Why do people take “selfies(自拍)?”
Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer that question. 16． People who post selfies
and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to admiring themselves too much,
the Syracuse researchers said. 17． As social media can be shallow, it is a good place for people to “work towards
satisfying their own overmuch pride.”
18． People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse
University research found.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post
selfies and how often they use editing software. 19．
The Newhouse School’s Associate Professor Makana Chock worked on the study. She said, posting selfies on
social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips, our parents and
grandparents used cameras to take photos. Before social media, people would bring back photos to show friends
and family. You had no choice but to look at them. If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice
everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. 20．
On social media, it is a different experience. People can decide not to look at photos of their friends and family
even if they click “like” or even “love” under the Facebook selfie.
A．That was the old way of “clicking” like.
B．They came up with some surprising answers.
C．Different people have different opinions about it.
D．Such people think very highly of themselves, especially how they look.
E.Both cameras and phones are useful tools to record people’s experiences.
F.There are other reasons, besides admiring themselves, why people post selfies.
G.But men desire to be seen as popular more than women when posting selfies.

seen as popular more than women when posting selfies.（但在发布自拍时，男性希望比女性更受欢迎。）”讲了
不同点，与上文相衔接，故选 G 项。
20．上文“Before social media, people would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but
to look at them. If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially
children and the person showing the photos.（在社交媒体出现之前，人们会带回照片给朋友和家人看。你别无
选择，只能看着它们。如果你是个好人，你会说照片里的每个人看起来都很好，尤其是孩子和展示照片的
人。）”讲述了以前人们在他人展示照片时表达认可和夸赞的方式，A 项“That was the old way of “clicking” like.
（这是老式的点赞方式）”是对前文的总结，故选 A 项。

Not all walks need be a forced march. Here are 4 of Britain's gentlest routes, both urban trails and
countryside meanderings（曲径）.
The Grand Union Canal, Birmingham
Start Point:The Bordesley Centre
The original Grand Union Canal runs for 137 miles, taking you through an industrial area to discover the
hidden world of canals, with narrow boats, wildlife and fishermen. Along the canal, look out for wildflowers and
birdlife, and narrow boats negotiating the locks. The walk can be extended along the canal at either end to make it
flexible in length.
Warley Woods, Keswick
Start point:Keswick Youth Hostel
Starting in the centre of Keswick, this walk takes you up through Castlehead Wood, the perfect place for a
woodland adventure, and to a wonderful viewpoint over Derwentwater and the surrounding mountains. The route
then takes you down to the lakeshore and returns across Crow Park to the market square.
Chester-le-Street, County Durham
Start point:Chester-le-Street Amateur Rowing Club
A lovely riverside walk along the banks of the River Wear, through Riverside Park and past Durham county
football club. The circular route follows a curve in the river, meaning you'll have beautiful views along the way.
Watch the rowers on the river or stop in the park to feed the swans and ducks. This walk is wheelchair-friendly.
Hathersage Flower Meadows（草地），Derbyshire
Start point:Hathersage Railway Station
There are attractive views to be appreciated throughout this scenic walk and two sites of protected meadow

21．细节理解题。根据 Warley Woods, Keswick 部分的“and to a wonderful viewpoint over Derwentwater and the
surrounding mountains.”（并在 Derwentwater 和周围的山脉上欣赏美妙的景色。）可知，人们在 Warley Woods
可以欣赏到周围的山景。故选 A。
22．推理判断题。根据“Chester-le-Street, County Durham”部分的“This walk is wheelchair-friendly.”（这条道方
便轮椅）可知，人们可使用轮椅在 Chester-le-Street 通行。由此推知，这条线路的特别之处是残疾人可以选
择这条散步路线。故选 B。
23．细节理解题。根据最 Hathersage Flower Meadows（草地），Derbyshire 部分的“Fans of the works of great
masters, like Charlotte Bronte, will enjoy spotting several places that are closely associated with the authors.”（像夏

爱好者散步。故选 D。
As my husband and I drove down a country road, we passed a fire station with a sign that read, "Are you
ready for the next storm?” Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages.
We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.
We have had our share of storms in the past--a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees,
sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren't fun, but we learned so much from those early
storms, things that made later storms easier to bear.
Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with
the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill
（烤架） is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated
on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our
car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand.
We're ready for the next storm, but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a
storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for
the big storms--the big trials--that will come our way, They can teach us some valuable lessons.
Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready. . . not when the storm arrives.
24．Which can replace the underlined word "outages” in paragraph 1?
A．weather change
B．virus' spreading
C．power failure
D．emotional reaction
25．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The lessons that storms can teach us.
B．The importance of being ready for storms.
C．The necessities the author bought for her daily life.
D．The preparations the author made for the next storm.
26．What does the author think of experiencing the past storms?
A．It was rewarding.
B．It was annoying.
C．It was thrilling.
D．It was frightening.
27．What can we learn from the author's story?
A．Things will work out.
B．Keep something for a rainy day.
C．Don't stop regardless of the weather.
D．Sunshine always comes after the storm.
【答案】24．C25．D26．A27．B【江苏省 2020-2021 学年百校联考高三第二次考试】
【解析】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者经历过暴风雨后就懂得要为下一次暴风雨做好准备。作者通过自身经历
告诉我们要未雨绸缪，要为人生中出现的困境随时做好准备。
24．词义猜测题。根据划线词前一句提到“Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma，causing downed
trees”，后一句提到“We were stuck…and cut off from the outside world”作者和丈夫所在的地区刚刚受到飓风
“厄玛”的袭击，causing downed trees 导致树木倒下，他们被困，与外界失去联系。根据“cut off from the outside
world”可以猜测“outages”意思为“停电”。故选 C。
25．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a
battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended
power failures. We make sure our grill（烤架） is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily
prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book
lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand.”提到经历了以前的暴
风雨之后，作者随时准备了照明用的东西、电池，还有烤架、食物,汽车油箱也加满了油,手头还有应急现金。
可知，第三段主要讲述了作者为以后的暴风雨所做的准备。故选 D。
26．推理判断题。第四段中提到“but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a
storm in the past.”以及“They can teach us some valuable lessons.”，作者认为如果以前没有经历过暴风雨，就不
会学会做这些事情。以前经历的暴风雨教会了他们一些重要的东西。由此可以推断，作者认为曾经经历过
的暴风雨对他们是有益的。故选 A。
27．推理判断题。作者最后一段提到“Now is the time to get ready. . . not when the storm arrives.”，作者认为现
在要为以后的暴风雨做准备，而不是当暴风雨来临的时候才准备。由此可以推断，作者的故事告诉我们一
定要未雨绸缪。故选 B。
On a trip to the forests of southern India, amateur photographer Kaushik Vijayan was shocked to see some
massive rodents（啮齿动物），who are maroon（紫褐色），leaping from treetop to treetop.
Vijayan uploaded the images of the four-pound rodents to Instagram, and the Internet went crazy immediately.
Some had a difficult time believing that the squirrels, photographed in the Pathanamthitta District of Kerala,
actually exist, thanks to the animals' bright spots of black and maroon.
But the Indian giant（巨大的）squirrel, also known as the Malabar giant squirrel, is the real deal. Believe it or
not, it is not alone. There are three other giants in the squirrel family, Sciuridae-each of which weighs in at two to
three times the size of the gray squirrels native to the eastern United States.
＂The four species that make up this group are fascinating in their large size, brilliant coloration, and tendency
for feeding on some of the massive tropical fruits on the trees, "says Koprowski.
Even among its relatives, the Indian giant squirrel stands out with its bright colors, which makes one wonder
why its evolution would select fur. That would call so much attention to itself. After all, these forests are also home
to predators such as lion-tailed macaques, leopards, and crested serpent eagles-all of which have been known to
hunt rodents.
No one knows for sure, says Koprowski, but the squirrel's purple patterns may serve as a way to hide the
animal itself. This is because the broadleaf forests these squirrels inhabit create a pattern of sun spots and shaded
areas-not unlike the rodents' markings.
In other words, what looks flashy and fun to us in an Instagram post may make the squirrels disappear when
hungry mouths come to hunt. Now that's a common trick.
28．How did people feel after seeing the Malabar giant squirrel's images?
A．Nervous. B．Incredible. C．Embarrassed. D．Sorrowful.
29．What makes the Malabar giant squirrel different from the rest?
A．Its size. B．Its habitat. C．Its color. D．Its lifestyle.
30．Why does the Malabar giant squirrel have unusual fur?
A．To show itself off.
B．To protect itself.
C．To drive other animals away.
D．To compete with its companions.
31．Which of the following may be a potential threat to the Malabar giant squirrel?
A．Human beings.
B．Rodents' hunting.
C．The Instagram post.
D．The broadleaf forests.
【答案】28．B29．C30．B31．A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。摄影家 Kaushik Vijayan 在印度发现了皮毛是紫褐色的巨型松鼠，这让很多网友
都感到惊奇。经过研究之后，研究者认为是生活环境决定了它的身体特征。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Some had a difficult time believing that the squirrels, photographed in the
Pathanamthitta District of Kerala, actually exist, thanks to the animals' bright spots of black and maroon.”（照片拍
摄于喀拉拉邦的 Pathanamthitta 区，由于这些动物身上黑色和褐红色的亮点，有些人很难相信这些松鼠真的
存在。）可知，一些人很难相信这种松鼠真实存在。由此可知，当人们看到它的图片时，应该是难以置信的。
故选 B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“But the Indian giant squirrel, also known as the Malabar giant squirrel, is the real
deal. Believe it or not, it is not alone. There are three other giants in the squirrel family, Sciuridae-each of which
weighs in at two to three times the size of the gray squirrels native to the eastern United States.”（除了印度大松鼠，
也被称为马拉巴尔大松鼠，是真正的大家伙。信不信由你，它并不孤单。松鼠家族中还有另外三种巨松鼠，
它们的体重都是美国东部原生灰松鼠的两到三倍。）可知，除了这种紫褐色的巨型松鼠，还有三种体型巨大
的松鼠，所以排除体型（size）。再根据第五段“Even among its relatives, the Indian giant squirrel stands out with
its bright colors, which makes one wonder why its evolution would select fur.”（即使在它的近亲中，印度大松鼠
也以其鲜艳的颜色脱颖而出，这让人不禁要问，为什么它的进化会选择毛皮。）可知，这种新发现的松鼠和
同类相比，它的皮毛的颜色最为突出。故选 C。
30．推理判断题。根据第五段“Even among its relatives, the Indian giant squirrel stands out with its bright colors,
which makes one wonder why its evolution would select fur.”（即使在它的近亲中，印度大松鼠也以其鲜艳的颜
色脱颖而出，这让人不禁要问，为什么它的进化会选择毛皮。）和第六段“No one knows for sure, says
Koprowski, but the squirrel's purple patterns may serve as a way to hide the animal itself.”（Koprowski 说，没有人
知道确切的答案，但是松鼠身上的紫色图案可能是一种隐藏动物自身的方式。）可知，这种巨型松鼠的紫色
皮毛是为了适应当地环境，从而能隐藏和保护自己。故选 B。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In other words, what looks flashy and fun to us in an Instagram post may make
the squirrels disappear when hungry mouths come to hunt. Now that's a common trick.”（换句话说，在 Instagram
上看起来光鲜而有趣的东西，可能会让饥饿的松鼠在觅食时消失。这是一个常见的伎俩。）由此推出，人类
是这些松鼠的潜在威胁。故选 A。
China successfully sent the 52nd and 53rd satellites of its domestically developed BeiDou Navigation
Satellite System （BDS）-the last two medium Earth orbit （MEO） satellites for the BDS-3 constellation（星座）
－into space on Monday, marking the completion of the global navigation system's core constellation deployment
（部署）and this year's BDS satellite launch campaign.
Launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center, Sichuan Province, on board a Long March-3B carrier rocket
with an Expedition-1 upper stage, the two satellites were injected into planned orbits after more than three hours'
flight.
Since the first BDS-3 satellite was launched on November 5, 2017, China has conducted 18 BDS satellite
launch missions, successfully sending 30 into their planned orbit, setting a national record for highest mission
frequency and success rate.
In-orbit tests will be carried out before the two MEO satellites are commissioned（正式委托）.By then the core
constellation for the Chinese global navigation satellite system will be successfully completed.
Wang Ping, chief designer of the BDS-3 system, said that the hybrid constellation design, in which three
groups of satellites-the Inclined Geo Synchronous Orbit （IGSO）, MEO and geosynchronous Earth orbit （GEO）
-work in concert in different orbits, was an exclusive BDS innovation and a world first. “Existing global navigation
satellite systems, such as the US GPS and Russia's GLONASS, only have a MEO satellite constellation, ” said
Wang.
The MEO satellites, in orbit 20, 000 kilometers above Earth, are a special type of satellite providing global
service, while the IGSO and GEO satellites, in an orbit 360, 000 kilometers above Earth, mainly enhance regional
service quality, according to Wang. That explained why completion of the MEO constellation was significant,
marking the completion of the core network for BDS-3, meaning a stable BDS-3 global coverage without weak
points has been carried out.
Feedback shows that the BDS service quality was already comparable to GPS since the end of 2018, and after
completing BDS-3, “We will be as good as any GNSS, ” Wang said.
32．How many BDS satellites were sent into their planned·orbit successfully?
A．3. B．5. C．18. D．30.
33．What's the advantage of BDS compared with GPS and GLONASS?
A．The excellent service quality.
B．The diverse functions.
C．The lower cost of designing it.
D．The ability to work in different orbits.
34．Why are the MEO satellites important?
A．They can serve the world.
B．They can enter farther orbits.
C．They can avoid all the weak points.
D．They can be put into use immediately.
35．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Exploring Space Is Very Important to the World
B．The BDS-3 System Has Benefited Many Countries
C．The Core Constellation of BDS-3 Completes Deployment
D．China Becomes the First Country to Launch a MEO Satellite
【答案】32．D33．D34．A35．C
【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。中国成功发射了北斗三号全球卫星导航系统的两颗卫星，此举意义重大。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段“Since the first BDS-3 satellite was launched on November 5, 2017, China has
conducted 18 BDS satellite launch missions, successfully sending 30 into their planned orbit, setting a national
record for highest mission frequency and success rate.”（自 2017 年 11 月 5 日发射第一颗北斗三号卫星以来，
中国已成功执行 18 次北斗卫星发射任务，将 30 颗卫星送入计划轨道，创全国发射频率和成功率最高纪录。）
可知，中国自 2017 年来，已经成功地把 30 颗北斗导航卫星送入预定轨道。故选 D。
33．推理判断题。根据第五段“Wang Ping, chief designer of the BDS-3 system, said that the hybrid constellation
design, in which three groups of satellites-the Inclined Geo Synchronous Orbit （IGSO）, MEO and
geosynchronous Earth orbit （GEO）-work in concert in different orbits, was an exclusive BDS innovation and a
world first. “Existing global navigation satellite systems, such as the US GPS and Russia's GLONASS, only have a
MEO satellite constellation, ” said Wang.”（北斗三号系统总设计师王平表示，将倾斜地球同步轨道(IGSO)、
中轨卫星(MEO)和地球同步轨道(Geo)三组卫星在不同轨道协同工作的混合星座设计，是北斗系统的独家创
新，也是世界第一。王说:“现有的全球卫星导航系统，如美国的 GPS 和俄罗斯的 GLONASS，只有中轨卫星
(MEO)星座。”）可知，北斗卫星导航系统能够在倾斜地球同步轨道（IGSO）、中圆地球轨道（MEO）和地
球静止轨道（GEO）同时运行，而美国的 GPS 导航系统和俄罗斯的 GLONASS 导航系统只能在中圆地球轨
道运行。故选 D。
34．细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“The MEO satellites, in orbit 20, 000 kilometers above Earth, are a special
type of satellite providing global service, while the IGSO and GEO satellites, in an orbit 360, 000 kilometers above
Earth, mainly enhance regional service quality, according to Wang.”（据王介绍，在地球上空 2 万公里轨道上运
行的 MEO 卫星是提供全球服务的特殊卫星类型，而在地球上空 36 万公里轨道上运行的 IGSO 和 GEO 卫星
主要提高区域服务质量。）可知，中圆地球轨道卫星能够提供全球性的服务，所以它们非常重要。故选 A。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“China successfully sent the 52nd and 53rd satellites of its domestically
developed BeiDou Navigation Satellite System （BDS）-the last two medium Earth orbit （MEO） satellites for
the BDS-3 constellation（星座）－into space on Monday, marking the completion of the global navigation system's
core constellation deployment（部署）and this year's BDS satellite launch campaign.”（本周一，我国自主研发
的北斗导航卫星系统(BDS)的第 52 颗和第 53 颗卫星——BDS-3 星座的最后两颗中地轨道(MEO)卫星——成
功发射升空，标志着全球导航系统核心星座部署和今年的北斗卫星发射活动圆满完成。）可知，本文主要讲
了中国成功发射了北斗三号全球卫星导航系统的两颗卫星，这标志着北斗三号全球卫星导航系统核心星座
部署完成。所以短文的最佳标题为“北斗三号核心星座部署完成”。故选 C。

It's the start of a new year, when your fitness goals are set and you engage in the challenge. 36． Their
standards of “too big” are not even achievable in their lifetime, let alone a few months of training, which brings my
tips.
Set realistic goals! The process of building muscle is an absolutely slow one that requires strong will to gain.
Consistently causing protein synthesis （合成）in specific muscle fibers will allow muscle to develop. However, all
individuals are not equal in the process.37． Gaining muscle will happen quickly to a new gym-goer, but take a
long time for someone that has been training for years.
Stick to specific training for the goals you set to achieve. 38．This will require you to restrict the diet, and it
will prevent you gaining muscle. Diet reflects the training load. The training reflects your goals. It's like swimming
upstream, think strong, fast and flexible. If you are running a marathon, the goals are different and train
accordingly!
39． Fat has taken some time to develop, so it will not be lost overnight. Allow the hormonal triggers （生理
诱因）in the body to work more efficiently to regulate volume of food. Taking out additional sugars is one of the
most important steps to regulate volumes of food to switch off desire for food.
Once a goal is reached, do not go back to what you did before. When people finish their transformation, the
hormone profile is very weak to fat deposition （沉积）。Every training session should be a step toward a lasting
transformation, with a diet improving the level of exercise. 40．
A．Don't try to achieve too much at once.
B．Why do so few people see their goals through?
C．Give yourself a realistic timeline when it comes to fat loss.
D．Keeping running slowly leads to very big changes over time.
E.Appreciate that you are taking time for your own development.
F.Place restrictions on your diet and follow good food eating patterns.
G.Also, it depends on how long you have been training to achieve muscle growth.
【答案】36．B37．G38．A39．C40．F
【解析】本文是说明文，介绍了如何制定并实现你的健身目标。
36．根据上文“It's the start of a new year, when your fitness goals are set and you engage in the challenge.（新的一
年开始，你设定健身目标并开始挑战）”及空格处下一句“Their standards of “too big” are not even achievable in
their lifetime, let alone a few months of training, which brings my tips.（他们过大的标准甚至一生都无法实现，
更不用说几个月的训练了，这给我带来了提示。）”可知，此处说明人们制定健身计划，但是目标太宏大，
以至于很少人能够实现他们的目标。因此推断 B 项“Why do so few people see their goals through?（为什么很
少有人实现他们的目标呢？）”承接上文的制定健康目标，引出下文的不能实现的大目标。故选 B。
37．根据空格处上一句“The process of building muscle is an absolutely slow one that requires strong will to gain.”
可知，锻炼肌肉的过程是一个绝对缓慢的过程，需要坚强的意志来获得。G 项中的“muscle growth.”与上文
一致；下文“ Gaining muscle will happen quickly to a new gym-goer, but take a long time for someone that has
been training for years.”可知，健身房新来的锻炼者很快会有肌肉，但是对于已经接受多年训练的人来说，则
需要很长时间。因此推断肌肉训练因人而异。因此推断 G 项“Also, it depends on how long you have been
training to achieve muscle growth.（另外，这取决于你增长肌肉所需要训练的时间）”承上启下，且“how long”
与下句“for years”呼应。故选 G。
38．根据主题句“Stick to specific training for the goals you set to achieve.（要坚持你设定的目标。）”可知，本
段说明要坚持自己设定的目标；下文“If you are running a marathon, the goals are different and train accordingly!
（如果你要参加马拉松训练，目标将有所不同，并进行相应的训练。）”说明不同的目标有不同的训练，不
能同时设定多个目标，因为所需要的训练不同。因此推断不要指望一下子完成多个目标。A 项“Don't try to
achieve too much at once.（不要指望一下子就能实现）”符合语境。故选 A。
39．分析可知，空格处为段落标题。根据空格处下句“ Fat has taken some time to develop, so it will not be lost
overnight.”可知，脂肪的生成需要很长时间，因此减肥也并不可能一夜之间就能完成，因此推断要设定符合
现实的目标。因此推断 C 项“Give yourself a realistic timeline when it comes to fat loss.（当提到减肥的时候，
要给你自己设定一个符合现实的时间表）”为段落标题。故选 C。
40．根据上文“Every training session should be a step toward a lasting transformation, with a diet improving the
level of exercise.(每次训练都应该是迈向持久转变的一步，通过节食可以改善运动水平。”训练时要节食。F
项中的“restrictions on your diet”F 和“ good food eating patterns”与此处一致，因此推断 F 项“Place restrictions on
your diet and follow good food eating patterns.（达到健身目标后要防止脂肪回弹，因此还需要控制饮食，遵循
好的饮食习惯。）”符合语境，且 F 项中“diet”原词重现，与上文呼应。故选 F。

People who love to spend time in their kitchen know that after having a rough day it helps them to relieve
stress. Cooking up a favorite meal helps you forget about any of the issues you were focused on during the day.
36． Spending time alone in the kitchen after a long day at work allows you to simply recharge and enjoy the
solitude of your kitchen.
Cooking can be a great way to put off a daily task, and those who love to cook know this all too well. Putting
all your effort into making an elaborate meal or your favorite dessert is a great way to avoid anything that you have
been dreading.
37． Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that when you share a common interest like cooking with someone
from a different culture, you can easily form a bond. They see this as an amazing opportunity to share recipes and
dishes and learn from different cooking traditions and customs.
Eating out as a cook allows you to taste surprising ingredients in dishes. 38． Unusual flavors excite you and
unique interpretations of dishes have you asking the waiter exactly what was added to make the food so flavorful.
This might not excite your non-cook friends and family, but for you, it’s a great way to learn and improve. 39．
40． As a cook, you have learned to add your own personal tastes to recipes through extensive trial and error.
There are no limits for you when it comes to putting a new take on a traditional favorite, because, for you, cooking
is all about creation.
A．Going out to eat becomes a whole other experience.
B．Instead, you concentrate on creating something delicious.
C．Cooking is also a universal language.

Much like the season itself, the fresh fruits of the summer often don't remain long as we want them
to. All too often, you reach into the fridge and find that the strawberries you purchased just a few days
ago have turned moldy (发霉的). 16
Vinegar has an extensive and ever-increasing list of household uses. Because it is non-poisonous, unli
ke other washes, it can be used to clean fresh fruits. 17 Putting the fruit in the mi
xture of one part vinegar and three parts water can remove 98 percent of bacteria. It will make the fruit
much cleaner than it was when washed with an antibacterial wash or with water alone. 18
By following the same process, you can prevent the growth of mold for far longer than if you have
n't washed them with the mixture. But be careful: this trick doesn't kill any mold that has already grow
n. 19 Besides, try to make the strawberries as dry as possible before storing them i
n the fridge. You can pat them dry with paper towel, and then pack them away in a clean container.
20 Actually, there is a simple solution to your concern. A thorough wash with
plain water afterward will ensure there are no unwanted tastes left.
A．So make sure you do it before they go bad.
B．Yet, many washes can keep them fresh longer.
C．You may worry your berries will taste like vinegar.
D．So you may not really need those pricey washes at all.
E．It is even more effective in cleaning fruits than most washes.
F．You'd better use vinegar to wash the berries before enjoying them.
G．A new trick, however, can greatly expand their shelf life using vinegar.
【答案】16.G17.E18.D19.A20.C
【解析】本文是说明文。文章讲述的是如何使用醋让草莓保鲜保存更长久的操作方法与几个注意点。
16.根据空格前句子“you reach into the fridge and find that the strawberries you purchased just a few day
s ago have turned moldy”（你打开冰箱后发现你几天前购买的草莓已经发霉了）可知，面对这种情况，你
会想到是否有什么办法能让草莓保存更长欠，而 G 项内容 expand their shelf life 正符合这种逻辑。故选 G
项。
17.根据本空格前句子“Vinegar has an extensive and ever-increasing list of household uses. Because it is n
on-poisonous, unlike other washes, it can be used to clean fresh fruits.”（在家务使用方面醋有广泛的用途，
而且在一直增长。因为无毒，与别的清洗液不同的是，它能用于洗新鲜水果）可知，“它能用于洗新鲜水果”
与 E 选项中的“It is even more effective in cleaning fruits than most washes”（它在洗水果方面甚至比其它
大多数的清洗液更有效）前后句形成递进关系，符合逻辑思维。故选 E 项。
18.根据空格前一句“It will make the fruit much cleaner than it was when washed with an antibacterial wa
sh or with water alone.”（如果与抗菌液或单独与水一起使用，醋能使水果洗得更干净）可知，“So you ma
y not really need those pricey washes at all.”（你根本没必要买那些价格昂贵的其他的清洁液），D 项符合
逻辑。故选 D 项。
19.根据空格前句子“this trick doesn't kill any mold that has already grown.”（这个办法不能洗掉那些已经
长出来的霉菌）可知，A 项“So make sure you do it before they go bad.”（所以要确保在草莓变质变坏前，
你可用醋洗）符合逻辑，句中“go bad 变坏”与前句中的“mold 霉菌”相对应。故选 A 项。
20.根据最后一句“A thorough wash with plain water afterward will ensure there are no unwanted tastes le
ft.”（之后用清水彻底洗一下，会确保不会有任何不想要的味道留下来）可知，C 项“You may worry your
berries will taste like vinegar.”（你会担忧草莓会有醋的味道）是本段的中心句，符合逻辑。故选 C 项。
“七选五”题考查对前后文间的逻辑推理能力，学会瞻前顾后，细心审题，从选项中找相关的词，与空格前后
句形成正确的逻辑。如第 5 小题，“担忧草莓会有醋的味道”，与最后一句“确保不会有任何不想要的味道留
下来”之间存在紧密联系。

Guilt is one of the most painful emotions that humans experience but also one of the most common. Nobody
enjoys feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: it alerts a person when he or she has done
something wrong. This enables the person to make amends and work to heal relationships that were damaged by
their actions. 36．
Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way. It can cause people to avoid others
because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inaction. Some try to avoid the pain of guilt by
turning to other worse habits. 37．
The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you're dealing with. For false guilt, it’s important to
recognize that the guilt does not reflect an actual ethical failure.
For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself. 38． No one is
perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits is actually a sign of humility.
39． Even when you don’t need to feel guilty, these feelings are real and normal. Try to balance them with
positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change.
40． If so, don’t try to conceal it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes, and try to
avoid committing the same acts again. Getting on well with the person you hurt should make your guilty feelings
fade.
Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it well.
A．Other people experience false guilt because of high expectations for themselves.
B．It’s possible that you feel guilty because you actually did something wrong.
C．Others try to cover up their guilt by blaming others or becoming angry.
D．It can also motivate people to avoid making similar mistakes later.
E.In this case, it’s important to remind yourself that you have limits.
F.Moreover, guilt can result in physical and mental discomforts meanwhile.
G.It’s also important to acknowledge what you are feeling.
【答案】36．D37．C38．E39．G40．B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。内疚是人类经历的最痛苦的情绪之一，也是最常见的情绪之一。但如果你好好
利用它，它是有好处的。文章列举了内疚感可以带来的好处以及如何处理内疚感。
36．根据上文“Guilt is one of the most painful emotions that humans experience but also one of the most common.
Nobody enjoys feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: it alerts a person when he or she has
done something wrong. This enables the person to make amends and work to heal relationships that were damaged
by their actions. (内疚是人类经历的最痛苦的情感之一，也是最常见的一种。没有人喜欢内疚，但这种情绪
有一个重要的目的：当一个人做错了什么事时，它会提醒他。这能使人做出补偿，努力修复因他们的行为
而受损的关系)”可知，本句为叙述内疚带来的优点，D 选项中 it 指代上文中 this emotion。故 D 选项“它也可
以激励人们避免以后犯类似的错误”符合语境，故选 D。
37．根据上文“Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way. It can cause people to
avoid others because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inaction. Some try to avoid the pain
of guilt by turning to other worse habits.(然而，如果处理不当，内疚是毁灭性的。它会导致人们回避他人，因
为他们过于不好意思为自己的行为或不作为道歉。一些人试图通过养成其他更坏的习惯来避免内疚的痛苦)”
可知，上文提到了人们对内疚的反应，且上文中 some 与 C 选项中 others 构成 some…others…结构，表示“一
些人……其他人……”。故 C 选项“其他人则试图通过责备别人或生气来掩盖他们的内疚”符合语境，故选 C。
38．根据上文“For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself.(例如，
一些错误的内疚感在于没有达到你对自己的期望上)”以及后文“No one is perfect, and no one can do everything,
so admitting your limits is actually a sign of humility.(没有人是完美的，也没有人可以做所有的事，所以承认自
己的局限性实际上是一种谦卑的表现)”可知，本段主要说明了错误负罪感产生的原因是认为没有达到对自己
的期望，后文则提到了人无完人，可知对这种情况的解决办法是：提醒自己有局限性。后文中 admitting your
limits 对应到 E 选项中 you have limits。故 E 选项“在这种情况下，提醒自己有局限性是很重要的”符合语境，
故选 E。
39．根据后文“Even when you don’t need to feel guilty, these feelings are real and normal. Try to balance them with
positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change.(即使你不需要感到内疚，这些感觉是
真实和正常的。试着用积极的想法来平衡它们，但要意识到情绪的改变往往需要时间)”可知，本段主要强调
了如何处理自己的感受，后文中 these feelings 对应到 G 选项中 what you are feeling。故 G 选项“承认你的感
受也很重要”符合语境，故选 G。
40．根据后文“If so, don’t try to conceal it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes, and try to
avoid committing the same acts again. Getting on well with the person you hurt should make your guilty feelings
fade.(如果是这样，不要试图隐瞒。道歉并请求原谅。从错误中学习，尽量避免再犯同样的错误。与被你伤
害的人相处融洽，你的愧疚感就会消退)”可知，后文提到了不要试图隐瞒和道歉请求原谅，可推知本句是在
说明确实做错了事情而感到内疚的情况。B 选项中 did something wrong 与后文中 your mistakes 相对应。故 B
选项“你有可能因为你确实做错了什么事而感到内疚”符合语境，故选 B。

A popular Yale University psychology course now available for free online. I decided to see what it was
all about. 36． After taking the course, I’m convinced that anyone who adopts and practices the strategies provided
can truly become happier.
Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful encounter with a stranger. One of the
most complex things we can engage with is another person’s mind. 37．In fact, many studies have found that the
more you use social media, the less happy you are. This is because social media—especially picture-heavy
platforms—present things others have that you don’t, making you want more and appreciate less.
38．However, varying your approach is key. If you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it may
begin to feel like an obligation or a boring task. The reactions you got made you feel better about yourselves.
Kindness brings other happiness benefits, too. Helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and
problems, which can boost happiness. And being generous won’t increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Perhaps surprisingly, kindness improves overall physical health.
Taking exercise causes hormonal changes in the body that make you feel good and help interrupt negative
thoughts. Clinically depressed people who exercised regularly improved just as much as those who took
antidepressants.39．But anecdotally, most people who exercise will tell you they feel better.
Shortchanging your sleep can make you bad-tempered.40．A lot of people know that sleep is good but some
are forced to sacrifice sleep because they have other things taking up their time.
A．I was curious to see what the course was recommending.
B．Volunteering to help someone can make you happier than doing self-centered things.
C．Getting enough shut-eye can boost your mood.
D．Ways of our minds trick us into being less happy.
E.After all, I’ve been writing about happiness for years.
F.Online friends don’t count.
G.Getting out of a depression is not exactly the same as happiness.
【答案】36．E37．F38．B39．G40．C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了作者在网上学习了耶鲁大学流行的心理学课程后，了解到的一
些能让人变得更快乐的建议。
36．根据上文“A popular Yale University psychology course now available for free online. I decided to see what it
was all about.(耶鲁大学流行的心理学课程现在可以在网上免费学习。我决定去看看到底是怎么回事)”以及后
文“After taking the course, I’m convinced that anyone who adopts and practices the strategies provided can truly
become happier.(在上了这门课之后，我相信任何采纳并实践这些策略的人都能真正变得更快乐)”可推知，本
句承接上文说明作者决定去网上学习心理学课程的原因。故 E 选项“毕竟，多年来我一直在写关于幸福的文
章”符合语境，故选 E。
37．根据上文“Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful encounter with a stranger.
One of the most complex things we can engage with is another person’s mind.(和朋友重新联系会增加幸福感，和
陌生人有意义的接触也会增加幸福感。我们能接触到的最复杂的事情之一就是另一个人的思想)”以及后文
“In fact, many studies have found that the more you use social media, the less happy you are. This is because social
media—especially picture-heavy platforms—present things others have that you don’t, making you want more and
appreciate less.(事实上，许多研究发现，你使用社交媒体越多，你就越不快乐。这是因为社交媒体——尤其
是图片丰富的平台——展示了别人拥有而你没有的东西，让你想要的更多，感激的更少)”可知，上文提到要
和人接触会增加幸福感，后文则提到了社交媒体对人的负面影响，可推知本句是在说明接触网友并不算是
与人接触。故 F 选项“网友不算”符合语境，故选 F。
38．根据后文“However, varying your approach is key. If you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it
may begin to feel like an obligation or a boring task. The reactions you got made you feel better about yourselves.
Kindness brings other happiness benefits, too. Helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and
problems, which can boost happiness. And being generous won’t increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Perhaps surprisingly, kindness improves overall physical health.(然而，改变你的方法是关键。如果你一遍又一
遍地做同样的善事，你可能开始的时候回觉得这是一种义务或一项无聊的任务。你得到的反应让你对自己
感觉更好。善良还能带来其他的快乐。帮助别人可以把我们的注意力从自己的烦恼和问题上转移开，这可
以增加幸福感。慷慨不会增加压力荷尔蒙皮质醇的水平。也许令人惊讶的是，善良能改善整体的身体健康)”
可知，本段主要说明的是帮助别人能使人快乐，后文中 Helping others 可与 B 选项中 help someone 相对应。
故 B 选项“志愿帮助别人比做以自我为中心的事情更能让你快乐”符合语境，故选 B。
39．根据上文“Taking exercise causes hormonal changes in the body that make you feel good and help interrupt
negative thoughts. Clinically depressed people who exercised regularly improved just as much as those who took
antidepressants.(锻炼身体会引起体内荷尔蒙的变化，这会让你感觉良好，并有助于打断消极的想法。定期锻
炼的临床抑郁症患者与服用抗抑郁药的患者的改善效果一样好)”以及后文“But anecdotally, most people who
exercise will tell you they feel better.(但有趣的是，大多数锻炼的人会告诉你他们感觉好多了)”可知，本段主要
说明的是锻炼身体可以让人感觉良好，并且摆脱抑郁，上文中 depressed people 可与 G 选项中 depression 相
对应。故 G 选项“摆脱抑郁并不等同于快乐”符合语境，故选 G。
40．根据上文“Shortchanging your sleep can make you bad-tempered.(睡眠不足会让你脾气暴躁)”可知，上文提
到睡眠不足会导致脾气暴躁，那么反过来，充足的睡眠可以改善你的情绪。故 C 选项“充足的睡眠可以改善
你的情绪”符合语境，故选 C。

In 1993, Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson set out to find the secret to turning a typical teen into a
violin virtuoso. His answer 16．The figure was called "the magic number of greatness" by journalist and author
Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book Outliers.
The concept of “practice makes perfect" has been rooted into the heads of ambitious youths since the Roman
Empire. 17． But can it be that simple? Not every expert agrees. While training is essential to learning, spending a
lot of time practicing something over and over doesn't mean you'll go professional, says Zach Hambrick, a
psychologist at Michigan State University.
18．In reviewing different studies about the role of practice in music, games, sports, education, and
professional and success, Hambrick found that practice time accounted for only about one-quarter of any difference
in skill level. Other factors-like age, intelligence, and natural gifts-all played big roles in setting apart the better
from the best.
19．Height might be useful for a basketball star, and a wide vocal range could help you win a place in the
chorus. And no amount of practice will make you taller or able to hit notes across every octave. 20．
Of course this doesn't mean we should all quit practicing, Hambrick says. Nobody pops out of the womb
knowing how to dance or plot a sneaky checkmate. But perfection in 10,000 hours? There's no guarantee.
A．Never too old to practise.
B．Practice: 10,000 hours of it.
C．Genes in particular shape physical and intellectual ability.
D．Large amounts of piano playing will not make your fingers grow longer.
E. Top sportsmen and musicians have all put in this amount of hard work.
F. So anyone can be a Yo-Yo Ma as long as they devote enough time to practising.
G. Being great isn't just about work quantity but also about the workers themselves.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。虽然训练对学习来说是必不可少的，但花大量时间反复练习并不意味着你就会
变得更专业。文章主要说明了影响练习效果的一些因素。
16．根据上文“In 1993, Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson set out to find the secret to turning a typical teen
into a violin virtuoso.(1993 年，瑞典心理学家 K. Anders Ericsson 开始着手寻找把一个普通青少年变成小提琴
演奏家的秘密)”以及后文“The figure was called "the magic number of greatness" by journalist and author
Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book Outliers.(记者兼作家 Malcolm Gladwell 在其 2008 年出版的《异类》一书

后文则提到这个数字，可推知本句是在说明这个秘密与一个数字有关，B 选项中 10,000 hours 对应后文中
The figure。故 B 选项“练习 1 万个小时”符合语境，故选 B。
17．根据上文“The concept of “practice makes perfect" has been rooted into the heads of ambitious youths since the

更专业)”可知，上文提到了“熟能生巧”强调练习的重要性，后文则提到花大量时间反复练习并不意味着你就
会变得更专业，可推知本句与上文构成因果关系，说明投入足够的时间练习的重要性，后文中 spending a lot
of time practicing 可与 F 选项中 devote enough time to practising 对应。故 F 选项“所以只要投入足够的时间练
习，任何人都可以成为马友友”符合语境，故选 F。
18．根据后文“In reviewing different studies about the role of practice in music, games, sports, education, and
professional and success, Hambrick found that practice time accounted for only about one-quarter of any difference
in skill level. Other factors-like age, intelligence, and natural gifts-all played big roles in setting apart the better
from the best.(在回顾了关于练习在音乐、游戏、体育、教育、职业和成功中的作用的不同研究后，汉布里克
发现练习时间只占技能水平差异的四分之一。其他因素，如年龄、智力和天赋，都在区分优劣中起着重要
作用)”可知，后文提到个人的年龄、智力和天赋，都在区分优劣中起着重要作用，说明优秀不仅与练习量有
关，还与个人本身素质有关系。故 G 选项“优秀不仅仅与工作量有关，还与员工本身有关”符合语境，故选
G。
19．根据后文“Height might be useful for a basketball star, and a wide vocal range could help you win a place in the
chorus. And no amount of practice will make you taller or able to hit notes across every octave.(身高对篮球明星
来说可能很有用，宽广的音域可以帮助你在合唱团中赢得一席之地。再多的练习也不会让你长高，也不会
让你唱出每个八度音阶上的音符)”可知，后文提到了能力的提高要受到自身素质的限制，即特定的基因塑造
了在某方面的身体素质和智力能力。故 C 选项“特定的基因塑造身体素质和智力能力”符合语境，故选 C。
20．根据上文“Height might be useful for a basketball star, and a wide vocal range could help you win a place in the
chorus. And no amount of practice will make you taller or able to hit notes across every octave.(身高对篮球明星
来说可能很有用，宽广的音域可以帮助你在合唱团中赢得一席之地。再多的练习也不会让你长高，也不会
让你唱出每个八度音阶上的音符)”可知，上文列举了能力的提高要受到身体条件的客观影响，本句为本段最
后一句，应承接上文继续举例说明练习受到客观事实影响，故 D 选项“大量的钢琴演奏不会使你的手指变长”
符合语境，故选 D。

A dog snoring away the afternoon on the living room floor. Walruses napping belly-up on a beach. Lions
stretching out on the grassland. These sleepy scenes may make people wonder why these other mammals（哺乳动
物）seem to be getting so much more sleep than humans. Do they actually need more sleep? Are they just sleeping
because they can? 36． Be prepared for a surprising and fascinating answer to these questions:
37．
Though constantly studied, sleep is one of the great mysteries modern science hasn’t completely cracked. “We
really don’t know what sleep is for,” said Dr. David Raizen.
38．Across many studies of mammalian sleep, scientists have observed that less sleep is connected with larger
body sizes. A reason for this may be that the larger an animal is, the more calories it needs, and the more time it
needs to spend eating.
However, the matter is far from settled. 39． Some differences in observed sleep might not be what they seem.
Just because a house cat sleeps for 18 hours a day doesn’t mean it needs all that sleep to function, Raizen said.
Some sleep is probably a matter of convenience — done when it’s not safe for an animal to be out, when food
availability is low or simply because there’s nothing else to do.
As for human sleep? Raizen said the most important thing is for people to listen to their bodies and get as
much sleep as they feel they need. 40．
A．Nobody knows.
B．Should humans be sleeping more, too?
C．More efforts are being put in interpreting sleep better.
D．Scientists are doing research trying to find the answer.
E. Sleep is complex, hard to measure in wild animals and even harder to interpret.
F. One idea is that sleep in mammals has something to do with body size and diet.
G. It is about eight hours for most folks but might be as few as five and as many as eleven.
【答案】36．B37．D38．F39．E40．G
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲了包括人类在内的哺乳动物的一些睡眠现象，并分析了可能的原因，
尽管睡眠经常被研究，但睡眠仍然是现代科学尚未完全破解的最大谜团之一。
36．根据上文“Do they actually need more sleep? Are they just sleeping because they can?”（它们真的需要更多
睡眠吗？它们睡觉只是因为它们可以吗？）和下文“Be prepared for a surprising and fascinating answer to these
questions:（对这些问题惊人的答案做好准备吧。）”可知，空格处是一个问句，且上文提到的是动物，由此
推知此处应提到人类。B 项 Should humans be sleeping more, too?( 人类也应该多睡点吗？)符合语境。故选 B。
37．此空独立成段，故应起到承上启下的作用，前文是“Be prepared for a surprising and fascinating answer to
these questions:（对这些问题惊人的答案做好准备吧。）”，下文讲的是科学家所做的研究。结合选项可知选
项 D. Scientists are doing research trying to find the answer.( 科学家们正在研究，试图找到答案。)能起到承上
启下的作用，选项中的 research 对应下文的 study。故选 D。
38．空格处是首句，起到总结段落大意的作用。根据下文“scientists have observed that less sleep is connected
with larger body sizes. A reason for this may be that the larger an animal is, the more calories it needs, and the more
time it needs to spend eating.（科学家观察到睡眠不足与体型增大有关。其中一个原因可能是，动物越大，它
需要的卡路里就越多，它吃东西的时间也就越长。）”可知本段主要讲睡眠与动物体型及饮食的关系。F 项“其
中一个想法是哺乳动物的睡眠与体型和饮食有关”。故选 F。
39．根据上文“However, the matter is far from settled.（然而，这个问题还远远没有解决。）”及下文“Some
differences in observed sleep might not be what they seem.（观察到的睡眠中的一些差异可能并不像它们看起来
的那样。）”由此可知睡眠为题是一个非常复杂的问题，结合选项可知选项 E.Sleep is complex, hard to measure
in wild animals and even harder to interpret.(睡眠是复杂的，很难在野生动物身上测量，甚至更难解释。)符合
语境。故选 E。
40．空格处尾句，且本段主要讲人类的睡眠，故空格处要与本段话题一致且衔接上文自然，上文是“Raizen said
the most important thing is for people to listen to their bodies and get as much sleep as they feel they need.（Raizen
说最重要的是人们倾听自己身体的声音，根据自己的需要进行足够的睡眠。）”，结合选项可知 G. It is about
eight hours for most folks but might be as few as five and as many as eleven.( 对于大多数人来说，这个时间大约
是 8 个小时，但可能只有 5 个小时，也可能多达十一个小时。)上文承接自然。故选 G。
