专题06 高考阅读理解 七选五
一、考情分析
“七选五”阅读题是高考新题型。新课程标准要求：阅读理解题主要考查学生理解书面语篇的能力，
其中包括对语篇内容、语篇结构的理解和把握，也包括对语篇内容的分析、阐释和评价。高考英语阅读七
选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸
如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握，并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力。
可以说，此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试。
高考英语新题型“七选五”阅读题的具体考试形式，就是将短文中的若干个句子(如五个句子)挑出，
打乱顺序与另外两个句子置于短文之后。学生根据短文内容，从短文后的七个句子中选出能填入空白处的
最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。此题型主要考查学生理解语篇上下文逻辑关系的能力。
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(从观点到例子)。常见的表示例证关系的
例证关系
标志词语有：for example, for instance, in fact/as a matter of fact, actually, in other
words/that is to say等。
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,
转折关系
on the contrary, instead, nevertheless (然而), still, in contrast/comparison, by
comparison等。
段中题
表示因果关系的标志词语有：so, therefore, thus, consequently (结果), as a result
因果关系
(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, also, besides, further, furthermore,
递进关系
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。
一、解题步骤
第一步：浏览全文，做出预判。同时理清全文的结构，了解文章大意，关注每个空格的位置。一般来
说，小标题类的文章是按“总--分”结构或“总--分--总”结构叙述的。段尾句用来总结全文或者提出希
望。第二步：分析选项，尤其根据选项中的代词、连词等来预测前后句可能存在的逻辑关系。
第三步：回归原文，根据空格前后推理。
在推理过程中，关注并列连词、转折连词、相同句式或相反句式等，排队一些选项，并结合上下文意，
推断出可填选项。最后，也是最关键的一步，检查一遍。将所填选项代入，通读全文，看上下文是否连贯，
结构、语境、逻辑是否一致。
二、解题技巧：
1、以最快的速度略读七选五的大小标题、首段、每段的首句，及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别
是however, but等后的内容)等重要部分，以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。事实上，一般只需花5～10
秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。
2、在七选五阅读过程中，一定要关注文章的首位段。尤其是文章的这两段的末尾句，因为“开门见
山”与“末尾点题”的写作方式是最为常见的，首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些
内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。
七选五首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义，如果它是文章的主题句，就可以使读者迅
速明确文章情节将如何展开，并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句，则需要继续寻
找。这时，可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式，如两者均可排除，则需在文章中其他段落寻
找主题句，但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。
3、重点阅读上下句，因为七选五题目的正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺，解题时
大多只看上句，或只看下句，就可基本确定答案。事实上，如果没有时间来得及通读或细读，或者基础不
够扎实即使读也读不懂，也基本上可以得满分。
4、做七选五题目的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读，圈画一些线索，再从选项
中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外，如果发现有一题拿不准
的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻
辑关系应该基本就能清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。
5、做完七选五后，通读全文。将所选项放入空白处，通读一遍，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑
上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。
若代入选项后，发现文章写作线索中断或是前后矛盾，应更换其它选项。要特别注意的是，不要仓促的改
自己的之前选定的答案。做这类的题目时，第一印象的可信度还是很高的，除非你已经常有充分的理由否
定向前的选择。
在做“七选五”阅读题时，还要注意：
1.好好分析阅读材料中的长难句在阅读过程中，难免会遇到长难句。通常句子较长，一个从句套着另一个从句，环环相扣。但不管句
子有多长、多复杂，它只由两部分组成，即主干和修饰成分。主干是整个句子的骨架，主要是主谓（宾）
结构或主系表结构。
而修饰成分在句中，只起修饰或补充主干的作用，它既可以是单词，也可以是短语，更常见的则是从
句，尤其是定语从句和状语从句。我们应该通过仔细分析，将每个修饰成分划出来，找出句子的主干，这
样整个句子就清晰了。
2.利用思维导图
思维导图完美结合了文字和图形，学生常用于学习笔记中。在教学中，需要引导学生把握篇章结构，
引导学生由词到句、再到段、到篇，关注语篇的结构和层次性，因此，可以借助思维导图增强对语篇的理
解，帮助解题。
3.抓住词汇、句式
除了理解句意，还应该遵循词汇一致性原则、句式一致性原则。对于词汇，应关注词汇复现，包括原
词、同根词、近义词、反义词、同畴词，还有人称代词、指示代词、定冠词等。句式一致性原则，则关注
相同句式和相反句式。
4.抓住逻辑线索
逻辑线索，即上下文语境，上下文之意的关系。因此可以关注原文和选项贩逻辑词，是否符合上下文
的逻辑关系。以下六类为常用的关联词，请大家一定要背熟：
①并列与递进：and, or, also, neither…nor, either…or, likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to
say, as well as, the same...as, besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to, what is more
②因果：because, for, since, as, thus, hence, therefore, so, so…that, consequently, accordingly, due to, thanks
to, as a result, because of, in that, for this reason, of course
③转折让步：but, however, yet, on the contrary, by contrast, on the other hand, unfortunately, while, whereas,
unlike, rather than, instead of, it is true that, of course, although, though, even though, even if, nevertheless, despite,
in spite of
④时间顺序：afterwards, at first, at last, finally, first, firstly, in the first place, to start with, in the mean time,
last, later, next, second, secondly, then, third, thirdly, to begin with以及一些具体的时间。
⑤表解释、例证的词有：in other words, that is (to say), for example, for instance等。
⑥表概括、归纳的词有：in general, on the whole, to conclude, to sum up, in short / brief / conclusion
等。
了解了这些逻辑关联词所表示的逻辑关系后，分析文本的时候就事半功倍了。
三、解题策略：
(1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，正确理解这些句子后，根据意思的连
贯性、逻辑性或线索词，从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。
(2)从词汇上锁定线索 首先保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的，要好好关注空白前后的名词和动
词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如数词、代
词、时间、年代、地点、名称等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的
方法。
关键词主要包括以下四种情况：
名词代词：名词会在前后句中重复出现，或者出现相关的同义内容。代词要求指代关系明确，常考
到的是he和they，最容易忽略的是you和your。
连词：要求前后句逻辑关系合理。在考试中重点考察的逻辑关系是并列、因果和转折，其中因果和
转折比较明显，并列关系除了各位耳熟能详的and之外，还有also很容易忽略。
形容词副词：并非在所有题目中都会出现，但是只要出现，题目难度就会直线下降。我们在文章里
和选项里都可能看到作者正态度或负态度的表现，而填入空格的句子要求与相邻句感情色彩保持一致。
关注到这一点，可以使备选选项数量减少至最多不超过三选一。
动词：并非在所有题目中都会出现，但是只要出现，题目难度就会直线下降。除了有时会出现考察
的连续动作之外，动词作为关键词的一大重点就是与相邻句的时态保持一致。在阅读填空中，如果出
现过去和现在时态的差异，则相邻句必须满足时态一致的需求。关注到这一点，可以使备选选项数量
减少至最多不超过三选一。
(3)从关联词作为切入点 通常，英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接，让文章的思路更
清楚、逻辑更连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线
索。在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。例如，在看到表示并列或递进关系的关联词时，一
般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性；表示转折让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指，但句
意对立，或褒贬对立或肯否对立；表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的
句子，往往会有复数名词出现。
(4)从位置上确定解题策略
①若问题在段首
a. 通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主
题句，找到答案。
b. 与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相
关特征词。一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会有
某种的衔接手段。
c. 段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机
地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
②若问题在段尾
a. 空白前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。
b. 通常是结论、概括性语句。要注意表示总结的信号词，如 therefore, as a result, hence, thus, to sum up,
to conclude, in short, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。c. 与前文是转折或对比关系。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。
d. 与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此根
据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词
或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。
要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。
e. 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。
f. 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。
③若问题是一整个自然段
a.承上启下是这个段落的主要任务，且自成一体，所以会有一个该段落主旨。考生可以从选项中较长
的选项开始阅读，以此类推直至找到正确答案。
b.着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句查找相关的线索，而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头，
因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。
c.分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内
容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。
掌握了解答阅读七选五的关键是理清文章结构和句间逻辑。我们不但要拼解题的准度，还要拼解题的
速度，这里给大家介绍一种快捷的解题技法——一序一忌看四点。
一序：先看七、再读文，快捷准确有针对
关于做题顺序，是先读文段，还是先看七个选项，大多数人倾向于先读文段。但是，笔者还是建议先
看七个选项，再读短文。先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置。通常有三个位置：段首、段中、段尾。
不同位置的句子有不同的特征，有时有的选项本身表述就是错误的，可以直接从备选项中清除，以降低难
度。
一忌：“选一个、划一个”，这个方法不足取
解答阅读七选五题目最大的风险就是容易出现连环错！假如做题时，我们选一个，划掉一个，美其名
曰：逐步缩小包围圈。方法虽妙，但倘若前面我们错选了一处，那么就会导致多处错选。因此我们做题时
要特别忌讳“选出一个划掉一个”，以避免造成一错再错，产生连环错误，特别是那些句子结构相同、句
意相近的选项更是需要我们三思而定。
看四点：体裁、指代、连贯词，重复信息有价值
1. 看文段体裁，用好鲜明特征
从近年高考所选材料来看，其体裁基本是说明文和记叙文。说明文的特征是主题鲜明、层次清晰，语
篇特征非常明晰。记叙文则以故事发展脉络为主线，为了有趣，常常会出现一些比较特别的记叙手法，因
而会增加理解的难度。
2. 看代词指代，寻根还需溯源
英语是一门非常讲究简洁的语言，所以在篇章中代词的运用很多，用于指代上文已经提到过的人、物
或者整个事件。追根溯源，找到指代与被替代关系，会大大加快我们解题的速度。3. 看上下连贯，捕捉文段脉络
上下连贯是好的篇章的特点，常常靠“起承转合”来实现。“起”就是开端，或提出主题或吸引读者
关注主题；“承”就是承接上文加以申述；“转”就是转折，指出问题或困难；“合”则是给出解决问题
的方法或建议。这些特征在说明文和议论文中尤为明显。
4. 看重复信息，把握内在联系
篇章是相对完整的一个语义体，自然而然会有很多割裂不开的内在联系。这些联系常常靠同义词、近
义词、反义词或者借助词性的变化来重复体现，而这些重复信息的存在，又为我们提供了良好的解题契机。
二、真题回顾
(2023年新高考全国I卷)
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is
human. 36 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 37 Are you caring? Creative?
Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your
personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve
done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing
without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 38
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 39 That way, you could exchange
thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t
wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The
thing is, it’s true. 40 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop
and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. F 39. C 40. G
【解析】本文为一篇说明文。文章鼓励人们练习自我宽恕，并提供了一个简单的写作练习来增强自信。通
过列出个人的优点和善良的行为，人们可以学会原谅自己的错误，并从中成长。
【36题】D 根据空前内容“Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up
about them. To err (犯错) is human. (为错误承担责任是积极的一步，但不要因此而自责。人孰能无过)”可知，
作者认为人都会犯错，勇于承担责任固然重要，但是也不要因此而过于自责。结合空后“You can use the
following writing exercise to help you do this. (你可以使用下面的写作练习来帮助你做到这一点)”中的“do
this”以及下文内容可推断，空处应该内容和“不要太自责”相似。选项 D“It’s just as important to show
yourself some forgiveness. (宽恕自己也同样重要)”与“不要太自责”语意相近，起承上启下的作用。故选
D。
【37题】B 根据空前内容“In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths. ” (在日记
或纸上写上“个人优点”)”以及空后内容“Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be
around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. (你有爱心吗？
有创造力吗？你慷慨吗？是一个好的倾听者？与人相处很有趣吗？它们不一定要改变世界，只要你个性中
让你感到自豪的方面就行)”可知，空处指的是列出一些你个性中的优点。选项 B“Now list all the
characteristics you like about yourself. (现在列出所有你喜欢的自己身上的特点)”符合上下文内容，下文内容
具体解释那些是优点。故选B。
【38题】F 根据上文内容“At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all
the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework,
when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. (在
第二页的顶部，写上“善举”的标题。在这张单子上，列出你为别人做过的所有积极的事情。它可能是当
你帮助朋友做作业的时候，当你没有被要求却主动熨衣服的时候，或者当你在家人累了一天之后烤饼干的
时候)”可知，本段主要讲述的是列出一些自己所做的好事。选项F“Whatever it is, no matter how small it
might seem, write it down. (不管是什么，不管它看起来有多小，都要把它写下来)”与上文内容一致，讲述的
是不管你所做的事情不管有多小，只要是好的事情，都记下来。故选F。
【39题】C 根据空后内容“That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the
aspects of your personality that shine through. (这样，你们就可以交换意见，谈谈是什么让你们每个人都与众不同，以及你们个性中闪光的方面)”可知，空处提到了某种方式，这种方式会使得你和朋友们一起交换意
见等。选项C“They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. (他们甚至可能想试一试做练习)”符合语
境，C项中的“they”与空前的“You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. (你可以让朋
友或家人帮你增加你的列表内容。)”中的“a friend or family member”保持一致，同时选项C和下文“In
fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. (事
实上，不要等到你犯了错误才去尝试这个——这是一个在任何时候都能增强自信的好方法)”中的“this”一
致。故选C。
【40 题】G 根据空前内容“It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their
successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. (大多数人不是从他们的成功中学习，而是从他们的错误中
学习，这是陈词滥调。但事实是，这是真的)”可知，作者认为人是从错误中学习。选项G“Whatever the
mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. (不管你犯了什么错误，记住这不是你性格中固定
的一面)”符合语境，G项中的“isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality”和空后内容“We’ re all changing and
learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (我们一直在改变和学习，错误是一种
积极的发展和成长的方式)”保持一致，指的都是犯错并不是性格中固有的一面，我们是通过错误来成长。
故选G。
(2022年新高考全国I卷)
第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?
There’s one answer. 3 6 .
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right ai our fingertips. However,
research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more
optimistic. 3 7 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of
California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology researchsuggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit
of waiting is to practice. 3 8 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes
before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to
other, more annoying situations.
● 3 9 .
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we
experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to
say to yourself, “ 4 0 .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. B 39. C 40. F
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了变得耐心的一些方法。
【36题】G 根据上文“Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all
have in common? There’s one answer. (这里有一个谜语：交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处？
的
答案只有一个)”可知，本句说明上文谜语 答案，结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都
需要耐心。故G选项“在这些情况下，我们都需要一点额外的耐心”符合语境，故选G。
【37题】E 根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and
even more optimistic.(感恩有很多好处：研究表明，感恩让我们更快乐，压力更小，甚至更乐观)”以及后文
““Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学
的研究员叶丽说：“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知，上文提到了感恩的诸多好处，可知本句
继续说明感恩的好处：它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项
“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境，故选E。
【38题】B 根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习
惯的唯一方法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra
minutes before going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看，或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知，后文列举的事情都是日常的小事，说明要从小事开始练习等待，故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境，故
选B。
【39 题】C 根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will
tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances.
(我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时，我们会对环境失
去耐心)”可知，本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知，本段的主
旨与接受不舒适相关，C选项中uncomfortable对应后文comfortable。故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境，
故选C。
【40题】F 根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll
then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态，可
知，本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关，故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服，而不是无法忍受”符合语境，
故选F。
三、最新模拟试题
(1)
(2023春·浙江·高三天台中学校联考阶段练习)
Do you ever feel really afraid of failing? Do you think you have to be perfect all the time? Do you get very
upset over small mistakes that you think you made and then imagine that makes the whole thing you are working
on wrong? 1
Perfectionists think that if they don’t act perfectly, they are really bad or worthless. 2 For example, you
imagine other people judge you very harshly for very small mistakes. Perfectionists set really unrealistic goals for
themselves, such as, I will make honor roll every year or never miss a step in that dance sequence. 3 This
kind of thinking means you view situations as all good or all bad—nothing in between.
4 The first step is to help them identify their thoughts about a situation that’s distressing. They are
advised to ask themselves, “What is going through my mind right now?” Then, if their next thought is along the
lines of all-good or all-bad thinking such as “I made a mistake and now my project is ruined,” it is suggested that
they ask themselves something about that thought. They could ask, “Is there a way to see my situation as not all
good or bad, but as something in between?”
Setting realistic goals sounds like a crucial part of trying to avoid perfectionism, while still being motivated to
do well. Yes, contrary to what most people think, you can still become very successful without being aperfectionist! 5 They can fail at a task and more easily bounce back from that failure.
A. If you do, then you are probably a perfectionist.
B. So what can people do to help change the way they think?
C. Perfectionists sometimes avoid challenges for fear of failing.
D. When they don’t meet these goals, they feel it’s a catastrophe.
E. They appreciate success without linking it so rigidly to their self-worth.
F. Positive strivers set realistic goals and enjoy challenging themselves.
G. They usually think others also use the same unreasonably high standards to judge them.

Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in our
brain for only 15-30 seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, or
even years.
Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to remember faces.
2 Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the
sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are
emotional memories. They are long term and can sometimes last a lifetime.
Why are memories important?
3 Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready
for when you need it. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week, “If I miss seeing my
granny and granddad, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there.”
“When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as
friends or family, and talking with them,” Erica Boothby, a social-psychologist, said. By telling a funny or
embarrassing story we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome. By sharing similar experiences,
we empathize (产生共鸣) with and understand one another better.

Kim Roberts, a professor who runs the Child Memory Lab in Canada, believes focusing on happy memorieswill help you feel more positive. 5 Roberts says it’s also helpful to remember that if you missed out on your
last term at school, or birthday celebrations, then your friends did too. One day you will look back on this year as
an important memory that you all share.
A. When do memories fade?
B. Can memories help well being?
C. Memories tell you the story of yourself.
D. Emotional memories are usually sad ones.
E. These types of memories can be short or long term.
F. If you have difficult memories, though, it is important to talk about them.
G. By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive.

Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose,
and lets me see behind the scenes. 1 —“Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”
What is my advice to beginners? I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained; 2 But that’s not
what photography is about for me. If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question:
“What is the story here?” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste
processing plant that deals with wat’s left over — 3 What does that mean? If I’m photographing a dinner
party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene
around it. If I’m taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan, I make sure to find an angle that shows just how
much they’ve harvested, but also a few close-ups of the weathered hands that are carefully sorting.
4 I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be.
So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.
Do I have a good camera? Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on
that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer. 5 so start there, and start today.
A. Let the story guide you.
B. I have virtually no art experience.
C. Like anything, photography requires practice.
D. Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore.
E. Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.F. It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.
G. I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens.

Hilde’s father was a reporter. He often took her to work with him, and she developed a strong interest in news
stories and reporting. 1 She did the writing, her sister Izzy took pictures, and her father helped her organize
and print the newspaper. Hilde wanted to cover big stories in her town. Following the rules her father had taught
her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper.
The newspaper suddenly became famous when a murder happened in the town, and Hilde was the first person
to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were doing stories on Hilde.
2 Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.
Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter’’. Some people even suggested she should be playing
with dolls. 3 She responded with a YouTube video.“I never began my newspaper so that people would think I
was cute,” she said.“I want to be taken seriously.’’
That wasn’t the last time Hilde had trouble getting people to take her seriously. Sometimes, it was because of
her age. Other times, it was because she was a girl. 4 Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a
reporter have made her famous.
Now Hilde has published a book telling her own story and the challenges she has faced. Some of those
challenges came from Hilde herself, struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older. 5 But she is still
just 15, and has plenty of time to decide what she wants to do with her life. Her efforts have already inspired people
around the world.
A. But she never let that stop her.

what matters most. Here are some tips.
Be honest with yourself
Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing
a new watch or carrying a designer purse. 1 So before taking action towards any endeavor, such as making an
expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for?”
2 However, if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no
to yourself.
Honor your limits
You can’t be everything for everyone. Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable. 3 It is important
that you are wise with your resources.
The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a
reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.
Stop comparing yourself to others
People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an undeclared competition with
the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always someone out there who has more of what you
desire.
Stop comparing yourself to others. 4 Focus on living a meaningful life that is consistent with your
values and goals.
Be fair to yourself
You are likely your worst critic. You secretly say things to yourself that you would never have the heart to tell
others.
Remember to have realistic expectations of yourself. 5 If the goal is unrealistic, then you have to say no
and adjust your expectations.
A. You criticize yourself for shortcomings.
B. The truth is you have limited energy and time.
C. The reality is that you are not being recognized.
D. What someone is doing with their life has nothing to do with you.
E. If a pursuit will truly improve the quality of your life, then go for it.
F. The same can be said about other pursuits such as accumulating wealth and status.
G. When you set goals, consider whether you have set the standard at a reasonable level.(6)

How to Be a Good Listener
Whether you’re communicating in person or on the phone, being a good listener is an important part of any
healthy relationship. 1 If you’ve wondered whether you could be a better listener, the answer is almost
certainly “yes”. Making sure the people in your life feel truly heard is something that you can improve upon.
You appear more interested when you invite the speaker to give explanations, by asking them things that need
more than a “yes” or “no” answer. “An open-ended question is an invitation for the other person to say more, and
continue going deeper into their train of thought, versus (与……相对比) a close-ended question that invites a
factual answer,” Dr. Bobby explains. 2
What you’re expressing through your body language is as important as what you say. It’s about looking in
someone’s eyes, smiling and nodding. Showing with your face that you’re following what someone is saying is
really important. 3 Remember that looking into your laptop camera is like making eye contact, while
breaking it to look downward makes it appear that you’re doing something else.
4 “People can be considered as poor listeners when they don’t understand what the conversation is
actually about on a high level.” Dr. Bobby says. 5 Maybe they’re really just wanting to express their bad
feelings, or talk about their day. So don’t try to give suggestions; just listen instead.
A. Listening requires looking at problems from other’s view.
B. In fact, people only want to get to know more about others.
C. This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat.
D. Sometimes, people simply want to talk about an unhappy situation.
E. This is something you can do to show that you’re really listening.
F. Being a bad listener can break that person’s trust in your relationship.
G. Listening doesn’t always require offering solutions — quite the opposite, in fact.

The best way to learn new skills has been widely debated. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published Outliers,
which introduced the so-called “10,000 hours rule” that states it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a
subject.1 Let’s break down what this involves.
You’re willing to learn from people you don’t like.
We tend to get annoyed with people who don’t share our view of the world. 2 That’s exactly why they
offer opportunities to learn. You don’t need to buy into someone’s values about the world to learn from them and
they can offer a new perspective.
3
Stick to one comfortable mode of learning is a bad idea. Master learners are willing to learn from lots of
sources, including the following: technical dry books or manuals, YouTube or Instagram, calling or visiting people
they don’t know, searching the internet and through friendships and social relationships.
You can reflect on your work and think outside of the box.
Master learners don’t just become good in their field. They think about what they learn in ways that aren’t
focused on one topic. 4 They allow their minds to move in creative ways and connect seemingly diverse
concepts and tools that other people don’t connect.
You approach learning with your learning objectives in mind.
I love learning about other people’s learning processes. I once watched a video made by a medical student who
stopped going to lectures. She recognized that the lectures weren’t as efficient or effective as reading her own
books.
Master learners don’t follow someone else’s learning plan. For example, they don’t use one learning app for
hundreds of lessons without exploring other options. 5
A. You’re willing to try out different thinking styles.
B. You’re ready to learn through different modes and channels.
C. People who are different from us will tend to approach problems differently.
D. But from a psychological perspective, what makes someone a master learner?
E. They develop their own learning plan based on their specific learning objectives.
F. The smartest, most creative people don’t rely solely on focus for getting things done.
G. To add to our learning, we’ll need to be willing to learn from people who we don’t personally like.

Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. 1 It is about being intentional with everything you do
—your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it isworthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal.
● Be conscious about your time.
Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. The way you spend your time
determines the course of your life. If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later.
The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. 2
● Know yourself better.
You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. 3 Spend time thinking over
and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards
becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.
● Learn to be grateful.
Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset.
Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be
grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. 4
● Believe in yourself.
It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. The best way to build self-belief is
by reflecting on your own thoughts. 5 Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line.
Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will
absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run.
A. Accept the person you are.
B. Life can be a lot better with the right decisions.
C. It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.
D. Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.
E. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate it for positive activities.
F. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves.
G. Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice.
