of activities might help to improve your study habits.Make a list.We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 1 You dont worry about whatever else you should be doing.Sleep more.Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 2 Eat healthier foods.Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 3 They might give you a temporary burst of energy.However，that energy is soon followed by a crash.Reduce screen time.This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people.Screen time time spent looking at cell phones，televisions，computer screens，has a clear effect on the attention span. 4 5 Concentration

thoughts.ABe active.BPractice more.CThese foods can provide enough energy for focusing.DBut these foods cant be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.EThat is bad news for teens who stay up

all experienced peer pressure(同伴压力)It happens to everybody.However，people have different reactions.Confident people refuse to do things they dont want to do，but shy and anxious people often give in.It may be because they want to be liked.It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them，or perhaps theyre just curious about trying something new. 6 Its hard being the only one who says no and the question is：how do you do it？ 7 If you think that missing maths，or smoking，or going somewhere you know your parents wouldnt like is a bad idea then the answer is simple：dont do it.Its your decision，nobody elses.You dont need to be aggressive.You dont need to shout and scream，but you must be confident and you must be firm.You need to say，“No，thanks.I dont want to do that.”Being on your own against everybody else is very hard，so it can really help to have at least one other peer，or friend，who will say no too. 8 You want friends who will support you when youre in trouble.You dont want people who will always agree with the majority.Remember，the most popular people arent always the most trustworthy.9 You can learn a lot from people of your own age.They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework.They can recommend music and advise you on fashion.And dont forget you can tell them things too，and that always feels great.So，find friends who have similar interests.And remember，friendship isnt about feeling depressed and guilty. 10 AChoose your friends carefully.BFirstly，you must decide what you believe in.CIts about sharing experience and having fun.DOf course，peer pressure isnt completely bad.EIt may be because they were all born to be stubborn.FDepression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.GWhatever the reason，some people end up doing things they really dont want to do.【语篇解读】 自信的人通常选择拒绝做不乐意做的事情，而害羞和焦虑的人通常会选择接受。本文介绍了如何学会拒绝并解释了如何从来自同伴的压力中学习。6G 根据空前两句“It may be because they want to be liked.It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them，or perhaps theyre just curious about trying something new.”可知，那些害羞和焦虑的人做他们不想做的事情可能是为了让别人喜欢自己，也可能担心他们的朋友会取笑他们，或者仅是尝试新事物。结合空处所在的位置可以判断，空处承上启下，说明不管是何种原因，这些人选择了做他们不想做的事情，故 G 项符合文意。7B 根据该段最后两句“You dont need to shout and scream，but you must be confident and you must be firm.You need to say，No，thanks.I dont want to do that.”可知，对于如何拒绝，你无需叫喊，但是要自信和坚定；据此可知，空处表示要确定你相信的东西，故 B 项符合文意。8A 根据空后一句“You want friends who will support you when youre in trouble.”可知，你需要在你困难时会支持你的朋友；据此可以判断，空处介绍的是“要慎重选择朋友”，故 A 项与此处匹配。9D 根据空后的“You can learn a lot from people of your own age.They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework.”可知，你可以从同龄人那里学习很多，他们能教会你很多知识；据此可以判断，来自同伴的压力并非完全是坏事，故 D 项符合文意。10C 根据空前一句“And remember，friendship isnt about feeling depressed and guilty.”可知，友谊并非是内疚和沮丧；据此可以判断，空处陈述友谊的真谛，故 C 项符合文意。C(2017武汉市调研测试)How to run international meetingsAs more of us do business across cultures，its best to prepare ahead of time before heading to the meeting table.Here are four rules for different countries.Stick to the scheduleWhere：Germany，Austria，Japan Weve all been to meetings that have a loose agenda，if any at all.They dont start on time and they seem to repeat. 11 Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting. 12 Meetings that run long in Germany are often taken to mean that the parties are not communicating efficiently.13 Where：China，Malaysia，SingaporeDebating a topic can go against the traditional Chinese concept of“saving face”，which means avoiding any mistakes or actions that could bring embarrassment.Laughing at even an obviously amusing answer or pointing out a potential mistake can spoil the entire meeting.Enjoy the interruptionsWhere：Italy，France，SpainWhen Pascal Soboll meets with clients in Italy or Spain，hes no longer offended if they leave early or arrive late.Rather than attend the entire threehour meeting，he has learned that his colleagues there and in some parts of Franceattend based on their own timetable.14 Rather than expect people to sit through his entire presentation，he makes it easier for them to turn up as needed.Please，no small talkWhere：Finland，SwedenIn places like Finland and Sweden，where non meeting related discussions like chat about the weather can be regarded as a way to be off a formallyset agenda and as a waste of other peoples time.In some countries，including Finland，there are long pauses in the conversation. 15 These breaks are used as a way to process what the other person is saying without interrupting.ANot so in these countries.BGermans and Austrians are similar.CDont even think about a brainstorm.DTheres often no way to tell how things are going.EDont try to fill them，though，with small talk or anything else.FWhat do the long silences，idle chit chat and serious faces really mean in context?GFor Soboll，that means changing his own German based expectations of client behaviour.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在不同国家如何成功地召开会议。11A 空处前两句介绍了常见的会议情况：时间安排松散，开会不准时，总是重复；结合空后的“Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting.”可知，日本人注意会议的细节，并在数天前就做好准备。据此可以判断，空处承上启下，说明并非所有的国家在开会时都会出现上述的情况：时间安排松散，开会不准时，总是重复。故 A项正确。12B 根据该部分中的“where：Germany，Austria，Japan”可知，该部分主要介绍德国、奥地利和日本的开会习惯；空前一句已经介绍了日本的情况，结合空后一句“Meetings that run

based on their own timetable.”以及空后一句可知，意大利人、法国人和西班牙人开会很随意，G 项中的“Soboll”与该处相对应，故 G 项正确。15E 根据该部分标题“Please，no small talk”和空前的“there are long pauses in the conversation”可知，选 E项，E 项中的“them”与“long

life.21 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer，it can hold less dissolved(溶解的)oxygen.The other reason is less obvious.The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surfaceeither from the atmosphere，or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 22 Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter.Thats because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化)of glaciers，icebergs，and ice sheets. 23 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 24 Instead，more of the oxygen will remain near the surface，where it will be used up by oxygen -breathing organisms.A lowoxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet.A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100.They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall，until they declined by 30 percent.The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans，but even 100，000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 25 AIts not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.BScientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.CFresh waters inpouring will make the water at the oceans surface lighter.DThe oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks.EGlobal warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide.FThe light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.GIf they are right，we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life.【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章简要介绍了海水中氧气含量主要原因及其可能对海洋生物带来的长期的影响。21B 从文章篇章结构分析，本空为段落主旨句。本段介绍了全球变暖使海洋含氧量降低的原因，并且“One”“The other reason”与 B 项中的“two reasons”相呼应，故选 B。22D 根据段落主旨和空前的“The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface.at the top of the sea.”可知，此处是通过说明海洋中氧气的来源与循环来解释海洋含氧量下降的原因的，故 D 项“然后，随着表层海水的慢慢下沉，氧气扩散至海洋深处”符合语境。23C 根据空前的内容和常识可知，雨水和冰川、冰山及冰原融水都属于淡水，海洋中的水是咸水，而淡水的密度比咸水的小，因此淡水的注入会使海洋表面的水变得更轻。故 C 项符合语境。C 项中的“make the water.lighter”与下文中的“make it lighter”的对应关系亦是提示。24F 根据空前的“The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will .”和空后的“Instead，more of the oxygen will remain.”可知，F 项与空前的句子的句式相同，且与空后的句子的内容存在语意上的转折关系，故 F 项符合语境。25G G 项中的“they”与上文中的“A team of Danish researchers”相呼应，且上文讲到即使我们把二氧化碳的排放降低到零，海洋含氧量也需要很长时间才能恢复，其对海洋生物造成的影响将是长期的，故 G 项“如果他们是对的，那么我们完全有理由对它对海洋生物的重大影响感到担忧”符合语境。高三作文：聚光灯下的明日之子我们每个人都生活在别人的眼光关注中，这些眼光中有鼓励、肯定，但也有质疑甚至否定，然而，掌控人生的往往是你自己。在车水马龙的街道上，鱼龙混杂的网络上时时刻刻都有人关注着你，与聚光灯下的明星似乎毫无区别，外界的影响会让你左右为难，不知进退。此时的你已经忘记了你是谁，你为谁而活！明星界得抑郁症自杀，寻求毒品刺激的人数不胜数，星光闪耀的背后蕴藏着粉丝们的肯定、质疑与否定，无疑这些都是罪魁祸首。当明星是为了粉丝与金钱而活着时，他的这份职业也就黯然失色。人无完人，人必有缺陷，但无畏外界只做自己时，人生就取得了胜利。错误在所难免，坚守自己正确的价值取向才是重中之重。然而，有迷失自我，那也必有坚守自我修养的有志之士。张爱玲如此评价他：“不要认为我是个高傲的人，我从来不是，至少，在弘一法师的寺墙外，我是如此的谦卑。”弘一法师家世雄厚，一辈子衣食无忧，在众人的眼中可谓是锦衣玉食，但他不愿做一个“富二代”，不愿做一个一辈子碌碌无为的人，他无畏外界如何赞许或着否定他。新文化运动期间引进西方文学与器乐进国门，促进了我们国家的发展，他那满腹经纶的潇洒文笔成为了永恒的经典。他是我所敬佩的人，一个恪守自己道德，只为自己而活着的人。这样的人值得被所有人所铭记。但弘一法师毕竟是少数，我们要清醒地认识自己。一味不听外界的评判只做自己，只走自己的路终将会因为自负而走火入魔，一味听外界评判，那么人终有承受不住压力的那一刻，并向世界上最大的敌人 自己投降。人是生物界最聪明的物种，因为他会反思，只有适度的听从与不为外界影响而完全改变自己的意志的人，才能在掌握自己人生道路下越走越远。高中学习亦是如此。有的人不听从老师的建议，一味钻研自己喜爱的科目，最终因为成绩翘脚而高考失败，得不偿失；有的人听从老师的建议，在自己较弱科目上奋勇直追，认清高考的方向，不放弃，成功取得了高考的胜利。这两者都是为自己而活，但为什么结局却不尽相同？李世明与魏征的故事就是最好的答案。夜郎自大注定失败，盲目听从注定迷失，只有在吸取教训的同时，走自己正确的道路，才能在掌控自己人生的同时大放光彩。点评：本文基于材料中的关键词“别人的眼光”、“做自己”入手，深入分析，具有自觉的辩证意识，行文中不断地从对立面角度思考，不断推进思维。开篇简述材料，把当下许多人诸如明星迷失自我的现状与坚守自我的有志之士形成对比，之后提出观点，不管别人的眼光如何，要恪守自己的道德，坚守自己正确的价值取向。接下来，尚没有等读者缓过神来，作者便迅速以“适度听从与不为外界影响而完全改变自己意志的人”的论断，弥补单纯肯定做自己的绝对化倾向，同时结合当下高三学生的例子使得行文具有很强的针对性，不至于泛泛而谈。当然，文章还有很多的瑕疵，如魏征、李世明的例子选取不甚贴切，整篇文章的格局似乎还是少了一些。
