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 And that's totally fine” 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.
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

Passage 1 (2022·广西玉林·模拟预测)

Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. ____3____ On the
other hand, a smiling, happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody So, smile when you meet

choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around
people increasing day by day!

Passage 4 (2022·江苏·模拟预测)
Four Tips to Discover Your True Passion
True passion is the emotion, feeling, and desire that arises out of love for something. It’s the force that
magnifies (放大) your capabilities for the benefit of excellent performance. This is because it’s a powerful
motivation for best performance and everyone wants to get there. ____16____ Finding what you’re passionateabout is a long road that requires effort and the following are some useful tips.
Search your childhood.
The purity and truth of your being are in the early stages of life. To that end, going back to the things you
loved back then is always an excellent indication of marked preferences. Did you want to be a doctor? ____17____
These are all clues that begin to point the way. While it’s true that children have several preferences in their early
stages, it’s actually quite easy to figure out which they prioritize (优先考虑).
Experiment and discover.
Doing the same activities day after day closes any probabilities to succeed in finding your true passion.
____18____ This creates a trial-and-error scenario (设想) that promotes a positive outcome in less time.
Focus to find your true passion.
You must forget about the myth that doing what you’re passionate about will be easy and pleasant. This is
because there’ll always be inconveniences in any activity you undertake. Beyond that, don’t lose focus on the fact
that these are temporary moments. ____19____
Remember that your age doesn’t matter.
____20____ Encouraging yourself to take the first step can be difficult due to some of society’s obsolete (被
淘汰的) barriers. The truth is that you must allow yourself to achieve and show your tastes leaving aside any
obstacles, especially those that are self-imposed (自己强加的). It’s never too late!
A.Were you interested in insects?
B.Take a variety of courses each month.
C.Do you know the meaning of passion?
D.Age isn’t necessary to find out your true passion.
E.Be calm while finding out your motivation.
F.It’s vital to figure out what you’re passionate about.
G.Understanding this will make it easier to keep motivated.
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了找到真正激情所在的方法。
16.【答案】F
【解析】上文“True passion is the emotion, feeling, and desire that arises out of love for something. It’s the force
that magnifies (放大) your capabilities for the benefit of excellent performance. This is because it’s a powerful
motivation for best performance and everyone wants to get there.(真正的激情是因爱某物而产生的情感、感觉和
欲望。它是一种力量,可以放大你的能力,从而获得卓越的表现。这是因为它是一种强大的动力,可以让

需要付出努力,下面是一些有用的建议)”提出如何找到激情所在,F项“It’s vital to figure out what you’re
passionate about. (找出你的激情所在是至关重要的)”承上启下,因为激情能带来好处,所以要找到自己激情
所在,从而引出下文的方法,符合上下文连贯。故选F项。
17.【答案】A
【解析】根据上文“going back to the things you loved back then”可知,作者推荐回到童年去寻找自己喜欢的
事情,A项“Were you interested in insects?(你对昆虫感兴趣吗?)”和前一问题“Did you want to be a doctor?
(你想成为一名医生吗?)”都是童年兴趣时期儿童兴趣所在,同时,这两个问题也照应了下文“These are all

18.【答案】B
【解析】上文“Doing the same activities day after day closes any probabilities to succeed in finding your true
passion.(日复一日地做同样的事情,让你很难找到真正的激情)”讲重复的工作无法帮助我们找到激情,B项
“Take a variety of courses each month.(每个月参加各种各样的课程)”提出了解决办法:学习各种各样的课程,
避免重复,且同时与下文中“This creates a trial-and-error scenario”相照应,符合上下文连贯。故选B项。
19.【答案】G
【解析】上文“You must forget about the myth that doing what you’re passionate about will be easy and pleasant.
This is because there’ll always be inconveniences in any activity you undertake. Beyond that, don’t lose focus on
the fact that these are temporary moments. (你必须忘记那种认为做你热爱的事情会轻松愉快的说法。这是因
为在你从事的任何活动中,总会有不便的地方。除此之外,不要忽视这样一个事实:这些都是短暂的时
刻)”纠正了一些错误的观点,G项“Understanding this will make it easier to keep motivated.(理解这一点会让
你更容易保持动力)”说明明白这些道理后的结果,符合上下文连贯。故选G项。

“Tell me about yourself" is a common way for an interviewer to warm up a candidate at the beginning of a job

你被要求告诉别人关于你自己的事情时,你有没有像鹿一样被抓住?)”这是问读者是否被问过这样的问
题,B项“If it hasn't happened yet, it will eventually.(如果还没有的话,最终也会有的)”这正好是和这个
问句相顺承的一句话。故选B。
22.【答案】C
【解析】上文“If the question catches you off-guard, you might simply be unprepared or uncomfortable talking
about yourself.(如果这个问题让你措手不及,你可能只是在毫无准备或不自在地谈论自己)”,而且,此
空的下文“Here are two situations where you're likely to be asked this question and how to answer it.(在以下两
种情况下,你可能会被问到这个问题以及如何回答)”,C项“What should you do if you are asked the
question?(如果被问到这个问题,你该怎么做?)”可知,此选项承接前后文意。故选C。

Passage 8 (2021·四川·石室中学模拟预测)
Making the Most of the Present
We've all been asked that question "Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years?” and while some of us might
have the answers to that, the reality is, most of us don't and that is totally OK.
____36____ We've put together the below tips on how to enjoy living in the moment.
Stop worrying about what hasn't happened yet. We've all done it. Worrying about a situation that hasn't
happened yet is only going to ruin all the good things that are happening now. If you focus on the future too much,
it makes the present irrelevant. ____37____ If it is really eating you up, try thinking about what you can do right
now to avoid any negative situations you might be worried about.
____38____ It is so easy to get caught up in other people's lives and compare your achievements to theirs, so
if you find yourself doubting your achievements and feeling less than someone because they have a nicer car or a
better job, take a step away from them for a while until you no longer feel negatively about the differences in your
lives and achievements. Better mood, better life.
Put yourself first and stop trying to please everyone else. ____39____ And looking after yourself before
anyone else is the most important. Work towards the goals you want to achieve, not the ones others want you to
achieve or the ones you think you should be achieving because society tells us too. If you don't want to get married,
that's OK, and if you do, that's OK too. ____40____
A.No one is better than you.
B.You are your own number one.
C.Just make sure that anything you do, is done for you!
D.Stop being influenced by popular and influential people.

Passage 9 (2022·四川攀枝花·二模)
How to Be Happy
___41___ Being happy often means continually finding satisfaction, a feeling of joy, and a sense that your life
is meaningful during all kinds of problems — that does not depend upon finding ease or comfort. A sense of
happiness is good for your health, so what can we do to have that?
Change your thoughts.
People have a natural tendency to remember negative experiences but forget positive ones. ___42___ Youcan train yourself to be happier by seeking your kind of fun. For example, occupy your mind with positive thoughts
by practicing meditation (冥想).
Develop optimism.
___43___ It’s a way of interpreting everything that happens to you. For example, a pessimistic person might
say, “I’m terrible at math. I’m going to fail that test tomorrow. I might as well just watch TV. ”However, an
optimistic person would say something like “I’m concerned about doing well on that test tomorrow, but I’m going
to study as well as I can and do my best.” Optimism doesn’t deny the reality of challenges, but it interprets how you
approach them differently.
Practice active gratefulness.
A lot of researches confirm that being grateful is good for you. It reduces anxiety and depression, helps you
become more positive, strengthens your relationships with others, and encourages sympathy.___44___
Determine your core values.
Your core values determine how you think about yourself, your life, and the world around you. These beliefs
guide your decision-making. They may be spiritual, or they may not, but they’re the things that are fundamental to
how you look at life.
___45___
Begin by imagining yourself in the future when you have gotten to where you want to be. Pick a few goals and
imagine that you have achieved them.
A.Contact a hotline.
B.Visualize your “best possible self.”
C.Look for the positive in all your experiences.

【解析】根据下文“Being happy often means continually finding satisfaction, a feeling of joy, and a sense that
your life is meaningful during all kinds of problems(快乐通常意味着不断地找到满足,一种快乐的感觉,一
种在各种问题出现时你的生活是有意义的感觉)”可知幸福快乐不仅是简单的目标,而是一个不断努力去
想办法进步从而找到满足感成就感。故选E项。42.【答案】G
【解析】根据小标题“Change your thoughts. ”及空前“People have a natural tendency to remember negative
experiences but forget positive ones. (人们有一种自然的倾向,记住负面的经历,而忘记积极的经历。”可
知,人们本能是这样的,善于记住负面的事情,G项内容“However, you can actually change the way your
brain functions.”However转折,我们可以人为干预大脑功能,去主动抗拒负面的本能。下文“You can train
yourself to be happier by seeking your kind of fun.(你可以通过寻找自己喜欢的乐趣来训练自己变得更快
乐。)”举例很呼应前文G项。故选G项。
43.【答案】
【解析】D项“ODptimism is more than just positive expectations.(乐观不仅仅是积极的期望。)”契合本段
小标题Develop optimism.(培养乐观精神)下文“It’s a way of interpreting everything that happens to you.

是对一切事情都有积极地解读。It 指代D项中的Optimism。故选D项。
44.【答案】F
【解析】根据空前“A lot of researches confirm that being grateful is good for you. It reduces anxiety and
depression, helps you become more positive, strengthens your relationships with others, and encourages sympathy.
(许多研究证实,感恩对你有好处。它减少焦虑和抑郁,帮助你变得更积极,加强你与他人的关系,并激
发同情心。)”列举了感恩的益处,F项It also has been shown to increase your feelings of happiness.(它也
被证明能增加你的幸福感。)继续列举感恩的另一个益处。契合上文。故选F项。
45.【答案】B
【解析】该空作为段落小标题,应概括下面段落内容。根据下文“Begin by imagining yourself in the future
when you have gotten to where you want to be. Pick a few goals and imagine that you have achieved them.(当你
到达你想要到达的地方时,开始想象你自己的未来。选几个目标,想象你已经实现了。)”想象未来实现
理想时的自己,想象未来自己可能成为的自己。B项内容符合题意。故选B项。
Passage 10 (2022·辽宁沈阳·一模)
As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you can’t
figure out what to do first.
___46___
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important.
One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal With Them
Confused or overwhelmed -- ___47___. Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher. They mayhelp you find solutions to your problems and worries.
Being too hard on yourself – ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out

Problems, problems, problems – recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems
at once. ____48____

you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. ___49___, do some research. Try the
library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
___50___. If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals.
Consider ways to overcome them. Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal – see what steps you can take to
achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A.Too much to do
B.If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need
C.talk to someone you trust
D.Goals exist to serve you
E.Balancing goals in life
F.Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later
G.As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文给毕业班的学生提出了面对诸多的压力时应该先做什么的建议。
46.【答案】E
【解析】由“When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s
important. One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.”可知,
你有很多事情要做,并有很多事情需要你花时间的时候,你可能不知道什么是重要的。顾全大局的最好的
办法之一是设计你的目标。所以本段主要在讲在生活中要平衡目标也就是小题1本段的小标题所要说明的
内容。故E选项“在生活中要平衡目标”切题。故选E项。
47.【答案】C
【解析】由“ Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher”可知,与朋友、父母或老师讨论你的忧
虑。所以小题2要总说困惑时或者不知所措时应该怎么做,然后再具体分说和谁去谈论。故C选线“和你
信任的人谈谈”切题。故选C项。48.【答案】F
【解析】由“it’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once”可知,一次性处理所有的问题压力
太大了。所以小题3要承接上句来说明既然没有能力同时处理,应该怎么做。故F选项“选择紧急的问题
来处理,剩下的留到后面再处理”切题。故选F项。
49.【答案】B
【解析】由“After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. 4 9 , do
some research”可知,当你确定了你的目标之后,确定你要达到这些目标所需的技能。做一些调查。所以小
题4要说明在什么情况下需要做一些调查研究。故“如果你不确定你需要什么技能”切题。故选B项。
50.【答案】D
【解析】由“If your goal is something you no longer want, change it”可知,如果你的目标不再是你想要的,
改变它。所以小题5要与后句为因果关系。故D选项“目标存在的目的是为了服务于你”故选D项。
