高考英语七选五题型专练(一)To forgive may be wonderful, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.___1___ In??deed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Freder??ic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps:Calm yourself. Take a couple of breaths and think of some??thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. ___2___ Luskin says, “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean coming to terms with the person who upsets you or forgiving his or her action after your quarrel.___3___ Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. “Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.” Luskin says.___4___ If you attach great importance to that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear and eve n love. To gain others’ stand, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.___5___ Research has shown that people who forgive make a good show of more energy, better appetite and better sleeping patterns.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge." Luskin says, “but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”A. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.B. Break away from the influence of your offender on you early.C. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical andmental health.D. Try to see things from the other person’s stand.E. So it is difficult to forgive others and even yourself.F. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.G. Forgiveness is not good of people.(二)Why do some people have many friends while others do not? ___1___ However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy inte rpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois(伊利诺斯[美国州名]), where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. ____2_____. The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.___3___. After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all- white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes. Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent(化学作用) for brown color found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. ___4___. So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their success and sympathize with them in their troubles. ___5___.A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students.(三)Advertising Everywhere1 Now that messages can go around the world at high speed，the world is becoming smaller and products can be sold everywhere．But it is true that the problems of international advertising—problems of language and culture—have become larger than ever．For example，Braniff Airlines wanted to advertise its fine seals，but when its advertisement was translated from English into Spanish，it told people that they could fly without wearing clothes!To avoid problems in translation，most advertisement firms are now writing completely new ads．In writing new ads，international advertisers must choose different methods of advertising for different countries．In some countries，an advertisement usually gives a description of the productand explains why it is better than others． 2 But in Japan，the message is based more on situations and feelings than on words．For this reason，many television advertisements broadcast in Japan show people at a party，picnic，or in some other pleasant situations．They will not say that a product is better than others．Instead，the goal will be to create a good feeling aboutthe product3 For instance，certain countries will not allow TV advertisements on Sundays，and others will not allow them for children’s products on any day．The world advertiser who doesnot understand such laws aud customs will soon have problems．Finally，there is the choice of what to advertise． 4 So the best advertisement in the world means nothing if the product is not suitable for the market．Comparing such as McDonald’s in Hawaii，you will find Chinese food provided on the menu．If you stop at a McDonald’s in Germany，you can order a beer with your meal．All of these products must be sold with the right kind of message 5 But no matter how difficult this job may be，it is very important for global advenrtisers to do it well．Knowing how to advertise in the world market can help companies for success．A．People around the world have different likes and dislikes．B．This is true in the United States，Britain，and GemanyC．They just show how the product is madeD．In the advertising industry，selling products is the most important goalE．International advertisers must also consider differences in laws and customsF．It can be explained by a word，a passage，or even a pictureG．It can never be an easy job for advertisers to create message(四)I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 1 It turned out to be a group of four very hip Japanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.2 In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 3 I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.4 He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright.I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.5 Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.A.I couldn’t help but wonder.B.All of them went away at once.C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band.D.Everybody became angry with the old man.E.But no one knew what they could or should do.F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.(五)Sleep is something we all do. But some people need to sleep more than others. Babies sleep most of the time. Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most grown-ups sleep only seven or eight hours. 1All parts of our bodies have to rest after they work. Our arms need a rest after we lift heavy things. When we run fast, our legs work hard. They get tired. We have to rest them. Our brains work hard, too. 2 We can sit quite still and rest our arms and legs. But our brains aren’t resting. They go right on thinking as long as we are awake.Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream. 3 Instead of thinking wide-awake thought, our brains make up dreams. Some dreams are very pleasing. Some are not. Most of the time we forget them when we wake up.Scientists have tried to find out what would happen if people were not allowed to sleep. They asked some people not to go to bed. The people stayed up all night and all the next day. They stayed up the next night, too and the day after. They played games. But they made mistakes. They forgot things. 4 . The people grew rude and mean. They became angry with their friends. Finally they were too tired to stand up. The moment they sat down, they fell asleep.Scientists found that if people are not allowed to sleep, they act in an unusual way.5 But we do know that we need it to stay well.So tonight have a good sleep. Lie down under the covers. Shut your eyes. Let your thoughts travel about. Soon you’ll stop thinking. You’ll be asleep.A. But even as we sleep our brains are doing some work.B. It was hard for their tired brains to work.C. When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us.D. No one knows quite surely why sleep is so good for us.E. Good sleep helps to improve one’s memory.F. But babies, children and grown-ups ----all of us need to have our sleep.(六)It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. 1Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. 2 The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an org anized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.3 . It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.4 . It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan.5 . Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.A. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behavinglike children all their lives.B. It is called soccer in the United StatesC. The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United StatesD. Tennis rates high on the list, tooE. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularityF. people often work out to build up their bodies.G. not everyone likes ball games(七)1With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated（使孤立）us and made us feel more alone than ever before?What about you as an individual?● 2 The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world. We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago.●3 It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and tha world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep us away from people for a while, There is an inherent (内在的) human need for direct human contact (e.g. touching, talking face to face, etc.) that the Internet has all taken away.● 4 It has given me freedom beyond my imagination. I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to. My life is a bit too crowded. Duties duties duties. I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend. It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favour.●5 Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just th e Internet that has increased this sense of isolation，even iPods，MP3s，such devices kind of separate us，make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．A. I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us.B. I believe it unites us more than it isolates us.C. Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?D. What is happening in the world today?E. The Internet is playing a more and more important role.F. I think it has isolated us more.G. I am truly grateful for this new technology.(八)Brain TransplantsResearch on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years. 1 If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.The idea that a human brain could be transplanted (移植) may come from Frankenstein. In 2021, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin (海豚). 2 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They ha d a series of useful information, which was saved into a button –sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 3 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Rescarch Instance ofthe University of California. The experiment bad an entire transplant of the memory area. 4 The transplant was performed from a dog named Cenius to a dog named idiot. Cenius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It because an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.5 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Cenius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all.A．The experiment was a complete success.B．It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.C．Then it was released (释放) by means of electric power.D．Different images have different meanings in the memory area.E．Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.F．Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.G．One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.(九)(1) ______You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how: Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(2)______ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. (3)______ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. (4)_______ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.(5)_______ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E. Maybe you are an average student.F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G. This will help you understand the next class.(十)1Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects(方面) not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify(赞美) myself.True, I’m not modest at all. 2 But I think otherwise.3 I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?We Chinese are generally inclined(倾向的) to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic(乡巴佬) woman”or his writings “trash”, he would , I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. 4I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging(轻视的) a melon peddler, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really weet and juicy?Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affections of us intellectuals(知识分子)，were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication(贡献) and enjoyment of work.. 5 Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.A. I also appreciate other people.B. On Self-controlC. On Self-AppreciationD. People may call me conceited(自负的).E. We need appreciate ourselves.F. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases(停止) to admire his own essays.G. As a matter of fact, there is probably no differenc at all between what is said by him and you respectively(各别地).(十一)Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:Break a bad habit.You don’t really “break” habits. __1__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You ca n’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.Grow your marriage.2_. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to fin d it. __3__.Beat stress.My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __4__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’sa great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.Refocus your anger.Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __5__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.Don’t medicate(掺入药) with food.It never, ev er works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”A. You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it andthat doesn’t have unhealthy side effects.B. I’ll feel easy.C. If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately.D. You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems.E. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.F. Relationships are negotiated（协商）, and the negotiation never stops.G. You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.(十二)Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: "How do I get a good job?" 1 .There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and find the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in-person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2 . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the young man offered to take his place. 3 .4 . If the young man had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to get plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5 . And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.B．People find jobs in an limitless number of ways.C．It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewerall the company's faults.F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when you are given one.(十三)McDonald's Corporation （NYSE: MCD）is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily．______1____Brands （KFC, Taco Bell and others）and sandwich chain Subway．In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald’s Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A Manger until 2021, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2021 and the restaurant chain Boston Market until 2021．______2___The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants．____3_____In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified its menu to include such healthier alternatives as salads, wraps and fruit．The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California．Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant．The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee．" Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963．The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings．The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall．___4____Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry．The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography．_____5____A．McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts．B．The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument．C．At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since beensurpassed by multi-brand operator Y um!D．Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself．E．The company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal options。

Later, the organizing committee's ambulance rushed him to the local hospital.What should you do if you encounter a snake while you are outside? Remember: first of all, do not excite it. Data show that people who excite snakes are easily bitten. __3__ Second, avoid the places where snakes like to stay. Snakes like to sunbathe during the day, and usually stay on gravel and cliff edges. Third, if you happen to see a snake crossing through the road, you must stop and wait for it to pass.__4__ First, sit down and try to avoid the acceleration (加速) of blood circulation. Then tie the limb 10－30 cm above the wound with a strong rope, and make a cut about 1 cm above the wound. The cut should be 1－2 cm wide, and then you squeeze blood from top to bottom. Generally, snake bites occur at the ankle. __5__ Furthermore, be sure to call the ambulance ASAP.A．He sensed that his situation was not good.B．Then what to do if you're bitten by a snake?C．So staying still can prevent you from meeting a snake.D．He thought his high-end shoes could protect against the snake.E．However, those who run immediately are less likely to be bitten.F．In this case bending the knee to reduce the flow of blood can be helpful.G．Despite the language barrier, he understood what had happened.Test 2[2020·武汉市部分学校高三在线学习摸底检测]Nothing stays the same for long: things and people change.I grew up on a small farm, where a flock of sheep wandered around the surrounding mountains. My father was not highly educated, but he was smart. He was a man made of leather and chewing tobacco who rarely tried to talk with my brother or me. He was quiet and distant, I might say. __1__ One day I came home and his car was already there. __2__ In fact, when he came home, he went to the barn (谷仓) to labour even more. I still remember hiding around the corner and stealing a look at my father lying bitterly on the bed that day. Multiple myeloma, I learned, is a type of blood cancer. __3__ For the last year of my father's life, his entire day consisted of rising from his bed and walking to his chair to sit and think alone.He was predictably in that chair on his own when I came in. __4__ He told me about his life, his heartbreaks and his loves. It was as if a pipe had burst, his inner self rushing out to me in a great flood. He had been speaking for maybe an hour or more when I realized that he was doing more than telling. He was asking to be understood in a way that he had never done before.__5__ I realize, though, that if he hadn't, I might never have come to know him and love him.A．My father never missed work.B．I did not like him very much.C．He was skillful at any farm work.D．He became better after some special treatment.E．I'm certainly not glad that my father got sick.F．As the disease develops, the person who has it shrinks.G．What followed still moves me these decades later.Test 3[2020·太原市高三年级模拟试题(一)]Can't Resist Junk Food? A Study SuggestsYou Try This Simple TrickYou're tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken! __1__ New research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.Let's take a closer look at his process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catching your nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you're standing in line after a couple of minutes? __2__ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.The results of a series of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria, show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e.g., cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g., strawberry smell). __3__ That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth, which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.__4__ When the exposure to smell of healthy food was examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food is not connected with reward in our brain and therefore has little influence on what we desire.So next time you're feeling you don't have the willpower to resist that Frech fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just two minutes. __5__A．But wait a minute before you order.B．It's a response that has been researched.C．Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.D．It isn't quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.E．However, it's not the same case with smell of healthy food.F．It's the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.G．The brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell and taste.Test 4[2020·石家庄市高三年级阶段性训练题]While marathon study sessions may be unavoidable sometimes, do your best to manage your time effectively.Reduce your workload by studying more efficiently. Before you start studying always read your task sheet to make sure you're focusing on the right topics. __1__ This saves you looking it up. Finally, pick out the most important information, so you can study it first.__2__ Make sure you have everything you need, so you won't need to get up every few minutes to get something. Neatly place your textbooks, pens, notebooks and other study materials in your study space. This way you can easily get what you need without taking an unplanned break.Plan out your study sessions in advance. Think about the time you'll need for each task, add 10% extra time for insurance, and then schedule blocks for your tasks. __3__ Remember to include short breaks every hour or so.Break up difficult tasks into smaller steps. Tasks such as “Study for the History Final”or “Write the Term Paper” can seem unapproachable. Instead of getting confused and upset, divide big tasks into small ones. If you're studying for a final of a course, start by looking over past tests and quizzes. __4__ Smaller study tasks may also include creating outlines that summarize textbook chapters.Do your best to space out your study sessions instead of cramming (突击准备). Whenever possible, give yourself time to study a little bit at a time. It's better to study for three separate three-hour sessions instead of one marathon nine-hour session. __5__A．Choose a quiet spot for studying.B．Prepare your area before you start studying.C．Schedule your toughest and most important tasks first.D．Study difficult subjects first to get them out of the way.E．Then divide the course into its units, and study one unit at a time.F．Additionally, ask your instructor to explain any topic that confuses you.G．Multiple shorter sessions will help you remember more information in the long run.阅读七选五技能保分练(三)Test 1语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我——完善自我——如何建立终身学习的思维模式[文章大意]文章介绍了建立终身学习的思维模式的方法：挑战传统思维、把错误变成机会、从失误中学习、运用成长型思维模式、设定目标避免压力。
高考英语一轮复习七选五专练八篇含答案
七选五专题演练八篇仿真演练(一)Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush.__1__. Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. __2__, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.__3__. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard.Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. __4__ when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard.__5__. You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节约的) and environmentally friendly.A. Finally, they are easy to maintainB. They are extremely easy to installC. lastly, they do not require direct electricityD. Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resourceE. Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shockF. In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase eitherG. If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights（二）A New Trend of Micro MuseumsIs Making Science PortableScience museums are amazing. You can see large dinosaur bones from the huge creatures that disappeared thousands of years ago or take a look at cells under a microscope. __1__.You can learn so much at a science museum if living close enough to one. However, for those who don't live in a city, getting a chance to visit science museums is not easy. “__2__, their influence is limited. There just aren't enough science museums,” said Charles Philipp. “And due to the high costs，it's unlikely that we'll be seeing a bunch of new traditional science museums popping up all over the country anytime soon.”Philipp and his partner Amanda Schochet have decided to reinvent science museums by getting them small. They founded MICRO, a nonprofit organization that builds tiny 6foottall science museums, which are portable and replicable(可复制的). __3__. They can get access to it for free in such places as waiting rooms of hospitals, libraries, airports, and even shopping malls.__4__, they made it with the help of a team of engineers, storytellers and designers. Each of the micro museums has a scientific topic. The first museum is the Smallest Mollusk(软体动物) Museum showing the world of mollusks, which has won great popularity as the only museum devoted just to mollusks. A second museum is the Perpetual Motion Museum that focuses on physics and engineering and will officially open next year. It asks why things move, and why they stop. __5__. Hopefully one will come to a neighborhood near you soon.A．Science museums are beneficialB．While the content is vitally importantC．Although it costs nothing to visit museumsD．The plan is to get people of all ages connected with scienceE．Even though making the tiny museums a reality was difficultF．Such new museums allow people to explore fun scientific topicsG．You can also learn to think like an engineer by building a model ship（三）Flextime is a flexible hours’ schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. __1__For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. __2__ For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity, as in the case of someone who would prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.__3__ First, it tends to increase employees' satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a greater portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.Most flextime schedules include core time. __4__ Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not violate laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office. __5__ Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.D．It is a period of the day in which everyone is expected to be at work.E．Many employers all over the world offer this method to their employees.F．For example, home offices are increasingly popular among many companies.G．It allows them to make changes to their work schedule which will suit their lives.（四）During your university education, you'll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. __1__. That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor's evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. _ _2__.Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the reader's side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. __3__. On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader's doubt.So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism(抄袭). __4__. If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!__5__. For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.A．Some university students may cheat in different waysB．These include other scholars' ideas, figures, graphs and so onC．The academic challenge you face is to make something originalD．Often, students want to use others' opinions to support their own essaysE．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the researchF．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectationsG．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior（五）A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ____1____ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. _____2_____But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things , that humans used to have to do all the time. ____3____ The original idea of parkour was to returnto running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. ____4____Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. ____5____ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.A. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.B. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment.C. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.D. Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.F. The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.G. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!（六）Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your owntongue!1 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults. This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships. Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improved physical health, too. 2Avoid fueling verbal fire. When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response. Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower. How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten! 3 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒), but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Stop complaining. We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others. 4 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want.Do think before you speak. 5 It is useless regretting. It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword. Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?A．You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.B．Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.C．We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.D．Once the words leave your mouth, it is impossible to take them back.E．The longer you think, the better you'll speak.F．The more they do so, the more they are disliked.G．Think twice before speaking.（七）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person’s brain takes in and processes information. ___1___ The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.Learning disabilities aren’t contagious(传染的), but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. ____2____Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don’t have to figure all this out on their own. ___3_____ Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. ___4_____ But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.To make this special help really work, you’ll need to practise the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. ____5____ Soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: More fun and success at school!A．As a result, some people learn differently.B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.C．That can be a challenge, but you can do it.D．You might feel different from everyone else.E．There are people who know how to do just that.F．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.G．But you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.（八）A Memorable Science ProjectIf someone tells you to remember a phone number or address, it feels like an easy task at first. You repeat the numbers to yourself, either aloud or in your mind. But after just a few seconds you might find yourself starting to doubt your own memory. 1 Thus, it will try to throw awayinformation that seems old or irrelevant. There are ways of helping our minds retain(记住) information, however, and in this activity you will explore ways that we lose and keep memories.Shortterm, or working memory, is a way of describing most people’s abilities to store a small amount of information for a brief period of time in a readily accessible form. 2 People don’t have to stop and think to remember something in shortterm memory.3 Such techniques include visualizing(观察) the information in a surprising way or linking pieces of information together so that one reminds you of the other. In the case of visualizing information, this could be as simple as remembering you parked your car on the fifth floor in the D section by picturing five dogs sitting in your car！4 If you need to purchase cereal(谷物), milk, fruit, cheese and eggs, you could imagine the cereal in a bowl, with milk pouring over it and pieces of fruit on top. Then imagine cracking an egg over everything, and it’s full of melted cheese! These may seem simple or even silly.5 In this activity you’ll test the recall of a few friends or family members, and learn a few tricks for improving memory!A．There are many techniques for improving memory.B．Our brain is always seeking new and useful information.C．Shortterm memory has a short duration but is quickly and easily accessed.D．In addition，linking information could help you remember your grocery list.E．Retaining that information over longer periods of time becomes difficult yet.F．Your shortterm memory has a limited amount of space to store information.G．However，they are proved to be good ways for improving memory by scientists.答案（一）1-5 GFBEA（二）GBDEF(三) EGADF(四) CBEGF(五) BGEFA(六) BGAFD （七）AFBDC (八) BCADG。

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1.

The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.A. to show her politenessB. not to eat muchC. to show her great interest in foodD. to hide her dislike to the food3.

主题语境--人与自我第一练七选五Passage1-4突破练-保分必拿限时：14 分钟Passage1语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--生活与学习词数：约225three simple techniques.1 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free.2 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 4 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.C. The second draft of the essay should be better.D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.F. Many beginning writers don't leave enough space to revise.G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.Passage2语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--积极的人生态度词数：约225 Work, family and world events can be so stressful that it feels like optimism and joy are far out of reach. Anyone can get stuck in a bad mood _but you don't have to stay there! 1Once you're in a mood you need to shake, start by going to your happy place. 2 If not, keep a photo on your phone or computer of a beautiful, favorite place and take a moment to imagine you are there. What's the weather like? Whatdoes the air smell like? What are you doing while you're there? How does being there make you feel? You'll instantly feel calmer, lost in the daydream or the memory of your happy place.We can make our situations worse by keeping thinking about negative thoughts. 3 " Bad things always happen to me, " becomes "What lesson can I learn from this situation?" "I wasted the whole day," becomes "I still have 5 more hours left to make today a great day!"Whether it is going for a coffee at your favorite cafe, or catching a movie in the theatre, make sure that once a week you schedule some "me" time. 4 That may mean getting less done during the day, but you deserve to take a mental break, regularly. So give priority to the time you need to recharge.5 Whether it's a rare bit of easy traffic on your way to work or a break in the weather, you won't have time to complain about the negative things because you're so busy being grateful.A. You can also volunteer at your local shelter.B. It helps focus on the present and clear your mind.C. Thankfully, there are ways you can get back on track.D. If you're able, get into nature and breathe the fresh air.E. Relieve your stress and refresh your mind, body and spirit.F. When a negative thought flashes, replace it with a positive one.G. When a negative attitude takes over, shake it off by practising gratitude.创新练-高分必抢限时：19 分钟Passage3语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我--个人经历词数：约320 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.1 About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs! The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. 2Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. 3 You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as cruel. For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March wouldhave very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. 4 In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. 5 The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It's absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor.A. The list goes on.B. But this is not always the case.C. Our voyage was the last of the season.D. I was not the only one who felt this way.E. I, years later, did return to this fascinating place.F. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive.G. Everything has a purpose, and the cycle of life is evident.Passage4语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--健康的生活方式词数：约215routine. 1 Here are several ways for you to keep moving in hot weather and some tips for safely keeping active in the summer heat.2 Drink 16 to 24 ounces of water, sports drinks, or other liquids around twenty minutes before you begin. Try to avoid drinks that contain caffeine, a chemical substance, because that will cause you to lose water.Choose a proper time in the day to exercise. Avoid the hottest time of the day — between 11 am and 3 pm. 3 Also take care to watch the weather and avoid exercising when humidity (湿度) is high.Dress for the heat. Make sure you wear light breathable clothing before working out in the heat. Some materials like nylon easily absorb sweat and evaporate it much better than cotton. 4 If you become very hot, pour cold water into your hat to help you feel cooler.5 Remember to use a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher and apply it every two hours or after you work up a sweat. Avoid getting sunburned because it decreases your body's ability to cool itself down and also increases the risk of skin cancer.A. Wear proper sunscreen.B. Take food and water with you.C. If you exercise earlier, it'll be safer.D. But don't let a heatwave keep you down.E. Choose light colors and also have a hat on.F. And work out early in the morning or late in the day.G.

This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend. 1For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, " That's what I say. " 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat. "That's what I say" throughout the play.At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped up with "That's what I say". I hadn't known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a standout in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dishwater. 4 If everyone is a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be. 5A. So it is in life.B. It was not to be.C. It was anything but a great part.D. My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.E. It took the entire cast to make a good show.F. There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.G. I would hope all children could be a hit in life.创新练-高分必抢限时：20 分钟Passage7语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--做人和做事词数：约255 It was time for Macy to move. She booked a few house viewings and after looking at three places, she fell in love with one house. But that night a feeling of doubt and uncertainty entered her head. 1 Will the others be cheaper?We've all found ourselves in such situations, whether we're considering job offers or buying a new car. It's a problem that involves mathematics and psychology. And it's got a name: the optimal (最优的) stopping problem. 2 It's askinghow long we spend sampling options to give the optimal chances of a successful final decision.Mathematicians have given us an answer: 37%. The basic idea is that, if we need to make a decision from 100 different options, we should sample and give up the first 37. 3 It's a period during which we identify what works and what does not. From the rejected 37%, we choose the best and keep that information in our heads moving forward.Mathematics offers us the best answer to the " optimal stopping problem". But there's just one big issue: Humans are not rational(基于理性的)probability-calculating machines. In fact, the opposite is usually true. 4 In the psychological and economics field, there is an " explore/ exploit trade-off (探索/利用权衡)".This asks whether we should go with a guaranteed "win " ( exploit) or risk going somewhere else for an unknown outcome (explore). The degree to which someone will explore or exploit depends on various factors. 5 Of course, different people are more exploitative or exploitative at different times. Teenagers and traders tend to explore more. Adults and managers exploit more.A. What if the next house is better?B. How much does it cost a month?C. The 37% rule is not some mindless, automatic thing.D. And it ties in with how curious or risk-seeking we are.E. It's then necessary for us to improve our computing power.F. So it falls on psychology to tell us about how we actually behave.G. The mathematical question for Macy concerns maximizing probabilities.Passage8语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--日常生活词数：约300 If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. 1 , creating an itch that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?Why does a mosquito bite itch?When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva(唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign things, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. 2 It's actually the body's response to the foreign mosquito proteins it is trying to fight. That's why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign proteins, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.What helps resist the urge to scratch?"Don't scratch" is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames(使更棘手)the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. 3 ,”warned DanielMarkowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedies (疗法). Choosing what's right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence that these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. 4 5Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, V osshall said.

If you choose a desert cactus (仙人掌) as your starter plant, that's fine. 2 That you see a particular species everywhere doesn't mean it's an easy plant to grow. It may be everywhere because it's easy to reproduce in a greenhouse, not at home. Some houseplants that are easy to care for include sweet flag, bamboo, spider plants, etc.3 With too little light, plants will produce small-sized leaves and become leggy. And too much light can result in plants with burn marks and dry leaves. Therefore, you should know what plants need what light and ensure them the right light.Plants also need water to grow. The amount of water plants need depends on the type of the plant.Understanding whateach plant needs will help you water it properly. 4 Even the same species in the same situation in different pots may need water at different times.

Remember, this is only one opportunity, and there will be more.3Once you've spent some time reviewing the interview, ask yourself if there is anything you can learn from your mistakes. Did the interview go poorly because you were late? Were you too stressed? Did you give a wrong answer to a common interview question? 4 You can prepare better for your next interview.Request a second chance.No one wants to ruin an interview, but employers are humans too and understand that people have bad days. If you think you've blown an interview, don't just give up. Although there's no sure-fire success, it's always a good idea to send a thank-you email after your interview, and it can't hurt to explain in the email why you were off your game. 5 Even if you can't save an interview that went poorly, there are things you can do to help reduce the stress. Take a deep breath and move on to the next opportunity.A. Look for lessons.B. Admit your mistakes.C. However, don't think about it for too long.D. Then ask if there is any way you can meet again.E.

Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. 3 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age.

The good news is that you don't have to go backwards to avoid the dangers of social media. 2Set time limitsTry the Pomodoro Technique. 3 Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute periods separated by 5-minute breaks.

Then when the timer rings, step away from your device and turn off those notifications. 4 The infinite scroll (无限滚动) , as it's termed by developers, is specifically designed to keep you aimlessly looking at news feeds and passively taking in everything you see. Before you go online, decide what you're going for and stick to it. In this focused way you can go straight to what you want to see without mindlessly scrolling for things that don't support your intentions.Avoid comparison5 This famous saying has never been truer than when we see other people's seemingly " perfect lives" online.

You can use it to move between the different controls.The touch screen is a single system for many controls in your car. So simple? Actually, not simple at all, 2 It will always be more challenging to use. It will likely take more time to use for each function.Worse still, the touch screen mayalso put you at greater risk of being in an accident.In a car with buttons and other physical controls, you can often perform the same tasks without looking. 3 And you most likely receive physical feedback (反馈) through your fingers letting you know you've succeeded. Buttons are probably faster than touch screens. With a button, you reach over and easily get your fingers on it.4 They may be effective, but many also require multiple attempts to work. If you've ever asked your phone to do something, you know there are still challenges in speech recognition.However, if you need to use the touch screen to control systems in your car, I have a few suggestions.Get your basic setup running before your car is running down the road. If you have a passenger, let that person control the touch screen. 5A. But this also means extra steps for each action.B. The touch screen is far more complex than buttons.C. New cars are often completely touch screen-controlled.D. Physical controls have great advantages over touch screens.E. Always keep your eyes on the road instead of the fancy screen.F. You know when your hand is in the right place to use the controls.G. Some cars with touch screen controls can respond to voice commands.Passage16语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与社会--人际交往词数：约240There is no denying that it's hard to cheer up a friend when you can't be by their side.

There were times when I had to struggle with her. 2 I simply thought, “Everyone else is just staring and that is wrong. They should offer us help instead of staring at us like it’s a circus act(马戏表演).”I had this in mind when I was travelling alone recently and saw a mother and her son with special needs at the airport gate. 3 They were heading towards the gate of their second departure of the day. The mother was obviously stressed out and trying to keep her son calm while some items were falling out of her unzipped(拉开拉链的) backpack. The son was pulling strangers’ clothes, and she appeared to be embarrassed about it. Then the boy began to scream, looking very scared and confused.Some people gave the son and mother strange look, the same kind of look my sister and I would sometimes get. 4 I tried to help calm the boy down by assuring him he was going to see his grandmother as his mum kept telling him. When the boy finally calmed down, I returned to my seat. At the time, an older gentleman turned around and said to me,“I thought about doing what you did, but I just thought about it. You did it.”To be honest, I didn’t even really regard what I did as something different or good. 5A.They had got off another plane.B.People would stare at us even more.C.I don’t know what I should do to help.D.But I stood up and asked if I could lend a hand.E.I just consider it as the only choice in that situation.F.I was so angry that I shouted loudly at the strangers.G.I had no idea what impact she would have on my daily life.Test2(2021·广东佛山4月质量检测)Why Do Movie Theatres Serve Popcorn?The delicious smell. The crunchy(爽脆的) bite. The buttery finish. People will recognise the smell and flavour of their favourite moviegoing snacks anywhere. Why is it that we feast our taste buds on these crisp kernels while our eyes focus on the big screen?1 The main reason is the snack’s price, convenience, and timing. Popcorn was cheap for sellers and for customers, and making it didn’t require special equipment.2 That is how popcorn got introduced to the silver screen.Popcorn does not refer to the popped kernel alone. 3 It was originally grown in Central America and became popular in the US in the mid-1800s. Compared with other snacks at the time, it was super easy to make, and it got easier when the mobile steam power popcorn-maker was invented. In the late 19th century a large number of independent popcorn suppliers became widely available. 4 Since popcorn was cheap to make, it was also cheap to buy, which increased the popularity of this snack during the Great Depression. The Depression increased consumer spending on cheaper luxury items such as popcorn and movies, and the two industries teamed up. 5 By the mid-1940s, however, movie theatres began to have their own concession stands in the lobby. The introduction of the popcorn-driven concession stand to movie theatres kept the movie theatre industry running smoothly, and popcorn has been a basic movie-watching food ever since.A.A few aspects made popcorn the typical movie snack.B.They were like the great-great-grandfathers of food trucks.C.Therefore, movie theatres attracted more and more customers.D.The secret of popcorn’s pleasant taste lies in the special material.E.It’s also the name for the specific type of corn that is used to make the snack.F.Theatres would allow a popcorn salesman to sell popcorn outside for a daily fee.G.Popcorn also got popular at a time when theatres badly needed an economic increase.Test3(2021·湖北武汉高三4月质检)How to Choose the Right University Degree for YouChoosing the right university degree is perhaps one of the biggest decisions that you might make in your life. If you are in the process of applying to a university and aren’t sure which degree to choose, here are some things you can do to help you make the right choice.1Many teens who are in the process of applying to a university end up being pressured by parents or other family members to apply to study subjects that they are good at but don’t really enjoy. 2 Remember, it’s always easier to improve your knowledge and skills around a certain subject if you are truly passionate about it.Get some work experience.There’s nothing like actually experiencing something to help you determine what you might want to do. 3 But you may be able to spend a day in the office or workplace shadowing people who work in those careers and asking them questions.Think about your future goals.When you think about your future goals, don’t just think about the work that you want to do—consider the other goals that you have for your life as well. 4 If so, a career as an English teacher or a translator might be the perfect option for you. Perhaps you want a job where you can help others everyday, and then medicine, nursing or counselling could be an ideal choice. 5 Then degrees in film, art, and architecture are great choices.A.Think about what you like.B.Do you want to travel a lot?C.You don’t have to be employed.D.Think about what you’re good at.E.Maybe you want to have many fans.F.Try not to let others push this on you.G.Maybe you’re a very creative person.Test4(2021·湖南长郡十五校高三联考第二次考试)Being a teenager can be difficult, since you’re dealing with higher expectations and the process of finding your place in the world. 1 The following are things you can do to achieve that!2 Everyone is different in their teenage years.

Go ahead and do what you want, without factoring others’ opinions in.Work on your work ethic(职业道德). What you accomplish in your teenage years may determine your opportunities in your adulthood, so dedicate some time to studying and do your best. Learn how to prioritise, whether it’s with schoolwork, or any extra-curricular activities. Boost your studying skills.4Keep good relations with your family as much as possible. 5 It’s the building blocks for all relationships you develop, whether they’re friendships, romantic relationships, or a family you choose to have later on in life.

Tea is not just a drinkable beverage (饮料), but also a taste of Chinese traditional culture and inheritance (继承) of spirit. Unsurprisingly, there are various tea-leaves in China.________Color________Good green tea-leaves have jade green with fresh vitality. Twisted pan green tea shows glossy gray green. If some of the tea-leaves have dry, dark and brown color, it means it is old tea.

Many people practice flying a hot-air balloon as a sport. ________ Some people may question the safety of riding ahot-air balloon. Generally speaking, hot-air balloons are quite safe.Before examining the safety of hot-air balloons, it may help to understand how they work. Each balloon has a large bag called an envelope, attached to a bag or gondola(吊篮). In order to get enough lift, the air in the bag is heated with the assistance of a flame. As the air heats up, the balloon rises. ________Like kites, hot-air balloons travel with the wind. Typically, pilots choose the early morning hours to fly since wind speeds are low. ________ Meanwhile, the flight will become more enjoyable.________High winds and extreme weather such as storm and snow are very dangerous. An experienced pilot will not fly in these conditions. Good pilots always check their equipment before beginning a flight, and they often carry backup for safety even in sunny days.Riding hot-air balloons can be great fun, and it's very safe as long as passengers follow the directions of the pilot. ________ People who have a fear of heights may want to skip the experience, however.A. Of course, some people enjoy it as a relaxing activity.B. Low wind speeds make flying hot-air balloons much safer.C. This, of course, is for those who love to challenge themselves.D. The requirements of flying a hot-air balloon vary in different nations.E. The weather is the most important concern in the safety of hot-air balloons.F.

When the flight is over, the pilot slowly lets out air to allow the balloon to drop.You probably know that exercise is good for you. Studies show that it can prevent many major health conditions, including cognitive decline, diabetes, certain cancers and more.________"Our lives are completely full. We may have children, aging parents, jobs, partners, and community," says Barbara Hannah Grufferman, author of The Best of Everything After 50.If you don't have a regular exercise plan, don't worry! There are simple things you can do to get more exercise, no gym membership or hours of commitment required.Walk-and make it countEven if you're not in shape, you can likely walk. And that's good news, because many studies illustrate that it's one of the best things we can do for our bodies. Grufferman suggests getting a pedometer(计步器），whether it's a simple mechanical one, or a FitBit or Jawbone.________ And then, start walking faster and longer-most experts recommend walking 10,000 steps a day. Reduce sittingYou've probably heard," sitting is the new smoking." Well, this means that loads of research has shown that sitting for extended periods of time can have serious health consequences that range from obesity to diabetes and more. ________ It's also essential to take breaks from your sit-down desk.Run if you canIt might seem out of reach, but if you can add some light running into your daily walk, you'll be better for it. Running can make you happier, strengthen your joints, improve heart health, and improve your memory! ________ Then, go for longer distances gradually.Make it a habitTo truly make exercise-even the basics-a part of your life you'll need to make it a habit. "The good news is that it's never too late to start," says Grufferman. ________A. Track your steps because it's very motivating.B. But finding time to get more exercise can be challenging.C.

When first introduced in Japan in 1999, emojis were limited to 176 simple designs. Now there are more than 3,000 emojis. Due to their popularity, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was a pictograph instead of a traditional word.In today's world, emojis have become more and more popular.________ People like them because they add emotional meanings, and are quick and easy to use. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words.________ For instance, if your friend is moving across the country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.________ A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare's popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. Some people, however, believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare's plays.As we can see, emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place. Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way we communicate and express ourselves. But this makes others, especially educators, worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word, or even the spoken word. After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call?________ On that day, emojis will have become a real pictorial "language". But, for now, maybe it's best that we just enjoy using them.A. Maybe emojis' best days are ahead.B. The most popular emojis are absolute classics.C. The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature.D. Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures.E. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language.F. Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings.G. Emojis can also help people express their feelings when they can't find the appropriate words.The WHO says that 80% of the world's teens don't get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report was based on research done with students aged 11 to 17 in 146 different countries.________ It's a pity that not much has changed since then, as the WHO reports.Doctors say 60 minutes of exercise daily is needed for teens to build up their bone and muscle strength. It's also hugely important for the health of the heart and lungs. ________ Besides, more and more research is showing that exercise doesn't just help the body, but also the brain, improving thinking, test scores, and school grades.________ They were also very different between boys and girls. In the US, for example, 64% of boys were not active enough, compared to 80% of girls. South Korea was the country with the lowest activity levels — 91% of the boys and 97% of the girls didn't get enough exercise.One big reason for the lack of activity in today's teens is technology, such as smartphones, computers and TVs. Many teens find it hard to pull themselves away from them. ________So the WHO warns that teens need to do less playing in the digital world, and more playing in the real world. Teens should take part in sports, whether on official teams or just playing around on the playground. ________ For many people, walking or biking to school is one way to make that happen. It's very important for young people to build these habits now, because the positive effects of those habits can carry through into adult life.A. Exercise benefits you academically.B. Activity levels vary from country to country.C. The WHO has spared no effort in the research.D. Such inactivity can severely affect their growth.E. Exercise can also be built into a normal day's activities.F. Regular activity can help them control their weight, too.G. The WHO has been studying teen activity levels since 2001.。

Brooke also competed in the high jump, an event which involves equipment that her training team doesn't even have. 2The girls, who live in a homeless shelter with their mother, Tonia Handy, 46, were able to attend the games thanks to support from the girls' training team and a successful GoFundMe campaign. Handy, however, could not afford a plane ticket of her own to watch them compete in person.That was until Ken Smaltz Jr., a complete stranger, read about the family. 3 “It just feels nice to help someone,” Smaltz said, who also didn't intend for the gesture to be made public.On August 1, Handy surprised Rainn by showing up to the track right before she was about to run the 3,000 m race.Rainn was extremely excited. The mother and daughter hugged six times before they took each other's hands and walked to the track together.4Although the family's athletic accomplishments are grand, their needs are simple.“Do you have money to eat?”R ainn whispered into her mom's ear after her race.5 “For me to be out here is an impressive achievement on its own.”A.

To stop when you're full is extremely hard when everyone is eating. Try some tight clothing or a secure belt. 2 It's time to leave the table.3 Eat a snack or mini-meal earlier in the day. Have something with lots of fiber. This will help control your appetite so you won't eat that much at dinner.Only eat what's really special. Don't eat it just because it's there. Get your calories from your favorites, not the food you can have every day. Limit yourself to two items at a time rather than filling your plate with a serving of everything.4Skip post-dinner eating. This is a big one, so plan for it in advance of the party or holiday meal. Avoid the late-night turkey sandwich. Only eat an apple if you are truly hungry.There are so many eating options during the holiday season. However, by setting your own rules, you can guide your way from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day with amazing success. 5 Take charge of your choices this year!A. It's time for a change.B. Eat before a large meal.C. You may fear that you'll gain weight.D. Don't let mindless eating get in the way.E. If it doesn't require a knife and fork to eat, skip it.F. It's hard to stop eating when there's a pile of food on your plate.G.

Peace is hugging you and the meadow. Now, imagine all of these are destroyed and replaced with tall buildings. You can feel the smoke from factories and gases from cars are squeezing your neck and choking you. The stream looks like a good place to take a mud bath and it smells. All around you, there are trash and littered cans. 2 Would you like a place where nature has been destroyed?People are being careless and not considering how important nature is to humans. Trees are important because they change carbon dioxide into oxygen, and oxygen is needed for humans to breathe.What about streams and rivers? Are they important too? Yes, they are. 3 That's really a small amount. Polluting rivers and streams would make the water undrinkable. Well, can the salt from ocean water be removed? The answer is yes, but removing the salt takes a lot of effort, time, and is costly.How can factories and cars contribute to air pollution? 4 The more carbon dioxide in the air, the warmer the Earth gets because greenhouse gases trap heat. The Earth getting warmer is called global warming, and global warming can cause ice in cold places like Antarctica to melt.
