本文是一篇说明文。文章讲的是如何通过一些方法来减轻和避免思乡(想家)情结。1.E空后说“在你准备离家之前,记住下面的一些对策”。故E项“离家之前做好一些准备有助于防止思乡情结的出现”符合语境。2.F根据空后语境,关于思乡情结知道的更多,会让你更深入地领悟到思乡情结的普遍性,很多人都有这种感觉。故F项“要知道,(有)思乡情结是非常正常的”符合语境。3.C根据此段中的语境,你可以问问熟知你将要去的地方的人,甚至可以和你的家人朋友提前去看看你将要去的地方,可判断出C项“熟悉你将要去的地方”符合语境。关键词为“the place”。4.DD项中的“The experience”就是空前所说的“当你到达新的地方,如果你提前知道未来的一些日常活动和生活惯例的话,你会感到更舒服。”故选D项,意为“这种经历会看起来更熟悉,很可能会避免思乡情结的出现”。5.G上文说的 “一本喜欢的书、一双拖鞋、一张照片”就是选项G所说的“These items”。空后“当你想家的时候它们都会有助于安抚你。”由此可知,G项“这些东西都会让你近距离感受到家的存在”符合语境。B【语篇导读】 这是一篇说明文,题材为健康保健类。睡前应避免一些不良习惯,以确保晚上睡得好。1.E由下文内容可知,下文中列举了一些确保良好睡眠的好习惯,故应选E项,“因此在晚上睡觉前应该尽力避免一些不良习惯”符合语境。2.DD项中的“Mobiles,puters and

of other peoples respect.”刚好与此句对应。3.E空前句“fear of public speaking is very mon”刚好与E项“its normal to feel nervous or stressed out”是顺承关系。4.C此空为本段主题句,根据空后句中的“mention the good work”和“state why you want to help these people”可知C项合适,F项为干扰项。5.F根据此空后句“Pick one person in each section”可知在此之前应该“Separate the crowd into three sections”,故选择F项。D【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“直升机式育儿”方法的不足之处和改进措施。1.D上文提及“modern technology allows these helicopter parents to watch over from even far away”,D项“他们可以在任何时间从任何地方给他们的小孩发出指示”承接上文中所述:现代科技让这些直升机式父母即使不在身边也可以照看小孩。故正确答案为D项。2.B上文提及 “she gives readers a closer look at this parenting
