Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. ____1____ But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits.

Leah Plunkett, assistant dean for learning experience and technology at Harvard Law School said, “In many cases, the kids who wind up in ‘commercial sharenting’ are too young to understand what’s going on. ____35____ If there is content going out about the children when they are three years old, they may be pretty uncomfortable with it when they are13.

It was Jennifer Williams’s mother who got her interested in books.

To Williams, the solution was simple: Give kids books. In 2017 she gave away 900 used children’s books over three days. ____52____ “I was like, ‘Anybody could do that,’”she said. “I wanted to do something bigger.”
So she set a new goal for herself: ____53____ It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook :“Don’t complain in the seats at a sports ground if you aren’t willing to work hard out on the field.”
So she got to work, first by persuading friends to donate books or money to buy books. ____54____ As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools - free of charge - and also supplies books to little free libraries.
In the four years she’s been doing all this, the Book Lady , has given away more than 78, 000 books - only 922, 000 more to reach her goal! ____55____ Because it’s extremely important for kids to have more books to choose from while reading.

Start with a smile
It sounds so simple, but a smile is powerful for you to connect with other people. Big smiles make people think you are warm and confident. People are always more willing to listen to your point of view if they like you.____57____
Nod your head
If you want people to say “yes” to you, get them nodding in agreement even before you ask a question. If you nod at people, they will feel the urge (强烈的欲望) to do it back. Start by nodding when they talk, as if you’re agreeing with their statements (说法) .____58____When they are already nodding, they are much more likely to start agreeing with you.
Stand up
If you are standing up while other people you are talking to are sitting, you will gain the upper hand at once.____59____It is important to stand over them, or to learn in so much that they feel uncomfortable.
Lean in
____60____If other people lean or step back, you have certainly shown that you are in control. If you want to be someone who has influence and persuasion, you need people to like you, not to be scared of you.

Small talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. ____61____ Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers.
Many people find these small conversations about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. ____62____They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn't do anything. They consider small talk not important.
____63____ These exchanges can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don't know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life. Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to know that person better-or not. Let's say you make small talk with someone at a party. ____64____You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.

Adele’s new album, “30”, is finally available. Last month, hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single, “Easy On Me.” This song arouses feelings not easily put into words, but we can probably agree it is a sad song. ___66___ Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.
Let’s start with a biological theory. When we experience real-life loss, or empathize (体会) with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. ___67___ They do so by making us feel calmed and supported. Feeling Adele’s pain, or recalling our own, may cause such chemical changes within us.
Psychologically, a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they profoundly move us. Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people. Indeed, when we have listened to “30”, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. ___68___And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers feelings of comfort and belonging.
___69___ Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make. Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them. This is what much sad art does. It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning. As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it, someone who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
Ultimately, we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall, reflect, or belong. They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: ___70___
A．You are not alone in your pain.
B．Music speaks louder than words.
C．These help us to tackle loss and pain.
D．We can also think at the spiritual level.

Clarify the team expectations so everyone is on the same page. _____87_____ It’s likely that each teammate has a different idea about what’s expected of them, as well as what everyone else needs to be doing. It’s essential that the team discuss these expectations and agree on one universal list of expectations that everyone will follow.
_____88_____ No one likes a teammate who barely contributes to the project. Take on an equal part of the work, and speak up if you realize you aren’t doing your fair share.

Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. ____91____
The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events　(such as academics and physical attractiveness). ____92____ As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others.
Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. ____93____ Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better.
____94____ If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good.
Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others. ____95____ Doing so reminds us to be fully aware of who we are.
A．That may pose potential dangers.
B．Unfortunately, he is no exception.
C．When our self-worth depends on those, it’s unstable.
D．Let’s cite some examples to further demonstrate that.
E．Let’s dive into the cause to learn more about self-worth.
F．Actually, he’s always been labeled as “other people’s child”.
G．Instead, learn to base your self-worth on internal contingencies like virtues and faiths.

How to Have an Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance, and demonstrating an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships. ______96______The following tips help foster your ability to fascinate others.
lLaugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you’re comfortable in your skin. A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. ______97______ It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but don’t ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
lSpeak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. ______98______ For instance, if you don’t like your friend’s shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it’s ugly.”
l______99______ If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you’ll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel drained.
lHave confidence in your body. You don’t have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place posters around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body. _______100_______
A．Speak in a positive way.
B．Make laughing a priority.
C．Remember, there is a time and place for humor.
D．There is difference between being frank and rude, though.
E．Focus on these rather than what you’re self-conscious about.
F．Actually, developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach.
G．But having charming appearance is only skin-deep and far from enough.

5G mobile technology has officially begun rolling out across the globe, which indicates a dynamic acceleration (加速) in our world of connectivity. It promotes operational cooperation tourism hasn't experienced before. ___101___ This is perceived from both the way the industry operates and the side of the traveler.
___102___ It's expected to offer organizations a wireless network that transforms the way people and machines use data. Unlike previous network generations, 5G is now being seen as not just a consumer platform, but a primary communications platform that can also provide cloud connectivity and edge processing that can offer real-time business insights and automated responses, and eventually integrate the billions of internet of things devices and data that are available.
As travel companies have transformed their operations with new digital systems, their focus has moved from the technology itself to the improved business outcomes and enhanced guest and passenger experiences driven by the technology. ___103___ With advanced connectivity speeds and low latency (延时), guests can share their personal data to receive custom recommendations from travel companies in real time that should provide meaningful experiences. ___104___ For example, guests can involve themselves in viewing rooms and hotel facilities, or preview local attractions as they plan their trips.
To prepare to roll out this new technology, travel companies should ensure they have a thorough understanding of their guests’ expectations on what makes a first-rank travel experience. ___105___
A．It also transforms the travel experience.
B．5G's capabilities can support that change.

D．However, people haven't got well prepared for the 5G era.

Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important?
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. ____106____ It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
____107____. When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. ___108___. This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. ___109___.
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. ___110___. In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A．These are its major benefits.
B．Children love to draw, sing, and dance.
C．Art and human history go hand-in-hand
D．How does it have an impact on our life?
E．It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
F．It can help people handle both their past and present problems.
G．Similarly, future generations will learn about our current events by the art we leave behind.

The vast majority of parents expect their children to grow up to be healthy, happy, and productive members of society. ____111____ If we don’t give parenting everything we’ve got, our kids will wind up unemployed, living in our basements, and there will be no one to blame but ourselves. That’s what I like to call the “perfect parent myth”.
The standards of perfection for parents these days are extremely high. Perfect parenting expectations begin with a drug free natural birth. Once our young are born we must breastfeed each baby for years. If we can’t breasted, we must at least feed on demand. ____112____ Let’s also not forget to organize our children’s days so they are engaged in educational pursuits in case they fall behind the curve (弯道). We must be involved in every aspect of our children’s schools. There is no free time for the perfect parent. ____113____
These standards are unreasonable. They’re also crazy. Parents can’t be perfect. Why? Because we’re human and so are our children. ____114____They are predictable and when they are unruly we can shut them down. Parenting is nothing like that.
____115____But, by the parent being less than perfect, the child will need to adapt and develop skills to overcome little disappointments. There is flexibility and room for real-life mistakes and limitations to our parenting abilities.
A．We must make our own baby food.
B．They are pushing themselves too far.
C．Robots would be much easier to parent.
D．There is only unlimited devotion to our children.
E．A good enough parent meets the needs of their children.
F．Parents have no enough time to live up to these high standards.
G．To meet those goals, parents are told that they must spare no effort.

“Can you say mama? Or dada?” If you’ve spent any time around a baby, chances are you’ve heard or said things like these. ____116____ For instance, baby talk, “parentese” (父母语), or, according to development specialists, child-directed speech. Although this kind of small talk might seem meaningless, the conversations are important.
Baby talk is an important piece of speech and language development. Studies show that when babies are exposed to such talk every day throughout their first year of life, they develop stronger vocabularies than other kids. And the little ones are eager for it. ____117____ So when parents apply it, they help their babies learn more words and promote social interaction.
Child-directed speech wasn’t always valued. Before the middle of the 20th century, researchers largely ignored it as a subject of study. Until the early 1990s, many developmental psychologists and linguists believed that without any help, we would learn how to speak and form complete sentences by ourselves. ____118____
But over the past few decades, numerous studies have found that throughout their first year of life, when babies are regularly exposed to such talk in addition to normal speech, they process, learn, and remember words presented to them in singsong tones (语调) better. One reason may have to do with how babies interact with the world. ____119____ However, but their ears perk up (竖起来) when a caregiver makes that singsong tone.
____120____ In a 2020 study, researchers found that bat parents also used a different tone to communicate with their babies. Baby talk has also been observed in a few other species like squirrel monkeys.
A．Baby talk tends to be spoken at a slower rate.
B．Humans aren’t the only ones that use baby talk.
C．They tend to ignore adult conversations and other background noises.
D．Luckily, parents can be taught methods to improve their parentese skills.
E．Some doctors even advised parents to avoid using baby talk, thinking it too silly.
F．The distinct tone of parentese catches their attention, allowing them to benefit from it.
G．The singsong tone we switch to when interacting with young children can have many names.

Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone? Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue? You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended? What is going on here? Is your memory failing?
It’s not. ____121____Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. ____122____ Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget?
____123____Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you're exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus(刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. ____124____Why does this happen? The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation(激活)of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. ____125____
A．One necessary factor is attention.
B．It’s doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
C．These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D．Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t.
E．You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F．It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G．Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.

Robots have been taking our jobs since the 1960s. However, humans haven’t become completely redundant (多余的) because these robots may be very efficient but they’re also kind of stupid. They do not think. They just act in very accurate but very limited ways. ___126___. They do the jobs the machines can’t do and fix them when they get stuck.
___127___. This change will be so significant that it will create a new industrial revolution.
The era (时代) of “Industry 4.0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the abilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smart robots with better sensing and communication abilities. ___128___.
___129___. Today’s industrial artificial intelligence operates at a narrow level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.
___130___. Similar to big data analysis, it processes large quantities of data in real time to make decisions about what is the best action to take. The difference is that the machine learns from the data so it can improve its decision-making. A perfect example of deep learning was presented by Google’s Alpha-Go software, which taught itself to beat the world’s greatest Go (围棋) players.
A．Humans are still needed to work around robots
B．But there is still some way to go
C．While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us
D．What’s coming next is known as “deep learning”
E．It comes down to the question of what a robot really is
F．But this is all set to change, thanks to a new wave of smarter machines that can adapt to multiple tasks
G．They can adapt to different tasks, and even organize their work to meet demands without the input of humans

Playing sports is a lot of fun. But getting hurt is unavoidable. ____131____
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets(头盔)are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you’re playing football, baseball and softball, biking and so on.
Warm up.
____132____ Doing some stretching exercises can get you prepared to play sports. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them--at least most of the time.____133____ When players know the rules of the games, fewer injuries will happen. For example，you know that in football you can’t come from behind, crash into a player's legs and steal the ball. It's legal-and safer-to go after the ball rather than the player.
____134____
Some rules have nothing to do with scoring points, They are just about protecting other people. For example, a diver would make sure that the pool is clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else.
____135____
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may get right back to the game even you’re injured. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury.
A．Watch out for others.
B．Don’t do too much exercise.
C．It’s the same way with sports.
D．Don't play when you’re injured.

G．Take these steps to prevent injuries so that you can stay in the game.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. _____136_____Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.
___137___ As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: _____138_____
Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. ____139____ However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.
What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being. ____140____ These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.
A．Art therapy is a double-edged sword.
B．Thus, the many benefits of creative self-expression are lost.
C．They develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems.
D．But, obviously, releasing their anger in this way isn't a good choice.
E．Art therapy, in its own ways, can influence a range of human functioning.
F．It can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well-being.
G．However, with art therapists’ help, their energy could be changed into creative products.

For a long time, sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and in shape, but their importance goes much further.
From a social standpoint, sports are a powerful tool that brings people together and creates a sense of community. _____141_____ As an international student, playing pick-up basketball at the gym was the fastest and easiest way to make friends.
As a student, I had very challenging classes and occasionally had to deal with bad homework or midterm grades. I learned that I am not always going to get the results that I want, but no matter what, I have to persevere and not give up. _____142_____
In addition to that, exercising is a great way to get out of the stressful college life that is all about homework, presentations, and group projects. _____143_____ I personally think that I would go crazy without going to the gym at least three times a week.
The reason most students do not play sports is because they feel lazy about it and don't have the energy for it. _____144_____ As a matter of fact, exercise pumps more oxygen through your blood and makes your entire system more active.
_____145_____ Besides just being fun, sports can help you perform better in school, relax more and worry less, deal with setbacks, work better with others and increase your energy.
A．To sum up, playing college sports has some serious benefits.
B．In short, playing sports can help students become more energetic.
C．They helped me get on very well with my teachers and classmates.
D．In fact, playing sports helps students relax and reduce their anxiety.
E．Sports gave me a positive attitude where I see falling as a way to learn.
F．They develop connections that bond together people from all walks of life.
G．However, the belief that the intense exercise will leave you exhausted is wrong.

How to Show emotion
If anyone has ever told you to “open up more” or “show some emotion” you may wonder what they really meant. It’s easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what we’re feeling from other people. ___146___. But if you can open up more to others, you’ll see how rewarding it is to connect on a deeper level.
___147___. Relax and think through your feelings as they come to you. Whenever you feel something, take a second to sit with what you’re feeling. Think about how you feel and let the emotion wash over you naturally.
Name your emotions as they come to you. Giving your feeling a name makes it easier to understand. Once you’re comfortable with a feeling. Give the emotion a name. Are you anxious about something? If you don’t feel anything particularly moving, are you bored or content? This process will make you more self-aware. ___148___ .
Maintain a journal for your feelings. One way to help you to open up emotionally to others is to keep a daily journal. ___149___ . Every day, write down a paragraph or two about your day and how it makes you feel. This will help you track your feeling over time and put you more in tune with yourself.
Engage in fun activities to share experiences with others. Do things you enjoy with people you love to share positive emotions.

【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。
81．根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。
82．从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。
83．根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。
84．根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号，所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了，不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足，A项符合，故选A项。
85．根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。良好的团队合作精神是一项基本技能，本文就如何提高团队合作技能提供了建议。
86．通读第一段，再根据下文第二、四、五段的首句“Clarify the team expectations so everyone is on the same page…Direct your concern toward the problem, not your teammates…Focus on the success of the group, not your personal success(明确团队期望，使每个人都达成共识……把你的关注点放在问题上，而不是你的队友……关注团队的成功，而不是个人的成功)”可知，本文首先阐述团队合作的重要性，下文中又列举了几个提高团队合作技能的方法，因此，D项“Our guide will show you how to boost your teamwork skills.(我们的指南将向您展示如何提高团队合作技能)”切题，该选项承接上文，统领下文，故选D项。
87．根据上一句“Clarify the team expectations so everyone is on the same page.(明确团队期望，让每个人都站在同一个角度)”和下一句“It’s likely that each teammate has a different idea about what’s expected of them, as well as what everyone else needs to be doing. It’s essential that the team discuss these expectations and agree on one universal list of expectations that everyone will follow.(很可能每个队友对他们的期望值以及其他人需要做的事情都有不同的想法。团队必须讨论这些期望，并就每个人都将遵循的普遍期望达成一致)”可知，队友之间的期望值可能不一致，团队必须就此讨论，并达成一致，因此，G项“This can include explaining the expectations or asking questions if you find them unclear(这可以包括解释期望，或者在发现不清楚时提问)”切题，该选项句意承上启下，与上下文意思连贯，故选G项。
88．根据下文“No one likes a teammate who barely contributes to the project. Take on an equal part of the work, and speak up if you realize you aren’t doing your fair share.(没有人喜欢对项目几乎没有贡献的队友。承担同等的工作，如果你意识到自己没有尽到应有的责任，就大声说出来)”可知，本段主要阐述自己作为团队中的一员，一定要承担和其他成员同等的工作，尽到相应的责任。因此，A项“Make sure you do an equal share of the work.(确保你所做的工作是平等的)”切题，该选项句意统领下文，是本段的主题句，且该选项中的“equal share”与下文中的“fair share”相呼应。故选A项。
89．根据上文“Direct your concern toward the problem, not your teammates. Don’t accuse or blame anyone on your team for causing the conflict, even if you believe they did.(把你的关注点放在问题上，而不是你的队友。不要指责或责怪你的团队中的任何人导致了冲突，即使你认为他们确实造成了冲突)”可知，F项“Instead, keep all of your comments focused on the issue and how your team can solve it.(相反，你的所有评论都要关注这个问题，以及你的团队如何解决这个问题)”切题，该选项句意与上文构成转折关系，进一步阐述了要把关注点放在问题上而不是你的队友。故选F项。
90．根据上文“Focus on the success of the group, not your personal success. When you’re on a team, everyone’s success depends on each member working toward a common goal. (关注团队的成功，而不是个人的成功。当你在一个团队中时，每个人的成功都取决于每个成员朝着一个共同的目标努力)”和下文“Keep your focus on your team’s success, and your own success will follow.(专注于团队的成功，你自己的成功也会随之而来)”可知，此处强调关注团队成功的重要性，因此，C项“”Treat the team’s accomplishments as a group success.(将小组的成就视为团队的成功) ”切题，该选项句意承上启下，切合文意，且选项中的“a group success”与上文中的“success of the group”相呼应，故选C项。
91．B 92．C 93．A 94．D 95．G

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件，如学术和外表吸引力，当我们的自我价值依赖于这些时，它是不稳定的且可能会带来潜在的危险。文章介绍了如何建立正确的自我价值感。
91．根据上文“When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities.(当Ken在高中的时候，他做得很好，有很强的成就感。然而，在他上大学的时候，他的成绩在和他一样有学习天赋的学生中并不是很突出，如果不是更好的话。他经常感到沮丧，远离人群和活动)”以及后文“The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events(such as academics and physical attractiveness).(文献普遍发现，我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件（如学术和外表吸引力）)”可知，上文提到了Ken因为不突出感到沮丧，后文则说许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件，可见Ken的情况并不是例外，是普遍存在的。故B选项“不幸的是，他也不例外。”符合语境，故选B。

93．根据上文“Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy.(显然，我们都想体验让我们感觉良好的事情。但当我们有偶然的自我价值时，我们可能会参与让我们感到有价值的活动，而避免让我们感到不值得的活动)”以及后文“Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better.(我们将努力避免失败，而不是努力实现目标。如果有一天我们失败了，我们可能会放弃目标，失去动力，或者找借口让自己感觉更好)”可知，上文提到我们会参加让我们感到有价值的活动，而避免让我们感到不值得的活动，故本句承接上文说明这一行为带来的结果：会带来潜在的危险。故A选项“这可能会带来潜在的危险。”符合语境，故选A。
94．根据后文“If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we're worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good.(如果我们的自我价值取决于工作上的成功，我们可能只会选择容易的工作。这样我们就永远不会失败，并确保我们永远知道自己是有价值的。或者，也许只有当我们的体重低于130磅时，我们才认为自己值得拥有。我们可能会吃得过少或养成不健康的饮食习惯，只是为了让自己感觉良好)”可知，后文主要通过一些例子来论证上文提到的“人们会参加让自己感到有价值的活动，而避免让自己感到不值得的活动”，故D选项“让我们引用一些例子来进一步证明这一点。”符合语境，故选D。
95．根据上文“Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others.(自我价值感是一个重要的心理构造，它不仅影响我们如何看待自己，而且对我们的心理健康和功能也有影响。所以，放弃寻求他人认可的想法)”可知，上文的建议是重视自我价值感，放弃寻求他人认可的想法，即本句与上文构成转折，指出“把你的自我价值建立在内在的偶发因素上”，故G选项“相反，学会把你的自我价值建立在内在的偶发因素上，比如美德和信仰。”符合语境，故选G。

99．根据下文“If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you’ll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. (如果你看到了让别人笑并让自己保持乐观的价值，你会成为一个更快乐的人，从而让别人被你吸引。)”可知，本段内容介绍的是笑在生活中的重要性，B项意为“把笑放在第一位。”选项能够概括段落主旨，笑在生活中对我们自己和他人都很重要，它会使你成为一个更快乐的人，从而让别人被你吸引。故选B。
100．根据上文“You don’t have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well.

(你不一定要有“完美的身体”才能自信。如果你穿着得体，举止得体，人们会更喜欢你。如果你需要一些激励，在镜子周围贴上海报，提醒自己你身体拥有的迷人的部位。)”可知，上文告诉我们不要过分关注外表，穿着得体，举止得体就好，多关注自己身体所拥有的迷人的部位，E项意为“关注这些，而不是你的自我意识。”选项能够承接上文，告诉我们多关注自己身体的优点，不要过分在意外表。故选E。

Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.（你的记忆不是一台摄像机，不是不间断地记录下你所接触到的每一种景象和声音。你只能记住你所关心的。因此，忘记别人说了什么或把车停在哪里的一个主要原因就是缺乏注意力）”分析了遗忘的原因是：缺乏注意力，A项“One necessary factor is attention.（一个必要的因素是注意力）”回答了上文的问题，也是下文的概括，承上启下，符合上下文连贯。故选A。

132．根据本段小标题“Warm up(热身)”可知，本段主要介绍了做热身运动的好处。下文“Doing some stretching exercises can get you prepared to play sports.(做一些伸展运动可以让你为运动做好准备。)”说了做一些热身运动的好处，E选项“去球场就开始运动不是一个好主意”切题，说明热身是必要的，引出下文对热身运动的好处的介绍。故选E项。
133．空前内容“Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them--at least most of the time.(交通灯有助于防止在道路上一起行驶的汽车相撞。 这是可行的，因为司机知道规则并遵守它们——至少大多数时候是这样。)”是以司机和交通规则为例介绍了规则的重要性，而下文“When players know the rules of the games, fewer injuries will happen.(当运动员知道比赛的规则时，就会少受伤。)”介绍比赛规则的重要性，由此可知该空起到承上启下的作用。C选项“体育运动也是如此”切题。故选C项。
134．根据前面三个小标题可确定，这是一个小标题。根据下文“Some rules have nothing to do with scoring points, They are just about protecting other people. For example, a diver would make sure that the pool is clear before diving in. For example, a diver would make sure that the pool is clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else. (有些规则与得分无关，它们只是为了保护他人。例如，一名潜水员在潜水之前，要确保水池清澈。否则，他或她可能会落到别人身上。)”可知，本段讲述要留意他人，A选项“留意他人”切题。故选A项。
135．根据前面三个小标题可确定，这是一个小标题。根据下文“This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may get right back in the game, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury.(这一点非常重要。如果你热爱运动，即使受伤了，你可能也会马上回到运动中。但是当你受伤的时候，运动不是一个坏主意。这会导致更严重的受伤。)”可知，这一段主要讲了受伤时不要运动，因此推断D项“受伤时不要运动”为最佳标题。故选D项。
136．C 137．E 138．F 139．B 140．G

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术疗法的概念以及其作用。
136．根据上文“Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills.(王尔德曾经说过：“当人以自己的身份说话时，就越不是他自己。给他一个面具，他就会告诉你真相。”当人们缺乏语言能力时，艺术提供了一种交流经验的方式)”以及最后一段中“Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.(艺术疗法建立在每个人都有创造力和自我表达能力的假设上)”可知，上文提到人们把艺术当作一种交流经验的方式，后文则提到艺术疗法建立在自我表达能力的假设上，故本句是在说明人们将艺术发展成了一种表达技巧。C选项中expressive对应后文self-expression。故C选项“他们把艺术发展成一种解决问题的表达技巧”最符合语境，故选C。
137．根据后文“As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state.(作为一种恢复性练习，它允许人们用非语言的方式表达自己，比如绘画。即使是45分钟的创造性活动也能改变一个人的精神状态)”可知，后文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态，即艺术可以影响人的功能。故E选项“艺术疗法，以其自身的方式，可以影响一系列的人类功能”最符合语境，故选E。
138．根据上文“Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more(即使是45分钟的创造性活动也能改变一个人的精神状态。与艺术治疗师一起工作甚至可以做得更多)”可知，上文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态，且与艺术治疗师可以做得更多，故本句是在说明艺术还能如何影响人的精神状态。故F选项“它能显著增强积极情绪，提高幸福感”最符合语境，故选F。
139．根据上文“Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself.(小孩子通常会画画、唱歌、跳舞，并不担心他们的能力。然而，成年人往往对艺术和艺术创作有复杂的感情。他们开始评估自己的艺术质量，而不是关注自我表现本身)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出成年人更关注自己的艺术质量的结果：创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了。故B选项“因此，创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了”最符合语境，故选B。
140．根据上文“What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being.(艺术治疗师的超能力是什么？他们可以把危险的想法转化成富有想象力的艺术品。例如，有暴力倾向的人可能会通过打别人来发泄他们的愤怒)”以及后文“These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.( 这些艺术选择在不损害个人安全的情况下满足了大脑对新奇事物的渴望)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出有暴力倾向的人是如何通过艺术治疗师的帮助，将精力转化成艺术且不伤害别人的，故G选项“然而，在艺术治疗师的帮助下，他们的精力可以转化为创造性的产品”最符合语境，故选G。
141．F 142．E 143．B 144．G 145．A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了体育运动能带来的很多好处。
141．根据前文“From a social standpoint, sports are a powerful tool that brings people together and creates a sense of community. ”(从社会的角度来看，体育是一种强大的工具，可以将人们聚集在一起，创造一种社区感。)可知，此处是讲体育对人们的社交活动有益。所以选项F“他们建立起联系，把各行各业的人联系在一起。”切合文意。故选F。
142．根据前文“I learned that I am not always going to get the results that I want, but no matter what, I have to persevere and not give up.”(我明白了，我并不总是能得到我想要的结果，但无论如何，我必须坚持，不放弃。)可知，此处是讲体育锻炼教会作者面对失败要有一种积极的态度，所以选项E“运动给了我积极的态度，我把跌倒看作是一种学习的方式。”切合文意。故选E。
143．根据前文“In addition to that, exercising is a great way to get out of the stressful college life that is all about homework, presentations, and group projects.”(除此之外，锻炼是摆脱紧张的大学生活的一个很好的方式，大学生活充满了家庭作业、演讲和小组项目。)可知，此处是讲体育锻炼能够让大学生更加充满能量，所以选项B“简而言之，运动可以帮助学生变得更有活力。”切合文意。故选B。
144．根据前文“The reason most students do not play sports is because they feel lazy about it and don't have the energy for it.”(大多数学生不做运动的原因是因为他们对运动感到懒惰，没有精力做运动。)可知，选项G中的“the belief that the intense exercise will leave you exhausted is wrong”(认为剧烈运动会让你精疲力竭的想法是错误的)和前文构成转折关系，对应转折词however。所以选项G“然而，那种认为剧烈运动会让你精疲力竭的想法是错误的。”切合文意。故选G。
145．根据后文“Besides just being fun, sports can help you perform better in school, relax more and worry less, deal with setbacks, work better with others and increase your energy.”(除了好玩之外，运动还能帮助你在学校表现得更好，更多地放松，更少地担心，应对挫折，更好地与他人合作，增加你的精力。)可知，此处是总结运动的诸多好处，所以选项A“总而言之，参加大学体育运动有一些重要的好处。”切合文意。故选A。
146．G 147．B 148．E 149．F 150．C

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些表达自己情绪的方法。
146．根据上文“It’s easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what we’re feeling from other people.（我们很容易陷入自己的小世界，对别人隐瞒自己的感受）”可知，有时候我们会在不知不觉中隐瞒自己的感受，使自己处于戒备状态。G项“有时候，我们甚至没有意识到自己在被保护或隐藏自己的感情”符合题意，选项中的“hiding our feelings”呼应上文的“hide what we’re feeling from other people”。故选G。
147．空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Relax and think through your feelings as they come to you. Whenever you feel something, take a second to sit with what you’re feeling. Think about how you feel and let the emotion wash over you naturally.（放松，当你的感觉来到你身边时，仔细想想。无论何时你感觉到了什么，花点时间坐下来感受一下你的感觉。想想你的感受，让这种情绪自然地笼罩着你）”可知，本段建议我们用一点时间整理自己的情绪。B项“花一分钟来处理情绪”可以作为主旨句，概括本段主要内容。故选B。
148．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“This process will make you more self-aware.（这个过程会让你更加有自我意识）”可知，下文应继续陈述给自己的情绪命名的好处。E项“它还将帮助你表达你的感受”符合题意，also表明上下文为顺承关系，“help”呼应上文的“make you more self-aware”。故选E。
149．根据上文“One way to help you to open up emotionally to others is to keep a daily journal. （帮助你在情感上向他人敞开心扉的一种方法是每天记日记）”和下文“Every day, write down a paragraph or two about your day and how it makes you feel. （每天，写下一两段关于你的一天以及它带给你的感觉）”可知，上文提出可以通过写日记来帮助自己在情感上向他人敞开心扉，下文提到了怎么做。由此推知，空处应陈述这样做的目的。F项“把它当作一个让你敞开心扉，坦诚相待的特殊空间”承接自然，选项中的“it”指代上文的“keep a daily journal”。故选F。
150．根据上文“Dedicate one night a week to go out and grab dinner with your family.（每周抽出一个晚上和家人一起出去吃饭）”以及下文“or go on a 20-minute walk every day.（或者每天步行20分钟）”可知，上下文都在列举一些和他人一起进行的活动。由此推知，空处也应列举某种活动。C项“和你的搭档一起上烹饪课”符合题意，故选C。
