16 七选五阅读应对策略(内在逻辑)
【策略精讲】
策略1：词汇复现法
词汇复现指相同词汇的重复使用、同义词和近义词的复现或同一范畴词的复现。英语的线性思维表
现为第一句话的宾语往往是第二句的主语，或者前后句有相同或重叠的词语。这种前后句语义的衔接常
以句子中关键词(组)(常为名词、动词、形容词)的同义词(组)、近义词(组)或反义词(组)复现的方式来实现。
解题时可以利用这些词(组)作为解题线索。
【典例分析】 (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)
·Your productivity is improved.Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you
for the day.__37__
·Your metabolism (新陈代谢)gets a head start.__38__ If you work out in the mornings，then you will be getting
the calorie (卡路里)burning benefits for the whole day，not in your sleep.
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D．There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
E．You can keep your head clear for 4－10 hours after exercise.
F．After you exercise，you continue to burn calories throughout the day.
G．If you are planning to do exercise regularly，or you’re doing it now，then listen up!
【分析】 37题 本段的主旨是“晨练能提高你的效率”。E项“锻炼之后的4－10小时内，你都能让
自己头脑清醒”进一步说明了锻炼的好处，符合此处的语境。E项中的 exercise是上句中Exercising的原
词复现。
38题 这一段说的是晨练有助于人体的新陈代谢，能让你一整天都感受到晨练消耗卡路里带来的好处。F
项中的关键词“throughout the day”与文中的“the whole day”呼应。故选F。
策略2：代词指代法
英语表达中，代词出现的频率极高。代词主要是为避免重复，用于指代前面提到的人或物，有时也
用于指代前面提到的名词或概念。代词指代一定要注意两种情况，一是选项中的代词要特别关注，二是
挖空后面的句子中的代词要特别关注。巧妙利用这样的指代关系可以有效地帮助我们做出正确的选择。
【典例分析】 (2020·全国卷Ⅲ)
__38__ This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served.There are usually no
planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The host or hostess of the party will，however，probablygive all the guests a tour of their new home.Sometimes，because a housewarming party happens shortly after a
person moves into their new home，people may be asked to help unpack boxes.39.This__isn’t__usual__though.
B．It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C．You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
D．If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts，keep them in a safe place.
【分析】 空格后的this是关键信息词。根据空后一句“This is often appreciated since at a housewarming
there isn’t a lot of food served”可知，在乔迁聚会时供应的食物不多，由此可判断出this是指带食物去参加
聚会，你也可以带食物或饮料与其他客人分享符合语境。
策略3：逻辑关系法
文章由段落组成，围绕中心话题展开。各段、句之间形成一定的语义逻辑关系，有总分、解释、例
证、并列、递进、转折、对比、因果等关系。七选五解题攻略之一就是要理清这些关系，并据此选出正
确答案。
（1）总分关系
文章由段落组成，围绕中心话题展开。“总分结构法”中的“总”是指文章内容的总体概括，出现
在文章的首和尾；“分”是指文章内容的具体展开，它实际上是文章的主体部分。 一篇文章在总体布局
上，可以先总后分，也可以先分后总，还可以先总后分再总，它们通常都称作“总分结构法”。
【典例分析】 (2018·全国卷Ⅰ)
But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home：
the small ones，the medium ones，and the large ones.
__38__．They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows，mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual
interest to our rooms.Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa，small
color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas ， dinner tables or
bookshelves.39.Color__choices__in__this__range__are__a__step__up__from__the__small__ones__in__two__m
ajor__ways.They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones，and they have a more powerful effect on the
feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls，ceilings，and floors.Whether you’re looking at
wallpaper or paint ， the time ， effort and relative expense put into it are
significant.40.So__it__pays__to__be__ sure ， because __you__want__to__get__it right__the__first__time.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you’re looking for
C．If you’re experimenting with a colorD．Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with
E．It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
【分析】 文中出现了“the small ones，the medium ones，and the large ones”，后面又提到了“small color
choices”，由此可知空处所在段主要在讲“the small ones”。故选D。
（2）转折关系
若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能表示转折。表示转折关系的标志词有：
but，however，yet，while/though/although，or/otherwise，on the contrary，instead，nevertheless(然而)，
still，in contrast/comparison，by comparison等。
【典例分析】 (2019·全国卷Ⅰ)
__40__While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin，they also give us beneficial Vitamin D．To make sure
you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside.It takes
sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working，and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth
of Vitamin D.
A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B．So what are you waiting for?
C．Being in nature refreshes us.
D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
【分析】 空格后一句说，虽然阳光会使我们的皮肤衰老并受到伤害，但阳光也能带来有益的维生素
D，这应该与上一句之间是转折关系，故空格处应填呼吸新鲜空气附带的好处，因此D项“呼吸新鲜空气
的另一个附带好处是阳光”符合语境，D项中的sunlight与空格后的the sun’s rays相呼应。故选D。
（3）例证关系
前后的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式具有多样性，思维过程基本是归纳(从例子到
观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。常见的表示例证关系的标志词有：for example，for instance，in fact/as a
matter of fact，actually，in other words/that is to say等。
【典例分析】
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built－in alarm clocks.__17__ 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.
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.【分析】 由17空之后的“Here are some examples...”可知前后是例证关系。根据后面举的例子可知应该
选择F项“The human wake－up call is a way to personalize a guest’s stay.”
（4）解释关系
从逻辑意义上来看，句子与句子之间常常是解释关系，往往作者提出观点，紧接着对这个观点进行
解释说明。因此，把握文章结构，理清作者所表达的观点至关重要。
【典例分析】 (2018·全国卷Ⅱ)
__39__ Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the
evening.Exercise energizes you，so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very
excited.
A．You will stick to your diet.
B．Your quality of sleep improves.
C．You prefer healthy food to fast food.
【分析】 此处缺少一个主题句。空后句子解释了早起锻炼的人比晚上锻炼的人睡得更好。所选答案应
是对后面内容的总述。故选B。
（5）对比关系
若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的对比比较，则空格处很有可能表示对比关系。表示对比关系的标志
词有：while，if not，some...others等。
【典例分析】 (2017·全国卷Ⅲ)
Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel.After you’ve tried a
new method for a week，take a look at your record.__20__ If not，take another look at other methods you could
try.
E．If the steps you take are working，keep it up.
F．Stick to your set bedtime and wake－up time，no matter the day.
G．Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.
【分析】 考查前后句的连贯。本段谈到对自己所做的计划要记录、评价和调整。本空后的“If not”说明
前面是讨论计划有效就应该坚持，因此选E。
（6）因果关系
表示因果关系的标志词有：so，therefore，thus，consequently(结果)，as a result (of)，so/such...that...，
so that...等。
【典例分析】 (2020·新高考卷Ⅰ)
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet，the only one who cares about any mistake is the
one who is speaking.People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact.most people only absorb about 20 percent of aspeaker’s message.So，don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.__18__
A．Do the opposite.
B．You want to be an effective public speaker.
C．You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.
【分析】 根据上文中的“So，don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.”
可知，当你犯错时不要停止演讲，除非是非常严重的错误。据此可以推知，空处承接上文，说明犯小错
误无需道歉，故C项正确。
（7）并列关系
表示并列关系的标志词有：similarly，and，first(ly)，second(ly)，first，then/next，finally/last，to
begin with，for one thing，for another thing等。
【典例分析】 (2020·新高考卷Ⅰ)
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.__19__ And like everything else in life ， that takes
practice.Remember，even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
B．You want to be an effective public speaker.
C．You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D．When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more.
【分析】 根据上文中的“Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.”可知，你的目标不是成为一个完
美的演说家。据此可知，空处与此对应，说明自己的目标是要成为高效的演说家，故选B项。

Two-way communication is a process by which two people or groups are able to communicate with each
other in a reciprocal（相互的）way. This means that one person or group expresses an idea, which is received by
the other person or group. 1
The basic idea behind two-way communication is that there are two parties involved and each one is able to
express itself and receive information from the other. 2 Radio or television is such an example.
3 Face-to-face contact occurs as two or more people are gathered together within the same space and
can talk to each other directly. Using the telephone to promote two-way communication can be quite effective.
Letters, emails and text messages also can be useful.
In marketing or public relations, there are two basic processes that are often referred to as two-way
communication. Asymmetric（不对称的）communication occurs between two parties. 4 This is typically
used when a large company expresses different ideas to the general public.
Symmetric two-way communication, on the other hand, occurs between two parties that are equals within theprocess. A company uses it to allow customers to provide feedback（反馈）. 5 Besides, it’s also
beneficial to the company.
A. This kind of communication has two forms.
B. This often allows the customer to feel more powerful.
C. One of them has more “control” over the process.
D. There are different ways people join in two-way communication.
E. The receiver returns with a message that is then received by the speaker.
F. A teacher uses it to encourage students to put forward their different opinions.
G. This is in contrast to communication in which only one party is able to express itself.
【答案】1. E 2. G 3. D 4. C 5. B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了双向交流的定义及特点。
1. 上文“This means that one person or group expresses an idea, which is received by the other person or
group.”（这意味着一个人或一个团体表达了一个想法，而另一个人或团体收到了这个想法。）说明双向
交流，包括发送信息者和接收信息者，与E. The receiver returns with a message that is then received by the
speaker.（接收方返回一条消息，然后由发送方接收。）相一致。故选E。
2. 下文“Radio or television is such an example”（广播或电视就是这样一个例子）说明电视或广播是一种
单向交流，只有一方能表达自己的观点，与G. This is in contrast to communication in which only one party is
able to express itself.（这与只有一方能够表达自己的交流形成对比。）相一致。故选G。
3. 本段“Face-to-face contact occurs as two or more people are gathered together within the same space and can
talk to each other directly. Using the telephone to promote two-way communication can be quite effective. Letters,
emails and text messages also can be useful.”（面对面的接触发生在两个或更多人聚集在同一空间内并可以
直接交谈时。 使用电话促进双向沟通是非常有效的。 信件、电子邮件和短信也很有用。）说明面对面
交流、打电话、书信、邮件和短信息，都是双向交流的例子，D. There are different ways people join in two-
way communication.（人们加入双向交流的方式有多种。）在本段开头是总起的作用，总领了这一段话。
故选D。
4. 下文“This is typically used when a large company expresses different ideas to the general public.”（这通常
用于大公司向公众表达不同想法时。）说明不对称交流的一个例子就是大公司相对于普通大众有比较强
的表达权利，与C. One of them has more “control” over the process.（其中之一对过程有更多的“控
制”。）与选项相一致。故选C。
5. 上文“A company uses it to allow customers to provide feedback（反馈）.”（一家公司使用它来允许客户
提供反馈）说明公司允许用户提供反馈，表达心声，即用户会更舒服，更有权利，与B. This often allows
the customer to feel more powerful.（这通常会让客户感觉更强大。）选项相一致。故选B。2

Music is often targeted at teenagers. Because teenagers go through big changes and start making life-
affecting decisions in their teens, people naturally wonder what effects music has on teenagers. Does it lead to
violence? Help test scores? Teach them valuable lessons? 11
Music can help students improve academic performance. Studying music involves math and science, so
students often improve in these areas. 12 According to a report, students who took part in music
performance scored 41 points higher in math than those who did not take part in music performance.
Being a teenager can be rough emotionally. Music is an especially emotional art form covering every type of
emotion. 13 As music is a way to express emotions, many teenagers might try to make their own music,
which can create healthy emotional expression.
14 Thus, listening to music can teach teenagers a lot about their own culture and other cultures. They
can learn musical traditions, musical instruments, history lessons and more. Plus, as listening to music is a fun
activity, this can often be a more interesting way to learn about a culture, rather than simply reading a textbook.
Music tastes and interests can often bring people together, especially teenagers. 15 As well, music is
often enjoyed at concerts and dance clubs where teenagers often hang out. Typically, the people attending these
concerts and dance clubs already share a common interest, so a connection can be easily made.
A. Music is often related with culture.
B. This improvement can benefit them in tests.
C. Music greatly improves teenagers,learning abilities.
D. While there are negative effects, there are many positive effects, too.
E. If they can find a song that matches their mood, they will feel comfortable.
F. Rap music presents a new vocabulary teenagers won't learn in an English class
G. Two teenagers who like the same style of music are easily to start up a friendship.
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. E 14. A 15. G

No one can be free from the sickening stress and anxiety from time to time. Not even that happy-go-lucky
guy you see walking down the street whistling “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, since they are a part of
the life. 16 . Listed here are proven ways to control stress and anxiety.
Breathe
Taking a long and deep breath to calm yourself in stressful situations isn’t just one of those old wives’ tales.
17 . Doctors say that slow, deep breathing can effectively cool down the angry blood that’s running around
your body, allowing your brain and body to return to their normal functions.
Walk
Many hearsay techniques for dealing with stress often raise a few eyebrows. But a whole host of scientific
evidence exists to suggest that walking is one of the best methods available. If you’re ever feeling the tension
building up in your brain and body, drop everything and simply go for a walk. 18 . Such a nice walk
provides your body with an ideal outlet for the build-up of energy that stress can create.
Laugh
19 . But if you are able to squeeze out even the smallest laugh during your day, you’ll soon begin to
find that the effects of stress slowly slip away. When you laugh, the body releases happy hormones that ease
tension brought on by stress.
FriendsSurrounding yourself with the people you love can be half the battle to defeating stress. When you are
stressed, even sitting at home with a cup of tea with a friend can really help to relieve high levels of stress as it
focuses your mind onto something you love. Don’t hesitate to reach for the phone and ring your friends whenever
you feel stressed. 20 .
A. After all, that’s what friends are for
B. So your friends will feel relieved soon
C. It’s a medically proven stress-relief technique
D. What can be done is to find ways to deal with them
E. Remind yourself to walk slowly and breathe normally

16. 空前谈到，“since they are a part of the life.”可知，压力与焦虑是生活中的一部分，谁也难以幸免，和
下文“Listed here are proven ways to control stress and anxiety.（这里列出了一些行之有效的控制压力和焦
虑的方法）”可知，虽然无人幸免，但有控制的方法。故D项What can be done is to find ways to deal with
them（唯一能做的就是设法控制它们）符合语境。故选D。
17. 根据空前“Taking a long and deep breath to calm yourself in stressful situations isn’t just one of those old
wives’ tales.(进行较长和深呼吸可以让你在有压力的环境中平静下来并不是无稽之谈)”以及空后的医学解
释可知，C项It’s a medically proven stress-relief technique(这是一个在医学上被证明有效的减压方法)符合
语境，medically呼应下文的doctors。故选C。
18. 根据空后“Such a nice walk provides your body with an ideal outlet for the build-up of energy that stress
can create. （这样一次好的散步为你的身体提供了一个理想的出口，让压力产生能量）”推知，空项会谈
到如何散步，故E项Remind yourself to walk slowly and breathe normally(散步时记得提醒自己要做到气定
神闲)符合语境。故选E。
19. 根据本节小标题Laugh，特别是空后的转折关系“But if you are able to squeeze out even the smallest
laugh during your day,you’ll soon begin to find that the effects of stress slowly slip away. (但是如果你每天挤出
一点笑，你将会开始发现压力在慢慢减弱)”可知，感到压抑时我们最好还是笑笑。G项If you’re stressed,
the last thing you probably feel like doing is laughing (在你感到压抑的时候，你最不想做的很可能就是笑)符
合语境，与下文形成明显的转折关系。故选G。
20. 根据空前“Don’t hesitate to reach for the phone and ring your friends whenever you feel stressed. (当你感
到压力大的时候，给朋友打电话不要迟疑)”可知，空项很可能是要解释为什么可以这样贸然给朋友打电话的理由。A. After all, that’s what friends are for(毕竟，朋友就该是呼之即来的)符合语境。故选A。

As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you can’t
figure out what to do first.
26
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important.
One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal With Them
Confused or overwhelmed -- 27 . Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher. They may
help you find solutions to your problems and worries.
Being too hard on yourself – ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go
out with friends – anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems – recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems
at once. 28Goal-Setting Tips
It’s important to remember that goals belong to you – not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends.
After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. 29 , do some research. Try
the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
30 . If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals.
Consider ways to overcome them. Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal – see what steps you can take to
achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A. Too much to do
B. If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need
C. talk to someone you trust
D. Goals exist to serve you
E. Balancing goals in life
F. Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later
G. As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t
【答案】26. E 27. C 28. F 29. B 30. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文给毕业班的学生提出了面对诸多的压力时应该先做什么的建议。
26. 由“When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s
important. One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.”可知，
你有很多事情要做，并有很多事情需要你花时间的时候，你可能不知道什么是重要的。顾全大局的最好
的办法之一是设计你的目标。所以本段主要在讲在生活中要平衡目标也就是小题1本段的小标题所要说
明的内容。故E选项“在生活中要平衡目标”切题。故选E项。
27. 由“ Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher”可知，与朋友、父母或老师讨论你的忧虑。
所以小题2要总说困惑时或者不知所措时应该怎么做，然后再具体分说和谁去谈论。故C选线“和你信
任的人谈谈”切题。故选C项。
28. 由“it’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once”可知，一次性处理所有的问题压力太大
了。所以小题3要承接上句来说明既然没有能力同时处理，应该怎么做。故F选项“选择紧急的问题来处
理，剩下的留到后面再处理”切题。故选F项。
29. 由“After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. 4 , do some
research”可知，当你确定了你的目标之后，确定你要达到这些目标所需的技能。做一些调查。所以小题4
要说明在什么情况下需要做一些调查研究。故“如果你不确定你需要什么技能”切题。故选B项。
30. 由“If your goal is something you no longer want, change it”可知，如果你的目标不再是你想要的，改变
它。所以小题5要与后句为因果关系。故D选项“目标存在的目的是为了服务于你”故选D项。7
While you are studying or working abroad, sharing an apartment with people from other cultures is a great
way of getting the most out of a period of the beginning. 31 Here are some tips to make the process go
smoother.
Start by being aware of your own culture, values and attitudes. Understand that people who have not grown
up in the same country or context as you can sometimes translate some of your behavior in the wrong way.To
avoid this, seek advice from your friends and family to find out more about what type of person you are 32
You might also consider conducting a little research about what type of stereotypes (成见) other cultures might
hold about the people of your own country
33 Now that you know that people are all different, be understanding when you get to know
them,Try to be open-minded so that you can start off on the right foot.This will promote communication with
them. To get to know each other better, plan to spend some time doing what each of you likes to do in your spare
time. You can cook meals together, go out to the town, listen to music, take a weekend trip and plan some board
games.
Moreover,the other person might be from a place where People do not usually do these activities. The
opportunities to learn from each other are endless, 34
People are more similar than you think most of the time. We grow up in such a large world with so much
information everywhere and sometimes we can be misled into thinking something that we should not believe, but
we have the opportunity to make up our own minds. 35 You don’t know where people come from and
what their story is.
A. So be kind.
B. Be understanding and patient.
C. This is a situation to which it will take some time to adapt.
D. but sometimes it can take some initiative to actually make it happen.
E. and what you might come across when it comes to people who don't know you.
F. And this is what you may encounter.
G. Don’t be shy.

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it will get you the right ones. That’s true, so you shouldpursue authentic positivity in your friendships, the opposite of toxic (有毒的) positivity that would have you
encouraging friends in all things, regardless of what you might feel or observe or know about the challenges of
life. 36
1. Ask questions.
A feature of authentic positivity is a curious mindset, a mentality where you are less locked into “telling it
like it is” and more interested in wondering and exploring the possibilities together with your friend. 37
If your friendship has a history of welcome advice-giving, your question could be “Are you looking for ideas, or
do you just want me to listen?”
2. 38
“That’s so disappointing” is sometimes the most positive thing you can say to your friend when they are
struggling. Resisting the urge to say “It’s all going to work out; don’t worry” shows your friend that you see them
in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now. 39 You can use “yes/and”
statements like “What happened at work is so frustrating—AND I know how creative you are, so you’ll find a
way to move forward.”
3. Learn to apologize —and ask for an apology.
40 That includes you, too. Being authentic in a friendship means having the freedom to say to a
friend, “I’m sorry I hurt you.” It also means being able to say, “Your words/ actions hurt me.” Friendships that
stand the test of time have room for mistakes, and for repair.
A. Name hard truths.
B. Don’t disappoint your friend.
C. Every friend misses the mark sometimes.
D. Instead, friends should be authentic and positive.
E. Here are three ways to be an authentically positive friend.
F. But that doesn’t mean you need to focus on the negative all the time.
G. Positive friends ask each other questions, and listen deeply to the answers.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. A 39. F 40. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何成为一个真正积极的朋友。
36. 上文“That’s true, so you should pursue authentic positivity in your friendships, the opposite of toxic (有毒
的) positivity that would have you encouraging friends in all things, regardless of what you might feel or observe
or know about the challenges of life. (这是事实，所以你应该在你的友谊中追求真正的积极性，而不是有害
的积极性。这种积极性会让你在所有事情中鼓励朋友，无论你对生活中的挑战有什么样感受、观察或了
解)”强调了友谊中追寻真正积极的好处，下文段落小标题“Ask questions(提问问题)”和“Learn toapologize —and ask for an apology. (学习道歉——并要求道歉)”详细介绍了如何成为一个真正积极的朋友。
空格处于段尾，往往起着总结上文或承上启下的作用。E选项“Here are three ways to be an authentically
positive friend. (以下是三个可以让你成为一个真正积极的朋友的方法)”呼应下文每一段的小标题，故答案
为E。
37. 本段的小标题“Ask questions. (提问问题)”及空后“If your friendship has a history of welcome advice-
giving, your question could be “Are you looking for ideas, or do you just want me to listen?” (如果你的友谊存在
一段可提供建议的历史，你的问题可以是“你是在寻求建议，还是只是想让我听听？”)”都在介绍要学会
提问题。G项“Positive friends ask each other questions, and listen deeply to the answers. (积极的朋友会问对
方问题并认真倾听对方的回答)”符合本段主题，所以答案定位G。
38. 空格处于小标题的位置，所以应该和其他段落的小标题保持一致，都是祈使句结构，因此答案定位到
A和B选项。由本段““That’s so disappointing” is sometimes the most positive thing you can say to your
friend when they are struggling. Resisting the urge to say “It’s all going to work out; don’t worry” shows your
friend that you see them in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now. (有时候“这太令
人失望了”这句话是你在朋友挣扎时对他们说的最积极的话。克制住说“一切都会好起来的；别担心”
的冲动，让你的朋友知道你看到了他们的痛苦，你可以随时支持他们)”可知，作为真正积极的朋友，作者
建议我们要敢于说出真实的情况。A项“Name hard truths. (说出残酷的真相)”符合。选项中的“hard”呼应
本段形容词“disappointing”，故选A。
39. 前文“Resisting the urge to say “It’s all going to work out; don’t worry” shows your friend that you see them
in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now. (克制住说“一切都会好起来的；别担
心”的冲动，让你的朋友知道你看到了他们的痛苦，你可以随时支持他们)”强调我们要敢于说出真相，哪
怕是消极表达。后文“ You can use “yes/and” statements like “What happened at work is so frustrating—AND
I know how creative you are, so you’ll find a way to move forward.” (你可以使用“是/和”这样的语句，比如
说，“工作中发生的事情太令人沮丧了，我知道你有多有创造力，所以你会找到前进的方法”)”介绍了我
们也可以对朋友说一些肯定的表达，前后句意呈转折关系，所以F选项“But that doesn’t mean you need to
focus on the negative all the time. (但是那并不意味着你需要一直关注消极的东西)”符合题意。故选F。
40. 本段的小标题“Learn to apologize —and ask for an apology. (学习道歉——并要求道歉)”及根据空后的
内容“Friendships that stand the test of time have room for mistakes, and for repair. (经得起时间考验的友谊中
都会存在犯错和可恢复的情况)”描述了我们都会犯错，要学会道歉。C项“Every friend misses the mark
sometimes. (每个朋友都有犯错的时候)”贴合题意，“miss the mark”和 “mistake”内容一致，故选C选项。

Barbecue is a tradition as old as the US itself .The first president of the US, George Washington, once wroteabout going to a lovely barbecue. 41
In the northern region, the word "barbecue" means "cooking something on a grill''. It could be burgers, hot
dogs or potatoes. In North Carolina, barbecue means “smoked pork shoulder", 42 If I crossed the border
to South Carolina, I'd see them smoke an entire pig in a hole in the ground .
In the western half of the state, folks prefer a sweet-and-sour barbecue sauce made with ketchup, while
people in the eastern half like a sauce made of boiled vinegar. We used to travel around the US, giving samples to
the public. But some people in Lumberton refused the free samples. 43 One guy even stood around to
argue with us.
44 When my brother got married, we celebrated with barbecue .When I graduated from school, we
celebrated with barbecue. When I go home to visit my friends and family, we celebrate with barbecue.
But it's not just my family. At churches, schools, offices and house parties, barbecue is the first, thing many
people think of when we need to feed as many as 50 people. 45 It means getting out of doors, in good
weather, to eat with your friends and good neighbors.
Whether we are from a big city or a tiny town, people in the US can agree on one thing: We love barbecue-
whatever that is.
A. But people in the US argue about almost anything
B. They were upset that the sauce wasn't yellow.
C. We have our own brand of barbecue sauce.
D. Other places in the US have different ideas of barbecue
E. Barbecue means more than just meat.
F. But Americans can't agree on what barbecue is.
G. You can probably see that barbecue is important in my family.
【答案】41. F 42. D 43. B 44. G 45. E
【解析】这是一篇说明文。烧烤是一项和美国一样古老的传统，不同的地区对烧烤有不同的想法，不同
的地区烧烤需要的酱汁也不同。而对于作者来说，烧烤也是非常重要的家庭聚会方式。
41. 根据第二段中In the northern region…In North Carolina可知是在论述不同地方的美国对烧烤的看法不
一样，故F选项“但是美国人对烧烤是什么看法不一。”符合语境，故选F。
42. 根据下文If I crossed the border to South Carolina, I'd see them smoke an entire pig in a hole in the ground .
（如果我越过边境去南卡罗莱纳，我就会看到他们在地上的一个洞里烧烤一整头猪。）可知这里应是说
明美国不同的地方对烧烤有不同的想法，故选D。
43. 根据下文One guy even stood around to argue with us.（一个人甚至站在旁边和我们争论。）可知
Lumberton的人们并不喜欢这种黄色的酱汁。B选项中的upset可以对应到下文中argue about。故选B。44. 根据下文When my brother got married, we celebrated with barbecue .When I graduated from school, we
celebrated with barbecue. When I go home to visit my friends and family, we celebrate with barbecue.（当我哥哥
结婚的时候，我们用烧烤来庆祝。当我从学校毕业的时候，我们用烧烤来庆祝。当我回家拜访我的朋友
和家人，我们庆祝烧烤。）可知烧烤应用于各种场合，可知烧烤在作者家是很重要的。故选G。
45. 根据下文It means getting out of doors, in good weather, to eat with your friends and good neighbors.（它意
味着出门，在好天气下，和你的朋友和好邻居一起吃饭。）可推断上文“烧烤不仅仅意味着吃肉。”故
选E。

Going to outer space is a little like going camping. You have to carry with you all the food and equipment
you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare. 46 Food with all the water
dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil. So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. 47
. To keep food from floating away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray. The tray
can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and
pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s
nose. Achoo!
48 . So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw (饮料吸管) that can be closed.
Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.
Some, such as apples and pudding are the same as the foods you eat on Earth. Astronauts eat tortillas (玉米
粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). 49 .
Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. 50 . During take off and landing,
astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers (尿布) under their spacesuits instead.
The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating
away. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet. Back on Earth it’s flushed away
—or sometimes studied by scientists.
A. But there’s no gravity in space
B. Liquids float right out of cups and glasses
C. Your body must get rid of waste in space too
D. Crumbs can not be dealt with in outer space
E. In addition, everything seems to be different in outer space
F. Besides, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh
G. With them floating, they could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye【答案】46. F 47. A 48. B 49. G 50. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宇航员在太空是如何进行日常生活的各种活动的。
46. 根据上文“Going to outer space is a little like going camping. You have to carry with you all the food and
equipment you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare.(去外太空有点像去野营。
你必须随身携带旅行所需的所有食物和设备，所以你的食物不能太沉或太难准备)”以及下文“Food with
all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil.(所有水分干燥的食物重量轻，不会变质)”可知，空格
处应该讲述太空中食物需要干燥的原因。F项“Besides, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh.
(此外，没有冰箱来保持食物的冷和新鲜)”中的“Besides”表明和上文之间的关系是递进的，进一步说明太
空食物要干燥的原因，承上启下，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
47. 根据上文“On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your
plate.(在地球上，重力是让你的脚保持在地面上，让你的三明治保持在盘子里的力量)”可知，我们在地球
上的生活受重力的影响，根据下文“To keep food from floating away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach
the packets to a special tray.(为了防止食物飘走，航天飞机上的宇航员把食物包固定在一个特殊的托盘上)”
可知，在太空的生活不受重力的影响，所以空处应该讲的是太空的情况和地球是相反的，A项“But
there’s no gravity in space.(但是太空中没有重力)”表明太空和地球情况相反，其中的“But”表示前后意思相
反，承上启下，符合上下文语境。故选A项。
48. 根据下文“So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw (饮料吸管) that can be closed.(因
此，宇航员可以用一个可以闭合的吸管从一个小袋子里喝所有的东西)”可知，宇航员在太空喝的东西必须
是密封的，结合句中的“So”可知空处应该讲这样做的原因。B项“Liquids float right out of cups and
glasses.(液体直接从杯子和杯子中浮出来)”位于段首，表明了宇航员们这样做的原因，符合上下文语境。
故选B项。
49. 根据上文“Astronauts eat tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑).
(宇航员不吃面包，而是吃玉米饼，因为玉米饼的碎屑少)”，所以空处应该讲碎屑的危害。G项“With
them floating, they could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.(随着它们漂浮，它们可能会卡在设备或
宇航员的眼睛里)”进一步解释了碎屑的危害，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
50. 根据前文“Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth.(你的身体在太空中使用食物的方
式和在地球上一样)”可知，在太空吃食物的方式与地球上是一样的，根据下文“During take off and
landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers (尿布) under their spacesuits
instead.(在起飞和着陆期间，宇航员不能离开座位去洗手间。他们在宇航服下穿尿布)”可知，在太空上厕
所和在地球上是不一样的，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲宇航员在太空也必须上厕所的问题。C项
“Your body must get rid of waste in space too.( 你的身体在太空也必须清除废物)”，承上启下，符合上下文语境。故选C项。

What a comedian can teach you about managing stress
We often accept stress as part of the cost of modern life, but it really doesn’t have to be. We all know that
laughter is the best medicine. 51 People who can laugh at their own misfortunes bounce back faster and
stronger. Here is what a comedian says about coping with stress.
You can try to find a different perspective. 52 Once a friend of mine fell asleep in the middle of a
class. His teacher decided to make fun of him by inviting students to applaud, wondering whether my friend
would applaud along when he woke up. He did and the whole class burst outlaughing. After learning everything,
he was both embarrassed and ashamed of course but after a while, my friend laughed. “If this had happened to
someone else, it would have been amusing. So it’s no less funny, just because it happened to me. “
53 There’s no doubt that we all experience great stress now and then. We’ve all been personally
affected, in some way. You might not have felt like laughing at the time But now, looking back, you could
consider all of the strange aspects of the experience and all of the things you did to keep active or simply stay sane
(神志正常的) .
When you share stories with your friends, you can choose to share stories of trauma (创伤) and pain, or you
can choose to lift their spirits with stories of hope and growth. 54 Take the exact same story and change
the focus from “feel sorry for me” to “laugh with me”. Keep in mind that we’re all in this together, that we all
share the same ridiculous experiences, and that we can laugh together at whatever life throws at us. 55
A. Always share a good story.
B. Why not do what comedians do?
C. You can also look again and laugh.
D. But laughter does more than cheer you up.
E. Then you are able to make a simple choice.
F. In this way. you will say goodbye to stress forever.
G. If you have trouble seeing the funny side, you may find the following inspiring.
【答案】51. D 52. G 53. C 54. B 55. E
【解析】这是一篇议论文。本文介绍了笑能帮助我们缓解压力，生活中要笑对困境，看向事物积极的一
面。
51. 前文提到“We all know that laughter is the best medicine.”（我们都知道笑容是最好的良药），后文提
到“People who can laugh at their own misfortunes bounce back faster and stronger.”（能对自己的不幸一笑置
之的人能更快更坚强地振作起来。）由此判断，笑容还能让人更快地恢复过来。D项“But laughter doesmore than cheer you up.”（但是笑不仅仅是让你开心。）旨在说明笑不只是让人心情好起来，它还有后文
提到的“Here is what a comedian says about coping with stress.”（以下是一位喜剧演员对应对压力的看
法。）减少压力的作用。D项符合文意，故选D。
52. 第二段第一句提到“You can try to find a different perspective. ”（你可以尝试换个角度）。下文作者讲
了朋友的一个故事，旨在证明只要找到了好笑的点，就可以把一件尴尬的事情变成一件好笑的事情。而
读者可以从这个故事里获得灵感，受到鼓舞。从上下文可以得知，这个角度实际上指的是看到事情的有
趣的地方，找到好笑的点。G项“If you have trouble seeing the funny side, you may find the following
inspiring.”（如果你很难看到有趣的一面，你可能会发现下面的故事很鼓舞人心。）该项与后文的故事为
解释例证关系。G项符合文意，故选G。
53. 空处位于段首，由此判断该句应为该段的主题句，后文提到“You might not have felt like laughing at
the time But now, looking back, you could consider all of the strange aspects of the experience and all of the
things you did to keep active or simply stay sane (神志正常的) .”（当时你可能不想笑，但现在，回头看，你
可以考虑所有奇怪的方面的经验和所有的事情，你做了保持活跃或只是保持理智。）每个人都会经历压
力并受到影响，当时也许笑不出来，但是回头看看，想起做过的奇怪的事情，也许就会笑了。C项“You
can also look again and laugh.”（你可以回过头看看，然后大笑一场） 该项符合文意，故选C。
54. 前文提到“When you share stories with your friends, you can choose to share stories of trauma (创伤) and
pain, or you can choose to lift their spirits with stories of hope and growth.”（当你和朋友分享故事时，你可以
选择分享创伤和痛苦的故事，也可以选择用希望和成长的故事来鼓舞他们的精神。）后文提到“Take the
exact same story and change the focus from “feel sorry for me” to “laugh with me”. ”（以同样的故事为例，把
重点从“为我感到难过”转变为“和我一起笑”。）由此判断，该段说明可以把难过的事情转换成另外
一个方面去吸收。结合文章标题“What a comedian can teach you about managing stress”（喜剧演员可以教
你如何管理压力）可知，喜剧演员会让观众一起笑起来。B项“Why not do what comedians do?”（为什么
不学学喜剧演员呢?）B项符合文意，故选B。
55. 前文提到“Keep in mind that we’re all in this together, that we all share the same ridiculous experiences, and
that we can laugh together at whatever life throws at us. ”（请记住，我们都在一起，我们都有同样荒谬的经
历，我们可以一起嘲笑生活给我们的任何东西。），此空前面建议人们要认识到每个人都会经历不好的
事情，无论经历什么，我们都可以发笑。所以此空应该是这么做的好处。E项“Then you are able to make
a simple choice.”（然后你就可以做一个简单的选择。）E项符合文意，故选E。

Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant
part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. Formany years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox (脱瘾), which
mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. 56 Try the following three steps to achieve
balance in your and your family’s digital life:
Determine your problem times
Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are
streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be
getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. 57 Identify your top two
or three problem situations.
58
Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from
sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it
serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to
feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want.
Try a substitute
59 It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is
social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via
Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that
uplifts you. 60 And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens.

If you’ve done your last year of school but are not yet ready to settle down to life at university or college,
why not think about taking a break and having a gap year? Over 200,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25
did this last year.
61 You will become more confident and independent and learn to get on with all sorts of different
people during the year, which will help you when you go to university or college. 62 Students who have
had a gap year are more likely to be satisfied with their chosen courses and, therefore, are more likely to finish
them.
63 Doing voluntary work overseas is one of the most rewarding ways of spending your gap year. If
you don’t want to work, there are plenty of other exciting educational possibilities to consider. How about
studying art history in Italy? Perhaps you would like to take up acting and want to try a drama course in your gap
year. 64 Maybe it has always been your dream to visit China, or India or even Australia.
Of course, you don’t have to leave home. The key to a constructive gap year is to learn new skills and work
out what you want to do with your life. You can do this just as easily in your own country as you can on the other
side of the world. 65 .A. There are many reasons to take a gap year.
B. The universities actively encourage gap year.
C. What are the most common types of gap year?

How to Arrange Your Poems for a Poetry Collection
A collection of poems is an excellent way to display your work. Here are a few tips on how to arrange your
poems for a poetry collection.
Find a unifying theme or form. Many successful poetry collections will present a unified theme and include
poems that speak to this theme. 66 . For example, if you realize many of your poems discuss nature, youcan use nature as the theme and ensure each poem relates to this theme. You may also notice that many of your
poems follow a specific poetic form, such as the cinquain or the haiku. 67 .
Have a narrative are (叙事弧). The collection should feel like it has a beginning, middle, and end. You
should start somewhere and end up somewhere else. 68 . It may end with a resolution of some kind or a
conclusion. Think about how each poem sets a certain mood or tone. Then place them side by side.
Link certain poems together. You can also try linking your poems together so they make sense on a micro
level. This is often done with poems that feel more emotional and abstract. 69 . For example, you may
combine several poems based on a repeated line or an image they all share.
70 . Like the first line of a novel, the first poem in your collection is crucial. It will tell your readers
what they can expect from the collection and attract them to continue reading. So remember to have your most
powerful poem as the first poem in your collection.
A. Identify your favorite poems
B. Put your strongest poem first
C. Leave out poems that do not fit with the whole
D. You may connect poems based on wording or images
E. This will allow readers to connect to the collection as a whole
F. The goal should be to take the reader on an emotional journey
G. Then you can use this form as the unifier and only include poems using this form

collection as a whole(这将使读者能够将藏书作为一个整体联系起来)”符合文意，是对前文的解释，为什么

67. 分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“You may also notice that many of your poems
follow a specific poetic form, such as the cinquain or the haiku.(你可能还会注意到，你的许多诗都遵循一种特
定的诗歌形式，比如五韵诗或俳句)”可知，G项“Then you can use this form as the unifier and only include
poems using this form(然后你可以用这种形式作为统一词，只收录使用这种形式的诗歌)”符合文意，是对
前文的总结，其中form为同词复现。故选G项。
68. 根据前文“Have a narrative are (叙事弧). The collection should feel like it has a beginning, middle, and end.
You should start somewhere and end up somewhere else.(有叙事性。这个集合应该有开头、中间和结尾。你应该在某个地方开始，在另一个地方结束)”以及后文“It may end with a resolution of some kind or a
conclusion. Think about how each poem sets a certain mood or tone. Then place them side by side.(它可能以某种
解决方案或结论结束。想想每首诗是如何设定某种情绪或语气的。然后把它们并排放置)”可知，空处应是
过渡句，由诗集的布局到诗歌的情绪，所以F项“The goal should be to take the reader on an emotional
journey(目标应该是带领读者踏上一段情感之旅)”符合文意，是对前文进一步说明，并引出下文。故选F
项。
69. 根据本段小标题“Link certain poems together.(把某些诗连在一起)”以及后文“For example, you may
combine several poems based on a repeated line or an image they all share.(例如，你可以结合几首诗基于重复
的诗句或他们都共享的图像)”可知，本段讲述如何把诗歌连接在一起，根据后文的举例，可以由图像连接，
所以D项“You may connect poems based on wording or images(你可以根据文字或图像来连接诗歌)”符合文
意。故选D项。

first poem in your collection is crucial. It will tell your readers what they can expect from the collection and attract
them to continue reading. So remember to have your most powerful poem as the first poem in your collection.(就
像小说的第一行一样，你收藏的第一首诗是至关重要的。它会告诉你的读者他们能从这本书中得到什么，
并吸引他们继续阅读。所以记得把你最有力的诗作为你诗集的第一首诗)”可知，本段主要讲述了第一首诗

As early as the twelfth century AD, the settlements of Chaco Canyon in Mexico in the American Southwest
were notable for “their great houses” massive stone buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three
or four stories high. 71 While there is still no universally agreed upon explanation, there are three
competing theories.
One theory holds that the Chaco structures were purely residential. 72 Supporters of this theory
have interpreted Chaco great houses as earlier versions of the architecture seen in more recent Southwest
societies. In particular, the Chaco houses appear strikingly similar to the large, well known “apartment buildings”
at Taos, New Mexico, in which many people have been living for centuries.
73 One of the main crops of the Chaco people was grain maize, which could be stored for long
periods of time without spoiling and could serve as a long-lasting supply of food. The supplies of maize had to be
stored somewhere. 74
A third theory proposes that houses were used as ceremonial centers. Close to one house, called Pueblo Alto,
excavations of the mound revealed deposits containing a surprisingly large number of broken pots. 75 .At the ceremonies, they ate festive meals and then discarded the pots in which the meals has been prepared or
served.
A. Almost every structure houses hundreds of people.
B. Some experts think the Chaco structures were used to store food supplies.
C. Archaeologists have been trying to determine how the buildings were used.
D. The size of the great houses would make them very suitable for the purpose.
E. Such ceremonies have been documented for other Native American cultures.
F. Archaeologists identified an enormous mound formed by a pile of old material.
G. This finding has been interpreted that people gathered at Pueblo Alto for special ceremonies.
