七选五阅读理解也称还原型阅读（也有阅读填空等称呼），即给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，根据文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处。
七选五的解题策略：一、从意思上判断在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。
在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。
二、从词汇上锁定线索做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感，最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。
其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。
尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。
三、从关联词上查找由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡，使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。
常见的关联词有下面这些：a. 并列与递进关系：and, or, also, likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to say, as well as, the same …as, besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to, what is more等b. 因果关系：because, for, since, as, thus, hence, therefore, so, so…that, consequently, accordingly, due to, thanks to, as a result, because of, in that, for this reason, of coursec. 转折让步关系：but, however, yet, on the contrary, by contrast, on the other hand, unfortunately, while, whereas, unlike, rather than, instead of, it is true that, although, though, even though, even if, nevertheless, despite, in spite ofd. 时间关系：afterwards, at first, at last, finally, first, firstly, in the first place, to start with, in the mean time, last, later, next, second, secondly, then, third, thirdly, to begin with以及一些具体的时间。

2019朝阳一Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating?Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate? Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation. ____46____The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the pow er of the mind. “If you just think about the food itself—how it tastes and smells—that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. ____47____ V isualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. ____48____ Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. ____49____When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed.The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.____50____Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we’ve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.A. What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.46—50 CAFDG2019朝阳二Films and computer gamesI n just a few decades the gaming industry has become much bigger than the film business. What is called “interactive entertainment” makes more money than Hollywood cinema. Is thereany way of making films more appealing to people who like to play computer games?Making a film out of a best-selling computer game can guarantee a large audience. ___46__ Nowadays films are made with similar ones. They have attractive action scenes relying on fantasy effects as well. Gaming markets consist of science-fiction games, and film-makers have also set films in science-fiction worlds. ___47___ Any attempt to borrow more than the setting from a game is certain to fail.Why do gamers feel disappointed by films based on their favorite games? One of the reasons is technical. Now everything can be computer-produced. ___48___ However, filming a scene from 20 different cameras would cost a fortune, so it simply isn’t done in the film version—leaving the gamers feeling that the film didn’t look as real as the computer game.__49___ In a film the director doesn’t show you some things to keep you have the feeling of excitement or anxiety. For example, you wouldn’t be interested in watching the film if you knew the identity of the murderer. But this is not true for computer games. When you play a game, you have to do certain tasks to continue to the new level. ___50___ You are always in control as a player, while in the cinema you never control the action. You just sit and watch.There can be some interaction between films and computer games on different levels. For all the similarities between technologies and special effects, we shouldn’t forget that a story and a game are fundamentally different.A. Cameras matter in another sense, too.B. The success of a game usually lies in the use of special effects.C. You can’t influence what happens at all in the computer games.D. Computer games may show the action from a number of views easily.E. The game has a good chance of being as successful as the film on which it is based.F. You must be able to have access to all the information in order to decide what to do next.G. However, the difficulty for film producers appears to be knowing where and when to stop.46—50BGDAF2019东城一Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? 46 Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable? Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.47 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledgemistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 48 However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.49 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean tha t we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.Being human, perfection is impossible. 50 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.C.

Contact cultures—southern European, Latin American and Arabian—engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non-contact cultures in northern Europe, North America and partsof Asia.To a degree, this proved correct. Argentina becomes known as the most touchy-feely nation; people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance anda Canadian individual a close friend or partner.48 They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger—more than 1.3m—but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends, just 40cm, compared to nearly 60cm for a British person. So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it sounds.49 The higher a country’s average temperature, the closer people will stand to a stranger. But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers; women generally keep a greater distance from so meone they don’t know.The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do. But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada; prepare for a hug in Argentina. 50 They like to stand closer than anybody. To keep warm, perhaps.A. It’s important to get the distance right, though.B. Romanians clearly take longer to establish trust.C. How close we stand to other people varies widely between countries.D. And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian, don’t draw back.E. However, in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought.F. One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space.G. The study certainly found that climate, age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures.46．E 47．F 48．B 49．G 50．D2019丰台二Develop Note-Taking SkillsSpeech students are often amazed at how easily their teacher can pick out a speaker’s main points, evidence, and techniques. Of course, the teacher knows w hat to listen for and has had plenty of practice. But the next time you get an opportunity, watch your teacher during a speech. Chances are she or he will be listening with pen and paper. 46Unfortunately, many people don’t take notes effectively. So me try to write down everything a speaker says. They view note taking as a race, pitting their handwriting agility(敏捷) against the speaker’s rate of speech.47 But soon the speaker is winning the race. The speaker pulls so far ahead that the note taker can never catch up. Finally, the note taker admits defeat and spends the rest of the speech grumbling in frustration.48 They arrive armed with pen, notebook, and the best of intentions. They know they can’t write down everything, so they settle comfortably in their seats and wait for the speaker to say something that grabs their attention. Every once in a while the speaker rewards them with a joke, a dramatic story, or a startling fact. Then the note taker seizes pen, jots down a few words, and leans back dreamily to await the next fascinating tidbit(趣闻). By the end of the lecture the note taker has a set of tidbits—and little or no record of the speaker’s important ideas.As these examples illustrate, they don’t know what to listen for, and they don’t know how to record what they do listen for. 49 But once you know what to listen for, you still need a sound method of note taking.Although there are a number of systems, most students find the key-word outline best for listening to speeches. As its name suggests, this method briefly notes a speaker’s main points and supporting evidence in rough outline form. By separating main points from sub-points and evidence, the outline format shows the relationships among the speaker’s ideas.50 But with a little effort you will become a better note taker.A. Perfecting this taking requires practice.B. Some people go to the opposite extreme.C. As the speaker starts to talk, the note taker starts to write.D. Taking effective notes usually helps you receive higher grades.E. Most inefficient note takers suffer from one or both of two problems.F. When note taking is done properly, it is sure to keep track of a speaker’s ideas.G. The solution to the first problem is to focus on a speaker’s main points and evidence.46. F 47. C 48. B 49. G 50. A2019海淀一Benefits of SportsDoing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It’s a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you’re involved. 46 Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.47 Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and oth er players raise the self-worth. 48 So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask “Did you enjoy the game?” rather than “Did you win?”Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership. 49 Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics. 50 There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!A. It’s not just your body that benefits from sports.B. Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.C. But remember, a child’s self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.D. If you play group sports, you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.E. Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive.F. Among these, learning how to function as part of a team is the most important advantage.G. Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field.46. E 47.

But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. 46The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. 47 A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.48 It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious f oods. “We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, “Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. 49 Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines. 5 0 The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.A. These foods give people more energy.B. They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.C. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.D. The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.E. These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.F. They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.G. And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior.46．C 47．G 48．E 49．F 50．B。

Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone,and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live."I saw him gasp （喘息）, but the doctor said it was no use, " Kate told the Daily Mail five years later.

"We'd resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments."Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named J amie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him."We were trying to persuade him to stay, " Kate told the Daily Mail . "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him."Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father's finger.The couple's lost boy had made it."We're the luckiest people in the world, " David told Today .Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily burst into tears, " Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie.

But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an anglethat's 15.4 degrees off to the observer's right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, "She's not looking at you." This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person's gaze （凝视）in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the "Mona Lisa effect" . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don't cut the gaze of the character to that side—surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn't looking at anyone in the room at all.Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars（虚拟头像） when Horstmann took a long look at the "Mona Lisa" and realized she wasn't looking at him.To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the "Mona Lisa" on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa's gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa's gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the "Mona Lisa" portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer?Horstmann isn't sure. It's possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term "Mona Lisa effect" just thought it was a cool name.A.B.C.D.A. B.C.

Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable,typically eat better and live longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.A.messyB.tidyC.terriblefortable（1）（2）What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who aren't necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first experiment,they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered （乱堆） with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too.In this one, college students were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls. Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects were neatly arranged.The results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But in the study by Dr. Vohs, disordered offices encouraged originality and a search for novelty. In the final portion of the study, adults were given the choice of adding a health "boost" to their lunchtime smoothie that was labeled either "new" or "classic".The volunteers in the messy space were far more likely to choose the new one; those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version."Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, " Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, "which can produce fresh insights."The implications of these findings are also practical. "My advice would be, if you need to think outside the box for a future project" , Dr. Vohs says, "Then let the clutter rise and free your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquire some of the discipline of the conscientious."The underlined word "immaculate" in paragraph 1 probably means .Which of the following can best explain the broken window theory?B.C.D.A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）Misfortune may be an actual blessing.Bad news has wings.When a door shuts, a window opens.Which of the following will Dr. Vohs probably agree with?More virtue exists in organized people.Creativity results from tidiness and discipline.Disorderly surroundings help to create new ideas.Workers' good habits guarantee the success of a project.What can we conclude from the study results?The naturally neat people tend to be very creative.A messy office will cause quite low working efficiency.Environments can affect people's way of thinking and behavior.People's personalities are determined by their working environments.四、七选五（每题2分，共5题，计10分）9.Exam AnxietyHas this ever happened to you? You've been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 1Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 2 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has "gone blank" on information you know you have revised.3 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don't review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don't try and then you fail, you won't feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? 4 Yes, this seems obvious, but it's worth repeating. If you feel confident that you've prepared thoroughly, you'll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize yourA.B.C.D.E.F.G.anxiety. 5 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating（分配） your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you'll spend on each section. If there's time to recheck, even better.The first thing you should do is to be prepared.People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you're not alone!Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.Realizing time is almost up and that there's still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.五、书面表达（共两题，35分）10.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，得知2020年第18届世界中学生运动会（World MiddleSchool Games） 将在中国福建晋江举行，组委会正面向全国招募志愿者。

A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners —which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area, a children’s paddling pool -sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.We’d been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming th rough the pain, so I tried. But it didn’t work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there —still one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn’t matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I’m hooked, and want to give it another go. I’ve already signed up for my next o pen-water swim. 24．How did the author feel before the race?A．Scared of the most challenging race.B．Disappointed by the difficult conditions.C．Concerned about the other swimmers in the race.D．Determined to be as tough as the people around her.25．Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2?A．To stress the importance of the race.B．To praise the experienced swimmers.C．To show the wide range of the participants.D．To introduce the various events of the race.26．The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that ______.A．the race would cause breathing problemsB．the race became harder than she had expectedC．it was really necessary to prepare for tough swimsD．it would have been easier if she had taken others’ advice27．What does the author talk about in the last paragraph?A．Her confidence in her own ability.B．Her pride in having swum so quickly.C．Her eagerness to repeat the experience.D．Her surprise at having managed to finish.The Alexander techniqueUntil earlier this year, I didn’t know a nything about the Alexander technique—and saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they’ll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actually have bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better.The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates,which are exercise-based. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to试卷第6页，总12页sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly.The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines.So who was Alexander and how did he come up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (声音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teacher-training school, which is still successful today.So if you’re walki ng along the road one day with shoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.28．What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1? A ．She felt no better after the treatment. B ．She got bored with the Alexander technique. C ．She was sceptical about the doctor’s method. D ．She was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache. 29．What is the principle of the Alexander technique? A ．Physical tension shouldn’t be completely reliev ed. B ．The technique shouldn’t be combined with other exercises. C ．The practice of the technique shouldn’t be attempted alone. D ．Familiar physical actions shouldn’t be done with much effort. 30．What can we learn about Frederick Alexander? A ．He managed to recover his vocal powers. B ．He was eager to make a name for himself. C ．He developed a form of exercise for actors. D ．He had to leave home to develop his technique.31．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The occurrence of back pain is widespread.B．Alexander improved the technique to treat body pain.C．The Alexander technique helps overcome posture problems.D．People with back pain are victims of inappropriate postures.Don’t put it off, do it now!Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system.Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or“pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it morelikely a task will be completed. The benefit is that yo u’ll avoid the embarrassment of not试卷第8页，总12页following up on something people are expecting you to do —telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not c areful, becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.32．What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1? A ．It is something many p eople can’t help. B ．It is an excuse people often use in public. C ．It is caused by the technology in people’s life. D ．It is more common when people have small jobs to do.33．In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should ______. A ．attempt to overcome their natural tendencies B ．take the advice of others in the same situation C ．be aware that their problem is relatively small D ．find out more about the way they make decisions34．Why does Dr. Steel recommend making “pre -commitments” in P aragraph 4? A ．They are an alternative to impossible goals. B ．They make challenges feel more manageable. C ．They are an effective way of impressing others. D ．They allow people to achieve their aims sooner.35．What does the author do by saying the underlined sentence? A ．Encourage the reader to develop plans effectively. B ．Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly. C ．Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized. D ．Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a task. 三、七选五Films and computer gamesIn just a few decades the gaming industry has become much bigger than the film business. What is called “interactive entertainment” makes more money than Hollywood cinema. Is there any way of making films more appealing to people who like to play computer games?Making a film out of a best-selling computer game can guarantee a large audience. 36．Nowadays films are made with similar ones. They have attractive action scenes relying on fantasy effects as well. Gaming markets consist of science-fiction games, and film-makers have also set films in science-fiction worlds. 37．Any attempt to borrow more than the setting from a game is certain to fail.Why do gamers feel disappointed by films based on their favorite games? One of the reasons is technical. Now everything can be computer-produced. 38．However, filming a scene from 20 different cameras would cost a fortune, so it simply isn’t done in the film version—leaving the gamers feeling that the film didn’t look as real as the computer game.39．In a film the director doesn’t show you some things to keep you have the feeling of excitement or anxiety. For example, you wouldn’t be interested in watching the film if you knew the identity of the murderer. But this is not true for computer games. When you play a game, you have to do certain tasks to continue to the new level. 40．You are always in control as a player, while in the cinema you never control the action. You just sit and watch.There can be some interaction between films and computer games on different levels. For all the similarities between technologies and special effects, we shouldn’t forget that a story and a game are fundamentally different.A．Cameras matter in another sense, too.B．The success of a game usually lies in the use of special effects.C．You can’t influence what happens at all in the computer games.D．Computer games may show the action from a number of views easily.E. The game has a good chance of being as successful as the film on which it is based.F. You must be able to have access to all the information in order to decide what to do next.G. However, the difficulty for film producers appears to be knowing where and when to stop.试卷第10页，总12页第II 卷（非选择题)请点击修改第II 卷的文字说明 四、语法填空My trip to Paris was so memorable.

2019年北京高考二模分类汇编--七选五1. 2019东城二模A cultural view on personal spaceIt’s a well-known fact that the British prefer a large “bubble” of personal space around them. 46 And in South America, a friend may grab you by the arm during conversation to make their point.Now, a study published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology has looked into why different cultures have such different approaches to personal space.47 They developed an e arlier study that divided individuals into “contact” and “non-contact” cultures. Contact cultures—southern European, Latin American and Arabian—engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non-contact cultures in northern Europe, North America and parts of Asia.To a degree, this proved correct. Argentina becomes known as the most touchy-feely nation; people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance and a Canadian individual a close friend or partner.48 They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger—more than 1.3m—but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends, just 40cm, compared to nearly 60cm for a British person. So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it sounds.49 The higher a country’s average temperature, the closer people will stand to a stranger. But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers; women generally keep a greater distance from someone they don’t know.The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do. But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada; prepare for a hug in Argentina. 50 They like to stand closer than anybody. To keep warm, perhaps.A. It’s important to get the distance right, though.B. Romanians clearly take longer to establish trust.C. How close we stand to other people varies widely between countries.D. And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian, don’t draw b ack.E. However, in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought.F. One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space.G. The study certainly found that climate, age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures.Healthy See, Healthy DoVisit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy. But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. 46The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. 47 A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.48 It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods. “We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, “Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. 49 Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines.5 The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.A. These foods give people more energy.B. They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.C. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.D. The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.E. These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.F. They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.G. And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options canchange customer behavior.Exam AnxietyHas this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 46Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 47 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.48 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? 49 Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. 50 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.Films and computer gamesIn just a few decades the gaming industry has become much bigger than the film business.

You must be able to have access to all the information in order to decide what to do next.G. However, the difficulty for film producers appears to be knowing where and when to stop.Develop Note-Taking SkillsSpeech students are often amazed at how easily their teacher can pick out a speaker’s main points, evidence, and techniques. Of course, the teacher knows what to listen for and has had plenty of practice. But the next time you get an opportunity, watch your teacher during a speech. Chances are she or he will be listening with pen and paper. 46Unfortunately, many people don’t take notes effectively. Some try to write down everything a speaker says. They view note taking as a race, pitting their handwriting agility(敏捷) against the speaker’s rate of speech. 47 But soon the speaker is winning the race. The speaker pulls so far ahead that the note taker can never catch up. Finally, the note taker admits defeat and spends the rest of the speech grumbling in frustration.48 They arrive armed with pen, notebook, and the best of intentions. They know they can’t write down everything, so they settle comfortably in their seats and wait for the speaker to say something that grabs their attention. Every once in a while the speaker rewards them with a joke, a dramatic story, or a startling fact. Then the note taker seizes pen, jots down a few words, and leans back dreamily to await the next fascinating tidbit(趣闻). By the end of the lecture the note taker has a set of tidbits—and little or no record of the speaker’s important ideas.As these examples illustrate, they don’t know what to listen for, and they don’t know how to record what they do listen for. 49 But once you know what to listen for, you still need a sound method of note taking.Although there are a number of systems, most students find the key-word outline best for listening to speeches. As its name suggests, this method briefly notes a speaker’s main points and supporting evidence in roug h outline form. By separating main points from sub-points and evidence, the outline format shows the relationships among the speaker’s ideas. 50 But with a little effort you will become a better note taker.A. Perfecting this taking requires practice.B. Some people go to the opposite extreme.C. As the speaker starts to talk, the note taker starts to write.D. Taking effective notes usually helps you receive higher grades.E. Most inefficient note takers suffer from one or both of two problems.F. When note taking is done properly, it is sure to keep track of a speaker’s ideas.G. The solution to the first problem is to focus on a speaker’s main points and evidence.Overthinking the Small Stuff?How many decisions have you made over the last day, week... month? Drive or Uber? Suit or no suit? Italian or Thai? iPhone or Huawei?While today’s freedom of choice has obvious benefits, the constant pressure to make perfect choices can often rob our freedom, heighten our anxiety and lower our productivity.46 For starters, trying to perfect every single decision is a 'mission impossible,' making it pretty in vain. 47 And finally, research shows that trying to nail every decision reduces our ability to perform at our best and make great decisions about the things that really matter.The irony is that people who try to make the perfect decision every time tend to suffer more anxiety about their decisions, feel less satisfied with them afterward and, unsurprisingly, are less p roductive than people who just go with ‘good enough’.“The habit of aiming for the best possible option every time actually robs people of satisfaction and effectiveness,” wrote Barry Schwartz on the Paradox of Choice.48 However, they're generally less happy about what they eventually decide upon.Better than trying to maximize every choice is to make a ‘good enough’ choice that meets a basic level of satisfaction.

They develop imagination, love for word and expression and awaken a wish in you to create something.

We may just want to get the general idea from a newspaper article, a report, or a book in a bookshop.

2019年北京高考二模分类汇编--七选五1. 2019东城二模A cultural view on personal spaceIt’s a well-known fact that the British prefer a large “bubble” of personal space around them. 46 And in South America, a friend may grab you by the arm during conversation to make their point.Now, a study published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology has looked into why different cultures have such different approaches to personal space.47 They developed an e arlier study that divided individuals into “contact” and “non-contact” cultures. Contact cultures—southern European, Latin American and Arabian—engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non-contact cultures in northern Europe, North America and parts of Asia.To a degree, this proved correct. Argentina becomes known as the most touchy-feely nation; people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance and a Canadian individual a close friend or partner.48 They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger—more than 1.3m—but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends, just 40cm, compared to nearly 60cm for a British person. So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it sounds.49 The higher a country’s average temperature, the closer people will stand to a stranger. But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers; women generally keep a greater distance from someone they don’t know.The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do. But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada; prepare for a hug in Argentina. 50 They like to stand closer than anybody. To keep warm, perhaps.A. It’s important to get the distance right, though.B. Romanians clearly take longer to establish trust.C. How close we stand to other people varies widely between countries.D. And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian, don’t draw b ack.E. However, in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought.F. One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space.G. The study certainly found that climate, age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures.Healthy See, Healthy DoVisit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy. But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. 46The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. 47 A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.48 It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods. “We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, “Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. 49 Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines.5 The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.A. These foods give people more energy.B. They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.C. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.D. The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.E. These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.F. They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.G. And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options canchange customer behavior.Exam AnxietyHas this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 46Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 47 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.48 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? 49 Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. 50 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.Films and computer gamesIn just a few decades the gaming industry has become much bigger than the film business. What is called “interactive entertainment” makes more money than Hollywood cinema. Is there any way of making films more appealing to people who like to play computer games?Making a film out of a best-selling computer game can guarantee a large audience. ___46___ Nowadays films are made with similar ones. They have attractive action scenes relying on fantasy effects as well. Gaming markets consist of science-fiction games, and film-makers have also set films in science-fiction worlds. ___47___ Any attempt to borrow more than the setting from a game is certain to fail.Why do gamers feel disappointed by films based on their favorite games? One of the reasons is technical. Now everything can be computer-produced. ___48___ However, filming a scene from 20 different cameras would cost a fortune, so it simply isn’t done in the film version—leaving the gamers feeling that the film didn’t look as real as the computer game.___49___ In a film the director doesn’t show you some things to keep you have the feeling of excitement or anxiety. For example, you wouldn’t be interested in watching the film if you knew the identity of the murderer. But this is not true for computer games. When you play a game, you have to do certain tasks to continue to the new level. ___50___ You are always in control as a player, while in the cinema you never control the action. You just sit and watch.There can be some interaction between films and computer games on different levels. For all the similarities between technologies and special effects, we shouldn’t forget that a story and a game are fundamentally different.A. Cameras matter in another sense, too.B. The success of a game usually lies in the use of special effects.C. You can’t influence what happens at all in the computer games.D. Computer games may show the action from a number of views easily.E. The game has a good chance of being as successful as the film on which it is based.F. You must be able to have access to all the information in order to decide what to do next.G. However, the difficulty for film producers appears to be knowing where and when to stop.Develop Note-Taking SkillsSpeech students are often amazed at how easily their teacher can pick out a speaker’s main points, evidence, and techniques. Of course, the teacher knows what to listen for and has had plenty of practice. But the next time you get an opportunity, watch your teacher during a speech. Chances are she or he will be listening with pen and paper. 46Unfortunately, many people don’t take notes effectively. Some try to write down everything a speaker says. They view note taking as a race, pitting their handwriting agility(敏捷) against the speaker’s rate of speech. 47 But soon the speaker is winning the race. The speaker pulls so far ahead that the note taker can never catch up. Finally, the note taker admits defeat and spends the rest of the speech grumbling in frustration.48 They arrive armed with pen, notebook, and the best of intentions. They know they can’t write down everything, so they settle comfortably in their seats and wait for the speaker to say something that grabs their attention. Every once in a while the speaker rewards them with a joke, a dramatic story, or a startling fact. Then the note taker seizes pen, jots down a few words, and leans back dreamily to await the next fascinating tidbit(趣闻). By the end of the lecture the note taker has a set of tidbits—and little or no record of the speaker’s important ideas.As these examples illustrate, they don’t know what to listen for, and they don’t know how to record what they do listen for. 49 But once you know what to listen for, you still need a sound method of note taking.Although there are a number of systems, most students find the key-word outline best for listening to speeches. As its name suggests, this method briefly notes a speaker’s main points and supporting evidence in roug h outline form. By separating main points from sub-points and evidence, the outline format shows the relationships among the speaker’s ideas. 50 But with a little effort you will become a better note taker.A. Perfecting this taking requires practice.B. Some people go to the opposite extreme.C. As the speaker starts to talk, the note taker starts to write.D. Taking effective notes usually helps you receive higher grades.E. Most inefficient note takers suffer from one or both of two problems.F. When note taking is done properly, it is sure to keep track of a speaker’s ideas.G. The solution to the first problem is to focus on a speaker’s main points and evidence.Overthinking the Small Stuff?How many decisions have you made over the last day, week... month? Drive or Uber?
