（2020·浙江学军中学高三期中）Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big stuff like not getting into your top college. Everyday situations can lead to feelings of rejection, too, like if your joke didn’t get a laugh, if no one remembered to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you. Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. The only thing we should do is to learn to handle it. 1 .. So how can you build that ability?
Be Honest About Your Feelings
If you get rejected, admit how intense your feelings are. Don’t try to brush off the hurt or pretend it’s not painful. Then, move on to name what you’re feeling. For example: “I feel really disappointed that I didn’t get chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly and I tried so hard. I feel left out because my friends made it and I didn’t.” 2 .. Examine Your Thought Soundtrack
When you are rejected, it’s natural to wonder, “Why did this happen?” When you give yourself an explanation, be careful to stick to the facts. Tell yourself: “I got turned down for prom because the person didn’t want to go with me.” Don't tell yourself: “I got turned down because I’m not attractive” or “I’m such a loser.” 3 .. Next time, if put-down thoughts start creeping into your mind, shut them down.
4 . A rejection is chance to consider if there are things we can work on. It’s OK to think about whether there’s room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills. 5 .. But if you approach it right, it could help nudge you in a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit for your talents, personality, and all the really great things that make you who you are.
A .Acknowledging feelings helps you move beyond painful emotions.
B .This kind of thinking crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves. C .Be Patient When Rejected.
D .Dwelling on the negative feelings can feel like living the experience over and over again. E.Sometimes a rejection is a harsh reality check.
F.The better we get at dealing with rejection, the less it affects us. G.Use Rejection to Your Advantage. 【答案】 1 .F 2 .A 3 .B 4 .G 5 .E 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了被人拒绝在日常中时有发生，拒绝很伤人，但完全避免它是不可能的。我们唯一要做的就是学会处理它。文章就如何处理拒绝提出了一些建议。
1 .根据上文“Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. The only thing we should do is to learn to handle it.(拒绝会伤人。但完全避免它是不可能的。我们唯一要做的就是学会处理它)”以及后文“So how can you build that ability?(那么你该如何培养这种能力呢？)”可知，上文提到了完全避免拒绝是不可能，我们应该学会处理它，后文提到了培养处理拒绝的能力，故本句承接上文说明，善于处理拒绝将导致的影响。且上文中handle it与F选项中dealing with rejection相对应。故F选项“我们越善于处理拒绝，它对我们的影响就越小”符合语境，故选F。
2 .根据上文“If you get rejected, admit how intense your feelings are. Don’t try to brush off the hurt or pretend it’s not painful. Then, move on to name what you’re feeling.(如果你被拒
绝了，承认你的感觉有多强烈。不要试着漠视伤痛，或者假装不痛苦。然后，说出你的感受)”可知，本段主要说明的是要承认自己被拒绝时的感受，上文中admit how intense your feelings are与A选项中Acknowledging feelings相对应。故A选项“承认感觉有助于你摆脱痛苦的情绪”符合语境，故选A。
3 .结合上文“Don't tell yourself: ‘I got turned down because I’m not attractive’ or ‘I’m such a loser.’(不要告诉自己：‘我被拒绝是因为我不漂亮’或者‘我真是个失败者’)”可知，上文提到了不要告诉自己的一些话，故本句应承接上文说明不要这么做的原因。故B选项“这种想法把希望和对自己的信念排挤出去了”符合语境，故选B。
4 .本空为本段小标题。结合后文“A rejection is chance to consider if there are things we can work on. It’s OK to think about whether there’s room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills.(拒绝是机会，可以使我们考虑是否还有可以努力的地方。可以考虑是否有改进的空间，或者你的目标是否高于了你的技能)”可知，本段主要说明的是将拒绝视为一种改进自我的机会，即将拒绝看作一种优势。故G选项“把拒绝当成你的优势”符合小标题，故选G。
5 .根据上文“It’s OK to think about whether there’s room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills.(可以考虑是否有改进的空间，或者你的目标是否高于了你的技能)”以及后文“But if you approach it right, it could help nudge you in a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit for your talents, personality, and all the really great things that make you who you are.(但如果你处理得当，它会帮助你走向一个与你的才能、个性和所有成就你的伟大的东西完美匹配的方向)”可知，上文提到了被拒绝是因为目标高于了能力，可推知有时候被拒绝是因为现实实力不够，后文与本句构成转折，说明拒绝处理得当，也可以找到好的方向。故E选项“有时候，被拒绝是对现实的残酷审视”符合语境，故选E。

（2020·浙江宁波·高三月考Every day, on British radio stations and on television, you can hear it. It gives the time before BBC radio news programmes, and on the BBC World Service. And you can hear it and see it every evening before ITV's \"News at Ten\". 6 . If you have been to London, you have certainly seen \"Big Ben\". It's very difficult to miss, standing almost 100 metres high beside the Thames, next to the Houses of Parliament. 7 . But in reality, \"Big Ben\" is just the name of the biggest bell in the tower. The famous clock tower was built in the 1850s, after the Houses of Parliament were burned down.
The new clock was to be the biggest in the world, and extremely accurate. Lots of people thought that this would be impossible; a very big clock, they thought, could not be very accurate. 8 . And the clock has always kept time almost perfectly. The original \"Big Ben\" bell weighed 16 tons, and was made in the North of England. However, after it had reached London, but before it had been put in place, it cracked! So the original bell was therefore melted down (in London) and a new Big Ben was made and put in place in July 1859... but after two months it cracked.9 .A smaller hammer was put in place, and Big Ben began chiming (报时）again in 1862.
Since then, there have been several incidents. 10 . And in 1976, the clock stopped for 26 days, when a part of the mechanism broke…after 114 years of service! Recently, engineers have decided that the tower and the clock were both in need of urgent repairs. Work began in 2017, and unless there are some unexpected problems, Big Ben will begin a new life in the year 2021.
A .In fact, they were wrong. B .The Big Ben has a long history.
C .Experts decided that the hammer was too big.
D .Once the clock stopped when a pot of paint got stuck between its hands! E.The name \"Big Ben\" is generally used to refer to the big clock tower itself. F.Almost all the tourists visiting London prefer to take many photos of Big Ben.
G.The chimes of Big Ben are recognized by almost everyone in Britain, and by millions of people all over the world. 【答案】 6 .G 7 .E
8 .A 9 .C 10 .D 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了英国“大本钟”的相关信息。
6 .根据上文“And you can hear it and see it every evening before ITV's \"News at Ten\".” 你可以在每天晚上的ITV“10点新闻”之前听到和看到它。再结合下文“If you have been to London, you have certainly seen \"Big Ben\".” 如果你去过伦敦，你肯定见过“大本钟”。选项承接上文具体说明上文说的是什么，以及它的知名度。故G选项““大本钟”的钟声几乎为英国的每一个人所熟知，也为全世界数百万人所熟知。”切题。上文中的it指代的是Big Ben，hear it and see it every evening对应recognized by almost everyone and by millions of people。故选G项。
7 .根据下文“But in reality, \"Big Ben\" is just the name of the biggest bell in the tower.” 但实“大本钟”只是这座塔中最大的钟的名字。\"Big Ben\" is just 际上，选项与下文为转折关系，the name对应选项中的The name \"Big Ben\"。故E项“大本钟”这个名字通常指的是“大本钟”本身。”切题。故选E项。
8 .根据上文“Lots of people thought that this would be impossible; a very big clock, they thought, could not be very accurate.” 很多人认为这是不可能的;他们认为，一个非常大的钟不可能非常准确。再结合下文“And the clock has always kept time almost perfectly.” 而且这个钟总是保持着几乎完美的时间。由此可知，人们认为钟不准是不正确的。选项是对上文总结且引起下文。故A选项“事实上，他们错了。”切题。故选A项。
9 .根据上文“So the original bell was therefore melted down (in London) and a new Big Ben was made and put in place in July 1859... but after two months it cracked.”因此，原来的钟因此被熔化（在伦敦），并在1859年7月制造了一个新的大本钟。但两个月后它破裂了。again in 再结合下文“A smaller hammer was put in place, and Big Ben began chiming (报时）1862.”一个更小的锤子被放在适当的位置上，大本钟在1862年又开始响起。选项要说明大本钟破裂的原因。且the hammer对应下文A smaller hammer。故C选项“专家们认为钟锤太大了。”切题。故选C项。
10 .根据上文“Since then, there have been several incidents.” 从那以后，发生了几起事件。由此可知，选项具体说明是什么事件。故D选项“有一次，一罐油漆卡在钟的指针之间，钟就停摆了。”切题。故选D项。

Committees value authenticity.They want to hear your voice.This essay may give you the time and space to explain why a particular achievement means too much to you.But resist the urge to exaggerate: admission counselors read thousands of essays each year.14 .
Sound like yourself.Don’t use words you wouldn’t normally use.Don’t use fancy language you wouldn’t use in real life.Imagine yourself reading this essay out loud to a classroom full of people who have never met you.15 .

根据下文举例内容“For example, if all your friends are writing application essays about
covid-19, that may be a good reason why you should avoid it.(例如，如果你所有的朋友都在写关于covid-19的申请文章，这可能是你应该避免它的一个很好的理由。)”结合段落最后一句“Admissions counselors say that the best essays help them learn something about the candidate that they would never know from reading the rest of the application.(招生顾问说，最好的文章能帮助他们了解一些关于候选人的东西，这些东西是他们在阅读申请表的其”可推知，余部分时不会知道的。）最好是写关于自己的文章，不要选择大众的流行主题，尽量避免与他人一致，写一些关于自己的东西，因此E项内容“记得，写的文章要关于你自己而不是一个流行的主题。”符合段落大意，故选E。 13 .

Due to Covid-19, moms have had a rough year. Day care （2020·浙江温州·高三月考）centers are closed. 16 . At the same time they're homeschooling and cleaning everything.
Looking back 50 years or so, I found that my own mother was a mysteriously effective role model. She never hit me or raised her voice. She didn't directly boss anyone around. She indirectly gave my sisters and me very clear guidance on what behaviors were expected in our home, and out in the world.
17 . But once, when an African American family moved into our all-white neighborhood, she quietly and firmly sat my sisters and me down and told us that we would always treat them with respect. We did. When my mom got serious, we never questioned her authority. My mother taught us to love our neighbors, showed us how to treat everyone with kindness and respect and modeled how we could be generous with our time and energy by focusing on the needs and interests of others.
One time, she was driving and a car roared past us in a no-passing zone. 18 . She said, \"I'll be very disappointed if you ever drive like that.\" For the next 5 decades, including my teen years, my friends and family have laughed at me for my slow, conservative driving. 19 . I remembered what she said. I still don't want to disappoint her.
Once, when the family was out watching a film, a violent scene started. 20 . I was taken away from the theater. My mom didn't want me to see or hear things that might lead me down the wrong path. She would cover my eyes and ears to stop me from being exposed to negative influences.
She'd always find a way to show us how we should admit our mistakes, take
personal responsibility, and resist the temptation to blame others. A .My mother said it once. B .Moms are working from home. C .She would gather us for a lesson. D .She sighed and glanced over at me.
E.Rarely did my mother tell us how to behave. F.Immediately, my mom patted my dad on the shoulder. G.All this led me to wonder how my mother would handle it. 【答案】 16 .B 17 .E 18 .D 19 .A 20 .F 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述新冠肺炎期间妈妈们的辛苦，并讲述了作者的妈妈总 是想办法告诉她的孩子们，应该如何承认错误、承担个人责任、抵制指责别人的诱惑。16 .
根据前一句“Due to Covid-19, moms have had a rough year. Day care centers are closed.”可知，由于2019新冠肺炎，妈妈们度过了艰难的一年。日托中心关闭。B项“妈妈们在家B项中的“working from home”和下文“they're homeschooling and cleaning 工作”承上启下，
everything”相呼应，符合语境。故选B项。 17 .

（2020·浙江衢州·高三月考） Every parent has experienced the mixed bag of emotions when it comes to their kids being invited to their friends’ birthday parties.21 . On the other hand, keeping up with purchasing gifts can really add up.
The newest birthday party trend is here to change that dilemma. 22 . The way it works is that rather than everyone bringing a gift that your child may or may not like, each guest brings a mere $5 instead. At the end of the day, your kid can pool up all of the cash and then choose their own gift, which will end up being something they actually want and will play with. This is a win for both you and your child.
23 . First, they don’t have to spend $20and their spare time running to a toy store to try to figure out what another child may or may not want as a birthday gift. It also helps avoid the situation where a parent has to explain to their child why they cannot buy a toy since it is not his or her birthday. This can get pretty tiresome.
If your child is constantly invited to birthday parties, the costs can really add up. By cutting down the cost, parents can save a lot of money. By cutting down on the number of toys, it is both environmentally friendly and teaches children that value of owning things that they actually want and need, rather than be surrounded by a sea of $20toys they will never touch. 24 . Another benefit is that it evens out the playing field. 25 . Some people may be （使均衡）able to afford more expensive than others, but the “Fiver Party” ensures that nobody feels left out or bad about their financial situation.
This new trend lets kids be kids and allows them to focus on the real purpose of the birthday party: having fun with their friends.
A .Many gifts may end up lying around your house untouched. B .This practical approach reduces waste and over consumption. C .The “Fiver Party” might be a brilliant solution to this very problem. D .This is also a win for all of the parents whose kids are invited to the party. E.The “Fiver Party” takes the guesswork out of trying to purchase the perfect gift.
F.On one hand, they’re happy because their child is being included and has an active social life.
G.Every child brings the same exact gift without worrying about whether their gift was “good enough”. 【答案】 21 .F 22 .C 23 .D 24 .B 25 .G
【分析】
本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种新兴的参加生日聚会时带礼物的方式，并介绍了这种方式的优点。 21 .
根据空格后的句子“Every parent has experienced the mixed bag of emotions when it comes to their kids being invited to their friends’ birthday parties.”（当孩子被邀请参加朋友的生日派对时，每一位父母都经历过复杂的情绪）可知，空格处必然介绍家长对孩子被邀请参加生日聚会的看法。选项F“On one hand, they’re happy because their child is being included and has an active social life.”(一方面，他们很高兴，因为他们的孩子被包括在内，有了活跃的社会生活。)中的“On one hand”与空格后的“On the other hand”相呼应，且内容符合语境。故选F。 22 .
根据空格前句子“The newest birthday party trend is here to change that dilemma.”（ 最新的生日派对潮流正在改变这种困境。）和空格后的内容“The way it works is that rather than everyone bringing a gift that your child may or may not like, each guest brings a mere $5 instead. ”（ 它的运作方式是，不是每个人都带一个你孩子可能喜欢或不喜欢的礼物，而是每个客人只带5美元）可知，空格处的内容必然是介绍这种新的方式。选项C“The “Fiver Party” might be a brilliant solution to this very problem.”（“五元聚会”制度可能是解决这个问题的一个绝妙的办法。）符合题意。故选C。 23 .
空处位于段首，是段落主题句，根据空后的“First, they don’t have to spend $20 and their spare time running to a toy store to try to figure out what another child may or may not want as a birthday gift. It also helps avoid the situation where a parent has to explain to their child why they cannot buy a toy since it is not his or her birthday. This can get pretty tiresome.”（首先，他们不必花费20美元和他们的业余时间跑到玩具店，试图弄清楚另一个孩子可能想要或不想要什么作为生日礼物。这也有助于避免父母不得不向孩子解释为什么他们不能买玩具，因为今天不是他的生日。这会让人很厌烦。）可知，本段主要介绍的是“五元聚会”制度对于参加聚会的孩子和家长都有好处。选项D“This is also a win for all of the parents whose kids are invited to the party.（这对所有孩子被邀请参加聚会的父母来说也是
一个胜利。）”符合题意。且选项中的句式“This is also a win for”与上段中的“This is a win for”呼应。故选D。 24 .
空处位于段末，起到总结全段的作用，根据上文“ By cutting down the cost, parents can save a lot of money. By cutting down on the number of toys, it is both environmentally friendly and teaches children that value of owning things that they actually want and need, rather than be surrounded by a sea of $20 toys they will never touch.（通过降低成本，父母可以节省很多钱。通过减少玩具的数量，它既环保又教会孩子们拥有他们真正想要和需要的东西的价值，而不是被他们永远不会碰的价值20美元的玩具包围。）”可知，本段主要介绍这种制度的好处是能减少金钱的浪费和物质的闲置。故选B（这种实用的方法减少了浪费和过度消费。）。 25 .
空格前的句子“Another benefit is that it evens out（使均衡） the playing field. ( 另一个好处是它更为公平)”是本段主题句，因此此处是说“五元聚会”制度不会让孩子们对比礼物的好与不好，选项G“Every child brings the same exact gift without worrying about whether their gift was ‘ good enough ’.（每个孩子都带着同样的礼物，不用担心他们的礼物是否“足够好”。）”中的“the same exact gift”与主题句中的“evens out”呼应。故选G。

（2020·浙江杭州·高三期中）Can.you remember a time when you woke up from a fantastic or strange dream?Maybe you were afraid and turned on the light or the dream was so good you wanted to sleep longer. But do you think your dreams are telling you something?
26 .Today,too,many people can remember a time when they saw a place or person in their dream and then,later, the dream happened in real life.Most people have four to six dreams every night after the age of ten. 27 .So,an-80-year-old·person has probably had-140,000 dreams. Maybe we forget 95-99 percent of.our dreams, but that's still thousands of dreams.that might \"come true\".
Around the 18th and 19th centuries, there were two popular ideas about dreams. One said that the things we see in our dreams are things we keep in our subconscious(潜意识）
because we don't want or need to think about them when we're awake, 28 . Dreams are just random thoughts from our day but we try to make a story from them when we wake up. Perhaps both ideas are a little bit right. Maybe dreams are made from the thoughts we have during the day, but we see them as symbols.29 . When we're awake, we think in words most of the time. But when we're sleeping, the part of our brain that helps us with language sleeps, and the part that makes us happy or sad or angry is awake and busy. 30 . If you can understand these symbols, you have a window into your subconscious.
A .That's as many as.2,000 dreams per year
B .Maybe that's not surprising because we dream a lot. C .Also, how you were feeling in the dream is important.
D .For centuries, people thought dreams were messages from gods or spirits. E.For example, a dream of flying might be a symbol for an exciting new job.
F.The opposite idea said the brain organizes thoughts from the day while we’re sleeping. G.So, maybe our thoughts come to us in dreams as feelings and symbols instead of words 【答案】 26 .D 27 .A 28 .F 29 .E 30 .G 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人们对梦的不同解读和看法。 26 .
上文“But do you think your dreams are telling you something?（但是你认为你的梦告诉了你什么吗?）”是一个问句，可以推断出空格处是对此问题的解答，结合选项可知选项D. For centuries, people thought dreams were messages from gods or spirits.( 几个世纪以来，人们认为梦是来自神或灵魂的信息。) 是对上文问题的回答，同时句中的“for centuries”与下文的“Today,too”自然承接。故答案为D。 27 .
根据上文“Most people have four to six dreams every night after the age of ten.大多数人在十岁以后每晚会做四到六个梦。”及下文“So,an-80-year-old•person has probably had-140,000 dreams. 所以，80岁的人大概做过14万次梦。”可知空格处所填内容与计算梦的数量有关系，选项A .That's as many as.2,000 dreams per year(每年的梦可以多达2000个)与上述分析一致且衔接上下文自然。故答案为A。 28 .
根据前文“Around the 18th and 19th centuries, there were two popular ideas about dreams. One said……”第三段主要介绍18~19世纪关于梦的两个比较流行的观点，第三段第二句是介绍第一种观点，由此可推断出空格处介绍另外一种观点，选项F. The opposite idea said the brain organizes thoughts from the day while we’re sleeping.( 相反的观点认为，大脑在我们睡觉时组织白天的想法。) 介绍了第二种不同的观点，且下文进一步解释说明。故答案为F。 29 .
根据上文“Maybe dreams are made from the thoughts we have during the day, but we see them as symbols.”（也许梦是由我们白天的想法构成的，但我们把它们看作是一种象征。）可知梦或许来自于白天醒着时候的一些想法，但是我们把这些梦当作象征，选项E. For example, a dream of flying might be a symbol for an exciting new job.( 例如，梦想飞行可能是一份令人兴奋的新工作的象征。) 是对此观点的一个具体举例说明，故答案为E。 30 .
根据上文“When we're awake, we think in words most of the time. But when we're sleeping, the part of our brain that helps us with language sleeps, and the part that makes us happy or sad or angry is awake and busy.（当我们醒着的时候，我们大部分时间都在用文字思考。
但是当我们睡觉的时候，我们大脑中帮助我们语言的部分睡着了，而让我们开心、悲伤或生气的部分却清醒而忙碌。）”可知人们醒着的时候用话语形式思考，但睡着的时候语言系统也在休息，而情绪系统很活跃，所以在梦中人们的想法是通过情绪和象征符号来 G项中的“feelings”与上文的“the part that makes us happy or sad or 展现，而非语言形式，angry is awake and busy”对应，“symbols”与下文的“understand these symbols”相呼应。故答案为G。
