(2019·四川·一模)“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did. Sean told me two days ago.”
What are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happens to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at LintonHigh School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(閑話).___1___, which are just as follows.
___2___ Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, troubles at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicer the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”.___3___
Gossip can also have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act.
___4___ Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
___5___ The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
A. I have noticed three effects of gossip
B. The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.
C. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.
D. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.
E. Recently, studies have found some most effective ways to deal with gossip in our daily life.
F. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority
G. That is to say, you may be consciously or not affected by words and expressions when chatting with your friend.
【答案與解析】這是一篇說明文。文章講述了流言蜚語有三個重要影響。
1. 根據(jù)上文Many of our conversations are gossip.(我們的許多談話都是閑談。)以及下文主要內(nèi)容可知,此處說明流言蜚語的三個影響,故選A。
2. 根據(jù)本段最后一句People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.(人們通常認為說閑話的人是無害的,但是殘酷的謊言會引起痛苦。)可知,流言蜚語的第一個消極影響就是它會傷害被談論到的人。故選C。
3. 根據(jù)上文Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”.(分享最新的謠言可以讓一個人覺得自己很重要,因為他或她知道一些別人不知道的事情。同樣,聽到最新的謠言會讓人覺得自己是“群體”的一份子。)可推知,說閑話是令人滿意的,因為它給人一種歸屬感,甚至優(yōu)越感。故選F。
4. 根據(jù)下文Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.(換句話說,這意味著如果你周圍的每個人都在嘲笑約翰穿的衣服或簡說的話,那么你可以打賭,穿著或說類似的話也會讓你受到同樣的負面關注。)可知,流言蜚語對監(jiān)督一個群體的行為很重要。故選D。
5. 根據(jù)下文The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.(下次你想要傳播最新消息的時候,想想你為什么要八卦,你的“有趣的故事”可能會產(chǎn)生什么影響。)可知,流言蜚語的影響因情況而異。故選B。

(2019·廣東·二模)The word “boycott” comes to English through Irish, which can be used as both a verb and a noun. As a verb, boycott means to refuse to do something as a form of protest (抗 議).People who boycott something are often looking for social, economic (經(jīng)濟的)or political change._____31_____People stop using goods or services during a boycott until changes are made. ____32____ In the mid-1800s, a young man, Charles Boycott, worked as a land agent for the owner of a large country farm in Ireland. ____33____Later, the farmers demanded lower rents. Boycott refused, and even kicked some of them out of the farm. As a result, another man named Davitt came into conflict with Boycott.
In 1879,Davitt founded a group called the Land League,which sought to help poor farmers. He suggested to the farmers that they refuse to do business with Boycott._____34_____ Since Boycott’s workers and servants refused to carry out his orders, the crops in his fields???went bad. The community turned their back on the Boycott's family and they were forced to move.
At the end of 1880,some British newspapers began using Boycott’s name when reporting on a protest of unfair methods or actions._____35_____By the late 1880s,???The New York Times was reporting on boycotts.

B. In fact, it began with a man’s name.
C. This form of protest proved effective.
D. However, its original meaning is still unknown.
E. As a noun,the word boycott has a somewhat different meaning.
F. Otherwise,his last name may become a word people use when they protest.
G. Boycott’s job was to collect rents from the farmers who rented fields of the farm.
【答案與解析】這是一篇說明文。短文介紹了單詞“boycott”的來歷以及所表達的意思。
31. 由“The word “boycott” comes to English through Irish, which can be used as both a verb and a noun. As a verb, boycott means to refuse to do something as a form of protest (抗 議”可知,“Boycott”既能用作名詞,也能用作動詞。作動詞使,“boycott”意思是以抗議的形式拒絕做某事。所以小題1要說明它作名詞使的意思,故E選項“作為名詞,“boycott”多少有些不一樣的意思”切題。故選E項。
32. 由“In the mid-1800s, a young man, Charles Boycott, worked as a land agent for the owner of a large country farm in Ireland”可知,在18世紀中期,一個叫做查爾斯·博伊科特的年輕人在愛爾蘭做大莊園主的地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀人。所以小題2要總說這個單詞源于一個人的名字。然后在具體說明。故B選項“這個單詞源于一個人的名字”切題。故選B項。
33. 由“Later, the farmers demanded lower rents.”可知,佃農(nóng)要求降低租金。所以小題3要說明博伊科特的工作職責以此承接下文。故G選項“博伊科特的職責是從在莊園種植莊稼的佃農(nóng)那兒收取租金”切題。故選G項。
34. 由“He suggested to the farmers that they refuse to do business with Boycott. 4 Since Boycott’s workers and servants refused to carry out his orders, the crops in his fields???went bad. ”可知,達維特建議佃農(nóng)拒絕和Boycott做生意,博伊科特的工人和仆人拒絕執(zhí)行他的命令,導致博伊科特地里的莊稼都壞了。所以小題4要起到承上啟下的作用。故A選項“結果證實這種形式的抗議非常奏效”切題。故選C項。
35. 由“At the end of 1880,some British newspapers began using Boycott’s name when reporting on a protest of unfair methods or actions. 5 By the late 1880s,???The New York Times was reporting on boycotts.”可知,1880年底,一些英國的報紙開始用博伊科特的名字來報告與不公平的方法或者行動有關的抗議活動。到19世紀80年代末,《紐約時報》一直在報道聯(lián)合抵抗的新聞。所以從1880年到19世紀80年代末這種用法很快就傳開了也就是小題5所要說明內(nèi)容。故A選項“這種用法很快就傳開了”切題。故選A項。

How to Build a Better Breakfast
We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal. ___51___ But it's not just when you eat; it's what you eat. These tips will help you really rise and shine:
1. Eat even if you're not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it's a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism(新陳代謝)and keep you from getting hungry later. ___52___
2. Be boring.
Changing what you eat is a good idea in theory, but if you are watching your weight, you might want to stick with the same old menu. People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists(腰圍)and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome(代謝綜合征)than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day. ___53___
3. Add peanuts or peanut butter.
By eating peanuts or peanut butter, the carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are taken in more slowly and blood sugar does not rise as high. ___54___ So they are less likely to snack later.
4. ___55___
There's an old saying that advises ''Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. " It's worth following. Those who eat a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a 200-calorie meal. They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds and have lower levels of ghrelin, the "hunger hormone(激素).
A. Go big.
B. Pile on the produce.
C. Other studies link skipping breakfast with a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes(糖尿病).
D. So it's worth making the effort to hold it steady.
E. It could set you up for overeating throughout the day.
F. Just a banana will do the trick.
G. Plus women feel fuller for up to 12 hours after eating the peanut butter or peanuts.

52. 根據(jù)空前的“Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism(新陳代謝)and keep you from getting hungry later.”可知,起床后90分鐘內(nèi)吃東西會加速你的新陳代謝,讓你不會感到餓,此處補充說明,說的是關于吃的東西,故F項(一根香蕉就可以了)符合語境。
53. 根據(jù)空前的“People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists(腰圍)and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome(代謝綜合征)than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day.”可知,與那些保持早晨卡路里攝入量不變的人相比,那些不改變早餐卡路里攝入量的人腰圍更大,患代謝綜合征的幾率也更高,不管他們接下來一天吃了多少,此處總結上文,故D項(所以努力保持穩(wěn)定是值得的)符合語境。
54. 根據(jù)空后的“So they are less likely to snack later.”可知,所以她們以后不太可能吃零食,此處解釋原因,故G項(此外,女性在食用花生醬或花生后,會感到長達12小時的飽腹感)符合語境。
55. 根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容,特別是第一句“There's an old saying that advises ''Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. "”可知,早餐要像國王一樣吃,午餐要像王子一樣吃,晚餐要像乞丐一樣吃”,再結合后面的對比可知,本段講的是早餐要吃就吃好,故A項(做大點)符合語境。

(2020·陜西·西安中學一模)We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here's what you need to know about college majors before you commit.
What is a major?
___66___Beyond general college requirements, you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.

When do I declare a major?
This varies widely across schools and programs.____68____Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.
___69___
Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind. Every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.
What are minors and double majors?
If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration.___70___A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.
A. Can I change my mind?
B. Is my major time-consuming?
C. It's your specialized area of study in college.

67. 根據(jù)上文If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses.可知,如果你打算在大學畢業(yè)后獲得專業(yè)學位,您可能需要某些特定的課程。F項(但許多未來的醫(yī)生主修非科學相關領域。)與之形成對比,闡釋了“The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future.(你的專業(yè)選擇既不會預測也不會保證你的未來)”這一句話,故選F項。
68. 根據(jù)上文This varies widely across schools and programs可知,關于什么時候選專業(yè),不同學校和項目的差異很大。根據(jù)下文Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.可知,其他學校則要求你在上第一節(jié)課時就申請專業(yè)。承上啟下,E項(有些學??赡軙o你一天或以上的時間去決定)切題,故選E項。
69. 根據(jù)這一段中If you change your major late in the game可知,這一段與換專業(yè)有關,故選A項(我可以改變主意嗎?)
70. 根據(jù)上文If one field of study doesn' t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration.可知,如果一個研究領域不能滿足您的智力需求,考慮輔修。輔修專業(yè)與主專業(yè)相似的地方是它們都是學術集中的領域。承接上文,G項(唯一的區(qū)別是它不需要上那么多課。)切題,故選G項。

The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.___101___
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”___102___ After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.
But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. ___103___Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.___104___ And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.___105___You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.
A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.
B. They cry for different reasons.
C. She gives crying exercises.
D. It contains a chemical against infection.
E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.
F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.
G. But once you’re safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry.

Evaluating Sources of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. ___126___
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. ______127______
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour "contributes to" or is "associated with" an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. ___128___ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. ____129____ Evaluate "scientific" statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖騙術).
___130___ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
【答案與解析】這是一篇說明文。文章針對如何對來自各種渠道的健康信息進行分類整理和判斷給出了一些建議。
126. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。第一段簡要提出我們要學會分析來自各種渠道的健康信息,下文接著就如何對這些信息進行分類整理給予一些建議。G項連接前后,故選G。
127. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)該段主題句的第一句Go to the original source.(去探尋最初的來源。)可知,本段都是圍繞這個話題展開的,D項中的the original research與主題句相照應,符合本段意思。故選D。
128. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。F項與第三段的主題句Watch for misleading language.相關,其中incorrectly explained與misleading相照應。故選F。
129. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由空格前的Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.(對廣告中所包含的信息一定要特別當心)及該段中的be aware of quackery (警惕江湖騙術)可知,B項(廣告的目的是賣出商品)符合該段語境。為了達到這個目的,商品的廣告中可能包含虛假信息。故選B。
130. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由該段中but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us可知,盡管我們有來自家人及朋友的大量信息,但歸根結底還是要依靠我們自己來作出正確的選擇。A項概括全段內(nèi)容,故選A。

(2020·四川·北京師范大學成都實驗中學一模)Secret codes (密碼) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____136____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. ____137____For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
___138___You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ___139___For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” ___140___However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
【答案與解析】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了密碼的重要性、密碼的設置方式、密碼本的作用。
136. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上句講人們使用密碼已經(jīng)幾千年了,下句講密碼破譯工作??瞻滋幒兔艽a破譯有關,D項內(nèi)容符合語境,連接上下文。故選D。
137. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。后面的例子是來證明人們設置密碼時往往會利用一些單詞的第一個字母作為密碼,E項符合此內(nèi)容,故選E。
138. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文的解釋內(nèi)容可知介紹了密碼設置的又一種方法,G項符合此意,故選G。
139. 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文的例子及上句中的a code book可以判斷該句是介紹密碼本的使用,F(xiàn)項符合此意,承上啟下。故選F。
