Passage1
Some students find themselves constantly in trouble with attention at school.1. If you have trouble paying
attention, sitting still, and are getting constantly called out by your teacher, you can still learn to follow the rules
and channel your energy into becoming a better student.
2. If you have trouble paying attention and staying on task, changing your attitude can help a lot. Try to use
your imagination to make the task cooler and more fun. It might sound stupid, but pretending your schoolwork is
fun can actually make it fun.
Take notes. One great way to keep yourself focused on the class topics and the lesson is to take notes. Even if
you'll be provided with a review, or you don't eventually need the information for the test, if you struggle to pay
attention, focus on writing down the important things the teacher says.3.
Be prepared for class. You can't stay focused if you don't have all the necessary supplies ready, and you're in
your seat on time. There's nothing worse for your classroom reputation than forgetting your math textbook, or
having to ask for a pencil or a piece of paper that you forget to bring.
Get involved in the class discussions.4. Just raise your hand if you know the answer, and talk during
discussions in class if they're going on.
5. Just like changing your attitude about enjoying your classes, making an active choice can be an important
first step in actually getting better grades.
A. Motivate yourself to improve your grades.
B. Use your imagination and decide to like the topics.
C. Taking notes can also help you improve your writing skills.
D. If you're not active in class, make a change and try to answer questions.
E.There are so many factors to make you unfocused, and you aren't alone!
F.This will help you stay focused and you'll have something to refer to later.
G.Seeing the results of your hard work, you might become more confident at work.

To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal (文字的) problems designed to
inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. 2. They found that background music significantly hurt the
participants, ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. 3. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three
that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room,
or while exposed to three different types of music: music with unfamiliar lines, instrumental music, or music with
familiar lines.
Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues conclude that music interferes with (干扰) the verbal working memory of
the brain. 4. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the researchers believe that is the case because library noises create an environment of steady state that doesn't interrupt concentration.
"5. Instead, they demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of its content, consistently interrupts
creative performance in insight problem solving," the study reads.
A. And this in turn holds back creativity.
B. It has nothing to do with the positive reaction.
C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background.
D. Psychologists say that their findings indicate music actually blocks creativity.
E.For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower.

符合上下文语境，故选 G。
Passage3
When you eat lunch in a restaurant, you might see many people eating by themselves, watching videos on their
phones. 1. Do you worry they’re lonely?
You probably didn’t even notice because you were looking at your own phone. The New York Post says that
eating alone with electronic devices is a growing trend among young people around the world.
According to a new survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the US-based Highbush Blueberry Council, the
average adult eats six meals alone each week and 387 meals each year.
2. Maybe not.
“The way we define ‘togetherness’ and what it means to be connected seems to be evolving as technology
evolves. Keeping our relationships strong doesn’t always require being together physically,” wrote the report.
Nowadays, many young people spend more time studying and working in competitive environments. 3.
Instead, it’s natural to communicate with others through text, email and social media.
Daniela Galarza, from the US, is one of these young people. She told the New York Post that she spent nearly
10 hours on her work every day. She said, “Engaging with my friends and families on social media platforms for
about half an hour every day always helps me feel more connected with them. 4. ”

Passage4
As fear exists in China and the world over the spreading COVID-4（新冠肺炎），business owners worldwide
are all feeling the pain. Uncertainty and lack of confidence have always been among the big enemies of economies.
And now the universal economy is still under great pressure. 1.
As countries issue warnings and travel bans, the tourism and services are most affected. In 53, around 140
million Chinese made outbound trips according to the China Tourism Academy. 2. It is thus not surprising that
local hotels, restaurants and travel agencies in cities like New York and London are also suffering losses from the
virus fallout.
According to a New York Times report, Chinatown in Manhattan has seen business drop of 50 to 70 percent.
A hotel owner who relies on Chinese customers said that the loss could be well over 100,000 dollars and climbing.
Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, is also warning the outbreak could pose a “new risk” to the US
economy.
The economic cost of the COVID-4 outbreak is growing and hard to estimate（估计）. 3. During the 503
SARS, which lasted around 7 months, it is estimated that economic losses worldwide affected by the outbreak were
over 30 billion dollars. The ripple effect（连锁反应）spread across the Atlantic to Toronto, the most severely affected area in Canada. It is estimated that the city will lose about 950 million dollars due to the restrictions on
travel.
4. It started in Mexico and America in 509. While the Americas were most affected by the virus, research
has also found that the economic cost of the virus in Korea was as high as 1 billion dollars.
In this interconnected world, any pandemic（流行病）is worldwide. Various economists have pointed out that
most economic costs are not related to the virus directly, but the panic over it. Lack of confidence can also worsen
the fragile world economy. 5.
A. But one can always learn from history.
B. It's time to ban the wildlife trade for good.
C. The last thing the world needs is a virus outbreak.
D. China is a much bigger economy than it was in 503.
E.The same thing also happened during the flu A ( H1N1) outbreak.
F.In recent years they have created about a quarter of tourism jobs worldwide.
G.So, it's very important for countries to work together to control its outbreak.

和缺乏信心一直是经济的大敌。现在，世界经济仍然面临着巨大的压力。”承接上文，C 选项“世界最不需要
的就是病毒爆发。”切题。由上文中的内容可知病毒爆发对世界经济造成严重影响，从而可总结出选项中所

选项“因此，各国共同努力控制疫情是非常重要的。”切题。从该选项中的 So 可看出是对上文的承接。上文
中提到流行病是全球性的，所以各国的共同努力是至关重要的，因此 G 选项与上文有因果关系。故选 G 项。
Passage5
How to manage holiday stress
As the holiday season approaches, I encourage my patients to ask themselves if the glass is half full or half
empty. How we manage the holidays may have as much to do with our expectations as our resources. 1. .
Your neighbors are throwing a holiday party, and they've asked you to make all of the desserts. 2. While you
feel very overwhelmed, you feel a sense of obligation（义务）to please others.
In situations like these, I advise my patients to take a step back and remember that they're not supermen. Don't
let “supposed to do” take the place of what you would like to do. To reduce pressure, try to keep your life simple by
talking with family members or friends before making decisions. 3. .
It also helps to get prepared for some problems. This goes back to managing expectations. Prepare for the
unexpected and know that some problems are possible such as traffic or forgetting a present for a family member.
4. .
The holidays can also be a time of year that brings unpleasant memories such as sad events or anniversaries.
For some who have experienced abuse, holiday activities can lead to unpleasant memories.
5. Make the most of them. Look for easy, social and comforting ways to celebrate. Get together with family
and friends to bake while listening to great music or to help younger children make crafts for their presents while
watching an old movie. These activities can reduce stress and can also be easy on your budget.
A. Remember that the holidays are as short as life.
B. It is not a good idea to give in to others' requests.
C. It is important to be realistic about what you want.
D. But you want to spend time with your family baking.
E.Spare your time with your family during the holiday.
F.This will help you to spend the holidays what you want.
G.Most importantly, don’t blame yourself for what goes wrong.

题，空前的“our expectations”与 C 项中的“what you want”一致，故 C 项（对你想要的东西实事求是很重要的）
符合语境。
2.D 空前说你的邻居要办一个节日聚会，他们要你做所有的甜点，空后又说尽管你感到特别不知所措，但
你觉得自己有义务去取悦别人，此处与上文形成转折，说的是在假期，你也有自己想做的事情，故 D 项（但
你想花时间和家人一起烤面包）符合语境。
3.F 空前说在做决定之前，试着和家人或朋友交谈，让你的生活保持简单，此处总结上文，讲的是这样做的
好处，故 F 项（这将帮助你过一个你想要的假期）符合语境。
4.G 空前说做好应对突发事件的准备，并知道有些问题是可能出现的，例如交通堵塞或忘记给家人送礼物，
此处承接这一话题，讲的是如何处理这些不愉快的事情，G 项中的“what goes wrong”与空前提到的那些不愉
快的事情对应，故 G 项（最重要的是，不要因为出错而自责）符合语境。
5.A 空后说要充分利用假期，好好享受假期，这说明假期很短暂，故 A 项（假期就像生命一样短暂）符合
语境。
Passage6
College is the time when you’re expected to focus on your path in life. But it’s also the time you’re the least
equipped to have any long-term plan.1. .
The whole process can be divided into three stages.
The first is “gathering fuel”. This means building up your skills, learning from different experiences and
developing a network of people who you trust and who trust you. And this is a stage that requires patience and a
willingness to identify your own weaknesses and work on them. If you complete this stage with a growing sense of
what you love to do and what you are good at, 2. .
The second stage is “burning fuel”. This is the time to improve the skills you’ve obtained through experiences,
the people you’ve met along the way and the recognition of what you should do.3. . We want to get where we’re
going in a hurry, but that hardly works.
4. . Simply speaking, it’s about staying strong, while turning an eye towards what lies ahead. It’s a surprisingly
long journey and most people underestimate it. You can’t expect an ideal life to happen by itself. You must
recognize that no matter where you are on the path, each step is there to teach you something, feeding you that fuel.
If you’re not doing what you want, you need more fuel- so go out and get it.5. .
A. you are winningB. that will come true
C. The last part is “saving fuel”
D. The final part is “filling fuel”
E.Here are some tips on how to aim your sights into the future
F.It seems that most of us try to jump straight to the next stage
G.And if you’re doing what you want, keep moving and don’t settle

期计划这一话题，又要引出下文的几点建议，故 E 项（以下是一些关于如何着眼于未来的建议）符合语境。
2.A 空前一句说如果你在完成这个阶段的时候，对自己喜欢做什么、擅长什么有了更多的认识，此处应该
会提到一种积极的结果，故 A 项（你就赢了）符合语境。
3.F 空后说我们急于快点到达目的地，但这很难奏效，因此此处会提到我们想要急于求成的做法，F 项中的
“jump straight to”与空后的“in a hurry”相对应，故 F 项（似乎我们大多数人都试图直接跳到下一个阶段）符
合语境。
4.D 空处位于本段句首，为段落主题句，根据前两段第一句“The first is “gathering fuel”.”及“The second stage
is “burning fuel””可知此处应该介绍第三个阶段（最后一个阶段），故 D 项（最后一部分是加油）符合语境。
5.G 空前说如果你正在做的事不是你想做的，你需要更多的刺激因素——所以走出去加油，此处说的是另
一种情况，G 项在句式上与空前一句一致，故 G 项（如果你正在做的事是你想做的，继续前进，不要停下
来）符合语境。
Passage7
Why Walking Makes You a Better Worker?
We’re busy at work, distracted by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces.
1. The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors. But what happens if we
make time for an hour outside each day?
2. You’ll have to stand up and move, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a
screen. Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver
a shot of vitamin D.
There’s also a lot of work on the mental benefits of being in nature — on the state of being happy and on your brain’s ability to make sense of life. “When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to
have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors. 3. ” says Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at
Canada’s Trent University.
The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining ground since the 480s. 4. Afterwards shinrin-yoku,
the Japanese concept followed that absorbing the atmosphere in forests can benefit your health. Researchers of
shinrin-yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest time in nature
can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase creativity, and even help us live longer.
Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or wilderness. 5. Various studies have
shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects.
A. There are some obvious benefits to going outside.
B. But it doesn’t have to be a forest.
C. spending time in nature makes us healthier and happier.
D. In other words, people are happier in nature.
E.We also don’t get out much.
F.Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets.
G.First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to connect with nature.

and energy than when they are indoors.(当人们在大自然中，甚至在城市里，人们往往比在室内情绪更积极、

之，人们在大自然中更快乐)符合语境。故选 D。
4.G 根据空后 Afterwards shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept followed that absorbing the atmosphere in forests
can benefit your health.(后来日本提出了“吸收森林中的空气有益健康”的理念)可知，此处会提到在此之前的一种理论，故 G 项 First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to connect with nature.(首先，有一种理
论认为人类有一种与自然联系的基本欲望)符合语境。故选 G。
5.B 根据空前 Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or wilderness.(当然，我们中的
许多人生活在没有森林或荒野的城市)及空后 Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have

Passage9Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start
It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day.
Whenever we mark a new year — by turning the calendar, returning to school or celebrating a holiday — we
are looking for a fresh start. 1. But how? Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh,
whether it’s a new year or simply a new day in our life.
2. This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past. Or invest in a
new pen and a new notebook. Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list.
Moreover, you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read, searching a
question that's been on your mind, enrolling in a class that motivates your interest. Of course you can simply ask a
friend for a fresh idea about an issue. 3.
Take a break from technology — for an hour, a day, or a week. 4. You should be able to put some space
between yourself and digital routines.
One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisome thoughts about
the past, the future or even the present. 5. Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief (30 minutes or less),
specific time. The rest of the time, focus on what you are doing that's new and positive.
How do you give yourself that “fresh start” feeling?
A. Electronic Products might not be serving you best.
B. Newness or the freshness can guide us on a positive path.
C. Limit your daily “worry time” and make an appointment with yourself.
D. All of us enjoy newness, but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness?

Passage10
Most of us don’t think twice about refilling our plastic water bottles. After all, there’s absolutely nothing
harmful about a simple bottle of water, right?
Wrong! 1. Why? Plastic water bottles have Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to manufacture plastics.
This harmful chemical can go into the water and quickly grow dangerous bacteria in the bottle’s cracks, and the
health consequences are pretty serious.
We spoke to Kent Atherton, CEO of PuriBloc technology, about the risks of reusing plastics. “Even BPA free
products are not safe because manufacturers are now using other estrogenic (雌激素类的) chemicals. 2. ,” said
Atherton.
These estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. 3. . In a study of
259 plastic water bottles at the State University of New York, scientists found that 93% of the surveyed bottles had
some form of microplastic contamination ( 污 染 ). Additionally, single-use plastic bottles are mostly made of
polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which is safe to use, but not reuse.
4. . “The thing about water bottles is that they come into contact with our mouth and hands—which are home
to a lot of bacteria,” says Professor Stephanie Liberatore in the academic journal The Science Teacher. “Their
openings are small, which makes them difficult to clean. This, combined with their wet environment, can make
water bottles a bacterial breeding ground.”
To drink water without harm, smart drinkers should avoid re-using disposable (一次性的) bottles. 5. Not only
will doing so benefit your health, but you can help the environment, too.
A. There’s also the factor of bacteria to consider.B. They may also cause the same danger to human health.
C. Instead, they should recycle them after drinking up once.
D. Plastic water bottle could actually do harm to your body.
E.Many people believe buying plastic water bottles is healthy.
F.These plastics can make chemicals go into your water if heated.
G.However, the potential dangers of plastic water bottles don’t stop there.
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。大多数人会毫不犹豫的把我们使用的一次性塑料瓶再次使用，实际上是错
误的。文章介绍了为什么不能重复使用一次性塑料瓶。
1. D 根据下文的 Why? 及后面的解释：这种有害的化学物质会进入水中，并在瓶子的裂缝中迅速滋生危险
的细菌，对健康的影响非常严重。可知，选项 D“塑料水瓶实际上会对你的身体造成伤害”与下文内容最符。
故选 D。
2.B 根据上文语境可知，BPA 会进入水中，而且制造商现在正在使用其他的雌激素。根据下一段的 These estrogenic
chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. 这些雌激素化学物质会对人类的荷尔蒙平
衡产生负面影响。可知，选项 B“它们也可能对人类健康造成同样的危害。”最合语境。故选 B。
3. G 根据上文 These estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. 这些
雌激素化学物质会对人类的荷尔蒙平衡产生负面影响。及下文的 In a study of 259 plastic water bottles at the
State University of New York, scientists found that 93% of the surveyed bottles had some form of microplastic
contamination (污染). 纽约州立大学(State University of New York)对 259 个塑料水瓶进行了一项研究，科学
家们发现，其中 93%的水瓶受到了某种形式的微塑料污染。可知，选项 G“然而，塑料水瓶的潜在危险还不
止于此。”与下文衔接最好。故选 G。
4.A 根据上文语境可知，上文提到塑料含有的化学物质对人体有害，是塑料瓶本身的问题，结合本段的内
容：关于水瓶的问题是，它们会接触到我们的嘴巴和手——这是很多细菌的家，它们的开口很小，很难清
洗。这一点，再加上它们潮湿的环境，可以使水瓶成为细菌的滋生地。由此可知，本段主要是瓶子含有细
菌也是其中的因素。故 A 项“还要考虑细菌的因素。”最合语境。故选 A。
5. C 根据上文 To drink water without harm, smart drinkers should avoid re-using disposable (一次性的) bottles.
为了喝水而不受伤害，聪明的饮用者应该避免重复使用一次性饮料瓶。可知，选项 C“相反，他们应该在喝
完一次后回收它们。”与上文内容最相符。故选 C。
Passage11
If you've found yourself thinking of a new job or new career, don't be upset. 1. Job opportunities in health care are on the rise and expected to increase 34 percent through 55. 2. A much
larger population of the elderly means a huge increase in demand for medical services and the people that provide
them.
3. Our health care is getting more and more complicated. And, that means highly skilled people are needed
to deliver the service. Put these two things together and you get higher salaries and more employees are demanded.
We all know that doctors make the big bucks （钱）. But, talk about paying your dues-doctors must endure over
10 years of schooling and work amazing hours.
Fortunately, you don't need to become a doctor to settle into an exciting, secure, and well-paying job. There
are many opportunities available, and one of the best ways to get into the field is as a medical assistant. 4. The
position can be part-time, time, or even just
evenings and weekends. Working conditions and benefits tend to be excellent, and you can manage to have a life
outside of work as well.
Many medical assistants choose to take additional classes to become nurses and health care practitioners （执
业医生）.Some take on additional administrative training and become office managers for larger practices. 5.
A. Job is less for the old.
B. The second reason is related to technology.
C. This is due to two factors: Firstly, the American population is aging rapidly.

Passage12
A new coronavirus, a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 50 people since the outbreak began in
Wuhan, China, in December. Scientist Leo Poon, who first decoded the virus, thinks it likely started in an animal
and spread to humans. The World Health Organization offered guidance to countries. 1.
What is a coronavirus
2. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted from
animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Coronavirus symptoms
The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild to moderate upper respiratory (呼吸的) tract illness,
similar to a common cold. Coronavirus symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache
and maybe a fever. 3.
For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there’s a chance the virus could
cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia or bronchitis.
4. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, also known as the MERS virus, was first reported in the Middle East
in 512 and also causes respiratory problems, but those symptoms are much more severe. Three to four out of every
10 patients infected with MERS died, according to the CDC. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, also known as
SARS, is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms. First identified in the Guangdong province in
southern China, according to the WHO, it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea, fatigue,
shortness of breath, respiratory distress and kidney failure. It also results in death.
How it spreadsViruses can spread from human contact with animals. 5. With SARS, scientists suspected civet cats were to
blame. When it comes to human-to-human transmission of the viruses, often it happens when someone comes into
contact with the infected person’s secretions.
A. Here are several suggestions for you about a coronavirus.
B. There are a handful of human coronaviruses that are known to be deadly.
C. Scientists think MERS started in camels, according to the WHO.
D. Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals.
E.There are all kinds of coronaviruses existing in the world.
F.Here are several things you should know about a coronavirus.
G.They can last for a couple of days.

Passage13As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun.
With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits
are not yet accepted as a way of life. 1. By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When
you make a mess, clean it up. 2. All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them
before. Now that you're old enough and capable, why shouldn't you contribute to the household? 3.
Be responsible
4. Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores
that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely
on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own
first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help.
Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems. 5. When you become a good
problem solver, you increase your value to the community.
A. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
B. It will make your life more pleasant.
C. Everyone has certain responsibilities.
D. When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

room. “这包括在内，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上”恰好能承接上文，故 E 选项正确。
3.A 本段内容是建议青少年要学会做家务活来帮助家人。所以所填句子应该和做家务帮忙有关，而且从段
落安排上看，最后一句话应该起到总结概括作用，由此判断 A 选项正确。句意：“如果你帮忙做家务，那么先前做这种家务的人会很感激。”
4.C 由后句 Whether they are basic things, 可以推断前句应该出现 they 所替代的名词，而根据下文举的例子
like brushing your teeth or doing your homework 等可知 C 选项符合语境，能引领下文。句意：每个人都有一
定的责任。故 C 为正确选项。,
5.G 在本段中作者建议人们不要轻易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情况下去找人帮忙，纵观选项，只
有 G 选项符合语境，能承接上文。

Passage15
Giving a gift that will stand the test of time is always a challenge,but giving plants is one way to try.Whatever
type of plant you choose,it’s sure to last longer than cut flowers 1.
The most important thing to consider is where it will live.If your friend’s place is bright and sunny,a
succulent( 多 肉 植 物 )makes sense. 2. Succulents naturally grow in desert-like environments,while orchids( 兰
花)grow in damp forests.
3. It can help you understand what conditions it prefers.So,while picking out plant gifts,ask the salesperson for
more information to ensure what you choose is a match for where it will end up.
Whatever plant you choose,make peace with the fact that it may or may not survive.After all,a house’s inside is
pretty dissimilar to where that plant naturally grows.So we can all only do our best.4 If their leaves dry up,they’re
not getting enough water.If they’re reaching their leaves toward the light,they may need more of it.So offer that
advice to your friend,and then let it go.If you have a plant-interested friend on your gift list,why not choose a plant which is easy to keep alive in his
place and looks lovely?You don’t need to wrap it,as a simple bow is enough.5. It’s a way to ensure your gift gets a
good start in life.
A. You can always put them inside a paper bag.
B. But you can consider giving a nice pot and bag of soil.
C. Knowing the natural history of a plant is equally important.
D. Even relatively experienced green thumbs sometimes lose
E.The key is to pay attention to plants-really look at them each day..
F.If you want to choose plants as gifts,the ideas below will help you on your way.
G.If your friend has a cool home with no direct sun,an orchid is probably a better choice.

1.F 结合填空处所处的情境及下文给出的送植物做礼物的建议，可以看出此处是作为承上启下的作用。所
以要总说引出下文的建议的句子。故选 F 项。
2.G 前文讲到，如果你朋友家阳光明媚，那多肉植物就说得通了。后文讲到兰花生长在潮湿的森林中。可
以得出此处讲的是环境潮湿的一种情况。结合选项看，只有 G 符合题意。故选 G 项。
3.C 本句为段落的中心句，由后文讲到在挑选植物礼物时，向销售人员询问更多信息，以确保你选择的礼
物与最终的结果相匹配。可以看出，买植物做礼物之前了解关于该植物的信息是必要的。对比选项可以看
出，只有 C 项符合题意。故选 C 项。
4.E 由后文：If their leaves dry up,they’re not getting enough water.If they’re reaching their leaves toward the
light,they may need more of it.可以看出，植物是否需要浇水和阳光，通过观察植物本身的特点就可以得出。

5.B 通过前一个句子：You don’t need to wrap it,as a simple bow is enough.你不需要把它包起来，一个简单的
蝴蝶结就足够了，讲的是送植物为礼物的简单方式，后一句 It’s a way to ensure your gift gets a good start in
life.这是一种确保你的天赋，在生活中有个好的开始的方法。讲的也是方法，所以空白处讲的同样是一种方
式，对比答案发现只有 B 项符合题意。故选 B 项。
