《考点•题型 •技巧》

考向分析

分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，英语的语篇（discourse）通常是由句子和语段（sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的＂积句而成章，积章而成篇。＂就是这个道理。
分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落，另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。
语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。
考点导航

【得分要点】
（1）在阅读过程中，重要要关注文章的首段与末段。尤其是文章的这两段的末尾句，因为＂开门见山＂与＂末尾点题＂的写作方式是最为常见的，首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义，如果它是文章的主题句，就可以使读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开，并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句，则需要继续寻找。这时，可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为＂结尾总结＂式，如两者均可排除，则需在文章中其他段落寻找主题句，但要注意首段与末段的提示作用。
（2）做题的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读，圈画一些线索粗，再从选项中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外，如果发现有一题拿不准的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应该基本就能清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。
（3）做完后，通读全文。将所选项放入空白处，通读一遍，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。若代入选项后，发现文章写作线索中断或是前后矛盾，应更换其它选项。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，仔细甄别，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
（4）切勿随意改答案。要特别注意的是，不要仓促的改自己的之前选定的答案。做这类的题目时，第一印象的可信度还是很高的，除非你已经常有充分的理由否定向前的选择。


1. 如果空白在段首
(1)通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关词，从而推断出主题句。
(2)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文的第一、二句，锁定线索词，然后在选项中查找相关词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的。
(3)段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望，阅读上一段的结尾部分，并结合下一段的内容，将所选的答案代入，看其是否能承上启下，将两段内容连起来。
2. 如果空白在段尾
(1)重点阅读空白前的一两句以锁定关键词。
(2)通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，选项中也可发现前文的同义词、句。
(3)与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
(4)与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是要补全说明本段主题的其他细节，在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他线索。前句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的，要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句。
(5)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。
(6)如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。
3. 如果空白构成一整个自然段
　(1)这个段落应该起承上启下的作用，而且自成一体，即有一个段落的中心，因此可重点阅读较长的选项，以此类推，直至找到正确答案。
　(2)着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句，寻找相关的线索，而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头，因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更重要。
　(3)分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，即为正确答案。

1、
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 31
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it 32 ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 33 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 35 That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing," Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.

长难句分析
原文：Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that hasgrown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 year ago.
分析：本句为主从复合句。句中的a social network与the website postcrossing.com是同位语；that引导定语从句；since引导时间状语从句。
答案与解析：
31.G 空格处为本段结尾句，前文出现了描述Paulo喜欢世界各地明信片的内容，即“Or Africa'sVictoria Falls. Or China 's Great Wal.”，由此可知他喜欢各种明信片。设空处为总结性语言，G选项中的信息“in short”符合逻辑顺序，“he loves postcards”承接上文题意。故选G项。
32.A 空格前提到Paulo邮寄明信片的“遭遇”，空格后提到“Seeking other like-minded souls,However,Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online”，由此可知空格处承上启下，表示遇到的问题“完全不成问题”,说明Paulo没有放弃自己的爱好，而是采取了网络方式。故选A。
33.E 根据空格前的“a sociall network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 2 14 countriesand regions since he started it 10 year ago”可知，Paulo创办的这家社交网站注册人数一直在增长，选项E中的“On August 5 , the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31million”能承接前文，用数据说明网站的火爆。故选E。
34.F 根据空格前的“As cool as it may be to receive postcard written in Chinesc, the concept doesn 't work if one doesn 't understand it”以及空后的“so”可知，此处指两者情况的比较。F项“Similarly, if you speak only Chincse，receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the funaway”符合题意，其中的“Similarly”说明对比关系。故选F。
35.B 根据空格前的“Many people in China have limited exposure to English”可知，中国很多人接触英语的机会有限，所以学习和练习这种语言会有难度。B项“That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it”符合题意，其中的“hard to learn and practice”说明此意。故选B。
2、
I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 31 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 32 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. ___33___
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 34 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
35 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.
【答案】31. G 32. D 33. A 34. F 35. E
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者养成几个生活习惯的原因。
31.设空在段中，应是承前启后句。根据后文“His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine”可知，设空句应提及“his”的身份，即G项中的“My elder brother”，且G项“我哥哥懒得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。故选G项。
32.根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知，D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D项。
33.根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知，A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。故选A项。
34.根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，F项“于是，我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系，我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。F项切题。故选F项。
35.根据后句“无论天气或季节，我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知，E项“我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外”和前句表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选E项。
3、
Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 16 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the”speaking. “ 17 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 18
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 19 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
20 It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D
【解析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了成为好的演讲者需要掌握的一些原则。
16.本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然而，大多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折，引出本文主题--演讲者要训练。故选G。
17.下句Focus on the speaking.是本段主题，建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象，当站起来发表演讲时，演讲者往往会把注意力放在”公众”上，而不是”演讲”上。这是错误的做法，A项Do the opposite.承上启下，说明了上句做法的错误，引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。
18.本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误，观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲，除非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接，是对待演讲出错的方法。故选C。
19.本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家，下句应该说明目标是什么。B. You want to be an effective public speaker.与上句衔接，是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B。
20.下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好，根据 Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.可知，作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点，给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结束。D项:公开演讲时，通常少就是多。说明了演讲时，多和少的辩证关系。故选D。

Learning a new language like English can be a challenge.1. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice. It can even be fun. Here are some guidelines to help you become a better English learner.
Study every day. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some estimates. Rather than try and cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective.2. 3. Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.
Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 4. Write it down. Repetition is key as you're learning English, so writing is a great way to practice.5. By making a habit of writing, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time. You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A. Keep things fresh.
B. Play vocabulary and grammar games.
C. But with regular study, it can be done.
D. It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
E.Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with doing so.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
G.By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar.
【答案】1. C 2. F 3. A 4. G 5. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何成为一个更好的英语学习者的方法。
1. 根据上文“Learning a new language like English can be a challenge.(学习一门像英语这样的新语言是一种挑战)”及常识可知，尽管学习英语是一种挑战，但是通过有规律的学习，也是可以学会的。由此可知，C. But with regular study, it can be done.(但经过有规律的学习，它可以被学会)能够承接上文，符合题意。故选C。
2. 根据本段主旨句“Study every day.(每天学习)”及上文“Rather than try and cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective.(大多数专家表示，与每周一两次花几个小时死记硬背相比，短时间、有规律的学习更有效)”可知，此处强调了每天坚持短时间、有规律的学习更有效。由此可知，F. As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.(每天只需30分钟就可以帮助你随着时间的推移提高你的英语技能)正是每天坚持短时间、有规律的一种学习方法。故选F。
3. 根据下文“Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more fun.(不要在整个学习过程中专注于一项任务，试着把事情混合起来。先学一点语法，然后做一小段听力练习，再读一篇相同主题的文章。不要做太多；花20分钟做三种不同的练习就足够了。多样性会让你保持专注，让学习变得更有趣)”可知，本段主要强调了多样性学习的好处。由此可知，A. Keep things fresh.(保持事物新鲜)适合作本段主旨句。故选A。
4. 根据上文“Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills.(读，看，听。阅读英文报纸和书籍，听音乐或看电视也可以帮助你提高你的书面和口头理解能力)”及常识可知，经常读、看、听英语能够让学习者自然而然地吸收像说话模式、口音和语法这样的东西。由此可知，G. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar. (通过重复这样做，你会吸收像说话模式、口音和语法这样的东西)符合题意。故选G。
5. 根据上文“Write it down. Repetition is key as you're learning English, so writing is a great way to practice.(把它写下来。重复是你学习英语的关键，所以写是一个很好的练习方法)”及下文“By making a habit of writing, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time.(通过养成写的习惯，你也会发现你的阅读和理解能力随着时间的推移而提高)”可知，本段强调了写的重要性。由此可知，D. It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.(你是用电脑还是用笔和纸都没关系)指出不要在意写的方式，正是强调一定要坚持写，符合题意。故选D。

A “gap year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university, or before a postgraduate course. 6. That helps young people with useful learning experiences, new skills and makes them more independent. Employers and universities want to see evidence of enterprise, maturity and commitment.
Many choose to do voluntary work. This could include teaching in the mountains in Nepal, a conservation project in Madagascar. 7. The top five travel destinations were Tibet, Indonesia, Taiwan, Eastern Europe and Canada.
8. Some young people look for work if they need to earn money for accommodation and food. Popular jobs include bar work, fruit picking and being a tour guide.
Julie Taylor graduated from Hull University and now works as a manager in an international company. She says: “During my gap year, I spent four months in Kenya teaching English, art and physical education to children aged 8-18. 9. I am very happy that I didn’t head off to university straight after school because I learned a lot about myself. I worked beforehand to pay for the trip, showing I had good self-motivation and organizational skills, and I was able to get by on very little money. Employers see that climbing to an altitude of 4,985m shows strength and determination. 10. ”
A. How do the students like it?
B. It is often spent in traveling or working.
C. Not everyone can put that on their resumes (简历)!
D. I am very proud that I worked and travelled a lot there.
E.Lots of gap year students just want to see more of the world.
F.Then I travelled the country and even climbed Mount Kenya.
G.Most students for a gap year take on a part-time job to save up for the trip.
【答案】6. B 7. E 8. G 9. F 10. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了间隔年和学生在间隔年的活动。
6. 根据前句“A “gap year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university, or before a postgraduate course.(“间隔年”是指学生在上大学或研究生课程之前的一段时间。)”可知，这里介绍“间隔年”的定义和用途。所以选择项B“It is often spent in traveling or working.(通常用于旅游或工作。) ”符合上下文语境。选择项中“It”代指前句中的“gap year”。故选B。
7. 根据后句“The top five travel destinations were Tibet, Indonesia, Taiwan, Eastern Europe and Canada. (排名前五的旅游目的地分别是西藏、印度尼西亚、台湾、东欧和加拿大。)”可知，很多学生利用间隔年来旅游，多看看世界。所以选择项E“Lots of gap year students just want to see more of the world. (很多间隔年的学生只是想多看看世界。) ”符合上下文语境。故选E。
8. 根据前句“Some young people look for work if they need to earn money for accommodation and food. (一些年轻人如果需要挣钱住宿和买食物，就去找工作。)”可知，这里介绍为“间隔年”旅行需要做的准备。所以选择项G“Most students for a gap year take on a part-time job to save up for the trip. (大多数学生在间隔年做兼职工作，为旅行攒钱。) ”符合上下文语境。选择项中“job”和前句中的“work”相一致。故选G。
9. 根据前句“She says: “During my gap year, I spent four months in Kenya teaching English, art and physical education to children aged 8-18. (她说：“在我的间隔年，我花了4个月在肯尼亚教8-18岁的孩子英语、艺术和体育。)”可知，这里介绍Julie Taylor在间隔年的经历。所以选择项F“Then I travelled the country and even climbed Mount Kenya. (然后我游历了这个国家，甚至还爬上了肯尼亚山。) ”符合上下文语境。选择项中“Kenya”和前句中的“Kenya”相一致。故选F。
10. 根据前文“I worked beforehand to pay for the trip, showing I had good self-motivation and organizational skills, and I was able to get by on very little money. Employers see that climbing to an altitude of 4,985m shows strength and determination. (我提前工作来支付这次旅行的费用，这表明我有良好的自我激励和组织能力，而且我能够靠很少的钱生活。雇主们认为爬到4985米的高度显示了力量和决心。)”可知，这里介绍Julie Taylor在间隔年所体现的良好优点。所以选择项C“Not everyone can put that on their resumes (简历)!(不是每个人都能把这些写进简历的!)”符合上下文语境。选择项中“that”代指前句中Julie Taylor的良好优点。故选C。

Before COVID-19, self-care — caring for ourselves — may have not been a priority for many people. 6. . There is no exact way to practice self-care. It includes many areas and may look different from person to person. Here are some suggestions on what can be done.
7.
For some people, self-care may be simply slowing down. It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control. This is important when the world around you feels out of control.
Learn something new
For some people, self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for. 8. .
Mental health self-care
Another form of self-care is making time to meet with a mental health specialist, if needed. The Associated Press reports that online mental health services have increased during the pandemic. However, meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people. 9. . Meditating, writing about your feelings and problems, and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.
Be kind to yourself — the best type of self-care
Experts remind us that self-care during the pandemic could feel like riding a rollercoaster — up some days, down on others.
It can help to have a routine — a usual way of doing things. But experts say keep the routine simple. 10. . Remember, be kind to yourself.
A. Never feel out of control
B. Slow down and feel in control
C. But now it is even more important than usual

6. 根据上文“Before COVID-19, self-care — caring for ourselves — may have not been a priority for many people.(在COVID-19之前，自我护理——照顾自己——可能不是许多人的优先事项)”结合后文提出了一些自我护理的方法，可知本句与上文构成转折，指出自我护理的重要性。故C选项“但是现在它比平时更重要”符合语境，故选C。
7. 根据后文“For some people, self-care may be simply slowing down. It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control. This is important when the world around you feels out of control. (对一些人来说，自我护理可能只是慢了下来。它也可以指控制你生活中你能控制的部分。当你感到周围的世界失控时，这一点很重要)”可知，本段关于自我护理的方法是慢下来，B选项中Slow down对应后文中slowing down。故B选项“慢下来，感觉一切尽在掌握”符合语境，故选B。
8. 根据小标题“Learn something new(学习新事物)”以及上文“For some people, self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for.(对一些人来说，自我照顾可能包括做一些他们一直想做但从来没有时间做的事情)”可知，本段提出的建议是学习新事物，本句为本段最后一句，应举例说明可以学习哪些新事物。故G选项“这些事情包括烘焙、园艺、学习一门新语言或其他一些新技能”符合语境，故选G。
9. 根据上文“However, meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people.(然而，对一些人来说，与心理健康专业人士见面可能是不可能的)”以及后文“Meditating, writing about your feelings and problems, and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.(冥想，写下你的感受和问题，整理你周围的物理空间，这些都是自我照顾的形式)”可知，上文提到与心理健康专业人士见面不可能，后文则提到了其它自我照顾的方式，可知本句与上文构成因果关系，指出医生对在大流行期间减少压力的其他方法有建议。故D选项“因此，医生对在大流行期间减少压力的其他方法有建议”符合语境，故选D。
10. 根据上文“It can help to have a routine — a usual way of doing things. But experts say keep the routine simple.(养成一种例行公事的习惯是有帮助的。但专家表示，保持简单的作息习惯)”可知，上文提到专家建议保持简单的作息习惯，F选项中routine对应上文中routine。故F选项“同样重要的是，如果你不坚持你的日常生活，不要对自己太苛刻”符合语境，故选F。

I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 16. His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 17. I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 18.
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 19. I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
20. My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.

17. 根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知，D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D项。
18. 根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知，A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。故选A项。
19. 根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，F项“于是，我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系，我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。F项切题。故选F项。
20. 根据后句“无论天气或季节，我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知，E项“我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外”和前句表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选E项。

As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you can’t figure out what to do first.
21.
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important. One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal With Them
Confused or overwhelmed -- 22. . Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher. They may help you find solutions to your problems and worries.
Being too hard on yourself – ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out with friends – anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems – recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once. 23.
Goal-Setting Tips
It’s important to remember that goals belong to you – not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends. After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. 24. , do some research. Try the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
25. . If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals. Consider ways to overcome them. Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal – see what steps you can take to achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A. Too much to do
B. If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need
C. talk to someone you trust
D. Goals exist to serve you
E.Balancing goals in life
F.Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later
G.As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t
【答案】21. E 22. C 23. F 24. B 25. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文给毕业班的学生提出了面对诸多的压力时应该先做什么的建议。
21. 由“When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important. One of the best ways to see the big picture – what you want out of life – is to lay out your goals.”可知，你有很多事情要做，并有很多事情需要你花时间的时候，你可能不知道什么是重要的。顾全大局的最好的办法之一是设计你的目标。所以本段主要在讲在生活中要平衡目标也就是小题1本段的小标题所要说明的内容。故E选项“在生活中要平衡目标”切题。故选E项。
22. 由“ Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher”可知，与朋友、父母或老师讨论你的忧虑。所以小题2要总说困惑时或者不知所措时应该怎么做，然后再具体分说和谁去谈论。故C选线“和你信任的人谈谈”切题。故选C项。
23. 由“it’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once”可知，一次性处理所有的问题压力太大了。所以小题3要承接上句来说明既然没有能力同时处理，应该怎么做。故F选项“选择紧急的问题来处理，剩下的留到后面再处理”切题。故选F项。
24. 由“After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. ..., do some research”可知，当你确定了你的目标之后，确定你要达到这些目标所需的技能。做一些调查。所以小题4要说明在什么情况下需要做一些调查研究。故“如果你不确定你需要什么技能”切题。故选B项。
25. 由“If your goal is something you no longer want, change it”可知，如果你的目标不再是你想要的，改变它。所以小题5要与后句为因果关系。故D选项“目标存在的目的是为了服务于你”故选D项。
