专题十一 阅读补全
Passage 1
Imagine you’re about to submit an application to your dream school and suddenly, your
heart starts pounding (狂跳): Did I make a wise decision choosing this major? 1 ? To
avoid this situation, follow these steps.
What subjects interest you? An automatic answer may be the subject in which you get the
highest score. 2 . If you had to take one class, what would it be? When you have free
time, what kinds of books will you pick up and read? Your answers may hint at what you’re
truly interested in.
3 . For example, artificial intelligence, biomedical science and mechanical engineering
are some of the most promising current majors.
Now take a closer look at the above two steps. For example, maybe you find yourself hooked
when you’re learning about computer science, and artificial intelligence appears to be of great
importance in the world as well. 4 . There may be a few, but don’t worry. We still have
one more step.
Check your dream school’s admission requirements. For example, I’ve been interested in both
psychology and education, but apparently psychology has higher requirements for admission.
5 .
Grab a pen and start creating your own desirable major.
A.No, think hard
B.Mark them both
C.What if I’m wrong
D.What about seeking advice from my parents
E.If you have many ideas in mind, list them all down
F.Comparatively speaking, education would be a smarter choice
G.Write down what you believe will be most in demand in the future

“artificial intelligence”两个专业,故选B。
5.F 细节句。F项中的“education”与上句中的“education”为词汇复现现象,并且比较
心理学与教育学这两个专业,smarter与上文higher相对应,故选F。
Passage 2
How to Inspire Yourself to Achieve Top Success
Often, many people rise to successful heights and fall, never to spring back up. 1
Here are a few ways to inspire yourself to achieve top success.
Be realistic about your goals. Many people accept goal-setting as one of the primary steps in
any successful journey. While goal-setting is the first step to success, doing it the wrong way
can set you several steps back and make your journey stressful. 2
3 Ideation (观念形成) involves the formation of new ideas and concepts and is an
essential process in finding new ways to complete your successful journey. The process
doesn’t end after dreaming of new ideas. Going further to write them down and brainstorming
can help you adjust them. Note that well—constructed ideas can make efforts more
manageable, especially when solving a problem. As experts always say, “Define the problem
well, and the solution will present itself.”
Know when to multitask and when to deep focus. It’s appealing to engage in multiple tasks to
get things done. 4 However, some tasks may require extreme focusing. Seasoned design
and writing professionals often take this approach. J.K. Rowling, for example, spends many
weeks away from regular life in writing her books.

your mind is blocked and tired. Meditation is a great way to regenerate and facilitate your
restoration process.

C.It pays to set realistic and measurable goals.
D.That’s the reason why we need to rise to success.

“Meditate(冥想)”为词汇复现现象。同时“the mind”也对应下文中的“your mind”。
Passage 3
Be a Green Guest
When people take a vacation, they often take vacation from responsibility, too. Our behavior
at hotels is one of the biggest problems. We have our linen(亚麻织品)washed daily for us,
and are provided with an endless stream of hot water—what’s not to love about that? But all
of this luxury equals serious consequences for the environment. 1 . They offer programs
第 3 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
and facilities that save water and energy. That’s a good start, but there is a lot more you can
do to cut down on the amount of waste produced everywhere.
• 2 .
In America alone, there are about 50,000 hotels. Now think if hotel management leaves out
two small bottles for each hotel room every day, that’s a huge amount of little plastic bottles
that may not even get recycled. And what about all of that shampoo when you don’t finish the
bottle? A better way is to bring your own shampoo from home.
•Turn off the lights.
You do it when you’re at home, right? Do it at the hotel, too. Studies have shown that, in
hotels, the majority of energy spent on lighting comes from the bathroom light being left on
for more than one hour! 3 , remember to hit the switch!
•Don’t have your sheets or towels washed every day.
Sure, it’s a luxury to have linen and towels cleaned every day, but that’s all it is. Washing a
set of bed sheets and a pair of bathroom towels requires about 12—16 gallons of water. See if
there is a policy on requesting that your towels and linen get washed weekly. In some hotels,
it’s as simple as hanging towels back up on a hook. 4 .
These tips are also useful for trips to a friend’s or a relative’s house. 5 . They will also
save your hosts a lot of money.
A.Think about bathroom facilities
B.Just say “no” to hotel shampoos
C.When you’re using the bathroom
D.After you’re done with your business
E.They will save plastic, water, and electricity
F.More and more hotels are becoming eco-friendly
G.In others, you may ask the front desk for a personal request
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章主要介绍如何在度假时做一个环保的人。
1.F 过渡句。下句(它们会提供节水、节能的项目和设施。)中的“They”指代
“hotels”(宾馆),故选F项(越来越多的宾馆变得环保了),另外“eco-friendly”呼应上句中
的“equals serious consequences for the environment”(意味着给环境带来严重后果)。
第 4 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
2.B 主旨句。根据上下文可知,设空处为主旨句且需用祈使句,故从A、B 两项中作出
选择。B项中的“shampoos”与下文出现的“shampoo”为词汇复现现象。
3.D 细节句。上文提到浴室灯不关常会超过一个小时,“当你做完自己的事情后,一定要
记得按下开关按钮”与上文衔接自然,故选D项。
4.G 细节句。上句中的“In some hotels”(在一些宾馆)对应G项中的“In others”(在另
一些宾馆)。
5.E 细节句。下句中的“They will also save”与E项中的“They will save”为句式和词
汇复现现象。
Passage 4
Boosting your emotional quotient, or EQ, involves identifying and managing your own
emotions, as well as evaluating and controlling the way in which you react to those of others.
1 It can also improve your relationships with loved ones and your social interactions. Here
are some tips you can use to start improving your EQ.
•Identify your emotions.
Identifying your emotions takes practice and is an important foundational step in building
emotional quotient. Regularly recognizing and naming your emotions throughout the day is a
good way to develop your EQ. 2 You could even go a step further, and try to determine
how the presence of certain emotions affects your behavior and productivity.
•Consider your response.
3 Taking responsibility for the way you behave towards others and, possibly even more
importantly, how you treat yourself, is a crucial aspect of emotional quotient.
• 4
Empathy is a cornerstone of EQ. It is defined as the ability to identify and share the thoughts,
feelings or emotional states of another person. A little empathy goes a long way. It is
important to demonstrate empathy towards people other than just those with whom you find it
easy to get along.
•Listen actively.
Engage in the moment and acknowledge what other people are saying. 5 Active
listening involves asking open-ended questions such as “When?” “How?” “Do you mean...?”
第 5 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
or “Could you tell me a bit more about that?”. Active listening also calls for avoiding
questions that would get only a “yes” or “no” response.
Developing your emotional quotient can not only help you reduce your stress, but also leave
you with more time to connect with, and continuously improve your relationships with, those
around you.
A.Show your care.
B.Put yourself in other people’s shoes.
C.You just don’t know what they might be going through.
D.You must remember you can choose how you react to a situation.
E.Besides, trying to identify exactly how you are feeling can do the trick.
F.Try to avoid just waiting for your turn to talk about yourself and your story.
G.Exploring and improving these skills can help you to succeed in your career.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章就如何提高情商提出了四点建议。
1.G 细节句。G项(探究并提高这些技能有助于你在事业上取得成功)与下句(它还可改
善……)为递进关系,都说明了发展这些技能的好处。
2.E 细节句。E项中的“identify exactly how you are feeling”与标题“Identify your
emotions.”为词汇复现现象,本段紧扣emotions,故选E项。
3.D 过渡句。D项(你必须记住你可以选择如何对一种情形作出反应)与小标题(考虑你
的反应)相对应,并承接下文。
4.B 主旨句。根据上下文可知,设空处为主旨句且需用祈使句,故从A、B 两项中作出
选择。B项(设身处地为他人着想)与设空处下句(共鸣是情商的基石)对应。
5.F 细节句。根据小标题(积极倾听)和设空处上句(参与到当下并认可其他人正在说的
话)可知,设空处应是积极倾听的具体做法。故选F项(尽量避免只是等待轮到你谈论你
自己和你的故事)。
Passage 5
Traffic congestion is a serious problem in cities worldwide. There are simply too many
vehicles competing for too little space. The company TomTom, which does research on
traffic in cities worldwide, estimated that in 2015 the average commuter wasted 100 hours
第 6 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
during the evening rush hour alone. In addition to wasting people’s time, traffic jams have
many other negative effects. 1 .
Traffic jams have negative effects on drivers, cities and the environment. To begin with, they
cause stress to drivers, which may lead to health problems or road rage. 2 . Traffic
congestion wastes fuel, which in turn produces more carbon dioxide through car exhaust and
contributes to the greenhouse effect.
3 , it is important for cities and governments everywhere to take steps to reduce road
congestion. The most obvious solutions involve engineering. This means building more roads
with wider lanes so that more cars can travel at the same time. However, the costs of
engineering solutions are extremely high.
Therefore, a more popular solution is needed. 4 . For example, ferries, cycles and
underground trains are included. One suggestion is to encourage people to cycle more.
Although cycling has obvious health benefits and does not pollute the air, it is not practical in
every climate and can prove dangerous in heavy traffic.
Overall, cities are using a variety of methods to tackle the problem of traffic congestion. 5
. We should encourage alternative forms of transport because they reduce the amount of
traffic on the roads and also have a positive effect on the environment.
A.Because of these serious effects
B.Owing to inconveniences for some people
C.It would be to promote other forms of transport
D.Another possibility is to persuade people to use buses
E.Most of them have advantages as well as disadvantages
F.Moreover, traffic congestion negatively affects the environment
G.Therefore, governments everywhere are working hard to find solutions to this problem
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了交通堵塞的不良影响以及应对方法。
1.G 细节句。上句(除了浪费人们的时间之外,交通堵塞还有许多其他不良影响。)与G
项(因此,各地政府正在努力寻求解决这个问题的方案)构成因果关系。
2.F 过渡句。F项中的“Moreover”对应上句中的“To begin with”,“negatively affects the
environment”对应下句中的“the greenhouse effect”,承上启下,过渡自然。
第 7 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
3.A 过渡句。A项中的“these serious effects”与上文中的“negative effects”相对应,并
与设空处后的内容(各地的城市与政府采取措施减少道路堵塞是很重要的)构成因果关系。
4.C 细节句。C项中的“other forms of transport”(其他交通形式)对应下句中的“ferries,
cycles and underground trains”(渡船、骑行、地铁)。
5.E 细节句。E项中的“them”代指上句中的“a variety of methods”。
Passage 6
How to Be a Good Upstairs Neighbor
One must remember to be polite when living in an apartment building. You may
unintentionally bother your neighbors with actions that you think to be harmless. 1
Living upstairs, you must always be aware that everything you do may be heard by those who
live below. This doesn’t mean that you have to completely change your lifestyle, though.
2 This will greatly reduce the sound of your footsteps, thus limiting the sound your
downstairs neighbor will hear. You should always remember to change your shoes when
entering your apartment to ensure that your downstairs neighbor doesn’t hear you walking
around.
Place carpets in your apartment if you have hardwood floors. Doing so is another way to
decrease the sound of steps coming from an upstairs apartment. You can also put your
furniture on these carpets. 3
Close your windows when you can. A floor is usually about three meters high, so it’s quite
easy to hear your conversations. 4 Therefore, whenever you are watching TV or
listening to a radio, try to keep your windows closed as much as possible.
Do your cleaning on weekend afternoons. 5 Doing such housework at 3:00 pm on a
Saturday is much better than doing so at 9:30 on a Tuesday night.
A.Wear slippers while in your upstairs apartment.
B.It becomes much easier when your windows are open.
C.No matter what you do, consider your neighbor’s requirements.
D.There’ll be a time when you will run a cleaner to clean your room.
E.This is especially true for those people who live above an apartment.
F.It will disturb your downstairs neighbor who has to work the next morning.
第 8 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
G.This keeps your furniture from moving around, thus limiting noise a downstairs neighbor
may hear.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章就如何成为一个不错的楼上邻居提出了四条建议。
1.E 过渡句。上句(你认为的无害的行为可能会无意中给你的邻居造成麻烦。)与E项
(对于生活在楼上的人来说尤为如此)对应。“live above an apartment”与下句中的
“Living upstairs”为词汇复现现象,过渡自然。
2.A 主旨句。根据上下文可知,设空处为主旨句且需用祈使句,故选A。下句中的

同时“It”指代上句中的“hear your conversations(听到你们的对话)”这件事。
5.D 细节句。D项“你会有一段使用吸尘器打扫房间的时间”对应小标题“在周末下
午打扫卫生”,并且下文中的“Doing such housework”就是指代“run a cleaner to clean
your room”这件事。
Passage 7
Good sportsmanship is one of the most important lessons that your kids can learn from
the competition. But how do you teach your kids good sportsmanship? Here are some tips.
Set a good example. The first role model that your kids will have in games is you. What
behavior you model will have the biggest influence on your kids. 1 By doing so, your
kids will learn from you unconsciously and gain more popularity.
2 The coach is always looking for the best decision for the good of the whole team. 3
Your kids may feel upset at first. But showing good sportsmanship means placing the team’s
needs above their own, so you should teach your kids to trust the coach’s judgement.
Remember you are the parent, not the coach. Your job as a parent is different from a job as a
coach. As a parent, you are there to guide all of your kids’ experiences and not focus on
demanding performance. However, if you see a coach demanding too much, speak up. 4
第 9 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Maintain a good attitude to both winning and losing. Good sportsmanship also requires a
positive attitude to both the victory and the defeat. Pushing your kids too hard may drive them
to quit. 5 It’s also a good idea to find positive plays to talk about and discuss lessons to
be learned after.
A.Teach your kids to put teams first.
B.Tell your kids to listen to the coach.
C.However, finding a good role model is not an easy job.
D.After all, you are also an advocate for your kids if needed.
E.This means the role of your kids may be reduced or changed.
F.You need to be nice to all people on the court, even the opponents.
G.Instead, whatever the results are, always tell them you are proud of them.

你的孩子的角色可能会被减少或改变)呼应,教练的决定让孩子难过,前后过渡自然。
4.D 细节句。上句(然而,如果你看到教练要求过于苛刻,要明确说出来。)与D项(毕竟,
如果需要的话,你也是孩子的拥护者)呼应,构成因果关系。
5.G 细节句。该段主旨为对赢和输都保持一个好态度,上句(把你的孩子逼得太紧可能
会驱使他们放弃。)与G项(相反,无论什么结果,都要告诉孩子你为他们骄傲)构成转折关
系。G项中的“them”指代上句中的“your kids”。
Passage 8
There are so many dogs who are stuck in shelters or in foster care(寄养照管)and that are
looking for a forever home.
Don’t Let Dogs Always Be Outside
第 10 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Owners should avoid leaving their dogs outside for all hours for several reasons. Staying out
in the sun for too long can cause them to get thirsty. 1 because it leaves them feeling
severely uncomfortable. A good fix is to install a dog door, so your dog can choose if they
want to be outside or inside.
Accept Their Personality Changes
Some dog owners may not realize that it’s common for dogs’ personalities to change over
time. They may have been a friendly, energetic puppy and grow up to be a shy dog who
doesn’t like being around others. 2 , avoid blaming them. Owners can’t change their dogs
overnight and it can sometimes be impossible to alter their personalities to make them
someone they’re not. 3 , and seek a professional to find out if it’s possible to avoid any
harmful behavior.
Try Not to Push Them over the Edge
Owners need to pay attention to signs their dogs may show if they are scared and take care of
the situation accordingly. 4 . Instances where this may occur are through training, being
around new people or animals, or going for a ride in the car.
Do Not Leave Your Dog in the Car
Dogs should never be left in the car alone, especially with the windows rolled up. 5 , he
will be charged with animal cruelty. This is because dogs can get sick and even suffer fatal
consequences due to being left in either a very hot or cold car. Animal safety experts
recommend taking action if you see an animal by itself in a car.
A.They are in some kind of trouble
B.It’s best to be patient with these changes
C.If their personality changes for the worse
D.Cold and rainy weather is not ideal for dogs
E.If the owner leaves pets unattended in a parked car
F.This means not pushing them over the edge if they aren’t ready
G.There’s a limit to how much time they should be spending outside
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。文章就如何照顾狗提出了四条建议。

unattended in a parked car”对应本段小标题,故选E。
Passage 9
How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are
people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. 1 Psychologists
call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental
mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people
from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on
problems that require thoughtful analysis. 2 In a quiz about US civics, they
overestimated the chance that their answers were right significantly more than other
participants did—even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping”? Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two
pathways of thought: the automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily,
spontaneously and without effort, and the controlled system including conscious and effortful
reasoning. The study found that jumpers and non-jumpers were equally influenced by
automatic thoughts. 3
It is the controlled system that helps people counterbalance mental biases introduced by the
automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at
first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking was also more broadly
connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
第 12 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
4 A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can
help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their
own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the
problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with
our gut is a frequent and important one. 5 Sometimes the most important decision we
make can be to take some more time before making a choice.
A.Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B.Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C.But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D.It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.
E.We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F.The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-
jumpers.
G.Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a
major mistake.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。一些人在做决定之前会跳过很多细节直接下结论,这种思
考方式是一种认知偏见。
1.C 此空在文章第一段,目的是引出本文重点讨论的对象jumpers,即跳过细节直接下结
论的人,这与设空处前一句提到的做决定前会认真思考每个细节的人,即下文中提到的
non-jumpers形成对比。
2.B 此段主要阐述jumpers的缺点,设空处前一句提到第一个缺点(出错更多),设空处后
一句阐述这些人自负的具体表现,所以设空处则是第二个缺点——自负
(overconfidence)。
3.F 此段提到了两种思考路径the automatic system和the controlled system。设空处前
一句针对jumpers和non-jumpers提到了他们与第一种思考路径的关系,那么设空处应该
还是针对这两种人,但提到的应该是第二种思考路径,F项满足这两个要求。
4.A 前文阐述了jumpers的缺点,本段则是提出用一种训练方法可以针对这些偏见训练
jumpers,也就是说jumpers也是有希望的,所以选A。
第 13 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
5.G 此段为总结段落,设空处后一句再次提出在做重要决定前要花点时间去思考,所以
设空处也是在提醒为避免出现重大错误,做决定前应该多收集些证据,这与首段中提到的
认真思考每个细节(go over every detail)相呼应。
Passage 10
The Truth about Your Memory
What would you be without your memories? How important is your ability to remember the
past and to draw on it to help you know what to do next? I’ll answer for you: It’s right up
there with breathing and eating. 1
However, most people know little about memory. A study by research psychologists Daniel
Simons and Christopher Chabris asked people simple questions about memory and then
compared their answers with those of experts in memory research. 2 For instance, to the
question “Is there a ‘video camera’ in your head?”, 63% of people surveyed strongly agreed
or mostly agreed that human memory “works like a video camera, accurately recording the
events we see and hear so that we can review and inspect them later”. None of the experts
strongly agreed or mostly agreed that memory functions like that.
So how does memory work? 3 He means well and wants to help, but the best he can do
is tell you stories. And like all good storytellers, he edits for impact, efficiency, functionality,
and clarity. He tells you what he assumes you need to know. He also makes honest mistakes
—lots and lots of them. Sometimes he just gets confused and leaves out something important.
He could even include inaccurate information by accident.
In other words, there is no consistent or orderly sense to memory. A memory will be hidden
away and connected to other memories or concepts in ways that are not necessarily practical
or logical. 4 Memories come to us in a way that is similar to how archaeologists and
police detectives use bits of information to construct stories about past people and events.
5 Fortunately, enough has been revealed to offer us wise and safe guidance through
daily life. Your memory is best thought of as helpful input. We don’t need to remember every
detail about everything.
A.The researchers had a very tough time understanding human memories.
B.The human brain is still a mysterious universe in many ways, of course.
第 14 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.A study shows recalling the past can change the memory of what really happened.
D.The results show how far removed from reality the public’s beliefs about memory are.
E.One would think that understanding how memory works would be a high priority for all
people.
F.I prefer to describe it as something like an old man sitting by a campfire somewhere deep in
your brain.
G.This is why a particular smell or sound may bring up a memory even though it wasn’t
important in the original experience.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。本文阐述了记忆的真相。
1.E 由第二段首句中的However可知,该句与设空处为转折关系。可能人们认为了解我
们的记忆是如何工作对所有人来说是尤为重要的一件事,但其实大部分人对记忆知之甚
少。
2.D 设空处后的For instance在提示后面的例子是对设空处的论述进行解释说明,而此
段的第一句已经亮明主旨,即大部分人对记忆并不了解,所以设空处再次表明人们对记忆
的认知与记忆的真实情况相去甚远。
3.F 设空处后一句中的主语是He,但设空处前一句中并没有提到这个人,这就说明我们
要从选项中找到这个人,即F项中出现的an old man。
4.G 设空处前一句提到记忆将被隐藏起来,并以不一定实用或合乎逻辑的方式与其他记
忆或概念连接起来。“不一定实用或合乎逻辑的方式”指的就是G项中出现的一种特
殊的气味或声音(a particular smell or sound),它们虽然看似不重要,但是能唤起记忆。
5.B 本文探究记忆的真相就是在探究人类的大脑,设空处后提到的“已透露足够多了
(enough has been revealed)”,指的也是探索人类大脑的成果,B项中出现的The human
brain与之呼应。
Passage 11
When you’re behind the wheel, distractions(分心的事物) cost lives. Nevertheless,
drivers take selfies, and respond to text messages. 1
第 15 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Smartphones are often at the root of these tragedies. As Big Tech sets its sights on modern
vehicles, it’s appropriate to ask if it’s time to limit attention-stealing technology that distracts
the driver.
Big Tech wants to take on the automotive industry. And it is good at grabbing both attention
and information from users. At first, the goal of these technology companies was to give away
services at no cost, simply to attract a customer base. 2 Their increasing thirst for
valuable user information has led them to the automotive industry, where a whole new world
of data awaits. Location data, frequent destinations, passenger preferences—such data is
found in family cars. 3
Mobile tech is walled off from vehicle operating systems by software that keeps infotainment
(information and entertainment) features away from the mission-critical driving electronics. If
auto makers give up their core operating system to tech powerhouses, they will essentially
become hardware suppliers to Silicon Valley.
4 Their responsibility is to focus attention on the road, providing vehicle information
and a small amount of entertainment options while getting passengers from place to place as
safely as possible. Smartphone makers and digital-media providers don’t have this priority.
They want eyes on their products, not on the road.
With electric vehicles transforming the auto industry, and artificial intelligence more common
than ever, we’re at a dangerous moment. 5 Because their hardware is wrapped around
families, they have a duty to keep them safe. The only way they can do that is to maintain
control of the driver’s seat.
The quality, safety and security will make or break trust in auto makers. Without it, cars will
be simply one more intrusive and risky mobile device.
A.Car companies have priorities opposed to those of Big Tech.
B.Now they exist to sell information about their users to advertisers.
C.They enjoy the convenience and fun brought by modern technology.
D.Car makers are, and should be, the most trusted technology companies in the world.
E.Currently video-streaming services are starting to be built into car operating systems.
F.And operating systems and autonomous-driving software are all gateways to this
information.

G.Statistics show that an average of eight people a day die in accidents caused by distracted
driving.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为论说文。汽车制造业要在道路安全方面占主导地位,不能被移动技
术围堵。
1.G 本段第一句话指出开车时分心会付出生命的代价,第二段首句中的these
tragedies(这些悲剧)指交通事故中造成的死亡,G项中的die in accidents和distracted
driving与之呼应。
2.B 设空处及前后句都是在说科技公司的目的——获取使用者的注意力和信息。前一
句提出它们先是免费为使用者提供服务,设空处接着阐述这些公司获取信息后再把使用
者的信息卖给广告商。
3.F 设空处前提到科技公司想要得到使用者的信息,诸如位置数据、经常去的地方或是
喜好,这些信息会从家庭用车中获取。F项中提到获得这类信息的途径就是汽车内的操
作系统和自动驾驶软件,而下一段中也提到了操作系统,与之呼应。
4.A 本段将汽车公司与大型科技公司进行对比,汽车公司的责任是确保行车安全,而手
机制造商和数字媒体供应商不是,所以它们之间是对立的,故选A项。
5.D 设空处与后面一句为因果关系,从Because引出的原因中可以看出their指汽车制造
商,它们的职责让它们肩负着成为最受信任的科技公司的责任,故选D项。
Passage 12
Pets are like our family members and their good health is something that is very
important to all pet owners. Just as the pollutants, such as carbon monoxide(一氧化碳)and
carbon dioxide in the air, affect our health, these same environmental nasties can affect our
pets too.
1 57% of dogs exposed to higher pollution levels developed brain diseases and showed
signs of neuro-problems. In a more recent study from the Journal of Veterinary Internal
Medicine, researchers found that cats with breathing problems were more likely to live in
households with higher indoor air pollution.
Air purifiers have been brought into use in recent years. They work to remove harmful
chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other environmental pollutants

from the air. 2 But are they safe for pets? How can we ensure that they aren’t harming
our furry friends?
3 The physical safety of using a mechanical device around pets is what we have to pay
attention to. Air purifiers come in various shapes and sizes, from small desktop units to large,
free-standing models. In terms of physical harm, there is an existing risk of our pet becoming
trapped in the electrical wire of our air purifier. Air purifiers are designed to be used in the
home around children and their internal mechanisms should also be safe for small tails of our
pets and other parts of their bodies. 4
Whether the air purifier improves or damages the health of our animals is also something we
have to consider. The air purifiers are safe for pets, but only if they do not produce any
ozone(臭氧)byproduct. 5 We should always stay away from the ones that produce even
minimal quantities. We are always on the safe side by picking a standard air purifier with the
classic 3-stage filtration(过滤)system of a pre-filter, HEPA filter and activated carbon filter.
Picking the wrong air purifier type can quickly make things worse for our pets. On the other
hand, picking the correct air purifier can lead to a big increase in the quality of life for them.
A.At present many homes are equipped with these useful devices.
B.Before buying an air purifier, we should keep two aspects in mind.
C.Pet owners always pay close attention to the physical health of their pets.
D.Even the smallest pets shouldn’t be able to access the insides of air purifiers.
E.This greatly depends on the type of air purifier and air cleaning technology used.
F.So always check the product specifications and try to find a model that does not produce
any carbon monoxide.
G.A 2008 study published in Brain and Cognition showed that dogs’ brains were negatively
affected by the high pollution levels.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。空气净化器有可能对宠物的健康不利。
1.G 设空处后一句中的dogs和brain diseases与G项中的dogs’ brains呼应。
2.A A项中的these useful devices指的是此段第一句中的空气净化器(Air purifiers),设空
处后引出担忧,即本文主旨——空气净化器对于宠物来说是否安全。
第 18 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
3.B 此空为总领句,提醒读者买空气净化器之前要谨记两件事:第一(本段),不要因为空
气净化器的构造而伤害到宠物;第二(下段),不要让空气净化器产生的一些物质伤害到宠
物。
4.D 本段提醒不要因为空气净化器的构造伤害到宠物,设空处前一句中出现internal
mechanisms(内部构造),与D项中的the insides of air purifiers呼应。
5.E 设空处前提到空气净化器对宠物不造成伤害的前提是不会产生臭氧副产品,这在很
大程度上取决于空气净化器的类型和使用的空气净化技术(E项),E项中的代词This指不
产生臭氧副产品这一特征。
Passage 13 话题:科学研究 难度:中
Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park. A small psychology study
suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. 1
It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may
potentially reduce cognitive(认知的) tiredness and improve reaction time straight away. 2
The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and
cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion
control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their
natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city
scene. 3 On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more
uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load.
4 In the trial, participants were asked to distinguish between basic visual shapes on the
computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image(the same ones from the first
experiment).
Measuring reaction time in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support
their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple
shapes. 5 Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove
that idea.
A.Nature influences us in many ways.
B.The second dug into some higher-level cognitive processes.
C.A walk through nature does the opposite, though.
第 19 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
D.They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking.
E.After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort.
F.The reason is that urban environments are more distracting.
G.The study includes two experiments with two different approaches.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章说明了城市环境和自然环境对人们认知和心理的不同影响。
1.C 过渡句。本段第一句提到在城里散步不同于在公园里散步,接着介绍了在城里散步
的研究结果,那么接下来应该介绍在公园里散步的情况,进行对比。这与C项中的“A
walk through nature”一致。
2.G 过渡句。上文介绍了一个研究指出在城里散步和在自然环境中散步的不同,又根据
第二段首句中的“The first of the two experiments”可知,此处应表示这个研究包括两个实
验,这与G项中“two experiments with two different approaches”一致。
3.E 细节句。根据空格后“people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they
walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load”可推断参与者被要求评估他们
在两种环境下不舒适的程度,这与E项中的“to rate their discomfort”一致。
4.B 主旨句。根据第一段段尾和第二段段首“The first of the two experiments in the new
study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load.”对两个实验的提及可以推断
出这里讲的是第二个实验,B项中的“higher-level cognitive processes”是解题的关键,和第
一个实验形成递进关系。
5.F 细节句。空格前提到参与者在城市环境中区分简单形状更缓慢,空格后提到“Our
brains take longer to process.”,由此可推断空格处应介绍区分形状缓慢的原因,故选F项。
Passage 14话题:个人情绪 难度:中
What makes you cry?Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting
emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. 1
When you think about it, shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or
confusion. But it seems to be an automatic response when we get sad or upset. 2
However, the feeling is the same—your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before you
know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some of us may weep a little while others might
cry like a baby.
第 20 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A study in the UK found that women admitted they cried about 72 times a year. This was, on
average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been
pretty much consistent with previous research. 3 Are they just more embarrassed about
showing their true feelings?The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace. 4
Someone might be stressed with a heavy workload. And, as therapist Joanna Cross puts
it,“Crying is often a build-up of frustration(沮丧) and insoluble situations and it’s a bit of a
final straw(稻草)moment.”She describes how someone might start weeping when they’re just
asked to make a cup of tea. Actually, their stress has accumulated to the breaking point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. It can actually make
you feel better. 5 Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying
shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A.Then how do we cope with it?
B.This can be where emotions run high.
C.People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D.We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?
E.Maybe it eases or clears the negative feelings you’ve had.
F.What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G.But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women?
答案
[语篇解读] 文章主要介绍了哭泣是人们的正常反应,还指出了哭泣可以给人们带来好
处。
1.D 细节句。设空前一句讲到人们哭泣的不同缘由,而设空后一句的代词it指代哭泣,
提及了哭泣会引起尴尬或困惑,因此得知此处是在思考哭泣是好是坏。
2.F 细节句。根据设空前一句中的“an automatic response”可判断,F选项中的“this
reaction”与之相呼应,指代同一个内容;F选项中的“differs”与空后的“same”形成鲜明的
对比,上下文衔接合理。
3.G 细节句。设空前讲到女性一年中哭泣次数与男性哭泣次数对比的情况,设空处后的
句子为疑问句,由此可知此处在就男女哭泣次数对比结果的原因进行思考,G符合语境。
第 21 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
4.B 细节句。上文提到情绪爆发的地方之一就是工作场所,因此该空应该指的还是与工
作场所相关的内容,前后顺承。
5.E 细节句。本段中心句为第一句,即哭泣的好处。设空前一句在围绕该中心句展开,
且有“It”指代哭泣,与E选项构成了递进关系。
Passage 15 话题:生活与学习 难度:中
Being independent is an important skill for people who want to take control of their
lives. Here are some tips on how to be independent.
Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, then who else will? 1 No one can
speak the words on your lips and not everyone is going to agree with what you say. 2 If
you don’t have faith in yourself, you will always doubt yourself and turn to others for help
every time you have to make a decision. Try to move away from that.
3 Our parents care for us so much that they do everything in their power to raise us in a
fair and just environment. But the real world does not follow the same principle. You might
be treated badly for all sorts of unfair things: your skin color, your height, your weight, how
much money you have, and just about everything else that makes you who you are. 4
Stop caring about what other people think. This is the most important thing about being
independent. Stop worrying about other people’s opinions about your life, whether they are
thinking about your clothes, your choice of career, or your choice of the significant other. 5
If you always have the worrying thought, “But what will other people think if...” in the back
of your mind, then you will always be holding yourself back from doing your own thing.
A.Be your own hero.
B.Accept that life is not fair.
C.These are your decisions, and not anyone else’s.
D.As long as you have made a decision—just do it!
E.We are all different and have something unique to say.
F.So please remember: You have to be happy in spite of that.
G.Believing in yourself will make you trust your own decisions.

3.B 主旨句。根据下文“But the real world does not follow the same principle.”可知本段
强调要接受现实世界的生活是不公平的。
4.F 细节句。上文提到了你可能会因为各种各样不公平的事情而受到恶劣的对待,设空
处可能提到面对这些不公平的事情要保持积极的生活态度,这与F项内容相符。
5.C 总结句。根据上文“Stop worrying about other people’s opinions about your life,
whether they are thinking about your clothes, your choice of career, or your choice of the
significant other.”以及本段第一句“Stop caring about what other people think.”可知,设空
处强调了不要在意别人的看法,要自己做决定。
Passage 16 话题:生活与学习 难度:中
Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule
our lives forever. One day or another, you’ll have to stand up and say, “Problems, I don’t
want you in my life.” Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born.
Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on. 1
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your
problems.
Talking really helps. What most of us think is that our problems can be understood only by
ourselves and that no talking is going to help. But the truth is that when you talk about it,
you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. 2
Write down your problems. Having a personal diary can also be of great help if you don’t
want a real person to talk with. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all
the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your
problems. 3

Don’t lose faith or hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith or hope. 4 With
faith, hope and confidence, you can rebuild everything that you lose.
5 No matter what problem you get in life, there are another one million people whose
problems are bigger than yours. Tell yourself: When they can deal with them, why can’t I?
Your problems might just seem bigger and worse, but in reality they can be solved.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has
a way out.
A.Your problems aren’t the worst.
B.Talking helps you move on and let go.
C.When we have a problem, how do we try and solve it?
D.Even if you lose all you have,you should still have confidence.
E.Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work,too.
F.By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
G.We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.

Starting a new training program, like most things, is stepping into an unfamiliar area. 1
Most people start out too hard, which leads to unnecessary tiredness and possible injury;or
they just burn out, feeling that the last thing they want to do is go out for another heavy,
painful run. Getting past that early period is the key to both running’s benefits and pleasures.
2 You may want to start running to make your heart stronger, to up your endurance for
other sports, or even just to fit into your tux(晚礼服)again. Those are all worthy goals and
setting them is a valuable aid to getting where you want to go.
If you like a challenge, your goal might be running the local 5K, or something more
ambitious, like finishing a Tough Mudder obstacle run or qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
A typical beginner who trains properly—without overdoing it—can safely finish a 5K after
about three months. 3
Whatever you decide to aim for, committing to it will help your progress greatly. 4
While a short, easy run a few times a week is better than nothing, it’s not nearly as exciting as
looking up at—then reaching—the next level.
Then don’t get ahead of yourself. 5 And gradually you can become a good run
beginner.
A.Figure out why you’re running.
B.The new training program will pay off.
C.And it is possible for a marathon after a year.
D.Otherwise you tend to make no further progress.
E.That is a remarkable achievement for a run beginner.
F.You should resist the urge to run too hard, too much, or too often.
G.You’re eager but unsure, excited but potentially easy to make errors.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章给了跑步初学者一些建议。
1.G 过渡句。根据上文“Starting a new training program, like most things, is stepping into

can become a good run beginner.”可推断设空处内容应为你应该怎么做,这与F项相符。
Passage 18 话题:生活与学习 难度:中
If you’ve been feeling a lot sleepy in your daily life, here are some tips for picking up
your energy levels. But first, you should make sure if you’re experiencing some serious
illnesses. 1 , keep these tips in mind.
The first recommendation is to exercise. Although it may seem difficult to work out when
you’re tired, it turns out that physical activity can actually give you more energy. The second
thing to work on is to go to sleep early enough to get a full night’s sleep, preferably so that
you wake up naturally without the need for your alarm.
2 . Thus, another useful tip is to take a nap during the afternoon. Naps can restore your
mind and body without taking up too much time, regaining your energy and raising working
efficiency. The best length of time for a nap is about 20 minutes. Shorter, and you won’t get
much out of it. 3 .
4 . Drinking plenty of water and other fluids throughout the day is one important way to
stay energized, since dehydration (脱水)leaves us in low spirits. Some experts say that eating
smaller meals more often throughout the day can help maintain energy and balance blood
sugar levels. Be aware that people who are overweight are more likely to experience tiredness
easily. 5 , reducing extra weight could help you gain more energy.
A.If you’re overweight
B.If you feel uncomfortable

F.If you’re otherwise healthy but just need some extra energy
G.Other ways to increase energy involve our diet and consumption
答案
[语篇解读] 文章介绍了人们在日常生活中应对疲劳的几种方式。
1.F 过渡句。根据空前“But first, you should make sure if you’re experiencing some
serious illnesses.”和空后“keep these tips in mind”可推断设空处内容应该为如果身体健
康但需要补充能量,F项能够承上启下。
2.D 过渡句。设空处前讲到早点睡觉,这样可以睡一整晚,最好自然醒来而不需要闹钟,
设空处后提到另一个有用的建议是在下午小睡一会儿。由此推断早点睡觉可能很难实
现。
3.E 细节句。根据空前“The best length of time for a nap is about 20 minutes. Shorter,
and you won’t get much out of it.”可知,E项能够承接上文。选项与前一句的句式结构是
相似的。
4.G 主旨句。根据空后“Drinking plenty of water and other fluids throughout the day is
one important way to stay energized, since dehydration leaves us in low spirits.”可知,G项能
够与下文连接通顺。后文的water和meals是对选项的具体举例。
5.A 细节句。根据空前“Be aware that people who are overweight are more likely to
experience tiredness easily.”可知,A项能够承接上文。选项中的overweight 与逗号后的
extra weight 相呼应。

By turning off your devices it would focus the atmosphere more on your bonding. Everyone
could feel more welcomed and invited. 2
So what are the alternatives other than staring at the screen? Before the trend of high-tech
devices, a board game had always been the source of entertainment when a group of friends
wanted to have some fun. 3 Though they have digital versions you might not want to
miss the opportunity to actually interact (互动)with your friends face to face.
Another helpful way to start a conversation with your friends is through playing question
games. 4 But don’t worry. There are many different versions of question games you can
search online.
5 While it is important to enjoy your get-together, going into a purposeful conversation
is also necessary. You don’t know what your friends are going through, and making room for
a heart-to-heart talk might be what they need.
A.It is better for you all to agree on this matter.
B.So why not bring these classic activities back?
C.You and your friends could attend more to each other.
D.Being interactive is the key to bonding with your friends.
E.Turning off your devices could be the first step you can do.
F.Entertainment isn’t the only way to interact with your friends.
G.The main idea of this kind of game is to take turns in involvement.
答案
[语篇解读] 当和家人朋友聚会时,人们总是痴迷于手机。文章给出了一些方法,不使用

3.B 过渡句。根据上文“Before the trend of high-tech devices, a board game had always
been the source of entertainment when a group of friends wanted to have some fun”可知,以
前的有些活动也会让朋友们玩得高兴,B项的“these classic activities”与之相符。
4.G 过渡句。上文“Another helpful way to start a conversation with your friends is
through playing question games.”说到了问问题游戏,这种游戏应是轮流参与,G项中的
“take turns in involvement”与之相符。
5.F 主旨句。根据下文“While it is important to enjoy your get-together, going into a
purposeful conversation is also necessary.”可知,聚会时娱乐固然重要,有目的的谈话也是必
需的,因此推断空格处说的是娱乐,F项中的“Entertainment”与之相符。

● Accept responsibility for your actions.
You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional (故意的) or
unintentional. 2 Failing to accept responsibility may seem like a good idea at the time,
but in the long term it will not benefit you. For example, if you accidentally back into your
neighbor’s car, let them know by writing them a note or knocking on their door. Then, correct
your mistake by paying for the damage.
● Show people respect.
Respect your partner, family members, friends, and strangers. 3 As you grow up and
mature, you should understand the concept of respect and why it is important. Showing
respect for others will also bring you more respect.
● 4
When you are faced with a conflict, it is important to keep your emotions in check. Control
your anger and avoid becoming aggressive. Take a deep breath, listen, and work through the
conflict with the other individual. Give yourself time to cool down if you are really angry.
This will prevent you from saying and doing things that you shouldn’t say or do in the heat of
the moment.
● Receive feedback (反馈) positively.

Passage 21 话题:重新装修 难度:中
If you are thinking about redecorating the home, you are probably searching about
interior (内部的) decoration ideas. Redecorating presents a great chance to reflect your
personality by displaying your style and interest. It will be easy to redecorate the home if
money is not a restriction. 1 Here are some tips on how to do so:
Search some magazines. You can get dozens of interior decoration ideas from countless
magazines and TV programs. Some programs tend to show less costly interior decoration
第 30 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
ideas. 2 It’s a good way of comparing different styles. Here you can make a distinction
between the country style and the contemporary style.
Fond of primitive style.If you are fond of primitive or traditional style, warmer colors are the
best for the room. These colors go with all kinds of cloth of old style and wooden furniture.
3
Modern style. If you like modern style, use brighter colors instead of white and off-white.
Home decoration of these styles includes minimum disorder and a lot of free space and light.
Leather furniture matches the room: white or black with contrasting cushions(靠垫) per
seating place. 4
5 This often occurs anyway, especially if the people give you furniture or you inherit
(继承 )the same. If you wish to combine different pieces of furniture from different styles,
you need to bridge the gap between them. This can be done easily with materials like throw
pillows, wall hangings and carpets.
A.A white one on a black sofa suits here.
B.There is nothing wrong in mixing two styles.
C.Another effective and affordable option is by surfing the Internet.
D.The combinations and possibilities in the first decoration are endless.
E.Autumn colors go well to produce a warm, friendly and pleasant atmosphere.
F.Nevertheless, the question for most is how to redecorate the home within limited budget.
G.The walls tend to have one or two pieces of wall art rather than 6 to 10 of the older time.

Passage 22 话题:饮食与健康 难度:中
A Diet Without Enough Protein Can
Cause Depression
Depression is a condition so common. 1 The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it
“a leading cause of disability”. Difficulty in falling asleep, loss of appetite, and loss of ability
to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression. While life events such as the
loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within,
such as people’s diet.
As is reported, both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition
show a “poor appetite”. 2 On the other hand, depression may be closely related to
protein. Many cases of depression happen to those who don’t eat properly, which then results
in lack of protein taken into the body.
3 It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids. Both
the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from
one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another. With them communication between the
cells becomes possible.
4 But eight of them, the “essential” ones for communication between the brain cells,
must be eaten in one’s diet. So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent
from one brain cell to the next during a thought. The process can lead to twisted signals,
which can not only lead to depression, but also aggression. 5
A.It happens with aggression.
B.It may lead to serious effects.
C.But how lack of protein occurs?
D.There are 20 different amino acids.
E.But what does protein have to do with depression?
第 32 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
F.The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.
G.This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章介绍了饮食中缺乏足够的蛋白质会导致抑郁。
1.B 过渡句。根据下文世界卫生组织(WHO)称其为“导致残疾的主要原因”可知设空
处应指出抑郁的危害,故B项切题。
2.F 细节句。根据上文在抑郁症发生之前和发生期间,这些人都表现出“食欲不振”可
知设空处应指出“食欲不振”的危害,故F项切题。
3.E 过渡句。根据下文“一切都归结于氨基酸。”可知设空处应指出蛋白质和抑郁的
关系,故E项起到承上启下的作用。
4.D 细节句。根据下文可知,其中的八种必须在个人饮食中获取。故设空处应指出氨基
酸的种类,D项切题。下文中的But起转折作用,连接上下文。
5.G 总结句。上文提到“这个过程会导致信号扭曲,信号扭曲不仅会导致抑郁,还会导
致攻击性。”设空处承接上文,G项切题。
Passage 23话题:宾馆叫醒服务 难度:中
The Hotel Wake-up Call Gets Personal
Here’s a wake-up call:The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the
morning. They’ll send an actual human being to your room. Don’t worry. They won’t come in
and kiss you good morning. 1
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. 2
Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will
send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your
room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person
rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. 3
Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. 4 If you don’t get your call within
five minutes of the requested time, you won’t have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still
want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that
53% considered a wake-up call very important.
第 33 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
5 In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you’d get was a ring and
silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now
getting creative with the wake-up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices.
And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake-up calls.
A.But they might bring you coffee.
B.If you don’t answer, you’ll get a wake-up knock.
C.Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee.
D.But the wake-up call became less personal over the years.
E.The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake-up calls each day.
F.The human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest’s stay.
G.Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.
答案

格处应给出是哪里的宾馆做出了这样的承诺。
5.D 细节句。空格后介绍了在20世纪80年代,宾馆开始使用自动叫醒系统,由此推知
宾馆的叫醒服务变得越来越没有人情味。
Passage 24 话题:兴趣爱好 难度:易
Jones fell in love with flying after going out in his uncle’s small airplane. He adored it so
much that he’d planned to become a pilot when he grew up. But his hopes were dashed when
he was diagnosed with epilepsy(癫痫)at age 12. 1
Years later, after skydiving with an instructor in Europe, he went crazy about the sport. Free-
falling through the sky was exciting, almost like flying. He was hooked on it. 2 But Jones
第 34 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
hadn’t had a seizure(发作)in more than six years,so his doctor gave him a letter stating that he
was fit to sign up for lessons.
3 Other staffers agreed. So today, at last, he’s about to step out of an airplane by
himself. All told, the jump should take about two minutes, from leaving the shelter of the
airplane to landing on the ground some 12,000 feet, or two miles, below. This is how it
goes:
As Jones prepares to jump, he nearly slips out of the airplane. That’s a bit messy, thinks
instructor McFarlane, though this kind of mistake is not unusual for first timers. 4 He
shouts to McFarlane,“Up! Down! Hard arch!” which means “Ready, set, go!” and jumps out
of the airplane.
Jumping just seconds behind Jones, McFarlane reaches him and is relieved to see that he has
recovered from his clumsy exit and is free-falling in the perfect “box man” position: belly to
the ground, his body arches upward with arms and legs spread for stability and control. 5
He flashes a thumbs-up.
A.So far, so good, thinks McFarlane.
B.“A star pupil,” one of the instructors called Jones.
C.As a rule, epileptics aren’t allowed to skydive alone.
D.Jones continues to fall,spinning helplessly.
E.Still, McFarlane decides to skydive again to try to reach Jones.
F.Jones immediately catches his balance and arches his back into the jump position.
G.Doctors told him that his condition would prevent him from ever obtaining a pilot’s license.
答案

可推断出他对Jones的表现给予了肯定,A选项与设空后句相呼应。
Passage 25话题:积极的生活态度 难度:易
Recently, I found myself anxious, mostly due to my repetitive schoolwork and staying
indoors over the past months. Then spring break came around. 1 My parents suggested
a three-day camping trip to California’s scenic coast.
Climbing into my father’s favorite pickup truck supplied with sleeping bags, tents and food,
my parents and I left for the Morro Bay State Park Campground. 2 We reached our
camping destination in the early evening.
I took a moment to take in the sound of the nearby waves breaking on the shore, while the
salty breeze in the cool air added to the sense of peace.My parents unloaded our equipment
from the truck. I began putting up the tents while my parents started a fire.
3 So tent set-up and preparation were almost second nature to me. I put up two tents in
only 20 minutes. We placed the Dutch oven directly over the open fire. Then, I put the
diced(切丁的) beef in the hot Dutch oven, roasting the pieces until they were browned on all
sides. I added water and different ingredients. Finally, our favorite traditional beef was
prepared. 4
Dinner, of course, was delicious. Afterwards, my parents enjoyed a walk on the beach as I
returned to my tent and quickly fell asleep. 5 I now feel optimistic and confident. No
matter how the world changes, sunshine and fresh air will always fix my troubles.
A.I had had much experience outdoors.
B.We drove north on California’s iconic freeway.
C.Food should be the kinds that would not spoil easily.
D.There were tents that could be opened up like umbrellas.
E.I told my parents how a new adventure could be just what I needed.
F.Our three-day stay at the campground was just what I needed to recharge.

Passage 26 话题:感悟生活 难度:易
I spent my most influential 10 months of my life as a junior. 1 There I attended a
local poorly-equipped school. Every day,I struggled to fit in the new social environment,but
still experienced so many blows. I suffered from racial differences. Besides the heavily
polluted air sometimes almost choked me to death. 2 However,I was convinced that I
could challenge myself and make a difference.
During the summer vacation I decided to be a volunteer at an Easter Seals camp where people
with special needs required assistance because of disabilities and improved their ability to do
things on their own. 3 but the most rewarding. I felt relieved that with my help altogether
more than 950 campers gained independence.
I often watched dozens of abandoned animals starving on the streets. I felt sad for homeless
dogs and wanted to help them all. Over the course of ten months,I provided about 50 stray
animals with food,water,and even medical care with money from my pocket and found homes
for 20—30 dogs! 4
As the new school year began,our department had a renovation(翻修). I offered to help clean
up all the unwanted books. Instead of recycling hundreds of those books, I convinced the
第 37 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版

Passage 27话题:社会交往 难度:中
1 One day, when I was perhaps six years old, I was walking with my father on a
crowded street. All of a sudden, the normal flow of pedestrian traffic backed up as people
tried to avoid a large object on the sidewalk. To my astonishment, the object turned out to be
a human being, a man lying unconscious against a building. 2 Certainly no one made
eye contact. As we walked by, my father—the model of a loving, caring gentleman—pointed
to a bottle in a paper bag and told me that the poor soul on the sidewalk just needed to sleep it

off. Then the drunken man began to murmur senselessly. My father warned me not to go near,
saying “You never know how he’ll react.”
3 I had spent the previous 12 months traveling in poor Asian cities, but even by those
standards this was a scene of misery. In addition to being desperately poor, the locals had to
live in the extremely hot climate, ridiculously huge crowds and a fairly strong wind blowing
dust everywhere. Suddenly a man carrying a huge bag of peanuts called out in pain and fell to
the ground. 4 A half dozen sellers ran from their stands to help, leaving unattended
what might have been the totality of their possessions. One put a blanket under the man’s
head; another opened his shirt; a third questioned him carefully about the pain; a fourth
fetched water; a fifth kept onlookers from crowding around too closely; a sixth ran for help.
5 The performance could have passed for a final exam at a paramedic (护理人员)school.
A.I then witnessed an astonishing scene.
B.Not one of the passers-by seemed to notice that it was a man.
C.This was totally different from the bitter experience I had in New York.
D.Within minutes, a doctor arrived, and two other locals joined in assisting.
E.I soon came to see that day’s lesson as basic knowledge for a New Yorker.
F.I’ll always remember the lesson that I learned as a boy growing up in New York City.

Passage 28 话题:“悠得人”群体 难度:难
The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the “yold”, or the “young old”,as
the Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75, who continue to work and stay socially
engaged. 1 The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous
generations of seniors.
2 Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy(预期寿命)in rich countries between 2000
and 2015, says WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is one of the factors
that are helping people stay healthy longer. A German study found that people who remain at
work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive (认知的)decline. The yold
are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declines.
The yold are not just any group of old people. They are challenging the traditional
expectations of the retired. They are not people who are wearing slippers and look after the
grandchildren. 3 They become one of the fastest growing groups for airline business. They
spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than young adults. So they are vital to the
tourism industry. They are also changing education and finance. Because of the importance of
pensions, the yold are transforming insurance companies from passive distributors of fixed
annuities (年金)to financial service providers for customers who want to manage their
pension pots more actively.
4 They find that older workers have, if anything, slightly above-average productivity and
that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all. Societies
should be better off because public spending on health and pensions should be lower than
expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.
Today, some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The
most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that
60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background. 5 The yold will demand that
companies become more age-friendly and, in the process, help change attitudes towards aging
itself.
第 40 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A.Healthy yold people will require great changes in health spending.
B.Many companies discriminate against older workers by offering training only to younger
ones.
C.The rise of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.
D.Health worsens with age, but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.
E.Many bosses think productivity falls with age, but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.
F.That will influence consumer, service and financial markets.
G.The yold, in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章主要论述了“悠得人”群体对社会生产力和消费的影响。
1.G 细节句。由上文可知,“悠得人”的十年开始了,结合下文可知,这个新群体会对世界

4.E 细节句。根据设空后的指示代词“They”可知,其指代的是复数的主语,再根据空后
所讲的“old workers”的优势可知E符合语境。
5.B 细节句。设空后提及“悠得人”会要求公司对年龄更加友善,由此可知设空处是不
友善的具体事例。
Passage 29 话题:懒惰 难度:易
Laziness is a state of inaction. It’s something that you do, not something that you are.
1 This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is identifying themselves as
someone who is lazy. Lazy people are the ones who don’t do anything. You can view a
student who never studies as lazy. You can see an employee who doesn’t do his work as
being lazy. 2 But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazily?
There is a huge difference between saying you act lazily sometimes and saying you are a lazy
person. 3 This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they simply are
people who are temporarily acting that way.
第 41 页 共 42 页曲一线 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
So what causes a person to be inactive? 4 If you give someone a good enough reason to
do something, they will do it. For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go
if someone offered you a million dollars to go? If you are too lazy to clean out the garage,
would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action?
5 Before you take action though, you need a compelling reason to do so. To motivate
someone who is lazy, what you need to do is help them find purpose and enough reasons to
work towards a certain goal.
A.The answer is a lack of goals and purpose.
B.They can be seen as underachievers or even bums.
C.Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything.
D.In these cases, what the lazy person is doing is being lazy.
E.One suggests that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it’s permanent.
F.The bottom line of overcoming laziness comes down to finding enough reasons to take
action.
G.People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do
anything.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章分析了懒惰的原因以及克服懒惰的方法。

something that you are.可知,本句应当承接上文继续说明懒惰的含义。故C选项符合上下
文语境。
2.D 细节句。根据上文可知,上文列举的事例是在说明什么样的人是懒惰的人。D选项
符合上下文语境。
3.E 细节句。根据上句可知,此处应该是对两种情况的解释,故E项符合上下文语境。
4.A 细节句。设空处上文说So what causes a person to be inactive?设空处应该承接上文
的问题,回答一个人不活跃的原因是什么。故A选项符合上下文语境。
5.F 主旨句。本段分析的是克服懒惰的方法,因此F项符合本段的主题。
