Third-Culture Kids

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!

The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 36 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.

37 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 38 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.

For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 39 She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.

While a third-culture kid must let go of his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized(理想化的) image children have of “home”. 40

As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.

A. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.

B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.

C. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.

D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.

E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.

F. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.

G. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.

The Science of Risk-Seeking

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking. __36__ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.

The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. __37__ As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.

So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. __38__

No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. __39__ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.

__40__ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.

As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A. Those are the risks you should jump to take.

B. It all depends on your character.

C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.

G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

How to Do Well in Exams

Do not underestimate(低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining(保持）crucial(关键的） information. But do not overdo it. 36 An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.

On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need （pens, pencils, erasers, etc.）, then make your way to the examination hall in good time 37 .

Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare" and "evaluate". 38 It is always wise to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.

39 If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling - or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.

Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 40

A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious(有传染性), and you may suffer from undue（多度的） panic.

B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.

C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understand.

D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.

E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.

F. Go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.

G. Underestimate the test in your mind.

【湖北省沙市中学2017届高三上学期第二次考试】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Urbanization

Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 36 In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.

Britain was only the beginning. 37 The process of urbanization—the migration of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.

In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities.

Only about 2% live on farms. 38

Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 39 Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.

Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 40 Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.

A. That kept cities very small.

B. The rest live in small towns.

C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.

D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.

E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.

F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.

G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

【答案】

36.E

37.D

38.B

39.A

40．F

37.D根据前一句的“ Britain was only the beginning”可知，英国只是个开始，关键词beginning, 因此后面出现的是soon, 句意为，英国只是个开始，很快，其他工业国家也变成了城市化社会。

38.B根据前一句的“Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms”目前，超过82%的美国人住在城市，只有2%的人住在农场，在讲完了82%和2%之后，还有剩下的人呢，住在哪里呢？因此可以推断出，下一句讲述的是the rest即，其余的人住在什么地方。因此，选择B，意为，其余的人住在城镇里。

39.A推理判断，根据前一句的”It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities”可知，要有95个人在农场里工作，才能养活5个城市里的人，因此城市里居住的人肯定要少，规模肯定很小，因此选择A项，意为这种原因导致了城市规模很小。

40．F根据后面的“ Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers”可知，现在一个美国人在农场里工作，可以养活100多个非农美国人，因此现代化让农民更加多产，让更多的人可以居住在城市里。

How to Care for Your Ears?

Ears not only let us hear, but they also paly a role in maintaining our balance, which is vital to our ability to function in daily life. Yet, we ignore them. We can’t even see our ears, except in a mirror. We take it for granted what they do for us day in and day out—until we notice something worng, such as when an earache strikes or when we start having to ask people to repeat what they say. 36 .
◆Clean your ear with a washcloth—covered finger only.
Never put anything inside your ear canal, including cotton swabs (药签). 37 .
◆Leave earwax(耳垢) alone.

Wax is your ear’s way of eliminating （消除）anything foreign that gets into the ear canal. 38 If you find you have too much earwax, use a few drops of earwax remover（去除剂）in the canal. After a few minutes, wash the ear with warm water.
◆Avoid noisy places.
Rock concerts and construction sites are just a few places that frequently have noise levels that can damage 

hearing.Any place where you have to shout to be heard should be avoided.
◆ 39 .
Be careful not to play MP3 too loud, especially if using earphone.
◆Be careful with illness and medications.

Respiratory illnesses should be treated to avoid their spread to the ears.Certain medications can damage  hearing, so follow the directions carefully before taking them.
See your doctor if you suffer from sudden hearing loss or hear noises in your head. 40 .
A．Most people don’t need to clean wax out of their ears.
B．In such case, go to see a doctor as soon as possible.
C．These can be symptoms of a serious illness which needs to be treated.
D．This article will show you how to care for your ears.
E．Turn the volume down.
F．Avoid using earphones while listening to MP3.
G．Your ear canal is very narrow, and a swab can damage it.

How to overcome challenges in your life

We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you’ll overcome quite a bit.

Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through.  36  If you develop that mindset (心态), you’ll get it done.

 37  Remain calm when you’re facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You can’t solve problems when you’re panicking. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. Think things through calmly.

Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don’t give up.   38

Learn what made you fail at overcoming these challenges.

Simplify the challenge you’re facing. Make the challenge easier than it is.  39  As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will.

Stay positive and confident.  40  You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It’s our own mental stability that’s the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you’ll actually be able to do it.

A. Stay calm and cool headed.

B. Think the best, not the worst.

C. Start by breaking it down into steps.

D. To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.

E. Most people will avoid any challenge, because they’re scared of failing.

F. Develop that confidence in saying there’s no way you’re going to fail at this.

【名师点睛】

关于七选五的做题步骤：

  1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。

  2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨

3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。 

4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。

在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。 

5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。 

【湖南省长沙市长郡中学2017届高三上学期第二次周测】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。

Kids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of a medical, emotional(情感的), or learning problem. For example, kids who can not walk need wheelchairs. They not only need equipment that helps them get around, but they might need to have ramps(坡道) or elevators available. 36

Kids with an illness would have special needs, too.        37        . Kids with sight problems might need Braille books to read. Kids with hearing problems might need hearing aids.

       38         . It might be harder to do normal things—like learning to read or just getting around the school. The good news is that parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, and others can help. The goal is to help kids be as independent as possible.

Other kids also can be a big help. How? By being a friend. Kids who use a wheelchair or have lots of health problems want friends just as you do. But meeting people and making friends can be difficult.      39           . Be sure to tell a teacher if you see someone being bullied (欺辱）or teased.

Also, try to be helpful if you know someone with special needs. 40 As you get to know them, they may help you understand what it's like to be in their shoes. And you'll be helping fill a very special need, one that everybody has—the need for good friends.

A. Some kids might laugh at or make fun of them. 

B. They also might need to get a special bus to school.

C. Life can be challenging for a kid with special needs.

D. It is good manners to offer help to kids with special needs.

E. Being friendly to kids with special needs is one of the best ways to be helpful.

F. They might need medicine or other help as they go about their daily activities.

G. Someone could have trouble with anxiety, but you wouldn't know it unless told about it.

36.B

37.F

38.C

39.A

40.E

37.F 承上启下型。 根据首句可知，本段承接第一段继续说明“有特殊需要的孩子“不同情况，B和G与此关联。但对于”Kids with an illness”来说， G中的“medicine”显然比”get a special bus to school”更为合理，故选G.

38.C主题型。根据本段下文可知，本段的话题为“有特殊需要的孩子的生活相对艰难”， C和F与此关联。 但F的主语与下句不一致， 让人感觉“话题的中心变化太突然”，而C中的life显然与下句主语it一致，较好地保持话题一致，有利于突出“中心话题”， 故选C.

39.A承上启下型。从本段开始，文章就如何帮助“kids with special needs”进行说明。上句说：和人交往和交友，对于这些孩子来说，可能会有难度。原因何在？显然A是最好的解释或说明，且A中的“laugh at or make fun of “与下句的”bullied or teased”吻合，故选A.

40.E主题型。分析本文的语篇结构可知，首段就“kids with special needs”的含义做出解释，第二段是就不同类型的情况做进一步的说明，第三段呼吁人们对这些孩子给予关爱和帮助。第四、五段则就如何帮助提出建议。本段的中心话题是如何帮助，D和E有关联，但D更像是评论，而不是指引，且E中的“to be helpful” 与下文一致，故选E。

【名师点拨】

承上启下，再结合选项是做七选五的灵魂所在。一定要把七个选项先看看，做到心中有数。比如第39小题A承上启下型。从本段开始，文章就如何帮助“kids with special needs”进行说明。上句说：和人交往和交友，对于这些孩子来说，可能会有难度。原因何在？显然A是最好的解释或说明，且A中的“laugh at or make fun of “与下句的”bullied or teased”吻合，故选A.

It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words

seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great ef-

forts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.

36 Here are some tips to help.

37 We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact

these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps acti-

vate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory. 38 The more familiar we are with the word,

the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. 39 Relate the word to terms we already know, either as

synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic",

”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is go-

ing to swallow me whole".

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words

will be of little help. 40 Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will

make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。

2.分析句型，了解语法构成。

3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如37小题，考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下句“不要把记忆单词和读音分解”，故本处“边读边记”符合题意。故选B。

4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如38小题，考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句“读出来有利于记忆”和下句“越熟悉越不容易遗忘”，本处“出声音记忆单词能够帮助我们回顾它的拼写，熟悉单词”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

5.带入通读，复查

做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做"连错"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。

How to protect your ears

You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard.____36______ So no harm done…right?

Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious--- and irreversible(无法治愈的)--- hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. _____37_______ But the good news is that there plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love:

Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you’re listening to. ____38_____Turn it down.

Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.

Take breaks. ____39_____ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.

____40______You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.

A. Use earplugs.

B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.

C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.

D. Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.

E. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.

F. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.

G. The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.

Injuries and deaths caused by driving after drinking are preventable. Sadly, actions by the police can only catch a small number of drunk drivers on the roads. It is up to each person to make the decisions. 36 So we should help guide our friends and persuade them to avoid driving after drinking. Here are some tips.

Start talking to the person early. With every drink, judgment becomes increasingly uncontrolled. 37 So as soon as your friend starts drinking, you should try to persuade him to make a plan to get home safely. Remember, after he gets drunk, he may not listen to you.

Help the person realize he is drunk. Talk to him and show him that he is increasingly clumsy. 38 For example, ask who you can call to pick him up, or what public transport he would like to use. If he knows he is drunk, he may follow your advice.

Make last efforts. If all else fails and a drunk person wants to drive home, threaten to call the police or take his keys. 39 When he is not concentrated, take his keys. This may make it easier to convince him to take a cab home. Remember, don’t give him the keys even if he’s angry.

40 If you once drove home after you got drunk, your friend may not listen to you. So in order to succeed in persuading your friend to avoid driving after drinking, you should behave yourself first.

A. Ask him where his keys are.

B. Set a good role model.

C. Give him an alternative way to get home.

D. But it isn’t easy to make the right decisions.

E. Make him realize drinking makes him look like a fool.

Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets , pillowcases and family photos to make them have the feel of home no matter where they are ; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with its service and attendants ; 37 Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night are just like home --- only mobile !

And how about keeping relationships while in transit ? 38 Some send letters and postcards , or even photos ; others may just call and say hi , just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well . People find ways to keep in touch . Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 39

Nowadays , fewer people are working in their local towns , so how do they develop a sense of belonging ? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries , there is always another “home” waiting to be found . 40

【名师点睛】

关于七选五的做题步骤：

  1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。

  2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。

3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。 

4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。

在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。 

5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。

Imagine going to bed not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. 36 Today, nearly 11 percent of people on Earth suffer from hunger, according to a recent State of Food Insecurity in the World report published by the United Nations. But it turns out that this number is something to celebrate!

Though the numbers look like a lot, the number of hungry people in the world has actually decreased by about 209 million since 1992. This has been mainly due to the hard work of organizations such as the UN, the FAO and the WFP.

According to the WFP, the world produces enough food to feed the entire population of 7 billion people. 37 There are many reasons why food does not go from the producers to the consumers.

People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious foods. This makes them weaker and it is harder for them to earn money to escape from poverty and hunger. 38 An average person in the US spends just 6.6% of the income on food.

Drought is one of the most common causes of food shortage in the world. 39 In many countries, climate change is worsening the situation.

Conflicts around the world can disrupt farming and food production. Fighting forces millions of people to flee their homes. These people don’t have the means to feed themselves.

40 Food that is wasted uses up precious natural resources.

A. How can we solve the problem?

B. Each nation has its own challenges.

C. One-third of all food produced is never consumed.

D. But not everybody has access to food when they need it.

E. That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.

F. Natural disasters such as flood and tropical storms can impact food output too.

G. Do you know in poor countries people spend over 80% of their earnings on food?

试题分析：世界上还有很多人在遭受贫困和饥饿，我们要节约粮食。

36.E根据上句：想象一下，不知道你的下一顿饭从哪里来。再根据下句：今天世界上11%的人遭受饥饿的痛苦。可知E. That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.那就是世界上805 million人的命运。符合上下文的意思。

【名师点拨】

1.根据上下文的语境来确定选项。一般在空格的上一句或下一句，也许是上、下句中会有暗示。比如第37小题根据上句：一个印第安人也许使用一匹矮种马做暗号。根据空格后的一句：或者他使用烟，镜子或者火箭。可知此处表达的意思是：他也许使用一条毯子。故选B。此处体现的是一种并列的关系。39小题F根据上句：干旱是世界上最常见的食物短缺的原因之一。再根据下句：在很多国家，气候变化正在恶化局势。此空要表达的意思应该是：自然灾害也影响粮食的产量。故选F。

2. 七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首 1.通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。 2.与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找 相关特征词。一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会 有某种的衔接手段。40.小题C根据下句：浪费的食物消耗了宝贵的自然资源。可知上句的意思是：所有的食物中的三分之一从来不会被消费。也就是被浪费掉。故选C。

For anything you’re about to send：ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no，rewrite and reread． 37 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能)is to fire back in the same manner.But try not to do so. 38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member，try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．

39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or all unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything.

【广东省仲元中学2017届高三9月月考】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。

Living with a roommate can be a great experience as many roommates become lifelong friends. However, roommates living together under the same roof for a long time unavoidably conflict with each other. 16 To prevent this from happening to you, each conflict should be addressed in a productive, healthy way.

1. Set a time for discussion.

Once conflicts occur, you need to set up a time to discuss the conflict. 17 They may think about any problems they want to discuss. It also allows for a better discussion as the both roommates will most likely enter the discussion fairly calm.

2. Make rules for discussion

Before discussing the actual conflicts, set up some rules to guide the discussion. For example, each roommate is allowed to air one problem at a time and the other roommate has a chance to respond to it before another one is brought up. Making rules beforehand can prevent a screaming match from breaking out. 18

3. 19

You can use your discussion to point out to your roommates their great traits and specific things you like about them. While this won’t solve the conflict, it can help your roommates be more understanding of your point of view and more willing to compromise.

4. Come up with a written roommate agreement

Once grievances（不满）have been aired by both parties you should develop a roommate agreement that is written down. This agreement should discuss what the rules are as well as what consequences exist for breaking them. For example, roommates having a conflict about overnight guests may compromise to allow overnight guests only on weekends with guests on weekdays being gone by 11 p. m. 20

A. Talk about your problems openly

B. Point out good things about roommates

C. Being honest can avoid unfriendly discussion

D. This provides both parties a chance for preparation

E. And disaster can strike when a conflict never gets settled

F. A consequence may be that the violator(违反者)pays $ 5 for breaking the rules

G. This is because both sides know they will have an opportunity to speak.

【答案】

16.E

17.D

18.G

19.B

20.F

17.D根据上句：一旦冲突发生，你需要安排一个讨论冲突的时间。再根据空格下句：他们可能会考虑他们想讨论的任何问题。可知空格出的意思是：这为双方提供了一个准备的机会。故选D。

18.G根据上句：事先制定规则可以防止尖叫比赛的爆发。可知此空要表达的是：这是因为双方都知道他们将有机会发言。故选G。

19.B此题是小标题。根据此段第一句：你可以用你的讨论，指出你的室友他们的伟大的特点和你喜欢他们的具体的事情。可知B. Point out good things about roommates

指出室友好的方面。符合题意。

20.F根据空格上文：这个协议应该讨论规则是什么还有违背规则存在什么样的结果。随后下文举了一个违背规则的例子。因此可知F. A consequence may be that the violator(违反者)pays $ 5 for breaking the rules结果可能是违法者为违反规则支付5美元。符合题意。

【河北省武邑中学2017届高三上学期第一次调研】How to Become an Effective Leader

The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. 36________ It takes time to become a trustworthy leader.

As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:

● Don’t be self-centered.

The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. 37________ Perhaps that is why Lawrence Bell remarked, “A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely to become a good leader.”

● 38________

Rare is the effective leader who didn’t learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first.

● Work with excellence.

No one respects and follows mediocrity（平庸）. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 39________

● Give your power away.

What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 40________ If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

A. Become a good follower first.

B. You are meant to be a river, not a pool.

C. They lead in order to serve other people.

D. Leaders help people to reach their potential.

E. Leadership isn’t learned or earned in a moment.

F. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.

G. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.

【答案】

36.E

37. C

38.A

39.G

40.B

38.A 考查上下文的理解判断能力。A选项与本段中的become a good follower first相符合。故A符合要求。

39. G考查上下文的理解判断能力。前句提到领导者应该尽自己的最大努力，与G选项中的 perform on the highest level保持一致。故G符合要求。

40. B 考查上下文的理解判断能力。上句提到要与别人分享你的权利。故你应做一条流淌的河，而不是一潭死水。故E符合要求。

The Science of Risk-Seeking

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.

The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.

So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38

No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.

40 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.

As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A．It all depends on your character.

B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.

C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.

G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

【答案】

36.F

37.C

38.A

39.E

40.G

38.A 考查上下文的理解判断能力。根据“humans developed a range of character types...”可知，人们形成的不同类型的性格如今仍然存在，正是不同的性格类型才导致了我们对冒险行为采取不同的态虔，故选A。

39. E考查上下文的理解判断能力。E项中的 when 与 “your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years” 中的teenage years对应，故选E。

40.G 考查上下文的理解判断能力。前一句提到了 “weigh the risk and the reward”，F项“然而，并不是所有人都使用同样的参考标准来权衡风险和回报”符合语境，故选G。
