Technological innovation (创新) may not give you a warm feeling． __1__． Messaging apps are examples of technology that are helping bring people together． It's ready to continue improving our lives as innovation allows technology to really understand how we live．
__2__
Some of the most popular and widely adopted innovations make things we're already doing easier． A welldesigned piece of technology can transform something that consumes time into a worryfree swipe of your finger, giving you more time to spend with friends and family．
Proving that you really are you
Developers keep finding new and brilliant ways to prove our identities online． With fingerprints and voice recognition, technology keeps getting better at proving we are who we say we are． __3__． The more trust we have, the easier it will be to fully embrace the empowering aspects of fintech (金融科技) and having control of our financial data．
Helping make good ideas a reality
Crowdfunding (众筹) technology keeps breaking down barriers that may have previously kept good ideas from being realized． Here's how it works: You pitch (拋) your project to people through an online platform． __4__． By connecting dreamers and inventors to a new type of capital, technology is giving more creative ideas their opportunity to become a reality．
Adding even more quality to quality time
As technology continues improving, it becomes easier to build and maintain a connection with someone who isn't in the same location as you． __5__． And think about how great it will be when you can interact with your friends and relatives in virtual reality． It will be the next best thing to be together in person．

F．If they are interested in your project, they donate money to fund your project
G．Think about how much easier it is to connect via video conferencing than before

1．D　根据上一句“创新可能不会给你一种温暖的感觉”，下一句“有助于人们团结起来……改善我们的生活，因为创新让科技真正了解我们的生活方式。”可知，设空处应起承上启下的作用，提及人际关系的话题。D项符合前后语境，故选D项。
2．B　本空是总结句。根据下文内容可知，本段主要讲述创新使我们正在做的事情变得更省时、更容易，因此给我们腾出更多的时间和朋友、家人在一起。分析选项可知，B项符合题意。下文中“giving you more time to spend with friends and family”也是提示信息。故选B项。
3．E　由设空处下一句中的“The more trust we have, the easier it will be to fully embrace”可知，设空处应说明科技创新增强人们互信这一积极的价值，因此E项符合题意，故选E项。
4．F　本段的标题“Helping make good ideas a reality”意为“有助于使好的想法变成现实”。在本段中主要讲述了通过众筹，可把你的想法变为现实。把你的想法通过平台展现出来，如果有人感兴趣就会筹钱实现它。分析选项可知，F项符合题意。
5．G　根据上一句“As technology continues improving, it becomes easier to build and maintain a connection with someone who isn't in the same location as you．”可知，不在一个地方的人也能保持联系。根据下一句“And think about how great it will be when you can interact with your friends and relatives in virtual reality．(想想当你在虚拟现实中与你的朋友和亲戚互动时会有多棒。)”可知，本段讲的是随着科技的提高，不在同一地方的人们可通过网络联系，分析选项可知G项符合题意，故选G项。
Passage 2
限时8分钟
The process of forgiveness can be a liberating experience． Interestingly, forgiveness can only occur because we have been given the gift of the ability to make choices． __1__ The choice of offering forgiveness develops along three steps．
At step one you are filled with selfjustified anger． At some point in your life you have been hurt and you are mad at the person who you feel has wronged you． You blame the person committing the wrong． __2__ You have forgotten that you have a choice as to how you will react．
The second step towards forgiveness emerges when after feeling angry with someone for a while you realize that the anger does not feel good to you． __3__ So you take steps to forgive． You may begin to see the problem from the other person's point of view or you may simply decide to let the problem go． __4__
The third stage of forgiveness comes after you have seen the beneficial results of forgiveness and you don't want to waste your precious life on discomfort． In this stage the choice is to work to either repair the relationship or let go of seeing the situation as a problem． __5__ At this stage you are aware that the length of time you experience the situation as a sorrow is primarily up to you．
A．If we want to forgive someone, no one can stop us．
B．We have the choice to forgive or not to forgive and no one can force us to do either．
C．In either case you decide to forgive because you have had some practice with it and see the benefit in your life．
D．It is their action and not your choice of response that you feel causes your anger．
E．In either case you are no longer angry and you have forgiven the person．
F．This could emerge in a situation where you are cut off by another car on the road．
G．It may be hurting your emotional balance or your physical health．

1．B　根据空格上一句，我们被给予了“选择”的能力，而B项(我们可以选择原谅或者不原谅，没有人可以强迫我们)承接上文，故选B。
2．D　根据空格上文，我们都在责怪别人，把错误归结在他们身上，而D项(你感觉是别人的行动不是自己的选择造成你的愤怒)与前文衔接紧密。故选D。
3．G　根据空前一句可知，当发现生气对自己不好时，原谅别人的行为才会出现，G项阐述生气的坏处，切题。故选G。
4．E　根据空前一句可知，当换角度看问题或者不再去理会那些问题的时候，那么就已经没那么生气了，E项承接前一句，故选E。
5．C　根据本段第一句可知，意识到原谅的益处之后，才会产生原谅的第三个阶段，而C项与本句呼应，故选C。
Passage 3
限时7分钟
Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn't mean that we let them rule our lives forever． One day or the other, you'll have to stand up and say—problem, I don't want you in my life．
__1__ Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on． Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too． These keep adding to our problems． Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings．
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with． Now read on to know how to solve your problems．
Talk, it really helps． What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help． __2__ Talking helps you move on and let go．
Write your problems． __3__ When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system． You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems． By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life．
Don't lose faith and hope． No matter what you lose in life, don't lose faith and hope． Even if you lose all your money, family ．．． you should still have faith． __4__
Your problems aren't the worst． No matter what problem you get in life, there're another one million people whose problems are huger than yours． __5__ Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed．
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out．
A．But the truth is that when you talk about it, you're setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you．
B．When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, lifethreatening problem, how do we try and solve it?
C．Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can't I?
D．Of course, we've been fighting problems ever since we were born．
E．We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack．
F．Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don't want a real person to talk with．
G．With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lost．

1．D　第一段指出问题是我们生活中的一部分，但我们不会让它主宰我们的生活；设空后提到了这些问题可能存在于哪些方面。D项(当然，自从我们出生的那一刻起，我们就在和这些问题作斗争)起到了衔接上下文的作用，故选D。
2．A　根据本段中的“What most of us think ．．． and that no talking is going to help．”可知，大多数人都会认为，把自己的问题说出来也没有用。而A项内容是强调把问题说出来能够释放内心积压的消极情绪，表示一种转折，很好地承接了下文提到的说出问题的益处。故选A。
3．F　本段的建议是人们可以把问题写出来，释放内心的焦虑情绪，F项表明通过写日记来排解内心的紧张，故F项的内容符合语境，而且diary是关键词。
4．G　本段强调的是无论何时都不要失去信念和希望，而G选项也是告诫人们只要有信念和希望，就能重建失去的一切。故选G。
5．C　本段讲的是自己遇到的问题不会比他人的严重。而C项(告诉自己：他们都能把问题解决掉，自己为什么不能？)符合语境。
Passage 4

How to Pick a Great Book to Read
The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read． How can you pick one you'll really like? Here are some tips：
•What makes you happy?
__1__Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific person? Are there a few careers you're interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its subject．
•Fact or fiction?
Some books are entirely made up and imagined． Those are called fiction books． Novels, short stories are all examples of fiction． These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience．
Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why． __2__Nonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans． Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you like better．
•Find a family favorite．
What was your mother's favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad's? __3__Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts． It's a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you'll enjoy!
•Ask an expert．
__4__Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you're into—and the names of some books you already like． Your librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love．
•Launch a book swap．
__5__It's always fun to see what your friends are reading． Even if they're not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like． You also can look for book swaps in your area． It's a great way to build your personal library for free!
A．Ask them and give it a read．
B．Many of them read novels from start to finish．
C．Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books?
D．If you have a favorite hobby, look for books about that activity．
E．They tell stories using facts—but that doesn't mean they're boring．
F．Read the passage and decide for yourself whether it seems knowledgeable．
G．Your local library is a great place to find books that you'll love, and you don't have to search all by yourself．

1．D　根据后面句子内容可知，如果你对恐龙、狗、某个人或者某个职业特别感兴趣的话，你可以看一些专业的书来了解它们，所以确定答案为D，即如果你有某种兴趣爱好，可以看一些这方面的书。
2．E　该空前面一句“Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why．”可知，非小说类图书给你提供人物、事件、时间等，这些都是具体的事实，所以后句应为E项所述，即这些都是事实，但不意味着这些书就是枯燥的。E项起着承上启下的作用。
3．A　该段的主题句为“Find a family favorite．(找到家庭成员的爱好。)”。设空前的句子告诉我们要发现父母亲在我们这个年纪时喜欢的书籍；设空后又提到与他们一起讨论并分享观点，A项承上启下。故选A。
4．G　根据空后的“Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars ．．．”可知，图书管理员会帮助你找到自己喜欢的书，所以G项符合上下文语境。
5．C　根据空后的“It's always fun to see what your friends are reading．”可知，C项“为何不和朋友聚在一起，交换彼此最喜欢的书？”符合语境。故选C。
Passage 5

How Not to Be Awkward
Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm．__1__ This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process． So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward． Let's try to find answers to the questions．
Stay in shape and dress up well
Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight． When you are large in size, you tend to get very selfconscious． So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day．__2__ If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980's film when actually it is 2019, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself．
Be optimistic
Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face． __3__ On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive thinking person is appreciated by everybody． So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi！” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!
Participate in team activities
This one really helps． Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others． So, in order to change this situation, join groups．__4__ Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness． Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!
Develop your personality
Being a bookworm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere． For selfimprovement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life． Learn singing or try adventure sports．__5__
A．Learn how to end a conversation．
B．Secondly, have appropriate clothes on．
C．For instance, if you are a reading lover, join a book club．
D．If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you．
E．Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too．
F．Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others．
G．Awkwardness could be because you do not have anything in common to talk about．

1．F　根据空前一句“Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm．”可知，并不是所有的人都很外向，能使世界为之倾倒，也就是说我们中有很多人比较害羞，不愿意和他人交往。空后一句进一步对这种情形进行了解释，即这种情况通常发生在十几岁的时候。故选F。
2．B　根据本段标题“Stay in shape and dress up well”可知，要想在人际交往中不尴尬，需要保持体形，并穿着得体。空前一句说的是多锻炼保持体形，那么该空要填的句子就应该是与dress up well一致的含义。只有B项符合。
3．D　根据本段标题“Be optimistic”可知，本段中心思想就是要求我们要有乐观的心态。再根据空后一句可知，一个面带微笑，开心并积极思考的人会受到他人的喜欢，也就是说如果总是不开心，不乐观地面对一切，没有人会喜欢你。只有D项符合。
4．C　根据空前一句“So, in order to change this situation, join groups．”可知，作者建议我们要改变这一情况，应参加小组活动。故选C。
5．E　根据本段第二句“For selfimprovement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life．”可知，为了提高自己，要培养一个爱好，这个爱好可以给你的生活带来很大的积极意义。 只有E项能承接上文。

Go back to what's important
When we get stuck, it can be extremely useful to come back to these three things：core values, beliefs and goals． Why？__2__

Relocate yourself to an inspiring environment
__5__ You can go for a walk in a nearby park． You can come out of the office for a cup of coffee． Or if you are at home, you can simply go to a different room in the house． Whether it's urban spaces, parks, libraries, museums or even our own backyards, there are plenty of available sources that we can draw inspiration and strength from．

3．C　根据本段标题“Ask for help”和空后的“And don't be afraid to reach out and help someone who's even more stuck than you．(而且也不要害怕去倾听和帮助那些比你的境况更糟的人。)”可知本题答案为C项(当你深陷困局的时候不要害怕向他人求助)。
4．G　设空前的内容在讲述向你身边的人询问对他们来说有效的方法、读见解深刻的书和博客文章，使用他人使用过的方法来走出困境，G项中的“their mind”与前文中所述他人的方法、书和博客文章相呼应，因此本题答案为G项(事实上，这种方法只不过是他人用大脑创造的一种自然途径)。
5．D　根据本段标题及空后的“You can go for a walk in a nearby park． You can come out of the office for a cup of coffee． (你可以去附近的公园散步，你可以走出办公室去喝杯咖啡。)”可知本题答案为D项(一种摆脱困境的方法就是仅仅改变你置身的环境)。

Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? __1__， color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel．
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point． __2__， they can get a little complex． But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones．
__3__． They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms． Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable．
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves． __4__． They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space．
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors． Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant． __5__．
A．While all of them are useful

C．If you're experimenting with a color
D．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with

4．G　空格下一句提到中等物品颜色的选择和小物品颜色选择作比较的两个方面：一是花费，二是对空间感觉的影响。与选项G中的“two major ways”呼应。

⊕(2019·昆明市高三摸底调研测试)
How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family
Communication is important for strong family relationships． __1__ Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds．
Listen actively． When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things． It's important to make your family member feel heard and valued． Put your phone away and give them your full attention． Never think about other things when someone is talking． __2__
Repeat what has been said． Briefly summarizing what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication． Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family member's point can show you were listening． __3__ It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well．
__4__ Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation． Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response． This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking． Do not talk over someone either． No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished．
Avoid hurrying the speaker． __5__ Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along． Never say things like “Can you get to the point？” This will make it seem like you're not interested in the conversation．
A．Do not interrupt．
B．Never rush the person into talking．
C．Instead, focus on what's being said．
D．People tend to pause when they speak．
E．It can help you make sure you understood the speaker．
F．When someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary．
G．However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate．

1．G　空前一句突出交流对巩固家庭成员之间关系的重要性，空后一句是说使用倾听技巧可以帮助你更好地交流以及建立更密切的联系，故G项“然而，如果你不能真心倾听对方，交流就会变得困难”从反面进一步强调倾听的重要性。
2．C　本段围绕“Listen actively．”展开，根据本段的内容及空前一句“当别人讲话时不要去想其他的事情”可知，C项“而要关注对方正在说的内容”符合语境。
3．E　本段紧扣“Repeat what has been said．”进行论证，空处与前一句构成递进关系，E选项中的“It”指代前一句中的“repeating a family member's point”。
4．A　空处为段首句，根据段落特征可知，本句应为祈使句且为本段的主题句。空后一句讨论打断别人会中断有效的交流，由此可以推断段首句应为不要打断(他人说话)，故A项符合语境。
5．B　本段主题是“避免催促说话人”。空处谈论的内容应与首句相关，B项中的“rush”与空前的“hurrying”同义，表示“催促”，故选B项。

•Rethink mornings． Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider rearranging your morning activities． If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags． __3__ That's a quarterhour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer．
•Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends． If you're tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful． But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found． __4__

Passage 9
限时6分钟
(2017·北京高考)Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy． When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month．__1__
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories． __2__ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day． __3__
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right． __4__ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．
If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information—our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner． The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size． __5__ “You keep what matters，” Tononi says．
A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．
B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．
C．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick．
D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．
E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．
F．“Sleep is the price we pay for learning，” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea．
G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice．

1．C　首句指出每种动物都要睡觉，但原因仍然是个谜。接下来是具体例证，如实验室的老鼠被剥夺了睡眠，一个月内就会死亡，C项(同样，人类如果连续几天不睡觉，就会生病)符合逻辑。故选C。
2．E　该段首句提出了第一个假设，睡眠帮助我们巩固新的记忆。与这个论点相呼应的例子是E项，该项中的that指代的就是前面的假设，也就是说，这个假设能够解释为什么学生如果能在学习之后睡觉休息，会在考试中发挥更好。
3．F　由下段首句中的代词he可知，该空中必然包含一个人名，否则he就失去了所指对象，浏览各选项，可锁定F项和G项，但只有F项(研究人员Tononi说，“睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价”)能与本段的内容(睡眠是为第二天的新记忆腾出空间)相符。
4．G　该段首句说“现在我们有最直接的证据证明他的假设是对的”，那接下来应该是具体描述该证据。此外，该空后面一句话解释了实验的结果和意义。综合看来，只有G项符合语境，指出了研究团队、实验对象及实验内容。
5．B　由空后的“You keep what matters (你记住要紧的事情)”可锁定B项(似乎大脑在保存它最重要的记忆)。

2．E　根据上一句“Exercising makes you more awake(锻炼能让你更清醒)”，E项(你可以在运动后保持头脑清醒4～10个小时。)是对上一句的进一步解释。故选E。
3．F　空格前的句子是本段的主题句，晨练是新陈代谢的开始，空格后句子说如果晨练，则令你受益的是卡路里一整天都在燃烧，F项(锻炼之后，你一整天都在燃烧卡路里)符合语境。故选F。
4．B　此处缺一个主题句。空格后句子解释了早起锻炼的人比晚上锻炼的人睡得更好。B项(你的睡眠质量提高了)是对该段内容的总体概括，并且体现了晨练的又一个益处。故选B。
5．A　本段讲述的是晨练有助于锻炼者坚持选择健康的食物。A项(你将坚持你的饮食)符合本段内容，是主题句，起到统领下文的作用。故选A。
