extreme may be worse.
D. Regret is like a school run by human nature.
E. Write down why each one still bothers you and its bad effects.
F. Well analyzed and managed, regrets can be beneficial to your well-being.
G. In other words, you have voluntarily chosen a life sentence for a poor decision made previously.
【答案】36-40 FEAGD
【解析】本篇主要讲了我们如何把后悔这种负面的东西转变成正向的东西。
详细解析
第36题 这里是一个转折，如果分析得很好而且控制得很好的话，后悔其实可以对你的身体很有好处。
第37题 你已经列举了很多令你后悔的事情，然后你现在需要分析每一条列举的事情为什么会让你困惑以及这
些让你后悔的事情带来的负面影响。
第38题 这一段是讲，以前犯了错误之后，你会后悔不已，自责且抱怨，但是你现在要善于原谅自己，告诉自
己不要再去活在过去，因为这样没用，所以原谅过去的自己才能更好地面对未来。
第39题 根据上文举的案例，你因为早早辍学而没有能够成功年薪百万，为啥，因为你学历不够 ，于是你就
一直后悔和斥责自己，因为没有拿到学位证书，而错失了年薪百万。换句话说，你自己自愿地给自己判了一个
终身徒刑，因为你之前做的某一项错误的决定。
第40题 这里考察同类相关词，diploma是文凭，即你在后悔大学里好好修炼自己，然后最终得出了对自己很

If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. ____16____ , creating an
itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?
Why does a mosquito bite itch?
When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva (唾液)into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign, and our
immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. ____17____ . It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign
mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others,
more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.
What helps resist the urge to scratch?
“Don’t scratch” is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as
it can sound, scratching inflames (发炎) the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. “ ____18____ ,”
warned Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme
cases, people can scar themselves.
Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedy (疗法). Choose
what’s right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very
similar. There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side
effects. ____19____ .

【答案】16. E 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要分析了为什么蚊子叮咬会痒、如何抵制抓挠的冲动以及何时就医。
【16题详解】
根据下文“creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse(产生一种瘙痒感，一旦你开
始抓挠，似乎只会变得更严重)”可知，下文是空格处的结果状语。E项“The little red bumps swell up almost
immediately.(这些小红肿几乎立即膨胀起来)”承接上文说明蚊子叮咬后的反应，又可以导致下文“抓挠只会变
得更严重”的结果，符合文意。故选E。【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Why does a mosquito bite itch?(为什么蚊子叮咬会痒？)”可知，本段主要讲述为什么蚊子叮咬
会痒。根据下文“It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight.(实际上，这是
身体对它试图对抗的外来蚊子蛋白质的反应)”中的“actually”推知，空处陈述人们大都认为叮咬会痒的原因
——蚊子的叮咬。空格C项“It’s not the bite that causes the itch.(瘙痒不是由咬引起的)”，符合文意。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.(他补充道，在极端情况下，人们会给自己留
下疤痕)”可知，上文应阐述瘙痒产生的一般后果。F项“Scratching can cause secondary infections and prolong the
irritation.(搔痒可能会导致继发感染并延长刺激时间)”，符合文意。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side
effects.(没有科学证据表明这些药物有效，它们可以有自己的预防措施或副作用)”可知，没有科学证据表明止痒
霜有效，且可能有副作用。由此推知，下文应提及对抗瘙痒的有效方法。G项“In fact, the best remedy to fight
the itch is to prevent a bite in the first place(事实上，对抗瘙痒的最好方法是首先防止被咬)”，符合文意。故选
G。
【20题详解】
根据本文结构可知，空格处是本段的小标题。根据下文“If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing
trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately.(如果出现呼吸困难等严重症状，应立即就医)”可知，本段
主要围绕“就医”展开论述，且应是一个问句。A项“When to seek medical attention?（何时就诊？）”，符合
文意。故选A。
