七选五Reading is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them? A few famous people may give you some helpful tips. ● Read books from past eras.___1___ Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said. ● ___2___ Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that “you must linger (流连) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would obtain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.”● Shop at secondhand bookstores. Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers. ___3___ ● Check out authors’ reading lists. In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. ___4___ Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read.”● Make the final decision by yourself. ___5___ It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.A．Interest is the best teacher.B．Great authors are great readers.C．Leave some room for older works.D．Learn more about those great authors.E．Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.F．There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.G．Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. ____6____ But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Climate change can cause extreme events like wildfires and floods. ____7____ How does climate change make you feel? The news of melting glaciers and oil spills may seem overwhelming and can make you feel angry, frightened, hopeless or upset. This is called climate anxiety. ____8____ If you feel worried about what’s happening to the world, good for you. It’s normal to be upset when things you care about are getting hurt.____9____ There are lots of things you can do to help adults take better care of the world. Turn your fear into power by doing something. Breaking the problem into bite-sized chunks is a good way to start. Think of something you feel passionate about, such as protecting ocean life or saving forests, and join a community group or charity that supports that cause. Local charities like Plastic Free Coast organize beach cleans, and the Rainforest Team has lots of planet-saving ideas, such as reducing food waste.Positive action can inspire others too. Sisters Kim and Stella King from the charity Fights Against Plastic have picked up 90,000 pieces of plastic. They ask schools, businesses and organizations to follow their lead. ____10____ .A．Why is there climate anxiety?B．And it is a normal, healthy response.C．This risks the lives of humans, animals and plants.D．Remember, it’s important to get support from people around.E．No one can fix climate change on their own but we can all play a part.F．These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle.G．So, tell friends and family what you’re up to and encourage them to join in.In 2013, digital media consultant Baratunde Thurston launched an experiment. He decided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days: no Facebook, no Twitter, not even e-mail. He needed the break. ____11____ It didn’t take him long to adjust to a disconnected life. By the end of that first week, he was less stressed about not knowing new things. ____12____ He enjoyed food without Twittering the experience. But the end came too soon. After the twenty-five days. he had to restore his online presence.His experiment summarizes two important points about our relationship with social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools fragment (碎裂) our time and reduce our ability to concentrate. ____13____ But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.To fight back against these distractions, Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet altogether. But the problem is that no one is meant to actually follow Thurston’s lead. ____14____ That is to accept our current distracted state as unavoidable. This brings me to the second point summarized by Thurston’s story: it didn’t take him long once the experiment ended to slide back into the fragmentedstate where he began.This rule proposes a third option: accepting that these tools might be vital to your success and happiness, but meanwhile accepting that most people should be using fewer such tools. I won’t ask you, in other words, to quit the Internet altogether like Thurston did. ____15____ There is a middle ground, and if you’re to develop a deep work habit, you must fight to get there.A．He struck up conversations with strangers.B．It is a real problem for many different people.C．“I was burnt out, fried, and done,” he explained.D．This reality accounts for the remaining alternative.E．He had to return to the online world with books to market.F．But I’ll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness.G．Fortunately, you will break the habit of surfing the Internet gradually.The Ancient Chinese Game of GoWeiqi, known in English as Go, is one of the four skills that an ancient Chinese intellectual (知识分子) could possess.

You have to be very strong of mind. ____19____ You might make mistakes during a game, and then have to readjust your mentality in order to fight to the end.”In fact, all of our minds can benefit from playing Go, which officially has the capacity to make you smarter. Research has shown that children who play Go have the potential for greater intelligence. ____20____Today, the number of Go fans in China is at 36 million and rising. Some universities like Beijing University are even offering courses in Go to undergraduates.A．There’s always loss and gain.B．It’s a war between equal powers.C．That is because it motivates both the right and left sides of the brain.D．You can also cultivate your character and improve your intelligence.E．But more often, ancient Chinese played Go to cultivate their mind and character.F．The influence of Go on Chinese society is quite evident in literature works.G．Many people also love this ancient game for the Chinese philosophy it contains.The 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago in China to guide agricultural production.

At this time of year, farmers begin to plough their fields.

Honey, dates and Chinese yam are also very good nourishment(营养) to put in the porridgeA．With Rain Water coming, insects become more active.B．A bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.C．Therefore, Rain Water is considered as a key period to water the fields.D．According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil.E．The temperature in most of the basin areas increases quickly during Rain WaterF．One of the 24 solar terms, which is very important in spring, is called Rain Water.G．The fast increase in air humidity due to rainfall can result in lower temperature and wet weather.SELF-STUDY TIPSHowever difficult you find it to arrange your time, it will pay off in the long run if you set aside a certain part of the day for studying—and stick to it. ____26____ But don’t forget to make sure that you have enough left for recreational activities or simply to be “with” yourself: reading a novel or watching a television programme.As part of your weekly schedule, it is also advisable to consider exactly what you have to do in that week, and make sure that you handle the most significant tasks first. ____27____On a physical level, make sure you have an area or space for studying. ____28____ If you always study in the same place, preferably a room of your own, you will find it easier to adjust mentally to the activity when you enter that area.

If you use a personal computer, there are plenty of guidelines available from the movement on angles, lighting and the like. ____29____If you are working on topic your teacher has set, but finding it hard to concentrate, it may be that you actually need to take your mind right off it for a period of time. ____30____ After a period away from the test, having not thought about it at all, you may return to it refreshed and full of ideas.A．Don’t do it just anywhere.B．It is best to make a weekly schedule.C．Make use of equipment that is available to you.D．“Airing the mind” can work wonders sometimes.E．Consult these and avoid the typical student aches and pains.F．It’s all too easy to read something and then forget where it came from.G．It’s wise to leave the easier or less urgent areas of your work until later.   参考答案：1．C2．E3．G4．B5．F【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读应该选什么样的书合适以及该去哪儿找到它们。1．上文“Read books from past eras.(阅读过去时代的书籍。)”是本段的主旨句。下文“Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it.(否则，正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦所说，你将“完全依赖于你所处时代的偏见和时尚”。)”可知，作者建议读者阅读过去的书籍。C项“Leave some room for older works.(为旧作品留出一些空间。)”也是建议大家阅读旧时代的书籍，符合本段主旨，故选C项。2．根据横线所在位置，可知此处应是小标题，概括下文。根据下文“Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.(在太短的时间内阅读太多种类的内容会使文章无法给您留下持久的印象。)”可知，在太短的时间内读太多的书就会消化不了其中的知识，不能留下深刻印象。E项“Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.(读完一本书后不要太快地去读另一本)”，与下文表述一致，能概括本段内容。故选E项。3．根据本段小标题“Shop at secondhand bookstores.(在二手书店购物。)”以及空前“Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack.
