（2020·浙江卷·七选五）

I experienced years of loneliness as a child.   31  His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.

A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening.   32  I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me.   33 

My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were.   34  I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.

  35  My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.

A. I wasn’t alone any longer.

B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.

C. I was invited to play with another kid.

D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.

E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.

F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.

G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.

【答案】31-35 GDAFE

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者养成几个生活习惯的原因。

31.设空在段中，应是承前启后句。根据后文“His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine.”可知，设空句应提及his的身份，即G项中的My elder brother，且G项（我哥哥懒得和我一起玩。）在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。故选G项。

32.根据前句提到“我对文字的热爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知，D项（我喜欢书中的彩色插图）和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的books指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D项。

33.根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知，A项（我不在孤独。）和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。故选A项。

34.根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，F项（于是，我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣。）和上句构成因果关系，“我”正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始对制造东西产生了兴趣。故选F项。

35.根据后句“无论什么天气或季节，我的父母都要让我们花时间在户外”可知，E项（我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外。）和前句表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选E项。

（2020·全国III卷·七选五）

A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home.   36  And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.

  37  Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.

  38  This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes.   39 

Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift.   40   Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.

A. This isn’t usual though.

B. It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.

C. You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.

D. If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.

E. It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.

F. The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.

G. This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.

【答案】36-40 EBCAG

【解析】本文是说明文，介绍了乔迁聚会的目的、礼物的选取、活动安排和名称的由来。

36.空格前句提到庆祝乔迁之喜的聚会是亲戚朋友祝贺搬新家的人的一次机会，空格下句则是：这也是用充满爱和希望的礼物来填补新家的好时机。E项：它也给了人们一次看看新家什么样的机会。与上下句并列，都是庆祝乔迁之喜聚会的目的，故选E。

37.下文列举了参加聚会所带礼物的清单，可以是厨房工具、窗帘、艺术品或绿植。这些都和参加聚会带礼物有关，B项：带礼物去参加乔迁派对是一种传统，概括了本段内容，引出下文，故选B。

38.本段介绍了聚会的活动安排。空格后句：这一点通常是值得赞赏的，因为在乔迁派对上不会提供很多食物。那么本句是在建议你可以带上自己的食物或饮料与其他客人分享。故选C。

39.本段提到在乔迁聚会上人们会聚餐，主人带领客人参观新家。上句提到，由于乔迁聚会是在搬进新家后不久举行的，人们可能会被要求帮助打开包装箱。根据常识可知在乔迁聚会上让客人们帮忙干活是不常见的，A项（但这并不常见）表达了此意，与上文衔接，故选A。

40.上句介绍了乔迁聚会名称由来。根据“bring firewood to a new home as a gift”可知人们会带柴火作为礼物，那么本空承接上文说明了带柴火的目的和作用。G项：这样人们就可以在冬天的时候保持家里温暖。符合语境。故选G。

（2019·北京卷·七选五）

Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成)in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.  46  Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?

  47  They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball,where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.

To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调)their actions.  48  In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is,for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.”   49 

Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.

  50  An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.

A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.

B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent

C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.

D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.

E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.

F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.

G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

【答案】46-50 BEGDF

【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了建立一支最佳阵容球队比简单地雇佣最优秀的人才要复杂得多。一支一流球队可能需要一种平衡——不仅仅是最好球员，也需要一些有雅量的普通球员。

46.上文说大多数人认为建立一个伟大团队的最好方法就是聚集一群最有天赋的个人。下文说公司花费数百万雇佣顶级商业人士。该空承上启下，也是在举例，B选项（运动队老板花费数百万美元吸引顶尖人才。）切题，故选B。

47.下文说他们专注于足球、篮球和篮球。结果有好有坏。这些都属于体育方面，该空引出下文，E选项（最近的几项研究调查了体育世界中人才的作用。）切题，故选E。

48.上文说为了解释这一现象，研究人员探索了一场精彩的表现要求队员们行动相互协调的程度，下文说明了研究结果，该空承上启下，G选项（这项任务的相互依赖性使棒球区别于足球和篮球。）切题，故选G。

49.上文说一个球星为了个人得分，而影响团队的表现，该空承接上文，D选项（球星显然没有遵守运动员精神的基本原则）切题，故选D。

50.下文说一支一流球队可能需要达到一种平衡，不仅仅有最好的球员，也有一些有雅量的普通球员。该空引出下文，F选项（建立一支最佳阵容球队比简单地雇佣最优秀的人才要复杂得多。）切题，故选F。

Passage1

How You Open Your Car Door Matters to Cyclists

The “Dutch Reach” isn’t a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge.   1  And you might keep your car door safe in the process, too. All you have to do is change how you open your door.

Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle and the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may unknowingly create an obstacle for a passing cyclist. The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike.   2   Clearly, the solution is for the person exiting the vehicle to check for traffic. However, the car door design and long-time habits have made the process automatically.   3   Open your car door with your other hand using the Dutch Reach. So instead of using your left hand, reach for the door handle with your right. This will force you to turn your body. At the very least, you’ll look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic.

  4  All Dutch are taught it. It’s part of regular driver education. The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years in the Netherlands. In 2016 an American named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project. He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States. Charney’s efforts may be paying off.   5 

A. The car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.

B. The Dutch are used to opening their car doors this way.

C. Several states now include the Dutch Reach in their drivers’ handbooks.

D. It’s a simple move that can help prevent harm to cyclists.

E. People are trying to change the way to open the car.

F. It is easy to do once you are used to it.

G. Luckily, there’s a simple way to solve the problem.

【答案】1-5 DAGBC

【解析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了“荷兰式开车门法”——the “Dutch Reach”。

1.承接上句“The “Dutch Reach” isn’t a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge.”，本句为给出the “Dutch Reach”的定义，并由D选项的主语It可知指代前句的主语。故选D。

2.由前句“The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike.”讲的是骑自行车的人被门撞倒了，可以推知后一句应为车门被自行车撞后的后果。前句有might be与A选项中be likely to承接，故选A。

3.由后一句“Open your car door with your other hand using the Dutch Reach.”可推迟这是针对上文出现的问题提出解决方案，可对应到G选项。

4.由上下文的逻辑和后一句“All Dutch are taught it.”中的的it指代上文this way，可以推知选B。

5.由前文“He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States. Charney’s efforts may be paying off.”中的in the United States和paying off，可推断出来选C。

Passage2

Time after time, I am on different Internet forums, and I end up communicating with people who want to start a blog or website and are, “going to get started soon”, “thinking about it”, or “still going over my options”, and so on. While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still thinking about it”.

While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most.   6 

There is a proverb, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perfect plan. In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down.   7 

Yes, you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error.

Just make a decision and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist.   8 

It comes from the belief that “anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project.

To start, just begin with something that is good enough, and then keep working to improve on it. Make a basic

plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results.   9  Let go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with “it’s got to be perfect”.

I’ll leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect.   10  “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

A. In fact, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.

B. I’ll provide you with some examples of action.

C. Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.

D. However, he is an example to be followed today.

E. Once you begin, it’s often less painful to keep working.

F. Getting started on a project is not a life-and-death decision.

G. The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment.

【答案】6-10 CGAFD

【解析】这是一篇议论文。在日常生活中，许多人都有自己的计划，但是实际上过了好多天这些所谓的计划仍然在酝酿中，有可能永远在酝酿中。所以作者分析了阻止计划久久不能实施的原因是恐惧和完美主义，并着重说明完美主义是一种不健康的心态，任何事情只有去做，才能让事情逐渐完美，并告诫读者，制定了计划就要去做，不要想着什么事情都能做的完美。行动就可以了。

6.由“While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most.”可知，尽管有很多原因可能会阻止人们开始他们心中的计划，但恐惧是最明显的原因，完美主义似乎是第二重要的原因。所以空格处要与前一句为转折关系，来说明恐惧和完美主义虽然阻止人们开始他们心中的计划，但最好的解决方法是立刻行动。故C选项切题。

7.由“In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down.”可知，事实上，你花了太多时间去关注每件事情的正确性和完美性，这却会让你最初的热情消退。所以空格处要说明这导致的结果。故G选项（结果是时间流逝了，最好的时光也在流逝。）切题。

8.由前一句“Forget trying to be a perfectionist.”可知，要忘记成为完美主义者。本句应该解释原因，A项（事实上，完美主义是一种不健康的信念。）切题。

9.由该段内容可知，制定一个基本的计划，采取行动，然后开始改善实际的结果。放下恐惧，停止思考，开始行动，不要一开始就说：它必须是完美的。所以空格处要起到承上启下的作用。故F选项（开始一项计划并不是一个生死攸关的决定。）切题。

10.由“I’ll leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect.”可知空格处要与上一句为转折关系来说明这个实干家是我们今天要学习的榜样。故D选项（然而，他是我们今天要学习的榜样。）切题。

Passage3

Most of today’s Chinese Americans are the descendants(后代) of some of the early miners and railroad workers. From the start, the Chinese had lived apart in their own separate neighborhoods.  11  In each of them the residents organized an unofficial government to make rules for the community and to settle disputes.

Chinese Americans keep many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having lived here for several generations. For example,  12  Members of the family lend each other moral support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age, the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family, are passed from the older generation to the young.  13 

The high regard for education, which is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, and the willingness to work very hard to gain advancement, are other noteworthy characteristics of theirs.  14 

Chinese Americans make up only a tiny part of American population; there are fewer than a million, living chiefly in California, New York, and Hawaii. As American attitudes toward minorities and ethnic differences have changed in recent years,  15 

A. the Chinese Americans have gained wide acceptance.

B. their family ties continue to be remarkably strong.

C. This explains why so many descendants of uneducated laborers have succeeded in becoming doctors, lawyers, and other professionals.

D. saving money and passing down their fortune to their young is always the custom.

E. This helps to explain why there is so little juvenile delinquency(青少年犯罪) among them.

F. Later those came to be known as “Chinatowns”.

G. Nowadays, kids are living separately, far away from their parents.

12.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前的内容说“美籍华人保留了他们古代文化的许多方面”，空后说“家族成员相互给予精神鼓励和必要时的实际帮助”，这说明了美籍华人的家庭观念很强。分析选项可知B项（他们的家庭关系仍然非常牢固）符合题意，故选B。

13.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本空的前后内容：美籍华人从很小的时候对旧道德充满了崇敬，包括尊敬长辈和对家庭的责任感。因此这让美籍华人青少年犯罪率极低。分析选项可知E项（这有助于解释为什么他们青少年犯罪率如此之低。）符合题意，故选E。

14.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文：深植于中国文化里对教育的高度重视，以及努力工作追求上进的意愿，是他们具有的其他显著特征。因此没有受过教育的劳动者的后代会加倍努力进取，从而成为成功人士。这都是因为是美籍华人对教育的高度重视。分析选项可知，C项（这就解释了为什么这么多没有受过教育的劳动者的后代成为了优秀的医生、律师和其他专业人士。）符合题意，故选C。

15.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前的“近年来，随着美国对少数民族和种族差异的态度有所改变”，结合前文列举了华裔美国人的后代犯罪率低，努力进取，可推断出，美籍华人得到了广泛的认可。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。
