Passage 1[2020 河北石家庄摸底考试]
Many people believe that there is some truth in the saying "Laughter is the best medicine."
1 Laughter helps relieve pain, strengthen the immune system and reduce stress. Laughter stimulates(激
发)hormones which make us feel happy. Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body
and has benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.
2 Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before major medical procedures are able
to cope better with pain and anxiety. 3 These are professional clowns who are sent to hospitals
and wards to entertain and distract sick children.
Laughter therapy has become very popular in recent years and as a result, more and more laughter
clubs are starting to open up in cities and towns all over the world. At a laughter session, a trained
therapist instructs the group to perform a series of exercises which are designed to produce laughter.
4 And it takes them some time to get rid of their inhibitions(拘谨). They might even start off
with fake laughter,but this doesn’t matter because our bodies can’t tell the difference,and the
results are the same. Moreover,laughter is contagious(有感染力的). 5
So next time you feel ill, stressed out or depressed, try watching a funny film or try remembering
an amusing incident in your life. You will soon feel better.
A. If one person starts giggling, it is unavoidable that everyone else will be drawn in.
B. Laughter helps you focus.
C. This finding has led to so-called clown doctors.
D. In fact, research done by scientists has shown that laughter has a lot of health benefits.
E. Laughter makes the world a better and more colorful place.
F. Some people may find the idea embarrassing at first.
G. Using laughter therapy in children’s hospitals has proven to be invaluable.
Passage 2[2020 山西太原阶段性测评]
We all agree that we should recycle things more at home,in the office or in other places. 1
Consequently,they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling.This is what the process
of sorting allows us to do.
2 And the effective sorting needs to happen first in our own home, and second in sorting
plants where waste is collected.When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin,you
help sort recyclable things so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process.If
sorting does not happen,a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills(废物填埋地).It will
lead to the loss of resources.
3 For instance,in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging,cans and beverage cartons in blue
bags designed for recyclable packaging;paper in yellow bags for recycling;and glass in specific
collection bins.Somewhat differently,in Vienna(Austria),citizens can expect their paper,metal,glass
and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks. 4
Once recyclable materials are collected from your home,they are further sorted in specialised
facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 5 Traditionally,sorting has been
done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to
be discarded or mechanically.Today, new sorting technologies are being developed not only to speed
up the process of sorting but also to cause better results.Exciting technologies using magnets(磁铁)
or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of them can be recycled.
A. For effective recycling we need effective sorting.
B. Packaging is the first step towards recycling.
C. This is where different sorting techniques come into play.
D. So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.
E. Collection systems can be very different from country to country.
F. The rest were buried or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.
G. But for materials to be recycled,they first need to find their way to the right waste bin.
Passage 3[2020 吉林长春质量监测]- 2 -
Words have great power.Death and life are in the charge of the tongue.Many of us have been
offended by words and know how badly words hurt. 1 Trust me, if you are not careful in this area,your
emotions will soon be controlled by the words of the people around you.
● 2
If someone tells you "You are a fool",don’t believe it in your mind.People can never really
harm you unless you allow yourself to be defined by these words.You are a pretty good child.You
are very valuable in the sight of your parents. So never allow yourself to feel inferior just because
of the words of other people.
● Turn those words into positive thoughts within you.
If there is something wrong with your actions,and others are trying to correct you,it can sometimes
hurt your feelings if their words are hurtful. 3 Think like this in your mind, "Yes,I’m wrong,but
I’ll find ways to improve.Now I have hope because I know I can change."
● Respond softly.
If someone speaks in a hurtful way,take a deep breath first and try to speak softly and kindly
in response. 4 On the contrary,an angry answer is like a sword,which will bring harm instead of
healing.
● Be silent.
5 It’s none of your business. We need not respond to every personal comment from
people.It’s not your problem that they keep on hurting you on purpose.So simply leave it.
A. A soft answer turns away anger.
B. Don’t worry about what others say.
C. It is wise to correct others’ mistakes by soft words.
D. Never let negative words of others define who you are.
E. In that case, change those words into positive thoughts.

G. Today I will share a few tips on how to handle the effect of negative words spoken to you.
Passage 4[2020 江西南昌摸底考试]
Humans are made for walking. With our upright posture, quick-changing joints, and strong leg
muscles, our bodies are actually designed with walking in mind — which is what makes it such perfect
exercise. 1 And best of all, it’s a great way to see new things and meet new people!
Wherever you are, in the city or at the campground, you’ll find plenty of walking going on.
Maybe you already love to walk, but you’ll getting tired of tracing your same old route day after
day — or maybe you’re new to walking and aren’t sure how to get started. 2 To get started,
sit down with a map and find a goal. Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside
from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? See new places? 3
If making friends and socializing are your goal, you may call up your friends and schedule walks
with them, since this will introduce you to new places and trails. You might also find open groups
of dog walkers at your local park. Your campground staff might know about fun local walking groups
you can join.
4 In cities, large and small all over the country, walks are going on almost every weekend
in support of cancer research, diabetes research, and other humanitarian causes.
5 Then tie your walking shoes and prepare to get to know the new area! Many of our great
historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. Nearly any city you can think of
offers a walking tour with maps, provided by the tourist administration.
A. Head to a new city?
B. So why not focus on walking?
C. Either way, it’s time to walk with a purpose.
D. It’s kind to our bodies and great for our waistlines.
E. Get to know people by the power of your own two feet.
F. And be sure to stay on the lookout for walks to raise money.
G. Knowing these will help you decide on the type of walk you want.
Passage 5[2020 广东惠州第一次调研]- 3 -
How to Cultivate Confidence?
When faced with a big challenge where potential failure seems to appear at every corner,maybe
you’ll hear this advice:Be more confident. 1 Take the belief that you are precious and
capable,also known as self-esteem.Confidence turns thoughts into action.It comes from the genes
you are born with,the way people get used to treating you as well as the choices you make.While
it isn’t possible to completely separate these three factors,the personal choices we make obviously
play a major role in confidence development.As a result,by keeping certain practical tips in mind,
we do actually have the power to cultivate our own confidence.
2 If you’re looking for a long-term change,consider the way you think about your abilities
and talents.Do you think they are fixed at birth,or that they can be developed?The belief matters
because it can influence how you act in the face of setbacks.If you have a fixed mindset,meaning
that your talents are locked, you might give up,assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not
good at.But if you have a growth mindset,and think your abilities can improve,a challenge will become
an opportunity to learn and grow. Neuroscience(神经科学)supports the latter.The connections in your
brain do get stronger and grow with study and practice. 3
Practicing failure is a must.Failure happens. 4 J.K.Rowling was rejected by twelve different
publishers before one picked up Harry Potter. The Wright brothers built on history’s failed attempts
at flight before designing a successful airplane.Studies show that those who fail regularly but
keep trying are better equipped to respond to challenges in constructive ways. 5 So,think of
a challenge you want to take on,realize it’s not going to be easy,accept that you’ll make mistakes,
and be kind to yourself when you do.You’ll feel the excitement,knowing that whatever the result
is,you’ll have gained greater knowledge and understanding.
A. But what is confidence?
B. So can confidence be easily cultivated?
C. Everyone is possible to encounter failure.
D. Being a talented person is quite necessary.
E. They learn to try different strategies and persevere.
F. Believing in your abilities to improve is the first step.
G. It also turns out that people with a growth mindset are better at dealing with challenges.

Passage 1[2019 全国Ⅱ]
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should
I jump?" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two
sides of the same coin. 36 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
37 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to
evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc.
Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because
it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work.
38 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity (清晰) of thoughts
can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping
in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 39 They also need
to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but
can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 40 You should reassess your goals,
and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned.You cannot
overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time
of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. However, this should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals?
E. They can change according to circumstances.
F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
Passage 2[2019 浙江]
Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all
music groups, they make very different music. 31 At that time the Beatles entered the world of
music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous
in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England.
32 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music
scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show
business legends (传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
33 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music.Beatlemania
hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 34 The concert
was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up
to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion (入侵) by local and nationwide
newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point

Passage 3[2018 全国Ⅲ]
Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and
hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.
36 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings,
birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.
"I adore dancing," says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. "I can’t imagine
doing anything else with my life." Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. "Teaching dance is
wonderful. 37 It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and
having a social life."
38 "I can tell you about one young couple," says Bridges. "They’re learning to do traditional
dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 39 "
So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says,
"Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better
and better. 40 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive."

Passage 4[2018 北京]
Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various.Knowing these
causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits.The main reasons we get angry are
triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations. 51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages.
However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing
physical pain, and much more. 52 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others
are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality
traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry.
53 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary
state before a triggering event has occurred.
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes
ignorance and negative(消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to
appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level
of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our
feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.- 6 -
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce
it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel
angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background
of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves
with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may
or may not trigger another.
Passage 5[2017 乙卷(全国Ⅰ)]
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping,
I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked
meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept
in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.
This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of
sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38
Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends
had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer
complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with
a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I
recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
Passage 6[2016 丙卷(全国Ⅲ)]
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 36 But it seems that many people don’t cook
fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice
as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 37
This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s
edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and
arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately,
but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty
as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 40 First, clean it and season it with your
choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes
if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve. - 7 -
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.
