真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 1 - 专题 13 七选五 (2016·新课标Ⅰ) 主题:密码的设置 词数:192 Secret codes( 密 码 )keep messages private.Banks , companies , and government agencies use secret codes in doing business,especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years.__1__ Code breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography.__2__ For example,the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” __3__ You might represent each letter with a number,for example.Let's number the letters of the alphabet,in order,from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter,the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words,phrases,or sentences.To read the message of a real code,you must have a code book.__4__ For example,“bridge” might stand 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 2 - for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”.The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” __5__ However,it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.So codes must be changed frequently. A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B.In any language,some letters are used more than others. C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D.As long as there have been codes,people have tried to break them. E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F.With a code book,you might write down words that would stand for other words. G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。密码在银行、公司、政府等各个领域有着广泛的应 用。本文主要介绍了密码设置的三种方式。 1.D 根据空后“Code breaking never lags far behind code making.”可知,有密 码的设置就有破译密码的存在,故 D 项“As long as there have been codes,people have tried to break them.(只要有密码存在,人们就设法破解它)”可以承接上下文。 2.E 根据空前“There are three main types of cryptography.”及后面举的例子可 知,本空应介绍设置密码的第一种方式:要隐藏一条信息,可以用每个单词的首字母来组成 密码,故选 E 项。 3.G 根据空后“You might represent each letter with a number...”及后面的内 容可以判断,这是介绍密码设置的另一种方法,即将字母表中字母排列顺序转化为数字信息, 故 G 项符合语境。 4.F 根据空前“To read the message of a real code,you must have a code book.” 可知,你需要借用解码书来找出密码所对应的意思,F 项“有了解码书,你就可以写下代表着 别的词语的密码”符合语境。 5.A 根据上文及下一句“However,it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.”可知,上一句与下一句是转折关系,故 A 项“没有解码书很难完成解密工作”符合语 境。 (2016·新课标Ⅱ) 主题:如何装饰花园 词数:204 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 3 - A garden that's just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you,where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和)of its parts?__1__.But it doesn't happen by accident.It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. ·__2__ Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants,flowers,patterns and masses of color.Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料).__3__.However,there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.One of them comes from our earliest years. ·Recall(回忆)your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood.Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad,but that's not what's important.__4__—how being in those gardens made us feel.If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden,start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth.__5__.Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grownup garden.Have fun. A.Know why you garden B.Find a good place for your own garden C.It's our experience of the garden that matters D.It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers E.Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants F.You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden,too G.For each of those gardens,write down the strongest memory you have 【语篇导读】 本文介绍了两条装饰花园的建议:1.弄清楚你为什么要搞园艺;2.回忆 你以前看到过的花园。 1.F 根据设空处前后句的句意“你是否参观过使你感觉非常好的花园?”和“但是, 这并不是偶然发生的。”可知,F 项“你也可以把你的花园装饰得如此怡人”使得上下文语意 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 4 - 连贯,衔接紧密。 2.A 此处缺少主题句。根据本段倒数第二句“However,there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.”可知,本段主要讲要弄清楚你为 什么要搞园艺。故选 A 项。 3.E 本段介绍人们对于园艺的观点:有些人认为花园只是指一些花花草草;有些人关 心少用水、少用肥料的园艺方法。设空处仍然在说明人们对园艺不同的看法。故 E 项“还有 其他一些人只是喜欢待在户外,接触植物”承接上文。 4.C 根据设空处前一句“……不重要”可知,强调的是在园艺中对我们来说真正重要 的是什么。故 C 项“重要的是我们搞园艺的经历”符合上下文语境。 5.G 根据本段内容及主题句“Recall your childhood memories”可知,如果自己装 饰一个花园,要回忆一下自己小时候所看到的那些花园,并把这些花园的优点写下来,然后 制订计划并把自己以前的记忆变成美丽的花园。故 G 项符合语境。 【长难句分析】 It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. 它从听从你内心的想法开始,明白了对自然世界而言你是谁和你是如何完成园艺工作的过程。 who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process 为 and 连接的两个并列的宾语从句,作 understanding 的宾语。 (2016·新课标Ⅲ) 主题:如何挑鱼和烹饪 词数:183 Everyone knows that fish is good for health.__1__ But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home.Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year,but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home.Buying,storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult.__2__ This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way. __3__ Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge.Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh.__4__ When you have bought a fish and arrive home,you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately,but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two.Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one. There are many common methods used to cook fish.__5__ First,clean it and season 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 5 - it with your choice of spices(调料).Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound.(A larger one will take more time.)Then,it's ready to serve. A.Do not buy it. B.The easiest is to steam it. C.This is how you can do it. D.It just requires a little knowledge. E.The fish will go bad within hours. F.When buying fish,you should first smell it. G.The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease. 【语篇导读】 吃鱼对身体有好处,因为鱼的脂肪可以预防心脏方面的疾病。文章介绍 了如何挑选新鲜的鱼和鱼的烹饪方法。 1.G 前一句提到鱼对身体有好处,后一句说似乎许多人不在家做鱼。由此可知,所填 的句子是对身体有好处的内容,G 项符合语境。 2.D 根据前一句的“Buying,storing,and cooking fish isn't difficult.”可知, D 项“它只需要很少的知识”与语意相符。 3.F 根据下文的“Fresh fish should smell sweet”可知,此处谈的是买鱼时要首先 闻一下鱼,所以选 F 项。 4.A 这里谈论的是买鱼,鱼有了味道,证明鱼不新鲜了,所以不要买,故 A 项承接前 一句内容。 5.B 根据下文的“Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it...”可知,谈论的 是蒸鱼的方法,所以选 B 项。 【长难句分析】 When you have bought a fish and arrive home,you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately,but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two.当你买了鱼拿回家后,如果不立刻烹饪, 最好放在冰箱里,但是新鲜的鱼只能在冰箱里储存一两天。 本句结构比较复杂。when 引导的是时间状语从句,主句是 you'd better store...,该 句和 but fresh fish should be...是转折关系,if 引导的是条件状语从句。 (2016·四川) 主题:女性寿命更长的原因 词数:195 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 6 - Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.__1__ In general,they can expect to live six or seven years more than men.One reason for this is biological. One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.__2__ Between the ages of about 12 and 50,women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力).These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow.In fact,women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks. __3__ They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections.This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men.The common cold is a good example: women,on average,get fewer colds than men. __4__ Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging,but they believe that they do.Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(倾向)to age more slowly than a man's.Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.__5__ A.However,women,on average,live longer. B.The biological factor plays an important part. C.Women are also helped by their female genes. D.The female hormones also protect the body in another way. E.Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities. F.Therefore,women are more healthy than men and can live a better life. G.Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions. 【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了女性比男性寿命更长的原因。 1.A 根据下句“In general,they can expect to live six or seven years more than men.”可知,本空应说明“女性比男性寿命更长”,故 A 项符合语境。 2.G 根据上句 “One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.”可知,导致女性寿命更长的原 因之一是男女荷尔蒙的不同,而空后内容介绍了荷尔蒙对于女性的作用,故应选 G 项。 3 . D 根 据 下 句 “ They help the body defend itself against some kinds of 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 7 - infections.”可知,本段讲女性荷尔蒙在保护女性健康方面的作用,故选 D 项。 4.C 根据下句中的“Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging...”可知,本段讲女性基因和寿命的关系,故选 C 项。 5.E 根据上两句“Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency to age more slowly than a man's.Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.”可知,人们对男女身体细胞和年龄的关系有两种猜测,E 项“最近的研究似 乎支持这两种可能性”符合语境,故选 E 项。 (2016·北京) 主题:冒险 词数:264 The Science of RiskSeeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth taking.__1__ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why?Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work. The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risktakers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.__2__ As the quality of risktaking was passed from one generation to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then?Well,even 200,000 years ago,too much risktaking could get one killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stayinthecave types.As a result,humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.__3__ No matter where you are on the riskseeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.__4__ To help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. __5__ For the riskseekers,a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of riskseeking,we'll continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 8 - A.It all depends on your character. B.Those are the risks you should jump to take. C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival. D.Thus,these wellequipped people survived because they were the fittest. E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F.However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. 【语篇导读】 这是一篇议论文,作者探讨为什么有人喜欢冒险,有的人害怕冒险,作 者从人类早期入手展开探讨,说明这一切都是由人的不同性格造成的。 1.F 本项的 weigh risks and rewards 与前文呼应,属关键词再现。 2.C 本项的 those things 指的就是空格前一句中提到的 hunting,fighting,or exploring;chance of survival 与上文的 early humans 呼应,因此选 C。 3.A 前文说人们有各种不同的性格,有人喜欢赛车,有人讨厌赛车,从语境的连贯看, 这里选 A 表示“你是否喜欢赛车,主要是你的性格决定的”。 4.E 本项的“走出家庭,进入更广阔的世界”与上文的 your teenage years 呼应。 5.G 结合空后的“...a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while...a part of the brain related to...”可知,这与 G 项的 brains work differently 和 a nervous situation 在内容方面一致。 (2015·新课标Ⅰ) 主题:重建信任 词数:243 Building Trust in a Relationship Again Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.__1__ Trust is a risk.But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake. Unfortunately,we've all been victims of betrayal.Whether we've been stolen from, lied to,misled,or cheated on,there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 9 - people simply can't trust anymore.__2__ It's understandable,but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again,we have some steps you can take to get you there. ●__3__ Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your wellbeing. ●__4__ If you've been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.At some point in all of our lives,we'll have our trust tested or violated. ●You didn't lose “everything”.Once trust is lost,what is left?Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.__5__ Instead,it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness. A.Learn to really trust yourself. B.It is putting confidence in someone. C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim. D.Remember that you can expect the best in return. E.They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again. F . This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships. G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened. 【语篇导读】 本文主要讲述了当人们在遭受背叛和欺骗后如何重建信任。 1.B 第一句说“信任是我们从以往经历中获得的学习行为。”,本句是对 trust 的解 释。选项 B 中的 it 指代上文刚出现的 trust,并且继续解释 trust 的含义:putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托以信任)。选项 B 与第一句形成顺承关系。 2.E 选项 E 与上下文都能形成因果关系。选项 E“他们曾经受过严重伤害,不能容忍 这种事情再次发生”是上一句“Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.(有时候人 们不能再信任任何人。)”的原因,并且与下一句“It's understandable...”也能形成因果 关系。正因为他们曾经受过严重伤害,不能容忍这种事情再次发生,所以引出下一句“It's understandable...”。 3.A 空格位于段首,极有可能是祈使句。并且选项 A“Learn to really trust 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 10 - yourself.”与空格后的“Having confidence in yourself”形成同义复现。trust yourself 等于 have confidence in yourself。 4.C 空格位于段首,极有可能是祈使句。下文说“如果你被背叛了,那么你是一个受 害者。然而是受害者与以受害者的心态活着是有区别的”,选项 C“Stop regarding yourself as the victim.(不要把自己当作受害者。)”就起到总结本段的作用,并且选项 C 中的 victim 一词在下文反复出现多次,形成词汇复现。 5.G 选项 G“看到事情的积极方面并不意味着你对发生的事情视而不见。”与下一句 “Instead,it's a healthy way...”形成转折关系,并且选项中的 positive 与下文的 positive 形成原词复现。 【长难句分析】 But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.但是,做坏事的人将不负责修复错误,那么当由这样的行为所导致的关 系缺少信任时,你就不能成功。 这是一个主从复合句。when 引导的是时间状语从句;状语从句中含有一个 that 引导的 定语从句;定语从句中又含有一个 where 引导的定语从句。 (2015·新课标Ⅱ) 主题:为马拉松做准备 词数:182 Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady , gradual increases in the length of the runs.__1__,buy the bestfitting,bestbuilt running shoes you can find.No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet,so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop.When you have found shoes that seem right,walk in them for a few days to doublecheck the fit.__2__.As always,you should stretch(伸展)at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries. During the first week,do not think about distance,but run five minutes longer each day.__3__,it is wise to take a day off to rest.But during the next week,set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run.__4__.After two weeks,start timing yourself.__5__.Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter,you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race. A.After six days 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 11 - B.For a good marathon runner C.Before you begin your training D.With each day,increase the distance by a half mile E.If they still feel good,you can begin running in them F.Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training G.Now you are ready to figure out a goal of improving distance and time 【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。马拉松是需要耐力的,但是在跑马拉松之前你应该做一 些必要的准备工作。文章为我们介绍了跑马拉松前的准备工作。 1.C 根据下文“买双最适合你的跑鞋”可以推知,前半部分应该是“在开始你的培训 之前”。故选 C。 2.E 根据前面一句话,“当你已经找到看上去适合你的鞋子的时候,穿上几天后再次核 实一下是否合适”。可知,紧接着应该写如果依然感觉很好的话,你就可以穿着这双鞋跑步 了。 3.A 根据前一句“During the first week...”可知本句应该是表示在六天以后,休 息一天是明智的。故选 A。 4.D 上一句讲在接下来的一周,每天设定一个目标,每次跑步至少要 1.5 英里。由此 可以推断紧接着应该是讲每天再增加半英里的距离。 5.G 根据上文的距离和时间,可知下句应该把“时间与距离”结合起来,只有 G 符合 语境。 【长难句分析】 No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet,so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop.没人能说出哪个品牌最适合你或者最适合你的脚,因此当你买鞋的时候,必须 依靠你的体验和对每双鞋的感觉。 本句为主从复合句。which 引导宾语从句,so 引导结果状语从句,as 引导时间状语从句。 其中,rely on 意为“依赖,依靠”。 (2015·北京) 主题:白日做梦 词数:243 This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 12 - being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.__1__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.__2__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First,understand that some opportunities(机会)for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__3__ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings. It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.“Mindfulness”,being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__4__ Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.__5__ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds. A.Having interesting things to think about also helps. B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves. C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relativity,Coke or Postit notes. D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. E.It involves slow,steady breathing for selfcontrol that helps people stay calm and attentive. F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand. G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 13 - 【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。本文介绍了白日做梦的利与弊,并指出在人类历史上有 许多伟大的想法或成就都是白日做梦促成的。同时文中也指出了如何避免白日做梦。 1.B 本句是对白日做梦的解释。根据上文的“They can seem...”和下文的“They annoy us...”可知,所填的句子应和上下文一致,B 项符合这一特征。 2.C 本句的关键词语是“some of the greatest ideas and achievements”,C 项中 的 relativity,Coke or Postit notes 正好与此相符。 3.A 上文的关键词是 help,选项 A 中的 also help 和上文的 help 相呼应。两句都介 绍有助于做白日梦的情况。 4.E 上文谈到,精力集中是一些人用来避免睡着的工具。由此可知,下面要谈到如何 才能集中精力,选项E 中的“steady breathing...”便是具体的做法;另 it 指代mindfulness; 选项中的 attentive 和前一句中的 being focused 同义。 5.G 根据上文的“你绝不会知道当你慢慢走神的时候,你会想到什么样的绝妙的主 意。”,因此,要准备好把你的想法记录下来。 (2014·新课标Ⅰ) 主题:培养孩子优秀的技能 词数:240 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented.__1__ By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. 1.Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious.__2__ Ask kids,“What ingredients(配 料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out.Did those ingredients make the pancakes better?What could we try next time? 2.Creativity True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it.__3__ There are a dozen different things you can do with them.Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity. 3.Interpersonal Skills Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids.We know what's going on inside our own head,but what about others?Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions.__4__ “Why do you think 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 14 - she's crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you,how would you feel?” 4.Self Expression __5__ There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas—music,acting,drawing, building,photography.You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.

B 根 据 前 面 的 “ Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.”可知,接下来的内容应该仍与广告有关,故 B 项符合。 5.A 根据本段的内容可知,我们可以从朋友和家庭成员那里获取信息,但我们每个人 需要找到一个适合我们自己的、健康的生活方式,由此推断 A 项“做出适合自己的选择”与 下文相符。 【长难句分析】 Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinion,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.合理的判 断包括知道在何处以及如何寻找相关的信息,如何区别事实与观点,如何识别不合理的推断 以及如何分析信息及其来源的可靠性。 该句为简单句。主语为 Reasonable evaluation,谓语为 includes,后面的动名词短语 knowing...作宾语,后面并列的“疑问词+动词不定式”复合结构作 knowing 的宾语。 (2013·新课标Ⅰ) 主题:经营生意 词数:142 Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want.The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services.Most businesses seek to make a profit(利润)—that is,they aim to achieve income that is more than the costs of operating the business.__1__Commonly called nonprofits , these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers.__2__ Business management is a term used to describe the techniques of planning, direction , and control of the operations of a business.__3__One is the establishment(制定)of broad basic policies with respect to production,sales,the purchase of equipment,materials and supplies,and accounting.__4__ The third relates to the establishment of standards of work in all departments.Direction is concerned 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 20 - primarily with supervision(监管)and guidance by the management in authority.__5__ A.Control includes the use of records and reports to compare actual work with the set standards for work.

But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life changing events.( ) F.Luckily,research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.( ) G.In other words,when you take care of your body,you take care of your brain.( ) 步骤二:快速浏览文章,确定文章体裁,抓住文章结构。 不同的文章有不同的结构形式,确定文章体裁有利于我们确定各段之间的关系。一般说 来,记叙文的语言是按时间发展顺序或因果关系排列的,常用的连接词有:then,later,after that,soon,after a while,in the end,so,as a result,because of that 等。说明文 常采用总—分—总的结构形式,第一段说明要说明的主题,下面几段多是从不同的角度来说 明问题,最后总结,所以各段之间多是平行关系,经常出现举例说明的现象。议论文先抛出 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 45 - 议题,然后从正、反两个方面进行讨论,最后得出结论。新闻体裁的应用文首句为主题句, 下面展开细节性的报道。确定文章体裁有利于预测文章各段主要内容和结构形式,形成重要 的选择依据。 步骤三:分析篇章结构,找出各段的主题句或主旨大意。 分析文章的层次包含两种形式:一种是分析整篇文章的层次,也就是段落,说明文和议 论文这样体裁的文章,每段的第一句多是主题句。找到主题句有助于帮助确定选择的范围, 即所选句子必须和该段主题一致。另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次,也就是语篇层次。 要真正体会句与句的意义关系,把握作者的思路,从语序上去发现断续点,理清层次。 步骤四:注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段,寻找句中衔接标志词。 文章的行文需要通过一定的衔接手段来实现。文章的衔接手段有:重复使用某一词语或 子范畴的词语,使用同义词表达,用总称指代具体事物或用具体事物指代整体,使用代词避 免重复等。上述方法有助于段落的思路在句子之间平稳过渡。连贯使文章的每个段落、每个 句子甚至每个短语融为一体。段落一致与句子衔接是文章连贯的两个必要因素。 步骤五:区分相似项 七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项,会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰,这时要特别 细致地比对相似选项,方法和解答阅读理解时区分相似项一样。 步骤六:用代入法,检查答案是否合理。 将所有选择答案放回空白处,通读全文,检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题, 语篇结构是否通顺连贯、合乎逻辑、具有一致性,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是 否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 - 46 - 主题:成年人如何交友 词数:215 When you ask people how to make friends as an adult,they usually give you suggestions like,“get out there” “join a dance class” or “try spend dating”.__1__ After all,making friends does require us to get out into the world and take a few emotional risks.
