七选五十大技巧
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果，thus/therefore因此，so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有：however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子、类比等）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有：also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且，此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有：firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一，首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言，上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者，或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。

01 2024新高考I卷
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 37 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don’t often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don’t want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以及从中获得的乐趣。
36.上文“If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(如果你想发表，提交一份完美的、专业的手稿是至关重要的)”提到了完美的、专业的手稿的重要性，手稿中不能有语法和拼写错误是专业的手稿的要求之一。F选项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.(这意味着语法正确，没有拼写错误。)”是对手稿要求的进一步解释说明，符合题意。故选F项。
37.上文“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.(我不相信我笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。)”提到了作者不相信电脑的拼写检查器;下文“Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.(当然，现在有很多在线词典和同义词库，但我是一个守旧的人，更喜欢精装的书和能用手指翻阅的书页。)”提到了作者更喜欢实体书和能用手指翻阅的书页，说明电子设备可能不会考虑上下文，所以B选项“It takes no account of the context.(它不考虑上下文。)”解释了上文的原因，具有承上启下的作用。故选B项。
38.下文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.(它应该给出每个单词的精确定义，从而将其与其他含义相似但不相同的单词区分开来。它通常还会显示单词的发音。)”提到了字典的功能，E选项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.(当然，字典不仅仅是用来拼写的。)”提到了字典的部分功能，能引起下文内容。故选E项。
39.下文“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.(然而，如果我需要检查一个单词的来源或查找其用法的例子，没有什么比这更好的了。)”提到了字典的使用情况，A选项“I don’t often use this dictionary.(我不经常用这本字典。)”是对字典使用频率的说明，与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。
40.上文“ “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work, ” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ”dull".(约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道：“编字典是件无聊的工作(乏味)。”)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工作，下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣，D选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价，与上文的“乏味”形成对比，与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___36___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___37___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___38___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● ___39___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___40___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. E 39. A 40. G
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何避免“过度旅游”的现象。
36.前文“Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.(旅游促进理解，扩展我们的思想，使我们成为更好的人，促进当地经济和社区，但旅游业的快速发展导致了某些地区和目的地的过度旅游)”表明旅游带来了一些问题，后文“The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world.(在当今世界，失去旅行所能提供的东西将是不可接受的)”表示不能失去旅行，结合后文“Certainly not.(当然不)”可知，空处提问能否停止旅行，D选项“那么，我们应该停止旅行吗？”符合语境。故选B。
37.前文“Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you.(游客过多的目的地是有原因的：它们很特别。网上有这么多关于同一个地方的帖子，很容易让你觉得你错过了。只有当风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时，才去某个地方)”表明不要跟风旅游，C选项“为你而不是其他人旅行”表明要关注自己在旅行时的感受，忠实自己的感受，不用管其余的建议，符合语境。故选C。
38.前文“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.(这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择)及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights ( 为什么不尝试一个地区性的选择，或者看看一个热门目的地不太为人所知的景点呢)”提出建议，可以选择一些冷门的景点，E选项“你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方”语境一致。故选E。
39.空处为小标题，根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期，选择合适的时间，A选项“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
40.前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力，从一开始就保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点，后文“You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受，G选项“考虑回馈你所访问的社区”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

What is moderation (适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 36 But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.

Encouragement is powerful. The words of encouragement have a lasting impact on mental and social happiness, creating a supportive environment where individuals can get along well. By forming a culture of encouragement in friendships, we contribute to a world filled with positivity.
1 In friendships, the words of encouragement play an important role in strengthening ties and contributing to mutual growth. Research and personal experiences stress the deep impact of supportive words in increasing comfort and building good relationships between each other.
An expert emphasizes the long-lasting influence of encouragement. 2 When we give it to our friends constantly, we create a positive effect that spreads beyond the moment of communication. Encouraging words act as a source of inspiration, increasing confidence and self-respect and providing the necessary drive to overcome challenges and pursue goals.
Offering supportive words to others has the power to create hope and recovery, potentially changing lives. Encouragement serves as a guiding light during difficult times. 3 It forms a sense of belonging and support, creating a safe space where you can keep them company and share their weaknesses.
Encouraging words can build bridges and cure wounds. 4 They also have a “healing medicinal” effect, offering support and comfort during times of suffering or uncertainty. Such simple acts of kindness can truly make a difference when you are in difficult situations.

（23-24高二下·湖北武汉·期末）Organizing your room can help you feel calmer and in control of your life. Going about your day will be much easier if you know exactly where everything is. You will not have to waste time searching for your favorite pairs of jeans. 11 .
Take all of your belongings out of their current locations. 12 , but if you really want to organize your room, you will have to start from the beginning. Though you may be surprised by the giant pile of mess you’ve created on your floor, desk or bed, don’t worry. You’ll find the right place for everything soon enough.
Organize your belongings. Before you begin to figure out where everything should go, you should get a number of boxes for different purposes. Boxes are best because you can just recycle them when you’re done organizing and won’t have to deal with more things. 13 .
Try to get rid of as many items as possible. This is an important step. Though you may want to throw everything in the Keep box, or have put every last extra item in the Store box, this won’t help you get organized. You need to do some searching to figure out what you really need in your room right there where you spend your time. 14 . The less things you have, the easier it will be to organize your bedroom.
15 Now that you’ve organized your room, you can begin to get rid of all the things you don’t need, throw away the Rubbish box and give the Donate box to the charity organization. The sooner you get rid of or store the other boxes, the easier it will be to move on with your organization.
A．Remember that less really is more
B．Put all the boxes in the right place
C．Here is the first step for you to organize your room
D．This could help you sort out different items in the room
E．This may seem painful and like you’re creating a bigger mess

(整理你的房间可以让你感觉更平静，控制你的生活。如果你清楚地知道每样东西在哪里，你的一天就会容易得多。你不必浪费时间去寻找你最喜欢的牛仔裤)”介绍整理房间的各种好处，后文各段落主要介绍了整理房间的各种方法，空处应该会引出整理房间的步骤，因此C项“Here is the first step for you to organize your room (这里是你整理房间的第一步)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的organize your room与前文的Organizing your room呼应。故选C。
12．前文“Take all of your belongings out of their current locations. (把你所有的东西从现在的地方拿出来)”建议拿出所有东西，后文“but if you really want to organize your room, you will have to start from the beginning. Though you may be surprised by the giant pile of mess you’ve created on your floor, desk or bed, don’t worry. (但如果你真的想整理你的房间，你必须从头开始。虽然你可能会对你在地板上、桌子上或床上制造的一大堆乱七八糟的东西感到惊讶，但不要担心)”提醒要从头开始，不要为乱七八糟的东西担心，空处应该和制造混乱相关，因此E项“This may seem painful and like you’re creating a bigger mess (这可能看起来很痛苦，好像你正在制造更大的混乱)”符合语境，承上启下，其中的This指代前一句内容，a bigger mess和后文的the giant pile of mess呼应。故选E。
13．前文“Before you begin to figure out where everything should go, you should get a number of boxes for different purposes. Boxes are best because you can just recycle them when you’re done organizing and won’t have to deal with more things. (在你开始弄清楚所有东西应该放在哪里之前，你应该为不同的目的准备一些盒子。盒子是最好的选择，因为当你完成整理工作时，你可以回收它们，而不必处理更多的东西)”建议为不同目的的东西准备不同的盒子，空处应该和如何分类盒子相关，因此G项“Stick to small pieces of paper with Keep, Store, Donate, and Rubbish (把小纸片贴上“保留”、“储存”、“捐赠”和“垃圾”的标签)”符合语境，承接前文。故选G。
14．前文“You need to do some searching to figure out what you really need in your room right there where you spend your time. (你需要搜索一下，在你消磨时间的房间里，你真正需要的是什么)”建议思考自己真正需要的东西，后文“The less things you have, the easier it will be to organize your bedroom. (你拥有的东西越少，就越容易整理你的卧室)”提到东西少的好处，空处应该是强调东西要少，因此A项“Remember that less really is more (记住，少即是多)”符合语境，承上启下，其中的less在后文有同词复现。故选A。
15．根据后文“Now that you’ve organized your room, you can begin to get rid of all the things you don’t need, throw away the Rubbish box and give the Donate box to the charity organization. The sooner you get rid of or store the other boxes, the easier it will be to move on with your organization. (现在你已经整理好了你的房间，你可以开始摆脱所有你不需要的东西，扔掉垃圾箱，把捐赠箱交给慈善组织。你越早摆脱或储存其他盒子，你的整理就越容易继续前进)”可知，本段主要建议妥善处理各类箱子，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，应该是总的说明如何处理各类箱子，因此B项“Put all the boxes in the right place (把所有的箱子放在该放的地方)”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选B。

If you know your field inside out you will have the confidence to take risks and allow your creativity to blossom.

（23-24高二下·江苏淮安·期末）How to Stay Positive around Negative People
A positive attitude benefits your physical and mental health. However, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude when other people are negative. The best way is to be yourself and to form a flexible mindset. 31
●Be in charge of your attitude. The first step is to remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission. 32 You should remind yourself of it frequently when you are under the influence of negative people. Moreover, taking a quick walk is a good way you can maintain your positive attitude.
33 If all your attention is on the negative person, you’ll be more likely to be caught in their negativity. Pay attention to what you do, and you’ll create a distance between yourself and the other person. After all, you hardly change them, but yourself. Your priority is to maintain your own happiness.
● Use mottos or phrases. Repeating a motto or a phrase to yourself can help you remain positive. 34 Some people find mottos from classic literature, while others prefer well-known phrases from religious beliefs. An example of a motto might be: “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart,” or the Buddhist,“ Om mani padme hum.”
● Set social boundaries. 35 Then, you have to learn to say no to them, or you can’t have a life of your own. Even staying with negative people, try to make sure you’re meeting in a group rather than just the two of you. If you’re friends on social media, unfollowing the posts of the negative person is one way to minimize your contact with the person.

（23-24高二下·浙江宁波·期末）Practical Tips for Parenting Teens
Teens spend a lot of time online. In fact, a report from Common Sense Media says that they spend nearly one-third of their day consuming media. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are doing online. 36 .
Begin conversations early. There’s no time like the present to begin speaking with your kids about their online behaviors. 37 . Remember, teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s imperative that we take time to provide parental guidance to help them navigate the virtual world.
38 . Parents often report that they feel like they lack the technical skills to keep up with their child’s online behaviors, but respectfully, I’d say that’s simply not true. It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends of the day. You don’t need to be an IT expert to be in the loop and keep current regarding what your kid does online. Also, there are many organizations that offer assistance and resources to help parents feel less intimidated and more connected.
Search the Internet. Conduct random Internet searches of your kid’s full name and nicknames along with the location, like residential state or city, to see if you pull up any surprising information. Also, check for images and video in case your kid was tagged in a post he or she didn’t know about. If you find inappropriate content, work with your teen to get it removed immediately. 39 .
Teach the basics. 40 . A great rule of thumb for teens is to treat others with the same respect and kindness online as they would offline.
We live in a day and age where kids need our help understanding the complexities of interacting socially online and offline. And they want our help perhaps more than we may even know.
A．Stay current with what’s trending.
B．Keep up with kids’ online behaviors.
C．If not, repeat the procedure until you find any.
D．These conversations need to be a priority and occur regularly.
E．If need be, contact the service provider to help take down the content.
F．Fortunately, there are some ways to stay connected and keep kids safe.
G．Kids should understand that device ownership comes with a high level of discipline.

（23-24高二下·安徽亳州·阶段练习）How to Get Your Best Friend Back
Most people have a falling-out with their best friend at some point. Things may feel rough, but stay positive. 41 . Here are some tips for you.
Tell them how you feel. Your friends may miss you as much as you miss them. 42 . You could say, “It’s been really hard for me lately. I’m used to being able to talk to you every day, but lately, I’ve felt like you were too busy for me.”
43 . You may have different ideas, and that’s okay. What’s important is that you are able to share your own feelings on the situation without judging your friend. Avoid statements like “You never listen to me!” Instead, say, “I felt like you weren’t hearing me, and that made me feel frustrated.”
Take responsibility for your actions. 44 . Don’t make excuses, no matter how justified you felt in doing what you did. There is no excuse to hurt your friends, just as there is no excuse for them to hurt you. For example, avoid saying, “I’m sorry I forgot about your birthday party. I had a busy week and lost track of the days.”
Suggest ways to work through your issues. 45 . Healing (修复) your friendship will require work, and your apology will hold more weight if you show your friend that you have a plan. Ask them to go to see a popular movie together. You can spend time together without expectations of talking, and then you have a shared topic to discuss afterward that will put less pressure on you to find suitable topics.
A．Use “I” statements
B．Don’t project your feelings onto your friend
C．Talk to your friends about how much you miss them
D．As you apologize, resist the urge to explain for your behavior
E．However, one of you has to be the first to explain those feelings
F．Talking can start the healing, but may not fully restore your relationship
G．Whether you’ve quarreled, or they’ve moved away, you can get your best friend back

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了挽回友谊的方法。
41．根据空前“Things may feel rough, but stay positive.(事情可能会变得艰难，但保持积极)”以及空后“Here are some tips for you.(这里有一些给你的建议)”可知，上文提到保持积极，说明事情还是可以挽回的。故G项“无论你们吵架了，还是他们搬走了，你都可以把你最好的朋友找回来”符合语境。故选G。
42．根据空前“Your friends may miss you as much as you miss them.(你的朋友可能会像你想念他们一样想念你)”及空后“You could say, “It’s been really hard for me lately. I’m used to being able to talk to you every day, but lately, I’ve felt like you were too busy for me.”(你可以说，“最近对我来说真的很难。我习惯了每天都能和你说话，但最近，我觉得你太忙了，没空陪我。”)”可知，本句建议向朋友倾诉想念。故C项“告诉你的朋友你有多想念他们”符合语境。故选C。
43．根据空后“You may have different ideas, and that’s okay. What’s important is that you are able to share your own feelings on the situation without judging your friend. Avoid statements like “You never listen to me!” Instead, say, “I felt like you weren’t hearing me, and that made me feel frustrated.”(你可能有不同的想法，没关系。重要的是，你能够在不评判你朋友的情况下分享你自己的感受。避免说“你从来不听我的！”相反，你可以说：“我觉得你没有在听我说话，这让我感到很沮丧。”)”可知，后文的例子表明要以“我”为开头进行陈述。故A项“使用以‘我’为开头的陈述”符合语境。故选A。
44．根据空前“Take responsibility for your actions.( 为你的行为负责)”以及空后“Don’t make excuses, no matter how justified you felt in doing what you did.(不要找借口，不管你觉得自己做的事情多么合情合理)”可知，后文提到了不要找借口，说明不要为自己的行为进行狡辩。故D项“道歉的时候，不要急于为自己的行为辩解”符合语境。故选D。
45．根据上文“Suggest ways to work through your issues.(提出解决问题的方法)”以及后文“Healing (修复) your friendship will require work, and your apology will hold more weight if you show your friend that you have a plan.(修复友谊需要努力，如果你向你的朋友展示你有计划，你的道歉会更有分量)”可知，仅仅通过言语是无法真正修复彼此关系的，如果想要彻底恢复友情还要有具体的做法，故F项“谈话可能开启修复，但可能不能完全恢复你们的关系”符合，起到承上启下的作用。故选F。
（2024·全国·高考真题）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 46 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 47
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 48 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 49 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 50 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A．Visit during off-peak times.
B．So, should we stop traveling
C．Travel for you and no one else.
D．Can overtourism be avoided then
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【答案】46．B 47．C 48．E 49．A 50．G
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何避免“过度旅游”的现象。
46．前文“Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.(旅游促进理解，扩展我们的思想，使我们成为更好的人，促进当地经济和社区，但旅游业的快速发展导致了某些地区和目的地的过度旅游)”表明旅游带来了一些问题，后文“The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world.(在当今世界，失去旅行所能提供的东西将是不可接受的)”表示不能失去旅行，结合后文“Certainly not.(当然不)”可知，空处提问能否停止旅行，D选项“那么，我们应该停止旅行吗？”符合语境。故选B。
47．前文“Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you.(游客过多的目的地是有原因的：它们很特别。网上有这么多关于同一个地方的帖子，很容易让你觉得你错过了。只有当风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时，才去某个地方)”表明不要跟风旅游，C选项“为你而不是其他人旅行”表明要关注自己在旅行时的感受，忠实自己的感受，不用管其余的建议，符合语境。故选C。
48．前文“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.(这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择)及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights ( 为什么不尝试一个地区性的选择，或者看看一个热门目的地不太为人所知的景点呢)”提出建议，可以选择一些冷门的景点，E选项“你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方”符合语境。故选E。
49．空处为小标题，根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期，选择合适的时间，A选项“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
50．前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力，从一开始就保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点，后文“You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受，G选项“考虑回馈你所访问的社区”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

冲刺备考名师提醒，洞悉高考命题规律，提供高效提分干货
七选五十大技巧
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果，thus/therefore因此，so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有：however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子、类比等）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有：also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且，此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有：firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一，首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言，上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者，或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。

Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 37 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it’s not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don’t often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don’t want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.

What is moderation (适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 36 But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. 37 It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, “specially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. 38
Control emotional (情绪的) eating. 39 Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
40 A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14 — 16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A. Eat properly throughout the day.
B. We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C. Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D. Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.

（23-24高二下·江苏淮安·期末）How to Stay Positive around Negative People
A positive attitude benefits your physical and mental health. However, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude when other people are negative. The best way is to be yourself and to form a flexible mindset. 31
●Be in charge of your attitude. The first step is to remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission. 32 You should remind yourself of it frequently when you are under the influence of negative people. Moreover, taking a quick walk is a good way you can maintain your positive attitude.
33 If all your attention is on the negative person, you’ll be more likely to be caught in their negativity. Pay attention to what you do, and you’ll create a distance between yourself and the other person. After all, you hardly change them, but yourself. Your priority is to maintain your own happiness.
● Use mottos or phrases. Repeating a motto or a phrase to yourself can help you remain positive. 34 Some people find mottos from classic literature, while others prefer well-known phrases from religious beliefs. An example of a motto might be: “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart,” or the Buddhist,“ Om mani padme hum.”
● Set social boundaries. 35 Then, you have to learn to say no to them, or you can’t have a life of your own. Even staying with negative people, try to make sure you’re meeting in a group rather than just the two of you. If you’re friends on social media, unfollowing the posts of the negative person is one way to minimize your contact with the person.
A．Focus on yourself.
B．Transform others’ attitude.
C．It is meaningful and highly individual to each person.
D．It is important to sympathize the negative people.
E．You can use the following advice to help you do this.
F．Be aware of the things or people that threaten your positivity.
G．Avoid falling into the trap of feeling like a victim of someone’s bad attitude.
（23-24高二下·浙江宁波·期末）Practical Tips for Parenting Teens
Teens spend a lot of time online. In fact, a report from Common Sense Media says that they spend nearly one-third of their day consuming media. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are doing online. 36 .
Begin conversations early. There’s no time like the present to begin speaking with your kids about their online behaviors. 37 . Remember, teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s imperative that we take time to provide parental guidance to help them navigate the virtual world.
38 . Parents often report that they feel like they lack the technical skills to keep up with their child’s online behaviors, but respectfully, I’d say that’s simply not true. It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends of the day. You don’t need to be an IT expert to be in the loop and keep current regarding what your kid does online.

（23-24高二下·安徽亳州·阶段练习）How to Get Your Best Friend Back
Most people have a falling-out with their best friend at some point. Things may feel rough, but stay positive. 41 . Here are some tips for you.
Tell them how you feel. Your friends may miss you as much as you miss them. 42 . You could say, “It’s been really hard for me lately. I’m used to being able to talk to you every day, but lately, I’ve felt like you were too busy for me.”
43 . You may have different ideas, and that’s okay. What’s important is that you are able to share your own feelings on the situation without judging your friend. Avoid statements like “You never listen to me!” Instead, say, “I felt like you weren’t hearing me, and that made me feel frustrated.”
Take responsibility for your actions. 44 . Don’t make excuses, no matter how justified you felt in doing what you did. There is no excuse to hurt your friends, just as there is no excuse for them to hurt you. For example, avoid saying, “I’m sorry I forgot about your birthday party. I had a busy week and lost track of the days.”
Suggest ways to work through your issues. 45 . Healing (修复) your friendship will require work, and your apology will hold more weight if you show your friend that you have a plan.

G．Whether you’ve quarreled, or they’ve moved away, you can get your best friend back
（2024·全国·高考真题）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 46 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 47
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 48 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 49 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 50 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A．Visit during off-peak times.
B．So, should we stop traveling
C．Travel for you and no one else.
D．Can overtourism be avoided then
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
（23-24高二下·江西景德镇·期末）Though there is nothing essentially wrong with any kind of emotion, some of them can lead to major amounts of distress (痛苦) when left unchecked. 51 Here are some of them:
Take precautions against your emotional triggers. Your triggers are the activities, people, places, things, or events that consistently bring out particular emotions in you. 52
Do nothing if someone is trying to frustrate you. If you can tell that someone is bothering you just to egg you on, take a deep breath and stay calm. 53 When you maintain your cool, the person egging you on will become frustrated and eventually stop.
54 If you feel yourself reacting to strong emotions in a way that’s typical for you, stop yourself. Take a moment and think about what would happen if you tried what is different from your usual reaction. How would the outcome change If it would become positive or productive, try that new method instead of your old one.
Remove yourself from a situation that generates negative feelings. 55 If a situation can be reworked relatively easily and without hurting others, do what you can to remove yourself from it and your negative feelings.
A．Sometimes the best reaction is walking away.
B．Speak calmly and refuse to let him get to you.
C．If necessary, you can turn to your friends for help.
D．Consider what you have experienced in a positive way.
E．Try doing the opposite of what you would normally do.
F．Once you know your triggers (诱因) , you can plan for them and mentally prepare yourself.
G．Thankfully, there are numerous techniques to react to these negative feelings in a healthy way.
（23-24高二下·江苏宿迁·期末）Self-validation is the act of accepting your feelings and experiences. It means understanding your international perceptions and emotions, and recognizing them as valid. It can be challenging, especially for people who struggle with things like self-doubt. 56
Use your personal history to validate yourself.
Self-validation can be tough when you have trouble believing in yourself. 57 Because even if you're a capable person, it’s natural to need a refresher so often! Additionally ,keep a journal or make a list of your successes, and you’ll have an easy way to remind yourself.
58
Remember that you're allowed to feel different emotions. When feeling intense emotions, you might assume your reaction isn’t normal. But actually, it’s all part of the human experience. It's okay to feel happy, excited, hurt, angry or any other emotions, and other people would likely feel the same in your place.
Practice genuineness and be honest with yourself.
59 So be honest and acknowledge both your virtues and shortcomings. Remember, your self-worth shouldn’t be built on trying to be as perfect as possible; it should be about accepting the person you are.
Accept your feelings without over-identifying with them.
An important part of validation is remembering that you aren’t your feelings, nor are you the things you do. 60 You may feel strong emotions at times, and that’s common, but those feelings will never decide who you are. Emotions are temporary, and eventually, they’ll pass.
A．Normalize your feelings, both positive and negative.
B．Remind yourself that your feelings don’t define you.
C．Reflection is all about acknowledging emotions you felt.
D．However, it’s never too late to start learning how to do it!
E．Sometimes, validation is as simple as taking care of yourself!
F．Being yourself is one of the most important forms of self-validation.
G．To fight against this, recall situations where you succeeded to prove your true capabilities.
（23-24高二下·湖北武汉·期末）Harvest is truly one of the highlights of the season. This is when all of our efforts and attention get translated into a tangible finished product. As a grower, nothing makes me prouder than harvesting a successful crop. 61 To ensure quality is maintained all the way from field to fork, certain principles must be understood and followed through.
First of all, it is important to harvest each crop at the right stage of growth. Vegetables harvested before they are fully mature will be much less flavorful. 62 For some crops, it is easy to tell when they are at their freshest, and many can be quite forgiving. But for other crops, harvesting at the appropriate moment will make an enormous difference. The timing of cantaloupe (甜瓜) picking, for example, will determine whether the fruit is sweet or disappointing, while it won’t make a difference if you wait a few days to harvest the apples. 63
To further complicate things, the right moment to harvest a given vegetable is not necessarily consistent with market demand. 64 Vegetables such as broccoli (西兰花) and cucumbers, to name just a few, can be harvested at the peak of their quality and stored in the cold room for a few days before being sold.
65 Some vegetables must be cooled to slow their process of ripening. Otherwise, their freshness and nutritional value will suffer. This is why it is so important to harvest as early as possible in the morning, before the heat of the day sets in, and to cool the vegetables immediately with cold water and/or air from the cold room.
A．You just have to follow the habits of different crops.
B．That being said, harvest requires some special know-how.
C．Those harvested overripe will then have a shorter shelf life.
D．This is one reason why a cold room is critical in a market garden.
E．Although it varies from crop to crop, it’s always better later than earlier.
F．Moreover, a well-functioning cool system is in badly need for keeping things fresh.
G．The other important thing to remember is that vegetables go on “living” even after being picked.
（23-24高二下·江苏苏州·期末）Music is all around us. 66 Advertisers have long understood the popularity and emotional power of music and made good use of it. They spend much time and money securing the right soundtrack (配乐) for an advertisement in order to boost sales.
67 It expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source. Music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. It can result in enhanced attention, a positive emotional response and improved brand recall. Thus, it contributes to the effectiveness of an advertisement.
Take the visually simple but interesting advertisement for Air France, with the soundtrack of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23, for example. 68 The advertisers hope that viewers will associate those qualities with the airline. Hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising suggested it was successful.
Music is also effective at triggering feelings of nostalgia (怀旧之情). The emotional memories music arouses in advertisements serves as a reminder of consumers’ past experiences. 69
However, the use of popular music in advertising can also cause arguments around the tension between artistic effort and commercialism. Consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements. 70 For example, Nike’s use of Beatles’ song Revolution was seen by some as using Lennon’s lyrics to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products.
A．It highlights greatness and elegance.
B．Music is the facilitator of advertising.
C．Music helps cut down the cost of advertising.
D．This, in turn, helps business reap commercial benefit.
E．They believe that doing this destroys the beauty of music.
F．It’s a popular art form which accompanies our daily lives.
G．But some people argue using music is a way to show respect for musicians.
（23-24高二下·四川遂宁·期末）If your resolution is to learn a new language, you may be wondering: What’s the best way to go about this 71 There are many different ways to approach it. If you want to start learning a language fast, though, there is plenty of advice we can offer.
Is grammar important
Yes, grammar is important. But after all, when you’re learning your first language as a baby, your parents don’t have to teach you the clear rules of the language. 72
Should I focus on speaking or writing
73 If you want to travel and communicate with native speakers, then writing might be slightly less helpful. But if you’re learning Latin because you want to read texts in the original language, then you can probably skip the speaking part entirely.
Should I watch shows and listen to music in the language I’m learning
Absolutely yes. Being exposed to a language will always help you with your learning.
74 Watching movies to learn a language may have helped somewhat. But it’s important not to trap yourself with a complex language.
How Can I make language learning more fun
One of the best ways to make learning more fun is to work it in to your other hobbies. 75
You can’t learn to play the guitar and go jogging at the same time, for example. However, language is always around you and you can practice it while doing something else. While jogging, you could listen to a podcast in another language. While playing the guitar, you could pick songs that are in your target language. Anyway, connecting your interests really matters.
A．You just pick it up by nature.
B．A new language isn’t like most other hobbies.
C．Yet the real question is what you should watch or listen to.
D．Unfortunately, there’s no “best way” to learn a new language.
E．So it’s more important to get comfortable with speaking the language.
F．The answer to this question really depends on what you hope to achieve.
G．An important thing to remember is switching up how you’re exposed to the language.
（23-24高二下·江苏南通·期末）How to Overcome Challenges When Learning from Failure
Failure is a bitter pill to swallow, isn’t it But, it’s often in the most difficult moments, in the ashes of defeat, that we find our greatest opportunities for growth. 76 This guide will look into the common challenges associated with learning from failure and how to overcome them.
● Dealing with emotional stress and burnout
Failure often comes with a heavy emotional burden. 77 The first step in overcoming this challenge is acknowledging these emotions. It’s okay to feel disappointed — but don’t let your failure define you. Instead, view it as a temporary setback, not an endpoint.
● Maintaining focus and vision
After a failure, it’s easy to lose sight of your original vision. But maintaining your focus on your long-term goals is critical. Take a step back, reflect on your vision, and rearrange your strategies accordingly. Yes, you might need to adjust your plans or timelines, but don’t let failure ruin your overall vision. 78
● Continuous learning and skill development
The greatest lesson from failure is the opportunity to learn. Develop a growth mindset and invest in continuous learning — attend workshops, read books, or take online courses. 79 Analyze your mistakes, draw lessons, and use those insights to refine your strategies. With each failure, you’re beginning with more experience.
● Accepting failure as a pathway to success
80 It’s merely a detour on the road to success. It offers an incomparable opportunity for growth and innovation. By addressing these challenges with the right mindset, you can transform your setbacks into comebacks and transform failure into your stepping-stone towards success.
A．Don’t forget that failure itself is a teacher.
B．Learning from failure can be complicated.
C．To strike this balance, make data-driven decisions.
D．Failure is not the opposite of success — it’s a part of it.

F．You kicked off this journey for a reason — hold onto that.
G．Feelings of inadequacy, stress, and fear can quickly lead to burnout.
（23-24高二下·浙江丽水·期末）A quick browse of the FitTok tag reveals our madness with maximum fitness—couples lifting one another overhead, mums sprinting from room to room with pushchairs, which can make the average gymgoer feel hopeless. 81 Try these achievable goals.
Find a diet that works
Trendy diets are often extreme, but that’s not going to help you sustain a healthy lifestyle. “As a general standard your diet should consist of 20-30 per cent fat, 40-50 per cent carbs and25-30 per cent protein,” says Farren Morgan, a military fitness coach. 82
Run a 5k
You don’t have to run the length of Africa. Training for your local ParkRun—a weekly group 5k—is a great place to start. Fran Bungay says,“ 83 Alternating a minute running with a minute walking is fine to begin with. Once you can run for 20 minutes, try to push for30.”
Remove back pain
“Spending all day at a desk can lead to tight hips, which may then lead to pain in the lower back and shoulders,” Clift says.“ 84 ”You can also try the knee twist. Lie on your back and bring your knees up to your chest, before slowly lowering them to the left and to the right while keeping your back flat on the floor.
Make the gym a habit
Studies have found that activity trackers can help people develop healthy routines over the long term, and that it always takes about 66 days to form a lasting habit. 85
A．Aim for three 20-minute training a week.
B．It doesn’t have to be all or nothing, however.
C．Squats help to strengthen your back and core, and will burn calories.
D．Use the True Coach app to track your goals and receive personalized feedback.
E．Get this right, and drink certain amount of water a day, and your body should adapt quickly.
F．Yoga and Pilates can help, as well as taking regular breaks or investing in a standing desk.
G．Use the Class Pass app to book fitness classes without having to commit to a full membership.
（23-24高二下·浙江·期末）Productivity can be a struggle for many of us. Overflowing email inboxes, housework, social obligations—it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, one simple tool that can help us stay on top of everything is the to-do list. 86 .
Psychologist and author David Cohen highlights three key reasons why lists are beneficial. Firstly, they provide a respite (缓解) from chaos and anxiety that arise from having an endless stream of tasks. 87 Secondly, lists offer structure and guidance, giving us a plan to follow. And our brains are more likely to store information when it’s presented in an organized manner. Lastly, lists serve as proof of what we have achieved, which can help boost our sense of accomplishment and motivation.
88 Psychologists use this term to describe how we tend to remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones. A study conducted by researchers from Wake Forest University demonstrated the impact of the Zeigarnik effect on a group of participants. During the experiment, a warm-up task was interrupted halfway through, and only some individuals were allowed to make plans to finish it. The researchers discovered that the group who had the opportunity to plan experienced reduced anxiety and performed better in the subsequent task. 89 Thus, when we check off an item on our list, our brains can let go of it, allowing us to relax.
In conclusion, it’s evident that lists are a valuable tool for maintaining control and organization in our lives. 90 By harnessing (利用) the power of lists, we can enhance our productivity and find greater peace of mind amidst life’s demands.
A．Write it down, do the tasks and cross them off—simple!
B．Another explanation for our attraction to lists lies in the “Zeigarnik Effect”.
C．They alleviate stress, provide structure, and offer a sense of accomplishment.
D．But the warm-up task remained an unchecked item on their mental to-do list.
E．Meanwhile, the others still had the warm-up task stuck in their active memory.
F．By writing everything down, we free up our minds and can focus on the task at hand.
G．Additionally, the “Zeigarnik Effect” suggests that unfinished tasks can create a sense of mental tension.
（23-24高二下·江苏连云港·期末）Are you too responsible
Taking responsibility is an essential element of strong leadership. But when the scales tip to over-responsibility, both the leader and their team suffer. 91
Define what you’re truly responsible for
When it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, try the following pie-chart exercise. 92 Draw a circle on your paper and allocate (分配) responsibility for the situation to each person on your list. Add up those amounts and determine the remaining percentage. The amount left over is your actual share of responsibility.
Examine your assumptions
To start overturning your over-responsibility habit, examine the beliefs and fears that keep it alive. Are they really true Reframe the release of responsibility and consider that you’re empowering others. Allow them to struggle with a task, solve their own problem, or own up to a mistake. 93
Give responsibilities back
Whether you willingly assumed a given responsibility or it was placed on you, it’s time to return it to its rightful owner. Identify one responsibility you can return to a specific person. 94 Expect a few discomfort at first, but resist the temptation to jump back in.
Accept help
If you’re overly responsible, you likely say “yes” whenever others ask for help but don’t ask for any yourself. It’s time to rebalance your give-accept proportion. 95 If someone asks if they can take something off your plate or offers to do something for you, say “yes.”
Rightsizing your responsibility is not about escaping what is yours to own but finding a more appropriate balance. By taking 100% of your responsibility, but not more, you will avoid unnecessary stress and help others grow.
A．Practice accepting offers of help.
B．Grab a piece of paper and list everyone involved.
C．It may be a simple task that someone else should be doing.
D．The following strategies may help you find a more appropriate balance.
E．In this way, you help them develop greater competence and confidence.
F．Leaders who ask for help increase the feelings of connection on their team.
G．If so, these could be signs that you have an overactive sense of responsibility.
（23-24高二下·湖南岳阳·期末）How to become a good communicator
Being a good communicator is an important life skill. It can help you make friends, do well in school, and even get better jobs when you’re older. Sometimes, you may find it a struggle to communicate effectively with people around you. 96
Listen to others.
Listening is a trait that is often forgotten about in modern society. In the process of communication, try to avoid responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal. 97 Show them you’re listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions.
Speak sincerely.
No one likes to be deceived. Tell people the truth. If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. 98 For instance, if you don’t like your friend’s shirt and they ask you about it, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it’s ugly.”
99
How you say things is arguably more important than what you say. If you try to give someone a genuine compliment (赞美), but they think you say it with an ironic undertone, your compliment won’t mean a thing. Be aware of the way you speak. If you notice that people often take things you say the wrong way, there is a good chance you can change how you speak. Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you’re coming across.
Help others communicate.
Get a bunch of people together for a fun get-together. It can be as simple as a gathering at the park, or as fancy as an elegant dinner party. 100
A．Know “how” vs “what”.
B．Be aware of what you say.
C．You should pay attention to what others are saying.
D．This can be a good chance for you to communicate with others.
E．Do remember there is a difference between honest and rude opinions.
F．Either way, it shows them that you care and want to spread friendship.
G．However, with practice and patience, you can become a great communicator.
