15 七选五阅读应对策略(外在线索)
【策略精析】
策略1：关注小标题
在“总——分”结构的文章中，有一些由小标题引领各部分。如设空处恰好处于小标题的位置，则
该处应为一个小标题。而小标题的供选项一般为祈使句，相对于其他选项，句子较短，特征较为突出。
一个小标题常有两个供选项，其中一个为迷惑选项，通常也是最终多余的两个选项之一，不会是任何题
的答案。小标题线索题目较为明显，学生容易发现小标题的特征，题目较为简单，学生可优先做该题。
【典例示例】 (2016·全国卷Ⅱ片段)
•__37__
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants，flowers，patterns and masses of color.Others are
concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers ( 肥
料 ).38.Still__others__may__simply__enjoy being__outdoors and__close__to__plants.However ， there are a
number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.One of them comes from our earliest years.
•Recall (回忆) your childhood memories
...
A．Know why you garden
B．Find a good place for your own garden
【分析】 由该空所在位置可知这是一个小标题。A项(Know why you garden)和B项(Find a good place for
your own garden)都是祈使句，故只能从这两个选项中选择。由其后内容“有些人可能认为花园……，有
些人关心……然而，还有很多其他原因……”可知，本段的主题应该是 A项“知道你为什么要做园艺工
作”，其中的garden为动词，意为“从事园艺工作”。而B项为最终多余选项中的两个选项之一。
策略2：留意主旨句
在“总——分”结构的文章中，观察每一部分(段落)的结构，如果每一部分(段落)都有主旨句引领，
这些主旨句往往句式相同，并且前面往往有实心圆点。如果设空处恰好处于段落主旨句的位置，则该处
应为段落主旨句，然后根据本段内容做出选择。此类题目较为简单，学生可优先做该题。
【典例示例】 (2020·全国卷Ⅰ片段)
·__37__ Do not follow the people who make you feel not－good－enough.Why do you follow them？Are you
hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs？Know that your life is
your own；you are the only you in this world.
·Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings，our mistakes and
our failures.38. Remember ， you __are__only human.You will make mistakes，time and time again.Rather thangetting caught up in how you could have done better ，why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情
心)response？“That didn’t go as planned.But，I tried my best.”
C．Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D．Remember，you are only human.
E．Set an intention for self－acceptance.
F．Stop comparing yourself with others.
【分析】 由每段前的实心圆点来看，每段首句是主题句。再观察下一段首句“Forgive yourself for
mistakes that you have made.”是祈使句，应排除 C 选项。由空后的两个问句 Why do you follow
them？...your life is better than theirs？可知，本段主要讲不要和他人对比，故F项(停止与他人作比较)符合
语境。
策略3：观察首段末尾处
在“总——分”结构的文章中，首段的末尾句，往往起到总起作用，引领下文。所选答案的语句通
常为：“Following is the advice on how to...”“Here are a few tips to...” “The following steps may help you...”，
而下文内容正是这些advice，tips，steps的具体内容。
【典例示例】 (2018·浙江6月卷片段)
Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.Of course，you want to make sure that
you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood.The easiest way to accomplish this is to
make sure you conduct yourself as a good neighbor should.__31__
Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is to keep your property (房产) neat，
clean，and in good repair...
E．Should you come across waste paper thrown out of a passing car，pick it up.
F．People tend to take pride in keeping everything in their street fresh and inviting.
G．Here are a few tips to help you win over everyone in the neighborhood quickly.
【分析】 第一段讲如果你想成为邻居中一个可以接受和有价值的部分，最简单的方法就是确保你的行
为举止像一个好邻居应该有的。下文介绍了几种具体做法，故选 G项“这里有一些技巧，可以帮助你迅
速赢得邻居的信赖”，承上启下。
策略4：利用标点符号
如果设空处后面是逗号，则该处填入的句子应为“未完待续”的句子，这些句子往往是从句或是主
句；如果设空处前面是逗号，则该处填入的句子的首字母应为小写(专有名词除外)。我们可以据此来迅速
锁定选择范围。
【典例示例】 (2020·全国卷Ⅱ片段)
In Asia，messaging platforms are growing rapidly，with users in the hundreds of millions，both at work andplay.36.The__popularity__of__these__platforms__is spreading__globally.It’s been reported that 76 percent of
employees in some western countries are using emojis at work.
Written communications can often read as cold and dull.Using emojis can add humor and feeling，keeping
intention clear.__37__，encouraging better and more frequent communication.
A．Messages with emojis feel more conversational
B．Even a formal email can seem cold and unfriendly
C．Sending smiling faces to colleagues may seem strange
【分析】 设空处后为逗号可知，这个设空处应填入不完整的句子。上文讲“Written communications can
often read as cold and dull.Using emojis can add humor and feeling，keeping intention clear.”，谈到了在书面交
流中使用表情符号的好处，故结合选项可知，A项符合语境。

4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight
As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose
weight. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. 1
1. Healthy Eating is the First Step
If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories
than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories.
2 Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try
choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
2. Follow a training schedule
Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 3 So it’s much harder to
postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your
mileage too quickly.
3. Run regularly
If you don’t want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because
you won’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best to get some activity every day. 4 If you find
that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tips to get inspired.
4. 5
Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into
your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short
period of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.A. Keep it challenging
B. Eat for Performance
C. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next.
D. So you’ll need to combine running with a healthy diet.
E. If you’re hoping to use running to lose weight, here’s some advice on how to be successful.
F. Here are ways to improve your running motivation.
G. But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week.
【答案】1. E 2. D 3. C 4. G 5. A
【解析】本文是说明文。介绍了跑步减肥的4个策略。
1. 根据下文列举的几个小标题可知后边是一些关于如何成功的建议。E项：如果你希望用跑步来减肥，
这里有一些关于如何成功的建议。承上启下，故选E。
2. 根据后边Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. 跑步
者确实有特殊的营养需求，但是健康饮食的基本原则仍然适用。可知需要把跑步和健康饮食相结合。故
选D。
3. 根据前边Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 坚持训练计划是一种保持
跑步动力的简单方法。可知计划让你清楚知道每天需要做什么，故选C。
4. 根据前边It's best to get some activity every day.最好每天都做些运动，可知如果不能，每周也要运动3-4
次。故选G。
5. 根据下文Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time)
into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. 将速度工作或间歇训练（以非常快的速度在
短时间内跑）列入你的跑步计划也可以帮助你减肥。可知要保持挑战性。故选A。

With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here
are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.
6
Avoid harsh cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may
disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.
Switch to a face oil
7 In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it
into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.
Exfoliate(去死皮)
Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal.8 However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to
overdo it.
9
If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little
raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine
lines.
10 The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.
A. Drink plenty of water
B. Eat homemade soups
C. Use mild facial cleansers
D. Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look better
E. Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfort
F. After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.
G. Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.
【答案】6. C 7. F 8. G 9. A 10. D
【解析】试题分析：本文介绍一些如何保护在一年中较冷的月份里保护皮肤的技巧。
6. C此题是一个小标题。根据本段第一句Avoid harsh(刺激性的) cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and
choose a gentle cleanser.（避免含有硫酸盐或酒精的刺激性清洁剂，要选择一个温和的清洁剂。）可知，使
用温和的洁面乳。故选C。
7. F根据下句In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat
it into the skin. （为了避免干燥，揉搓3至5滴油滴在手掌上，然后轻轻拍打它。）可知，此首句的意思
是：洁面后，你的皮肤仍有干燥的危险。）故选F。
8. G 根据上句Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin
cell renewal.（去死皮非常重要，因为它有助于去除死皮细胞，并促进皮肤细胞更新。）故G项Moreover,
dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.（另外，死皮细胞不会让你的脸油深入皮
肤。）符合语境，故选G。
9. A 此题是小标题。根据此段首句If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to
drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey.（如果你不感到口渴，挣扎着喝足够的液体，尝试喝茶，用少许
生蜂蜜加点甜味）可知，A项Drink plenty of water（喝足够的水。）符合本段内容，故选A。
10. D 根据空格下句：The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.
（最大的优势就是你会带着舒适和自信度过寒冷的季节。）可知，此空的意思是：按照上面的提示，你
可以拥有漂亮的皮肤，看起来更好。故选D。3
Secrets of Great Savers
Wondering how to save more money but have no idea where to cut? 11 They can make your
money go further and help you live a more financially secure(保障的) life. You can form a “hand-me-down” club.
Since kids grow so fast, their clothes quickly become unwearable even though they still look nice. 12
Instead of making your local kids’ clothing store rich, organise a club of parents from your child’s school or
daycare to exchange hand-me-down clothing.
13 Always buy the same colour and style of socks for your child—preferably white, since you
can bleach(漂白) them when they are stained. Since socks always disappear, when you lose one of a pair, you can
pair it up with another, because they are all the same.
It is a good idea to take a job for a discount. If you are looking for apart-time job, fill out applications at
shops where you often do your shopping. 14 If you have teenagers in your home who are ready for a
job, encourage them to work at your family’s favourite stores with employee discounts too. Not only will you
benefit from the discount but you will also gain access to a new world of inside information on upcoming sales!
Why not help your friend move? Always help friends pack their belongings and load the truck when they are
moving. When people are loading their households into boxes, they usually find items that they no longer need or
do not want to pack or unpack. As a result, you can bring home hundreds of pounds worth of frozen food,
tableware, books, toys, furniture(家具) and other household items. 15
A. Get socks of one colour.
B. Bleach socks to whiten them.
C. We share four secrets of super savers here.
D. So, parents buy a lot of new clothes to meet the need.
E. Best of all they will still think you’ve done them a favour.
F. For example, clothing shops may give their employees a discount.
G. Once they do a favor, your problem will probably be solved very quickly.
【答案】11. C 12. D 13. A 14. F 15. E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了四个超级省钱的秘诀，这些秘诀可以让你的钱花得更长久，帮
助你过上更加经济安全的生活。
11. 根据前文“Wondering how to save more money but have no idea where to cut?(想知道如何节省更多的钱，
但不知道从哪里削减?)”可知，此处提出要节省钱，但不知道如何节省的问题，后文应该对该问题进行回
答即提出省钱的方法。C选项“We share four secrets of super savers here.(我们在这里分享超级储蓄者的四
个秘密。)”符合语境。故选C。12. 根据前文“Since kids grow so fast, their clothes quickly become unwearable even though they still look
nice.(因为孩子们长得很快，他们的衣服很快就不能穿了，即使它们看起来还不错。)”可知，此处是说衣
服不能穿之后的行动。D选项“So, parents buy a lot of new clothes to meet the need.(所以，父母买了很多新
衣服来满足需要。)”的so与前文的since构成因果关系，形成呼应。故选D。
13. 根据后文的“Always buy the same colour and style of socks for your child—preferably white, since you can
bleach(漂白) them when they are stained.(给你的孩子买同样颜色和款式的袜子——最好是白色的，因为当
袜子被弄脏时，你可以漂白。)”可知，此处建议的是买相同颜色的袜子，尤其是买白色的袜子。A选项
“Get socks of one colour.(买一种颜色的袜子。)”概括本段内容，符合语境。故选A。
14. 根据前文“It is a good idea to take a job for a discount. If you are looking for apart-time job, fill out
applications at shops where you often do your shopping.(接受一份有折扣的工作是个好主意。如果你正在找
兼职工作，在你经常购物的商店填写申请表。)”可知，此处建议的是在有折扣的地方兼职。F选项“For
example, clothing shops may give their employees a discount.( 例如，服装店可能会给他们的员工打折。)”承
接前文，指出在有折扣地方兼职的好处是可以给员工打折。故选F。
15. 根据前文“As a result, you can bring home hundreds of pounds worth of frozen food, tableware, books, toys,
furniture(家具) and other household items.( 因此，你可以把价值数百英镑的冷冻食品、餐具、书籍、玩具、
家具和其他家居用品带回家。)”可知，此处说的是，帮朋友搬家可以得到好处。E选项“Best of all they
will still think you’ve done them a favour.(最好的是，他们仍然会认为你帮了他们一个忙。)”承接前文，指
出除了可以带回家各种东西，同时自己还能够得到朋友的感谢，即认为自己帮了他们一个忙。故选E。

These days when someone says a computer has a bug (小虫子) in it, usually they mean that there’s a problem
with one of its programs. Maybe your computer crashed when you were in the middle of a game. 16
But back in the early days of computers, a woman named Grace Hopper was part of a team that discovered
the very first computer bug.
17 She had been invited to help program a new computer, the job of which was to quickly deal with
the math problems ships used to find their way. 18 Then it translated the patterns of holes into the math
problems it was supposed to solve.
One afternoon in 1947 Hopper and her team were running a program. But the computer wasn’t giving them
the right results. 19 They finally ended up taking the computer apart, looking for problems. What did they
find? It was a moth (飞蛾)! The moth was blocking some of the holes in the paper— 20 Some people think
Hopper was the first person to use the word “debug” to mean “get rid of the problems in a computer”.
A. What could be wrong?
B. Hopper was a mathematician.C. Who had operated the computer?
D. Hopper was a hardworking scientist.
E. She thought it was funny that it was a real one.
F. Or you got an error message when you tried to go to a website.
G. The computer worked by reading instructions from a long piece of paper with holes in it.
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们，有些人认为Hopper是第一个使用“debug”这个词的人，意
思是“摆脱电脑中的问题”。现在，当有人说电脑里有一个漏洞时，通常他们的意思是说它的一个程序
有问题。
16. 上文提到“也许你的电脑在游戏中崩溃了。”承接上文，F项 Or you got an error message when you
tried to go to a website.“或者当你试图去一个网站的时候，你收到了一条错误信息。”切题。该项中的or
将上下文串联在一起。故选F项。
17. 下文提到“她被邀请去帮助编写一台新电脑，这项工作的任务是快速处理船只用来寻找道路的数学问
题。”承接下文，B项Hopper was a mathematician.“Hopper是一个数学家”切题。该项中的a
mathematician与下文的the math problems相吻合。故选B项。
18. 上文提到“”她被邀请去帮助编写一台新电脑，这项工作的任务是快速处理船只用来寻找道路的数学
问题”。承接上文，G项The computer worked by reading instructions from a long piece of paper with holes in
it.“这台电脑的工作原理是阅读一张上面有洞长纸上的说明。”切题。该项中的The computer正好特指上
文提到的a new computer。故选G项。
19. 下文提到“他们最终把电脑拆开，寻找问题。”承接下文，A项What could be wrong?“出什么错了
吗”切题。该项中的wrong与下文的problems相吻合。故选A项。
20. 上文提到“那是一只蛾子！这只蛾子挡住了纸上的一些洞。”承接上文，E项She thought it was funny
that it was a real one.“她认为这是真的很有趣。”切题。故选E项。

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be
different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. Your environment doesn’t control your life — you
do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 21
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity (数
量) but on quality (质量). 22 Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to
focus.2. Have fewer meetings.
23 And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small
windows, and making you rush.
3. 24
When you do the some things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that
don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped
doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully
appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your
surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. 25
A. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
B. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.
C. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.
D. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.
E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
F. Pick 2-3 important things — or even just one important thing — and work on those first.
G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
【答案】21. D 22. F 23. B 24. A 25. E
【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明如何才能不匆忙，却拥有快乐的、高质量的工作和生活。
21. 根据上文“Your environment doesn’t control your life — you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you
a step-by-step guide to moving slower.（你的环境不会控制你的生活，而是你自己。这里我不会告诉你如何
一步步地去做才能慢下来。）”可知，作者开门见山表明自己的态度；分析下文结构可知，设空处要提
出相应的建议。D项“But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.（而是
请你考虑一些事，如果有效果就采纳。）”前后一致，故选D项。
22. 根据上文“Focus not on quantity but on quality.（ 重质量而不是数量。）”可知，作者强调做事情要
精简，下文“Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.（把那些小的日常
生活的琐事推迟一下）”说明不重要的事情要推迟，本小节的标题是“Do less”，所以选项F“Pick 2-3
important things — or even just one important thing — and work on those first.（挑选2-3件重要的事做，甚至
就一件重要的事，先做这些。）”符合上下文，故选F项。
23. 本小节的标题是“ Have fewer meetings.（减少会议。）”说明这个小节是围绕“会议”展开的。下文“And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and
making you rush.（这些会议把你想做的事给挤掉了，使你很匆忙）”中有and，说明设空处与本句是并列
关系，选项B的“Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.（会议通常很浪费时间。）” 是符合标题要求
并且与下文意思一致，故选B项。
24. 第三条的标题应该和段落内的内容相一致。段落内容是：“When you do the some things with focus,
without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how
necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them? （当你专注地做一些事情，不着急的
时候，就会有一些事情被推到后面，无法完成。你需要问问自己：这些东西有多必要？如果我停止做这
些会发生什么？），总结段意就是如何处理被推迟和取消的事情，所以选项A“Start to put off or cancel the
unnecessary.（开始推迟或取消不必要的事。）”符合文意，故选A项。
25. 上文“Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed.（试试这些东西。不匆忙的生活更美好。）”说
明本段是总结全文，所以选项E“Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can
you.（记住这一信条：如果大自然能把一切做得井井有条而不匆忙，你也行。）符合全文的意思。故选E
项。

Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, once said
that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? 26 To overcome
them, we spend billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion and so on.
Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even
when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter
how much we argue against it, beauty has great influence on us. 27
Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” 28 We simply
treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people
will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the
photo of a homely author.
Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will. 29 Experiments conducted
by psychologist Judith J. Langlois showed that even small babies prefer to look at attractive faces. Before they
have met a single super model, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single
fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive.
30 Just as Nancy Etcoff says, “We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.”
If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also try your best to look beautiful.There’s no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty’s power. It moves us all.
A. We are born with it.
B. It’s not fair, but it’s true.
C. There is simply no escape.
D. It actually does not make any sense.
E. We are all proud of our achievements.
F. We are all too aware of our physical imperfections.
G. However, there are more important things in life than beauty.
【答案】26. F 27. C 28. B 29. A 30. G
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲追求美是人的天性，外表的靓丽可以带来很多的好处。我们不要
羞于表达自己对美的追求和向往。
26. 根据下句“To overcome them, we spend billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion
and so on.”（为了克服它们，我们每年会话很多钱在化妆品，减肥食品，时尚以及其它方面）可以推断出，
前面一个句子应该是谈论不好的方面，所以才需要克服。故选F项。
27. 根据上句“No matter how much we argue against it, beauty has great influence on us. ”（无论我们如何攻
击它，美已经对我们产生了很大影响）可知，前后句应该是转折关系，所以接下句“这是避无可避的”，
语言上符合逻辑。故选C项。
28. 根据下文中举的两个例子“我们总是对美的人更好一点；我们总是觉得漂亮作家的作品更具创作性”
可知，前面应该提到“美真实而不公平的情况”来作为一个过渡句，起承上启下的作用，符合文章逻辑。
故选B项。
29. 根据下文中的“Langlois showed that even small babies prefer to look at attractive faces.”（甚至婴儿都更
喜欢看漂亮的脸蛋）可推断出，对于美的向往，人生而如此。故选A项。
30. 分析段落可知，此处应该选一个能概括本段的中心句。通读整段可知，本段主要讲美虽然重要，但不
是最重要，在追求美的同时，我们也应该追求更深层次的东西，所以G项的内容符合本段主题。故选G
项。

When you decide to lose weight, ideas of boredom and starvation usually come to mind. But they don't have
to. 31 — if you have the right rules. Here are some rules that can make the process more fun.
Eat more often.
Out-of-control hunger is a common predictor of overeating. When you go too long without food, you tend to
eat more. Instead of starving, feed yourself at least every 3 or 4 hours. 32 .
Love what you eat.When you eat or drink anything, do so slowly, mindfully and without distraction (分心).
33 . It will also allow you the time to notice when you’ve had enough.
34
What’s the best workout (锻炼) for weight loss? The workout you'll actually do — not the one that was
suitable for your friend, or that you heard burned the most calories. If you pick what you think is best, you’re
setting yourself up for failure.
Hang with your friends.
Having support is a huge help while working on healthy lifestyle change. 35 . Ask friends with
similar goals to work with you. You can share success stories and disappointment. They are always there to cheer
you on.
A. Keep your exercise short
B. Make weight loss a team effort
C. Stop searching for the best workout
D. Weight loss can be fun and enjoyable
E. This will keep your hunger monster(怪物)at bay
F. By doing so,it will increase your enjoyment
G. Forget the ''dieting'' rules that make you feel bored
【答案】31. D 32. E 33. F 34. C 35. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个让减肥变得有趣、成为一种享受的方法。
31. 上文When you decide to lose weight, ideas of boredom and starvation usually come to mind. But they don't
have to.(当你决定减肥时，你通常想到的是无聊和饥饿。但，它们不必这样。)与D. Weight loss can be fun
and enjoyable(减肥可以是充满趣味和享受的。)承接自然，减肥不一定非得是无聊和饥饿，也可以充满乐
趣和享受，故选D项。
32. 上文Instead of starving, feed yourself at least every 3 or 4 hours.(不用饿，让你自己每隔3-4个小时吃一

business are going all out to lead a green living culture in communities.
36 This brand offers shoppers all sorts of organic and green living necessities, including but not
limited to spices, dry food, raw noodles, spaghetti, body wash, and skincare products. 37 Instead,
customers are encouraged to bring their own containers when they shop.
In 2018 when Dora Lam co-founder of slowood, gave birth to her daughter. she and her husband wondered
where they could find organic and sustainable products for the baby. 38 Therefore, the new parents decided
to set up a one-stop environmentally friendly shop Where residents are able to buy almost all living necessities.
39
According to Dora Lam, there are some misunderstandings over the price of “zero waste” products. Some
people have the stereotype that these products are expensive or even unaffordable. Referring to the spices and
food sold at Slowood she said they are more economical than those sold at supermarkets. For example, a bottle of
basil that is on sale at Slowood for less than HK$10 goes for about HKS35 at supermarkets. 40
Dora Lam hopes the concept of zero waste could be more widely accepted in the future. “Everyone can help
by forming easy eco-habits, such as using reusable bottles, ordering takeaway food as les s as possible, or using
less tissues.” she said.
A. This is how Slowood came into being.
B. Saving energy is for the Earth and the future of human beings
C. The extra cost comes mainly from the bottle itself and delivery expenses.
D. Disappointedly they found that the products were sold in deferent stores.
E. Unlike other shops, Slowood does not provide single use plastic bottles or bags.
F. When invited to speak in public, she advocates stainable and low-carbon lifestyles.
G. Slowood, a Hong Kong based chain, opened is fourth store at Central Market in August.

spices, dry food, raw noodles, spaghetti, body wash, and skincare products.（该品牌为消费者提供各种有机绿
色生活必需品，包括但不限于香料、干粮、生面条、意大利面、沐浴露、护肤品等。）”可知下文提到
的“this brand ”指的是Slowood。而选项G“Slowood, a Hong Kong based chain, opened is fourth store at

选A。
40. 上文“For example, a bottle of basil that is on sale at Slowood for less than HK$10 goes for about HKS35 at
supermarkets.（例如，一瓶罗勒在Slowood售价不到10港元，在超市售价约为35港元）”可知这是在举
例解释人们对“零浪费”产品的价格存在的一些误解。选项C“The extra cost comes mainly from the bottle
itself and delivery expenses.（额外的成本主要来自瓶子本身和送货费用。）”也是在解释这个误解，根据
递进关系。故选C。

You know this: continuous learning and improvement are essential to our work and life. But your time is
limited and there is only so much you can absorb at a given period. How does one learn faster and more
effectively?
If knowledge is power, knowing how to learn effectively is the superpower. 41 Use them to absorb
more information in a short time, understand content at a deeper level and carry out what you’ve learnedeffectively.
Increase desirable difficulty
Like building muscles, the harder you train, the stronger you get. So does learning. The harder your brain has
to work to recall a memory, the greater you increase in learning.
This is what separates studying with practicing and testing.Practicing and testing are not equal to studying.
They are greater than studying because it requires work to dig out the me memory of what you’ve studied and
learned.
42 Instead, increase the desirable difficulties so that you learn and remember the knowledge better
over the long run.
43
Sleep plays an extremely important role in our cognitive (认知的）development, which includes learning.
While your brain sleeps, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液)in the brain increases and clears out harmful
toxins built up during your waking hours.
To improve your learning ability, make sure you get enough high-quality sleep every day. If you have the
time flexibility, try taking 30 to 60 minutes nap after lunch. Naps are sleeping too.
Make use of the environment
Our environment shapes our behavior more than we think or like to admit. 44 The environment plays
an important role, too. You can use this in two ways.
First, the environment we study and practice becomes the cause when we’re performing. If you’re practising
for a performance, for example giving a speech, practice it in the same environment where you’re going to
perform. Doing this makes practicing easier as it goes and it translates into the actual performance as well.
You can also use the environment to exposes yourself to many contexts when learning new content or
practicing a new skill. 45
A. Improve your sleep and take naps.
B. Make self-learning effective for you.
C. The same goes for learning .
D. Here are some skills to help you get closer to the superpower you ever wanted.
E. This helps your brain to make more connections for that particular content or skill.
F. To learn more effectively, stop avoiding challenges and difficulties.
G. Luckily, you can improve efficient learning habits and learning styles help you learn faster.

A good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.
When you like your teachers, it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks. 46
When your teachers consider you to be a friend, they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence
the classroom in a positive way. Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:
Ask questions. 47 Show them that you’re interested in their subjects. That will make them notice you.
But never ask questions that you already know the answers to. If your teachers realize that you are not asking real
questions, they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn, but only trying to make an impression.
48 When you see one of your teachers in the hall, greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that
concert or if he/she has seen that movie. 49 Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with
students, but most of them are happy to chat with their students. After a while, they may start to talk with you
about non-school subjects in the classroom.
The rest is totally up to you; it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers. Ifyou want to be friends with your teachers, just treat them as friends, but don’t forget that no matter how good
friends you are, 50 .
A. Talk about non-school subjects.
B. Choose the right subjects.
C. That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a friend.
D. If you have any questions about that subject, ask them.
E. they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.
F. we should obey whatever they ask and finish our homework on time.
G. When you consider your teachers as friends, you’ll certainly have more respect for them.

音乐会，或者他/她是否看过那部电影。）可知音乐会和电影都是与学校无关的话题，可推知上文是建议
“谈论非学校话题。”故选A。

Many people who struggle with their health or weight say they’ve tried every diet or food plan under the sun,
without any long-term success. 51 . Their old eating habits soon return, leaving them disheartened and
frustrated. The key to success lies in developing healthy eating habits. Here are a few eating habits that you should
follow.
1. Eat Healthy Unprocessed Food. Many of the packaged foods we buy today are aimed at convenience
but they’re not that healthy. They often contain high amounts of preservatives, man-made colourings and other
added chemicals. 52 .
2. 53 . Whole grains offer far more nutrients and fibre than their refined “white” varieties. On the
taste side, whole grains have more texture, flavour and nuttiness than refined ones. It is a fast and simple way to
improve your eating habits.
3. Change to Healthy Cooking Methods. The more you “do” to your food, the less it does for you. So
avoid things like deep-frying, which drenches your food in unnecessary calories. 54 . This will sap them
of nutrients.
4. Plan Your Healthy Shopping. It’s too easy to eat takeaway if there’s nothing in the fridge or put together
something naughty when it’s filled with unhealthy foods. But if your fridge and pantry are stocked with healthy
options you’ll be able to make better choices when you’re hungry. 55 .
A. Eat Healthy Portion Sizes
B. Switch to Healthy Whole Grains
C. The secret to healthy shopping is to plan ahead
D. The changes they make end up being short term
E. Avoid boiling vegetables until they’re drained of colour
F. Limit your nutritional intake will only make you feel tired
G. We should form the habit of preparing meals from unprocessed foods

Ways to Worry Less
Do you want to worry less? Of course you do. That's like asking if I can send you free bacon . Worry is like
black mold----it appears in damp conditions and spreads uncontrollably. And very often we don't realize it's there
until it's killing us. We must get rid of worry before it destroys us. But how should we do it? 56
Do what you need to do.
57 You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversations. If you don't do what you should be
doing, you will end up spending the rest of the time worrying about the must-do things. Believe it or not, the
anxiety that comes from the worry is much worse than the task we're worried about.
58
I think many of us act like we're puppets (木偶)in a play and we're waiting for something or someone to put
us in the right place. We just react to whatever is going on. 59 We need to live purposefully . Nothing can
cause more worry than purposelessness.
Make plans.
You can't succeed without making plans. Making plans will enable you to achieve your aims more smoothly.
However, your plans aren't set in stone. You can adjust your plans flexibly. Accept changes. 60
There are other ways to lessen worry. As long as you are determined to take action, you will live a worry-free
life.
A. Get more purposeful.
B. Worry ruins creativity.
C. Do what you should be doing.
D. We need to stop letting life just happen.E. Make new plans and then move forward.
F. Here are some effective ways to deal with it.
G. You do the same things as the people around you do.

57. 根据本段中You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversions. If you don't do what you should be
doing, you will end up spending the rest of the time worrying about the must-do things. 可知，对困难的事你不
应该逃避。如果你不做你应该做的事，你就会把剩下的时间花在担心这些必须做的事情上。C项，做你应
该做的，与本段内容相符合。故选C。
58. 空格处是段落标题。根据本段内容可知，我们总是等待别人把我们放在对的位置，自己却没有目的性；
后面也提到We need to live purposefully . Nothing can cause more worry than purposelessness. 我们需要有目
标地生活。没有什么比漫无目的更令人担忧的了。可知，我们的行为应该更有目的性。故选A。
59. 空处前面，作者认为很多人就像是剧中的木偶，我们在等待某件事或某个人把我们放在正确的位置，
我们只是对正在发生的事情做出反应；后面直接提到We need to live purposefully . 我们需要有目标地生活。
可知，此处说的是我们不能让生活随随便便就过去了。D项中的life与后文中的live呼应，D项符合上下

No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words: I’m sorry.
Sometimes, though, it can be difficult to say them. 61
• It is not about winning.
62 When you start fighting with a friend, you may feel it is important that you “win” the fight by
proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him the first to apologize. In reality, you’ll both lose if you let
your fight ruin your friendship, and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.
• 63
You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who
is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. 64 Remember
that as time goes by, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember
the sadness of losing a friend.
• Take the first step.Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 65
You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you
should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation
for your friend to do the same. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.
A. Stop thinking about your pride.
B. Then try to be the first to apologize.
C. Here are some things to keep in mind.
D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.
E. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.
F. There are some special moments when you shouldn’t take the first step.
G. Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be the determination of a winner.
【答案】61. C 62. G 63. A 64. D 65. B

61. 空前说有时说出“对不起”很难，下文又介绍了如何说出“对不起”的几点建议，此处需要一个承上
启下的过渡句引出下文，故C项（这里有一些事情要记住）符合语境。
62. 根据本短标题“It is not about winning.”可知，这和输赢无关，此处讲的应该是关于输赢的话题，故
G项（友谊不像超级碗，永远不应该想着赢）符合语境。
63. 根据本段第一句“You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way.””可知，你可能听过这
样一句话“他的自尊挡住了路”，本段主要讲的是要放下你的自尊，故A项（别再想你的自尊了）符合
语境。
64. 根据空后的“Remember that as time goes by, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a
disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.”可知，记住，随着时间的流逝，我们经常忘
记谁是对的谁是错的，只记得失去朋友的悲伤，故D项（不要让这种事情发生在你在乎的朋友身上）符
合语境。
65. 根据空前的“Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your
friendship?”可知，你厌倦打架了吗?你认为这场争吵不重要到足以毁掉你们的友谊吗？此处是说如果是这
样的话你该怎么做，故B项（那么试着先道歉）符合语境。

68. 根据上文Instead of trying to focus on the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you
feel.（与其关注艺术的技术层面，不如问问自己艺术给你的感觉如何。）可知要着重于艺术给自己的感觉，

69. 根据上文Most art tries to express a feeling like sadness, anger, or happiness.（大多数艺术试图表达一种感
觉，如悲伤、愤怒或快乐。）可知艺术家会将自己的情感表现在作品当中，例如，如果艺术家看到一场
战争，他的作品中可能会表达出一种悲伤的情绪。故F选项符合语境。

The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult. Here area few tips to help you make new
friends as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.
71 . It’s a little bit awkward to reach out to somebody you don’t know well—whether that’s sending
the first text message or starting small talk in the elevator. But you have to accept it. Otherwise you can’t make
any new friends.
Remember that people will like you more than you think they will. 72 . Gillian Sandstrom, a senior
lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex in the UK, has done research on something called the “liking
gap”, which says that the little voice in your head telling you that somebody doesn’t like you very much is wrong.

try a new hobby. It might sound empty, but it works. 74 . Then people will be drawn to you because
you’ll be in the right place.
Be present. The planet is warming, and there’s so much good television out there to watch. We get it. But if
you want to keep your friendships, you have to show up for them. 75 .
A. So don’t listen to it
B. Accept the awkwardness
