17、 choice.GStress can influence peoples thoughts and feelings.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章给我们介绍了几种应对压力的方法。1D根据空后的“However,it is possible.”可知,生活得完全没有压力是不可能的,然而阻止压力并且降低它的影响是有可能的。故选D。2F根据下文提到的各种锻炼和运动可知,选F。3A本段的主题是你要努力地休息好和吃好,故选A。如果压力反复地让你休息不好,你就应该去看医生。4C本段讲的是合理安排工作和娱乐时间,故选C。C项中的“relax and have fun”与本段中的entertainmen
18、t呼应。5E根据空前两句的内容可知,此处表示把必须做的事情列一个清单,先做最重要的事。故选E。.语法填空(2016广东六校教育教学联合体高三统考)Do you ever stop and think about this big,beautiful world we live in?Its home 1._ so many people and animals.We all live in this amazing place,so we all have the 2._ (responsible) to take care of it,too.A long time ago,I starte

21、to any cause is just a drop in the bucket and wont make a difference.But thats not true!9._ (actual) when it comes to saving our environment,every small action counts.The 10._ (tiny) thing is better than the greatest intention.【语篇解读】保护环境,从我做起;拯救地球,从小做起。作者8岁时创立网络公司,把一部分利润捐给热衷环保的组织。最小的行动胜过最大的打算。你行动起来了
22、吗?1to考查介词。be home to意为“的栖息地”,为固定搭配。2responsibility考查词性转换。我们都住在这个令人惊叹的地方,因此人人也都有责任照顾它。根据空前的“have the”可知此处应填一个名词,responsibility意为“责任,职责”。3how考查宾语从句,分析句子结构可知,空处引导的从句作wondered的宾语,且根据句意可知,此处表示方式,故用how引导该从句,表示“我想知道我如何能把我的才能发挥好”。4inspired考查时态。空处的前一句和后一句都用的是一般现在时,但是根据空后的时间状语“at age 8”可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去
23、时。5trying考查非谓语动词。我把收益的一部分捐给尽最大努力挽救我们的环境的组织。分析句子结构可知,organizations与try之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故此处应用现在分词形式作后置定语。6invited考查非谓语动词。创业后,我开始受邀给年轻人作关于我的公司和环境的讲座。此处是get done“被”结构,故填过去分词。7is考查主谓一致和时态。that引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,that指代的是something else,表示单数含义,故从句谓语动词用单数形式。此外,这里表示客观的情况,故应用一般现在时。综上可知本空填is。8a考查冠词。很多人觉得对任何事业的小小贡献都是杯水车薪
24、,不会有什么影响。这里表示泛指,且contribution是可数名词,故用a。注意:feel like后面是一个省略了引导词的从句。9Actually考查副词。但那是错误的!事实上,谈到拯救环境,每一个小小的行为都很重要。空处作状语修饰整个句子,故要用副词。actually“事实上”。10tiniest考查形容词最高级。本空难度较大,很多考生不知道此处应该怎么填,但是根据空前的“The”和句意“最微小的事情也比最伟大的打算好”,空处要填最高级跟后面的“the greatest”形成对比。 【导学号:34802224】.短文改错(2017湖北省八校高三联考)My hobby is collect
