七选五、阅读和书面表达1、七选五An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You've never been to an American's home before, and you're not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? 1 When you're the guest, you should just make yourself at home.2 Giving your host a gift is not just a social nicety in some cultures-it's expected. But in American culture, a guest is not obligated to bringa present. Of course, some people do bring a small token of appreciation to their host. Appropriate gifts for general occasions might be flowers, candy or-if the family has small children-toys. If you choose not to bring a gift, 3 American hospitality begins at home-especially when it involves food. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day. When invitedfor a meal, you might ask, "Can I bring anything?" Unless it's a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, the host will probably respond, "No, just yourself." Formost informal dinners, you should wear comfortable, casual clothes. Plan to arriveon time, or else call to inform your hosts of the delay. During the dinner conversation, it's customary to compliment the hostess on the wonderful meal.4When you've had plenty, you might offer to clear the table or wash the dishes.But since you're the guest, your hosts may not let you. Instead, they may invite everyone to move to the living room for dessert with tea or coffee.5A.The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests upset.B.What should you do when you get there?C.What are you doing?D.Of course, the biggest compliment is to eat lots of food!E.it doesn’t matter either.F.After an hour or so of general chit-chat, it's probably time to leave.G.Do you believe so?【短文大意】本文为说明文，简单地介绍一些美国的待客礼仪，例如：去被人家做客要不要带礼物，该做些什么事情等。
解析：1.B。
联系前文Should you take a gift? How should you dress? ---（“该带一个礼物吗？该怎么穿？该几点到？”）推知这里填“到了那里该做什么？”2.A。
从本小段下面的文字说的是带礼物的事情，推知这段开头是问是否带礼物引出下文。
3.E。
从前文的“在一般情况下，带花或是糖果，如果这家人有小孩，玩具应当是恰当的礼物。
如果你选择--”推知这里用“不带礼物也不要紧。
”4.D。
从前文的“用餐时，习惯上，人们会称赞女主人烹调的美食。
”推知这里用“当然，最大的赞美是多吃！”可以承接前文。
5.F。
按照叙述的顺序和内容，这里是总结性的话，故用“聊个大约一小时或许就该离去了。
”来结束全文。
2、阅读文章A'Self-reward' may explain luxury purchases in ChinaChinese consumers' greedy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable, with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's luxury items.As China's economic miracle continues and spreads across second- and third-class cities, the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are unlimted.Luxury consumption in China now extends way beyond well-known car, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world, even passing that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to be continuing, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US.But more important, China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.China's high-quality red wine market also provides clear evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2013, China became the largest market for red wine in the world, even overtaking the French, with 1.86 billion bottles drunk in China last year. Over the past five years, China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.But far more attention is still paid to the visible signs of Chinese consumers' luxury shopping.Public consumption of such expensive, global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to "gain face" and publicly display social climbing through material possessions. Consequently, celebrity endorsement（名人代言） features heavily in the marketing of such luxury items.Private consumption of luxury items is, however, less well understood. According to my ongoing consumer research in this area, it is "self-reward" that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly tendency to the need to reward themselves for their success. But this has little to do with "gaining face" and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.1.What can we infer from the passage? .A. China's economic is always miracle.B.Chinese luxury consumption is only well-known car.C.Chinese luxury jet market is less growing in the world.D.Chinese luxury jet market is growing faster than the USA.2.The best title of this passage is .A.Why Chinese consumers seek for luxury goods and services.B.Why Chinese consumers are rich than those of the USA.C.Chinese consumers are more genous than those of the USA.D.Chinese markets of consumption are increasing very fast.3. What examples can stand for the development in the private luxury consumption?A. China's luxury jet and labour market growth.B. China's luxury jet and nice red wine market growth.C. China's economic miracle and red wine market growth.D. China's labour and nice red wine market growth.4.Why is there celebrity endorsement? Because .A. people compete in buying luxury goods for their “face”.B. people buy luxury goods for getting more money.C. people want to protect their material possessions.D. people want to gain their more material possessions.5.What tendency do Chinese consumers have? .A. To gain face than to do anything else.B.To get more money than to gain face.C.To reward themselves than to gain face.D.To get more money than to reward themselves.【短文大意】本文为新闻报道，主要叙述中国消费者对奢侈品狂热购买的原因：为了撑面子和自我奖赏。

2025届高考英语复习：专项（七选五＋完形填空＋读后续写）好题练习Ⅰ.七选五2024ꞏ吉林长春监测说明文285词★★★★☆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.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 (掉换) the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work？”．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 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 machines.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 problem statement is much more logical.B．Often it helps to add one or more key words 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.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.Ⅱ.完形填空2024ꞏ沈阳市质检记叙文268词★★★★☆After I gave birth, it seemed my brain had been dragged out of me along with my newborn son.

world.Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practicesto meet a parenting need,parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their children.Modern parents often look to the Internet and social media for parentingadvice.The availability of resources has helped modern parents engage more in their children’s development,both academically and emotionally.Modern parents are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise disciplined and confident children.A modern parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting,where parents are much too focused on their children.They help children with tasks they’r e capable of doing on their own,like selecting activities and friends for them,or calling their teachers about homework matters.Such a parenting style can hold back the development of the children’s ability to handle responsibilities independently.Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as doing laundry (洗衣),clearing their plates or coping with their schoolwork.Always protecting children from failures may also prevent them developing adaptability and acquiring skills like problem-solving.On the other hand,parents in the past tended to monitor less.Children were given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends.Domestic helpers were also not the norm then,hence children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework.Living in the pre-internet age,parents were less informed about different parenting methods,and their parenting styles were guided more by theirpersonalities,common sense and friendly advice from the extended family and neighbors,rather than by social media influences or parenting websites.There is no one right way to raise a child.Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present but not wandering,who are supportive but not controlling,and who protect but not care too much.4.What does the underlined word “tapping” mean in paragraph 1?A.Employing.B.Tracking.C.Monitoring.D.Identifying.5.What is a distinctive characteristic of helicopter parenting?A.Flexible.B.Efficient.C.Conventional.D.Overinvolved.6.What do we know about parents in the past?A.They educated kids in a rigid way.B.They overestimated their kids’ independence.C.They afforded kids more space for self-growth.D.They tended to stay away from social activities.7.What does the text mainly tell us?A.How to raise all-round children.B.How to enhance parent-child bonds.C.How parenting modes have shifted over the years.D.How information technology boosts people’s lifest yles.C(2024浙江台州二模)When I was in college,an acquaintance who had graduated a few years ago came back to visit for the weekend.As we walked around campus on Saturday night,he flung his hands into the cold air and exclaimed,“You guys are so lucky;you live a minute away from all your friends.You’ll never have this again.”At that time,I thought it was kind of sad — a grown man longing for my life of university housing and late library nights.But his words have stuck with me in the years since.“In adulthood,as people grow up and go away,friendships are the relationships most likely to suffer,” my colleague Julie Beck wrote in2015.Therefore,the older you get,the more effort it takes to maintainconnections,because you don’t have as many built-in opportunities to see yourfriends every day.The writer Jennifer Senior noted last year that the fact of our choosing friendships makes them both fragile and special.“You have to continuallyinvolve.That you choose it is what gives it its value,” she wrote.But that’s al so what makes friendships harder to hold on to as our lives evolve.It’s hard but not impossible.Senior notes that when it comes to friendship,“we are ritual-deficient.So we have to create them:weekly phone calls,friendship anniversaries,road trips,and so on.”“Friendship is the rare kind of relationship that remains forever available to us as we age,” Senior writes.“It’s a defender against stasis (停滞期),a potentialsource of creativity and revival in lives that otherwise narrow with time.”It’s something worth choosing,over and over again.8.It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that the writer’s friend probablyfelt .A.enviousB.irritatedC.sympatheticD.uneasy9.Julie Beck might agree that .A.it’s ridiculous for adults to long for campus lifeB.distance brings challenge to keeping friendshipsC.people do not create enough chances to meet with friendsD.when friends are apart,their friendships surely weaken as well10.The following ways can help people hold on to friendships except .A.celebrating important daysB.going on journeys togetherC.enlarging circles of friendsD.keeping in touch with friends11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The future of friendship.B.The origin of friendship.C.The nature of friendship.D.The definition of friendship.D(2024山东济南一模)In conversations with strangers,people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong.Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new.However,it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.In our research,we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%,40%,50%,60% of the time in a conversation with someone new.We found that the more they spoke,the more they were liked by their new partners.This was only one study with 116participants,but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings.Forexample,a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the roleof“speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”.After engaging in 12-minute interactions,listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners.This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up:Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.Further,we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time.The result shows it is not an ideal strategy.Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression.It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time.However,it does not reflect more natural conversations.Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.12.What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers?A.Speaking a little less is preferred.B.Speaking half the time is the best.C.Listeners are more likable than speakers.D.Listeners fail to control the conversations.13.How was the research carried out?A.By analyzing speaking habits.B.By making comparisons.C.By listing examples.D.By collecting data.14.What is the disadvantage of the research?A.The conversation time is limited.B.Further study is hard to continue.C.The findings are less widely appliable.D.Interactions with strangers are missing.15.In which situation can the research finding be applied?A.Attending a family gathering.B.Partying with your friends.C.Meeting a new teacher.D.Making a public speech.Ⅱ.七选五(2024浙江温州二模)Museums can be overwhelming.With thousands of pieces there,how do you know which to focus on?And once you see a piece you like,how do you interact with it?Here is some advice on how to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.Getupcloseandpersonal. 1 Therefore,take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen.That includes its look and the feel of its surface,the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.Standback.Next,take a few steps back,stand in the center —and observe what’s happening in the big picture.What’s going on in the piece? 2 What are they doing?How are they related?Lookatitfromanangle.Then try looking at an artwork from its sides,because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on.If it’s something like TheAmbassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London,if you stand to the side,you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 3 That’s called anamorphic art.Moveyourbody.If you’re looking at a painting,you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 4 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from theartist’s perspective.Considerthesubjectoftheart.That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work—and perhaps you can learn something from it.Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting,Christina’sWorld,which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance.The painting personifies (体现) determination. 5A.So just keep an open mind.B.What have they gone through?C.When you stand to the side,it changes.D.How are the figures in the piece arranged?E.We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.F.When looking at sculptures,try the poses with your body.G.It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.答案：满分练(四)

第16练阅读理解＋七选五Ⅰ.阅读理解AWith technology reducing distance every day，many moms now preferannouncing the birth of their child through social media channels likeFacebook.Though that isn’t entirely wrong，etiquette (礼节) expectsotherwise.Paper announcements are still the way to go.Most stationery (文具；办公用品) shops have ready－made announcements that require you to only fillout the details of your child.If you know the gender of your baby，selecting the right color combination is easier.However，you can keep that for later or go for a neutral (中立的) color such as yellow.The wording for a birth announcement is very simple.Start the announcement with a meaningful phrase or quote as introduction.Follow it up by announcing the birth of your child，his/her full name，birth date，birth time，height，weight，and place of birth.End the announcement by writing names of the parents.You have six months to send the announcements.Though most people stick to the “earlier the better” rule，we suggest somewhere around the end of the second month.With roughly 8 weeks behind you，you’re more at ease by then.Also，you have more time to understand the baby’s nature，which does play a part in designing the announcement at times.Around this time，you can get better photographs of the baby as well.Send the announcement to as many people as you want such as relatives，colleagues，friends，and even a few acquaintances；don’t hold back.It’s better to send it to more people than sending it out to a few，and missing out on someone.Get the maili ng list in order so that you don’t waste time making it later.【语篇解读】婴儿诞生，作为父母，最好的礼节是书面形式正式地通告各位亲友、同仁和熟人。
