根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Passage 1

College applications are submitted, and for some, it’ s time for interviews.

36 You might be pleasantly surprised to find that many college admissions staffers today are young, multicultural, and far from cranky. Colleges want you to like them, even if they don’ t accept you. So the interview is not a test.

Here are some tips for you.

Control the conversation. The more the student can make the interview a conversation, not a question-answer session, the more success they are likely to have. 37

Prepare, but don’ t recite your answers. You can prepare for some questions, including:“Tell us about yourself.” “What do you think has been your biggest achievement or contribution to your high school or your community?” “Why do you want to attend our school?” 38

39 Seems a little silly to even mention this, but students unknowingly put themselves out of the selection for reasons including: not turning off their cell phones, arriving late, dressing inappropriately, behaving rudely, making a bad first impression by slouching(无精打采) ,chewing gum, acting disinterested, and so on.

Follow up. 40 Be sure to mention something discussed in the interview. If you are still interested in attending, show your enthusiasm in the note.

A. Be respectful.

B. Send a thank-you note to the interviewer.

C. The best way to do that is to be honest and share your personality.

D. Be interested.

E. The first thing to do is to get rid of the image of the elderly, strange admissions person.

F. After the interview, you may telephone the missions person.

G. Think about these questions, practice responding, and get feedback from someone you

trust.

Passage 2

If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone.

Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. __16__ Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English. 1.Greetings

Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if yo u're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. __17__

2.Getting to the point

There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? __18__ However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?” 3.Interrupting without offence

Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. __19__ Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”.

4.Closing the call

This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. __20__ Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.

A.Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.

B.Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.

C.You should make a little small talk at the beginning.

D.You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.

E.So it may be difficult to get a word in.

F.Practice English through phone calls.

G.Never fear, though!

Passage 3

No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with things that go wrong from your customer’s point of view. Complaints can be a great source of information for organizat ions to make corrections as well as further improvements. __36__.

▲ You should listen actively to what the customer has to say by maintaining comfortable eye

contact. __37__.

▲ __38__.It’s important for you to know that your apology must appear sincere t o the customer, and not an empty excuse. And also you should show the customer you’ve accepted the responsibility and provide him with choices or assure the customer you’ll do something about his complaint.

▲ Talk with the client and discover the best mea ns to resolve his problem. __39__In this case it’s important to let your customer know an estimation(估计) of how long it will take to take action on his complaint.

▲ A simple “thank you” is one way to let the customer know you appreciate the time and effor t they’ve taken to inform you about a problem with your company’s service or product that you need to know about.

▲ Create a procedure for recording different types of customer complaints. __40__.

A. Listen to your customer’s complaints and you can impro ve your service.

B. There will be times when you’ll be unable to resolve the issue immediately.

C. When receiving a complaint, you should apologize for the failure the customer has identified.

D. They are a valuable source of information to determine various root causes that need to

be addressed within your company.

E. So it’s important to learn to deal with customer complaints efficiently.

F. Don’t feel ashamed of the failure in your service or products.

G. You should also show your customer that you do understand him by giving full attention.

Passage 4

A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 16 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 17 After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants. 18 That means harmful material may get into our food supply.

19 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end

it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.

The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 20 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.

But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.

A. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.

B. But people can make a big difference.

C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.

D. Then, fish may eat the plastics.

E. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.

F. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.

G. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.

Passage 5

Learn How to Make a Great First Impression

With every new encounter (会面), you have just a few seconds to make a good first impression and it’s almost impossible ever to change it. 36 This article provides some useful tips to help you do this.

Be on time

Someone you are meeting for the first time is not interested in your “good excuse” for running late. Plan to arrive a few minutes early. 37 Arriving early is much better than arriving late, and is the first step in creating a great first impression.

38

If you are feeling uncomfortable and on edge, this can make the other person ill at ease and that’s a sure way to create the wrong impression. If you are calm and confident, then the other person will feel more at ease. So have a firm foundation for making that first impression a good one.

Present yourself appropriately

39 They say a pictur e is worth a thousand words, and so the “picture” you first present says much about you to the person you are meeting. Is your appearance saying the right things to help create the right first impression? Appropriate dressing and grooming (仪表) help make

a good first impression and also help you feel “the part”, and therefore feel more calm and confident.

40

A. Be open and confident

B. Be yourself, be at ease

C. Of course physical appearance matters.

D. So it’s worth giving each new encounter your best shot.

E. Add them all up and you are well on your way to a good first impression.

F. And allow flexibility for possible delays in traffic or taking a wrong turn.

G. Much of what you need to do to make a good impression is common sense.

Passage 6

“As easy as fal ling off a log(圆木)” is often used to describes a job that does not take much effort.

36 It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it. you might hear a student say to her friend that her spelling test was “as easy as falling off a log.”

37 . And their meaning is as easy to understand as “falling off a log.” One is, “easy as pie”. Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie. Unless it is a “piece of cake."

Another expressi on is “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.” It is hard to imagine why anyon e would want to shoot fish in a barrel. But, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. 38 .

Sometimes, things that come to us easily, also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression –“easy come, easy go” – that recognizes this. 39 .Easy come, easy go.

When life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on “Easy Street.” Everyone wants to live on that imaginary street.

40 . It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might urge her husband to “go easy on” their son, because the boy did not mean to wreck the car.

And one last expression, one that means do not worry or work too hard. Try to keep away from difficult situations. “Take it easy” until we meet again.

A. If you ever tried to walk on a fallen tree log, you will understand what the expression

means.

B. You may win a lot of money in a lottery(彩票), then spend it all in a few days.

C. Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expression.

D. Another “easy” expression is to “go easy on a person”.

E.There are several other expressions that mean the same thing

F. This expression is really hard for us to understand.

G. In fact, it would be as easy as “falling off a log”.

Passage 7

The benefits of keeping a journal

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. 36

◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 37 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 38 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

◆ 39 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 40 In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A. I often experienced that myself.

B. It trains you to express your thoughts.

C. It allows you to see your progress over time.

D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

E. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

F. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes

The weather’s nice, and the youngsters are out of time. Here are a few tips to help you along the way: Nature is all around us. 37 For small kids, there’s likely plenty in the backyard, courtyard, or schoolyard. National parks are great, but kids foster a deep connection with nature close to home! 38 Don’t worry too much about what to do once you arrive at your nature-rich destination. What kids really need is free time to engage all their senses and use their imaginations. You can learn too. What counts is simply to get out there, show that you value the outdoors, and be ready to have fun. 39 In fact, it is not necessary for you to know anything at all about science or nature. And remember, questions are more powerful than answers anyway! Sit back and watch your kids learn. Don’t be too much of a helicopter parent, always saying “no”. Instead, try to spare more time to stay with your kids when necessary.

Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You’re nervous and that’s okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.”36 I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends. On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. 37 Was thi s how the whole year was going to be? I didn’t think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right. 38 With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging. Since then, I’ve been elected vice president of my class, which wasn’t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions. It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. 39 Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn’t straight A’s.

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 . By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world. A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States. ! B.Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable. C.He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since. D.However, he did not get much business for those products. E.He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.

高考英语七选五阅读填空试题 七选五阅读填空是近几年在宁夏、海南和北京等省、市高考英语试卷中出现的一种综合测试阅读理解的新题型。该题主要考查考生对文章的整体内容、结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。 命题特点 本题型的阅读材料是一篇长度为180—300词的短文,文中有五处空白,分别在各个段落的段首、段中或段尾。文后有七句话(均为完整句子),要求我们根据文章结构、内容从短文后的七个选项中选出五个能填入文章空白处的最佳选项。由于给出的选项中,有的选项区分度不大,试题的难度比常规阅读试题有所增加,而且会出现由于一处误选导致多处错答的后果。 命题规律 七选五阅读填空不仅要求我们对所读短文的主旨要义、具体信息有所了解,更要能够把握全篇文脉和作者的谋篇思路。故此,所选材料通常是我们所熟悉的大众化话题,一般多为说明文,也有议论文和记叙文,正文与选项累计词数在300—350。短文不会少于三个自然段,不会在同一个自然段设两个以上的空白。文章的第一句不会设空(有小标题的题除外)。所留空白处一般是段落主题句、段落总结句、承上启下句、关键论点支撑句或全篇概括归纳句等。所给的七个选项中有两个选项与正确选项干扰性较大。 解题策略 1.通读全文,勾勒连接词语,理清语段的句际关系。 构成语段的各个句子之间存在句际关系,文章的内容是根据各层各段的大意有机地组合而成,各个层次,各个段落之间不管怎样错落有致,但他们所表达的内容都是要围绕中心的,各句之间都有一定的语脉,这种语脉从逻辑意义上来看,存在并列、顺序(时间、空间)、递进、转折、总分、归纳、解释、因果等关系。构成语段的各个句子之间有时可以包含一种以上的句际关系。 2.利用关键词解题,一般空格的正确选项与紧邻的上下句都有明显的关键词在起作用,所以只要找出空格上一句或下一句当中的关键词,然后在七个选项中找出同样的关键词,就能准确地确定选项。 3.正确理解七个选项的内在含义,推测各项的使用语境。 4.从句意、语境包括语法功能及句子的长度来比较分析各选项。 5.适当采用排除法,根据文章的逻辑关系排除不恰当选项。 典型例题 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Olympic Weightlifting While weightlifting is used in many sports and athletic training, Olympic weightlifting is the name of the official sport name.1There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete: body weight, height and strength. 2How fast and with what level of mobility(活动性)can the athlete perform the lift? In the competition, both mobility and lifting speed are evaluated together with the athlete’s strength. The techniques specific to the sport are part of the training schemes and programs of many excellent athletes. The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in 1 kilogram. The order by which athletes enter the competition is not general, but it is set depending on the event.3If he/she is not successful, he/she can try later, but there is a maximum of three lifts allowed per

近五年高考英语阅读七选五汇总

七选五六大解题策略 基础差也可得高分 1. 略读文章抓大意 以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句,以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别是however, but等后的内容)等重要部分,以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。事实上,一般只需花5~10秒阅读大小标题和第一段首尾句即可。 2. 重点阅读上下句 因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺,解题时大多只看上句,或只看下句,就可基本确定答案。 事实上,如果没有时间来得及通读或细读,或者基础不够扎实即使读也读不懂,建议通过以下技巧,也基本上可以得满分。

3. 看看结构变轻松 在解题过程中,除了每做一道有把握的题后就在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外,通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小,心情变得更加轻松,一般可将7个选项缩小到2~4个选项,碰对的机率大大提高。 (1)标题结构 如果考查段落标题,先看看其他标题的语言形式,同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。如果其他标题是名词短语,该题答案也是名词短语;如果其他标题是祈使句,该题的答案也是祈使句。 (2)句子结构 如果正确选项只是某个句子的一个部分,就要看看空后这个部分是不是句子,如果是句子,看看是否有连词,如果没有连词,要选的正确选项就应是短语或是带有连词的从句。 如:

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find. (2015新课标卷II) A. After six days B. For a good marathon runner C. Before you begin your training E. If they still feel good, you can begin running in them 解析:从句式结构上看,逗号后是祈使句,没有连词,正确答案要么是带有连词的从句,要么是一个短语,只有A、B、C、E四个选项符合,这样就缩小了选择范围;根据空前句中的preparation (准备),和常识可知是“训练前”,故选C项。 4. 词语复现显神功

如果考查段落标题,先看看其他标题的语言形式,同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。如果其他标题是名词短语,该题答案也是名词短语;如果其他标题是祈使句,该题的答案也是祈使句。如: 1. The basic function of money. Being explaining the basic function of money … 2. Money lessons. Approach money lessons with openness… 3. 74 Begin at the grocery store. Pick out similar brands of a product-a name brand butter and a generic(无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. (新课标卷) A. Wise decisions. B. The value of money. 解析:本题要求选小标题。观察其他标题,都是名词短语,因此,本标题也应是名词短语;七个选项中只有A、B两个选项是名词短语,这样就可大大缩小选择范围;浏览两个选项,再看空后文字,发现decisions与choices大意相同(近义词),故选A项。
