Here are some tips to get your little ones to help you do housework naturally.
Expose kids to housework as much as possible
When they are young, let them watch you cook, wash clothes or walk the dog, or let them help make a bed. ____16____.
Especially during the early years, give children the opportunity to wander over and watch what’s going on with the adults. ____17____. No lecturing or explanation is needed. This psychological integration (融入) into the family is really important for kids to learn to work together with others later in life.
____18____.
A big motivating force for young children is being around their family working on a common goal. This motivation is lost if we divide up housework so everyone is working alone. Therefore, if you’re doing laundry, be sure everyone is folding everyone’s clothes. If you have the children just fold their own clothes, the task becomes more about working independently.
Don’t force it
Sometimes people think that to get children to do housework, the parents must be doing a really good job of controlling the kids. ____19____. The aim is not to control the kids, but rather to develop the children’s own initiative (主动性).
Forcing the child actually has the opposite effect. It can generate resistance.
____20____. Asking a little kid “Could you help me with this?” often gets them on board more often than simply saying “You must do this”.
A. Actually, the opposite is true.
B. Always aim to work together.
C. The goal is to control the parents.
D. Change your mind about young children.
E. Just like adults, kids don’t like being bossed around.
FYou’ll be surprised by how much children learn by simply observing what you do.
G. Basically, be sure they’re around anything you want them to help you later in life.
【答案】16. G17. F18. B19. A20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何让你孩子自然地帮助你做家务。
【16题详解】
根据上文“When they are young, let them watch you cook, wash clothes or walk the dog, or let them help make a bed. (当他们年轻时，让他们看你做饭、洗衣服或遛狗，或者让他们帮忙铺床。)”可知，上文举例介绍了让孩子尽可能多地看你做家务，让他们接触到家务，G项意为“总的来说，确保他们在你希望他们在以后的生活中帮助你做的任何事情的周围。”选项是对上文的总结，当孩子小的时候，让他们看你做饭、洗衣服或遛狗，总的来说，你想在未来的生活中让孩子帮助你做什么，就让孩子看你做什么。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Especially during the early years, give children the opportunity to wander over and watch what’s going on with the adults. (特别是在早期，给孩子们一个机会去你周围闲逛，看看大人在干什么。)”可知，上文再次强调让孩子多观察大人在干什么，F项意为“你会惊讶于孩子们仅仅通过观察你所做的事情就能学到多少东西”能够承接上文，让孩子多观察大人在干什么，你会惊讶于孩子们仅仅通过观察就会学到很多东西。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据下文“A big motivating force for young children is being around their family, working on a common goal. (幼儿的一大动力是与家人在一起，为共同的目标而努力。)”可知，本段内容告诉我们幼儿喜欢和家人一起做一件事，为共同的目标而努力，B项意为“始终以合作为目标。”选项能够概括段落主旨，本段内容主要讲述的是要想让孩子做家务，就要始终以合作为目标，因为幼儿喜欢和家人一起做一件事，为共同的目标而努力。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes people think that to get children to do housework, the parents must be doing a really good job of controlling the kids. (有时人们认为，要让孩子做家务，父母必须在控制孩子方面做得很好。)”可知，上文的观点认为要让孩子做家务，父母需要控制孩子；根据下文“The aim is not to control the kids, but rather to develop the children’s own initiative (主动性). (目的不是控制孩子，而是培养孩子的主动性。)”可知，下文观点认为要让孩子做家务，不是要控制孩子，而是培养孩子的主动性，A项意为“事实上，情况恰恰相反。”选项能够承接上文并引起下文，否定了上文的观点，引出了下文的观点。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Asking a little kid “Could you help me with this?” often gets them on board more often than simply saying “You must do this”. (问一个小孩“你能帮我一下吗？”经常能让他们参与进来，而不仅仅是简单地说“你必须这样做”。)”可知，上文告诉我们要让一个小孩帮你做家务，不要用命令的口吻，E项意为“就像成年人一样，孩子们不喜欢被人指手画脚。”选项能够承接上文，让一个小孩帮你做家务，不要说“你必须这样做”，因为就像成年人一样，孩子们不喜欢被人指手画脚。故选E。

【02】江西省名校高中2022-2023学年高三上学期联合测评
Ponds (池塘) are a common sight. There are different kinds of ponds. ___16___ Like other kinds of ponds, they can add beauty to a garden or a landscape. The difference is that they’re powered by solar energy.
A great pond usually needs an energy source to power up a pump and lights. Without a pump, a pond may hardly receive new clean water. ___17___ A solar-powered pump helps maintain healthy water quality and enables the addition of fish, if desired.
No solar garden pond would be complete without solar-powered lights. They are powered by a free, renewable energy source. This allows us a green life. ___18___ Strategic placement of lights around a pond will result in a beautiful appearance, both during the day and at night.
___19___ The solar pump and lights need to get energy from the sun. Placing a pond in direct sunlight increases the growth of algae (藻) in summer. However, placing it in the shade or partial shade may not produce enough solar energy to keep pumps and lights running.
If you’ve decided to create such a pond, choose a suitable location for your pond, and consider buying proper solar accessories according to your pond’s location, size and so on. If possible, you can ask professionals for suggestions. ___20___
A. There are many ways to live a green life.
B. The need for inconvenient wiring can be avoided as well.
C. Nowadays,there’s a growing interest in solar garden ponds.
D. Using solar energy for such ponds is not without limitations.
E. That is why clean water is key to the survival of human beings.
F. Through your efforts,you are sure to get a beautiful and efficient one in the end.
G. The pond may become dirty and smell bad with a lot of mosquitoes flying around.
【答案】16. C17. G18. B19. D20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了太阳能花园池塘通过使用太阳能给池塘供电，给人们带来诸多便利和好处，但同时也有不足之处。
【16题详解】
根据上文“There are different kinds of ponds.(有不同种类的池塘) ”和下文“Like other kinds of ponds, they can add beauty to a garden or a landscape. The difference is that they’re powered by solar energy. (像其他种类的池塘一样，它们可以为花园或风景增色。不同的是，它们是由太阳能驱动的)”可知，设空句中会提及一种由太阳能驱动的不同类型的池塘，C项“Nowadays,there’s a growing interest in solar garden ponds.(如今，人们对太阳能花园池塘越来越感兴趣)” 中的“solar garden ponds”即这种新型池塘，也是下文指示代词“they”指代对象。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“Without a pump, a pond may hardly receive new clean water. (没有水泵，池塘可能很难接收新的干净的水)”提出没有水泵池塘就很难获得干净的水，结合常识，G项“The pond may become dirty and smell bad with a lot of mosquitoes flying around.(池塘可能会变得肮脏和恶臭，还有许多蚊子飞来飞去)”给出这种情况会导致的结果，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“They are powered by a free, renewable energy source. This allows us a green life. (它们由一种免费的可再生能源提供动力。这让我们有一个绿色的生活)”提出太阳能花园池塘带给我们的好处，B项“The need for inconvenient wiring can be avoided as well. (也可以避免不方便的布线)”承接上文，继续列举太阳能池塘带给我们的另一个好处，句中“as well”表明其并列关系。故选B项。
19题详解】
设空处为本段主题句。根据段中“The solar pump and lights need to get energy from the sun. Placing a pond in direct sunlight increases the growth of algae(藻)in summer. (太阳能泵和太阳能灯需要从太阳获得能量。把池塘放在阳光直射下会增加藻类的生长)”可知，本段主要介绍太阳能花园池塘的缺陷。D项“Using solar energy for such ponds is not without limitations.(在这种池塘中使用太阳能并非没有局限性)”能很好概括段落主题。故选D项。
【20题详解】
上文“If you’ve decided to create such a pond, choose a suitable location for your pond, and consider buying proper solar accessories according to your pond’s location, size and so on. (如果你已经决定创建这样一个池塘，为你的池塘选择一个合适的位置，并考虑购买适当的太阳能配件根据你的池塘的位置，大小等等)”介绍了建造太阳能花园池塘需要考虑的事情，F项“Through your efforts, you are sure to get a beautiful and efficient one in the end. (通过你的努力，你一定会得到一个漂亮和高效的最后)”承接上文，给出文章结语，且句中“your efforts”与上文“choose...,and consider...and so on.”相照应。故选F项。

In our daily lives, we need to look at where we focus our time and energy. ____16____—our health, our children, problems at work, the national debt, or the nuclear war. We could separate those from things in which we have no particular mental or emotional involvement by creating a “Circle of Concern”.
____17____, it becomes apparent that there are some things over which we have no real control and others that we can do something about. We could identify those concerns in the latter group by limiting them within a smaller Circle of Influence.
Proactive (积极主动的) people focus their efforts on the Circle of Influence. ____18____. The nature of their energy is positive, enlarging and magnifying, causing their Circle of Influence to increase.
Reactive people, on the other hand, focus their efforts on the Circle of Concern. ____19____, the problems in the environment, and circumstances over which they have no control. Their focus results in blaming and accusing attitudes, reactive language, and increased feelings of sadness.
____20____—to be a better listener, to be a more loving marriage partner, to be a better student, to be a more cooperative and dedicated employee. Sometimes the most proactive thing we can do is be happy, just to genuinely smile. Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice. There are things, like the weather, which our Circle of Influence will never include. But as proactive people, we can carry our own physical or social weather with us. We can be happy and accept those things that at present we can’t control, while we focus our efforts on the things that we can.
A. Our time and energy are limited
B. We each have a wide range of concerns
C. They focus on the weakness of other people
D. They work on the things they can do something about
E. As we look at those things within our Circle of Concern
F. There are so many ways to work in the Circle of Influence
G. Now that it’s a good idea to focus on your Circle of Concern
【答案】16. B17. E18. D19. C20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是“关注圈”和“影响圈”，并介绍了积极的人和被动的人的区别。
【16题详解】
空后说“our health, our children, problems at work, the national debt, or the nuclear war(我们的健康，我们的孩子，工作上的问题，国家债务，或者核战争)”，这些都是我们关注的事情，B选项“We each have a wide range of concerns(我们每个人都有各种各样的关注)”引出了下文我们关注的事情，因此B选项引起下文，符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据下文“it becomes apparent that there are some things over which we have no real control and others that we can do something about(很明显，有些事情我们无法真正控制，而有些事情我们可以做些什么)”可知，空后的内容是我们在审视一些事情时所发现的，E选项“As we look at those things within our Circle of Concern(当我们观察我们的担忧圈内的那些事情时)”引出了下文在观察完关注圈内的那些事情后的发现，因此E选项引起下文，符合语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
空前说“Proactive (积极主动的) people focus their efforts on the Circle of Influence.(积极主动的人把精力集中在自己的影响圈上。)”，D选项“They work on the things they can do something about(他们致力于他们能做的事情)”中的They指代的是前面的“Proactive (积极主动的) people”，且承接上文，继续说这些积极主动的人会做的事情，因此D选项承接上文，符合语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
空前说“Reactive people, on the other hand, focus their efforts on the Circle of Concern.(另一方面，被动的人把精力集中在关注的圈子里。)”，空后说“the problems in the environment, and circumstances over which they have no control.(环境中的问题，以及他们无法控制的情况。)”，这说明被动的人把精力集中在一些不好的事情上，C选项“They focus on the weakness of other people(他们只关注别人的弱点)”说明了被动的人会怎么做，且说明他们关注的是不好的事情，因此C选项承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
空后说“to be a better listener, to be a more loving marriage partner, to be a better student, to be a more cooperative and dedicated employee.(做一个更好的倾听者，做一个更有爱的婚姻伴侣，做一个更好的学生，做一个更合作、更敬业的员工。)”，F选项“There are so many ways to work in the Circle of Influence(在影响圈里有很多工作方式)”中的“many ways”指的是空后的那些方法，说明了影响圈里有很多工作方式，因此F选项引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

The “Three Rs” of Environmental Protection
Last time you drank a soda in an aluminum can or water in a plastic bottle, what did you do with thecan or bottle when you were finished? Did you know both could be recycled? To recycle something is to make it into something else. Pollution is the introduction of harmful chemicals into the environment that can hurt people and the earth. Pollutants can come from garbage that isn’t recycled. ____16____ . These pollutants can make us and animals very sick. It is a big problem in our world today.
Is there something you can do about it? There sure is. ____17____ .
First, reduce. Something simple like turning off the lights when you leave a room or turning off the water faucet while you brush your teeth can make a big difference. ____18____ , and even using a cloth towel rather than a paper towel when you spill something in the kitchen can help our planet.
When you don’t want a toy you have anymore, don’t just throw it away. Find a friend who might want it. That is reusing. Clothes you have grown out of can be donated for others to wear. A plastic cup you drank out of can be cleaned and used to store small toys in your room. ____19____
____20____ . Look on the bottom of plastic cups and containers. If you see a recyclable symbol, you can recycle the item. Newspapers, school papers, even glass jars and bottles can be recycled. Most neighborhoods have garbage trucks that just pick up recyclable items. Ask your parents if there is one in your area and use it.
We only have one planet to live on. Be someone who makes an effort to take care of it.
A. Garbage can be recycled and made into something new
B. Many of the items that are thrown away could be reused
C. Countless things can be recycled
D. Pollution affects living things other than animals
E. You can help by “reducing”, “reusing” and “recycling”
F. Pollution can also be caused by smoke and exhaust (废气)in the air and chemicals we put in the water
G. Walking or riding a bike rather than driving a car
【答案】16. F17. E18. G19. B20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，环境保护之“3R原则——节约、再利用和回收”，告知人们如何保护我们唯一赖以生存的家园。
【16题详解】
设空位于段中。根据上文中的“Pollutants can come from garbage that isn’t recycled. (污染物可以来源于没有被回收的垃圾。)”和下文中的“These pollutants can make us and animals very sick. (这些污染物会使人类和动物生重病。)”可知，这里继续陈述污染的来源。所以选择项F“Pollution can also be caused by smoke and exhaust (废气)in the air and chemicals we put in the water(空气中的烟雾和废气以及我们在水中放入的化学物质也会造成污染)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
设空处位于段尾。根据上文“Is there something you can do about it ? There sure is.(你能做点什么吗?肯定可以。)”以及下文三段分述的内容可知，此句对下文起到了提纲挈领的作用，提出在日常生活中采取何种措施来保护地球。所以选择项E“You can help by “reducing”, “reusing” and “recycling”(你可以通过“减少”、“再利用”和“回收”来帮助它们)” 符合上下文语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
设空位于段中。根据下文中的“and even using a cloth towel rather than a paper towel when you spill something in the kitchen can help our planet.(甚至当你在厨房里洒东西时用毛巾而不是纸巾都可以帮助我们的地球。)”可推测，设空处应为与“and”并列的v-ing形式作为“can help our planet”的主语。即通过减少使用汽车和纸巾来保护环境。结合选项Walking or riding a bike rather than driving a car的结构可推知，所以选择项G“Walking or riding a bike rather than driving a car (走路或骑自行车而不是开车)” 符合上下文语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
设空位于段尾。根据本段分述的主要内容为“Reusing(再利用)”。根据前文“That is reusing. Clothes you have grown out of can be donated for others to wear. A plastic cup you drank out of can be cleaned and used to store small toys in your room.(这就是再利用。你穿不下的衣服可以捐赠给别人穿。你用的塑料杯可以清洗干净，用来在你的房间里存放小玩具。)”可知，衣服、塑料杯和小玩具等物品都可以再次利用。所以选择项B“Many of the items that are thrown away could be reused (许多被丢弃的物品可以被重复使用)” 符合上下文语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
设空处位于段首，为本段主旨句。根据本段分述的主要内容“recycling(回收)”并结合后文“Look on the bottom of plastic cups and containers. If you see a recyclable symbol, you can recycle the item. Newspapers, school papers, even glass jars and bottles can be recycled. Most neighborhoods have garbage trucks that just pick up recyclable items. Ask your parents if there is one in your area and use it.(看看塑料杯子和容器的底部。如果你看到一个可回收的符号，你就可以回收这件物品。报纸，校报，甚至玻璃罐子和瓶子都可以回收。大多数社区都有垃圾车，专门捡拾可回收物品。问问你的父母在你所在的地区是否有，然后使用它。)”可知，很多东西都可以回收利用。所以选择项C“Countless things can be recycled (无数的东西都可以回收利用)” 符合上下文语境。故选C。

Most people are talking especially about snow camping when they mention winter camping.
____37____ In areas with snow, campers can go skiing, climbing, or ice skating. And some people enjoy creating fun things from snow, or just horsing around in the snow. And a camping trip often requires hiking, although campers generally travel less far than they do in the summer.
There are many well-known places suitable for camping. Throughout the year, these places usually attract more campers in the summer. So, it can be more crowded in this season. Campers who don’t like a crowded place can instead choose to go camping there in the winter. ____38____

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冬季露营的一些活动以及需要准备的东西。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Nowadays, people are often very busy, working hard almost day and night. For a better life, many people think it’s worth it.(现在，人们经常很忙，几乎没日没夜地努力工作。为了更好的生活，很多人觉得值得。)”以及下文的“Undoubtedly, people need spare time to be free and do fun things, like winter camping.(毫无疑问，人们需要空闲时间来做一些有趣的事情，比如冬季露营。)”可知，前文将人们经常没日没夜的工作，而后文则说人们需要空闲时间来放松，因此可知，空处与前文是转折关系，引出下文内容，故E项“But not enough relaxation may be bad for health.(但是没有足够的放松可能对健康有害。)”符合语意。故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据后文“In areas with snow, campers can go skiing, climbing, or ice skating.(在有雪的地区，露营者可以去滑雪、爬山或滑冰。)”可知，此处讲述的是冬季露营可以进行的活动，因此空处作为开头句，要引出空处后的内容，故G项“Like summer camping, winter camping offers many activities.(像夏季露营一样，冬季露营提供许多活动.)”引出下文的冬季露营的各种活动，符合语意。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“So, it can be more crowded in this season. Campers who don’t like a crowded place can instead choose to go camping there in the winter.(所以，在这个季节会更拥挤。不喜欢拥挤的地方的露营者可以选择在冬天去那里露营。)”可知，夏季露营人多，会很拥挤，因此冬季露营是好选择，没那么拥挤，故B项“It can give them more peace.(这能给他们更多的安宁。)”是对上文内容的总结。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Winter campers should be sure that they have clothes which can keep them warm.(冬令营员应该确保他们有保暖的衣服。)”可知，此处讲的是去冬季露营要做好准备，首先就是保暖工作做好，因此D项“Winter campers also need sleeping bags.(冬季露营者也需要睡袋。)”是对前文内容的延伸，符合语意。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“While winter camping can be quite fun, the colder weather can make a camping trip more dangerous.(虽然冬季露营很有趣，但是寒冷的天气会让露营变得更加危险。)”可知，此处讲述冬季露营也具有危险性，因此需要做好充分准备，故F项“So it’s important to fully prepare for winter camping.(所以充分准备冬季露营很重要。)”与前文是因果关系，符合语意。故选F项。

There are many friends that will come into your life-some will gradually lose touch, some will be getting closer, and some you will actively choose not to be friends with.____36____But your old friends seem to stick around, and no matter how near or far they are, they continue to be a part of your life.
From old friends we learn how much we grow. ____37____ They encourage us to do better and even they force us to do better. We know that if we’re happy with who we’ve become, they may play a role in that process.
The sense of freedom that comes with old friends is new friends failing to bring. You don’t need to make a good impression with people who know you well. ____38____ The youth is often filled with many playful moments and careless choices. There is a vivid recollection of difficult periods that you have been through.

If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. ____16____ , creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?
Why does a mosquito bite itch?
When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva (唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. ____17____ . It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.
What helps resist the urge to scratch?
“Don’t scratch” is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames (发炎) the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. “ ____18____ ,” warned Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.
Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedy (疗法). Choose what’s right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. ____19____ .
____20____
Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, Vosshall said. If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately.
A. When to seek medical attention?
B. What to do with a mosquito bite?
CIt’s not the bite that causes the itch
D. The more you scratch, the more they itch
E. The little red bumps swell up almost immediately
F. Scratching can cause secondary infections and prolong the irritation
G. In fact, the best remedy to fight the itch is to prevent a bite in the first place
【答案】16. E17. C18. F19. G20. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要分析了为什么蚊子叮咬会痒、如何抵制抓挠的冲动以及何时就医。
【16题详解】
根据下文“creating an itch (痒) that once you start scratching only seems to get worse(产生一种瘙痒感，一旦你开始抓挠，似乎只会变得更严重)”可知，下文是空格处的结果状语。E项“The little red bumps swell up almost immediately.(这些小红肿几乎立即膨胀起来)”承接上文说明蚊子叮咬后的反应，又可以导致下文“抓挠只会变得更严重”的结果，符合文意。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Why does a mosquito bite itch?(为什么蚊子叮咬会痒？)”可知，本段主要讲述为什么蚊子叮咬会痒。根据下文“It’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight.(实际上，这是身体对它试图对抗的外来蚊子蛋白质的反应)”中的“actually”推知，空处陈述人们大都认为叮咬会痒的原因——蚊子的叮咬。空格C项“It’s not the bite that causes the itch.(瘙痒不是由咬引起的)”，符合文意。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.(他补充道，在极端情况下，人们会给自己留下疤痕)”可知，上文应阐述瘙痒产生的一般后果。F项“Scratching can cause secondary infections and prolong the irritation.(搔痒可能会导致继发感染并延长刺激时间)”，符合文意。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“There is no scientific evidence these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects.(没有科学证据表明这些药物有效，它们可以有自己的预防措施或副作用)”可知，没有科学证据表明止痒霜有效，且可能有副作用。由此推知，下文应提及对抗瘙痒的有效方法。G项“In fact, the best remedy to fight the itch is to prevent a bite in the first place(事实上，对抗瘙痒的最好方法是首先防止被咬)”，符合文意。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据本文结构可知，空格处是本段的小标题。根据下文“If you experience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble, you should seek medical attention immediately.(如果出现呼吸困难等严重症状，应立即就医)”可知，本段主要围绕“就医”展开论述，且应是一个问句。A项“When to seek medical attention?（何时就诊？）”，符合文意。故选A。

【16题详解】
根据前文“Stress can improve your work performance, think more quickly and more efficiently. ”（压力可以提高你的工作表现，思考更快更有效率。）提到了压力在生活中带给我们的好处。下文“These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance. ”（这些高水平的压力和焦虑对你的心理健康和表现都有害。）讲到了压力和焦虑过大会对健康带来害处。所以空白处应为承上启下的作用。与前文表示转折，开启下文的话题，即压力有时还是会对健康带来害处的。选项E.“That being said, sometimes stress can turn into anxiety, which is overwhelming.”（话虽如此，有时候压力会转化为焦虑，这是不可抗拒的。）与文意相符，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Simply being aware of what is causing your anxiety can help to lessen the effects. Try to take some time to reflect on what could be causing your anxiety.”（只要知道是什么引起你的焦虑，可以帮助减轻影响。花点时间想想是什么导致了你的焦虑。）说明了找到引起焦虑的原因可以帮助减轻其带来的影响。所以下文应该陈述一旦找到焦虑的原因后，会带来什么结果。选项D.“Once you address the causes, it puts you in a better position to treat it.”（一旦你解决了病因，你就能更好地治疗它。）与前文逻辑一致，符合题意，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据前文“For example, if you're someone that tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, you might experience higher levels of exam anxiety.”（例如，如果你是一个有点完美主义的人，你可能会经历更高程度的考试焦虑。）列举了会带来更大焦虑的一个情景，因而下文应该承接前文讲述这种焦虑对你而言的意义。选项G.“This often means you set yourself up for failure or disappointment, due to the fear of never feeling ‘good enough’.”（这通常意味着你将自己置于失败或失望之中，因为你害怕自己永远不会觉得“足够好”。）符号逻辑，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Most of the time, the key to reducing exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended. ”（大多数时候，减少考试焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备。早点开始复习。通常建议在考试前6周开始。）提到了减少焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备，同时列举了两个具体的方法。下文“Take enough time to do yourself justice.”（给自己足够的时间来审视自己。）说明我们要根据自己的实际情形来安排。所以空白处应该讲述充分准备也是分情况而定的。选项F.“But this can change depending on where you feel you are in your studies and the study level.”（但这可能会因为你在学习中的感觉和学习水平而改变。）与文意相符，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out long before you even get the chance to sit the exam.

TVs can be recycled, and while the process may involve some legwork, it’s often worth the trouble compared with the alternative. An unwanted TV can feel like an albatross(沉的负担)around your neck especially if it’s an old one, which tends to be heavier and bulkier than newer TVs.
____16____ If the TV still works, the best option may be to sell or donate it rather than skipping ahead to recycling. If it doesn’t work, though, or if you have difficulty finding someone who wants it, you still have other environmentally responsible options.
Like many electronic devices, TVs contain a variety of materials such as plastic, heavy metals, and other toxins that can pose a pollution risk if not dealt with properly. ____17____ Even if you face no legal consequences for tossing a TV into the trash, however, there are also practical and ethical reasons why recycling is a better decision.
____18____ It is a good idea to check if your local recycling or waste-management authority accepts e-waste in some form, like special pickup days or drop-off events; just don’t expect it to be quite as easy as putting out your weekly paper and plastic recycling.
While some electronic devices like cell phones are commonly free to recycle, be ready to pay a fee for TV recycling. That might seem unfair: You’re giving away a TV full of useful materials to be recycled and reused, so why should you have to pay anything? ____19____
____20____ If the TV especially large or heavy, consider asking someone to help you carry it.
A. TVs contain both potentially harmful and potentially valuable materials.
B. Recycling of TVs and other e-waste is required by law in 25 U. S. states.
C. TVs may be recyclable, but that doesn’t mean they can go directly into your recycling bin.
D. Recycling a TV often means physically transporting it somewhere, which is tiring and needs cooperation.
E. Combined with the bulky size and heavy weight of many TVs, this adds expense to the recycling process.
F. Yet there are a few ways to dispose of a TV, depending largely on the TV’s condition and your location.
G. When TVs first arrive at a recycling center, they’re often checked to see if they can be repaired and reused.
【答案】16. F17. B18. C19. E20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本篇文章介绍了电视回收利用时应该注意的事项。
【16题详解】
根据“If the TV still works, the best option may be to sell or donate it rather than skipping ahead to recycling. If it doesn’t work, though, or if you have difficulty finding someone who wants it, you still have other environmentally responsible options.(如果电视还能用，最好的选择可能是卖掉或捐献，而不是跳到回收利用。然而，如果它不起作用，或者你很难找到想要它的人，你仍然有其他对环境负责的选择)”可知，在对电视回收利用之前，需要根据电视的情况以及你的所处环境来进行判断。F项“然而，有几种处理电视的方法，主要取决于电视的状况和您的位置”符合语境。F项中“depending largely on the TV’s condition and your location”和后面的语境项呼应。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据“Even if you face no legal consequences for tossing a TV into the trash, however, there are also practical and ethical reasons why recycling is a better decision.(然而，即使你把电视扔进垃圾桶没有法律后果，回收利用是一个更好的决定也有现实和道德的原因)”可知，空中应该提到有法律规定要对电视进行回收利用。B项“美国25个州的法律要求回收电视和其他电子垃圾”，B项中的“by law”和后面的“no legal”相呼应。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据“It is a good idea to check if your local recycling or waste-management authority accepts e-waste in some form, like special pickup days or drop-off events; (最好检查一下您当地的回收或废物管理机构是否以某种形式接受电子废物，如特殊的提货日或卸货活动)”可知，本段主要提到在对电视进行回收利用前要检查好是否电视能够直接进入回收站。C项“电视可能是可回收的，但这并不意味着它们可以直接进入回收站”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据“While some electronic devices like cell phones are commonly free to recycle, be ready to pay a fee for TV recycling. (虽然手机等一些电子设备通常是免费回收的，但要准备好为电视回收支付费用)”可知，本段主要说明有时电视回收是需要付一定的费用的，所以空处需要说明付费的原因。E项“因为许多电视机体积大、重量重，这增加了回收过程的费用”符合语境。而且E项中的“expense”和前文中的“pay a fee ”相呼应。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据“If the TV especially large or heavy, consider asking someone to help you carry it.(如果电视机特别大或很重，考虑请人帮你搬)”可知，本段主要提醒电视在回收的过程中需要人力运送，因为很累所以需要合作。D项“回收电视机通常意味着将其实际运送到某处，这很累，需要合作”符合语境。而且D项中的“needs cooperation”和下文中的“asking someone to help you carry it”相呼应。故选D。

According to a common saying, “Honesty is the best policy.” ___16___ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they’re doing it. But despite all this, honesty really is worth the effort.
One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. ___17___
Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. ___18___ But if you commit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you.
Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them. And a lie about someone else could destroy that person’s reputation. On a personal level, if your friends find out you lied to them, their feeling will be hurt. They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them. In contrast, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty. ___19___ Business deals, friendships, family and romantic relationships all depend on trust
___20___ Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships.
A. This will help you in every area of your life.
B. But in daily life, honesty can be difficult.
C. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk?
D. We will get others’ respect and appreciation if telling the truth0
EBeing honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.
F. Honesty, however, doesn’t mean you have to say everything in your mind.
G. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember.

The Spotlight Effect
Have you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed.
36 We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. 37 In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.
The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. 38
The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. 39 If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.
Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. 40 If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.

A. However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.
B. That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.
C. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.
D. The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.
E. What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.
F. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
G. It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.

More and more people enjoy listening to music while they work，believing that music helps boost creativity．But an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpoint． 36
To come to their conclusions，researchers had participants complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room． 37 They found that background musicsignificantly weakened the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity．The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library，but found that such noises had no impact on subjects’ creativity．
The tasks were simple word games． 38 Then，they were asked to find a single word that could be combined with the three to form a common phrase or word．The single word，in this case，would be “sun”(sunshine，sunflower，etc.)．Participants completed the tasks either in a quiet room or while listening to different types of music．
“We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions．”says Dr．McLatchie．Dr．McLatchie with his colleagues concludes that music disturbs the verbal working memory of the brain． 39 Also，as far as the library background noises have seemingly no effect，the researchers believe that was the case because library noises create a“steadystate” environment that doesn’t affect concentration．
“ 40 Instead，they demonstrate music，regardless of its types，consistently interrupts creative performance in problem solving，”the study reads．
A．And this in turn blocks creativity．
B．First，all participants spoke out three words of their favorite music．
C．Then again，they were tested while music was played in the background．
D．Prior to the task，the participants were not exposed to the music they would listen．
E．For example，participants were given three words，such as dress，shine，and flower．
F．To conclude，the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity．
G．Psychologists from several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity．
本文是说明文，人们喜欢在有音乐的背景下工作。研究人员针对这个现象展开研究，研究表明，音乐实际上会干扰人们解决问题的创造性。
36．G前文说一项研究挑战了前面提到的观点，G项提出这个研究的成果：音乐会阻挠人们的创造性。
37．C前文说研究人员要求参与实验者在安静的环境中完成指定的任务，本项说，”然后，他们又在有背景音乐的环境中接受测试”，这与前文形成一个完整的信息链。
38．E本项的”给参与测试者三个单词”与前文的”简单的单词游戏”和下文的The single word，in this case，would be “sun”(sunshine，sunflower，etc.)组成一个完整的信息链，故选E。
39．A前文说背景音乐会”干扰”大脑的记忆，本项的”继而阻碍创造性”与前文内容呼应。
40．F本项的关键信息”挑战了音乐有助于创造性的这个传统观念”与下文内容构成对比。下文说音乐会打断解决问题的创造性思维。

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ___36___ And this positive emotion can be good for our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships.
One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions. Writing a “thank you” letter, for example, shifts our attention so that we focus on positive emotions. Even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. And this gets better with time. As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive(直觉的). ___37___
___38___ Studies prove gratitude can improve sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation(炎症) in people who have had heart problems.
Gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? ___39___ When shared, spoken or written gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships with family, partners, friends or even colleague. And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us.
Many studies show expressing gratitude benefits people a lot including the emotional, mental and physical health etc. ___40___ Let’s stop counting sheep or calorie and start counting our blessings instead.
A. So why not do so?
B. The simple answer is “yes”
C. We should form good habits in our daily work.
D. Gratitude can also make us feel good in our bodies.
E. The more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel.
F. How to describe the relationship between gratitude and complaint?
G. It’s a deeper appreciation for someone or something making us feel positive.

上文“Gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives?(感恩显然对我们有好处，但它对我们生活中的人也有好处吗？)”对感恩对身边的人是否有好处提出疑问。下文“When shared, spoken or written gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships with family, partners, friends or even colleague.
