2018届二轮复习 七选五阅读理解专题典题演练
解题技巧
1.阅读时不能仅仅注重文章细节,更应该注意文章的布局。
2.注意句子之间的逻辑关系(是总还是分?是主旨还是细节?)。
3.注意段落间的逻辑关系(转折?递进?总结?举例?……)。
4.将历届高考试题进行分析,重点分析结构清晰的说明文或议论文。
5.“七选五”的解题策略
(1)从意思上判断
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,利用线索词等进一步确认答案。
(2)从词汇上锁定线索
做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感,最主要的线索词是空白前后的名词和动词,寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。
(3)从关联词上查找
由于英语的句、段之间经常会运用关联词或某些具有关联作用的副词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。例如,表示并列或递进关系的词,一般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性;表示转折或让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指,但句意对立,或褒贬对立或肯否对立;表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的句子,往往会有复述名词出现。常见的关联词及有关联作用的副词或短语如下:
1)并列或递进关系:and,or,also,neither...nor...,either...or...,likewise,similarly,equally,in the same way,that is to say,as well as,the same...as,besides,additionally,furthermore,moreover,in addition to,what is more等。
2)因果关系:because,for,since,as,thus,hence,therefore,so,so...that,consequently,accordingly,due to,thanks to,as a result,because of,in that,for this reason,of course等。
3)转折或让步关系:but,however,yet,on the contrary,by contrast,on the other hand,unfortunately,while,whereas,unlike,rather than,instead of,it is true that,although,though,even though,even if,nevertheless,despite,in spite of等。
4)时间关系:afterwards,at first,at last,finally,first,firstly,in the first place,to start with,in the meantime,last,later,next,second,secondly,then,third,thirdly,to begin with以及一些具体的时间等。
(4)根据试题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题策略
1)如果问题在段首
①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。
②与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一、二句,锁定线索信息词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词。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衔接手段。
③段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示,即阅读上一段结尾部分(通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来),并结合下一段内容,看所选的答案是否将两段内容连接起来。
2)如果问题在段尾
①空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。
②通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信息词,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。
③与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的词,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。
④
与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下,通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节,因此根据段落一致性原则,在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中会出现表示并列或递进关系的词或与前文类似的句式结构,或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句,通常会找到关键的线索词句。
⑤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。
⑥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。
3)如果问题是一整个自然段
①这个段落应该是承上启下,而且自成一体,即有一个段落的中心,因此可重点阅读选项中较长的选项,以此类推直至找到正确答案。
②着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一、两句查找相关的线索,而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头,因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。
③分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性,注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文,如果前后内容连贯,符合逻辑,就能得出正确答案。
真题例讲
A
(2016·全国Ⅰ)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 “135520135.”
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 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.

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 grown-up 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

(2016·全国Ⅲ)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 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.

The Science of Risk-Seeking
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.Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.__2__ As the quality of risk-taking 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 risk-taking could get one killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave 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 risk-seeking 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 risk-seekers 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 risk-seeking,we’ll continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
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 well-equipped 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.

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 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 well-being.
● __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.

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 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 we 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 Post-it notes.
D.At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control 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.

Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information.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.__1__
Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study.__2__
Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior“contributes to”or is“associated with”an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.__3__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense.If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.__4__ Evaluate“scientific”statements carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).
__5__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A.Make choices that are right for you.
B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D.And examine the findings of the original research.
E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.
G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

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 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

(2014·辽宁高考) Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.Every waking moment,the eyes are working to see the world around us.Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight,but it’s easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes.Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:
· Schedule yearly exams.__1__Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check.The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment,including eyeglasses.
· Protect against UV rays (紫外线).Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes.No matter what the season is,it’s extremely important to wear sunglasses.__2__
· Give your eyes a break.Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.__3__ Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule:every 20 minutes,take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
·__4__ As part of a healthy diet,eat more fruits and vegetables each day.Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
·Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜).Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight.While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses,many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.__5__ Otherwise,you may have problems such as red eyes,pain in the eyes,or a more serious condition.
A.Eat your greens.
B.Eye care should begin early in life.
C.They can properly protect your eyes.
D.Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.
E.Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight.
F.Always follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate wear.
G.This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often:ability,money,and time.__1__ Money is a topic I’ll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials already?__2__
2.Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most of it and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread?__3__ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.__4__ This may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.__5__ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A.Try new things.
B.Ability is easily improved.
C.Make three or four instead.
D.Understand your food better.
E.Cooking is a burden for many people.
F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

(2017·山东潍坊市高三年级统一考试)Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty,when all of those endless lists,long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-minute excitement of flying wrapping paper.__1__ The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.
1.Know the person
The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows you really know the person well,and you really care about him.__2__
2.Donate in their name
__3__ Research suggests that happier people give more to others,and that giving more makes people happier.Moreover,charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection.So,try giving to the less fortunate in someone’s name this holiday season.
3.Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs
__4__ A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love,and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.
Family heirlooms (传家宝) may be another good gift option.A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing—money—to the generations,the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.
4.Provide chances for participation
If there’s a golden rule of gifts,though,it’s this:__5__People who receive experiential gifts,such as concert tickets or a zoo membership,feel more connected to the gift giver than people who received material gifts.
A.But it doesn’t have to be that way.
B.Give experiences rather than objects.
C.The new and store-bought is not always best.
D.That is always beyond their expectation.
E.That means catering to another’s pleasure.
F.Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.
G.Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift to.

How to Be Creative
Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists,writers,or dancers,rather than ourselves.__1__ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.
1.Get out of your comfort zone
We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown.Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life.As stated earlier,the human brain was designed to recognize patterns.__2__ In fact,our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns.As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns,we rely less on creativity to find new paths.We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.
2.Try different things
If you always do what you’ve always done,you’ll always get what you’ve always got.We are creatures of habits and routines,and creativity hates routines.If you usually drive to work,take the subway for a few days.__3__ Interrupt your routine,experiment and try something new.New things are often creative,but the same old thing never is.
3.__4__
Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality.Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea.__5__ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life.If you can put them into practice,you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.
A.Take action
B.Seek several options
C.Think from the other person’s point of view.
D.If you normally eat in the office,have lunch under a tree.
E.The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.
F.We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.
G.We all have great ideas sometimes,but only a few people turn their ideas into realities.

(2017·湖北省八校高三第一次联考)If you intend to work with this book seriously,I suggest that you give yourself every advantage by carefully following the laws of learning:
Space your learning.
__1__ Each session may take one half hour to an hour and a half,depending on the amount of material and on your own speed of learning.Do one or two sessions at a time—three if you’re going strong and are all involved—and always decide when you stop and exactly when you will return.
__2__
Everyone learns at a different pace.Fast learners are no better than slow learners—it’s the end result that counts,not the time it takes you to finish.
Review.
When you start a new session,go back to the last exercise of the previous session,cover your answers,and see how much you remember.__3__
Test yourself.
You are not aiming for a grade,or putting your worth on the line,when you take the Comprehensive Tests.__4__You are deciding where repairs have to be made,and especially,you are experiencing a feeling of success at work that is well done.
Use these tests,as well as the abundant drill exercises,as aids to learning.No one is perfect,and no one learns in the exact same way or at the same speed as anyone else.__5__And then,give yourself every opportunity to exploit your actual,latent,and potential abilities.
But most important of all,as I will remind you several times throughout this book,develop a schedule and stick to it!
A.Do you have quick recall after a day,or you simply forget everything?
B.This approach works better than any other method for learning words.
C.On the contrary,you are discovering your weaknesses,if any.
D.Every chapter of this book is divided into “sessions”.
E.Real learning goes on only through active participation.
F.Do not rush—go at your own comfortable speed.
G.Find the optimum technique and speed for your unique learning patterns.

Getting older
No one really knows how and why people change as they get older.__1__ Aging is a complex and varied process that varies in how it affects different people and organs.In fact,even in one person,different organ systems “age” at different rates.
At a certain point in our lives our body systems will begin to weaken.__2__ It may become more difficult for us to see and hear.The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. In order to live longer,we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives.
__3__ A good diet plays an important role.The amount and the type of exercise we get are another two factors.__4__ But scientists studying the aging problem want to know:why do people grow old? They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer.
__5__ Many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living.Physical activity may become less,but often we get better understanding of the world and ourselves.
What we consider the old age now may only be middle- aged some day soon.With so many advances in medical science happening so quickly,life length may one day be measured in centuries,rather than in years!
A.Our living condition is yet another.
B.Many factors decide our health.
C.Our strength may become weaker.
D.As for diet,people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.
E.There is nothing to be afraid of as the old age comes.
F.Symptoms include a lack of energy,slow reactions,insomnia and poor memory.
G.Also,no theory sufficiently explains all the changes of the aging process.

(2017·陕西宝鸡市高三教学质量检测)We all have been told since we were kids that we need at least 8 hours of sleep every night.__1__ Not many.
Sleep,though,is one of the most important things our bodies need to stay healthy.Without the rest that sleep provides,our bodies and minds wear down to the point where not only do we lose our work efficiency,but lack of sleep can even make us sick.__2__
A lot of people eat late into the night and then try to sleep on a full stomach.__3__

(2017·广西桂林、崇左市高三4月联考)It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words,and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible.They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily.That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.
__1__ Here are some tips to help.
__2__ We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation.In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other.Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing) memory,which helps the memory.__3__ The more familiar we are with the word,the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words.__4__ Relate the word to terms we already know,either as synonym or antonym.For example,the word “gargantuan” is similar in meaning to words “gigantic”,“huge” and “large”.Make a sequence of words: “small,medium,large,gigantic,and gargantuan”.
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions.Think,“The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole”.
Learning English words requires action.Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help.__5__ Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.
A.So take action right now.
B.Speak the word while memorizing it.
C.Memorizing new words is very important.
D.Actually,some have given up learning new words.
E.In fact,learning new words needn’t be that difficult.
F.Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G.The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

How to Help a Teenager Make Good Decisions
Habitually poor decision-making is actually common in teenagers.Naturally,such a habit makes parent-teen cooperation difficult,especially when a parent wants his teen to do what a “responsible adolescent” would do.A poor decision-making teenager can never run away from his responsibilities.__1__
·Distinguish real problems from acts of pure “teenagerism”.Teens often make poor decisions simply because they don’t have the experiences.By making small and harmless mistakes,like a recently-developed habit of careless consuming,a teen learns good decision-making skills on his own via self-correction.__2__ Don’t think the teen is making bad decisions just to challenge you. It’s more likely it is out of a real inability to determine what’s best for him.
·__3__Tell your teen you understand his decisions while simply emphasizing that you don’t have to agree with his decisions or treat his views as valid.By not judging his opinions,tastes or style,you are opening the road to better communication and problem-solving opportunities.
·Set clear expectations.__4__ For example,if your teen refuses to study for his math final because “math is pointless”,explain that you expect him to perform well in school,even in the “pointless ” classes.Because you’ve already tolerated his opinion without trying to change his viewpoint,you two can easily agree that math isn’t so useful,yet avoid saying “Let’s just give up on math,then.”
·Find a middle ground.Trade insignificant freedoms,such as clothing style for the promise that he’ll live up to academic and family responsibilities.__5__ Not only does giving up a bit of control solve many conflicts,but the extra freedom you give him can also improve his decision-making.
A.Show tolerance.
B.Learn to solve problems.
C.Point out your expectations and his responsibilities.
D.If your teen could realize it,allow him to be himself.
E.A responsible adolescent must have role models to learn from.
F.Therefore,it’s important to guide them with problem-solving strategies.
G.Next time,he’ll be more likely to think twice before making his buying decision.

1,000 Hours a Year
Like you,all my e-mail goes into my Sent Mailbox,just sitting there if I want to check back at what I said to whom years ago.So what a surprise to see that I send approximately 18,250 e-mails each year (roughly 50 a day).Assuming 3 minutes per e-mail,that’s about 1,000 hours a year on e-mail alone.I’ve been on e-mail since the early 90s.__1__
The answer is both yes and no.Yes,I have been able to keep in touch with family,friends,and colleagues in far-away corners of the planet with ease.__2__ But while these undoubted benefits are the reasons why I continue to e-mail,it is not without its own cost.Most importantly,as the above analysis shows,e-mail eats my time just as it likely eats yours.
__3__ Each time a message arrives there’s just the chance that it might contain something exciting,something new,something special,a new opportunity.__4__ That’s just enough to keep me checking my Inbox.But that means perhaps only 10 of the 1 000 hours I spent on e-mails this year were actually wanted.
Frequent e-mail messages will certainly affect our real work.__5__ Like other potential addictions we should perhaps attempt to check the e-mail box at certain times of the day,or by creating e-mail-free zones by turning off Wi-Fi.Now I need to think whether I really want to be spending 1,000 hours a year on e-mail,at the expense of more valuable activities.
A.Was that time well spent?
B.All this feeds my continued use of e-mail.
C.Do you spend 1,000 hours on e-mails every year?
D.And we all recognize that e-mail has its addictive side.
E.E-mail uses technology to communicate a digital message over the Internet.
F.Maybe one in 100 e-mails contain something I really want to know or hear about.
G.Becoming aware of what e-mail is doing to our allocation of time is the first step to re-gaining control.

(2017·山西四校高三第二次联考)The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you.Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? __1__ And to help you keep your weight under control,you need some coping strategies.
Ask questions.When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets,ask as many questions as you can.__2__ Ask questions like:Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?
Get real.__3__ Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations.Remember,large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy.Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.
__4__ To maintain your weight,you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn.Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.
Weigh yourself weekly.It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan,but don’t get on the scale every day.Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture.__5__
A.Stay balanced.
B.Once a week is fine.
C.Stick with your healthy eating plan.
D.Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.
E.Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.

·Try physical activity.
When you are nervous,angry or upset,try releasing (释放) the pressure through exercise or physical activity.__1__
·Take care of yourself.
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough,or if you’re not eating properly,it will be more likely that you will fall into situations of stress. __2__
·Make time for yourself.
__3__ Don’t forget,play can be just as important as work.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
·__4__
Stress can result from disorganization (杂乱无章) and a feeling that “there’s so much to do,and not enough time.” Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and,as a result,you may not achieve anything.Instead,make a list of everything you have to do,then do one thing at a time. __5__ Set out to do the most important tasks first.
A.Bear in mind the most important task.
B.Schedule time for both work and play.
C.Check off each task as it is completed.
D.Make a list of the things you need to do.
E.For example,you could take your job as your hobby.

How can I get self-motivation?
When you are feeling less than motivated,it can be easy to fall behind on your work,personal life and aspirations.When this mood strikes,it is important to dig deep down and find a way to pull yourself through it to become the self-motivated person that you long to be.
__1__ For example,if your final goal is to do a 5 k run,make running a half mile without stopping your first level of achievements.It doesn’t have to be achieved all at once,but little by little.When you feel that you have fully reached your first level,move on to the next.Having an final goal,and setting steps to get there,can help you have mini achievements.__2__
When you want to reach a certain goal,it often helps to imagine already achieving it.You may be able to be more self-motivated if you keep track of your progress.__3__ Put one picture on the top of each page,and underneath,write what you did to reach that goal.If there are too few words on the page,it may be time to step up your efforts.
Special quotations can be a good way to inspire self-motivation.Find a quote that moves you and inspires you in a way that no other set of words has before.__4__ Look at it on a daily basis,and use it as a way to inspire you to be more self-motivated.
__5__ Even on days when your motivation is lacking,there are ways that you can do what you need to do.If you want to be more self-motivated,it takes a lot of sweat and drive,but it can eventually produce the results that you are longing for.
A.This practice can increase your drive to keep on going.
B.It is you that have to motivate yourself to achieve your goal.
