Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life. Often due to various pressures, we tend to ignore our health. 35 It is the fitness level of our body that helps us fight these diseases.36 We need to be fit to have a healthy body. Similarly, if we are healthy we shall naturally be attracted towards maintaining the fitness of our body. Health is the state of our body at a given time. We may not have any disease but still have a weak body, which is ready to be targeted by viruses. 37 This does not definitely mean that we are not healthy. It means the fitness level is not in accordance with our age and the climatic conditions we live in.It is important for everyone to devote some time to health and fitness. 38 For instance, we must exercise daily regardless of our age and working style. There are different levels of exercises for different age groups and we must do them according to our own health and age.Additionally, it is important to relax our body. We should have at least six to eight hours of sleep every day. It helps in improving our immune (免疫) system and protects us against diseases. 39 This, in turn, gives us new goals of health and fitness.A. Fitness levels decide the quality of life.B. Health and fitness are interrelated to each other.C. It also helps in keeping us calm and relaxes our mind.D. For instance, we may have a tendency to catch a cold easily.E. If we keep our body fit, we can enjoy life in a better manner.F. There are some activities which everyone should do in our life.G. This makes our body suffer and we catch lifestyle and other diseases.2021年Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people. 35 The mental health benefits from music can’t be argued. Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes.36 However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting (分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain.Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. 37 While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety.When it comes to heart health, there is speculation (推测) that it’s not the style of music, but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. 38 On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants’stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.39 But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable.A. This feeling can also result in many other health problems.B. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.C. This idea is a little off-the-wall but still has scientific backing.D. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.E. The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive.F. It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety.G. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were.Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one’s head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself. 46 Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.47 People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans (寿命), lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one’s ability to deal with problems and hardships. 48 For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer (缓冲作用) against depression and anxiety. Resilient (适应性强的) people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. 49In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard t imes and improving the quality of one’s life. It doesn’t have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. 50 Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one’s physical and mental health.A. It doesn’t cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.E. As thinking changes, an individual’s behaviour and habits change as well.F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.2019年Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished (完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 46 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?47 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the te am’s perform ance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in bas eball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the te am’s perform ance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. 48 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TE AM.”49Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war (拔河比赛) , whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.50 . An A-team may require a balance —not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.2018年Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering (触发) events, personality traits (特征) , and our assessment of situations. 51Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 52 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 53 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.2017年Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 71One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 73Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.2016年The Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 71 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 72 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 73No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 74 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.75 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.2015年This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 71 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 72 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 73 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task --preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 74Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 75Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.2014年Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 71Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 73 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to”or is “associated with”an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 73 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 74 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).75 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A. Make choice that are right for you.B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.D. And examine the findings of the original research.E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.2013年UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 71 In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history --a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 72 .The process of urbanization --the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city-- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 73Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 74 Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 75 Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.A. That kept cities very small.B. The rest live in small towns.C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.2012年EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__ There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intell igence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商)? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.2011年Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑) —of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thanking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on theother hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.答案2022年：GBDFC2021年：FBDGE2020年：BDCGA2019年：BEGDF2018年：FGEAD2017年：CEFGB2016年：FCAEG2015年：BCAEG2014年：GDFBA2013年：EDBAF2012年：BDGFC2011年：DEAFG。

2017北京高三英语一模完形汇总朝阳区An Effective CommercialI have to admit that I rarely watch commercials, since most of them are boring and stupid. When watching commercials, we are “learning” that consumption makes us happy and that we need to buy everything. This really makes me 36 . So when I watch commercials I usually start thinking of other things, and don’t hear a 37 . Recently, however, a commercial for a major retail (零售) store got my 38 . It gave me a deep impression, and 39 me of the best things about Christmas.A young lady is talking over the phone to her family right before Christmas. She is obviously living away from her family and 40 them. She is upset because she won’t be with them for the holidays. I believe she is talking to her mother, who asks her if she has received the 41 that were sent to her. The young lady 42 that she hasn’t, and the mother expresses 43 that they should have arrived by now. The mother suggests that she 44 the doorstep. At this point, the young lady opens her front door, and 45 there is her family on the doorstep.They have come to 46 the Christmas with her. This is where I got 47 . What a surprise! This has happened to me, but I can 48 how wonderful it would be. The holidays are a good time to 49 connections and renew relationships among family members. People can communicate with each other and 50 a sense of belonging. So once again I am reminded that the best Christmas gifts are not the ones you buy in the retail store. They are gifts of 51 , family and time spent together happily. Commercials can 52 the audience if they areis human interest, and usually there are some common 54 . A good commercial for me is when I can forget it is a commercial for something I have to buy and instead 55 it with an experience in my own life or the lives of others. It can make me think and pass ona few of those thoughts to other people.36. A. relaxed B. annoyed C. nervousD. curious37. A. view B. story C. noiseD. word38. A. attention B. way C. ideaD. trouble39.

Being called to the human resources department is a little like being called to the principal’s office.“Annie,” she said, “A food bank in our town that serves theelderly is asking for 36 . I’d like you to organize the event and see it through.” “Well, um, errr…sure. I guess so.” As I stuttered(结结巴巴地说) throughmy 37 , all I could think was, “What? Why me?”I walked back to my office without any idea as to where to 38 . This was a time when the economy was 39 . The rise in unemployment forced the families of many of my coworkers to 40 to survive. How could I ask my coworkers for more?That evening I drove home filled with negativity. Then I remembered a time long ago when my father was out of work. Mom wrote a note to Jim, the milkman, asking him not to 41 any more milk. Two days later Jim picked up the 42 and left four liters of milk. He wrote his own message on the back side of Mom’s. It read, “Kids need milk.” The milk delivery 43 as usual and Jim left four liters of milk every other day, never collecting a cent 44 us.The memory of Jim’s 45 fired my enthusiasm. Perhaps I’d be in for a pleasant surprise.The next morning I 46 signs about our food drive all over the cafeteria and on every notice board I could find. Each sign read, “Food drive to support the elderly poor of our town! 47 of non-perishable(不易腐的) foods are greatly needed.”Within a few days I had to locate empty office spaceto 48 the massive number of contributions we had 49 . One of my coworkers, Maggie, made the rounds with me every day from one department to another to pick up the canned goods and other 50 . Maggie was over sixty but pushed our food trolley around with the 51 of a woman half her age.As we were making our rounds one day，I asked her where she got all the energy and enthusiasm. “Annie,” she said, “with the unemp loyment rate touching 10 percent, I can’t think of a better way to be 52 for keeping our jobs when so many have 53 theirs. Sure money is 54 . But when isn’t it? People need food.”As I listened to Maggie, the milkman’swords 55 in my ea rs, “Kids need milk.”36. A. advice B. help C. pityD. medicine37.

The schools weredismissed early, but much to my surprise, my 36 wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my 37 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local 38 center.When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 39 . Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 40 to their veins, andmachines quietly pumping away to 41 their lifesaving gifts.Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference in the life of someone I would never 42 .To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just do it. But a few months ago, during one of my 43 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 44 ever since.My wife Karen is a 45 , too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia(白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, 46 Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 47 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and thenimmediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race 48 time.I wish I could say that this 49 was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d 50 on the donor list. “Of course, “Karen answered.Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll 51 an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may 52 . Most likely it will be a 53 , but on any day the person needing a blood product could be you or me or maybe a loved one.

It was time for the weekly eleventh-grade volleyball game. I knew I would never be the best 36 on any team. But every week, I stared at my shoes and simply wished I wouldn’t be picked 37 . And yet I was last almost every time. No team wanted the girl who always 38 the ball, and missed the easy serves.Years later I realized how much those moments of 39 had affected me. I began to expect the 40 in every situation, repeatedly telling myself that I just wasn’t good enough. I grew up staring at my 41 .All that began to 42 during the summer vacation in high school. My mom’s sister Aunt Karen,offered me a part-time job. I had always admired Aunt Karen 43 she was successful and led such an exciting life. Her good manner and warm smile were totally different from the 44 way I approached the world. But that summer she taught me to look at things 45 . Aunt Karen said that the secret 46 success comes from the inside, not the outside. I was shocked to learn her experience had been similar to mine. She hadn’t been good at 47 , either! Aunt Karen said she finally realized what other people thought of her didn’t 48 as much as what she thought of herself. She told me when she started noticing her own good qualities, she 49 being so self-critical. So that summer I took her 50 to heart. I listened to what I was saying to myself and decided to focus more on the good. For example, when I misfiled an important paper, I 51 myself of all the other ones I had filed correctly. And when I was shown the dirty closet, I said to myself that I would be great at 52 it. Before long I had learned a valuable lesson. 53 thinking actually works! By the time school started that fall, I was much more 54 . I went along with people around me with a totally different attitude. When my chemistry teacher announced that we should each find a lab partner, 55 looking down at my shoes, I looked up and smiled. And do you know what happened?

People call in, and you have to go out and make an offer. “You can’t 36 what you don’t have.” my father would say.When I was aged thirteen, my father lost his store 37 , a one-armed guy who could do more with his one arm than many will do with two. With his manager gone, my father came to me. “Will you come in while I go out to 38 the day’s calls until I find the 39 person?” he asked.The store has tens of thousands of 40 . “People like to bargain,” he told me, “So I don’t 41 prices. You just have to know a 42 .”He took me around. “A quarter-horse motor you can sell for four dollars. For a refrigerator, depending on the 43 , you can sell for thirty-five dollars tosixty dollars. However, if it has a freezer that goes well, sell it for eighty dollars, in 44 condition, maybe one hundred dollars. Dishes come in with a houseful of furniture, and I don’t even 45 them in when I give a price. You can sell them for a cent to a dollar. Something really nice.”Every day after 46 , I would ride to the store. Soon after, I was writing up a sales slip（纸条）for an attractive plate when my father walked in. I had asked a dollar and the guy did not 47 . I was very pleased. My father glanced down at what I was doing, 48 to the customer and said, “You sure got a bargain today. My employee gave you the 49 and that’s the price.”Afterward, I asked my father, “what was that all about ?”It turned out that it was an antique plate, worth a few hundred dollars. I was 50 . Here I was 51 to help my father in the business and instead I was losing money for him.He said, “I could’ve 52 the sales if I’d wanted to. You were just writing up the slip and hadn’t yet taken the money. Besides, by civil law, you’re under53 .

2017北京卷七选五Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 71 One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强)connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 73 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s sleep, we fin d it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.71-75CEFGB。

Then I begin to move slowly from on side to anotherdangerously.A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in Spain.The activity of making human towers began almost 200 years ago nearTarragona, just south of Barcelona. 71 It has become an annual event in some areas of the country. Usually it is considered a success once all castellers have climbed into their appointed places. On November 16, 2010, castells were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.72 It is a formation of several people in which two or more people support a level of higher people, who in turn may support other higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the people in each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting in a triangular structure. 73At first I’d like to go on top to enjoy the glory, but the clu b’s president indicated a little girl who looked as though she had been raised on the top. It was she who had pride of place on top of the tower. For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assumed my position, people began to climb up me to the tower without warning. 74 My hard work must have been appreciated because I was quickly promoted to support the bottoms of the first level of the tower.My performance in the “hands” section was obviously satisfactory. 75 I was really proud of that, since it was a clear gesture that I had been fully accepted.A.

The girl next to her joins in, “Well, I hate my hair today.” Without thinking, you respond: “No, you are not fat! I am fat. And my hair is flat and boring.” 71It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts there is often pressure for you to join in. 72 Maybe it is because “just talking” feels harmless. But before you know it, those opinions flow out of your conversations and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-respect.73 When you start talking about yourself in a negative way, you are not only affecting your self-respect, but your friends’! When you criticize yourself, your friendsmight think you have the same standards for them. You have heard that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated, but there is also value in treating yourself like you treat your frie nds. If you wouldn’t criticize your friend for the same thing, chances are that you are being too hard on yourself. So, don’t start it.But what if someone else starts? For example, your friend feels insecure about how well he played in his soccer g ame, so he puts himself down: “I suck at soccer.” 74 Ask him, “Do you really think that? Why?” Maybe he is actually upset about a comment someone made, or is just getting down on himself over one bad play. Whatever it is, talking through the real issue will help him more than slipping into another negative talk.It is important to talk to your friend about your insecurities, but make sure you are not talking about them just to put yourself down. 75 Instead of just focusing on the negative, talk about what makes you and your friends beautiful and unique—including what you love about your body and what you have accomplished. When you show yourself love, you set yourself as an example, and everyone benefits from you positively.A. Negative talk affects self-respect.B. Criticizing yourself helps nobody.C.

Aftertheir A-level exams, young people in the UK often make a fresh start by going to university, which can involve leaving their family and moving to a new city. __71__Freshers’ Week is a chance to make lots of new friends and try out different hobbies. Most universities in the UK have a Union building: a place where students go to have fun. __72__ It also hosts various societies, including sports teams, political groups, etc. Students buy a membership to be part of a society and go to social events to meet others with similar interests. Sometimes there are quite a lot of students in lectures so it is difficult to get to know people in class. Therefore, each subject has its own club, such as the English Society and the Philosophy Society.__73__ Tours of the town, creative workshops and parties are great ways to socialize with others. Sometimes famous singers come and play concerts especially for the new students of the university. There are also opportunities to go on trips to theme parks or other big cities nearby.Students often move into “halls of residence” in their first year. __74__ This is an excellent way to make friends but sometimes it can be difficult if you don’t get along with your new flat-mates or if the shared area gets very messy.Freshers’ Week can be quite an exhausting experience because so many activities happen at once. A lot of students feel homesick when they first arrive on campus and keep themselves very busy to avoid feeling sad about leaving their family. Some students use their new liberty to drink a lot of alcohol and eat unhealthy food during Freshers’ Week. __75__ However, it is supposed to be the best week of your life, and it is also an opportunity to make friends.

The first week of university life is called Freshers’ Week and is both an excitingand scary experience.GADBF丰台区A Canine Reading BuddyDogs and people have developed a special bond over time. Recently, however, some dogs have taken a different role in people’s lives—therapy dogs.71 Some therapy dogs visit patients in hospitals or nursing homes, while others visit children in schools and libraries. They are there to help children become better readers.Reading programs that use therapy dogs have been in existence for more than ten years. All therapy dogs of this program are registered with an organization that tests the dogs to make sure they have the right personality for the job.72 Both the dogs and the handlers are volunteers with the reading program.At the start of a reading therapy session, a child and a dog are introduced. The pair is allowed to settle down in a quiet corner together. 73 An adult handler stays nearby but generally lets the dog perform its job without interfering(干涉). Sometimes, a handler may ask a question that encourages the child to work with the dog to help the child feel more comfortable.Not every child will be able to be part of a reading therapy program that uses dogs. A few children might be allergic to dogs or afraid of them; some children might have cultural traditions that prevent them from touching a dog. 74Reading therapy programs inspire learning and change. 75 They spend time with human friends. For dogs that love human companionship and a quiet place to rest, being part of a reading therapy program can be a great way to spend a few hours each day. The readers benefit too, gaining confidence and learning that reading aloud can be a relaxing experience.A. How do the therapy dogs benefit from it?B. But therapy animals also serve in many other areas.C. As the child reads, the dog usually lies quietly and listens.D. When reading to an animal, some children may become relaxed.E. In these circumstances, other animals are available, such as cats and parrots.F. A therapy dog is more of a companion and is trained to help people in different ways.G. A dog’s handler also takes a class and must pass a test to work in the therapy program.FGCEA石景山区How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they?

The Tower and the GloryA large man jumps onto my shoulders. He is quickly followed by anotherslightly smaller man who catches my belt and moves up. Another follows. Then Ibegin to move slowly from on side to another dangerously.A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in Spain. The activityof making human towers began almost 200 years ago near Tarragona, just southof Barcelona. 71 It has become an annual event in some areas of thecountry. Usually it is considered a success once all castellers have climbed into their appointed places. On November 16, 2010, castells were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritageof Humanity.72 It is a formation of several people in which two or more people support a level of higher people,who in turn may support other higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the peoplein each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting in a triangular structure. 73 At first I’d like to go on top to enjoy the glory, but the clu b’s president indicated a little girl who looked as though she had been raised on the top. It was she who had pride of place on top of the tower. For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assumed my position, people began to climb up me to the tower without warning. 74 My hard work must have been appreciated because I was quickly promoted to support the bottoms of the first level of the tower.My performance in the “hands”section was obviously satisfactory. 75 I was really proud of that, since it was a clear gesture that I had been fully accepted.A. Building a good human tower takes team work and skills.B. Within seconds I assisted in the formation of a three- level tower.C. Each team is famous for its tallest and most complex tower of people.D.

Before long I was called forward and given the great honor of the President’s Belt.G. I hoped to change my position because I knew that this activity required particular skills.EADBFHow to Bring Our Community TogetherCanada is a nation that prides itself on multi-culturalism and opportunity. __71___ Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities.There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging: ___72__ One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experience.

2010年北京高考英语试题（7选5）第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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．71．（10分）MuzakThe next time you go into a bank，a store，or a supermarket，stop and listen．What do you hear？（71）It's similar to the music you listen to，but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing，but you react to the music anyway．Quiet background music used to be called"elevator （电梯）music"because we often heard it in elevators．But lately we hear it in more and more places，and it has a new name"Muzak"．About one﹣third of the people in America listen to"Muzak"everyday．The music plays for 15 minutes at a time，with short pauses in between．It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning，and between three and four in the afternoon，when people are more tired．（72）If you listen to Muzak carefully，you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs．Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak，but others are happy when their songs are chosen．Why？（73）Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel．It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do．Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background．（74）Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries．（75）．They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time．But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places．They say it helps them relax and feel calm．One way or another，Muzak affects everyone．Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!A．Some people don't like Muzak．B．The music gives them extra energy．C．Music is playing in the background．D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more．E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better．F．They ge t as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used．G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world．2011年北京市高考英语试卷（阅读7选5））（10分）Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking？To a certain degree，it's a matter of logic（逻辑）﹣of being able to spot weaknesses in other people's arguments and to avoid them in your own．It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence．In the broad sense，critical thinking is focused，organized thinking﹣the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas．（71）The greatest thinkers，scientists，and inventors have often taken information that was readily available put it together differently to produce new ideas．That，too，is critical thinking．（72）As the class goes on，for example，you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches．While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise，it is closely connected with critical thinking．If the structure of your speech is loose and confused，chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused．If，on the other hand，the structure is clear，there is a good chance your thinking is too．Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have（73）．What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking．（74）As you work on expressing your ideas in clear，accurate language，you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately．（75）As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class，you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations．If you take full advantage of your speech class，you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances．This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece．A．Rather，it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves．B．This may seem like a lot of time，but the rewards are well worth it．C．It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．D．It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world，only reorganized ideas．E．If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class，the answer is quite a lot．F．The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways．G．As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking，you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well．2012年北京市高考英语试卷（阅读7选5）71．（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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．EmpathyLast year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability tounderstand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10years．（71）Today，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．Jennifer Freed，a co﹣director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect．（72）There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．（73）Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self﹣respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear．Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact，Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers．（74）"Academics are important．But if you don't have emotional （情感的）intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，"she says．What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）？For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．（75）To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a"sharing circle"with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter．A．Everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person．B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．C．"One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，"Freed says．D．Humans learn by example﹣and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．E．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else﹣both what they think and how they feel．F．Good social skills﹣including empathy﹣are a kind of"emotional intelligence"that will help yousucceed in many areas of life．G．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human﹣and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．2013年北京市高考英语试卷（7选5）71．（10分）UrbanizationUntil relatively recently，the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city．The first city was probably founded no more than 5，500years ago．（71）．In fact，nearly everyone lived on farms or intiny rural （乡村的）villages．It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society inhistory﹣a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living．Britain was only the beginning．（72）．The process of urbanization﹣the migration （迁移）of people from the countryside to the city﹣was the result of modernization，which has rapidly transformed how people live andwhere they live．In 1990，fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas．Today，over 82% of Americans live in cities．Only about 2% live on farms．（73）．Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized．Even in advanced agricultural societies．It took about ninety﹣five people on farms to feed five people in cities．（74）．Until modern times，those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite（精英）and the servants，laborers and professionals who served them．Citiessurvived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the ruralpopulation produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city．Over the past two centuries，the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country．（75）．Today，instead of needing ninety﹣five farmers to feed five city people，one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non﹣farmers．A．That kept cities very small．B．The rest live in small towns．C．The effects of urban living on people should be considered．D．Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies．E．But even 200years ago，only a few people could live in cities．F．Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive．G．Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings．2014年北京市高考英语试题（7选5）71．（10分）Evaluating Sources （来源）of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation．A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information．Resonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information，how to separate fact from opinions，how to recognize poor reasoning，and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources．（71）Go to the original source．Media reports often simplify the results of medical research．Find out for yourself what a study really reported，and determin whether it was based on good science．Thinkabout the type of study．（72）Watch for misleading language．Some studies will find that a behaviour"contributes to"or is"associated with"an outcome；this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result．（73）Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it．Use your common sense．If a report seems too good to be true，probably it is．Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements．（74）Evaluate"scientific"statements carefully，and be aware of quackery（江湖骗术）．（75）Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration，but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us．Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life．A．Make choice that are right for you．B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something．C．Be sure to work through the critical questions．D．And examine the findings of the original research．E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice．F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view．G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources．2015年北京市高考英语试卷（7选5）71．（10分）This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant，especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing．Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them．They can seem forgetful and clumsy．（71）They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things．But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history．（72）Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions？So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool？First，understand that some opportunities（机会）for daydreaming are better than others．Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams．（73）And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming，try to do it while you are involved in another task﹣preferably something simple，like taking a shower or walking，or even making meaningless drawings．It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate．"Mindfulness"，being focused，is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep．（74）Finally，you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved
