（2022·广东·执信中学模拟预测）How to Have an Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance, and demonstrating an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships. ______1______The following tips help foster your ability to fascinate others.
lLaugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you’re comfortable in your skin. A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. ______2______ It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but don’t ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
lSpeak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. ______3______ For instance, if you don’t like your friend’s shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it’s ugly.”  
l______4______ If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you’ll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel drained.
lHave confidence in your body. You don’t have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place posters around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body. _______5_______

Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. ____16____ They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience.

A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They’re thinking about how to solve the problem.
_____17_____ when we learn to problem solve for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.

1.___27___ You’ve heard how dogs pick up on sounds that the human ear can’t hear. Well, it turns out we pick up on certain tones too, human to human. Simply put, lower, richer tones are more pleasing to us than higher, thin ones.
2. Take on a Powerful Pose. Research by social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows that standing or sitting a certain way triggers immediate changes in your body chemistry.___28___ Besides, it can influence how others respond to you.
3. Make Eye Contact, But Not Too Much. There is such a thing as too much eye contact. You don’t want to be   rude, but you also want to look like you care. Always make sure to use more eye contact when you are listening than I when you are speaking.
4. Use Your Hands to Improve Speech. If you want to get your point across more effectively, try incorporating I some hand gestures while you speak.___29___ Speech-associated gestures have been approved to help listeners stay focused and attentive.
Now you can be the person appearing more successful in and out of the boardroom. Remember - it’s not always what you say verbally that activates your listeners.___30___.
A．Lower Tones Matter.
B．Mind Your Vocal Tone.
C．This can make you appear more confident.
D．It is time for your body to do some of the talking.

G．Not only will they make yourself understood, they also keep the listeners engaged.

（2022·广东·深圳外国语学校模拟预测）Last week the electricity in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea, when all of a sudden I was surrounded by complete darkness. I tried to fix it but failed. I had to wait for an electrician to come in the morning. ___31___
I sat down to eat my half - cooked dinner. And then I wasn’t really sure what to do. My typical evening is spent watching the TV and looking through social media.___32___ So for me it was an early night. And I couldn’t help but think, do we rely too much on electricity? That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity. As basic as running water.___33___ I use electricity all the lime, even when it’s not really necessary.
___34___. It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy we will soon run out.
So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting back on our use of electricity would make losing it easier, and also save energy resources so that they could last for longer.___35___ And if everyone does the same, we can make a big difference.
A．Tonight this wasn’t possible.
B．Obviously, we can’t survive without it.
C．Our over-use of electricity is a big problem.
D．This left me a whole night without any electricity.

（2022·河南·模拟预测）Whether we’re making small talk with a waiter, or meeting up with a close friend, we may hope to make a connection, only to leave the conversation feeling that our minds have failed to meet. ___36___.
Ask questions
If you want to have a meaningful dialogue with someone, then you should make the effort to ask some questions. ___37___. A follow-up that requires more information about a previous point is more appealing than a “switch” that changes topic, or a “mirror” that simply copies what someone has already asked you.
Be cautious about empathy(同理心)
We are often told to place ourselves in other people’s shoes. But our empathy is rarely as accurate as we think it is. ___38___. “It’s when I’m using my own experience, my own mental states, as a representative of yours,” says Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioural science. “And we fail to differentiate sufficiently between the two.” In general, it’s far better to ask someone what they actually think and feel than trying to guess it.
Favor familiarity over originality
___39___? The drawback of novelty arises from the “informational gaps” in our conversation. If we are talking about something completely new, our audience may not have enough knowledge to understand everything that we are saying. If we are talking about something already familiar to our audience, however, the listeners can fill in those gaps themselves.
Don't be afraid to go deep
This need for common ground should not limit our conversation to dull small talk. ___40___. And most people appreciate the chance to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings, even if they are talking to perfect strangers.
When practicing each of these steps, you should always remain conscious of the other person’s mood and comfort. With a little strategy, sensitivity and a genuine interest in the people around you, you may often find that greater social connection is easily within your reach.
A．One reason for this is being self-centered
B．But not all questions are equally appealing
C．If this rings true for you, help may be at hand
D．How about our choices for the topic of conversation
E．That will make us become a considerate and sympathetic person
F．Why do people tend to talk with each other about the things they both like
G．On the contrary, many shared human experiences can be incredibly meaningful

（2022·河南·三模）What causes depression? According to the Mayo Clinic, some of the “causes” may be due to troubled relationships. Others may be depressed as a result of threats of bullying or cyberbullying. ____41____ Even worse, physical and mental abuse or natural and human—caused disasters can impact one’s mental state.
____42____ Other symptoms are difficulty concentrating, feeling overwhelming stress, missing school, desire to be alone, etc. If you match a lot of the feelings above, then you may be depressed and should seek help.
____43____ Regular sleep, exercise, and healthy eating are some simple ways to lift the fog of depression. Try to say good things to yourself and others. ____44____ You can write something encouraging or positive on post—it notes and hang them up in a private place. You can also say things like, “Make someone smile & do the extra mile!” or “Have an attitude of gratitude!”
Take a break from life with a bike ride, a walk in the park, a hike in nature. You can do whatever makes you happy: write a journal about your feelings, listen to uplifting music or play video games. Finally, try not to wait until the last minute on projects. ____45____

（2022·河南·模拟预测）You can be hurt by other people in life. That is a fact. And some of those hurts can even leave scars that affect how you think, act and relate to others.___46___Withdraw into a shell, hide in a cave, and isolate(孤立) yourself from others. Definitely not. You can make a different choice to make painful circumstances direct you to a new path.
Remember you can’t please every single person especially a critical one.___47___ Some are praying for rain, while others are praying for sunshine. You shouldn’t be replaying hurtful statements made to you. Additionally, it’s foolish to attempt what is impossible.
___48___ We live in a society where we don’t get a whole lot of approval. It is not wise of you to do all sorts of crazy things trying to win a smile from some people too cold to ever give it. So refuse to play the game. Don’t waste any energy trying to convince unpleasable, disapproving people that you are a great person.___49___
Refuse to fight back. When we are hurt, the instant reaction is to fight back. ___50___ Instead, you can pray for the other person. It will help both of you. Be an actor, not a reactor.
It cannot be denied that dealing with other people effectively is one of the most important things you can learn in life. After you’ve mastered that you’re about 95 percent down the road to finding happiness.
A．No one can do that.
B．Choose emotionally healthy friends.

（2022·北京市第一三二中学一模）How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. ____51____ Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. ____52____ In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right significantly more than other participants did—even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping”?Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and nonjumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. ____53____
It is the controlled system that helps people counter balance mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
____54____ A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our gut is a frequent and important one. ____55____ Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.
A．Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B．Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C．But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D．It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.
E．We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F．The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.
G．Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.

【导语】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Spanx的创始人Sara Blakely的故事来告诉我们该如何对待失败。Sara Blakely的父亲重新定义了失败，他让孩子明白，失败并不是最终结果，而只是缺乏尝试。失败没有定义我们，而是让我们成长，让我们脱离舒适区并变成一个更优秀的人。
11．
根据上文“Failure is an important process you can learn from.(失败是一个重要的过程，你可以从中学习)”可知，上文提出失败重要的是过程，从中学习，推测本句承接上文继续说明失败的重要意义：这意味着你尽力了。故A选项“最重要的是，这意味着你尽力了”符合语境，故选A。
12．
根据上文“Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs.(大多数人认为应该不惜一切代价避免失败)”以及后文“It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.(也许是我们的试卷得了个“F”，或者是父母对我们寄予的厚望阻止了我们去尝试)”可知，人们认为失败是生活中无论如何都要避免的东西，后几句讲述的是我们小时候的一些失败，故推测本句在讲人们对失败的看法，故G选项“我们往往把失败和我们小时候的糟糕经历联系起来”符合语境，故选G。

(它更多的是关于学习，而不是一个人的弱点)”可知，空前说，失败并非结果，而是一种不愿尝试的想法，讲的是失败的定义；空后说，失败更多是关于吸取教训，而非个人弱点，讲的也是失败的定义。此外，这种失败的定义让Sara脱离了自己的舒适圈，所以这里在说Sara父亲重新定义的失败对Sara的影响。故C选项“在现实中，Sara的父亲重新定义了失败”符合语境，故选C。
15．
根据上文“If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone.(如果我们把失败看成软弱，我们就会避免走出自己的舒适区)”以及后文“It does not define us, but instead matures us.

挖空处在段首，有可能是段落的主旨句。而后面“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”主要说的是“being resourceful”带来的好处， E选项意思就是resourcefulness 能带来很多好处。故选E。
18．
该段首句说的是“being resourceful”会对你有好处，前面两句“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(...它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”具体列举了“being resourceful”带来的好处，A选项：你还能知道你所擅长的是什么，对自己更加了解，也契合下一句“This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.这能提高自尊心。这是又一个好处，A项最符合语境。故选A。
19．
该段在讨论遇到困难时，要专注于问题本身，并列出了具体的步骤。上一句“Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can.(接下来，想出尽可能多的方法来解决问题)”讲的是“尽可能多地想出一些解决措施”，G选项：然后衡量它们的好坏，选出最佳的一个，其中them指代上一句solutions，G项填到此处最合适。故选G。
20．
上一句“And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.(记住，如果你有一个棘手的问题，你无法解决，然后向一个值得信任的成年人寻求帮助)”表示自己实在解决不了，你还可以求助其他人，D选项意为“没有人是被期望要独自解决所有问题的”，与上文意义一致。故填D。

这是一篇记叙文。一场突如其来的停电让作者意识到电的宝贵，也使作者开始反思自己浪费电的行为。作者决定从自己做起，开始节约用电。
31．上面内容提到突然停电，“我”想修但没修好，D选项“这使我一个晚上都没有电”是上面内容的结果。故选D。
32．上一句提到：平时，我都是通过看电视，浏览社交媒体来度过晚上的（My typical evening is spent watching the TV and looking through social media），下一句提到：所以，对我而言，今天晚上是一个很早的晚上（So for me it was an early night）；A选项“今天晚上，这不可能了”是停电后的结果，承上启下。故选A。
33．上一句提到，电像自来水一样是必需的（As basic as running water），下一句提到：我一直使用电，甚至当真的没必要的时候（我也用电）（I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary）。F选项“但是，我们把电当成了理所当然的东西”符合上下文逻辑，承上启下，故选F。
34．下一句提到：它导致了全球变暖。再结合上一段末提到的自己浪费电的情况可知，该空应指浪费电的这种现象。故C选项“我们过度使用电，这是一个大问题。”承上启下，故选C。
35．由下一句提到的“And if everyone does the same”可知，该句应当提到需要做什么，故G选项“我知道我能削减对电的使用”符合上下文逻辑，故选G。
【点睛】七选五解题技巧：线索法。
线索法，就是在空格前后圈定线索词，然后在选项中查找该线索词的原词或反义词复现。线索词主要包括代词、名词（尤其是时间、地点、名称等专有名词）、数词、动词等。在第一小题中，上一句提到的“我只得第二天上午找电工”。很明显，当天晚上作者只能在没电的情况下过一晚上了。由此可知，D选项正确。D选项中的This代指上文提到的停电，且只能第二天找电工这个情况。

本文是一篇说明文。生活中我们可能会被其他人伤害。其中一些伤害甚至会留下伤疤，影响我们的想法、行为和与他人的关系。本文提出了一些适当的方法来面对和处理可能会遇到或已经遇到的伤害。
46．
根据前文“You can be hurt by other people in life. That is a fact. And some of those hurts can even leave scars that affect how you think, act and relate to others.(生活中你可能会被其他人伤害。这是事实。其中一些伤害甚至会留下伤疤，影响你的想法、行为和与他人的关系。)”可知我们在生活中可能会受到其他人的伤害，结合下文“Withdraw into a shell, hide in a cave, and isolate(孤立) yourself from others. Definitely not.(躲进一个壳里，躲进一个洞里，把自己和别人隔离开来。绝对不要。)”可知此处列举了一些应对伤害的方法，并且否定了这些方法，由此可知，空处应提问“那么你如何处理那些让你陷入抑郁的人呢?”，F项符合文意，故选F项。
47．
根据上一句“Remember you can’t please every single person especially a critical one.(记住，你不可能取悦每一个人，尤其是那些挑剔的人。)”结合下一句“Some are praying for rain, while others are praying for sunshine. (一些人在祈求下雨，而另一些人在祈求阳光。)”可知取悦所有人是不可能的，所以A项“没人能做到。”适合放在本空，承上启下，故选A项。
48．
根据下文“We live in a society where we don’t get a whole lot of approval.It is not wise of you to do all sorts of crazy things trying to win a smile from some people too cold to ever give it.(我们生活在一个没有得到太多认可的社会。你做各种疯狂的事情去赢得那些冷漠的人的微笑是不明智的。)”可知此处表达我们不需要努力到去获得所有人的认可，D项“要知道，你并不需要别人的认可才能快乐。”符合文意，故选D项。
49．
根据前文“Don’t waste any energy trying to convince unpleasable, disapproving people that you are a great person.(不要浪费精力去说服那些不喜欢你、不赞成你的人，你是一个很棒的人。)”结合第三小题答案D选项即本段的主旨“要知道，你并不需要别人的认可才能快乐。”可知，我们可以自己选择快乐的方式，成为快乐的人。所以E项“你应该坚定地相信，你是快乐的，因为你选择了快乐。”符合文意，故选E项。
50．
根据本段第一句“Refuse to fight back. (拒绝反击。)”可知本段的主旨是建议我们不要反击，结合下文“Instead, you can pray for the other person. It will help both of you. Be an actor, not a reactor.(相反，你可以为对方祈祷。这对你们俩都有好处。做一个行动者，而不是一个回应者。)”可知，在我们的第一反应想要回击的时候只会把我们变得和对手一样不成熟，并没有任何好处，所以G项“然而，反击只会把你降低到对手的不成熟水平。”符合文意，内容承上启下并且符合本段的主旨，短语striking back对应主题句中的fight back，故选G项。

这是一篇说明文。文章指出相较于按照直觉行事，深思熟虑对我们更有帮助。但一种叫元认知训练的方法可以帮助那些急于得出结论的人。
51．
根据上文“How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. （你在做决定之前花了多少时间做研究？有些人在做出选择之前会仔细考虑每一个细节）”结合下文提到了jumper“急于得出结论的人”可知，呼应上文仔细考虑每一个细节的人，空处应提出另一种人——急于得出结论的人。C项“但相当一部分人很快就会得出结论”符合题意，与上文内容形成对比。故选C。
52．
根据上文“We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis.（我们发现，在需要深思熟虑分析的问题上，急于得出结论的人比仔细思考的人犯的错误更多）”和下文“In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right significantly mare than other participants did—even when their answers were wrong.（在一次关于美国公民的测验中，他们大大高估了自己答案正确的几率——即使他们的答案是错误的）”推知，急于得出结论的人不仅容易犯错，而且过于自信，即使在答案是错误的情况下还高估答案正确的几率。B项“此外，急于得出结论的人也有过度自信的问题”符合题意，呈上启下。故选B。
53．
空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and nonjumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. （自动系统，反映容易、自发且无需努力就能进入大脑的想法，以及控制系统，包括有意识和轻松的推理。急于得出结论的人和仔细思考者同样受到自动思维的影响）”可知，两类人都受到自动思维的影响。但因为是两种不同的人，因此他们在受影响的程度，或思维模式方面可能有所不同。F项“然而，急于得出结论的人并没有像仔细思考者那样进行控制推理”符合题意，承接上文，指出了他们的不同之处。故选F。
54．
空处位于段首，应开启下文。根据下文“A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.（一种叫做元认知训练的方法可以用来针对他们的偏见，这可以帮助人们更慎重地思考。在这个培训中，参与者要面对自己的偏见。他们可以学习到错误的地方和思考问题的其他方法。它有助于消除参与者的过度自信）”可知，有方法帮助急于得出结论的人克服他们的问题，消除过度自信。A项“幸运的是，急于得出结论者可能还有一些希望”符合题意。故选A。
55．
根据上文“In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our gut is a frequent and important one.（在日常生活中，我们是应该深思熟虑，还是按照直觉行事，这是一个常见而重要的问题）”和下文“Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.（有时候，我们做出的最重要决定可能要做出选择之前多花些时间）”可知，相较于按照直觉行事，深思熟虑对我们更有帮助。G项“最近的研究表明，即使只收集了一点更多的证据，也可以帮助我们避免重大错误”符合题意。故选G。
