（2022春·安徽·高二校联考期中）Develop Positive Relationships
One of the most profound experiences we can have in our lives is the connection we have with other human beings. Positive and supportive relationships will help us to feel healthier, happier, and more satisfied with our lives. ____26____
● Accept and celebrate differences.
____27____ Yet when we try to build relationships, we expect that people will think like we do. In this way, it is so much easier to create a friendly relationship. However, while we may find it initially (开始，最初) easier, the novelty of sameness soon would wear off. So accepting that we are all different is a great starting point.
● Listen effectively.
Listening is a crucial skill in boosting another person’s self-esteem. ____28____ In active listening, we are also genuinely interested in understanding what the other person is thinking, feeling, wanting, or what the message means, and we are active in checking out our understanding before we respond with our own new message.

In a world where time is of the essence, we don’t always have the time to give to our loved ones. Being present in the time you give to people is important. In other words, when you are with someone, you are truly with someone and not living in the past or worrying about the future. Devoting time, energy, and effort to building relationships is one of the most valuable life skills.
● Manage mobile technology.
By now, everyone has a mobile phone and many people have two or more. While they are a lifesaver in an emergency and an effective tool for communication, they also can be a complete distraction when people exhibit a lack of mobile phone etiquette (礼仪). ____30____
A．Give people your time.
B．We can perceive the world variously.
C．Active listening is the most useful listening skill.
D．Take time to develop your communication skills.

（2022春·河南南阳·高二统考期中）There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. Treated this way, you’re sure to feel hurt. ___31___
But I have to say that it’s partly your fault, isn’t it? You admit that you were “letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always think before we speak.
___32___
First, apologise to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games, you need to work together, and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. ___33___ Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. ___34___
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! ___35___ This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight, then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own, you’ll soon find everything works out.

Change your routine. ___36___ The first thing in the morning for you to do is to check your emails. Do you think you really need to do so? Is there a reason why teams always meet at a certain time? Start by questioning the way you’ve gotten used to doing things. ___37___
Don’t be serious with yourself. It’s important to take your work seriously, but that doesn’t mean you have to take yourself too seriously. Happiness matters. ___38___ So, allow yourself to have some laughs and some fun with friends at work from time to time.
Take a vacation. Just because you feel bored at work, that doesn’t mean you aren’t also super busy and maybe even stressed. Routine tasks can be both dull and stressful. Stress and tension can affect feelings. ___39___ Maybe you’d feel less bored at work after having a bit of time to relax yourself.
___40___ A really effective way to add a little freshness to your life is to devote yourself to learning something new every day. It doesn’t have to be something big, or something hard.

Despite these benefits, the study authors said that askers’ fears functioned like “barriers”, stopping them from making a request.

64．根据下文“Racers have to cover anywhere from 35 miles to almost 3,000 miles. The racecourse may be a straight stretch of road or a long series of roads across the country.(参赛者必须跑35英里到近3000英里的任何地方。比赛场可以是一段笔直的公路，也可以是一长串横穿全国的公路)”可知，此处介绍的是第三种比赛——自行车公路赛。由此可知，D. Road races are usually the longest cycling contests.(公路赛通常是最长的自行车比赛)符合题意。故选D。
65．根据上文“As cyclists become more experienced, they often join bicycling groups and become licensed racers. (随着骑自行车的人越来越有经验，他们经常加入自行车团体，成为有执照的车手)”及常识可知，当自行车手有很多经验，而且有了执照后，他们就可以参加各种比赛了。可知，E. Then they can enter special races all over the country.(然后他们可以参加全国各地的特殊比赛)符合题意。故选E。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何把消极的想法转换成积极的方法。
66．根据上文“If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be tough to think positive thoughts. It is important to turn those negative thoughts to something positive when we are stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we think that “bad things” keep happening to us.(如果你觉得生活对你来说已经糟到不能再糟了，你就很难去想一些积极的事情。当我们感到压力、沮丧或处于消极的精神状态时，因为我们认为“坏事”总是发生在我们身上，把这些消极的想法转化为积极的东西是很重要的)”可知，上文提到把这些消极的想法转化为积极的东西是很重要的，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这么做的原因：如果我们不这样做，我们只会招来更多的“坏事”。故D选项“如果我们不这样做，我们只会招来更多的‘坏事’”符合语境，故选D。
67．根据上文“It is often very hard to think positively when so many things are negative, but I can assure you that someone somewhere is worse off than you.(当很多事情都是消极的时候，我们很难积极地思考，但我可以向你保证，在某个地方，有人的情况比你更糟)”和下文“If you start with one small, positive step and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive position: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities.(如果你从一个积极的小步骤开始，并在一天中重复它，你将开始进入一个更积极的位置：积极的想法、感觉和机会)”可知，虽然很难开始积极思考，但可以从最小的步骤开始。故F选项“我们可以从最小的步骤开始，选择不同的思考方式”符合语境，故选F。
68．根据后文“when you see the gas prices going up.(当你看到汽油价格上涨时)”可知，后文提到了汽油价格上涨，可推测空处与交通出行有关，故G选项“说:‘我很高兴我有一辆可以出行的交通工具。’”符合语境，故选G。
69．根据后文“if you are having health problems: “I really do appreciate my eyes that see, my ears that hear, my mouth that tastes, my legs that walk, my arms that lift, my hands that write, my mind that thinks, my knees that bend and my tongue that talks.” The possibilities here are endless: insert (插入) what does work for you and feel good about it!(如果你有健康问题：“我真的很感激我的眼睛还能看，我的耳朵还能听，我的嘴还能品尝，我的腿还能走路，我的双臂还能抬起，我的双手还能写字，我的头脑还能思考，我的膝盖还能弯曲，我的舌头还能说话。”这里的可能性是无穷无尽的：插入对你有用的东西，并感觉良好！)”可知，后文的例子说明要在身体健康有问题时，对仍然可以使用的器官心存感激。故A选项“对还能运转的器官心存感激”符合语境，故选A。
70．根据上文“• Write down what you’re grateful for each day.(•写下你每天感激的事情)”以及后文“when you’re feeling really down. This will help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find that your list will get longer and longer.(当你感觉很沮丧的时候。这将有助于提升你的精神。如果你经常这样做，你会发现你的清单会越来越长)”可知，上文提到写下感激的事情，后文则提到感觉沮丧，可推测本句是在说明阅读以前写的感激的事情。故B选项“读你以前写的东西”符合语境，故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了锻炼会带来新的受伤风险，但通过正确的方法，可以降低受伤风险，获得益处。
71．上文“Some people are unwilling to exercise for fear of injury. (有些人因为害怕受伤而不愿意锻炼)”讲人们对锻炼会受伤的恐惧，下文“There are estimated 8.6 million sports-related injuries each year in America. (据估计，美国每年有860万人因运动受伤)”讲这种恐惧是有事实依据的。由此可知，人们的担心是有理可循的。A选项“这些恐惧是基于事实的。”切题。故选A项。
72．下文“One very common issue in runners is knee pain, which is often called “runner’s knee.”(跑步者的一个非常常见的问题是膝盖疼痛，这通常被称为“跑步膝”)”和“Another common overuse injury among runners is stress fractures (骨折). (在跑步者中，另一种常见的过度使用损伤是应力性骨折)”推知，跑步主要会造成两种伤害，G选项“跑步者可能会遇到与过度使用有关的两种主要损伤。”切题。故选G项。
73．由上文“Both of these injuries tend to happen because runners did something out of the ordinary compared to what they were trained to do. Take rest days, build up your mileage (里程) gradually and combine regular strength training. (这两种伤害都会发生，因为跑步者所做的事情与他们所接受的训练不同。休息几天，逐步增加里程数，并结合常规力量训练)”可知，跑步可能会有伤害，但通过正确合理的运动方式，伤害会降低，D选项“因此，伤害自己的风险会降低。”与上文是因果关系，讲明正确合理运动方式产生的好的结果——降低伤害的风险。故选D项。
74．由上文“As with other injuries, the risk increases toward the end of a workout. It’s very essential to listen to your body. (与其他损伤一样，在训练结束时，风险会增加。倾听你的身体是非常重要的)”可知，避免受伤的方法之一就是倾听你的身体，承接上文，F选项“及时调整，尤其是当疲劳开始影响你的状态时。”讲明如发现自己身体不对劲之后你应该采取的策略——调整运动量或方式。故选F项。
75．根据上文“Exercise can put someone at risk of injury. (运动会使人有受伤的危险)”和下文“There should be a balance between pushing yourself to get better and pushing yourself toward an injury. So encourage yourself to do something that you are confident in doing. (应该在促使自己变得更好和促使自己受伤之间取得平衡。所以鼓励自己做一些你有信心做的事情)”可知，虽然运动有让人受伤的风险，但还是要运动，关键是做好平衡。E选项“但不锻炼会使人面临健康不佳的风险。”切题。故选E项。
