參考答案：

A

1.空前說(shuō)許多人常常發(fā)現(xiàn)自己半夜醒來(lái)，異常清醒和興奮，此處承接上文，講的是他

們醒來(lái)后就再難以入睡的情況，故G項(xiàng)（他們?cè)诖采陷氜D(zhuǎn)反側(cè)，睡不著覺(jué)）符合語(yǔ)境。

2.空前說(shuō)睡前不要喝東西充盈膀胱，空后又說(shuō)它可能會(huì)讓你睡得更快，但也可能擾亂

你的睡眠，因此此處是說(shuō)睡前尤其不要喝酒，故D項(xiàng)（最重要的是，晚上不要喝酒）符合

語(yǔ)境。

3.空前說(shuō)當(dāng)你無(wú)法入睡時(shí)，打印機(jī)和電纜盒上的LED燈可能是原因，從窗簾的縫隙射

入的光線也同樣如此，此處總結(jié)上文，講的是打印機(jī)和電纜盒上的LED燈以及從窗簾的縫

隙射入的光線可能會(huì)讓你睡不著覺(jué)，故C項(xiàng)（它們可能會(huì)讓你保持清醒）符合語(yǔ)境。

4.空前說(shuō)嘗試放松的方法，比如深呼吸、冥想和正念練習(xí)，此處承接這一話題，介紹

的是另一種讓大腦平靜下來(lái)的方法，故E項(xiàng)（你可以在腦子里做簡(jiǎn)單的數(shù)學(xué)題）符合語(yǔ)境。

5.空后說(shuō)如果你早上6點(diǎn)半起床，凌晨3點(diǎn)的時(shí)候你醒了，不要想我只能睡三個(gè)小時(shí)

了，相反，要這樣想一一我還能睡三個(gè)小時(shí)呢，這個(gè)例子說(shuō)明要以積極的方式思考，故A

項(xiàng)（以積極的方式思考）符合語(yǔ)境。

B

1.考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“TodayIvisitedSanFrancisco's

modem-artmuseum.Iwastheretoseeanewexhibitaboutspaceflight."今天我參觀了舊金山的

現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)博物館。我在那里看了一個(gè)關(guān)于太空飛行的新展覽。尤其是空后“Hiketo“visit”

thisparticularpaintingeverytimeIgotothemuseumnotonlybecauseitevokes（喚起）strong

feelings”我每次去博物館都喜歡“參觀”這幅畫(huà)，不僅因?yàn)樗軉酒饛?qiáng)烈的感情......。每

次都喜歡“參觀”的藝術(shù)品，所以我對(duì)它熟悉的，對(duì)應(yīng)了D項(xiàng)familiar)o它能喚起強(qiáng)烈的

感情(strongfeelings),根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，強(qiáng)烈的感情是哭或笑等。這對(duì)應(yīng)了D項(xiàng)中的cry(哭)。

由此可推斷出D項(xiàng)有詞與本段復(fù)現(xiàn)，放入句中：但能讓我哭泣的那件藝術(shù)品卻是一件熟悉

的藝術(shù)品。我每次去博物館都喜歡“參觀”這幅畫(huà)，不僅因?yàn)樗軉酒饛?qiáng)烈的感情，而且因

為我總能找到新的東西?！迸c句意一致，故選D。

2.考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前的“Someofthatenjoymentcomes

fromthefeelingoffamiliarityofcourse.重游博物館等，真是一種樂(lè)趣。當(dāng)然，其中一些樂(lè)

趣來(lái)自于熟悉的感覺(jué)。以及空后“There'salwaysplentymoretosee,hear,taste,smell,feel,of

understandthesecondorthirdtimearound.Buthowdoyoudiscovertheexcitingnewthinginthe

familiar?"可知，在熟悉的事物中還有很多東西要去看，去聽(tīng)，去嘗，去聞，去感覺(jué)，去理

解。但是你是如何在熟悉的環(huán)境中發(fā)現(xiàn)令人興奮的新事物的呢?由此可推斷出熟悉的事物中

也能發(fā)現(xiàn)新事物。分析選項(xiàng)可知E(Butitalsocomesfromnoticingnewthingsinwhatisso

familiar)但也來(lái)自于在如此熟悉的事物中發(fā)現(xiàn)新事物，可知E項(xiàng)符合題意，故選E。

3.考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前的"Onewayisapproaching

whatevertaskisathandbysearchingforthethingsthatyoudidn'tseeinthefirsttimearound.

First,recognizethateverythingisalwayschanging.w一種方法是通過(guò)尋找你第一次沒(méi)有看到的

東西。首先，認(rèn)識(shí)到每件事都在變化。"remove,judgmentfromtheexperience,if

possible,andjustobservewhat'snew.”不要用經(jīng)驗(yàn)去判斷，如果可能的話，要觀察新事物。

由此可推斷出，因?yàn)槭挛锒荚谧兓?。所以第二次去的話要找出第一次沒(méi)看到的東西，能觀察

到新的東西，這樣第二次和第一次的經(jīng)歷是完全不一樣的。分析選項(xiàng)可知F項(xiàng)(所以第二

次的經(jīng)歷和第一次完全不一樣)符合題意，故選F。

4.考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。上一段“Onewayisapproachingwhatevertask

isathandbysearchingforthethingsthatyoudidn'tseeinthefirsttimearound.”——種方法是通

過(guò)尋找你第一次沒(méi)有看到的東西..…那么下一段就要說(shuō)明“另一種方法……”分析選項(xiàng)可知

G項(xiàng)(Anotherwayischangingyourroutineandtakingabreakofsomekind)就有對(duì)應(yīng)的

“Anotherway...”。本空格后“Thatcouldmeanremovingsugar,coffee,acertainkindofmedia

fromyourlifeforaspecifiedtime.Oncethebreakisover,thatsamethingwillhavemoreofits

formerinterestorexcitement.這可能意味著在一段特定的時(shí)間讓你日常生活中遠(yuǎn)離糖、咖

啡和某種媒體。一旦休息結(jié)束，同樣的事情會(huì)有更多的興趣和刺激。即改變你的生活方式，

會(huì)有新的東西出現(xiàn)。由此可知，在熟悉的事物中尋找新的東西第二種方法就是改變你的生活

方式，……。分析選項(xiàng)可知G項(xiàng)（另一種方法是改變你的生活方式，休息一下）符合題意，

故選G。

5.考查對(duì)上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。分析本空格所在的段落可知，本段主要敘

述了從熟悉事物中尋找新的東西就是改變生活方式，休息一下。根據(jù)本空前的“Thatcould

meanremovingsugar,coffee,acertainkindofmediafromyourlifeforaspecifiedtime.Oncethe

breakisover,thatsamethingwillhavemoreofitsformerinterestorexcitement.M這可能意味著

在一段特定的時(shí)間內(nèi)不吃糖、不喝咖啡、不看某種媒體（電視節(jié)目或社交媒體）。一旦休息結(jié)

束，同樣的東西會(huì)比以前有更多興趣或興奮。分析選項(xiàng)可知，C項(xiàng)（如果你戒掉咖啡一個(gè)月，

它的味道永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)像現(xiàn)在這么好.）有詞coffee復(fù)現(xiàn)，且意義一致。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)符合

意義，故選C。

C

1.根據(jù)前文“Habitscanbeslowtoform.”（習(xí)慣可能是慢慢形成的。）和“whentheydo,

theycanbecomerooted."（當(dāng)它們形成了，它們可能會(huì)根深蒂固）構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)

D中的轉(zhuǎn)折詞but。所以選項(xiàng)D（但是當(dāng)它們形成了，它們可能會(huì)根深蒂固）切合文意。故

選D。

2.前文"Newroutineshavetakenrootandthosewillbemuchhardertobreak."（新的慣例

已經(jīng)扎根，這些將更難打破。）結(jié)合下文講述時(shí)間過(guò)長(zhǎng)的會(huì)議可推知，設(shè)空處可能陳述并不

是所有新習(xí)慣都受歡迎。所以選項(xiàng)B（但并不是所有的新習(xí)慣都受歡迎。）切合文意，與上

文形成明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，newroutines和newhabits是關(guān)鍵詞。故選B。

3.根據(jù)后文"Thepandemiccouldprovideawake-upcallonmeetinguselessness."（這場(chǎng)疫

情可能會(huì)給人們敲響警鐘，提醒他們不要再徒勞無(wú)益了。）可知，作者認(rèn)為每周花23小時(shí)開(kāi)

會(huì)太浪費(fèi)了。所以選項(xiàng)G（把時(shí)間減半，然后想想還能完成多少。）切合文意。故選G。

4.根據(jù)后文“Theconventionofthedailycommuteandthestandardworkingdayhasbeen

abandoned."（日常通勤和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)工作日的慣例已經(jīng)被拋棄。）可知，在疫情下人們的工作時(shí)間

變得更加靈活了。所以選項(xiàng)F（疫情期間養(yǎng)成的最佳習(xí)慣就是變得靈活。）切合文意。故選

F。

5.根據(jù)后文"Atthestartofthelockdown,shesentslipperstoherteamsotheycouldfeel

comfortableworkingfromhome.”（在封鎖開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，她給她的團(tuán)隊(duì)送去了拖鞋，這樣他們

就可以在家里舒服地工作了。）可知，此處是指給團(tuán)隊(duì)送小禮物。所以選項(xiàng)C（這可能包括

送些小禮物。）切合文意。故選C。

D

1.根據(jù)橫線前句“In1992,thepeopleofthetowndecidedtorestartsomelong-forgotten

traditions.”可知人們要重新開(kāi)始一些傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)，本句就應(yīng)該是講述一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)故事，結(jié)合下文

Hewassaidtoonlyacceptmenasmembersofhisgangwhoprovedtheirworthinchallenges.據(jù)

說(shuō)他只接受那些在挑戰(zhàn)中證明自己價(jià)值的男人作為幫派成員。G項(xiàng)“Backinthelate1800s,

therewasarobbercalledRosvo-Ronkaineninthatarea^符合要求，承上啟下。故選擇G項(xiàng)。

2.根據(jù)下一句"Alargenumberofcompetitors,people,andjournalistsfromFinlandto

CanadaattendtheWife-carryingWorldChampionshipeveryyear.”可知很多人參加了這項(xiàng)比賽，

說(shuō)明這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)越來(lái)越受歡迎。故選擇E項(xiàng)。

3.本句是本段的中心句，根據(jù)下文根據(jù)后文TheWife-carryingWorldChampionshipisheld

ona253.5meterslongofficialtrack.可知，”攜妻世界錦標(biāo)賽”是在一條253.5米長(zhǎng)的官方賽道

上舉行的和下文內(nèi)容可知，本段講述攜妻世界錦標(biāo)賽比賽的具體規(guī)則，A項(xiàng)“Thereareafew

basicrules.與之相符,故選擇A項(xiàng)。

4.根據(jù)前文Eachtimeacompetitordropshiswife,thatcouplewillbefined15seconds.nJ

知，每次一個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者放棄他的妻子，這對(duì)夫婦將被罰15秒。F項(xiàng)“Thewinneristhecouplewho

completethecourseintheshortesttime.（獲勝者是在最短時(shí)間內(nèi)完成比賽任務(wù)的夫婦）”符合上

下文語(yǔ)境，故F項(xiàng)正確。

5.根據(jù)第一句“….thereisalsoateamcompe
