阅读理解七选五文章是在一段约300词的短文中留出5个空白,要求考生从所给的7个选项中选出最佳选项,使补
全后的短文意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。体裁以说明文、记叙文为主。题型以段中句为主,段首句和段尾句为
辅。
话题与当代社会生活紧密相关、人文气息浓厚,引导学生关爱自我、关爱社会、热爱生活。语篇模式也较为固定:依
次是提出问题、分析问题、最后是提供解决方案;主要考查考生的做题技能和阅读判断能力。
命题分布及考查方向:题目的位置固定:有首句、句中、末句与独立成段 四种情形;考查的方向大致可分为主旨概
括句(文章整体内容)、过渡性句子(文章结构)和注释性句子(上下文逻辑意义) 三类。
若问题在段首,通常是段落主题句。若是针对段落小标题设空。其呈现形式应和其他小标题相同。选项应短小精评,多
为名词词组、动名词短语或祈使向。若段落首句设空,段首句要么与段落标题相关联,要么是段落主题句。选项要有概
括性。
知识点2 解题要点
一“通读”---通读全文把握大意,
二“精读”---以空位单位,结合设空位置和段落结构做出初步判断。注意先易后难,一时有困难及时放一放,
三“复读”—重点复读有疑问的选项,从设空位置、前后句逻辑、段落关键词入手多方考虑。
阅读七选五 侧重 考查考生对文章内容、结构及上下文逻辑的理解和把握 。解题是遇到模棱两可难以判断的空时遵循先易
后难的原则,一时有困难及时放一放。重点复读有疑问的选项时,从设空位置、前后句逻辑如选项中或者设空处后面的
人称代词、段落关键词入手多方考虑。
知识点3 高分技巧
第一步:通读全文,掌握大意
阅读七选五多为说明文,寻找主题句是掌握全文主旨大意最有效的方法。说明文的主题句一般是首段的第一句或第二句,
有些会出现在文章的末尾,阅读时要特别关注这些句子。
第二步:阅读选项,标记线索通读完文章,依次快速浏览各个选项,弄清句子的类别和意义,并找出每个选项中的线索
词或关键词,据此初步确定哪个选项应放在文章的哪个位置上。
第三步:详读段落,定位选项了解文章大意和选项内容之后,再细读文章,分析上下文语段之间的逻辑关系和语义关系,
根据所标记的线索词和关键词(如:代词的作用就是指代前面提及的名词或句子,根据指代关系和代词的单复数差异可
以快速解题),进一步确定选项。
第四步:研读选项,排除干扰尽管答案已选出,但为了避免失误,还要对多余的两个选项进行进一步的研读,确认它们
和文章的意义没有关联,最终将其排除。
名师提醒:段中设空的题要注意分析前后的逻辑性和内容的连贯性,注意句子之间的衔接手法。当设空在段中时,通常
考查该空与前后句子之间的逻辑关系和上下文之间的街接关系。
常见的逻辑关系包括7类: 总分关系、并列关系 、 递进关系 、 转折关系 , 因果关系、解释关系和例证关系。
考点二 段首设空题
段首设空考查小标题或段落主题句
考查方向:小标题或段落主题句:位于篇首或段首设空,一般考查文章或段落主题。注释小标题:如在小标题之后接着
设空,一般是对小标题加以注释。段落间的过渡句:如首段之后的段首设空,一般是考查承上启下的过渡语句。典例1.(2024年新高考II卷) Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities,
but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16 . So, should we stop traveling? ___
Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions
to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the
same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you.
___17 Travel for you and no one else . . ___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is
described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That
means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. You can still find relatively undiscovered places. Why not try a
regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● ___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer
tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
......
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【解析】本题考查小标题,根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.(通
过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期,选择合适的时间,A选项
“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
【答案】A
考点三 段中设空题
一 段中设空考查逻辑关系
段中设空主要考查上下文的逻辑关系。有时会出现下列衔接词汇或短语结构: first, second, then, next, later, soon, so, but,
however, additionally, what’s more, that is, namely, in other words, for one thing. . . for another 等, 这些词汇和短语结构在文章
中起到提示逻辑关系的作用,是解题时需要重点关注的部分。考生应对常用的逻辑关系了然于心,并在阅读时能有效地找出关键信息。常考逻辑关系如下,
(1) 总分关系 :指选项是中心句;
(2) 并列 关系 :指选项与前句或后句在结构或内容上一致;
(3) 递进 关系 :指后句对前句进行补充说明或语义上的延伸;
(4) 转折 关系 ;指选项与前句或后句语义相反或相对,后句往往是对前句的修正,表达作者的真正意图;
(5) 例证关系 :指后句是前句的具体实例。
(6) 概括阐释 :指前句对后句或后句对前句进行归纳概括,若前句归纳,后句即是对前句的具体阐释,使得概念更加
清晰易懂;若后句概括,即后句是对前句所阐释的内容进行意义整合;
(7) 因果关系 :指选项与前后句构成因果关系;
1、根据总分关系确定答案
主要从以下二个方面解题:
一是掌握特点:“总”是指总体概括,“分”指的是内容的具体展开;
二是技巧运用:是先“总”后“分”,是先“分”后“总”,还是先“总”后“分”再“总”。
例如:
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open
fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days
off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
F. After the trip, my family became interested in camping.
【解析】本题考查总分关系。根据下文的描述“我们睡在帐篷里、在篝火上做饭、走很远的路去洗澡和上厕所”可知,
这次野营比较艰难, 设空处是总体评价, 后面是详细描述。故选C。
【答案】C
2、根据解释关系确定答案
主要从以下二个方面解题:一是掌握特点:提出观点,然后对该观点解释说明;
二是技巧运用:设空处是提出的观点还是对观点的解释说明。
典例 In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are
always crowded. 40 When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that
some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can
be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
【解析】本题考查解释关系。设空前介绍法国咖啡厅常常很拥挤, 设空处“并非所有的顾客都是游客”符合语境, 空后通
过设问“这些人什么时候工作呢? ”,用回答该问题的方式来解释为什么当地人有时间享受咖啡馆生活。故选A。
【答案】A
3、根据例证关系确定答案
主要从以下二个方面解题:
一是掌握特点:思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系;
二是技巧运用:是先给例子,再归纳观点;还是先给出观点,再举例说明。
典例The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 37 Our
building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French
phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
【解析】本题考查例证关系。本段句首提出观点: “可是, 这个地方并不完全像地道的巴黎”, 接下来要举例说明, 再结合
空前一句讲的是“管道正常工作”, 空后一句讲的是“甚至还有小电梯”, 本句内容应该涉及房子的好处“公寓里有不错
的厨房和舒适的床”,故选C。
【答案】C
4、根据转折关系确定答案
表示转折关系的连接词有: but但是, however/whereas然而, nevertheless仍然, 然而, 不过, nonetheless尽管如此, 依然, 然
而, still还; 然而, though可是, 不过, 然而, yet然而, in spite of不顾, 不管, at any rate无论如何, 至少, in any case无论
如何, 不管怎样, whoever无论是谁, whatever无论什么, on the contrary正相反, in contrast与此相反, 相比之下, by
contrast相反, 相比之下, in comparison比较起来, 比较地, by comparison相比之下, conversely相反(地), otherwise否则; 除此以外, not. . . but不是……而是, as well也等。
主要从以下二个方面解题:
一是掌握特点:指英语行文中后句与前句构成逆转逻辑关系;
二是技巧运用:空格前后两句话之间如果是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个表示转折关系的句子。
典例1(2024年新高考I卷)
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English
Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull".
____40____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don't often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don't want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.
【解析】本题考查转折关系。上文““To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work, ” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of
”dull".(约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道:“编字典是件无聊的工作(乏味)。”)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工
作,下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两
页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣,D选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本
字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价,与上文的“乏味”形成对比,与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。
【答案】 D
【思维建模】选项初读时应当关注But这种明显转折意义的词,结合but之后句意,再根据设空前的句子即可推断正确
答案。
5、根据因果关系确定答案
表示因果关系的连词有as a result/consequently结果, thus/therefore因此, so (such). . . that. . . 如此……以至于……等。
主要从以下二个方面解题:
一是掌握特点:指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系;
二是技巧运用:是说明了前因后果还是前果后因等情况。
典例1.(2024年新高考II卷)
Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities,
but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of what
travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the
places we visit and improve our experience.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【解析】本题考查因果关系。前文“Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts
local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.(旅游
促进理解,扩展我们的思想,使我们成为更好的人,促进当地经济和社区,但旅游业的快速发展导致了某些地区和目的
地的过度旅游)”表明旅游带来了一些问题,后文“The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world.(在当
今世界,失去旅行所能提供的东西将是不可接受的)”表示不能失去旅行,结合后文“Certainly not.(当然不)”可知,空处提
问能否停止旅行,D选项“那么,我们应该停止旅行吗?”符合语境。故选B。
【答案】B
典例2.
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.__ 36 __ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor
apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
【解析】本题考查因果关系。根据空后的句子中的So可知, 该句与设空处是因果关系。F项“我们的目的是想看看我们
能否像真正的巴黎人一样生活”是作者和她丈夫在巴黎租住公寓的原因。故选F。
【答案】F
6、根据递进关系确定答案
表示递进关系的连词有: also也, 而且, further另外(地), furthermore而且, 此外, likewise同样地, 照样地; 也,又, similarly相
似地, 类似地, moreover而且, 再者, 此外, in addition另外, 加之, what’s more更重要的是, too也,还, either也, neither两者都
不, not only. . . but also不但……而且等。
主要从以下二个方面解题:
一是掌握特点:后面的句子是对前面所述内容的进一步解释说明,即行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系;二是技巧运
用:空格前后两句之间如果是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个表示递进的句子。
例如:
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is
needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept
doesn’t work if one doesn’t understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that’s English since it’s
widely spoken.
A. And that’s totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【解析】本题考查递进关系。As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn’t work if one
doesn’t understand it. “虽然收到一张汉语卡片很酷, 但如果你不懂汉语, 你就看不懂意思”, 而F项Similarly, if you speak
only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away. “同样, 如果你只会说中文, 收到一张瑞典语的卡片也会
让你失去一部分乐趣”与前句构成递进关系。故选F。
【答案】F
7、根据并列关系确定答案
主要从以下二个方面解题:
一是掌握特点:前后两句是逻辑上的并列关系;
二是技巧运用:寻找表示并列的关系词,如:and, first(ly), second(ly),...; first, then/next, ..;in the first place, in the second place.;
for one thing, for another; to begin with, to conclude等标志性词语。
例如:
What about that person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking? If you can’t take their wine away, you should
certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台). If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something
and just remove them from the situation. 3 9 .
A. How do you know the host
B. The first step is to go exploring
C. If you ask the question “How did you get here?”
D. Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E. Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F. What about that person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking
G. He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most
【解析】本题考查并列关系。空处与空格前的“If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with
something and just remove them from the situation. ”构成并列句中的选择关系, 并与首句中“won’t stop talking”呼应, 故E项
(或者把谈话变成一个他们无话可说的话题)符合语境。故选E。
【答案】E
二 段中题考查词汇线索
1.人称代词或物主代词指代
前文出现过的人或物,再次提到时,为了避免重复,为避免重复,常用人称代词,不定代词,指示代
词,反身代词,以及 such 和 so 指代前文提到的内容。解题时要注意指代的人称、数的一致性。
it 可指代单数名词或整个句子; they 或 them 指代复数名词;one 指代单数可数名词;
ones 指代复数名词;that 指代不可数名词或句子; this 指代单数名词或句子:
these 或 those 指代前句的复数名词。做题过程中要特别关注空后的句子或选项中是否有代词,可以利用
指代关系以及代词单复数形式的差异快速锁定答案。
2.词汇线索---高频词复现(同义词/近义词/上下义词/同一范畴词)
作者在文章上下文不同的位置对同一个概念进行重复描述。达到语义衔接的目的。复现关系,主要是指原词复现、同义
词复现、近义词复现、反义词复现和同范畴词出现等。在选项中找到与此词汇最接近的词,从而达到快而准。一般来说,上下文中词汇联系越接近,上下文的衔接关系越紧密。

often use this dictionary.(我不经常用这本字典。)”是对字典使用频率的说明,与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。
【答案】 A
考点四 段尾设空题如果设空处在段尾,通常是结论、概括性语句。也可以是承上启下(过渡)句子。
一 段尾句考查总结概括句表概况归纳关系有:in short , in brief , in summary ,generally speaking ,in general , to conclude ,in
conclusion, in a word ,on the whole , to sum up 等。
二 段尾句考查补充信息句 对前文内容进行补充说明,这时要选择补充性的语句。

without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day.(在第二页的顶部,写上“善举”的标
题。在这张单子上,列出你为别人做过的所有积极的事情。它可能是当你帮助朋友做作业的时候,当你没有被要求却主
动熨衣服的时候,或者当你在家人累了一天之后烤饼干的时候。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是列出一些自己所做的好事。
选项F “Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.(不管是什么,不管它看起来有多小,都要把它写下
来。)”与上文内容一致,讲述的是不管你所做的事情不管有多小,只要是好的事情,都记下来。故选F。

Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented
manuscript (原稿). ____36____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus ( 同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities,
but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of whattravel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the
places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring
the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws
you. ___17___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is
described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That
means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular
destination’s lesser-known sights?
● ___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer
tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the
first place. ___20___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer.___16___.
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right ai our fingertips. However, research suggests
that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. ___17___.
“Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting
for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.
___18___. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon
find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
● ___19___.
So many of us have the belief that being comfortabel is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something
outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “___20___.” You’ll
then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. C 20. F
【解析】

根据上文“Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There’s one
answer. (这里有一个谜语:交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处?答案只有一个)”可知,本句说明上文谜
语 答的案,结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都需要耐心。故G选项“在这些情况下,我们都需要一
点额外的耐心”符合语境,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.(感恩
有很多好处:研究表明,感恩让我们更快乐,压力更小,甚至更乐观)”以及后文““Showing thankfulness can foster self-
control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学的研究员叶丽说:“表达感激可以培养自我控制能
力。”)”可知,上文提到了感恩的诸多好处,可知本句继续说明感恩的好处:它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选
项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习)”以
及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. (把你最喜欢
的节目推迟到周末再看,或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知,后文列举的事情都是日常的小事,说明要从小事开始练习
等待,故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境,故选B。【19题详解】
根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience
something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能
容忍的状态,当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时,我们会对环境失去耐心)”可知,本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状
态,结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知,本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关,C选项中uncomfortable对应后文comfortable。
故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then gradually become more
patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态,可知,本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服
相关,故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服,而不是无法忍受”符合语境,故选F。
二、 命题演练
1.(23-24高三·江苏前黄中学·模拟试题)Knowledge is power, and the more you learn about mental health, the better
the position you may be in to help those facing mental health battles. Consider doing the following things to support those closest
to you.
Attend a training course
1 . In fact, anyone can benefit from depression awareness training that focuses on supporting those at risk. You
might be a teacher that manages youth or a sports coach wanting to pick up on depression risk signs in your players. You may
even be a worried parent who wants to make sure your children can tell you anything. Depression awareness and prevention
courses teach you both theoretical and practical skills to recognize warning signs and behaviors. 2 .
Listen
If someone approaches you in their time of need, it’s not always easy to know what you’re supposed to do, and it may be
more beneficial for you to just listen. 3 . They may just need to get what they are feeling off their chest and to feel valid
at that moment. Try your best not to interrupt, but ask questions if you require clarification. The more listening you do, the better
your position in deciding what to do next.
4
While being a listening ear is sometimes all someone needs to feel better, you can also become an ongoing source of
support. Check in with the person experiencing a mental health problem like depression so that they know you are always there
for them. Make contact with them regularly to see how they are feeling. Just knowing someone cares can make a world of
difference.
Call emergency services
Your support, guidance, and listening ear can be of great value to anyone going through a tough time. 5 . If
someone you know is experiencing self-abuse thoughts or tendencies, don’t delay in seeking emergency help. The faster you act,
the safer your friend or family member may be.
A.Check in with them
B.Suggest support services
C.However, it’s essential to know your limits
D.Such a course may just help you to prevent someone’s depression
E.They may not need you to offer solutions or even give them a hug
F.Sometimes, the best thing you can do is encourage them to seek professional helpG.You don’t have to be in a professional health role to attend depression prevention training
【答案】1.G 2.D 3.E 4.A 5.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了四种帮助身边有心理疾病的人的方式。
1.根据下文“In fact, anyone can benefit from depression awareness training that focuses on supporting those at risk. You might
be a teacher that manages youth or a sports coach wanting to pick up on depression risk signs in your players.”(事实上,任何人
都可以从抑郁症意识培训中受益,重点是支持那些有风险的人。你可能是一名管理青少年的老师,或者是一名想要在你
的球员身上发现抑郁风险迹象的体育教练。)可知,选项承接下文话题一致,都在说明任何人都可以参加培训。故G选
项“你不需要成为专业的健康专家才能参加抑郁症预防培训。”切题。故选G项。

signs and behaviors.”(抑郁症意识和预防课程将教授你识别警告信号和行为的理论和实践技能。)可知,选项承接上文

3.根据上文“If someone approaches you in their time of need, it’s not always easy to know what you’re supposed to do, and it
may be more beneficial for you to just listen.”(如果有人在需要你的时候来找你,你并不总是很容易知道你应该做什么,
倾听对你来说可能更有益。)根据下文“They may just need to get what they are feeling off their chest and to feel valid at that
moment.”(他们可能只是需要把心中的感受发泄出来,在那一刻感觉自己是正确的)可知倾听就足够了,连个拥抱都不
需要。故E选项“他们可能不需要你提供解决方案,甚至不需要给他们一个拥抱。”切题。故选E项。
4.根据下文“Check in with the person experiencing a mental health problem like depression so that they know you are always
there for them. Make contact with them regularly to see how they are feeling. Just knowing someone cares can make a world of
difference.”(与患有抑郁症等心理健康问题的人联系,让他们知道你总是在他们身边。定期和他们联系,看看他们的感
受。只要知道有人关心你,就能让世界变得不同。)可知,本段告诉我们要和患有抑郁症等心理健康问题的人联系。所
以本段的标题为“和他们联系”。故选A项。
5.根据上文“Your support, guidance, and listening ear can be of great value to anyone going through a tough time.”(你的支
持、指导和倾听对任何正在经历艰难时刻的人来说都是很有价值的)以及下文“If someone you know is experiencing self-
abuse thoughts or tendencies, don’t delay in seeking emergency help.”(如果你认识的人有自虐的想法或倾向,不要拖延寻求
紧急帮助。)可知,选项与上文为转折关系,且成接下文说明有些事情是自己做不到的。要认识到自己的能力极限。故

2.(2025·江苏盐城·五校联考)Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally
fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. 6 So people having trouble falling
asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of
all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t
the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. 7
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your
physiology (生理机能). 8 Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t
fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has
something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively
associates music with sleep.
9 Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for
sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially
with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.10 For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for
sleep or relaxation.
A.It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B.It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C.The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D.Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E.This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues.
F.People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G.Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.
【答案】6.E 7.F 8.D 9.B 10.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐可以改善睡眠,解释了背后的原因。
6.根据上文“Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether.(即
使你最终能睡着,花太长时间入睡也会导致睡眠时间太少)”以及后文“So people having trouble falling asleep always
wonder how they can sleep well.(所以入睡困难的人总是想知道他们如何才能睡得好)”可知,本句承接上文,说明花太长时
间入睡的情况对人们的影响,后文给出解决方案。故E选项“如果这种情况持续下去,会对一个人的生活质量产生严重
的影响”符合语境,故选E。
7.根据上文“Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that
children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately,
children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.(父母从经验中知道轻柔的音乐可以帮助婴儿
入睡。科学支持这一点,表明所有年龄段的孩子,从婴儿到小学生,在听了舒适的音乐后睡得更好。幸运的是,孩子并
不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人)”可知,上文提到“孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人”,说明
其他年龄段的人也可以从中受益。故F选项“各年龄段的人都说听轻音乐后睡眠质量更好”符合语境,故选F。
8.根据上文“Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting
your physiology (生理机能).(听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理机能直接促进睡眠)”可
知,本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项“听音乐可以减轻你的压力,激发积极的情绪”符合
语境,故选D。
9.根据后文“Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for
sleep.(研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表,但对于最适合睡眠的音乐,还没有一个明确的答案)”可知,本句与最适
合睡觉的音乐类型有关,B选项type对应后文types。故B选项“想知道最适合睡觉的音乐类型是很自然的”符合语境,
故选B。
10.根据上文“One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.(关于音
乐如何影响一个人的身体,最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好)”以及后文“For those who don’t want to design their own
playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.(对于那些不想设计自己的播放
列表的人来说,在线音乐服务已经介入,通常提供睡眠或放松的播放列表)”可知,本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促
进睡眠。故G选项“有用的个人播放列表可能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲”符合语境,故选G。

some effective ways to deal with these feelings and regain control over your life.
12
If you’re feeling lost, the first step to regaining direction is to admit your feelings to yourself. Remind yourself that it’sperfectly normal to feel disappointed, or unfulfilled sometimes— everybody does at some point! These feelings are natural
reactions to overwhelming events or changes.
Ask yourself why you’re feeling lost.

meditating to turn your attention inward. 13 The journey to find your way again is highly personal and there are no right
or wrong feelings to have!

Do you have any less-than-helpful habits that weigh you down, like endlessly scrolling through social media or snapping at
loved ones when you’re stressed? 14 Instead, swap these habits with new, positive ones.

4.(24-25高三上·湖北·阶段练习)Whether you like it or not, fall is here. Soon the weather will get colder. The leaves
will die and the nights will stretch longer than the days. Another year is dying; that’s just how it goes.
Studies suggest that if you are deeply preoccupied with your thoughts, in the autumn, you may be at more risk for
depression in the winter. Changing the clocks in the fall is associated with depressive episodes (changing them back in spring is
not). 16
Psychologists say that the feelings that often crop up in autumn come from our discomfort with change, and an anxiety and
uncertainty about what that change will bring.
17 And of these things the anxiety, the promise and even the careful thoughts— make it the ideal season to build
resilience and practice mindfulness. Psychologists have also found that the thought of change, the ending of one thing, the
beginning of another, and perhaps our own mortality, underlies a great deal of anxiety. Some of us struggle with “intolerance of
uncertainty,” more than others.
But intolerance of uncertainty is a part of being human; everyone has it on some level. 18 One way to build
tolerance is to lean into it— to cultivate uncertainty rather than running away from it.
19 Quietly sit on a park bench and watch a tree drop its leaves, for instance, examine the roses in the garden that
need pruning ... in such moments, it’s important to stop thinking, analyzing, or having internal conversations about work or
troubles or even whatever you are witnessing.
Autumn will probably hold some whisper of decay and mortality. 20 If you are always trying to avoid difficult
feelings, you might end up also cutting yourself off from love, richness and sweetness. Dr. Wilson said, “this is how life is: sweet
and sad, poured from the same vessel in equal measure.”
A.And it is changeable.
B.But it is not that bad.
C.But embracing that sadness is important.
D.More recently, it’s become a time to appreciate our surroundings.
E.Fall also brings with it bright, briskdays, pumpkin patches and cozy sweaters.
F.It is no wonder that the season has so many celebrations to attempt to keep our spirits up.
G.Another strategy experts suggest for soothing anxiety is to step back and simply observe the world around you.

several former Olympic medalists about how they keep fit now.
· Do little and often.
This doesn’t have to be a workout— short, simple “exercise snacks” will do. Goodhew, for example, brushes his teeth while
standing on one leg and does stretching positions in bed. 21 “I turn up the music and hope that nobody is looking through
the window because it does look a bit wild.”
· 22
Whether it’s salted crisps or a bag of sweets, Olympians don’t cut out their guilty pleasures. “I think once you start to take
things out of your diet, that’s when your body desires it, so you start wanting it more,” says Christie, whose treat is a coffee or tea
sweetened with condensed milk (炼乳). 23
· Drink lots of water.
Goodhew drinks two glasses of water before starting his day. 24 While the amount of water you need depends on
your body and lifestyle, studies have shown that drinking more water is linked to weight loss and indeed keeps your bones
hydrated (含水的) by delivering calcium and other nutrients.
· Give priority to sleep.
25 “During my athletic career, you had to learn to sleep because you go to places where you never know if you’re
going to get a good night’s sleep,” recalls Christie.

6.(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet
Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are
a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫).
26 Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking
hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but
understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable.
Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. 27
It’s often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it's important to maintain a
calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. 28 Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying todiscourage.
Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird,
causing him to feel anxious or over- stimulated. 29 If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the
room your bird is in.
Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with
other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at
sending you a flock call. 30
A.Understand bird behavior.
B.Train your bird to be quiet.
C.This may be especially useful for parrots.
D.Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love.
E.Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe.
F.Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone.
G.Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same.
【答案】26.A 27.C 28.F 29.G 30.E

hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening.(大多数鸟都会发出一些声音,不是唱歌就是叫。鸟类在早上醒
着的时候和晚上睡觉前往往是最大声的。)”可知,本段主要介绍要了解鸟儿的行为。故A选项“了解鸟的行为”切题,
为本段的标题。故选A项。
27.根据上文“Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling.(当你的鸟吹口哨或低语时,赞
美它,而不是尖叫或吼叫。)”可知,选项承接上文说明其对哪种鸟类有作用。故C选项“这可能对鹦鹉特别有用”切
题。故选C项。
28.根据上文“Furthermore, it’s important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird.(此外,当你和
你的鸟交流时,保持冷静和温和的语气是很重要的。)”可知,选项承接上文具体说明保持冷静和温和的语气。故F选项
“不要提高你的声音来回应你的鸟的音量或音调”切题。故选F项。
29.根据上文“Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your
bird, causing him to feel anxious or over- stimulated.(避免快速移动。有可能是你或你家里的人在你的鸟周围移动得太快,
导致他感到焦虑或过度刺激。)”可知,选项承接上文说明在鸟周围缓慢移动的重要性。故G选项“慢慢地在你的鸟周围
移动,并鼓励其他人也这样做。”切题。故选G项。
30.根据上文“Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of
communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it
could be his attempt at sending you a flock call.( 给你的鸟一个舒适和安全的环境。野外的鸟类参与“鸟鸣”,作为与其他
鸟类交流和确保鸟群安全的一种方式。如果你离开房间时,你的鸟可能会吱吱叫,这可能是它试图向你发出鸟鸣。)”可
知,上文提到要采取一些措施来确保鸟感到安全和舒适。所以建议通过模仿鸟的叫声来回应, 是一种提供安全感的方
式,因为它可能被鸟理解为一种群体间的交流,表明它并不孤单。故E选项“试着用叫声回应,让他知道你很安全”切
题。故选E项。
7.(24-25高三上·四川·阶段练习)Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. 31
If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that. Studies have shown that practicinggratitude can significantly boost people’s happiness and well-being, allowing them to live a more fulfilling life. So how can we
practice gratitude? Here are ways that will set you in the right direction.
Keep a gratitude journal. Keep it simple and each day write 1 — 3 things you are grateful for in the morning and in the
evening. 32 A lot of people focus on what they don’t have, or complain all day, making themselves upset. But when you
focus on the positive, no matter how small, you attract more of the positive.
Don’t compare. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and want what they have. When you do that, you’re not
appreciating your own unique journey. We’re all on a different life path and we were born to stand out. 33
Flash a smile. A lot of people don’t smile these days, and often you have to be the one that initiates (发起) it. Smiling at
someone can not only make you feel good, but also make their day, too. 34 While you’re at it, give compliments (问候),
too.
35 It’s easy to focus on the negative of the past or worry about the future. If you can live in the moment and take in
everything as they happen, you’ll discover joys that are often overlooked. There are joys of playing with your classmates in the
playground, the conversation with your friends across the table and the smell of rain. Enjoy and embrace these moments.
A.Live in the present.
B.So how often do you practice gratitude?
C.Do you know how to practice gratitude sincerely?
D.It will allow you to see more joy and beauty in your days.
E.Always discover the positive side of the people around you.
F.So smile more and watch how your day can instantly turn around.
G.Value the path you take and be grateful for who you are and what you have.

吸引更多的积极因素。)”。故选D。
33.根据上文内容“Don’t compare. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and want what they have. When you do that, you’re
not appreciating your own unique journey. We’re all on a different life path and we were born to stand out.(不要比较。我们很容
易将自己与他人进行比较,并想要拥有他们所拥有的东西。当你这样做的时候,你并没有感激自己独特的旅程。我们都

9.(24-25高三上·云南大理·期中)Critical thinking means making reasoned judgments that are logical and well-thought-
out. To think critically, you don’t simply accept all arguments and conclusions you are exposed to. 41 Here are several
tips to develop your critical thinking skills.
Question ideas and assumptions. 42 They constantly question ideas and assumptions rather than accepting them
at face value. They will always seek to determine whether the ideas, arguments and findings represent the entire picture and are
open to finding why they do not. It is about being an active learner rather than a passive receiver of information.
43 When analyzing a work procedure or process, you can creatively come up with ways to make it faster and
more efficient. It is a skill that can be strengthened over time. To discover certain patterns of information and make abstract
connections between seemingly unrelated data will improve your critical thinking. This is valuable no matter what career you take
up.
Adjust your perspective. Previous education and life experiences leave their marks on a person’s ability to objectively
evaluate certain situations. By acknowledging these biases, you can improve your critical thinking and overall decision process.
44 Putting yourself in other people’s shoes will help you imagine their motivations, ambitions, and confusions.
Practice reflection. Baking time for reflection into your day, particularly after an emotional situation is resolved or a big
project is completed. Consider: What was the context? What was I thinking and feeling in the moment? What were other people
thinking and feeling in the moment? What could I have done differently knowing what I know now? 45 They would tell
you how you handled something and what they would have done differently.
A.Think creatively.
B.Work effectively.
C.Empathy can also be of great help.
D.Critical thinkers definitely have the ability to reason.

10.(24-25 高三上·山东德州·阶段练习)In today’s consumer-driven society, credit cards have become an essential
financial tool for many. 46 However, there is also a hidden danger: the minimum payment trap. While the minimum
payment may seem like a manageable way to handle debt, it can quickly lead to a never-ending cycle of financial struggles. So
let’s explore the harmful nature of minimum payments.
The minimum payment is a mirage (海市蜃楼). At first glance, the minimum payment appears to be a reasonable sum. It’s
often a small percentage, around 2-3%, of the total balance. This seemingly manageable sum can make cardholders form a false
sense of security, leading them to believe that they’re making progress toward paying off their debt. 47
The cost of minimum payments is far from our expectations. Many people fail to realize that making only minimum
payments barely covers the interest that adds up on the outstanding balance (未偿余额), let alone reduces the principal amount
owed. 48 A large part of each payment will go towards interest charges rather than reducing the debt itself.
Consequently, people find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of paying off interest while the principal balance remains high.
49 As the cycle continues, the balance may actually grow over time, especially if new purchases are made on the
card. This occurs when interest continuously adds up on the existing balance. What started as a manageable sum can quickly
balloon into a financial burden.
People will probably suffer from psychological problems. The constant stress of increasing debt can lead to anxiety,
depression, and feelings of helplessness. 50 It’s a harmful cycle that feeds on itself, leaving many feeling trapped andhopeless.
A.There is a worrying snowball effect.
B.Actually, the reality is much more concerning.
C.They offer convenience, flexibility, and rewards.
D.The minimum pavements attract people to purchase more.
E.It is essential to first understand the impact of the interest.
F.Credit card companies apply relatively high interest rates.
G.The longer one remains trapped, the harder it is to break free.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讨论了信用卡最低还款额陷阱的危害性。
【分析】46.上文“In today’s consumer-driven society, credit cards have become an essential financial tool for many.(当今消
费驱动的社会中,信用卡已成为许多人必不可少的金融工具。)”说明了信用卡在现代社会中的重要性。C选项“They
offer convenience, flexibility, and rewards.(它们提供便利性、灵活性和奖励)”与上文内容一致,因为它列出了信用卡的
一些优点,并与下文构成对比,下文的“But”转折说明信用卡背后隐藏的危险。故选C。
47.空前的句子“This seemingly manageable sum can make cardholders form a false sense of security, leading them to believe
that they’re making progress toward paying off their debt(这笔看似可控的金额可能会让持卡人形成一种虚假的安全感,让他
们相信自己在偿还债务方面取得了进展)”说明了最低还款额给持卡人带来的错觉,觉得自己在偿还债务方面取得了进
展,实际怎样呢?B选项“Actually, the reality is much more concerning.(实际上,现实情况更加令人担忧)”强调了实际情
况比表面看起来更糟,符合上下文的语言逻辑。故选B。
48.空前的句子“Many people fail to realize that making only minimum payments barely covers the interest that adds up on the
outstanding balance (未偿余额), let alone reduces the principal amount owed.(许多人没有意识到,只支付最低还款额几乎无
法弥补未偿还余额的利息,更不用说减少所欠的本金了。)”说明了最低还款额仅能覆盖利息,F选项“Credit card
companies apply relatively high interest rates.(信用卡公司收取相对较高的利率)”解释了为何最低付款只够付利息。故选F。
49.上段描述支付最低额款项的循环,导致余额可能增加,A选项“There is a worrying snowball effect.(存在一个令人担
忧的滚雪球效应)”合理承接此意,且本空后面的句子“As the cycle continues, the balance may actually grow over time,
especially if new purchases are made on the card.(随着周期的继续,余额实际上可能会随着时间的推移而增长,特别是如果
在卡上进行了新的购买。)”进一步解释了这种循环的后果。故选A。
50.空前的句子“People will probably suffer from psychological problems. The constant stress of increasing debt can lead to
anxiety, depression, and feelings of helplessness.(人们可能会出现心理问题。债务增加带来的持续压力会导致焦虑、抑郁和
无助感。)”讲述了不断增加的债务带来的心理问题。G选项“The longer one remains trapped, the harder it is to break free.
(被困的时间越长,就越难摆脱。)”进一步说明其危害的严重程度,且空格后的“a harmful cycle ”即对选项G的总结,把
其称为恶循环。故选G。
