Kids ’ health:  Four  steps  for fighting  stress
Everybody  gets stressed  time to time.    71    Some  ways  of dealing  with
stress  --- like screaming  or hitting  someone  --- don’t solve  (解决 ) much.  But other
ways,  like talking  to someone  you trust,  can lead you to solving  your problem  or at
least feeling  better.
Try taking  these  four steps.  the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support.  When  you need  help,  reach  out to the people  who care about
you. Talk to a trusted  adult,  such as a parent  or other  relatives.    72    They  might
have  had similar  problems,  such as dealing  with a test, or the death  of a beloved  pet.
(2) Don’t take it out on yourself.  Sometimes  when  kids are stressed  and upset
they take it out on themselves.  Oh, dear,  that’s not a good  idea.  Remember  that there
  are always  people  to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself.    73
(3) Try to solve  the problem.  After  you’re calm  and you have  support  from
adults  and friends,  it’s time to get down  to business.    74    Even  if you can’t solve
it all, you can solve  a piece  of it.
(4) Be positive.  Most  stress  is temporary  (暂时的 ). Remember  stress  does go
away,  especially  when  you figure  out the problem  and start working  on solving  it.
These  steps  aren’t magic,  but they do work.  And if you can stay positive  as you
you’re  your way through  a tough  time,  you’ll help yourself  feel better  even  faster.
75
A. Ask for a helping  hand  to get you through  the tough  situation.
B. Notice  your friends ’ feelings  and find a way to help them.
C. Different  people  feel stress  in different  ways.
D. Ah, it feels  so good  when  the stress  is gone.
E. You need  to figure  out what  the problem  is.
F. And don’t forget  about  your friends.
G. Then,  find a way to calm  down.

Answer: C

Public  Speaking  Training
·Get  a coach
     71    , so get help.  Since  there  are about  a billion  companies  out there  all
ready  to offer  you public  speaking  training  and courses,  here are some  things  to look
for when  deciding  the training  that’s right  for you.
·Focus  on positives
Any training  you do to become  more  effective  at public  speaking  should  always
  focus  on the positive  aspects  of what  you already  do well.  Nothing  can hurt
confidence  more  than being  told that you aren’t doing  well.      72      , so good
public  speaking  training  should  develop  those  instead  of telling  you what  you
shouldn ’t do.
·    73
If you find a public  speaking  course  that looks  as though  it’s going  to give you lots of
dos and don’ts, walk away!  Your  brain  is so full of what you’re going  to be talking  about .
   74    . As far as we’re concerned , there are basically  no hard and fast rules about
public  speaking . Your  audience  can be your friends .
·You  are a special  person  not a clone
Most  importantly,  good  public  speaking  training  should  treat you as a special
one, with your own personal  habits.      75   . Your  training  course  should  help
you bring  out your personality,  not try to turn you into someone  you’re not.
A. You aren’t like anybody  else
B. You already  do lots of things  well
C. Turn  your back  on too many  rules
D. Check  the rules  about  dos and don’ts
E. Whatever  the presentation,  public  speaking  is tough
F. The one thing  you don’t want  is for them  to fall asleep
G. So trying  to force  a whole  set of rules  into it will just make  things  worse

Answer: E

Answer: B

Answer: C

Answer: G

Answer: A

71．E  根据下一句 "ready  to offer  you public  speaking  training  and courses"可知，
开头说的是与 "public  speaking" 有关的问题， 故选 E．
72．B 本题位于段中，通过上下文得出选项．后一句 "so good  public  speaking
training  should  develop  those"与空格形成因果关系 ，所以空格中应表达 "你已经做
得很好了 "的含义， 所以 B选项是正确答案．
73．C  本题位于段首，为整段的主旨大意．本段第一句中提到 "lots of dos and
don’ts, walk  away!"可知，如果有的培训讲太多的条条框框的话 ，要对条条框框说
不，所以 C选项是正确答案．
74．G  从前句 "Your  brain  is so full of what  you’re going  to be talking  about ,"可知
后一空与前一空形成因果关系 ，脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟 ．故
选G．
75．A  小标题为 "You  are a special  person  not a clone以及 treat you as a special
one, with your own personal  habits"可以得出答案 You aren’t like anybody  else（与
众不同）． 故答案选 A．

Business  is the organized  approach  to providing  customers  with the goods  and
services  they want . The word  business  also refers  to an organization  that provides
these  goods  and services . Most  businesses  seek to make  a profit（利润） --- that is,
they aim to achieve  income  that is more  than the costs  of operating  the business .  71
Commonly  called  nonprofits , these  organizations  are primarily  nongovernmental
service  providers . 　72
Business  management  is a term used to describe  the techniques  of planning ,
direction , and control  of the operations  of a business . 　73    One is the
establishment （制定） of broad  basic  policies  with respect  to production ; sales ; the
purchase  of equipment , materials  and supplies ; and accounting . 　74   The third
relates  to the establishment  of standards  of work  in all departments . Direction  is

F. In the theory  of business  management,  organization  has two main  aspects.
G. Planning  in business  management  has three  main  aspects.

Answer: D

Answer: C

Answer: G

Answer: E

Answer: A

71．D  通过空格后的句子 Commonly  called  nonprofits , these  organizations  are
primarily  nongovernmental  service  providers 是讲一种不盈利的机构，前文讲述的
是商业机构的目的是为了赚取利润 ，所以讲到两种不同的情况 ，因此可以推测空
格处表达转折，且讲到不盈利的机构， 可以选 D．意为 "这些机构仅仅是赚取它
们自身运转的费用 "；
72．C  根据空格前面的内容讲的是不盈利机构 nonprofits ，可以推知接着是对不
盈利机构进行举例， 故答案为 C；
73．G 根据空格前面的内容 Business  management  is a term used to describe  the
techniques  of planning , direction , and control  of the operations  of a business．可知讲
的是 "商业管理 "（Business  management ），空格后的内容是对三个方面进行阐述
  ，空格的内容属于对 planning的阐述， 故答案为 G；
74．E  根据空格前后的内容可知， 前面阐述了 planning，后面 the third…阐述了
the control  of the operations  of a business（商业运作的控制 ）关系到所有部门的工
作标准的建立（ The third  relates  to the establishment  of standards  of work  in all
departments ），所以空格内容为 the second… ，用来阐述 direction 关系到部门对
各项政策的实行（ the application  of these  policies  by departments ），故答案为 E；
75．A  最后一点可以根据前一句推知，前面一句说明 "导向主要涉及权威管理
的引导和监管 "（Direction  is concerned  primarily  with supervision  and guidance  by
the management  in authority），可推知 "控制包括了报告和记录的作用 ﹣﹣用来对
比实际工作与工作标准是否符合 "．故答案为 A．

you spend  in the kitchen . Here  are three  tips for great  cooking  on a tight schedule :
①Think  ahead . The moments  when  I think  cooking  is a pain are when  I’m
already  hungry  and there  is nothing  ready  to eat. So think  about  of the coming  week .
When  will you have  time to cook ? Do you have  the right  materials  ready ? 　 37
②Make  your time worth  it. When  you do find time to cook  a meal , make  the
most  of it and save yourself  time later on. Are you making  one loaf of bread ? 　 38
it takes  around  the same  amount  of time to make  more  of something . So save yourself
the effort  for a future  meal .
③　 39  　 This may surprise  you, but one of the best tools  for making
cooking  worth  your time is experimentation . It gives  you the chance  to hit upon  new
ideas  and recipes  that can work  well with your appetite  and schedule . The more  you
learn  and the more  you try, the more  ability  you have  to take control  of your food and
your schedule .

Secret  codes  (密码 ) keep  messages  private . Banks,  companies,  and government
agencies  use secret  codes  in doing  business,  especially  when  information  is sent by
computer.
People  have  used secret  codes  for thousands  of years.     36    Code  breaking
never  lags (落后 ) far behind  code  making.  The science  of creating  and reading  coded
messages  is called  cryptography.
There  are three  main  types  of cryptography.     37    For example,  the first
letters  of “My elephant  eats too many  eels”  spell out the hidden  message  “Meet  me.”
   38    You might  represent  each letter  with a number,  for example.  Let’s
number  the letters  of the alphabet,  in order,  from  1 to 26. If we substitute  a number  for
each letter,  the message  “Meet  me” would  read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A code  uses symbols  to replace  words,  phrases,  or sentences.  To read the
message  of a real code,  you must  have  a code  book.     39    For example,
“bridge”  might  stand  for “meet”  and “out”  might  stand  for “me.”  The message
  “Bridge  out” would  actually  mean  “Meet  me.”     40    However,  it is also hard to
keep  a code  book  secret  for long.  So codes  must  be changed  frequently.
A. It is very hard to break  a code  without  the code  book.
B. In any language,  some  letters  are used more  than others.
C. Only  people  who know  the keyword  can read the message.
D. As long as there  have  been  codes,  people  have  tried to break  them.
E. You can hide a message  by having  the first letters  of each word  spell  it out.
F. With  a code  book,  you might  write  down  words  that would  stand  for other  words.
G. Another  way to hide a message  is to use symbols  to stand  for specific  letters  of the
alphabet.

Answer: D

Answer: E

Answer: G

Answer: F

Answer: A

36．D本题考察是逻辑关系，根据下一句 "code  breaking  never  lags behind  code
making"可知上一句是只要出现密码，就会有人去解码， 选项 D中的 break与空
格后面句中的 breaking构成一种复现； 故选 D．
37．E 本题考察是句子之间的例证关系，从后面文章的举例中 "For example , the
first letters  are ‘My elephant  eats too many  eels’ spell  out the hidden  message  ‘Meet
me.’"那么前一句应该是对例子的概括，即我们可以知道是运用每个单词的首字
母来组成密码， E选项正确
38．G 本题考察是文章的篇章结构，前一段是讲到了第一种方法，根据篇章结
构，下一段应该是讲述第二种设置密码的方法 ，而根据该段的例子 ，即字母表中
字母排列顺序转化成为数字信息， 所以这里关键词是 another  way 还有 alphabet，
故选 G．
39．F 本题考察的是逻辑关系，从上一句 "To read the message  of a real code , you
must  have  a code  book"你需要借用解码书来找出密码单词所对应真正意思， F选
项表示你应该找出解码书中密码所代表的词语， 故F正确．
40．A 本题考察的是关键词以及转折关系 ，根据下一句出现 "it is also hard to keep
a code  book  secret  for long,"这里出现了 also hard，所以上一句关键词为 hard；另
外however表示转折关系，证明上一句与下一句表达相对应； 故选 A．

A garden  that’s  just right  for you
Have  you ever visited  a garden  that seemed  just right  for you, where  the
atmosphere  of the garden  appeared  to total more  than the sum (总和 ) of its parts?     36
. But it doesn’t  happen  by accident.  It starts  with looking  inside  yourself  and
understanding  who you are with respect  to the natural  world  and how you approach
the gardening  process.
●   37
Some  people  may think  that a garden  is no more  than plants,  flowers,  patterns
and masses  of color.  Others  are concerned  about  using  gardening  methods  that require
less water  and fewer  fertilizers  (肥料 ).    38   . However,  there  are a number  of other
reasons  that might  explain  why you want  to garden.  One of them  comes  from  our
earliest  years.
●Recall(回忆 ) your childhood  memories
Our model  of what  a garden  should  be often  goes back  to childhood.  Grandma’s
rose garden  and Dad’s  vegetable  garden  might  be good  or bad, but that’s  not what’s

Answer: G

36．F 文章前面说 Have  you ever visited  a garden  that seemed  just right  for you,
where  the atmosphere  of the garden  appeared  to total more  than the sum（总和）  of
its parts？你是否去过让你感觉不错的花园？ 那的感觉让人觉得超越了园子本身 ；
后面说到 It starts  with looking  inside  yourself  and understanding  who you are with
respect  to the natural  world  and how you approach  the gardening  process．园艺不是
心血来潮，而是一个人内心中对自然的敬畏． 故选 F．
37．A 根据本段最后一句 However , there  are a number  of other  reasons  that might
explain  why you want  to garden . One of them  comes  from  our earliest  years ."然而，有
很多能解释你为什么想做园艺的原因 "可知我们首先要搞清楚为什么要做园艺，
故选 A．
38．E 本段前两句提出 Some  people  may think  that a garden  is no more  than plants ,
flowers , patterns  and masses  of color . Others  are concerned  about  using  gardening
methods  that require  less water  and fewer  fertilizers （肥料） ．有些人认为花园只是
一些花花草草 ，有些人关心少用水少用肥料 ．本句仍然在说明人们对园艺的不同
  看法．故选 E．
39．C 根据前句 Grandma ’s rose garden  and Dad’s vegetable  garden  might  be good  or
bad, but that’s not what ’s important ."…那些都不重要 "可知这里强调的是在园艺中
对我们来说真正重要的是什么． 故选 C．

们自己建一个花园 ，就可以回忆一下年轻的岁月 ．后面说 translate  your childhood
memories  into your grown -up garden．儿时的记忆变成了一座长大成人后的园子 ．
可知说的是园艺和记忆的关系， 故选 G．

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone knows that fish is good for health.    36    But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.    37    This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
   38    Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.    39    When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish.    40    First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

Answer: G

Answer: D

Answer: F

Answer: A

Answer: B

【解答】GDFAB
36．G．考查上下文串联．第一句Everyone knows that fish is good for health．是总写，but表示转折，说明but前面一句是对第一句的解释，G项"鱼中的脂肪有助于心脏病符合语境．
37．D考查上下文串联．题目前一句"Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult."可知，购买，存放和烧鱼并非难事，再根据后面一句可知，文章主要介绍了买鱼和烧鱼的简单知识，D项"这仅仅需要一点知识"符合语境，此题容易与C项混淆，C项后面应该直接跟烧鱼的方法，即C项与后一句重复，故选D．
38．F考查上下文串联．根据"Freshfish should smell sweet"可知，本段讲的是买鱼的时候要闻一下鱼的气味，故选F．
39．A考查上下文串联．根据前一句"Any fishy or strong smell means thefish isn't fresh．"可知，带有强烈的味道的鱼都不是新鲜的，不应该买这样的鱼，A项与后句联系紧密，故选A．
40．B考查上下文串联．根据"Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot"可知，本段介绍的是蒸鱼的方法，故选B．

If anyone  had told me three  years  ago that I would  be spending  most  of my
weekends  camping.  I would  have  laughed  heartily.  Campers,  in my eyes,  were  people
who enjoyed  insect  bites,  ill-cooked  meals,  and uncomfortable  sleeping  bags.  They
had nothing  in common  with me.     36    .
The friends  who introduced  me to camping  thought  that it meant  to be a pioneer.
37    We sleep  in a tent, cooked  over an open  fire, and walked  a long distance  to
take the shower  and use the bathroom.  This brief  visit with Mother  Nature  cost me
two days off from  work,  recovering  from  a bad case of sunburn  and the doctor’s  bill
for my son’s  food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless,  talked  into going  on another  fun-filled  holiday  in the
wilderness.    38    Instead,  we had a pop-up  camper  with comfortable  beds and an
air conditioner.  My nature-loving  friends  had remembered  to bring  all the necessities
of life.
  39    We have  done  a lot of it since.  Recently,  we bought  a twenty-eight-foot
travel  trailer  complete  with a bathroom  and a built-in  TV set. There  is a separate
bedroom,  a modern  kitchen  with a refrigerator.  The trailer  even  has matching  carpet
and curtains.
  40     It must  be true that sooner  or later,  everyone  finds  his or her way back
to nature.  I recommend  that you find your way in style.
A. This time there  was no tent.
B. Things  are going  to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough  one.
D. I was to learn  a lot about  camping  since  then,  however.
E. I must  say that I have  certainly  come  to enjoy  camping.
  F. After  the trip, my family  became  quite  interested  in camping.
G. There  was no shade  as the trees  were  no more  than 3 feet tall.

Answer: D

Answer: C

Answer: A

Answer: F

Answer: E

36．D  上文  They  had nothing  in common  with me 说明作者原来认为他不会成为
野营者．而下文主要描述的是 "我"从最开始进行 "rough  travel"到有了 "pop -up
camper"再到有了  trailer  的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野
营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系． D项意为 "然而在那之后我将
会学到关于野营的很多知识 "，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答
案为 D．
37．C  由下文  We sleep  in a tent, cooked  over an open  fire, and walked  a long
distance  to take the shower  and use the bathroom  可知， "我"的野营条件非常艰苦 ．
C项意为 "他们带我去的旅途非常艰苦 "，引出下文 ，符合语境 ．故正确答案为 C
．
38．A  由下文  Instead , we had a pop-up camper  with comfortable  beds and an air
conditioner  可知，空格处是与下文形成转折的内容 ，而"我"此次旅行用了展开式
营房．A项意为 "这一次没有帐篷 "，与下文形成转折 ，符合语境 ．故正确答案为
A．
39．F  由第三段第一句  going  on another  fun-filled  holiday  可知， "我"对这次旅
行非常满意，而由下文  We have  done  a lot of it since  可知， "我们 "都爱上了野营
．F项意为 "从这里旅行后 ，我全家都对野营产生了巨大的兴趣 "，承上启下 ，符
合语境． 故正确答案为 F．
40．E  由下文  sooner  or later, everyone  finds  his or her way back  to nature  可知，
"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然 ，也就是野营的个性化选择 ．形成这一观点的
前提是 "我"自己已经爱上了野营 ．E项意为 "我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了 "，
引出下文，符合语境． 故正确答案为 E．

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock   36     Here is how to make one.
●    37     In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.    38   That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found.   39
Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.    40    If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.

Color  is fundamental  in home  design  — something  you’ll  always  have  in every
room.  A grasp  of how to manage  color  in your spaces  is one of the first steps  to
creating  rooms  you’ll  love to live in. Do you want  a room  that’s  full of life?
Professional?  Or are you just looking  for a place  to relax  after a long day?    36   ,
color  is the key to making  a room  feel the way you want  it to feel.
Over  the years,  there  have  been  a number  of different  techniques  to help
  designers  approach  this important  point.     37   , they can get a little complex.  But
good  news  is that there’re  really  only three  kinds  of decisions  you need  to make  about
color  in your home:  the small  ones,  the medium  ones,  and the large  ones.
   38   . They’re  the little spots  of color  like throw  pillows,  mirrors  and
baskets  that most  of us use to add visual  interest  to our rooms.  Less tiring  than
painting  your walls  and less expensive  than buying  a colorful  sofa,  small  color
choices  bring  with them  the significant  benefit  of being  easily  changeable.
Medium  color  choices  are generally  furniture  pieces  such  as sofas , dinner
tables  or bookshelves     39   . They  require  a bigger  commitment  than smaller
ones , and they have  a more  powerful  effect  on the feeling  of a space.
The large  color  decisions  in your  rooms  concern  the walls , ceilings , and
floors . Whether  you’re looking  at wallpaper  or paint , the time, effort  and relative
expense  put into it are significant .    40   .
A. While  all of them  are useful
B. Whatever  you’re  looking  for
C. If you’re  experimenting  with a color
D. Small  color  choices  are the ones we’re  most  familiar  with
E. It’s not really  a good  idea to use too many  small  color  pieces
F. So it pays to be sure,  because  you want  to get it right  the first time
G. Color  choices  in this range  are a step up from  the small  ones in two major  ways

Answer: B

is the key”，B项意为 "无论你在寻找什么 ．"承接上文 ，并且引出下文 ，符文语境

If you are already  making  the time to exercise,  it is good  indeed!  With  such busy
lives,  it can be hard to try and find the time to work  out.   36   Working  out in the
morning  provides  additional  benefits  beyond  being  physically  fit.
● Your  productivity  is improved.  Exercising  makes  you more  awake  and ready
to handle  whatever  is ahead  of you for the day.   37
● Your  metabolism  (新陈代谢 ) gets a head  start.    38   If you work  out in the
mornings,  then you will be getting  the calorie  (卡路里 ) burning  benefits  for the
whole  day, not in your sleep.
●   39   Studies  found  that people  who woke  up early  for exercise  slept  better
than those  who exercised  in the evening.  Exercise  energizes  you, so it is more
difficult  to relax  and have  a peaceful  sleep  when  you are very excited.
●   40   If you work  out bright  and early  in the morning,  you will be more
likely  to stick  to healthy  food choices  throughout  the day. Who  would  want  to ruin
their good  workout  by eating  junk food?  You will want  to continue  to focus  on
positive  choices.
There  are a lot of benefits  to working  out, especially  in the mornings.  Set your
alarm  clock  an hour early  and push  yourself  to work  out! You will feel energized  all
day long.
A. You will stick  to your diet.
B. Your  quality  of sleep  improves.
C. You prefer  healthy  food to fast food.
D. There  is no reason  you should  exercise  in the morning.
E. You can keep  your head  clear  for 4-10 hours  after exercise.

37．E．考查上下文推理能力 ．根据上一句 Exercising  makes  you more  awake（锻
炼能让你更清醒 ），E项（你可以在运动后保持头脑清醒 4﹣10个小时． ）是对
上一句的进一步解释． 故选 E．
38．F．考查上下文推理能力．空前句子是本段的主题句，晨练是新陈代谢的开
始，空后句子说如果晨练 ，则你会得到卡路里一整天都在燃烧的益处 ，F项（锻
  炼之后，你一整天都在燃烧卡路里． ）是空后句子的根据 ，空后句子是对 F项的
进一步延伸． 故选 F．
39．B．考查上下文推理能力 ．此处缺一个主题句 ．空后句子解释了早起锻炼的
人比晚上锻炼的人睡得更好 ．B项（你的睡眠质量提高了． ）是对后面内容的总
述．故选 B．
40．A．考查上下文推理能力 ．根据空后句子 "If you work  out bright  and early  in the

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.
	    36    We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.
	“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful.    37    It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
	   38    “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.      39    ”
	So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, “Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better.   40     I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
A. So why do we dance?
B. Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.
C. If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.
D. My older students say it makes them feel young.
E. I keep practicing even When I’m extremely tired.

Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). _____38_____ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients Who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ______39______ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___40___While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.

根据下一句中的“the answer is a big YES”可知，该空应该是一个一般疑问句，选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。故选E：但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和选项中的“your mother always said”亦是呼应。
【37题详解】
根据下一句中提到的“If the air you’re breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen”可知，新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的，充满活力的氧气。下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是对前文的递进：在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知，该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用，根据常识，我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A选项：新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部。
【38题详解】
根据下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词，故选项G：在全国，康复中心已经开始建造“康复花园”。these places就是指Healing Gardens。
【39题详解】
前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用：绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力，降低血压，使人情绪良好。空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”。该空起承上启下的作用，仍然要提到处于“康复花园”这种自然环境中的好处，空后的it也要指代这种情况。故C选项切题：身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。
【40题详解】
根据下文中提到的“the sun’s rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D”可知，该段介绍的阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D：获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在晚宴上让自己表现得有趣的一些方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party (在晚宴上让自己变得有趣并不难)”可知，下文应主要讲述如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。下文“So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers. (所以最主要的事情就是去尝试，去冒险，尝试不同的食物，和陌生人交谈)”可推知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要勇于冒险，勇于探索。由此可知，B项“The first step is to go exploring(第一步是去探索)”承上启下，符合题意。故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. (它可以带入“我有这辆破旧的车”或“我和那些在后面嘲笑愚蠢笑话的疯子一起乘坐公共汽车。”它只是打开了对话)”可知，设空处应该是提了一个不太好的问题，只是开始交流，但并不会给人留下有趣的印象。由此可知，C项“If you ask the question “How did you get here?”(如果你问“你是怎么到这里来的？”这个问题)”能够承接下文，符合题意。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办法。由此推知，设空处提到了一个棘手的问题。F项“What about the person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking(喝太多酒或一直说个不停的人怎么办)”正是提出的问题，引出下文的解决办法，符合题意。故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台). If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不停”这个问题提供方法。由此可知，E项“Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say(或者把谈话变成他们没什么可说的话题)”是提出的另一个解决办法，承接上文，符合题意。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment.(如果你在晚宴上遭遇了尴尬的沉默，唯一能让大家再次交谈的方法就是赞美主人)”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，设空处承上启下，下文“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.(这蛋糕特别好吃，你得告诉我它的一切)”对主人进行了赞美。由此可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以需要赞美主人来缓解尴尬。G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most(他或她是最能感受到那种尴尬的人)”承上启下，符合题意。故选G项

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项 选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? ____16____. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ____17____ , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●____18____. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.____19____. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. ____20____. And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. Just keep music playing throughout
E. Donate whatever clothes are left over
F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

Answer: B

Answer: A

Answer: G

Answer: F

Answer: D

【解析】【16题详解】
根据上文“So what to do with all those perfectly- good-but-you 're- maybe-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor?（那么，该如何处理那些堆在卧室地板上的（看起来）完好但你可能有点厌倦的衣服呢？）”提出关于如何解决旧衣物的问题。下文“It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.（这是扔掉旧衣服、从朋友那里买衣服、同时开派对的最好方法。）”提到了具体处理旧衣物的方法。所以空白处应起承上启下的作用，承接上文讲到的问题，启下提出的方法。因而空白处是提出了一种处理旧衣物的好方法。B项“Hold a clothing swap.（进行衣物交换。）”给出了一种处理旧衣物的方法，承上启下，符合语境。故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.”（邀请5到10个人，这样你就有一个很好的选择。）说明了应该邀请的人数。下文“and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.”（可能没有足够的东西可供选择；多于这个数量，它就变得无法控制。）说明多于或少于一定数量的人数将会导致一些麻烦。所以空白处应是针对下文中的“more than that”提出的相反的假设，即少于一定数量的人。A项“Less people than that”（少于这些人）提出一种假设，和下文中“more than that”相对，说明人数不宜太多，也不能太少，符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.”（他们还应该准备大量的可重复使用的袋子，把他们的“新”衣服带回家。）说明去的时候应该为交换所得的“新衣服”准备袋子。G项“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition.”（告诉每个人带来品相完好的衣服。）说明去参加衣物交换的时候应该带完好的衣服，其中的bring和下文中carry相对，都是为交换衣物所做的准备。下文中的also也是提示词，并且其中They指代G项的everyone。所以G项符合语境。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.”（把不同类型的衣服放在房间的不同地方。）指出衣服应该归类放置。下文“Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.”（在房间周围放几面镜子，这样人们试穿时就能看到衣服的样子。）提到了放置镜子的意义。由此可见，本段讲述的是房间里的一些具体的做法，所以空白处一样要提出人们在房间里要做什么。F项“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots.（让每个人的衣服都放在相应的位置上。）”说明每个人应该按照不同类型把衣服摆放在相应的位置，符合语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.”（设置开始时间。也许你说“开始”，或者打开一首歌，或者无论什么。）打开音乐或者无论什么，意味聚会开始。下文“And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!”（别忘了拿出一些饼干和水果。记住，这是个派对！）讲到了聚会上应该提供一些派对该有的服务。因而，空白处应是承接上文，讲述聚会期间要保持应有的内容。D项“Just keep music playing throughout.”（要始终播放音乐。）承上启下，说明在派对上要有音乐，与前文形成意义上的一致，符合题意，故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。
【16题详解】
上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”（平日繁忙，很难抽出时间打电话。）讲的是双方都很忙碌，很难有时间给对方打电话，D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打电话，并坚持下去”给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法，符合题意。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”（确保你已经与你的朋友沟通过，了解你们彼此希望联系的次数，以及哪种沟通方式最适合你们两人。）提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式，B项“可以通过写信补偿”提出了其中一种沟通方式：写信，下文“There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”（除了不断的文字交流，还有其他方式，比如发语音或者组建群聊。）补充了发语音等其他沟通方式，其中“constant written communication”呼应了B项的“writing letters”。故选B项。
【18题详解】
下文“The friend who is remaining”（留下来的朋友）和“The one in the new environment”（在新环境中的那个）提到朋友的两个不同处境，G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方，也可能是被留下的那一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方，其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”，所以G项符合题意。故选G项。
【19题详解】
分析文章结构可知，设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法，是第五段的小标题。下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships.”（周年纪念日和生日对于异地友谊而言是非常重要的。）讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要的，由此推知，这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“记得重要的日子”，所以A项符合题意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.”（但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系。）讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone”（不要仅仅依赖技术）中的“technology”。故选F项。

(当你在吃的间隙把它们放下来的时候，一定要把它们放在一起，这样它们就和你面前的桌子边缘平行了)”可知，此处讲述了正确使用筷子的方式。由此可知，F项“Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them (不要把它们笔直地插在你的食物中，也不要在使用它们时交叉放置)”讲述的也是使用筷子时的注意事项，符合此处语境，其中“them”指的是上文的“chopsticks”。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Hands or Utensils (餐具)”可知，本段主要讲述的是手和餐具的问题。根据上文“In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand.

Similarly, in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food. (在葡萄牙，这将是一个严重的错误，因为这向厨师表明你不喜欢他们的调味技巧。同样，在意大利，永远不要要求在食物中添加额外的奶酪)”可推知，在一些国家，用餐时提出要求是很无礼的。由此可知，G项“It may seem like simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal (吃饭时要盐和胡椒看似很简单)”符合此处语境，其中“request”是关键词，说明，在用餐时提出一些我们看来很平常的要求在某些国家是无礼的。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据下文“the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices. (你就会对它的外国文化习俗感到越舒服)”可推知，此处指在一个国家待得越久，就会越习惯当地习俗，且此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，B项“The more time you spend in any given country (你在某个国家待的时间越长)”符合文意，引出下文。故选B。
