Art exploration is not only fun and entertaining, but also educational. It allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning. Here are some tips for growing your up-and-coming artist.
Talk with your child about their work. ____16____. When we ask “What is it?”, we are saying that it should look like something we’d recognize. Instead, ask open-ended questions like “Tell me about your picture.” You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “You’re making short lines. I see you are using red, green and blue.”
Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions. ____17____. If your child concentrates on what you are drawing or how “good” your picture is, they are less likely to be imaginative and creative on their own.
____18____. Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imaginations. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times-this is all part of the creative process.
Support, don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else?  ____19____. So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. Maybe they want to peel (剥) the paper off a crayon and use it lengthwise on the paper, instead of writing with the tip.
Get your child creating and learning. ____20____.
A．It is the same case with kids
B．Keep the process open-ended
C．Don’t shift their focus onto their drawings
D．It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawings
E．Focus on the product, not the complex process
F．All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind
G．Make big or small lines, or practice drawing circles
【答案】16．D    17．G    18．B    19．A    20．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章作者认为艺术探索不仅具有趣味性和娱乐性，而且具有教育意义，并介绍了一些培养孩子艺术探索的技巧。
16．根据段首句“Talk with your child about their work.(和孩子谈谈他们的作品。)”可知，本段主要提供读者一些技巧关于如何谈论孩子的作品；再根据下文“When we ask “What is it? ”, we are saying that it should look like something we’d recognize.  Instead, ask open-ended questions like “Tell me about your picture.”  You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “You’re making short lines.  I see you are using red, green and blue.”(当我们问“这是什么?”，我们是说它应该看起来像我们能认出来的东西。相反，问一些开放式的问题，比如“说说你的照片吧。”你也可以描述你的孩子正在做的具体事情，比如，“你在画短线。我看到你在用红色、绿色和蓝色。”)”可知，孩子的作品很难去解读。选项D“It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawings (通常很难理解孩子的画)”与下文内容一致。故选D。
17．根据上文“Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions.(做你孩子做的事。与其自己画图画，不如坐下来和孩子一起做他们的动作。)”可知，作者建议读者模仿孩子正在做的事情。选项G“Make big or small lines, or practice drawing circles (画或大或小的线，或练习画圆)”与上文内容一致，指的是模仿孩子正在做的事。故选G。
18．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imaginations. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times-this is all part of the creative process.(与其坐下来在脑海中制定一个具体的计划或结果，不如让你的孩子去探索、实验和发挥他们的想象力。他们可能会搞得一团糟，或者几次改变主意——这些都是创意过程的一部分。)”可知，作者建议读者不要预先制定计划，而是让孩子自己去探索整个过程。选项B“Keep the process open-ended(保持过程的开放性)”与下文内容一致。故选B。
19．根据空前“Support, don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else?(支持，而不是领导。你是否注意到，当别人告诉你一些事情时，这些事情就变得不那么有趣了?)”可知，如果别人告诉你一些事，这些事就没意思了；再根据空后“So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. (所以让他们决定他们想要使用什么材料，如何使用以及何时使用。)”可知，也不要告诉孩子该做什么。选项A“It is the same case with kids (孩子也是一样)”承上启下，既承接上文表示孩子也不喜欢你告诉他们该做什么，又引出下文让孩子自行决定做什么。故选A。
20．根据空前“Get your child creating and learning.(让你的孩子创造和学习。)”可知，作者鼓励读者让自己的孩子去创造和学习；选项F“All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind(你所需要的只是一把画笔和一个开放的思想)”延续上文内容。故选F。

Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes. ____16____
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active, to focusing only on the scale. The original training program is beneficial for me to develop muscle. ____17____  However, thinking only of lowering the number on the scale, I changed my training program.
I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. ____18____ Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. Weighing every other month allows me to observe and account for any significant weight changes. ____19____ I use my bimonthly weigh-in results to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly hungry and dropping weight, this is a sign that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
____20____ I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.
Rather than obsessing over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.
A．That was bad to my overall fitness goals.
B．Muscles rely on more than just activity to grow.
C．I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.
D．For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.
E．That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.
F．The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.
G．However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.
【答案】16．G    17．C    18．D    19．E    20．F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者的经历告诉读者过于关注体重有时会适得其反，人们应该更关注自己的感觉以及整体的精神面貌。
16．根据上文“Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes.(定期称重是一种很好的方法，可以随时了解体重的变化)”结合下文作者提到每天称重的负面影响推知，空处内容与上文为转折关系，指出过于频繁称重也有不好的影响。G项“However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.(然而，如果经常这样做，这个习惯有时会弊大于利)”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。
17．根据上文“The original training program is beneficial for me to develop muscle.(最初的训练计划有利于我发展肌肉)”并结合常识可知，前期肌肉的发展会导致体重增加。C项“I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.(在大量肌肉形成前，我的体重增加了)”符合语境。故选C。
18．根据上文“I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. (我发现，每天称重并不能准确描述我在健身房的努力和进步。由于训练计划的改变，大约需要三周到一个月的时间才能注意到体重的显著变化。最直接的变化将在技能水平、力量和损失的英寸数上观察到)”和下文“Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. (相反，我改成每两个月称重的计划)”可知，每天称重不能准确描述作者的努力和进步，因为大约需要三周到一个月的时间才能注意到体重的显著变化；由此推知作者停止了每天称重的计划，改成了每两个月称重。D项“For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.(出于这些原因，我停止了每天称重)”符合题意，these reasons指代上文提到的内容。故选D。
19．根据上文“Weighing every other month allows me to observe and account for any significant weight changes.(每隔一个月称一次体重可以让我观察和解释任何显著的体重变化)”可推知，空处应陈述作者可以根据体重是否有显著变化来调节训练计划。E项“That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.(这告诉我是否需要调整我的训练计划)”符合题意。故选E。
20．根据下文“I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.(我对锻炼的热情越来越高，因为我再也不用背负早晨令人失望的体重负担了。在实现特定的健身目标方面，我也经历了更大的成功，因为我是根据这些目标而不是体重秤上的数字来训练的)”可知，停止每天称重给作者带来了好处。F项“The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.(停止每天称体重的决定已经产生了很多奇迹)”符合题意，引出下文。故选F。

3.【江苏省通泰镇徐连宿淮7市2023年高三下学期联考试卷】
People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded. ____36____ The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your sleep that might just work.
____37____ There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks rather than tomorrow.
Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won’t be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don’t pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting — the details don’t matter. And don’t take naps (小睡) in the day. ____38____
Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you tum the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. ____39____ Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow.
Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse. ____40____ Make this the last article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.
A．Try to stay awake at night.
B．In fact, it is actively punished.
C．Give up trying to sleep tonight.
D．So give sleep less of your attention.
E．They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.
F．It doesn’t have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.
G．You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.
【答案】36．B    37．C    38．E    39．F    40．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些可能有效改善睡眠的方法。
36．根据前文“People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded.(人们尝试了各种方法来获得更多的睡眠。但与生活中几乎所有其他领域不同的是，努力是没有回报的。)”可知，此处强调的是人们尽管通过各种方法获得睡眠，但并非总是有效的。根据后文“The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. (你越努力，成功的可能性就越小。)”可知，越是积极地努力，成功的可能性越小。故设空处应该强调的是付出的种种努力没有得到回报，反而得到了消极的惩罚。B选项“In fact, it is actively punished. (事实上，它受到了积极的惩罚。)”承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
37．本题为本段的段旨。根据后文“There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month.(从现在到就寝时间，你做什么都不能保证你今晚能睡得着。然而，你可以开始做很多事情来提高你下个月睡得好的机会。)”可知，此处强调不要为当下的睡眠做出积极的准备，因为从现在到就寝时间，你所做的事情不一定能保证你能睡着。所以应该放弃尝试今晚睡觉，可以在未来的时间中为睡眠作积极的准备。C选项“Give up trying to sleep tonight.(放弃尝试今晚睡觉。)”符合语境。故选C。
38．根据前文“ And don’t take naps (小睡) in the day.(不要在白天打盹。)”可知，此处指出白天不要小睡，后文应该指出这样做的结果。E选项“They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.(它们会降低你的睡眠欲望。)”承接前文，指出白天打盹会降低夜晚睡眠的欲望，不易睡眠。故选E。
39．根据前文“Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you tum the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. (微笑可以减少紧张，促进放松。当你在晚上熄灯时，试着想一些有趣的事情，在黑暗中对自己微笑。)”可知，微笑可以缓解压力，有助于睡眠。根据后文“Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow. (即使是一个假笑也足以向大脑传递一个信息，改变你的情绪，重新训练大脑，让它适应清醒的状态，从而减少紧张，让睡眠随之而来。)”可知，此处强调即使睡前的假笑也能给大脑传递信息，放松情绪有助于睡眠。因此设空处应该引出此话题，即不一定是发自内心的笑即假笑也会产生积极的作用。F选项“It doesn’t have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.(不一定是真诚的，发自内心的微笑。)”引起下文，符合题意。故选F。
40．根据前文“In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse.(事实上，不断地寻找解决方案无疑会让事情变得更糟。)”可知，不断地寻求解决睡眠的方案可能会起到反作用，更让自己睡不着，因此设空处应该指出解决方案。D选项“So give sleep less of your attention.(所以少睡觉吧。)”承接前文。故选D。

4.【广东省5地2022-2023学年高三联考试题】
Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. ____16____ This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
____17____ Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. ____18____
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. ____19____
This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. ____20____ What one minute change can you make to your life today?
A．The key is to change a little bit at a time.
B．Keeping on exercising can build up strength.
C．It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed.
D．Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal.
E．Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed.
F．Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear.
G．Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved.
【答案】16．E    17．A    18．C    19．F    20．G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何养成好习惯的方法。
16．根据上文“Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. (我们的生活充满了习惯。不幸的是，其中很多都是坏习惯。打破这些坏习惯的一个方法是让我们的生活充满好习惯。大多数人有一天决定，他们需要改变自己的生活，然后他们全力以赴，做出彻底的改变。这可能在最初几天对他们有用，但之后他们就会筋疲力尽。)”可知，做出巨大改变可能在最初几天对他们有用，但随后他们就会筋疲力尽。接下来应该进一步解释，很快他们又恢复了原来的习惯，一切都没有改变。选项E“很快，他们又回到了原来的习惯，什么都没有改变。”和上文意思一致。故选E。
17．根据下文“Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (说你的目标是每天早起一小时。有一天，你开始提前一个小时设置闹钟，并保持一周。然后，因为你天生抗拒改变，你又回到了旧习惯。更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，这一段介绍改变坏习惯需要一点点做。选项A“关键是一次改变一点点。”和下文意思一致。故选A。
18．根据上文“A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，坏习惯要一点点改变，所以需要的时间应该会很长。选项C“这可能需要更长的时间，但通过这种方法，你很可能会成功。”和上文意思一致。故选C。
19．根据上文“This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. (这种方法几乎适用于任何事情。如果你每天锻炼半小时，你想把时间增加到一小时，那么每天增加一分钟。一个月后，你的身体和思想几乎没有抵抗力，你就达到了目标。)”可知，这一段进一步讲述一点点改变坏习惯的好处。选项F“慢慢地改变会消除我们必须改变的最大障碍：恐惧。”和上文意思一致。故选F。
20．根据上文“This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. (这种改变的方法是温和的，但非常强大。想想如果你一次只不断进步一点点，你能完成的一切。变化本身创造了你继续前进所需的动力。)”可知，这一段是用鼓励性的语言总结一点点温和改变坏习惯的好处。选项G“很快你就会发现自己在几乎没有痛苦的情况下实现了目标。”呼应上文讲温和改变坏习惯的好处。故选G。

Whoever wrote the song  “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. ___16___ . Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
___17___
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response— no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse, so trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects.
Let out sadness
The results of the bus -driver study can be explained by researchers. who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. ___18___ . We don’t like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. ___19___. A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety,  and may even carry physiological benefits.
Enjoy a mix of emotions
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well -being. ___20___. Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.
A．Don’t force cheer
B．Relax your mind
C．We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside
E．In other words, sadness, anger,  and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear
F．When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once
G．The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid
【答案】16．G    17．A    18．D    19．F    20．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了心理学家们建议的几种应对忧郁情绪的方式。
16．根据空后“Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life.”（相反，他们可以促成一个健康开心的生活）可知，此处的they为代词，刚好与G选项的“The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid”（重点是悲伤和其他悲观的情绪不是我们应该努力避免的）中提到的负面情绪对应，符合语义逻辑，故选G项。
17．根据空后首句“At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face.”（在与你私下无法忍受的堂兄弟姐妹的聚会上，你往往带上一个微笑面具）可知，此段讲的是强迫自己开心，A选项的“Don’t force cheer”（不要强迫振奋），符合本段语义逻辑，故选A项。
18．根据空后句“We don’t like contradictory behavior.”（我们不喜欢矛盾的行为），D选项的“We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside”（当我们的外在表现与我们内心的真实感受冲突时，我们感觉不好）刚好详细解释了什么是矛盾的行为，符合语义逻辑，故选D项。
19．根据空后句“A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience”（一个对于消极事件的谨慎应对会减少我们经历的悲伤）可知, 此处讲的是应对消极事件，F选项的“When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once”（当你小心翼翼地应对一个情绪触发事件时，你不是选择立刻应对，而是让自己暂时停下来），符合语义逻辑，故选F项。
20．根据空前“but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well -being”（但是最重要的需要记住的教训是这些情绪也许是对你的总体幸福最好的东西），刚好与E选项的“In other words, sadness, anger and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear”（换句话说，悲伤，生气和其他一些让你感到困难的情绪没什么好害怕的）构成同义解释关系，故选E项。

We spend most of the year complaining that Britain is too cold and wet but gripe (抱怨) with just as much enthusiasm about the heat. Although moaning about the weather is satisfying, it’s better to take action and cool yourself down. You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃. ____36____
Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. ____37____ People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions) and those who work outside need extra protection in hot weather.
Research shows that putting your feet in cold water is a good way to reduce core body temperature and keep your organs working. It will also help reduce swelling in your ankles and feet.
____38____ However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold water as cold shock can be dangerous. In drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on cooling either your feet, hands or neck and face, which will also be effective.
It is important to stay hydrated (补充水分) and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat. On average in very hot conditions we sweat 3-4 litres per hour and up to 10 litres a day, the same as 40 cups of tea. For a short amount of time, hot drinks raise your core body temperature. But it induces sweating, which then lowers your temperature. Cold and ice drinks do cool you down too. It’s thought hot drinks might be slightly more effective than cold. ____39____
Another way to beat the heat is wild swimming. ____40____ Slowly submerge (淹没) your body in the water, understand the limits of your swimming ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many people drown in hot weather.
A．But be aware of cold shock.
B．Some people are more fragile to heat.
C．You will definitely be ill with the icy drinks.
D．Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.
E．Heatwaves can leave you desperate to cool down.
F．This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.
G．Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you down faster.
【答案】36．F    37．B    38．G    39．D    40．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在英国如何避暑。
36．分析设空，空处位于段尾，应是对前文的总结或者回答，根据前文“You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃.(在英国，当气温达到24℃时，你需要格外小心)”可知，F项“This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.(这是中暑疾病和死亡人数开始增加的时候)”可知，F选项中的“This is when”和上文中的“when temperatures hit 24℃”照应。并且该选项讲述了高温的危害，即导致疾病和死亡，进而跟下文段首句“Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. (太热会让你身体不适，甚至会致命)”进行了衔接。故选F项。
37．根据前文“Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you.(太热会让你身体不适，甚至会致命)”以及后文“People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions) and those who work outside need extra protection in hot weather.(65岁以上、5岁以下、孕妇、有疾病(如心脏病和精神疾病)的人以及在室外工作的人在炎热的天气下需要额外的保护)”可知，空处是一个过渡句，由结论过渡到具体的例子，所以B项“Some people are more fragile to heat.(有些人更容易受热)”符合文意。故选B项。
38．分析设空，位于段首，应是本段的中心句，根据后文“However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold water as cold shock can be dangerous. In drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on cooling either your feet, hands or neck and face, which will also be effective.(然而，不要试图完全浸泡在冰冷的水中，因为冷休克是危险的。在干旱的情况下，记得节约用水，只专注于冷却你的脚、手或脖子和脸，这也会很有效)”可知，本段在讲通过淋浴或泡澡来避暑，所以G项“Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you down faster.(此外，淋浴或泡澡会让你更快地凉快下来)”符合文意。故选G项。
39．分析设空，空处位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“It is important to stay hydrated and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat.(重要的是要保持水分，补充我们出汗时失去的矿物质)”可知，本段主要讲述要多喝水来避暑，所以D项“Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.(不管温度是多少，都要多喝水)”和本文主题相呼应，符合文意。故选D项。
40．根据前文“Another way to beat the heat is wild swimming.(另一种消暑的方法是游泳)”可知，本段主要讲通过游泳来避暑，再根据后文“Slowly submerge your body in the water, understand the limits of your swimming ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many people drown in hot weather.(慢慢地把你的身体浸入水中，了解你游泳能力的极限，并知道在哪里游泳是安全的，因为许多人在炎热的天气会溺水)”可知，后文主要讲述了游泳时的注意事项，所以A项“But be aware of cold shock.(但是要注意冷休克)”符合本段内容。故选A项。

We all know shopping is torturing men, who painfully stand behind their girlfriends or wives until  they are done with their shopping, and affecting the bank balance.（购物对你的健康有好处。这是官方的！我们都知道购物是在折磨男人，他们痛苦地站在女友或妻子身后直到他们完成购物，影响到银行余额）”可知，本段讲述购物对健康有好处，接着讲到了购物使男人痛苦，因此设空处在符合本段主旨的前提下需和上一句呈转折关系，即购物使男人痛苦，但却令女人开心。F项“But we may ignore that shopping can help improve your mental and physical health.”与前一句购物使男人痛苦为转折关系，同时与购物对健康有好处这一观点一致。故选F项。
32．上文“When we go shopping, we feel good about ourselves and the place.（当我们去购物时，我们对自己和这个地方感觉很好）”可知，购物的地方可以让人心情愉悦，并且购物会使自我感觉良好。A项“It is the simplest way to raise our self-worth.”和上文一致，说明购物是提高自我价值的好方法。故选A项。
33．上文“Scientists have found that women spend an average of 4 hours on shopping during a week（科学家发现，女性一周平均花4小时购物）”以及下文“Although most women do not realize or look at it as a formal form of exercise, it is definitely an effective form of exercise and it requires less motivation.（尽管大多数女性并没有意识到或将其视为一种正式的锻炼形式，但它绝对是一种有效的锻炼方式，而且需要较少的动力）”可知，设空处需要是能够表明女性周平均购物4小时称得上是锻炼的证据。E项“They walk more than 70 miles per week, using up nearly 200 calories per trip.”讲到了每周购物所走的里程以及消耗的能量，此句是女性周平均购物4小时算是锻炼的证据，符合文意。故选E项。

35．上文“it is good to reward yourself occasionally with all those things you fancy.（偶尔用你喜欢的东西来奖励自己是好的）”说明购物是个自我奖励的好方法。因此，在上文讲到了这个鼓励自己的好方法之后，D项“So, the next time you are depressed about something, you know what to do.(所以，下次你对某事感到沮丧时，你知道该怎么做)”和上文相呼应，给出了下次为某件事沮丧时，可以选择购物来鼓励自己的这一好方法。故选D项。
