专题十二 阅读补全(七选五)
Passage 1 话题:写作的价值 难度:易
We all do little things to boost the way we feel and think throughout
the day. Something as simple as taking a walk or eating a piece of
chocolate can brighten your mood almost instantly, thanks to certain
chemical reactions that occur in the brain. 1 If you're going through
something complex, you need a more permanent practice. That's where writing
comes in.
As Mental Health Awareness Month begins,it's worth learning about the
ways that you can use writing to support your mental well-being. 2
Use writing for mindfulness. Mindfulness is a tried-and-true technique
for improving mental wellness,but can writing have the same effect? 3
By focusing on a particular moment and getting it all out there on the
page, you can free yourself from any of the other concerns that are
crowding your mind. This way, you can use writing as an approach to
mindfulness and as a way of relieving stress.
Another benefit of writing is its ability to clear your mind of
worries, negative thoughts, or sources of pain. 4 Fortunately, writing
can speed up the process of restoring mental clarity. 5 People were
more likely to talk to others about a painful event after writing about it
privately,which powerfully suggests that writing can indirectly lead to
reaching out for support, which can mean even greater healing and relief.
Through the process of populating a blank page with letters and words,
writing can be a useful mental health tool that both records your
experiences and allows you to work through them.
A.Become more self-aware.
B.These pleasures are just temporary, however.
C.There's real power behind the pen—here's why.
D.Writing is also the best method of self-care treatment.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
E.Clearing your brain of negative thoughts can be really tough work.
F.Actually,the act of writing for a mere 20 minutes each day can work.
G.This is because writing tends to stimulate questions about your life and
direction.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章认为写作可以维持心理健康,并说明了原因。
1.B 根据上一句可知,选项B中的“These pleasures”是指像散步或吃一块巧克力这
样简单的事情带来的快乐,根据下句可知,这样的快乐并不持久,所以选项B切合文意。
2.C 根据前文可知,写作可以维持你的心理健康,对应选项C中的“There's real
power behind the pen”,根据后文“Use writing for mindfulness.”及“Another
benefit of writing...or sources of pain.”可知,后文是讲写作有什么好处,也就
是说笔的背后有真正力量的原因。空格处起到承上启下的作用。所以选项C切合文意。
3.F 上一句提问写作是否能改善心理健康,所以空格处应是对这个问题的回答,根据后
文“By focusing on ... as a way of relieving stress.”可知,回答是肯定的,所
以选项F切合文意。
4.E 上一句提到清除消极的想法,根据后文中的Fortunately可知,此处是指清除消极
的想法可能会很难,所以选项E“清除大脑中的消极想法会是一项艰巨的工作”切合文
意。
5.D 根据后文“People were ... even greater healing and relief.”可知,写作
是一种自我治愈的好方法,所以选项D“写作也是自我治疗的最好方法”切合文意。
Passage 2 话题:自我消遣的活动 难度:易
Spending a holiday alone can actually be more enjoyable than hanging
out with other people. 1 There are a few things you can do on your own
to make your holiday season special this year.
Stay in your pajamas (睡衣) all day. If planning to spend the day at
home, you don't need to bother with real pants. Put on your softest
sweatpants or your comfortable robe and wander around the house while
staying comfortable.
Sleep in. It's your holiday! 2 You can enjoy the extra rest and
return to your normal life feeling refreshed and energized.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
3 Speaking of sleep, why not catch up on it in the afternoon? When
the entire day is yours, you can use it however you please. If you're
feeling tired, take a quick rest in your bed or on your couch.
You could also try doing simple yoga. Even 15 minutes can help you feel
relaxed and centered. 4
Reach out to family or friends. If you want to see your loved ones but
you can't be there in person, a quick phone call or a video chat will
probably help. 5 And then spend some time talking about your holiday
traditions, even if you can't be together in person.
A.Do something meaningful.
B.Give you some emotional support.
C.Take a short sleep in the middle of the day.
D.And you might even find that you like it more.
E.Send them a text to see when they're available.
F.Turn off your alarm and let your body wake up naturally.
G.You can look up classes in your area, or try classes in your area.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。作者认为独自一人度假有它的好处,因此介绍了在一
个人的时候可以自我消遣的若干活动。
1.D 空格前一句开门见山点出主题:享受独自度假。空格后一句引出下文:一个人度假
可以做的诸多事情。因此空格处肯定也围绕这一主题, D 项中的“ i t ” 指代的就是独自
度假 , 上下文呼应 ,故选D。
2.F 根据第三段的主题句“Sleep in.”可知,本段在讲睡眠,空格处与后文有因果关

Passage 3 话题:手机的变化及重要性 难度:中
Mobile phones have become a large part of people's lives. No matter
where they're heading, people will take their mobile phones with them and
use them when eating, going to and from work, and before going to bed. 1
It's clear that mobile phones have completely changed our lives.
Mobile phones have experienced great changes. 2 However, compared
with other methods of contact(联系), such as public telephones or writing
letters, mobile phones enabled people to communicate in real time while
moving about. Later, it was realized that these large mobiles weren't
suitable to carry around. With the continuous development of technology,
the size of mobile phones is being gradually reduced.
3 After solving the problem of size, people began to think about how
to make mobile phones more convenient to operate. After all, with change in
size, the style of mobiles has also changed. Most phones were designed to
have fewer keys, and then no keys at all.
The invention of touch-screen phones came with even more changes. 4
However, it was the first iPhone developed decades later that really
promoted touch-screen phones and formed a trend. This mobile phone brought
the development of mobile phones to a new stage.
Nowadays, mobile phones are palm-sized. Touch screens have long been
standard on most smartphones and there are added functions. For example,
you can surf the Internet, watch videos, listen to music, play games, and
much more. It's because of these functions that mobile phones have become a
big part of our lives. 5
A.The human desire to explore is endless.
B.The earliest touch-screen mobile phone was produced in 1993.
C.At first, mobile phones were all large, heavy and inconvenient.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.Most people can hardly imagine living without their mobile phones.
E.There were no other functions included in mobile phones at that time.
F.Some people will even look down at their mobile phones when walking.
G.Mobile phones were invented so we could contact others anytime and
anywhere.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了手机的变化和手机对人们的重要性。
1.F 本段讲手机在人们的生活中占了很大一部分,人们使用手机很频繁, F项讲了人们
走路时也低头看手机,切合题意。
2.C 根据后文中的“Later, it was realized ...the size of mobile phones is
being gradually reduced.”可知,空格处表示刚开始手机很大,C项切合题意。
3.A 根据后文内容可知人们不断探索,A项引起下文内容,切合题意。
4.B 本段讲了触摸屏手机的发展, B 项中的“ touch-scree n mobil e phon e ” 与本段内
容一致,因此B项切合题意。
5.D 本段讲了现在的手机功能强大,是我们生活的重要组成部分,D项说明了手机的重
要性,切合题意。
Passage 4 话题:如何回答面试官的问题 难度:中
One of the questions commonly asked during a job interview is, “What
are your goals for the future?” It's a good way for employers to determine
if your career goals are a good fit for the company. Plus, it helps hiring
managers make sure that you actually have some goals. 1 You don't need
to know exactly where you're planning to be in five years, but you need to
be pointed in some direction.
2 As you know, new hires are expensive to train. So if you resign in
a hurry, they'll be right back to square one (回到起点).
The most successful candidates are the ones whose aims are in line with
those of the organization, even if they don't plan to spend their entire
career working for the same employer. 3 But it's important to convey
that your career goals are consistent with the company's path.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
The best way to respond to interview questions about your goals for the
future is to focus on the position and the company you are interviewing
for. 4 Knowing about the company's culture and business practices will
help you emphasize your ability to solve their problems.
Don't discuss your personal goals outside of work, such as having a
family or traveling around the world, in response to this question. This
information is not relevant and could knock you out of the opportunity for
the job. 5
A.Few employers expect lifetime commitment.
B.You should focus on your strong interest in the position at hand.
C.It will be a red flag if your goals have something to do with the job.
D.Employers want to be sure you won't move to another job right away.
E.This is why it's important to do your research before you arrive for the
job interview.
F.In other words, your answer reveals whether you have ambition and some
type of plan.
G.The employer is interested in what you'll look for in your next job but
not in private life.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了如何回答面试官的问题这一话题。
1.F 空格处是对前句的解释, F 项中的“ som e typ e o f pla n ” 和空格前的“ som e
goal s ” 相呼应 ,因此切合题意。
2.D 空格后的内容说明雇主不想要立刻会换工作的雇员,D项说明了雇主想要一个能干
时间长一点的员工,因此切合题意。
3.A A项“Few employers expect lifetime commitment” 与上文中的“ they don ' t
pla n t o spen d thei r entir e caree r workin g fo r th e sam e employe r ” 相互呼应 ,
符合题意。
4.E 前文提到对关于未来目标的面试问题的回复要集中于面试的职位和公司,因此设
空处表示这就是在面试前去做调查的原因。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
5.G G 项中的“ no t i n privat e lif e ” 与本段开头的“ Do n ' t discus s you r
persona l goal s ” 相一致 ,因此切合题意。
Passage 5 话题:放风筝的注意事项 难度:中
You've seen other people flying kites, watching their paper creations
float up into the clouds on a windy day. 1 Kite flying isn't hard, and
it's a lot of fun!
The first step is to get a kite and find a large, open area. Then wait
for a nice windy day. 2 Otherwise, kites can get hung up on either of
them. Parks with lots of grass and beaches are the great places to try kite
flying.
If you have a friend to help you, have one person hold the kite while
the other person holds the spool(线轴) of string. The one with the kite
should hold it overhead in both hands and throw it lightly up into the
wind. If the wind is strong enough, it will catch the kite and lift it up,
pulling the string tight. This works well on windy days, but what if the
wind isn't strong enough to catch your kite? Then you need to let out some
string and have your friend run with the kite behind him/her. 3
Once the wind catches your kite, start letting out string, little by
little. 4 It's somewhere between fifty and a hundred feet overhead.
Spread your legs to keep yourself firmly rooted to the ground, and hold the
spool with both hands. If it flies too high, you can reel in(往卷轴上绕起)
the string a little.
5 When the kite is close to the ground, have someone catch it so it
doesn't get torn or broken. Wind up the rest of your string and keep your
kite safe until the next time you're ready to fly it.
A.As you fly your kite, keep an eye on it.
B.Are you ready to give it a try yourself?
C.To finish flying, reel in the kite slowly.
D.Keep going till your kite is at the height you want.
E.With this added burst of speed, the kite should fly.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
F.Your perfect location shouldn't have any trees or power lines.
G.Keep flying your kite until you feel it's safe in the wind again.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了放风筝的注意事项。
1.B 上文提到“You've seen other people...a windy day.”,下文提到“Kite
flying isn't hard, and it's a lot of fun!”,所以空格处应该是过渡句。 B 项中的
“ yourself ” 和上文中的“ other people ” 相呼应 ,因此B项承上启下,符合语境。
2.F 下文提到放风筝的地点,因此本空也应与地点有关。F项说明了放风筝的地点要求,
符合语境。
3.E 上文提到在风力不大的情况下如何让风筝起飞,下一段开头提到一旦风筝起飞了,
就开始一点点放开线,这说明本空应为“在速度猛地增加的情况下,风筝会飞起来”。因
此E项符合语境。
4.D 由下文的“It's somewhere...overhead.”可知,本空应提到风筝要达到一定的
高度,因此D项符合语境。
5.C 由下文内容可知,本段在讲放完风筝后怎么让风筝落下, C 项引出了下文收风筝的
方法,符合语境。
Passage 6 话题:给高三学生的建议 难度:易
Hooray! I finished the College Entrance Examination at last! And the
hard time of Senior Three too! Senior Three is the best time of us. We are
young, healthy, lively, and energetic. 1 Not a day goes without endless
homework. Looking back upon the last year of my Senior High, I have some
advice to share with the will-be Senior Three students.
2 You may have wasted your time on games, playing or TV in the last
two years, but Senior Three is the year when you can make miracles! It's
impossible for you to make up for the wasted time in one week, one month,
even one term. But believe me, one year later, your insistence will pay
off.
3 Every minute counts. There is no doubt that you should absolutely
spend most of the time studying. You may feel tired and dull, but your will
is trained to prepare you for future competitions. Balance your time北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
between subjects. You may distribute more time to weak subjects, but still
leave time for your excellent ones. You should also balance your time
between study and rest. Don't forget to set aside enough time for sleep, or
your studying efficiency will go down.
Make friends with hard-working students. Get away from your old friends
who have given up. It's hard to form a good habit, but it's really easy to
develop bad ones. 4 Similarly, if the friends around you are all
focused on study, you won't be distracted.
Relax yourself. Long time of study and endless homework may drive you
mad. We see enough reports of students killing themselves for the stress of
study. Go around your campus and find the beauty of nature, listen to music
and talk with your friends, parents and teachers. 5 It does not only
build you up, but also serves as the best way to release your stress.
Just as the old saying goes, “No pain, no gain.” Believe you will
make it in the College Entrance Examination next year. Good luck to you, my
younger fellows!
A.Believe yourself.
B.Arrange your time wisely.
C.Have enough sleep.
D.Most importantly, do some sports.
E.It is also the hardest time of our life.
F.When you see your friends playing happily, you will easily follow suit.
G.Bad friends will pull you out of the classroom when you are studying.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章给即将进入高三的学生提出了四点建议。
1.E 根据上文“Senior Three is...and energetic.”和下文“Not a day goes
without endless homework.”可知,上下文语义并不一致, E 项承上启下 , 实现语义的转
折,另外,E项中的“also”也表明是对上文语义的补充。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
2.A 设空处为段落小标题,根据文中的“but Senior Three is the year when you
can make miracles”和“But believe me, one year later, your insistence will
pay off.”可知,本段的主题是:相信自己,坚持就能创造奇迹。
3.B 设空处为段落小标题,根据文中的“Every minute counts.”“Balance your
time between subjects.”和“You should also balance your time between study
and rest.”可知,本段的主题是:珍惜每分每秒,合理地安排学习和休息时间。
4.F 根据下一句“Similarly, if the friends...you won't be distracted.”可知,
上下文是类比关系,F项与下文一样,通过举例的方式来证明朋友带来的影响。
5.D 根据下一句“It does not only...release your stress.”和指代关系可知,代
词It应指上文提到的做一些能增强体质的体育运动, D 项中的“ d o som e sport s ” 正是
I t 的指代对象 ,上下文构成指代关系和逻辑上的顺承关系。
Passage 7 话题:好习惯的养成 难度:难
Children learn by example. It has been said that the values and ideas
we want to teach the children should be done in the early years. If this
teaching-learning period is handled responsibly by parents and guardians, a
lot can be achieved. 1 Simple politeness should be shown right from the
beginning. Parents must talk politely to their children and expect the same
from them. All rude responses must be firmly rejected.
2 This can be done by giving them simple duties as early as
possible. Duties can be as simple as putting toys away when the children
don't play with them. They can be taught to put away their clothes or shoes
in the respective places on a daily basis. Children are quick to learn. 3
Children should be taught to sit down and play quietly or read a book
if they can. In crea- ting this habit, parents play a vital role as they
also have to sit down and occupy themselves. 4 They want things to be
exciting and fast-moving. If parents themselves do not read or spend time
quietly, it is hard to expect the children to do so.
Of course,we must also realize that some children will be different.
5 They will want to test the limits set and want to be individualistic.
Parents may have to allow some space so that creativity and inventiveness北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
can be developed. While some amount of discipline is good,it must not be
allowed to destroy their imaginative nature.
A.It is not an easy task but it can be done.
B.Good habits can be taught in the early years.
C.Children must be taught to be part of the family.
D.In this fast world,everyone expects to be entertained.
E.Good habits formed during this time will stay for a lifetime.
F.They will not always follow what parents instruct them to do.
G.Children are not expected to do things for themselves in some homes.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家长如何给孩子做榜样,让孩子从小养成
良好习惯。
1.B 根据上文中的“...should be done in the early years”可知,孩子的好习惯
应该在早期养成,因此B选项符合语境。
2.C 根据后文中的“giving them simple duties...putting toys away... put
away their clothes or shoes”可知,家长通过尽早赋予他们简单的职责,教育他们分
担家务,所以C项“必须教育孩子们成为家庭的一分子”符合语境。
3.E 设空处前一句强调了孩子学得快,因此,下一句要强调学习效果,也就是掌握得牢。
所以E选项“这一段时间养成的好习惯可以持续一生”符合语境。
4.D 本段首句提到了“sit down and play quietly or read a book”,本段尾句也
提到了“read or spend time quietly”,空后一句却提到“be exciting and fast-
moving”,因此D选项“在这个快速发展的世界里,每个人都希望拥有娱乐时间”正好
起到了承上启下的作用。
5.F 设空处前一句提到“some children will be different”,所以后文介绍部分孩
子具体哪里不同,F选项“他们不会总是按照父母的指示去做”正是他们的不同之处,且
与下文相衔接。
Passage 8
What's in a name?
Some words sound like what they mean. And they could influence
everything from fictional depictions of aliens to your first impression on北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
a job application. But most words have no apparent connection to what they
signify. As the linguist Steven Pinker puts it, we call a dog “dog”
because everyone else does. And that's how it has to be. 1
That rule applies to most words, but not all. The words pop and murmur
sound like they sound. Try to shout the word whisper. Weird, right? 2 It
seems natural to associate the names of large animals, for example, with
low-pitched sounds: say, elephant, compared with mouse. Pinker and others
argue that iconicity is rare in language, but plenty of psychologists and
linguists disagree.
Beyond the debates, there are far-reaching implications for human
interaction. 3 People associate the “round” sounds in people's names
with one set of characteristics, and names featuring “sharp” sounds with
a very different set. “Anne tends to be conscientious, hardworking and
sensitive,” Penny Pexman, a psychologist at the University of Calgary in
Canada says. “Kate is expected to be extroverted, less conscientious, less
hardworking and less agreeable.”
Luckily, surveys suggest that the link exists only in the mind of the
person making it. 4 “You could construct a little bit of an unlikely
situation where people start to look like their names over time and maybe
people's personalities start to match their names through some sort of
congruency(一致性). But we didn't find that,” Pexman says. There's also no
evidence that people are basing their judgments on people they met
previously.
5 “We have videos of people being interviewed for jobs and we will
manipulate the names of those candidates before others evaluate them,” she
says.
“What's in a name?” William Shakespeare asked us in Romeo and Juliet.
“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Well,
perhaps not.
A.It is generally believed that names define who we are.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.People tend to expect one to have specific traits based on how one's name
sounds.
C.The English language has developed a rule of names reflecting people's
good qualities.
D.It would overwhelm our senses if every word we speak came with a deeper
meaning.
E.Such terms show sound iconicity, or a similarity between a word's form
and meaning.
F.There is no evidence that the Kates of the world are more extroverted
than the Annes.
G.Pexman will also examine how people's names could affect their chances of
being chosen after an interview.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章阐述了名字中所包含的意义以及进行的相关研究。
1.D 细节句。由设空处前两句(正如语言学家斯蒂芬·平克所说,我们称狗为“狗”,因
为其他人都这么叫。这是必须的。)可知,D项(如果我们说的每一句话都有更深的含义,
我们的感觉就会无法应付。)是对前句内容的进一步说明。故选D。
2.E 细节句。设空处前文内容是针对单词发音和单词含义之间的关系进行说明,E项
(这些词语表现出声音的象似性,或者一个词的形式和意义之间的相似性。)是对前文内
容的概括和说明。且E项中的“sound iconicity”与设空处前的“sound like they
sound”相对应。
3.B 过渡句。由设空处后句(人们将人名中的“圆”音与一组特征联系起来,而将具有
“尖”音的人名与迥然不同的另一组特征联系起来。)可知,B项(人们倾向于根据名字
的发音来期望一个人有特定的特征。)是后文内容的概括,引出下文内容。故选B。
4.F 细节句。由设空处前句(幸运的是,调查表明,这种联系只存在于制造者的头脑中。)
及上一段内容可知,前文是人的姓名与自身的特征相关联的看法以及研究结果,因此F
项(没有证据表明世界上的凯特比安妮更外向。)是对前句说明的结果进行解释。且F项
中的“Kates”和“Annes”对应前一段的“Anne”和“Kate”。
5.G 主旨句。由设空处后句(她说:“我们有参加工作面试的人员的视频,我们将在其他
人评估他们之前暗中操纵这些候选人的名字。”)可知,该段在具体说明姓名和面试被选北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
中的机会之间的关系。因此G项(Pexman还将研究人们的姓名如何影响他们在面试后被
选中的机会。)提出研究主题,引出下文内容。
Passage 9
How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the
following two ways.
1 . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these
things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make
money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And
sometimes things you like are better as hobbies.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn't sound so bad.
Maybe a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer? Or maybe that's out of your
educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. 2 but often
they are not something you're really passionate about. It's kind of like
just doing something because it's there.
However, there's another way that is perhaps better: 3 . For example,
taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a
great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into
government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you
live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or
find a cure for a terrible disease. 4 and if you choose one of them for
that purpose, you will feel a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn't how you serve the
world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled
with purpose.
5 .
A.These are all great choices
B.Think about what you like to do
C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will
make a living
G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along
than most people
答案
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与自我,主题语境内容为个人职业倾向和
未来规划。文章介绍如何选择对你富有意义的职业。
1.B 上文When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the
following two ways(当你考虑择业时,你通常会用以下两种方式来选择)说明接下来将
会分别介绍两种选择职业的方法。下文If you like writing or doing crafts, you
might consider these things(如果你喜欢写作或做工艺品,你可以考虑这些事情)说
明可以把自己喜欢做的事当成职业。B项Think about what you like to do(想想你喜
欢做什么)符合语境。
2.A 上文Maybe a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer? Or maybe that's out of
your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker?介绍了一些可
能的职业选择。结合下文but often they are not something you're really
passionate about(但它们往往不是你真正感兴趣的事情)可知A项These are all
great choices(这些都是很好的选择)符合语境。
3.E 根据上文However, there's another way that is perhaps better(然而,还有
另一种可能更好的方法),可知接下来要讲另一种选择职业的办法。下文列举了一些更有
意义的选择。E项Try to do something to serve a community or make the world
better(努力做点事情来服务社区或者让世界变得更好)承上启下,符合语境。
4.D 下文说明选择有意义的职业的好处。D项Each of these is just one of many
possibilities filled with purpose(这其中的每一种都只是众多充满意义的可能性
中的一种)符合语境。
5.G 上文说明选择有意义的工作带给你好处。G项If you choose a purposeful and
enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people进一步说明选择一

How to Level Up Your Self-Control
By definition, self-control is the ability to do something that
benefits your long-term goals, instead of something that might satisfy your
immediate desires. 1 —we end up sacrificing the well-being of our future
selves all too easily.
2 ?
Angela Duckworth, professor of psychology at the University of
Pennsylvania, says allocating resources between your present self and
future self is an ongoing struggle. For example, exhibiting self-control
over spending time on video games and social media, two of the most common
temptations(诱惑)of the current era, means battling against age-old
mechanisms in your brain.
If you're willing to look deeply into your tendencies and weak points,
you can recognize the handful of problems that you need to work on.
3 . To improve self-control at work, Duckworth first recommends
taking a future-oriented approach to your day, such as planning breaks and
the time for checking emails in advance.
The problem of looking at your cell phone too often, say, can be solved
by putting it on mute or, better yet, sticking it in your bag until lunch.
4 .
Finally, Duckworth advises laying a foundation of self-control. 5
because of too little sleep the night before, or an insufficient meal in
the morning. By practicing healthier living away from the workplace, you
can gather the strength and stamina(毅力)to help you control your worst
urges when it matters most.
A.One place to start would be the office
B.What problems do you need to work on
C.We've all experienced unproductive workdays
D.But for many of us, short-term satisfactions are irresistible北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
E.Why is exercising proper self-control so tricky for some, and how to do
better
F.If you can resist resigning you may achieve more
G.Removing the temptation from sight is key to ensuring you're faithful to
your mission
答案
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与自我,主题语境内容为丰富自我和完善
自我。文章主要介绍了自制力和如何提高我们的自制力。
1.D 空格前说自制力是做一些对你长期目标有利的事情的能力,而不是满足当前的欲
望,空格后说我们实在太容易牺牲我们未来的幸福,故D项“但是对于我们中的很多人
来说,短期的满足是无法抵抗的”符合语境。
2.E 第三段提到allocating resources between your present self and future
self is an ongoing struggle(在你现在的自己和未来的自己之间进行资源分配是一
个持续存在的难题),下文提到了提高自制力的方法,故选项E“为什么运用合适的自制
力对某些人来说是非常棘手的,并且如何能做得更好”符合语境。
3.A 空格后一句是具体表达在工作环境如何提高自制力。选项A“开始的地方会是办
公室”和空格后一句描述的工作环境相呼应。故选A项。
4.G 空格前一句提到太频繁地看你的手机这个问题可以通过把它放在你包里解决。选
项G“把诱惑从眼前移开是确保你忠诚于你的使命的关键”符合语境。
5.C 空格后because of too little sleep the night before, or an insufficient
meal in the morning(因为前一天晚上睡眠太少,或者早餐的不足)是对工作事倍功半
的原因的说明。选项C“我们大家都经历过没有成果的工作日”符合语境。
Passage 11
Music makes you more creative. 1 , they come up with more creative
solutions, according to researchers. It may be because music improves your
brain's flexibility. Another reason may be that it relaxes you enough for
the creative juices to flow. But don't play music too loudly.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Music can help during surgery. 2 . After surgery, it helps reduce
pain. An analysis of 73 studies confirmed that listening to music before,
during or after surgery reduces anxiety and pain levels, which in turn
means less pain medication.
3 . Studies have found that when you're running, biking or walking,
you'll go farther with music on. Music relieves your discomfort and
motivates you to stay on. The effect is so obviously great that the author
of a review examining the psychological effects of music on exercise called
music “a type of legal performance-improvement drug”.
Music aids sleep. Listening to music before bed can help you fall
asleep faster and wake up less often during the night. 4 . In one study,
seniors with sleep problems who listened to 45 minutes of soft slow music
before bed reported a 35 percent improvement in their sleep.
Music gets you to ignore the passing of time. Scientists have shown
repeatedly that people judge a period of waiting shorter when music is
playing. Businessmen use that to their advantage, playing music so you stay
longer and spend more. For instance, more drinks and food are sold in bars
and restaurants when music is played. 5 , grocery sales increase by 38
percent.
A.In this case, you'll feel more relaxed in the morning
B.And if the background music is slow
C.Then you play a piece of brief music
D.When people listen to happy music than when they sit in silence
E.When music is played varying from a tune to another
F.Music makes you get rid of the idea of quitting a workout
G.Listening to music before surgery has been shown to ease anxiety
答案
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与社会,主题语境内容为文学与艺术。文章
主要介绍了音乐的一些好处,包括听音乐会使人更有创造力、有助于实施外科手术、让人
更能坚持锻炼以及帮助睡眠等等。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
1.D 上文说音乐让你更有创造力,因此此处说当人们听着欢快的音乐时,他们能想出更
多有创造性的解决方法,故选D。
2.G 根据后文的信号词After surgery和before, during or after surgery
reduces anxiety and pain levels可知空格处应说明手术前的情况,故G选项“手术
前听音乐已被证明可以缓解焦虑”符合上下文语境。
技巧点拨 根据信号词可判断上下句之间的逻辑关系。如本题G项中的before与下文
中的After构成对应关系,据此可迅速确定答案。
3.F 根据后文Studies have found that when you're running, biking or
walking, you'll go farther with music on. Music relieves your discomfort
and motivates you to stay on可知,运动时听音乐能让人坚持更久。故F项“音乐能
让你打消放弃锻炼的念头”符合语境。
4.A 空格处和上文Listening to music before bed can help you fall asleep
faster and wake up less often during the night(睡前听音乐可以帮助你更快入睡,
减少夜间醒来的次数)是因果关系,故A项“在这种情况下,你会在早上感到更放松”符
合语境。
5.B 根据上文Businessmen use that to their advantage, playing music so you
stay longer and spend more(商家利用这一点,播放音乐,这样你待得更久,花得更多)
可推断,如果播放舒缓的音乐,杂货店的销售额会增加38%。故B项“如果背景音乐是慢
的”符合上下文语境。
长难句 An analysis of 73 studies confirmed tha t listening to music before,
during or after surgery reduces anxiety and pain levels, which in turn
means less pain medication.一项对73项研究的分析证实,在手术前、手术中或手术
后听音乐可以降低焦虑和疼痛水平,这反过来又意味着减少止痛药的使用。
本句为主从复合句,句中that引导动词confirmed的宾语从句,which引导非限制性定
语从句。

group. 1北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Care about your appearance.
Taking pride in your appearance is one of the simplest ways to improve
your social prospects and alter the way people think about you. You do not
have to wear expensive or fashionable clothes to become popular. 2
Be confident.
If you want people to like you for who you are, you have to also like
yourself. 3 When people notice the confident way you hold yourself,
they'll realize you are someone worth being around.
Join in.
4 Don't walk the halls with your head lowered or skip lunch because
you have no one to sit with; talk to people and get to know them. Show an
interest in what's going on around you. Take part in classes like art and
PE as these are often cooperative, team-building environments. Before long
you'll start to pick up on what people are like and make friends that share
common interests.
5
Spend time hanging out with a lot of different people. People who are

Passage 13
Zoo animals vs animals in the wild
Zoo animals usually live longer than their wild counterparts. This is
because they have access to medical care and better nutrition in zoos.
Moreover, there is a lack of predators(捕食性动物). 1 Elderly wild
animals lose their strength, ability to find and digest food and often lose
their social standing in their species' social structure. Zoos are learning
how to care for old animals.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Boredom is a big problem for animals in zoos and something animals in
the wild do not have to face. Animal experts believe that a small place
produces boredom. 2 They also provide companions and hide food so the
animals have to search for it as in the wild.
3 A case in point is the Asiatic wild horse. The species was hunted
to extinction in the wild. The entire world population now lives in zoos
and nature reserves.
Animals living in the wild may come into contact with people. The
animals may hunt livestock(家畜)or eat farmers' crops. 4 In good zoos,
people can see that these animals are not just able to make trouble, but
lead complex lives. This can help people save the animals and the habitats
needed to keep the animals alive in the wild.
Animals often reproduce better when they are in the wild. 5 One of
the remarkable examples is the female giant panda. Using artificial(人工的)
means has helped raise the worldwide panda population. Also, by trying to
recreate the animal's natural living conditions as much as possible, zoo
animals will breed.
A.The goals of zoos have changed.
B.However, some animals are the exception.
C.If they live in the wild, they have to battle against them.
D.As a result, they are considered harmful and are hunted.
E.Even so, it often makes people wonder if the animals live well.
F.For some species, living in zoos is the only way the species can survive.
G.So good zoos have removed all metal cages for those animals that used to
live in large areas.
答案
语篇解读 本文为说明文。文章分析了动物生活在动物园和野外的优缺点。
1.C C项中的them指代上一句中的捕食性动物。上句指出生活在动物园的动物们不会
遇到捕食性动物,C项是与上句的对比,意为“如果它们生活在野外,就必须跟捕食性动
物作斗争了”,故C项正确。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

活动范围的举措,故G项符合语境。
3.F 下文举了一个例子,提到一种马因为被猎杀,现在都生活在动物园或者自然保护区
中。F项符合语境,意为“对于某些物种来说,生活在动物园是它们能够存活下来的唯一
方式”。
4.D 上一句提到“这些动物可能猎杀家畜或吃农民的庄稼”,本句承接上文,D项“所
以,它们被认为是有害的然后被猎杀”符合语境。
5.B 前一句提到“通常动物在野生环境中繁殖得更好”,空后却用例子来表明人工繁
殖是促进大熊猫数量增加的有效方式,故B项“然而,有些动物例外”符合语境。

of her own pet food. Recently, I was lucky to interview her about healthy
eating. 1 . Here is what she said:

Passage 15
Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an
earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one
gets older, it might help slow down or even cease cognitive decline. 1
Many Americans don't read frequently. It's time to reverse this trend to
give your brain gray matter a good workout.
2 When you have some downtime—you're waiting for a friend, sleeping
lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn't require
your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your
favorite smartphone game. 3 While paper is still the clear winner in
the court of public opinion, science hasn't proven that physical books are
better than digital ones.
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A
study took place in a laboratory setting: Students all read the same text,
but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF
file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media
existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat
differently. 4
Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn't
dismiss paper, electronic, or audio books— 5 Don't be afraid to change
things depending on the occasion.
A.Audiobooks still affect your thoughts and feelings.
B.Go with what makes the most sense for your needs.
C.Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence.
D.This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio.
E.Keep a book, e-reader, or audiobook app on you as you go about the day.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
F.Despite this, the overall book-reading time for Americans is on the
decline.
G.However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white
pages.

teeth. He was pleased with their behavior, 4 . He decided he needed a
brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the toothbrush will go on sale this summer, for $99 to

Passage 18
Many health care workers know that washing hands is important to
prevent the spread of an infectious disease. 1 During a study conducted
by Nicas and Best at the University of California, Berkley, they counted
the number of times people touched their face with their hands. 2
Whether we are aware of our actions or not, most of us can agree that we
touch our face with our hands frequently enough.
Imagine that you are able to record a full day of your actions. Better
yet, reflect on what you did when you woke up yesterday morning. Let me
give you an idea of my previous morning. I was woken by the alarm clock at
6 am. 3 Then I checked my phone for messages, turned on the TV for my
morning news, started making my coffee and finally hit the shower. It
wasn't even 5 minutes from the time I awoke and I already touched different
objects. The point of this is to be aware that even in our homes we are
exposed to germs in places we don't realize.
Luckily, the human body has amazing defense against harmful germs. 4
Our white blood cells are like soldiers coming to the rescue.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of areas on our face that do not have the
protection of skin such as our eyes and mouth. So it's important to wash
our hands before dinner.
5 If you have children, it is even more important to set the example
because children are known to learn from adults. Let's start a good habit
of washing hands. As for your friends, don't be shy about checking to make
sure their hands are clean. Asking someone if they have washed their hands北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
is caring. Checking to see if someone has washed their hands will benefit
not only that person, but you and your family.
A.Our skin is the first line of defense.
B.Several minutes later, I turned off the alarm clock.
C.It is easy for us to admit that we wash our hands regularly.
D.They are more self-aware that handwashing should be practiced as needed.
E.Most importantly, it is our duty to set the right example to friends and
family.
F.They found that the subjects touched their face 15.7 times per hour on
average.
G.Do the rest of your family members, especially children, wash their hands
regularly?
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章讲述了洗手有助于预防传染病的传播。尽管人体对有害
细菌具有一定的防御能力,但是我们也要养成洗手的好习惯。

their face 15.7 times per hour on average.(他们发现实验对象平均每小时触摸脸
部15.7次)符合语境。故选F项。
3.B 细节句。B项Several minutes later, I turned off the alarm clock.(几分钟

Passage 19
What is leadership? Its qualities are difficult to define. 1
Good leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future
—not wedded to the past. They have a hunger to take responsibility, to
innovate, and to initiate. 2 They want to move forward to create
something new.
Good leaders provide answers as well as directions, offer strength as
well as dedication, and speak from experience as well as understanding of
the problems they face and the people they work with.
3 Leaders get commitment from others by giving it themselves, by
building an environment that encourages creativity, and by operating with
honesty and fairness.
Good leaders aren't “Lone Rangers(独行侠)”. 4 Leadership is the
catalyst(催化剂) for transforming those talents into results.
Good leaders are flexible rather than bossy(专制的). They believe in
unity rather than yielding. And they strive to achieve agreements out of
conflict. Leadership is all about getting people consistently to give their
best, helping them to grow to their fullest potential, and motivating them
to work toward the common good.
A good leader, an effective leader, is one who has respect. Respect is
something you have to have in order to get. A leader who has respect for北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
other people at all levels of an organization, for the work they do, and
for their abilities, desires and needs, will find that respect is returned.
5
A.But they are not so difficult to identify.
B.But here are some benefits to be successful leaders.
C.And all concerned will be motivated to work together.
D.They are not content with merely taking care of what's already there.
E.Good leaders make the right things happen when they're supposed to.
F.Good leaders don't force other people to go along with them, but bring
them along.
G.They recognize that an organization's strategies for success require the
combined talents and efforts of many people.

答案。
Passage 20
How to keep healthy family relationships
Exchange daily stories. As soon as you get home, show that you're
excited to reunite with them by immediately speaking with your family
members about each other's day. 1 , and share a story from your own day
with them. Sharing the stories of our daily lives allows us to be more in
harmony with our loved ones' lives.
Seek out younger family members as soon as you get home. Familial
companionship means a great amount to children. 2 .
Eat together. Have at least one meal with all family members present
once a week. Though simple,maintaining weekly meals can be a challenge with
children of different ages and working parents. Eat as many meals together
as possible.
3 . Don't feel as though a family meal must be formal or special.
Emphasize the fact that you're eating together, and that's what matters.
Have a backup(后备) plan. 4 . Understand that time spent with family
members may not go exactly as planned.
5 . Choose a separate night of the week to do something fun
together. Consider the following choices, and change from one activity to
another depending on your family's preferences, such as going bowling,
seeing a movie or going for a group hike.
A.Hug each other
B.Have a weekly family night
C.Choose one that appeals to all age groups

Passage 21
Learning English, or any language, can be a challenging but rewarding
experience. To make progress, you need to make a lot of effort and develop
the right habits.
●Make a plan and set realistic goals. Planning your learning day by
day and week by week can be rewarding and can make it easier to measure
your progress. 1 For example, you might aim to learn five new linking
expressions next week (realistic) rather than master academic writing
(extremely unrealistic).
●Record new vocabulary in an easy and practical way. As language
lessons are often based on a particular theme, it's a good idea to organize
vocabulary by topic. Experiment with different ways of recording北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
vocabulary, including word cards and mind maps, and see what works best for
you. 2
●Be active and manage your own learning. 3 Be determined to use the
language and grammar your teacher has presented. Making mistakes is a
natural part of the learning process, so don't let that stop you. By being
active and taking control of your own learning, you'll soon start to see
results.
● 4 Go through the notes you took in a certain class and try
memorizing as much as possible.Then, write to see how much you can recall.
Repeat the process until you've memorized all the things you set at the
beginning of the task.
●Find fun in English to watch, read and listen to. The English
language is truly global and the opportunities to read or listen to it are
endless. 5 Get into the habit of watching TV shows or movies, listening
to songs and radio shows, and reading books and magazines in English.
A.Remember where you get started.
B.Review self-study notes regularly.
C.This is especially true if you set realistic goals.
D.When in class, try to participate as much as possible.
E.However, it's crucial to make sure the topics are ones that interest you.
F.You should also take down the different forms, uses and pronunciation of
particular words.
G.To succeed in English learning, you also need to develop a good habit of
learning grammar.

绍了学习语言的几种好方法。
1.C 过渡句。C项中的“realistic goals”与本段的主旨句“Make a plan and set
realistic goals.”相一致;此外C项中的“This”指上句内容“Planning your
learning day by day and week by week...”,故答案为C项。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
2.F 细节句。根据本段的主旨句“Record new vocabulary in an easy and
practical way.”可知本段讲的是学习词汇的方法,F项(你还应该记下特定单词的不同
形式、用法和发音)属于学习词汇的方法,故为答案。
3.D 细节句。D项(在课堂上,尽量多参与)与主题句中的“Be active”相对应,故答案
为D项。
4.B 主旨句。根据其他主旨句的句型特点(都是祈使句),可知本题答案应该是A项或B
项。根据设空处后面的句子(复习你在某节课上做的笔记,并尽可能多地加以背诵。然后,
写下来看看你能回忆起多少。重复这个过程,直到你记住了在该任务之初所规定的内容)
可知答案为B项(定期复习自学笔记)。
5.E 过渡句。本部分的主旨句是:在观看、阅读、听英语中寻找乐趣。根据设空处前的句
子(英语是真正的全球语言,阅读或听它的机会是无数的)可知设空处要告诉读者在阅读、
听英语过程中,注意所读、所听内容要使你感兴趣,故答案为E项(然而,重要的是要确保
主题是你感兴趣的)。
Passage 22
Have you ever woken up worrying about an unfinished project, an email
that you forgot to send, or a meeting which you didn't have a chance to
schedule?
1 It turns out that we just need to tell our brains when we will do
what we need to do so they don't annoy us.
Researchers used to think that this low-level worry about unfinished
tasks was our unconscious mind trying to get things done by reminding us of
what we still needed to do. 2
But recent research suggests that simply making a plan to deal with an
unfinished task makes a huge difference in our ability to focus. When we
don't know when or how we will finish the things on our task lists, what
will happen? 3 This is because undone tasks impress us more. As it
turns out,our unconscious mind isn't actually urging us to do an undone
task right now,but rather to make a plan for when we will get it done. To
handle this, you can schedule a task on your calendar. 4 It seems that
our brain needs to let something go.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
5 So stop worrying about an undone to-do list of things that you
hope to accomplish in a given day or week. Instead, you should avoid being
distracted(分散注意力)by starting each day with a concrete plan for what
you will work on and when. You don't have to constantly make choices about
what to concentrate on:Just follow your schedule.
A.It is more about making lists.
B.It is vital to stay focused while making plans.
C.Or you can list it as an action task or a quick task.
D.When we have no specific plans, distractions certainly take over.
E.If your answer is yes,your brain is bothered by those undone lists.
F.The belief was that the reminders wouldn't stop until the tasks were
done.
G.Our thoughts will typically wander from our present task to our undone
tasks.

要说明了为未完成的事项制订具体计划的重要性。
1.E 细节句。设空处前为一个问句,E项中的“your answer”与前面的问句相对应,故
答案为E项;此外根据设空处前面的句子(你是否曾因担心未完成的项目、忘记发送的邮
件或没有机会安排的会议而醒来?)及后面的句子(事实证明,我们只需要告诉我们的大
脑我们什么时候会做我们需要做的事情,这样它们就不会来打扰我们)可知设空处填E
项(如果你的答案是肯定的,那么那些未完成的事项就在干扰你的大脑)。
2.F 细节句。F项中的“reminders”与上句中的“reminding us of...”相对应,故
答案为F项。句意:研究人员过去认为,这种对未完成任务的低层次担忧是我们的潜意识
试图通过提醒我们还需要做什么来完成任务。他们认为这些提醒直到任务完成才会停止。
3.G 过渡句。设空处是对前面问句的回答。根据设空处前的问句(当我们不知道何时或
如何完成任务清单上的事情时,会发生什么?)可知答案为G项(我们的心思通常会从当
前的任务转移到尚未完成的任务上)。此外根据设空处后的句子(这是因为未完成的任务
会给我们留下更深刻的印象)也可推出本题答案为G项。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
4.C 细节句。上句为“为了解决这个问题,你可以在日历上安排一个任务”,本句又介
绍了一种解决问题的方法,故答案为C项。

Passage 23
If you recently closed on a new house, you probably started house
hunting in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, hosting a
house-warming in 2021 is probably going to be harder to pull off. To help,
we've cooked up a few ideas how to hold a pandemic-era house-warming party.
The basics:Safe
Anything that you do during the pandemic should follow some simple
rules. 1 For example:wash your hands a lot, wear a mask in public and
maintain social distancing of at least six feet from people.
That last one makes a house-warming party almost impossible. Please
keep these safety measures in mind as you read on.
IDEA 1:Use the Zoom (云视频会议软件) call.
If we suggested having a house-warming party via Zoom one and a half
years ago, our editors would have thought we were crazy. 2 Zoom is old
hat at this point, but we still sort of like Zoom calls. They gave us a
chance to stay close with people we couldn't see in person. 3
This idea starts by creating a room-to-room video tour of your home,
showing your new place and highlighting why you're so excited to be living
there.
IDEA 2:Take it outside.
4 But now is not the time to have a large gathering indoors. Just do
it outside. If you have a yard, set up separate stations for barbecuing and
for friends to keep at a safe distance. You could even have a local
restaurant to cater it with takeout.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Lastly: 5
When the health risks are over, plan to hold a proper get-together,
remembering that you were creative enough to find a way to celebrate the
purchase of your new home during a global pandemic.
A.We get it.
B.You know the ones.
C.Today, not so much.
D.Recall it when possible.
E.The same can be true for your house-warming event.
F.For some, a party isn't a party unless it's a big one.
G.For entertainment, you can't get better at social distancing.

1.B 细节句。B项中的 the ones指代上句中的“simple rules”,此外下句给出的诸
如勤洗手、戴口罩及保持社交距离的例子也与“the ones”对应,故答案为B项。
2.C 过渡句。上句(如果一年半前我们建议通过云视频会议软件举办一个乔迁聚会,我

点,本句与上句形成对比,C项中的“Today”与上句中的“one and a half years

3.E 细节句。上句(它们给了我们机会可以让我们和那些我们不能亲眼见到的人保持亲
密的关系)介绍了Zoom call的功能,而本文介绍的是如何在疫情期间举行乔迁聚
会,Zoom call的这项功能也适用于乔迁聚会,故答案为E项。
4.F 细节句。根据下句中的“But now”可知本句与下句形成对比,根据下句(但现在不

5.D 主旨句。该空与上文两个小标题格式对应。从段落细节内容看,作者建议待疫情结
束之后,可以回味当初这场特别有意义的乔迁聚会,故答案为D项。
Passage 24
Why you're more creative in coffee shops
Some of the most successful people in history have done their best work
in coffee shops, Pablo Picasso, J.K. Rowling, Simone de Beauvoir and Bob北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Dylan, to name just a few. 1 , people across nations and centuries have
tapped into their creativity working at a table in a cafe.
2 . The combination of noise, casual crowds and visual variety can
give us just the right amount of distraction to help us be our sharpest and
most creative.
Some of us stick in our earphones as soon as we sit down to work in a
public setting. 3 . So, the jazz muzak, light conversation and barkeeper
banging coffee grounds out of the grinder aren't an annoyance—they could
help you come up with your next great work.
There's also the fact that in a coffee shop, we're surrounded by people
who've come to do the same thing as us, which acts as a motivator. You see
other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally
start working as well. 4 .
Visual variety is another factor that has an effect on people's
creative thinking process. And hitting different coffee shops each time
keeps things even more varied. People come and go. The daylight changes.
The aromas (香味) of coffee and food vary. 5 and don't deliberately
choose to work in this location because of them, these activities around us
prod our brains to work a bit differently than at home.
A.As these cafe settings can also benefit work groups
B.Just observing them can motivate you to work harder
C.There're many ways coffee shops start our creativity
D.However, background noise can benefit our creative thinking
E.But wearing earphones at your desk differs from doing that in a cafe
F.While we tend not to take conscious notice of these things around us
G.Whether they're painters, composers, philosophers, writers or rock
singers
答案
语篇解读 本文为说明文。主题语境为人与社会,主题语境内容为科学发现。本文介绍了
在咖啡馆工作更高效的三个理由。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
1.G 过渡句。根据设空处后的逗号及后面的一句完整的话可推知本题应为从句,空前句
子(历史上一些最成功人士的杰作是在咖啡馆里完成的,毕加索、J.K.罗琳、西蒙娜·
德·波伏娃和鲍勃·迪伦就是典型例子)与G项(无论他们是画家、创作歌手、哲学家、作
家还是摇滚歌手)中的“painters, composers, philosophers, writers or rock
singers”相对应,故答案为G项。
2.C 主旨句。由空后一句可知咖啡馆让人们最敏锐,最有创造力,主要体现在三个方
面:noise, casual crowds, visual variety,而C项中的many ways与之呼应,故C项
符合语境。
3.D 细节句。由上文可知有的人在公共场合会塞上耳机防止噪音,而由下文可知噪音
对人们有好处,所以前后意思发生了转折。而且D项中的“benefit”与下句中的“help
you come up with...”相呼应,故答案为D项。
4.B 细节句。本段主要讲casual crowds如何助推人们的效率。由上文可知当你看到
别人工作,且身处工作的氛围中,你自然也想工作。所以看到别人工作会激励你更努力地
工作,故B项符合语境。
5.F 细节句。本段主要讲视觉多样性对人们创造性思考的影响。由上文可知咖啡馆人来
人往、光影变化、咖啡和食物香气各异。虽然我们并没有刻意关注这些事物,也没有因为
它们而故意选择在这个地方工作,这些环绕着我们的活动还是刺激着我们的大脑以一种
与居家办公略有不同的方式运转,故F项符合语境。

The Changing Landscape of the Music Business
The music industry is in the process of a great change. In the past
decades, artists made money through physical sales of records, CDs, and
cassettes. While in recent years, downloading songs from services such as
Amazon or iTunes has become the most common way for people to purchase
music, the whole idea of buying music to own may be falling. To take its
place are Internet apps that stream music directly to listeners on their
smartphones, tablets, or computers. 1 While this is great for fans, who
now have access to millions of songs at the flick of a touch screen, it has
shattered the traditional model of how an artist manages his or her
career.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
With music lovers increasingly moving away from making one-time
purchases towards an all-you-can-listen-to service, what is a hard-working
artist to do? The main problem faced by many musicians is that payments-
per-stream of a song are much lower than what an artist would receive from
a download. 2 In November of 2014, award-winning musician Taylor Swift
pulled her entire music catalog from Spotify, a popular streaming app,
claiming that their business model suggests that music does not hold much
worth.
3 They claim that it offers smaller artists a chance for their music
to get heard by a wider audience. Brian Message, manager of the band
Radiohead, has come out in support of streaming services. He sees them as a
way for musicians and fans to interact.
Regardless of what artists may think about this change in the music
industry, there's no arguing that they need to adapt in order to make
money. 4
Corporate sponsorship can be a risky option for musicians. A band can
make much money by agreeing to promote a product or license its music for
use in advertisements, but there are many ways that this can backfire. When
bands work with businesses, they may lose the image they have worked to
create. 5 Artists must develop an image that appeals to their fans in
order to remain unique and authentic, or they risk striking the wrong
chord, which could leave them struggling to sustain careers in this new
business landscape.
A.Others have welcomed the idea of streaming music.
B.However, those forms of media are quickly fading away.
C.Some big-name artists have called attention to the issue.
D.The rules could be different for smaller bands just starting out.
E.Maintaining a fine image while working on a career is certainly tricky.
F.One major shift is the growth in the partnership between artists and
businesses.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
G.These apps are available either as free versions or as monthly
subscription services.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与社会,主题语境内容是音乐领域的发展。文章
介绍了音乐行业的格局随着互联网时代的到来而产生的变化。
1.G 细节句。设空处与其后句谈论的是同一话题——Internet Apps,G项中的These
apps对应前句中的Internet apps,而设空处后一句中的代词this指的便是从
Internet Apps得到音乐的方式。
2.C 细节句。本段的关键词是artist,由此可将答案锁定在C项和F项上。设空处前句
重点强调的是许多音乐家面临的主要问题是他们(由于大众在线听歌比下载音乐付费
少)获得的报酬更低了。设空处不仅要谈论到artist,还要延续前一句提出的“问
题”,C项中的the issue对应前句中提到的艺术家面临的问题。设空处后的句子虽然没
有关键词artist,但是以一个艺术家的例子(Taylor Swift)来证明报酬确实更低了。
3.A 主旨句。第二段和第三段对“在线听歌”这种服务方式的观点是相对的。第二段从
艺术家获取报酬更低的角度来体现“在线听歌”的弊端。第三段设空处后句中出现了
offers smaller artists a chance,本段重点在于另外一些人对“在线听歌”的积极
看法,A项可以代表本段的观点。
4.F 过渡句。此段起承上启下的作用,设空处要开启新的话题——音乐家和公司之间的
关系。这与F项中的the partnership between artists and businesses对应。
5.E 细节句。通过设空处前后句中出现的关键词“image”,可将答案锁定在E项。
Passage 26
词数 447
If you text often, you likely have a “texting style”. Do you often
use emojis? Or what about using correct punctuation (标点)? What do all
these texting habits say about you? To help you understand yourself, here
are some texting styles that can tell you a lot about your personality.
Do you always use emojis when you're texting? You're most likely
someone who is willing to show your emotions and is truthful. 1 To make
sure the other person doesn't get the wrong idea about your messages, you
make sure to express the tone of messages with an emoji, which can be often
used as effective signals in modern social communication.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
If you like to respond in one-word texts like a quick “Good”, then
you most likely have a more reserved personality, and aren't as open with
your true thoughts and feelings. Because you are not as open with your
emotions in texts, you may not care how lengthy your response is. But be
careful. 2
Do you value punctuation and grammar in your writing? This love of
grammar goes straight into your texts as well as your emails. This seems
like a great thing, doesn't it? But in texting, people seem to think
otherwise. Simply placing a period at the end of sentences in texts can
make you come across as untrustworthy to others. 3 With this texting
style, you are rooted in logic and always pay attention to the little
details.
Are your texts lengthy and thoughtful? 4 Similar to someone who texts
with perfect grammar, you are a thoughtful and detail-oriented person, who
enjoys deep conversations and likes things that are controlled and stable.
5 Which texting personality are you? Are you a mix of several types?
It's important to note that everyone has different ways of texting in
different situations. Everyone texts their colleagues in a different style
from their family or their friends. If you ever think someone may have left
you an unclear or rude text, it's better to just ask them in-person what
they meant.
A.Do you relate to any of these texting personalities?
B.Do you know that you and your friends may have different styles?
C.Such texts may also be rated as less sincere than those that do not.
D.You may be the busy type who doesn't have a lot of time to respond.
E.You're the type of person who understands the importance of context.
F.You want others to know how you're feeling when you're using a message.
G.If you're texting someone with a different text personality, they may
view your text as negative.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是认识自我。文章介绍了
一些发信息的风格,通过这些不同的风格,可以了解一些关于个性方面的信息。
1.F 细节句。本段中的主语全部是you,所以先关注所有主语是you的选项(只能排除C
项)。其次,本段中多次提到了message,这帮助我们锁定了F项。设空处前出现的show
your emotions与F项中的want others to know how you're feeling对应,所以可以
确定F项是正确的。
2.G 细节句。本段主要介绍了爱发简短信息的人可能性格更保守。段落的最后出现警告
(But be careful),说明设空处的内容与前面描述的内容(这类人可能不在乎回复内容
的长短)是相反的,即有些人(不这么发信息的人)可能就在乎甚至认为你的(短)信息是
一种拒绝(negative)的信号,所以应该选择G项。
3.C 细节句。设空处前一句中的untrustworthy与C项中的less sincere对应,此外C
项中句首出现的Such texts与前一句中的Simply placing a period at the end of
sentences in texts对应。
4.E 细节句。从文章的第二段开始,每段都介绍了一种发信息的风格,透过这种风格来
剖析发信息的人的性格特点。所以当本段第一句以提问的形式出现,就意味着这段要阐

Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem
It's often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a
suitable solution. Creative solutions require a change of perspective. 1
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based
on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to
change the order of the words in your problem definition.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
How you change the order of the words doesn't matter much, as long as
the key words are reversed. 2 Your challenge is “How do we make sure
that fewer people take cars to their work?”. Swapping the key words, you
could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take
people to their work?”. In this case, the first statement will make you
think of alternative means of transportation, like trains or bikes, while
the second statement will probably make you think of solutions like
carpooling—fewer cars for the same number of people.
Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using
this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether. 3
For instance, the question “How might we sell more washing machines?” is
not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with “washing
machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more
washing machines to young parents?” you can easily change it to “How
might we sell more young parents to washing machines?”. 4 You could
interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the young
parents to try it out”. Then, you could start communicating to potential
buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy
efficient washing machine.
As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way
of thinking. 5 However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will
“cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and,
potentially, lots to gain.
A.The second problem statement is much more logical.
B.Often it helps to add one more key word to the sentence.
C.Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.
D.A great way to do this is by “reversing” your problem statement.
E.For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in
your area.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
F.Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a
creative thought.
G.Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a
useful solution.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是完善自我。文章简要介
绍了逆向思维这种解决问题的思维方式,并阐述了它的好处和表现形式。
1.D 过渡句。通常情况下在第一段的最后一句设空,此句会起到开启下文的作用。第二
段第一句的主语是The reversal technique,说明上一段的最后一句中要出现关键词
reversal或它的同源词,还要提到与technique相关的表达。D项中的reversing是
reversal的同源词,A great way与technique对应。
2.E 过渡句。本段的第一句是方法(……只要把关键词颠倒过来),与设空处以及后面的
描述是总述和详述的关系,详述的部分希望通过一个具体的例子来教会大家怎么用这个
方法。所以设空处是一个转折点,提出我们来看一个例子(For instance)。
3.B 细节句。根据设空处后面的For instance可知,后面的例子是对设空处进行的展
开说明。例子中所用到的方法是加词(add words),这与B选项中的add one more key
word对应。
4.F 细节句。F选项与前后句主语不同,也没有相同的关键词关联。设空处是对本段提
出的方法的评价(unusual challenge),再结合全篇来看,解决问题是需要转变思维方式
的,此种方法可能会激发出有创造性的想法(stimulate a creative thought)。
5.G 细节句。However提示设空处是对首句的进一步解释说明,两句话关系紧密。设空
处前句阐述了有些逆转需要非常灵活的思维方式(很难做到),后句接着这个话题表明,
不是每个人都能把一个不合理的陈述变成一个有用的解决方案。

Blind Olympic Athletes Show the Universal Nature
Tune in to any sports coverage on TV, and you will see many athletes
proudly raise their arms and heads in victory, while a much larger number
hang their shoulders and necks in defeat. Studies have revealed why—they
are universal behaviours, performed by humans in response to success and
failure.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British
Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who
wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. 1 They
tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that
some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or
failure before.
The answer was Athens, during the 2004 Olympic Games. Its sister
competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind.
2 Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto compared
the body language of 108 competitors, 41 of whom had lost their sight, and
12 of whom were blind from birth. The photographer repeatedly took pictures
of these athletes after their competitions, and the researchers carefully
recorded the positions of their heads, arms and bodies. 3 The winners
tilted their heads up, smiled, lifted their arms and puffed out their
chests, while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of
losers.
4 Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these
ways still make exactly the same movements. And while it's possible that
parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions, it's
very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the
expansion or narrowing of the chest.
These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from
every part of the world. Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame
deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness, fear and
surprise. 5
A.They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets
of actions.
B.In fact, the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their
body language.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.Therefore, they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to
winning and losing.
D.The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on
careful observation.
E.The athletes' behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the
actions naturally since birth.
F.Analyzing the data, they found that the sighted and sightless athletes
behaved in almost exactly the same ways.
G.In particular, they wanted to know whether these expressions were
culturally determined and learned through observation.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是认识自我。一项研究发
现人们对成功和失败的反应是天生的,文章介绍了这一研究开展的过程以及研究的发现。
1.G 细节句。本段主要阐述Jessica Tracy和David Matsumoto的研究目的是什么,G
项中的They指代前文中的Jessica Tracy和David Matsumoto,而G项中的they
wanted to know...与前句中的who wanted to see...相对应。
2.C 细节句。C项中they指代前文中的many athletes who were born blind,正因为
这些运动员看不见,所以(Therefore)他们无法亲眼看到别人对赢得比赛或输掉比赛的
反应。
3.F 细节句。设空处前句提到摄影师在这些运动员比赛结束后给他们拍照,研究人员仔
细记录了他们头部、手臂和身体的位置,这么做目的就是要通过分析(Analyzing the
data)找出有价值的发现(they found that...),设空处后句具体描述了他们的发现。
4.E 主旨句。前一段的研究观察结果是有视力和失明的运动员行为方式几乎完全相同,
本段继续阐述他们的行为证明了这些动作方式是天生就有的,设空处后的描述均是对首
句的解释说明。
5.A 细节句。本文的主旨就是研究发现的结果——人们对成功和失败的反应是天生的,
与成功和失败对应的情绪是自豪和羞愧(pride and shame),所以这种自豪和羞愧的行
为也是天生的,这与A选项对应。

What Can We See in a Logo?北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
We see hundreds of logos on signs, vehicles, websites, and even on the
clothes we wear. All of these logos are designed to attract our attention.
1 However, recently research supports the idea that remembering what a
logo looks like is a very difficult task.
Researchers gave 85 students a simple assignment to draw the Apple logo
purely from memory. Surprisingly, only one student in the study could
accurately draw the logo from memory. 2 Researchers have developed a
theory that they think might help to explain this blind spot in our
memories.
Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize with a
quick glance. Yet the frequent exposure to these logos can actually make
our brains overlook them. This process is known as “attentional saturation
(注意力饱和).” 3
Even though the brain is accustomed to ignoring unnecessary details, it
is also programmed for recognition. When we see images such as logos over
and over again, we become familiar with them. This constant exposure leads
to something scientists refer to as gist (主旨) memory. 4 This general
sense of memory has its own benefits. In fact, familiarity with a popular
logo can even make people feel more comfortable about purchasing or using
certain products.
Logos are everywhere we look today. A fancy design or a thoughtful
color combination may be a good start for a logo concept, but there are
other factors to consider. 5 A clever design may be interesting, but most
people will forget the details—especially if our brains have anything to
say about it.
A.This may be inspiring to logo designers.
B.People will know the product behind the logo.
C.So why is it so difficult for people to recall the details of images?
D.They also help us remember a product or service connected to that image.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
E.It means that our brain remembers the basic idea without all of the
details.
F.Our brains actually signal us to ignore information we don't think we
will need to remember.
G.Logo designers need to know that people will only remember what they
believe is worthwhile.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与社会,主题语境内容是设计领域的概况及其
发展。研究表明,人们记住一个标识非常困难,文章解释了背后的原因以及这对标识设计
者的启示。
1.D 细节句。由设空处后的However可知,设空处应与其前面的句子话题一致。前一句
提到了设计标识的目的,设空处应该延续“标识的作用”这一内容,D项延续了前一句的
话题并且更进一步地阐述了标识的作用。
2.C 细节句。设空处与前后两句话是一个完整的逻辑关系,即“展示结果+提出问题+解
释原因”。设空处前的关键信息是“展示试验的结果”(只有一个人准确地画出了标识),
设空处应该针对结果“提出问题”(为什么人们很难回想起标识的细节?),设空处后的
关键信息是“解释原因”(有一个理论可能可以解释这个现象)。
3.F 细节句。通过此段中的关键词brains可以锁定E和F选项。而此段中的另外一个
关键词overlook让我们锁定了F选项,其与F项中的ignore对应。
4.E 细节句。此段的第一句话中再次出现了brain,说明此段与上一段都是在针对大脑
进行分析。本段中出现的details与E选项中的details对应,且设空处前出现的gist
memory(主旨记忆)与E选项中的the basic idea without all of the details呼应。
5.G 细节句。由设空处前出现的A fancy design以及设空处后出现的A clever

What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to
himself or herself. Self-esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such
as “I'm a failure” and “I'm beautiful”) as well as physiological
states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we
will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our
ability to enjoy them can suffer. 1
Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood.
It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults
with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them
having high self-esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had
achieved. 2 They likely experienced affection and were given enough
attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports
and were admired for it by peers.
3 As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or
abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were
given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In
some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their
shortcomings or bullied by peers.
It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be
appreciated they need to be perfect. 4 There are people who are
obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to
tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes these people have to
pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.
How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with
high self-esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low
self-esteem. 5 So if you struggle to reach out for assistance, it could
be rooted in your low self-esteem.
A.There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.
B.When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of
it.
C.Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work
on it.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
D.People with poor self-esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the
opposite.
E.This creates an image in their mind that without accomplishment they are
worthless.
F.They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success
doesn't define them.
G.High self-esteem enables you to ask for help and support from the people
around you when you need it.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是认识自我与完善自我。
文章指出了高度认可自我和自卑的表现以及它们形成的原因,强调了自尊对健康的人际
关系的重要性。
1.B 细节句。第一段设空处前的“The more...”与设空处前一句形成对比,前面阐述
了当我们越是相信自己就越能自我满足,而后面则阐述我们不相信自己的结果如何,与
前面形成对照。设空处承接上一句中的“不相信(认可)自己”继续阐述,所以B项中的
start to doubt what's important in life与其对应。
2.A 细节句。从设空处前一句中的For instance开始到本段最后一句话在举例子来说
明前面提到的“拥有强烈自尊心的成年人是从小培养起来的,有很多方法可以帮助他们
成为拥有强烈自尊心的人”。A项中提到的“别人会以尊重的方式和他们谈话”与设空
处前后句提到的“受表扬”“得到足够关注”都是可以帮助他们培养强烈自尊心的方
法。
3.D 过渡句。设空处前一段关注的是高度认可自己的人,而设空处后句(当他们还是孩
子的时候,他们中的许多人都受到了这样或那样的批评、吼叫或虐待。)与上一段正好相
反,关注的是缺乏自尊心的人,所以设空处起承上启下的作用。
4.E 细节句。设空处前句指出这些成年人也认为为了得到赞赏他们需要完美,设空处继
续此话题进行阐述,E项中的“没有成就,他们就一文不值”与前句匹配。
5.G 细节句。设空处后出现的So说明设空处与后一句是因果关系,后句中的reach out
for assistance与G项中的ask for help and support对应。
Passage 31
词数 479北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
You're faced with a lot of decisions in everyday work. There are
multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even
burn out trying to decide what comes first. 1
If you're going to think better about how you prioritize (以优先顺序排
列) tasks, you have to invest a little time away from your to-do list.
Here's the thing:what you work on confirms your values. You may think it's
no big thing to work overtime for a little while, but something will be
sacrificed with this decision. If you're a parent, you might spend less
time with your kids. Similarly, if you choose not to work much or
effectively, you're deciding that your values lie outside your career. 2
Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of the
things you care about. This could be:helps the community, makes money, and
things you find personally fulfilling. Then place them in the boxes and see
how many of the boxes each one takes up. Anything that fills just one box
has to be reconsidered. Anything that fills nothing should not be
considered at all. 3 From here, the rest of the prioritization gets a
little easier. You now have a better idea where the efforts are really
paying off. You also know when you are wasting your own time.
In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should
be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small. 4 Other people
are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow. These
are actually easier to prioritize. Then break down large tasks into smaller
pieces. That helps put things in order. Part of the reason we do the small
things first is that being productive feels good. Acknowledging
accomplishments makes you more likely to keep going and pushes you through
the more complicated tasks.
5 Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak. Be
aware when you're more productive for social activities and when you're
better off. The more you study yourself, the easier planning becomes.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Now that you have your priorities in order, go ahead and you will boost
your productivity.
A.You can also prioritize based on energy levels.
B.The good news is that some tasks can keep you motivated.
C.So how can you figure out what's most important to work on first?
D.This activity allows you to see where you really want to invest your
energy.
E.If you want to make a new list, you need to turn to your colleagues for
help.
F.There are some tasks that are pretty straightforward and you need to do
the things.
G.Where you invest your time is not just about what you value but also what
you don't value.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是丰富自我。文章简要介
绍了任务排序的策略和方法。
1.C 过渡句。第一段第一句就提到了decisions,设空处前句中又提到trying to
decide what comes first,因此设空处的内容要与关键信息对应,即C项中的figure
out what's most important to work on first。
2.G 总结句。根据前文内容Here's the thing:what you work on confirms your
values.以及本段设空处前举的例子可知,该段具体说明价值是由什么决定的。G项(你
把时间投资到哪里,不仅说明了你重视什么,同时说明了你不重视什么。)是对全段内容
的总结。
3.D 细节句。本段介绍了一种通过把任务放在盒子里进行任务排序的方法,并详细介绍
了操作步骤。设空处选择D项(这个活动可以让你看到你真正想把精力投入的地方。)来
体现这个方法的好处,其后一句(由此,剩下的优先排序就变得简单点了。)是对D项内容
的延伸。
4.F 细节句。本段中反复出现的关键词是tasks,由此可以锁定B和F项。根据设空处前
后句可知此处在阐述如何对任务进行分类,F项匹配。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
5.A 主旨句。由设空处后句(注意你的能量水平何时高,何时弱。)以及该段内容可知,该
段在介绍与能量水平相关的任务排序方法。因此A项(你也可以根据能量水平来划分优
先级。)为该段主旨。

Five Established Memory Boosters
Can't remember where you left your car keys again? 1 And as
smartphones and tablets make it possible to outsource memory storage to our
devices, the act of forgetting may be easier than ever. But scientists are
still discovering how everyday actions can lead to enhancements in our
overall memory capacity. Here are a few simple tips for mastering your
memory:
GET SOME SLEEP. As we're sleeping, our brains change recent experiences
into long-term memory, a process known as consolidation. 2 A 2014 study
found mice that slept after acquiring a new task were able to preserve the
memory better than their counterparts lacking in sleep.
EXERCISE REGULARLY. If you need another reason to hit the gym, regular
exercise—specifically, aerobic exercise—has been shown to enhance memory
recall, particularly in young adults. For older adults, it can even put off
brain shrinkage.
EAT MORE BERRIES. 3 A growing body of research suggests that snacking
on strawberries, blueberries and blackberries can boost the brain's
communication pathways. And eating berries, according to a 2012 study,
could actually slow memory decline caused by aging.
SAY IT OUT LOUD. 4 But researchers have learned that saying them out
loud—rather than reading information silently—can result in a major
memory upgrade. If you're feeling shy, you can also try typing or writing
it out, too.
GO TO YOUR MEMORY PALACE. 5 One of these is the method of loci (轨迹
记忆法), or the visualizing of information as major stops along a mental
journey, like an imaginary walk through your childhood home. A 2017 study北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
found that this technique actually reshapes different networks of the brain
to better support memory.
A.Remembering new concepts isn't always easy.
B.And a good night's sleep can help you learn, too.
C.Sufficient amounts of vitamin B2 can improve your memory.
D.Changing habits is hard, but having more fruit doesn't sound so bad,
right?
E.And we are beginning to understand the importance of sleep to overall
health.
F.Strategies for supercharging our memories have been around since ancient
times.
G.With numerous businesses to deal with in our brain, it's easy to let a
few things slip through.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是完善自我。文章简要介
绍了五种被认可的记忆提升方法。
1.G 细节句。设空处前一句通过一个日常生活中的小例子说明人们经常会忘掉一些事,
这与G项中的it's easy to let a few things slip through匹配。第一段中先说明
此现象,再告诉读者提升记忆力的方法。
2.B 细节句。该段提出的方法与睡眠(sleep)有关,根据关键词sleep和下文的例子可
以锁定正确答案为B项。
3.D 过渡句。该段提出的方法与吃浆果有关,D项中的fruit对应中心句中的BERRIES
以及后面出现的strawberries, blueberries and blackberries。
4.A 细节句。该段提出提升记忆力的方法是“大声说出来”,设空处后也指出大声将它
们念出来记得更牢,它们(them)指代的应该是设空处提到的东西,且设空处后出现But,
表转折,所以应该选A项。them指代A项中的new concepts,先提出记住新概念并不容
易,再给出解决办法——大声将它们念出来。
5.F 细节句。设空处后句出现的the method of loci(轨迹记忆法)和最后一句中出现
的technique与F项中的Strategies(策略)对应。且设空处后句中的One of these对
应F项中的Strategies for supercharging our memories。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

People Who Can't Count
A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical
inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no
simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability
are usually labelled unintelligent.
So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most
people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. 1 For
example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how
many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is
where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or
four similar things, can immediately recognise them.
2 They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes
five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more
objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not
developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers.
There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for
dyscalculics. 3 If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering
from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never
know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take
them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics
behave oddly in social situations. 4 This poor ability can explain why
they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they
need for their holiday.
On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People
suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does
not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire
language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have
no problem learning to read or write. 5
A.Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.This disability scares children away from learning mathematics.
C.They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of
objects.
D.It is quite reasonable for dyscalculics to solve this kind of specific
problem at any time.
E.They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they've got left
after a shopping trip.
F.We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general
indication of intelligence.
G.This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and
remembering the order in which things have happened.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是认识自我。文章简要描
述了有计算障碍的这一类人在不同方面的特征。
1.C 细节句。设空处前提到有计算障碍的人无法识别三个或四个物品,后面的例子(For
example)解释了这些人就算面对数量很少的物品时,也必须一个一个地数,即通过例行
数数才能知道有几个物品,C选项的go through the routine of counting与前后句要
表达的意思匹配。
2.A 主旨句。此段列举了有计算障碍的人的两个困难,设空处是第一个困难,后面句子
当中的two and three makes five与A项中的using numbers对应。
3.G 细节句。该段首句提出,有计算困难的人在抽象时间概念上也有问题,根据关键词
time,可知G项中的in reading schedules and remembering the order in which
things have happened与其匹配。
4.E 细节句。由设空句后面的This poor ability can explain why可知,设空处与后
一句联系紧密,E项中的how much they should tip the waiter or they've got
left after a shopping trip对应后一句中的how much change they are due or
what kind of budget they need for their holiday。
5.F 总结句。虽然前文指出有计算障碍的人有很多问题,但此段也强调这些人也有擅长
的部分,设空处希望读者明白,计算障碍只是一种学习障碍,与智力无关。

Poor Sleep and Loneliness:
A Vicious Cycle?
The feeling of being lonely is the sense that you have less social
contact with others than you want. It is not quite the same as the amount
of social contact you have. Some people don't engage that often with
others, but they are perfectly fine with that, and so they don't feel
alone. 1 Being lonely is associated with poorer psychological health.
One area of research has focused specifically on the relationship
between loneliness and sleep. There are several inter-related questions:Is
feeling lonely related to the quality of people's sleep? What aspects of
sleep are related to loneliness? And does loneliness cause sleep problems,
or do difficulties with sleeping lead to feelings of loneliness? 2
The relationship between loneliness and sleep was explored in a paper
by Melanie Hom and Caol Chu in the September 2020 issue of Clinical
Psychological Science. They analyzed the data of previous studies relating
sleep quality to feelings of loneliness. 3 This relationship is stronger
for insomnia (失眠症) than for sleep complaints like nightmares. In
addition, the more loneliness people express, the less effective they think
their sleep is.
Although poor sleep and loneliness are closely related, it is hard to
determine whether loneliness causes sleep difficulties or the reverse (相
反).
4 It is because you can look to see whether sleep difficulties at
one time predict later feelings of loneliness or whether loneliness early
on predicts later sleep difficulties. Interestingly, sleep problems
predicted later loneliness and loneliness predicted later sleep
difficulties. However, the connection between earlier sleep difficulties
and later loneliness was generally stronger than that between earlier
loneliness and later sleep difficulties. This pattern suggests that there北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
may be a vicious cycle, though, in which poor sleep can increase feelings
of loneliness, which can in turn increase sleep difficulties.
If you are someone who has trouble sleeping, be aware that poor sleep
lowers your resilience (复原力) overall. Among other things, it may make it
harder for you to appreciate the social contacts you have. 5 That added
social engagement just might have a positive impact on your future sleep.
A.Long-term studies that follow the same people over time help.
B.If you have difficulty in social engagement, you may feel lonely.
C.Other people may spend a lot of time with others, but still long for
more.
D.These issues are important because poor sleep can affect psychological
health.
E.To solve the problem, you should monitor your sleeping quality and
physical health.
F.If you have trouble sleeping, try spending more time reaching out to
friends and loved ones.
G.The results indicate that the more sleep difficulties people express they

Passage 35
词数 387
Have you ever been labeled a “perfectionist”? Or do you consider
yourself to be one? It's attractive to see perfectionism as a positive
quality—it shows that we pay close attention to detail and get things
right! And, it is often viewed as a strength that helps people to produce
high-quality work. 1 It can damage self-esteem, cause relationship
problems, and, in extreme cases, it may even lead to serious health
problems. If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, the
following strategies can help you to lessen its negative effects.
Set realistic goals. 2 Instead, learn to think about your most
important life and career goals. Then, break them down into smaller steps.
Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you'll also
experience the thrill of achieving them.
3 If you're feeling anxious or unhappy about a task, they may be
telling you that you're trying to achieve the impossible. And adjust your
targets accordingly! Perfectionists are often likely to start negative
self-talk. If you catch yourself doing this, stop! Try using thought
awareness to question your negative thoughts and add some positivity!
Focus on the bigger picture. Perfectionism can cause “tunnel
vision”—when you focus on one small part of something but ignore the
rest. You might, for instance, focus on getting a minor part of a
presentation right, like the special effects, instead of concentrating on
the meaning that you are trying to deliver. Remember to keep your focus on
the bigger picture. 4北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Relax and go with the flow. The pursuit of perfection can make it
extremely difficult to relax. And perfectionists prefer to maintain focus
and to stick to their carefully laid plans. But relaxation isn't just
necessary for a healthy life. It can also improve your productivity and
well-being. And you'll be better at keeping perfectionism under control if
you're feeling rested, clear-headed and happy. 5 Get outside, be open to
new experiences and new people, make use of relaxation techniques, and
recognize when you need to switch off.
Most of all, don't allow perfectionism or fear of failure to stop you
from experiencing new things. Be open to new ways of thinking, new people,
and new experiences. You might just find that letting go actually boosts
your well-being, your relationships, and your performance.
A.Listen to your emotions.
B.So, take regular breaks at work.
C.Seek advice from qualified health professionals.
D.Your failings will seem less significant and you'll reduce the urge to be
perfect.
E.However, when perfectionism gets out of control, it can do more harm than
good.
F.Perfectionists often set objectives so high that there's little hope of
ever achieving them.
G.If you're afraid to make mistakes, it's difficult to generate new ideas
and seize opportunities.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境为人与自我,主题语境内容为完善自我。文章介绍了
几种减少完美主义所带来的负面影响的办法。
1.E 过渡句。由设空处前文提及的完美主义的优点以及设空处后句提到的问题可知,设
空处应起到从“优点”过渡到“缺点”的功能,E项用However表示设空处前后内容的
对立,E项中的more harm对应了后面的内容(损害自尊,引起人际关系问题,导致严重的
健康问题)。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
2.F 细节句。根据第二段主旨句Set realistic goals.(设定现实的目标。)可知,本段
重点在说明减少完美主义所带来的负面影响的第一个方法——设定现实的目标。F项中
的set objectives与Set...goals对应。
3.A 主旨句。根据上一段和下一段的首句可知,中间几段均是建议,且首句均以祈使句
的形式提出核心的方法。设空处后句的anxious or unhappy与A项中的emotions对应。
4.D 细节句。本段重点强调你需要把注意力放在大局上,避免“隧道视野”,你的缺点
(Your failings)就是大局中的一小部分,所以缺点看起来也就没那么重要了。
5.B 细节句。本段提出放松会有助于提高工作效率,所以建议工作中也要适当休息,所
以选择B项。
Passage 36
词数 398
Most people admit extreme nervousness at even the thought of giving a
speech. 1 Through speaking, we gain the power to share what we are
thinking with others.
Actually, not only do most beginning speakers suffer anxiety at the
thought of speaking in public, but even powerful speakers like Abraham
Lincoln and Franklin D.Roosevelt were nervous before speaking. 2 Some
people tremble, sweat, and experience shortness of breath and increased
heartbeat. As they go through their speech, they may be so preoccupied with
themselves that they lose contact with the audience, jump back and forth
from point to point, and on occasion forget what they have planned to say.
3 And they still go on to deliver a strong speech. The secret is not to
get rid of all of your feelings but to learn to channel and control your
nervousness.
Very few people are so bothered by anxiety that they are unable to
proceed with the speech. 4 Why? Because you must be a little more aroused
than usual to do your best. A bit of nervousness gets the adrenaline (肾上
腺素) flowing—and that brings you to speaking readiness.
Many speakers worry that others will notice how nervous they are—and
that makes them even more self-conscious and nervous. A young woman
reported that she broke out at home before each speech. She was amazed when北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
other students said to her, “You seem so calm when you speak.” 5 Once
you realize that your audience does not perceive your nervousness to the
degree that you imagine, you will remove one unnecessary source of
anxiety.
The more experience you get in speaking, the better you become at
coping with nervousness. As time goes on, you will come to find that having
a group of people listening to you alone is a very satisfying experience.
A.The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
B.In fact, it would be harmful if you were not nervous.
C.Try getting feedback from your listeners after a speech.
D.The difference in nervousness among people is a matter of degree.
E.Yet you must learn to cope with nervousness because speaking is
important.
F.Others, however, may get butterflies in their stomachs and feel weak in
the knees.
G.Perhaps the most important time for coping with nervousness is shortly
before the speech.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境为人与自我,主题语境内容为完善自我。文章通过举
例说明了如何应对演讲时的紧张情绪,以及适度紧张对演讲的益处。
1.E 细节句。设空处前句提出大多数人一想到要演讲就感到极度紧张,而设空处后句指
出通过演讲我们获得了与他人分享我们的想法的能力,这说明即使紧张,演讲还是会带
给我们益处,为了获益,需要学会克服紧张,E项符合语境。
2.D 主旨句。设空处前提出无论是谁演讲前都会紧张,设空处后描述了不同的人在演讲
时紧张的表现也不同。因此设空处是对后面的具体描述的概述——人与人之间对于紧张
的不同表现只是程度的问题。
3.F 细节句。第二题后提到Some people..,描述一些人紧张时的表现,此空则是对另
外一些人紧张时的不同表现进行描述,F项中的Others与Some people对应。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
4.B 细节句。本段最后一句指出一点点紧张会让肾上腺素分泌,这会让你做好演讲的准
备。设空处后的Why将前后句的逻辑串联在一起,由此可以推断出,设空处提出演讲时不
紧张未必是好事,下文对此进行了解释说明。
5.C 细节句。设空处是对前面出现的例子引出的结论性建议——试着在演讲后从听众
那里得到反馈。C项中的listeners与设空处后的audience对应。
Passage 37
词数 409
Farms of the Future
Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050,
almost 80 percent of the earth's population could live in cities. The human
population could increase to 9.1 billion yet the amount of land available
for farming will be the same. 1
Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally
friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high
costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these
skyscrapers to grow crops. 2
Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would
be grown with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional
farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by
taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use
of heavy farming equipment. 3 These have been well recognized.
Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods are
available all year round. Indoor farming could produce crops constantly and
crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or
flooding. In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling
insects would be minimal.
4 They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass
building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough.
The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not
produce as many or as high quality vegetables. 5 They would need
additional light sources.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the
planet's need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the
farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but
the best ideas could be yet to come.
A.Still, there are some people who are critical of vertical farms.
B.That is where vertical farms are often needed for year-round crops.
C.So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big
problem.
D.For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for
vertical farms.
E.Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions
in big cities.
F.Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of
transporting food over distances.
G.They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our
thinking from out to up.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境是人与社会,主题语境内容是社会进步与人类文明。
文章介绍了未来城市里的垂直农业。
1.C 过渡句。设空处前句提出人口可能增加到91亿,但可供耕种的土地数量将是相同
的,第二段首句出现了解决办法(Vertical farms...could be the solution.),这说明
设空处提出了粮食需求将会是个大问题。
2.G 细节句。设空处前两句中提到专家认为解决粮食问题的办法是——利用摩天大楼
种植农作物(关键词:experts,skyscrapers,grow crops),G项中的They指代
experts,from out to up 指从“户外耕地”到“摩天大楼上”。
3.F 细节句。由本段第一句话可知此段主要阐述垂直农业的优势,尾句中的These指代
上文中提到的优势,因此设空处的描述与垂直农业的优势有关,F项符合本段主旨。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
4.A 主旨句。此段与上一段内容对立,讨论了垂直农业的弊端,与第三段结构类似,首句
是主旨句,提出一些人对垂直农业持不赞成的(critical)态度。
5.D 细节句。本段讨论的是垂直农业的弊端,第二句中提出自然光源不够(...get
natural sunlight..., it wouldn't be enough.)。设空处后一句再次提到需要额外光
源(need additional light sources),D项中的natural light与关键信息对应。
Passage 38
词数 411
What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from
actions and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? Briefly,
the longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on
your actions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best.
1
You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and,
no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which
your heart and respiratory system (呼吸系统) recovers after exercise.
Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you
return to calm, the healthier you will be.
2 They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed
opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance.
Similarly, imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. 3
You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a full
stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one.
Although the next sentence is related to the last, it is not affected by
it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
So, it is unnecessary to live your life in the past. 4 Thoughts of
the past shouldn't be allowed to reduce your personal best. Being present
is a gateway to recover quickly.
5 Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to
bed, look at your progress. When you are lying in bed, you shouldn't blame
yourself for having done this wrong or not having done that better, but
look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
after an incident. In this way, you are taking control of your life and
achieve the aim:reduce the time spent in recovery.
A.You're undertaking real changes here.
B.Remember:Rome wasn't built in a day.
C.Here are some cases where you can learn about it.
D.Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability.
E.Instead of the past, it is the present that you have to focus on.
F.The best example of this behavior is found with professional
sportspeople.
G.It's said that the average time for sportspeople to win the game is 30
minutes.
答案
语篇解读 本文是说明文。主题语境为人与自我,主题语境内容为积极的生活态度。文章
介绍了恢复速度这一概念,并说明了恢复速度快的好处以及如何提高恢复速度。
1.C 过渡句。第一段的尾句通常起到开启下文的作用,下文展示的不同案例与C项中的
some cases对应。
2.F 过渡句。F项中的this behavior指代上一段的描述,sportspeople与设空处后一
句中出现的game呼应。
3.D 细节句。前面的an actor in a play和后面的script与D项的play your part
对应,本段最后一句中的to the best of your ability与D项中的to the best of
your ability对应。
4.E 细节句。本段在提到past的时候都是否定的态度(unnecessary,shouldn't be
allowed),而提到presence则是肯定的(gateway to a quick recovery),这与E项对
应。
5.B 主旨句。由设空处后两句(每天反思你的恢复速度。每天睡觉前,看看自己的进步。)
可知,本段讲述的是加快我们的恢复速度是需要每天的付出的,而B项(记住:罗马不是
一天建成的。)可以作为本段主旨,引出下文,来具体说明恢复速度是需要我们一点一点
来提高的。
Passage 39
词数 356北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Do you love food? Whether you're a foodie or someone who just likes
eating, there is so much to choose from. We know that too much of the wrong
kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food
allergy means that eating certain things can actually be harmful. Such
cases may seem uncommon. 1
An allergy is caused by the immune (免疫的) system fighting substances
in the environment. 2 It means that people have to follow strict
dietary restrictions, otherwise their lives may be put at risk. Allergy
specialist Dr. Adam Fox says, “If you look back over, say, 30 or 40
years... there are much more serious allergic problems around now than
there were.”
3 Last year a teenager died after suffering an allergic reaction
from eating a piece of bread containing peanuts. This led to a call for
better food-labeling laws.
Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting
children. 4 Dr. Alexandra Santos from King's College London says, “Food
allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in
Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies.”
So what might be the cause? Dr. Santos says, the increase in allergies
is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better
at diagnosing them. 5 She adds that possible factors are pollution,
dietary changes and less exposure to bacteria, which change how our immune
systems respond. She points out that it's very common for migrants who move
to another country to develop food allergies in their new location.
A.It seems to be more environmental.
B.A food allergy can affect you at any age.
C.Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions.
D.Yet in fact, food allergies are affecting more and more of us.
E.More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain food.
F.A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that's not easy.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
G.We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products or to nuts.

1.D 过渡句。设空处前句提到食物过敏这个情况看似不太常见,设空处话锋一转(然而
事实上,食物过敏正影响着越来越多的人。)与前一句形成了转折关系,正因为这种情况
越来越多才会引出下文。
2.C 细节句。根据设空处后句中的It means that可知此句是对设空处进行的解释,两
句阐述的内容一致,C项中的life-threatening与设空处后句中的their lives may
be put at risk对应。
3.G 主旨句。设空处后的peanuts与G项中的nuts对应,设空处指出一些人对奶制品
或坚果过敏,后句通过举例来说明。
4.E 细节句。本段主要指出对食物过敏的人中孩子占比更大,E项中的them指代前句中
的children,而certain food包含上一段中提到的奶制品和坚果。
5.A 细节句。本段主旨是造成过敏的原因,设空处后句提到污染、饮食变化和较少接触
细菌,这说明过敏和环境有关系,这与A项中的more environmental对应。
Passage 40
In many cases, online classes can be a gift to college students
everywhere. They're different from traditional classes in many ways. 1 So
what exactly do students love about taking online classes?
A flexible schedule
One thing that many college students probably dislike about traditional
classes is that they're inflexible. There is usually a specific schedule
you need to follow. By contrast, online classes are much more flexible. 2
Flexibility with your classes also gives you the chance to make time for
other important things in your life—like working a job to earn some money,
spending time with friends and family.
A comfortable learning environment
Online classes offer you a comfortable environment in which you can
learn. Because you don't have to physically attend classes, you'll have the北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
chance to work from wherever you want. 3 If you would rather do your work
in the comfort of your own home, you have complete freedom to do that as
well.
4
Another great thing about online classes is that there are quite a
variety to choose from. You can find practically any degree program you
want online to help you advance in your education and career. So, no matter
what you want to study, chances are that there's something out there that's
a perfect fit for you.
Easy access to your textbooks
Since your classes are online, it's likely that your textbooks will be
easily accessible online as well. What's more, they will probably not be
all that expensive. 5 This is highly convenient, especially if you prefer
using online textbooks so that you won't have to haul(拖着)a physical copy
around or worry about misplacing it somewhere.
A.Advances in your education
B.A variety of courses and programs
C.They can be a welcome relief for students.
D.You can access them online for little or no charge.
E.So if you prefer learning and getting work done in a cafe, go to a cafe.
F.It means you have the opportunity to do your work whenever you see fit.
G.Online classes are a great option for those efficient at schedule
management.

Passage 41
The age range of 13~19 is an important time in an individual's life.
1 While you are a teenager, many exciting opportunities for success are
given to you. Taking on the right amount of responsibility and independence
can push you towards becoming a successful teenager.
First, participate in extra-curricular activities. Schools give
students opportunities for staying active. Pick an activity that appeals to
you such as athletics, academic clubs, or special-interest clubs. Extra-
curricular activities build character through team work, time management,
and competition. Don't be too worried if you aren't very good at what you
like, for the important thing is passion. 2
Besides, volunteer. 3 Volunteering can teach you job-related skills
such as responsibility or time management. Some schools also reward the
learning aspect of volunteer work with credit hours. If you are interested
in college, volunteering makes you much more appealing during the
application process.
Thirdly, use your summer for academic programs. Getting a head start
at college could mean sacrificing your summer vacation. Various
universities offer programs for future college students based on interests
such as journalism, photography, art, sports, etc. 4 Research different
programs and then figure out which one is the best choice for you. Check北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
the requirements and deadlines. Avoid getting into trouble because of a
simple mistake, and you will have a great time.
Then, know when to ask for help and advice. Being responsible and
independent does not mean being alone. 5 So, seek advice from parents,
older siblings, mentors at work, teachers or someone whom you trust.
Opening up channels of communication at a young age is a great habit for
success.
A.It will drive you to put in your best effort.
B.Huge steps are taken within that portion.
C.Making and meeting goals motivates you to progress.
D.They give teenagers the chance to earn college credits.
E.Giving your time to your community is a noble activity.
F.Make sure your maturity level and interests are leveled.
G.Taking on new tasks and meeting goals will be hard work.

Despite the many ways to communicate, good communicators share in
common important principles and techniques that enable them to communicate
effectively. The characteristics of good communicators cut across all
languages and cultures. Becoming a good communicator has many benefits and
advantages. 1
Good communicators listen. Listening is an important component of
communicating effectively. It shows other people that you are sincere and
interested in what they are saying. 2 Listening enables you to weigh and
evaluate various issues before you produce a response.
Good communicators communicate clearly whether in writing, speaking or
gesturing. In terms of speaking, good communicators project their voices
with a firm tone to ensure that people can literally understand them. In
terms of writing, good communicators use the appropriate words to convey
different senses of meaning. 3
Good communicators organize their thoughts to ensure that what they
communicate comes out in an organized fashion. 4 Good communicators also
organize what they say into concise statements that are easy to understand
by the listeners. This way it is not too difficult for listeners to follow
what they say.
5 When a speaker shows that she is genuine about what she says,
listeners are likely to believe the speaker because of the sincerity with
which she speaks. Sincere communicators usually communicate convincingly北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
because they are willing to put their beliefs on the line for the sake of
communicating the truth.
A.Good communicators are sincere.
B.Also, it allows you to correctly respond to people.

Passage 43
You may want to start paying attention to supermarket shelves because
they are changing rapidly. Soon, when you walk by a shelf filled with
produce, it may have electronic labels, personalized advertisements, RFID
(radio-frequency identification reader) technology and IoT(Internet of
Things) sensors. Smart shelves with digital displays are coming to more
supermarkets as paper labels are replaced with advanced technology.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Electronic labels will replace all the paper labels which announce the
prices. 1 Electronic labels display prices, advertisements, nutritional
data, coupons and videos. Imagine standing in front of a milk display and
instantly comparing nutritional information among different brands while
getting a flashing coupon that you scan with your phone.
2 For example, sensors installed in the shelves can tell when you
approach them,so they can show you a deal on the same bread you purchased
last week. Additionally, if you use a store's app to create a shopping
list, the smart shelves can interact with the list and show you where to
find the items you want.
RFID usually has a tag that can transmit and receive data. 3 In
supermarkets, RFID technology can help retailers manage. RFID tags can
alert store assistants when the shelves are empty and need restocking or

to learn something new. 3

Passage 45
Leadership lessons from Singapore
The COVID-19 outbreak is causing alarm around the world, but here in
Singapore, the small island country has managed to mostly contain the
spread quite rapidly. 1
Learning from the past—ready for the future.“Here is your key card,
office key and personal thermometer,” said the university administrator
when I started teaching many years ago. I was puzzled with the thermometer
as a standard-issue device for every employee. 2 Since I was not here
during the 2003 SARS outbreak, I never appreciated the importance of having
a thermometer in my desk drawer, but now I use it twice daily.
3 “Every instructor must complete the training for delivering their
courses online in case of emergency,” the university told us over seven
years ago. It seemed a bit unnecessary at the time. But all of us completed
the training—and were retested each semester. Who would have thought that
in 2020 we would need to shift more than 1,000 courses online with less
than 12 hours' notice! That could not have been accomplished without the
previous efforts.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
Clarifying expectations—universal diligence. “Stop right there! Give
me 10 feet and then you can come by,” says my colleague as I meet her in
the common hallway. 4 Large gatherings are canceled and restaurants are
empty as we all spend more time at home to avoid interactions with others.
To enter a mall, restaurant or any building on our campus, you must pass a
temperature screening and often record your presence.
5 In spite of the global crisis, classes and university operations
have continued without disruption.
A.The virus is hard to contain.
B.Planning alternatives—the ability to move quickly.
C.As a witness, I must share a few leadership lessons.
D.The nation's readiness for emergencies helps to fight the virus.
E.How often do we really take lessons from the past to protect our future?
F.In fact, I once joked that they should also give us a snorkel(呼吸管) in
case of tsunamis.
G.We are still friends, but it is our responsibility to avoid unnecessary
human contact.

Passage 46
Many people believe that there is some truth in the saying “Laughter
is the best medicine.” 1 Laughter helps relieve pain, strengthen the
immune system and reduce stress. Laughter stimulates hormones which make us
feel happy. Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body
and has benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.
2 Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before major medical
procedures are able to cope better with pain and anxiety. 3 These are
professional clowns who are sent to hospitals and wards to entertain and
distract sick children.
Laughter therapy has become very popular in recent years and as a
result, more and more laughter clubs are starting to open up in cities and
towns all over the world. At a laughter session, a trained therapist
instructs the group to perform a series of exercises which are designed to
produce laughter. 4 And it takes them some time to get rid of their
inhibitions.They might even start off with fake laughter, but this doesn't
matter because our bodies can't tell the difference, and the results are
the same. Moreover, laughter is contagious(传染的). 5
So next time you feel ill, stressed out or depressed, try watching a
funny film or try remembering an amusing incident in your life. You will
soon feel better.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
A.If one person starts giggling, it is unavoidable that everyone else will
be drawn in.

health benefits.
E.Laughter makes the world a better and more colorful place.

答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,介绍了笑对健康有很多益处以及笑声疗法越来越受到人们
的欢迎。
1.D 由“Laughter helps relieve pain, strengthen the immune system and
reduce stress. Laughter stimulates hormones which make us feel happy.
Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body and has
benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.”(笑声有
助于减轻疼痛,增强免疫系统和减轻压力。笑声促进荷尔蒙分泌,使我们感到快乐。笑也
会增加血液在全身的流动,并且有类似于通过锻炼获得的益处)可知,第1小题要总述笑
声有很多的益处,然后再进行具体的分说。故D选项“事实上,科学家的研究表明笑对健
康有很大的益处”符合句意。
2.G 由“Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before major medical
procedures are able to cope better with pain and anxiety.”可知,在重要的医
疗程序之前,接触滑稽电影和卡通片的儿童能够更好地应对疼痛和焦虑。所以第2小题
要表明笑声疗法的应用的地点以及总述所起的积极作用。故G选项“在儿童医院使用笑
声疗法已经被证明是具有极大价值的”符合句意。
3.C 由“These are professional clowns who are sent to hospitals and wards
to entertain and distract sick children.”可知,他们是专业的小丑,被派往医院
和病房来使孩子们快乐和分散患病儿童的注意力。所以第3小题与下一句共同说明笑声
疗法所采取的具体措施。故C选项“这一发现产生了所谓的小丑医生”符合句意。北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
4.F 由“At a laughter session, a trained therapist instructs the group to
perform a series of exercises which are designed to produce laughter. 4
And it takes them some time to get rid of their inhibitions.”可知,在笑的训
练课中,一名训练有素的治疗师指导小组进行一系列旨在产生笑声的练习。这需要花费
他们一些时间来摆脱拘束。所以第4小题要表明训练开始时,人们对这种练习的看法,才
能更好地承接下句。故F选项“有些人一开始可能会觉得这个想法很尴尬”符合句意。
5.A 由“Moreover, laughter is contagious.”可知,笑声是会传染的。所以第5小
题要具体说明笑声是会传染的。故A选项“如果一个人开始咯咯地笑,其他人就不可避
免地也开始咯咯地笑起来”符合句意。
