文档内容
考向 30 阅读理解之七选五
题型特征
七选五试题给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填
入相应的空白处。该类题型要求从短文后的七个选项中（均为完整的句子）选出五个能填入文章空处的最佳选
项，主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。其命题形式深受阅读多项选择
题的影响，体现了《新课标》“用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力；逐步获取用英语思维的能力。”的阅读
学习和教学理念。七选五和传统题型完型填空有些类似，虽然完型填空题考查的是词汇层面，七选五考查的是
句子层面，但是它们的考查方式是一样的，只要考生选择的答案能够使行文连贯，符合英文的语法以及习惯表
达就行，因此，这两类题型在做题方法上有共同之处。该题型命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点，又与完形填空
具有异曲同工之妙，只是选项少，以句子形式出现，考查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。
从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的
理解和掌握。”可以得出以下判断：该题备选项可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结
构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置，例如主旨概括
句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。
试题特点
1. 符合《英语课程标准》中“提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力”的要求
和《普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 说明》中“如果希望准确、深刻地理解一篇文章，必须对文章的结构有
所了解，把握住全篇的文脉，即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。”的要求。如果说通常意义上的高考英语完
形填空题是词法和句法范围内的考查，它是语言表达的基本单位，属于语言的组织规律，那么阅读填空题就是
章法范围内的考查，是语言使用的范畴，属于言语的组织规律，简单地说，前者侧重语言的结构—语法，而后
者侧重语言的使用—章法。
2. 注重考查学生的逻辑思维能力。阅读本质就是一种理解、吸收、鉴赏、评价文章的思维过程，新题型不
但要求考生具备词汇、句子、语段、语篇等方面的知识，而且要有辨证、综合、分析、归纳方面的逻辑思维能
力，是阅读的深层理解，也是阅读的核心和关键。
3. 题材新颖，具有浓厚的时代气息和较高的真实性，与学生的学习经历和生活经历相适应，与新课程理念
下的高考改革走向相适应，与高中英语教学实际相适应，遵循了《英语课程标准》的评价理念，保证了试题的
效度、信度、真实性和公平性原则。
解答技巧根据试题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题策略
1. 如果空白在段首
(1)通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关词，从
而推断出主题句。
(2)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文的第一、二句，锁定线索词，然后在选项中
查找相关词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的。
(3)段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望，阅读上一段的结尾部分，并结合下一段的内容，将所选的
答案代入，看其是否能承上启下，将两段内容连起来。
2. 如果空白在段尾
(1)重点阅读空白前的一两句以锁定关键词。
(2)通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，选项中也可
发现前文的同义词、句。
(3)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
内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
(4)与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是要补全说明本段主题的其他细节，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线索。前句与正确
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。
(5)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。
(6)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。
3. 如果空白构成一整个自然段
(1)这个段落应该起承上启下的作用，而且自成一体，即有一个段落的中心，因此可重点阅读较长
的选项，以此类推，直至找到正确答案。
(2)着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句，寻找相关的线索，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重要。
(3)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，即为正确答案。
【典例示例】(2021年6月·浙江卷)
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. 31"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 32 ” 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. 33 Running the website has
almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier 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't understand it. 34 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 English. 35 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.

长难句分析 原文：Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social networkthat hasgrown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it
10 year ago.
分析：本句为主从复合句。句中的a social network与the website postcrossing.com是同位
语；that引导定语从句；since引导时间状语从句。
答案与解析：
31.G 空格处为本段结尾句，前文出现了描述Paulo喜欢世界各地明信片的内容，即“Or Africa'sVictoria Falls.
Or China 's Great Wal.”，由此可知他喜欢各种明信片。设空处为总结性语言，G选项中的信息“in short”符合
逻辑顺序，“he loves postcards”承接上文题意。故选G项。
32.A 空格前提到Paulo邮寄明信片的“遭遇”，空格后提到“Seeking other like-minded souls,However,Paulo
started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online”，由此可知空格处承上启下，表示遇到的问题“完全不成问
题”,说明Paulo没有放弃自己的爱好，而是采取了网络方式。故选A。
33.E 根据空格前的“a sociall network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 2 14 countriesand regions since
he started it 10 year ago”可知，Paulo创办的这家社交网站注册人数一直在增长，选项 E中的“On August 5 , the
number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31million”能承接前文，用数据说明网站的火爆。故选E。
34.F 根据空格前的“As cool as it may be to receive postcard written in Chinesc, the concept doesn 't work if one
doesn 't understand it”以及空后的“so”可知，此处指两者情况的比较。F 项“Similarly, if you speak only
Chincse，receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the funaway”符合题意，其中的“Similarly”说明对比关系。故
选F。
35.B 根据空格前的“Many people in China have limited exposure to English”可知，中国很多人接触英语的机会
有限，所以学习和练习这种语言会有难度。B项“That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it”符合题意，其
中的“hard to learn and practice”说明此意。故选B。

Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 1 . Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice. It
can even be fun. Here are some guidelines to help you become a better English learner.
Study every day. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some
estimates. Rather than try and cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study
sessions are more effective. 2 . 3 . Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up.
Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too
much; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.
Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can
also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 4 . Write it down. Repetition is key as you'relearning English, so writing is a great way to practice. 5 . By making a habit of writing, you’ll also find your reading and
comprehension skills improve over time. You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A. Keep things fresh.
B. Play vocabulary and grammar games.
C. But with regular study, it can be done.
D. It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
E.Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with doing so.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
G.By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar.
【答案】1. C 2. F 3. A 4. G 5. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何成为一个更好的英语学习者的方法。
1. 根据上文“Learning a new language like English can be a challenge.(学习一门像英语这样的新语言是一种挑战)”
及常识可知，尽管学习英语是一种挑战，但是通过有规律的学习，也是可以学会的。由此可知，C. But with
regular study, it can be done.(但经过有规律的学习，它可以被学会)能够承接上文，符合题意。故选C。
2. 根据本段主旨句“Study every day.(每天学习)”及上文“Rather than try and cram a few hours of review once or
twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective.(大多数专家表示，与每周一两次花几
个小时死记硬背相比，短时间、有规律的学习更有效)”可知，此处强调了每天坚持短时间、有规律的学习更有
效。由此可知，F. As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.(每天只需30分钟
就可以帮助你随着时间的推移提高你的英语技能)正是每天坚持短时间、有规律的一种学习方法。故选F。
3. 根据下文“Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little
grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much; 20
minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.(不要在整
个学习过程中专注于一项任务，试着把事情混合起来。先学一点语法，然后做一小段听力练习，再读一篇相同
主题的文章。不要做太多；花20分钟做三种不同的练习就足够了。多样性会让你保持专注，让学习变得更有
趣)”可知，本段主要强调了多样性学习的好处。由此可知，A. Keep things fresh.(保持事物新鲜)适合作本段主旨
句。故选A。
4. 根据上文“Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or
watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills.(读，看，听。阅读英文报纸和
书籍，听音乐或看电视也可以帮助你提高你的书面和口头理解能力)”及常识可知，经常读、看、听英语能够让
学习者自然而然地吸收像说话模式、口音和语法这样的东西。由此可知，G. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb
things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar. (通过重复这样做，你会吸收像说话模式、口音和语法这样的东西)符合题意。故选G。
5. 根据上文“Write it down. Repetition is key as you're learning English, so writing is a great way to practice.(把它写

also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time.(通过养成写的习惯，你也会发现你的阅读和理解
能力随着时间的推移而提高)”可知，本段强调了写的重要性。由此可知，D. It doesn’t matter whether you use a
computer or pen and paper.(你是用电脑还是用笔和纸都没关系)指出不要在意写的方式，正是强调一定要坚持写，
符合题意。故选D。

Before COVID-19, self-care — caring for ourselves — may have not been a priority for many people. 6 . . There is
no exact way to practice self-care. It includes many areas and may look different from person to person. Here are some
suggestions on what can be done.
7 .
For some people, self-care may be simply slowing down. It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can
control. This is important when the world around you feels out of control.
Learn something new
For some people, self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for. 8 . .
Mental health self-care
Another form of self-care is making time to meet with a mental health specialist, if needed. The Associated Press
reports that online mental health services have increased during the pandemic. However, meeting with a mental health
professional may not be possible for some people. 9 . . Meditating, writing about your feelings and problems, and
organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.
Be kind to yourself — the best type of self-care
Experts remind us that self-care during the pandemic could feel like riding a rollercoaster — up some days, down
on others.
It can help to have a routine — a usual way of doing things. But experts say keep the routine simple. 10 . .
Remember, be kind to yourself.
A. Never feel out of control
B. Slow down and feel in control
C. But now it is even more important than usual
D. So doctors have suggestions for other ways to reduce stress during the pandemic
E.Self-care includes both individual wellness and the wellness of the greater community
F.It is also important not to be hard on yourself if you do not keep to your routine every dayG.These things include baking, gardening, and learning a new language or some other new skills
【答案】6. C 7. B 8. G 9. D 10. F
【解析】这是一篇说明文。在COVID-19之前，自我护理——照顾自己——可能不是许多人的优先事项，但是
现在它比平时更重要。文章主要介绍了一些自我照顾的建议。
6. 根据上文“Before COVID-19, self-care — caring for ourselves — may have not been a priority for many people.(在
COVID-19之前，自我护理——照顾自己——可能不是许多人的优先事项)”结合后文提出了一些自我护理的方法，
可知本句与上文构成转折，指出自我护理的重要性。故C选项“但是现在它比平时更重要”符合语境，故选
C。
7. 根据后文“For some people, self-care may be simply slowing down. It can also mean controlling parts of your life
that you can control. This is important when the world around you feels out of control. (对一些人来说，自我护理可能
只是慢了下来。它也可以指控制你生活中你能控制的部分。当你感到周围的世界失控时，这一点很重要)”可知，
本段关于自我护理的方法是慢下来，B选项中Slow down对应后文中slowing down。故B选项“慢下来，感觉
一切尽在掌握”符合语境，故选B。
8. 根据小标题“Learn something new(学习新事物)”以及上文“For some people, self-care might include doing
things they have always wanted to do but never made time for.(对一些人来说，自我照顾可能包括做一些他们一直想
做但从来没有时间做的事情)”可知，本段提出的建议是学习新事物，本句为本段最后一句，应举例说明可以学
习哪些新事物。故G选项“这些事情包括烘焙、园艺、学习一门新语言或其他一些新技能”符合语境，故选
G。
9. 根据上文“However, meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people.(然而，对一
些人来说，与心理健康专业人士见面可能是不可能的)”以及后文“Meditating, writing about your feelings and
problems, and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.(冥想，写下你的感受和问题，整理
你周围的物理空间，这些都是自我照顾的形式)”可知，上文提到与心理健康专业人士见面不可能，后文则提到
了其它自我照顾的方式，可知本句与上文构成因果关系，指出医生对在大流行期间减少压力的其他方法有建议。
故D选项“因此，医生对在大流行期间减少压力的其他方法有建议”符合语境，故选D。
10. 根据上文“It can help to have a routine — a usual way of doing things. But experts say keep the routine simple.(养
成一种例行公事的习惯是有帮助的。但专家表示，保持简单的作息习惯)”可知，上文提到专家建议保持简单的
作息习惯，F选项中routine对应上文中routine。故F选项“同样重要的是，如果你不坚持你的日常生活，不要
对自己太苛刻”符合语境，故选F。

G.As is often the case, our biggest excuse is that we don't have time
【答案】11. E 12. G 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了持之以恒的四个方法。
11. 由本段第一句“It is quite natural that we all have our down time to readjust but it is fairly important that
consistency should be a regular practice in our world. (很自然，我们都有休息的时间去调整，但在我们的世界里，
持之以恒应该成为一种常规做法，这一点相当重要)”和下文小标题“Create a plan. (制定一个计划)”“Schedule. (日
程)”“Stick to it. (坚持下去)”可知，文章主要介绍持之以恒的几个方法，承接上下文，E选项“以下是一些有用的
建议，帮助你保持持之以恒”切题。故选E项。
12. 由小标题“Schedule. (日程)”和本段第二句“You have to schedule your consistency tasks just like you schedule
anything else, even if you start off at 30 minutes a day and add from there. (你必须像安排其他事情一样安排你持之以
恒的任务，即使你每天从30分钟开始并从那里添加)”可知，本段讲合理利用时间、制作时间表的内容，填写内
容应选择与时间相关的句子，承接上下文，G选项“就像通常情况一样，我们最大的借口就是没有时间”切题
故选G项。13. 由小标题“Schedule. (日程)”，上一句“You have to schedule your consistency tasks just like you schedule
anything else, even if you start off at 30 minutes a day and add from there. (你必须像安排其他事情一样安排你持之以
恒的任务，即使你每天从30分钟开始并从那里添加)”和下一句“Your future is your priority (优先的事物). (你的
未来是你的头等大事)”可知，本段讲合理利用时间、制作时间表的内容，但未来是头等大事，说明安排事情时，
也是需要把事情进行轻重缓急的排序，承接上下文，C选项“你可以把事情按重要性排序”切题。故选C项。
14. 由小标题“Stick to it. (坚持下去)”，上一句“Don’t quit. (别放弃)”和下一句“Now that you have come so far, it
doesn't make sense to give up on yourself. (既然你已经走了这么远，放弃自己是没有意义的)”可知，上文讲不要放
弃，说明遇到了困难，对于已经走了这么远的人来说，虽然他们已经很累了，但放弃毫无意义，所以是时候休
息一下来反思过往、查漏补缺，坚持下去，承接上下文，D选项“有时候我们需要休息一下来反思”切题。故
选D项。
15. 由下两句“Look back to see how far you've come. Look over your goals and accomplishments daily, weekly and
monthly to see how much you have completed. (回头看看你已经走了多远。每天、每周和每月检查你的目标和成就，
看看你完成了多少)”可知，本段作者建议要检查自己的目标和成就，看实现了多少，承接下文，A选项“衡量
你的结果”切题。故选A项。

Many people truly want to help a friend who is in pain. But words often fail us at times like these, leaving us
stammering (结巴) for the right thing to say. Some people are so afraid to say or do the wrong thing that they choose to
do nothing at all. 16 . There’s no one perfect way to respond or to support someone you care about, but there are some
good ground rules.
17 . You are not supposed to be a central figure when your friend feels sad. You may say you would have done
things differently if this unlucky thing had happened to you. Of course, I hope you don’t get the chance to find out. The
unhappiness belongs to your friend. So follow their lead.
Keep in mind that being with someone who is in pain isn’t easy. Your friend cannot show up for their part of the
relationship very well, and you will likely get hurt. Don’t take it personally. 18 . In fact, one of the best things you can
do for a friend in sorrow is to forecast their needs. Don’t say, “Call me if there’s anything I can do,” because your friend
will not call. What you should do is to make concrete offers: “I will stop by each morning on my way to work and take
your dog for a quick walk.” Then show up and do it.
19 . Hug your friend, rub their back, and touch their arm. Comfort them with small physical gestures that let them
know you care and calm them.
Give them hope. Give your friend hope that things will eventually get better. 20 .
A. Show your love.B. Keep your friend at ease.
C. Instead, please be tolerant of them.
D. Remember to play a supporting role.
E.After all, the future will be full of hope.
F.Their heart will heal and life will go on.
G.That’s certainly an option, but it’s not often a good one.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. F
【解析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了安慰伤心的朋友的方法。
16.上文讲在面对需要安慰的朋友时，一些人们因担心说错话或做的不合适而选择什么都不做，下文“There’s no
one perfect way to respond or to support someone you care about, but there are some good ground rules.(没有一个完美
的方式来回应或支持你关心的人，但有一些好的可遵循的基本规则) ”说“有方法，可做”，与上文语意有转折
关系。G项“That’s certainly an option, but it’s not often a good one.(这当然是一个选择，但通常不是一个好选择)”
中That指代上文“choose to do nothing at all ”，“but it’s not often a good one.”引出下文，该在段中项承上启下。
故选G项。
17.设空处是段首中心句。由下文“You are not supposed to be a central figure when your friend feels sad.(当你的朋
友感到悲伤时，你不应该成为中心人物)”以及段尾句“So follow their lead.(所以跟着他们走 )”可知，全段讲述的
是，安慰悲伤的朋友，不要以自我为中心，要以朋友的感受为主。D项“Remember to play a supporting role.(记
住扮演配角 )”符合语境。故选D项。
18.上文说“Keep in mind that being with someone who is in pain isn’t easy. Your friend cannot show up for their part of
the relationship very well, and you will likely get hurt. Don’t take it personally.(记住，和一个痛苦的人在一起并不容
易。你的朋友可能不能很好地展示他们的角色，你可能会受到伤害。不要认为这是针对你个人的)”中说到陪伴
痛苦的朋友可能受到朋友的伤害，但不要认为是针对你，C 项“Instead, please be tolerant of them.(相反，请包容
他们)”讲要包容，意义上与其是顺承关系，且其中代词them指代上文Your friend。故选C项。
19设空处是段首中心句。根据段中内容可知，作者建议用“small physical gestures ”来“let them know you care
and calm them.(让他们知道你关心他们，让他们平静下来)”，A 项“Show your love.(表达你的爱)”语意相关，其
中Show指的就是文中“Hug your friend, rub their back, and touch their arm”行为。故选A项。
20.上文“Give your friend hope that things will eventually get better.(给你的朋友希望，事情最终会好起来)”主要是
说给朋友希望，让朋友明白一切最终都会好起来，F项“Their heart will heal and life will go on.(他们的心会自愈，
生活也会继续)”与上文是顺承关系，是给朋友希望的结果。故选F项。

National Napping Day: reasons you should nap.Finding the time to recover among daily responsibilities can be hard, but napping has benefits that could help you
level up in your overall health and productivity. 21 . In other words, if you feel like calling it a day and feeling sleepy,
don’t feel bad.
22 . Taking a nap once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes, according to a study
published in the journal Heart. After tracking more than 3,400 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for slightly more
than five years, the researchers found that those who liked occasional napping -once or twice a week, for five minutes to
an hour-were 48% less likely to experience a heart attack, stroke or heart failure than those who didn’t nap at all.
It might even help you get into shape. A 2020 study focusing on women found the more sleep-deprived (失眠) the
women were, the more likely they were to consume added sugar, fatty foods and caffeine. 23 . That’s because
inadequate sleep is believed to stimulate hunger and suppress hormone signals that communicate fullness.
Napping has been found to boost your creativity. 24 . In a January 2020 study of 2,214 Chinese adults ages 60 and
older, participants who took afternoon naps for five minutes to two hours showed better mental ability than those who
didn’t nap.
Napping may not ensure success in every aspect of your life, but it could improve your health and charge your
brain's batteries. 25 .
A. Now go lie down.
B. You'll have lower risk for heart problems.
C. Taking a nap may make your brain more alert.
D. A lack of quality sleep could lead to overeating.
E.A short nap may also make you feel more relaxed.
F.The right side of your brain may experience a mental spark during a nap.
G.It means there is no reason to feel as if you’re lazy for taking a quick nap.
【答案】21. G 22. B 23. D 24. F 25. A

Your guide to becoming the perfect gift giver
6
Trying to find the perfect present is as difficult as trying to read someone's mind. Few people will actually tell you
what they want for a special occasion, and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don't need or want
anything! 26 . Here are some tips that could help.
Be honest - do you wait until the last minute to start looking for presents? 27 . So are we! However, starting your
shopping early can have a number of advantages. The closer it gets to holidays such as Christmas, the higher the prices
creep up. So, if you wait too long, you might have to spend quite a bit more on what you want.
28 . Now is the time to put your thinking cap on as you make a list. Here, you can write down everything thereceivers love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more 29 . If you are lucky, you should be able to find a
few good ideas in one of these lists. At the very least, you will have some ideas of which direction you should head off
in.
30 . Often, the reason you get stuck for gift ideas is because you are restricting yourself too much. If you are only
fixed on the same kind of presents then you'll run out of inspiration. There really are many wonderful out - of - the - box
ideas to select from. If a regular present isn't doing the trick, it may be time to think a little bigger. Instead of a physical
gift, you can give someone an experience that they will never forget.
A. So what to do?
B. You are definitely not alone.
C. Save your money by being an early bird.
D. You will be able to give them the gift of friendship.
E.If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative.
F.What memory between the two of you stand out the most?
G.Once you have done this, you can move onto the things they need.

Over the past ten months of pandemic life, cooking has become a shelter for me. New York Times food editor Sam
Sifton referred to Korean fried rice and said it "improves moods, atmospheres and weeks alike". 31 . I'd argue it
improves physical health, finances and skills, and reduces stress. Really, cooking is a rewarding thing you should do
these days.
Cooking food for yourself is beneficial to your physical health. When you cook your own food, you control exactly
what goes into your body. It's the best possible way to “dial in” or clean up your diet. 32 . A recent survey has found
that twice as many Americans are cooking at home than a year ago, and that nearly a quarter are doing so in an effort to
eat healthier.
33 . It's considerably cheaper than ordering from restaurants, or buying prepared food from supermarkets. It's
found that ordering takeout is five times more expensive. The difference is more obvious if you’re cooking for a family.
In terms of improving cooking skill, you can't help but improve if you do it over and over again. With so many
other outlets for hobbies shut down right now, why not view your kitchen as a mini universe to be explored? You've got
the tools, not to mention the human requirement to eat. I can't think of another hobby where your body physically
requires you to practice several times daily. 34 .
How does cooking relieve stress, you might be wondering? 35 . If you're organized enough to cook meals in
advance, you end the weeknight dilemma of “what's for dinner?”. Furthermore, as you get better at cooking, you will
spare the need to order food.
A. Cooking helps kids develop many hobbies.
B. Actually, cooking can bring more benefits.
C. The act itself can be calming to some people.
D. From a financial aspect, cooking cannot be beaten.
E.You can save money as well as improve your mental health.
F.If improving health is your main reason for cooking, you're not alone.
G.You're likely to improve your cooking skills and they will stick with you for life.
【答案】31. B 32. F 33. D 34. G 35. C

32. 下文“A recent survey has found that twice as many Americans are cooking at home than a year ago, and that nearly
a quarter are doing so in an effort to eat healthier.( 最近的一项调查发现，美国人在家做饭的人数是一年前的两倍，
近四分之一的人这样做是为了吃得更健康)”，F选项“如果改善健康是你做饭的主要原因，那你并不是一个人”
中的关键词“health”与下文意思相符，说明有很多人做饭的主要原因是改善健康，选项中的 you're not alone呼
应下文的twice as many Americans。故选F。
33. 设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“It's considerably cheaper than ordering from restaurants, or buying prepared
food from supermarkets.( 这比在餐馆点餐或在超市买准备好的食物便宜得多)”可知，本段主要从经济节约的方面

D。
34. 根据上文“In terms of improving cooking skill, you can't help but improve if you do it over and over again.( 在提
高烹饪水平方面，如果你一次又一次地做，你肯定会提高)”可知，G选项“你很可能会提升烹饪技能，而且这
种技能可以伴随你一生”符合文意，选项中的“improve your cooking skills”与上文“improving cooking skill”属
于同一话题，顺理成章。故选G。
35. 根据上文“How does cooking relieve stress, you might be wondering?( 你可能会想，烹饪是如何缓解压力的)”
可知，本段主要讨论烹饪和减轻压力之间的关系，故C选项“烹饪本身对某些人来说就是能令人平静的”符合
文意，选项中的关键词calming呼应上文的relieve stress，与上文提到的缓解压力属于同一话题。故选C。

How to Feel Connected
It's easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in today's fast-paced world. 36 . You can get in
touch and feel connected, however, by following the tips below:
Consider why you feel disconnected. Knowing what is making you feel disconnected can help you choose the best
ways to address it. 37 . Ask yourself these questions: Are you keeping yourself occupied with work too much? Do you
rely on electronic communication instead of face to face communication? Do you lack friendships that are satisfying?
Interact with people in person. Technology is a great way to stay in touch, but sometimes you need to spend time
with other people in person. 38 . You can also take steps to feel more connected by making small-talk with strangers
who are sharing parts of your day.
39 . Your loved ones could feel shy, so you may never know how to improve your relationship unless you ask the
right questions. Asking them to open the doors can give you some insight on what you can do. Learning this information
can help to strengthen your bond.Show your commitment to them. Simply showing up and being there for your loved ones says a lot about how much
you value your relationships. Putting in the time shows them that you are committed and want to stay connected. 40 .
Show appreciation. A simple “thank you” goes a very long way. Unfortunately, it is something that people who are
close often take for granted. Telling someone you appreciate their time, love, and efforts can strengthen your bond and
help you to become more connected.
A. Ask others what they need from you.
B. Sometimes you can feel isolated and distant from the ones you love.
C. Be brave to express your love.
D. Reach out to people to schedule a time to get together.
E.Attending family events, or simply visiting someone once a week can help to strengthen your relationship and keep it
strong.
F.Targeting your efforts toward those issues allows you to close that distance more effectively.
G.You can have a gift delivered to friends on special occasions.
