2. 命题规律及备考策略
【命题规律】近3年新高考卷对于阅读理解中阅读七选五的考查了12次。主要考查：
主旨概括句(文章整体内容)、衔接过渡句(文章结构)和上下文逻辑关系句(细节支撑)三类。其中，上下文逻辑关系
句是考查的重点。
【备考策略】系统归类阅读七选五的方法；熟练掌握阅读技能。
【命题预测】
阅读七选五以说明文为主，其结构非常的鲜明，设空处前后提示信息很明显，考查考生理解语篇整体或者局
部的基本结构，以及上下文的逻辑关系和基本的同义改写能力。说明文阅读七选五将在2024年高考中出现。根据段首位置线索解题
1．主旨句：常以段落小标题或段落主题句的形式出现。
2．段落过渡句：空处的答案能够将上一段和下一段的内容连贯起来。
段首设空题解题指导：
①段落标题句：观察其他段落标题的表达形式；段落标题的特点：短小精悍，以祈使句或短语为主；阅读段落内
容提炼中心词，留言体现主旨的原词、同源词、同义词、近义词或反义词。
②段落主题句：认真阅读下文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关词，推断主题句。
③段落间的过渡句：瞻前顾后找线索，正确答案应连贯上一段结尾和下一段内容。

【典例3】 (2021·新高考Ⅰ卷·节选)
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of
weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38.The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make
you happy.French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a
handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we
had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率)．You can tell this by café life. French cafés
are always crowded. 40. Not all the customers are tourists.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.
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.
【解析】 根据空处所在的位置可知，该空很可能是承上启下的过渡句。设空处的上一段介绍了法国人吃得
少的一个原因是他们的食物美味，根据空后内容可知，该段主要讲述的是法国人吃得少的另一个原因，即水果价
格昂贵。设空处应起到承上启下的过渡作用。分析选项可知，E项符合语境，且该项中的That指代上文论述的原
因。

追求的东西。)”与下文承接，用问题判断是否是自己想要的，故选C。

二、段中设空题
段中设空题通常考查过渡句和细节句。段中句若位于主题句后，很可能是说明原因、举例证明、分述细化主
题、解释前面句中的某个概念等；位于段落中间可能起衔接作用。要重点阅读空前一句和空后一句，找出它们之
间的逻辑关系，或者根据意义的连贯性得出答案。解题时要特别注意体现时间、原因、方式、转折等逻辑关系的
语篇标志词(关联词)。
段中设空题：
①细节句：设空位于段中，首先阅读选项并画出关键词；然后重点阅读设空处的前一句和后一句，画出关键
词，找出它们之间的逻辑关系或根据意义的连贯性得出答案；阅读各个选项，标记关键词；比较匹配关键词，确
定答案；利用词汇复现找到答案；利用表并列、转折、递进和因果的关系的关联词找到答案。
②过渡句：阅读空处前后内容，挖掘内在的逻辑关系；阅读各个选项，标记表示转折、并列、递进或因果关
系的关联词；注意词汇复现：同源词、同义词、近义词或反义词复现，不同时态形式的动词等。
【典例1】（2023年新高考I卷）You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. ____19____ That

【解析】根据空后内容“That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of
your personality that shine through.(这样，你们就可以交换意见，谈谈是什么让你们每个人都与众不同，以及你们个
性中闪光的方面。)”可知，空处提到了某种方式，这种方式会使得你和朋友们一起交换意见等。选项 C “They
might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.(他们甚至可能想试一试做练习。)”符合语境，C项中的“they”与空
前的“You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list.(你可以让朋友或家人帮你增加你的列表内
容。)”中的“a friend or family member”保持一致，同时选项C和下文“In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake
to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.(事实上，不要等到你犯了错误才去尝试这个——这是
一个在任何时候都能增强自信的好方法。)”中的“this”一致。故选C。

Your Brain Was Made For Walking
If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their
success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? ___36___.Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. ___37___ A Stanford
University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the
study, walking outside—versus on a treadmill—produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who
walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which
refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. ___38___
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that
Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation(停滞), the antithesis of
energy. ___39___ Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which
is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.

just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A．In fact, you probably do it every day.
B．Physical movement is unintentional.
C．Without energy, you can’t wonder or create.

E．That is why walking- with a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.
F．Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas.
G．Disconnecting from multimedia increases performance on all problem-solving tasks.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了散步可以有助于创造性思维的培养
36．A根据上文“If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same
secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? (“如
果一位总统、一位传奇哲学家和一位有史以来最畅销的作家都认为他们成功的秘诀是相同的你也会尝试遵循它吗？
如果这个秘密是你已经知道怎么做的呢?”)结合后文“Get walking!(去散步)”提到了成功的秘诀是散步，可推测本句
是在回答上文的问题，并引出下文散步的话题。与A项“In fact, you probably do it every day. (事实上，你每天都在
做)”上下文一致，故选A。
37．F根据上文“Get walking! It's not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. (散步!不仅
仅是一些人认为它是一种主要的创造力助推器!”)以及后文“A Stanford University study found that participants were
81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—versus on a

creative work.(斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，参与者走路时的创造力比坐着时高出81%。根据这项研究，在户外行
走与在跑步机上行走相比，在步行后坐下来做创造性工作的参与者中产生了最亲颖和最高质量的类比”)可知，后
文提到了大学的户外行走的研究，可见有研究人员在研究走路和产生想法之间的联系。与F选项“Researchers
have traced connections between walking and generating ideas. (研究人员追踪了走路和产生想法之间的联系)”上下文一
致，故选F。
38．E根据上文“The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your
creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. (走路的动作显
然是关键。你可能听说过“锻炼你的创造力”这句话，它把大脑比作肌肉。我们的创造性思维是由身体运动激发

与E选项“That is why walking- with a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.(这就是为什么散步和朋友一起，或者独自一人一能培养创造性思维)”上下文一致。故选E。
39．C根据上文“But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey
reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation(停滞), the
antithesis of energy. (但风景几乎和汗水一样重要。全国人类活动模式调查显示，美国人 87%的时间都在室内度过。
待在室内，你更有可能停滞不前，这是能量的对立面。)”以及后文“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of
your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.
(只走出去，你就走出了你习惯的环境和你的舒适区，如果你想打开你的心扉，迎接新的可能性，这是必要的。)可
知，上文提到待在室内无法培养创造力，后文则建议走出去，可知本句属于过渡句，与C选项“Without energy,
you can’t wonder or create. (没有能量，你就无法好奇或创造。)”上下文一致，故选C。
40．D 根据后文“Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give
yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move.
Walk not just for exercise. (在接下来的四周里，要更密切地接触周围的环境。关掉手机，给自己一个融入世界的机
会，去倾听对话和自然的声音，去注意人们移动的方式。走路不只是为了锻炼。)”可知，后文主要提出了如何专注
地散步，融入世界，且提到“走路不只是为了锻炼。”，即设定创造性的目标。与 D选项“So why not set a
creativity goal that starts with walking? (那么为什么不从步行开始设定一个创造力目标呢?)”上下文一致，故选D。
3.【2023·第八届湖北省高三4月调研】
When I read that we spend almost three hours every day checking our smartphones, I was shocked. What was I missing
in the real world when walking down the street, lost in a virtual world of social media updates and videos of dogs on
bicycles? I promised myself I would use my smartphone less, but it didn’t happen. Then one day my phone died and I had to
wait a week for a new one.____36____I thought it would be hard, but in fact it was quite easy—and surprising in a good
way for a number of reasons!
The first consequence was quite amazing—On the first day in the office without my phone, I was thinking more deeply
and concentrating more. I rediscovered my brain!____37____Another consequence was that I actually talked to people
more and felt more connected to them. I realized I was being more responsive to their news and sympathetic to their
problems because I wasn’t constantly checking my phone. ____38____Their kindness made me feel welcome, and I
discovered my brain has very good GPS!
At the very beginning, I was worried that I would be bored without my phone, but actually I enjoyed it—I’d forgotten
how much I love books and newspapers.____39____And I also sensed that I slept so much better and felt more awake in the
morning.
At times it was inconvenient to have no mobile internet connection, but all in all, there were a lot of benefits from not
being connected 24/7. So, if you think you use your smartphone too much, put it away for a few days and see what
happens.____40____
A．Would I survive?
B．What’s the problem?
C．You never know, you may become smarter!
D．Without a phone at hand I was more productive.
E．Reading everyday made me feel a lot more special.
F．I’m a lot more careful about how much I use it now.
G．Another day I was in a new city and I asked people for directions.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者通过度过没有智能手机的一周，体会到了生活的简单快乐以
及工作效率的提高。36．A根据上文“I promised myself I would use my smartphone less, but it didn’t happen. Then one day my phone died
and I had to wait a week for a new one.”可知，作者保证过要少用智能手机，但没有实现，这次手机坏了，要等一周
才能拿到新的。由此推知，作者会担心没有智能手机的这周该怎么度过。A项“我能活下来吗？”符合语境。故
选A。
37．D根据上文“On the first day in the office without my phone, I was thinking more deeply and concentrating more. I
rediscovered my brain!”和下文“Another consequence was that I actually talked to people more and felt more connected to
them.”可知，下文提到了另一个结果——与人交往更多。由此推知，空处应承接上文，讲述没有智能手机在工作方
面给作者带来的好处。D项“没有手机干扰，我的工作效率更高”符合语境，由于思维集中，工作效率更高。故
选D。
38．G根据下文“Their kindness made me feel welcome, and I discovered my brain has very good GPS!(他们的友善让
我感到受欢迎，我发现我的大脑有很好的GPS！)”中的GPS推知，空处提到了一群帮作者指路的人。G项“另一
天，我在一个新城市，向人们问路”符合语境，下文their指代选项中提到的people。故选G。
39．E根据上文“At the very beginning, I was worried that I would be bored without my phone, but actually I enjoyed it
—I’d forgotten how much I love books and newspapers.”可知，没了手机作者可以通过阅读书和报纸来度过。由此推
知，空处应陈述和阅读有关的内容。E项“每天读书让我感觉更特别”符合语境，reading呼应上文的books and
newspapers。故选E。
40．C空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“So, if you think you use your smartphone too much, put it away for a
few days and see what happens.”并结合作者的亲身经历推知，空处承接上文指出不用智能手机会带来意想不到的结
果。C项“你永远不知道，(没有手机)你会变得更聪明”符合语境，对上文进行回应。故选C。

Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with good marks.
However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The
golden future will never be. ____ 3 6____
However, your choices affect your future in a way that is more complicated. ____ 3 7____ Your character is displayed
through your choices, but it is also formed by them. Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows,
depending on whether the decision you made is wise or foolish. ____ 3 8____ And so, you become the sort of person who
will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.
____ 3 9____ After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not
subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We
cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be
responsible for anything?
However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we respond to
circumstances. ____ 4 0____ It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the
future is unknown. You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your
character, then you do know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you
will be proud of.
A．Some will argue this is not true.
B．All these are from a bad choice!
C．Too many choices can be confusing.
D．This ability to choose how we behave is a great gift.E．We can choose to keep struggling in hard times, or to give up.
F．Your character is being made by you, bit by bit, choice by choice.
G．This is because nearly all the choices you make affect your character.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了选择的影响以及影响选择的因素。
36．B根据上文“Everyone knows that the choices we make affect our future. Suppose I am an intelligent student with
good marks. However, being lazy, I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good
job. The golden future will never be.(每个人都知道我们所做的选择会影响我们的未来。假设我是一个聪明的学生，
成绩好。然而，由于懒惰，我在考试中表现很差。我被大学拒之门外，也找不到好工作。美好未来永远不会有)”以
及下文陈述对选择对我们的影响推知，空处应引出话题。故B选项“所有这都来自一个坏的选择”符合语境，
these指代上文提到的“I do badly in my examinations. I am refused entry to university and cannot find a good job. The
golden future will never be”，“a bad choice”指上文的“being lazy”。故选B。
37．F根据上文“However, your choices affect your future in a way that is more complicated.(然而，你的选择以一种更
复杂的方式影响着你的未来)”以及后文“Your character is displayed through your choices, but it is also formed by them.
(你的性格是通过你的选择展现出来的，但它也是由你的选择形成的)”可知，后文提到了性格会影响选项，本句解
释上文“更复杂的方式”指的是性格。故G选项“这是因为你所做的几乎所有选择都会影响你的性格”符合语境，
故选G。
38．根据上文“Whenever you make a choice, your character changes or grows, depending on whether the decision you
made is wise or foolish.(每当你做出选择时，你的性格就会改变或成长，这取决于你做出的决定是明智的还是愚蠢
的)”以及后文“And so, you become the sort of person who will make a certain kind of choice in a certain situation.(因此，
你成为了那种在特定情况下会做出特定选择的人)”可知，性格是由选择塑造的。故F选项“你的性格是由你一点一
点、一个又一个选择塑造出来的”符合语境，故选F。
39．A根据后文“After all, the field of human choice is a narrow one. Most of the things that form us in our lives are not
subject to choice. We cannot choose when and where to be born, whether our families will be rich or poor, kind or cruel. We
cannot even entirely control who we will meet in our lives. With so much that we cannot choose, how can we be said to be
responsible for anything?(毕竟，人类选择的领域是狭窄的。在我们的生活中，构成我们的大多数事情都是无法选择
的。我们无法选择出生的时间和地点，无法选择家庭的富裕还是贫穷，无法选择善良还是残酷。我们甚至不能完
全控制我们在生活中会遇到谁。有这么多我们无法选择的东西，我们怎么能说对任何事情负责呢？)”可知，事实上
人们的选择很小，因此不可能对任何事情负责。由此推知，空处句子指出，有人反对“性格是由选择塑造出来”
这个观点。故A选项“有些人会认为这不是真的”符合语境，this指上段提到的“性格是由选择塑造的”。故选
A。
40．E根据上文“However, we do have some power of choice, and we do control the most important thing of all: how we
respond to circumstances.(然而，我们确实有一些选择的权力，我们确实控制着最重要的事情：我们如何应对环境)”
以及后文“It is our key to having confidence in the future. It is human nature to fear the future, as the future is unknown.
You cannot entirely control what will happen to you tomorrow. But if you have confidence in your character, then you do
know one thing for certain about the future: no matter what happens, you will make a choice that you will be proud of.(这是
我们对未来充满信心的关键。害怕未来是人类的天性，因为未来是未知的。你不能完全控制明天会发生什么。但
如果你对自己的性格有信心，那么你对未来有一件事是肯定的：无论发生什么，你都会做出一个令你自豪的选择)”
可知，本句主要说明我们可以选择的事情：在困难时期，我们可以选择继续奋斗，也可以选择放弃。故E选项
“在困难时期，我们可以选择继续奋斗，也可以选择放弃”符合语境，故选E。

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.___16___Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are
some principles you must master.

speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the”speaking. “ ___17___ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your
audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one
who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s
message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.___18___
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.___19___And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember,
even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
___20___It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t
count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience.
Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than
shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

evening. ___32___ I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a
week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer
chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. ___33___
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing
buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me
how creative my designs were. ___34___ I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into
something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with
me.
___35___My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My
brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in
autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.
【答案】31. G 32. D 33. A 34. F 35. E
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者养成几个生活习惯的原因。
31.设空在段中，应是承前启后句。根据后文“His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests
were far different from mine”可知，设空句应提及“his”的身份，即G项中的“My elder brother”，且G项“我哥哥
懒得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。故选G项。
32.根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知，D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照
片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D
项。
33.根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知，A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。
故选A项。
34.根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，F项“于是，我开始对制造东西
产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系，我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。F项切题。
故选F项。
35.根据后句“无论天气或季节，我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知，E项“我很早养成的
另一个习惯是去户外”和前句表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选
E项。
6.2020年1月浙江卷Let's take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water
to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.

light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want，but this is not the case for many people
around the world.___32___That's around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water，we can catch diseases
from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500，000 children die from diarrhea(腹泻)from dirty water. That's
around 1 ， 400 children every day ！ Also ， in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get
water.___33___Therefore，they don't have time to learn how to read or write and don't get an education.
___34___On this day every year，countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of
dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK，
children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.___35___People give them money to do this and
all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water，they can't go to school.

定3月22日为世界水日，并在当天举办活动来教育人们关于脏水的问题，让人们知道清洁的水是全世界每个人都
应该拥有的。
【31题详解】
根据下文For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light
or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.（例如，生产我们吃的食物的
农民，使用水使植物生长。当我们打开电灯或电视或电脑的开关时，我们使用能源，我们需要水来产生这种能

合上下文语境，故选F。
【35题详解】
根据前文At one school in the UK，children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.（在英国的
一所学校，10到15岁的孩子负重6升水来步行6公里）可推知本句承接上文继续说明这一做法的意义是让孩子们

7.2020年北京卷
Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems,
trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant
stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person
himself.____46____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an
issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to
stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.
____47____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better
physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's
ability to deal with problems and hardships.____48____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis
accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression
and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of
any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of
additional stress.____49____
In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality
of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a
problem.____50____
Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health.
A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.
B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.
C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.
D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.
F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.
G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了积极思考对人产生的各种益处，同时将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比
较，分析两种人的差异。积极思维是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。
【46题详解】
根据上文“Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events,
phenomena, people, or even the person himself.(自我对话是一个人持续不断的想法，他常常对一些事件、现象、人，
甚至是他自己都没有意识和不确定)”以及后文“Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks andstart to form a positive view on an issue.(同时，积极的思考可以帮助停止消极的自我对话，开始形成对一个问题的积
极的观点)”由此可知，上文对自我对话进行了定义，后文则提到了积极的思考可以有助于停止消极的自我对话，可
知本句是在说明消极的自我对话对人的不良影响。后文中negative self-talks可对应到B选项中Negative self-talk。
故B选项“消极的自言自语会损害自信，降低自尊”符合语境，故选B。
【47题详解】
根据后文“People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better
physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's
ability to deal with problems and hardships.(积极思考的人寿命更长，抑郁和焦虑率更低，身心更健康，死于心脏问
题的风险更低。积极的思考也有助于一个人处理问题和困难的能力)”由此可知，后文提到了积极思考对人的益处，
后文中People who think positively以及Positive thinking可对应到D选项中Positive thinking。故D选项“积极思考
对身心有几个有益的影响”符合语境，故选D。
【48题详解】
根据后文“For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a
natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety.(例如，研究人员发现，当危
机伴随着强烈的情绪时，比如自然灾害，积极的思考可以为抑郁和焦虑提供一种缓冲)”可知，后文举出的例子说明
了积极思考可以让一个人在面临危机时，保持冷静。故C选项“它帮助一个人在困难的情况下保持头脑清醒和自
信”符合语境，故选C。
【49题详解】
根据上文“Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of
any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of
additional stress.(积极思考的、有韧性的人倾向于把每一个问题都看作是一个挑战，一个改进的机会，或者一个个
人成长的机会。相反，悲观主义者倾向于将问题视为额外压力的来源)可知，上文在将积极思考者与悲观主义者相
比较，本句应承接上文，进一步解释说明悲观主义者在解决问题时一些性格特点。上文 Pessimists可对应到G选项
中They。故G选项“他们常常在试图解决问题之前就感到气馁，即使是很小的问题”符合语境，故选G。
【50题详解】
根据上文“In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the
quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.
(总之，积极思考是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。当一个人拒绝注意到一个问题时，它
与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系)”可知，本句承接上文进一步说明一个人拒绝注意到问题的影响，它与无知的乐观
主义没有任何关系，也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适。故A选项“它也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适”符合语境，
故选A。
