85、自然减少了我们的愤怒、恐惧和沮丧，增加了我们的积极情绪和心理健康。大自然中的时间也带我们走出自我和狭隘的关注，将我们连接到一个更大的世界，在那里我们可以发现美和兴趣)”可知, 本段主要讲述大自然对我们心理和情绪的影响，可以开阔我们的视野，空处为段尾句，对本段有总结和归纳的作用。所以E选项(因此，环境与我们的整体健康息息相关)符合语境。故选E。【17题详解】根据下文“But even if you live in an urban area, spend time in your yard or find a park or a green space with trees and bushes
86、.( 但即使你住在城市地区，花时间在你的院子里，或找一个公园或有树木和灌木的绿地)”可知，此处应指与城市对应的地方，那就是乡下。故A选项(如果你能去乡村或湖边，那就太好了)符合语境。故选A。【18题详解】空处为段尾句，应承接上文。由上文“Go outside during your lunch hour if you can to get a “breath of fresh air” and give your mind a break.(如果可以的话，在午餐时间到外面去“呼吸一下新鲜空气”，让你的大脑休息一下)”可知，午餐时间可到大自然中呼吸新鲜空气，让大脑休息一下。F选项(你应该为下午的

C【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文，文章讲了Rene Campbell女士用一生的大部分时间改变自己的身材。起初她也喜欢所谓完美的瘦身材，但后来才意识到，对于女性来说不必在意他人的言语，女性也要有强健的肌肉，也要有坚强的心。【16题详
96、解】上文“I was always very insecure about my body image, as everyone seemed to know for sure that women needed to look a certain way（我对自己的身体形象总是很没有安全感，因为每个人似乎都确切地知道女人需要看起来有某种样子。）” Rene Campbell在为自己的身材焦虑；设空后说“For quite some time, she struggled with eating disorders because she was trying to keep her weig
97、ht really low and appear skinny, like the women on magazine covers.（在相当长的一段时间里，她一直在与饮食失调作斗争，因为她试图保持体重很低，看起来很瘦，就像杂志封面上的女性一样。）”她在努力尝试让自己的变瘦变自信。因此推断她所谓的自信身材对Rene Campbell施加负面影响。选项A.“She was constantly feeling under pressure.（她经常感觉到压力满满）”。符合上下文语境。故选A。【17题详解】根据空后“It was then that she became attracted by
98、the way these seemingly confident women held themselves.（就在那时，她开始被这些看似自信的女性展示自己的方式所吸引）”，Rene Campbell被这些看似自信的女性展示自己的方式所吸引，就萌生了想要健身的想法。所以Rene Campbell应该是受什么触动、或者看到了什么东西之后才会被吸引。G.“Purely by chance, Campbell attended a womens bodybuilding show.（纯属偶然，Rene Campbell参加了一场女子健美表演。）”符合语境，因此下文内容。故选G。【18题详解】下文“
99、When I tell them that I am a female bodybuilder, the first reaction is, Muscles for women are just not attractive,（当我告诉他们我是一名女性健美运动员时，他们的第一反应是，女性的肌肉不吸引人。)”说明人们不理解女性的健美，F项“People dont understand why women would want to be muscular.（人们不明白为什么女人想要肌肉发达。）”与下文一致，故选F。【19题详解】下文“Even though there is a huge ma
100、rket encouraging women to build muscles and tighten their figures, the ideal still stands for smaller waists, and thin legs, the so-called perfect figure. For women to build up strong muscles, it takes a strong heart.( 尽管有一个巨大的市场鼓励女性锻炼肌肉和控制体型，但理想的身材仍然代表更小的腰围、更细的腿，即所谓的完美身材。女性要想锻炼出强健的肌肉，需要一个强壮的心脏)”说明人
101、们不喜欢肌肉女。D项“The body of super-muscular women is considered unwelcome.（超级肌肉发达的女性的身体被认为是不受欢迎的。）”符合本段主旨。故选D。【20题详解】上文“It is a very big shift for me, and it has won me plenty of awards.（这对我来说是一个很大的转变，它为我赢得了很多回报。）”说明Campbell says从健美中获得益处。C项“It does bring a sense of confidence and mental strength.（它确实带来了信心
102、和精神力量。）”符合语境，因此下文“ My bodybuilding journey makes me realize that I need to do things for myself.(我的健身之旅让我意识到，我需要为自己做一些事情。)”,表明Campbell变得自信。故选C。10【湖南省部分校教育联盟2022-2023学年高三上学期入学摸底测】Self-confidence refers to your belief in your skills, qualities, and ability to succeed.

110、show confidence in any situation.(幸运的是，在任何情况下，你都可以做一些事情来展现自信。)”可知，作者通过这句话后面再给出建议，那前面应讲有些人缺少自信，所以E项However, not everyone feels confident in their abilities.(然而，并非每个人都对自己的能力有信心。)符合语境，However与上文形成转折，not everyone feels confident 和后文 things you can do形成对应。故选E项。【37题详解】根据本段的小标题和上文中的“When you are in a situa

113、【39题详解】本空为主旨句，根据下文中“Looking to confident people you admire, reading inspirational statements, or repeating a motivating mantra(祷告)The key is to choose realistic role models or statements that reflect achievable goals.(寻找你崇拜的自信的人，阅读鼓舞人心的声明，或重复激励人心的咒语关键是选择现实的榜样或反映可实现目标的声明。)”可知，这里讲寻找令人鼓舞的人或事。而A项Look fo

122、others mistakes as well as our own.”（不过，好消息是，我们可以从自身和他人的错误中吸取教训。）提到可以从自身和他人犯过的错误中吸取种植花木的教训，G项“以下是种植花木时常见的错误及改进措施”则进一步引出了具体的常见错误及改进措施，符合题意。故选G项。【17题详解】下文“Pick one up and test the soil in each garden bed individually, as the pH level often varies even in the same yard.”（选一种酸碱度检测工具，要分别测试每个花坛土壤酸碱度，这是因为甚
123、至是同一庭院的土壤，其酸碱度也会不尽相同。）讲的是应选一种检测工具检测土壤酸碱度，one指代酸碱度检测工具，所以设空处内容应提到检测工具，F项“所幸这些检测工具价格不高，而且园艺店都有出售”提到了test tools，符合题意。故选F项。【18题详解】上文“But leaving the work to a sprinkler (喷头) puts your plants at risk.”（但是只用喷头处理浇水工作可能会不利于植物生长。）提到给植物浇水时不能一味依赖喷头，D项“snake a watering tube over the soil surface”与上文的“leaving th

125、 likely disappoint you if it is planted in the shade. And no matter how much you hope otherwise, water tolerant will never mean likes wet soil.

126、结果会让你失望。不论你怎么想，“耐水”永远不是指“喜欢潮湿的土壤”。选择适合你的花园生长条件的植物会让你的花园看起来更加漂亮、更加健康，而且不需要怎么护理。）主要强调要注意植物的生长条件，B项“在错误的地方种植错误的花草”也是与植物生长条件有关，所以B项符合题意，适合作该段的小标题。故选B项。【20题详解】上文“Apply 2 to 3 inches of covering around plants. Never pile up against them.”（在植物周围使用2-3英寸的覆盖物即可。千万别堆积在植物上。）提到覆盖物不能都堆积在植物上，E项“否则积水太多、温度过高会弄死花木”则指
127、出把覆盖物都堆到植物上的后果，其中E项的“it”指代上文的“pile up against them”。所以E项符合题意。故选E项。12【山东省临沂市2022-2023学年高三上学期开学摸底考试】What will you say when you dont know how to answer a job interview question? _16_Whatever you do, dont lie.If you cant draw from personal experience to answer a question, its alright to say something li
