篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了骑自行车的益处。
1．F 根据上文：当我搬到一个新城市时，我做的第一件事就是租一辆自行车。为什么？再根据空格下句：你骑自行车旅行的速度比步行快得多，你会观察到比你在公共汽车或一辆汽车里会观察到的更多的周围的环境。可知，骑自行车看城市是安顿下来以后了解你周围环境的理想方法。故答案为F。
2．E 上文讲述骑自行车(尤其在小城市)的好处。骑自行车上班只花步行一半的时间。可知此空也应该是在说骑自行车的好处，E项(骑自行车也意味着你不受公交时刻表的限制。)与之相匹配。also对做出正确判断起着很大的作用。
3．C 根据下文：尽管汽车污染环境，但是骑自行车是碳零排放的。可知，重要的是，骑车也有助于减少你的碳足迹。故选C。
4．A 根据下文：一定要戴上头盔，注意其他的交通，晚上不要忘记开车灯。可知，骑自行车时要小心。故选A。
5．D 由Luckily后所述情况可知，作者为此庆幸，说明前面提及了两种不同的情况，根据上句：有些城市比其他城市更适合自行车可知，有些城市道路对骑自行车的人来说是困难的或者不愉快的。故选D。
强化特训7 七选五(一)(限时：32分钟)

(2019·南宁一模)Everyone knows how important trees are to the well－being of the earth. __1__ By providing shade for people to enjoy time outside, trees can shade our homes to keep them cooler in the summertime. They can hide unsightly (不美观的) views, reduce noise from nearby roads, and serve as windbreaks. Many types also produce flowers and fruit. These tall plants simply make our homes and neighborhoods more attractive.
Choosing Trees
__2__ Planting a tree is a long－term project. Large shade varieties, especially, take a long time to grow. And once planted, they are difficult to move. Trees can also be a significant financial investment, so it's important to choose wisely.
__3__ You may not have room to grow all the types you want to try. So take the time to choose a plant you like that also will grow well in the conditions you can provide. Trees vary widely in their need for space, light, and soil conditions.
Care
Once you've made a choice, you'll need to prepare your site for planting. You may need to clear the area of other vegetation and improve the soil with organic matter such as fertilizer and nutrients. If you plant a tree yourself, carefully follow the instructions given by the nursery or read “How to Plant a Tree”. __4__
Providing proper care after it's planted is also important. __5__ Feed regularly, water deeply, and prune (修剪) them carefully, so they become strong and healthy. Mature plants usually don't need to be watered or fertilized.
A．They also provide homes for wildlife. B．Your success depends on proper planting.
C．Many yards have space for only a few large plants. D．Young plants should be babied for the first few years. E．They develop large root systems and can grow by themselves.
F．When you are planting trees, it's wise to plan your selections carefully. G．But do you know there are also many advantages of growing them in your own yard?
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了种树的一些注意事项。
1．G 空前讲述的是树对地球的重要性，空后讲述的是树给人们及其住所提供的诸多好处，前后意思上存在轻微的转折；且下文主要讲述的是如何自己种树，故选项G与此处匹配。
2．F 该部分的主题为Choosing Trees，主要讲述的是要谨慎地选择所种的树，故F项与此处匹配。下文中的“so it's important to choose wisely”亦是提示。
3．C 根据空后内容可知，你可能没有足够的空间来种所有你想种的树，所以要选择能在你所能提供的条件中良好生长的树。空后内容围绕“空间”展开，故C项与此处匹配。
4．B 根据空前一句“If you plant a tree yourself, carefully follow the instructions given by the nursery or read ‘How to Plant a Tree’．”可知，自己种树时遵循指南很重要，空处承接上文，故选项B与此处匹配。
5．D 空前一句讲的是种好树后适当的照料很重要，空后一句叙述了具体的照料方法，空处连接上下文；末句中的“Mature plants”与此形成对比，由此可推断空处讲的是对未成
熟的植株的照料需要花几年时间，故选项D与此处匹配。

Curling (冰壶) is a winter sport played on ice. Therefore, it's most popular in northern countries like Canada. Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people. __1__ Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed. Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.
__2__ Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide a forty－pound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal. After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.
__3__ The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly. __4__ Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone's path.
In curling, a broom is part of each player's equipment. A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court. __5__ That may explain why the international Olympic Committee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.
A．Players compete on the court.
B．Then the play begins in the other direction. C．Curling is played by teams of four people.
D．In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete. E．The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard. F．The melting of the ice makes things tough for the curlers. G．Curling probably began in Scotland in the 1500s or earlier.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项奥林匹克运动项目——冰壶。 1．G 根据下文的“Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport”可推知，此处是概述冰壶的历史渊源，所以选G项。
2．C 根据本段的整体内容可知，本段主要讲的是冰壶的具体操作规则，故选C项。 3．E 上段讲的是冰壶的操作规则，本段讲的是冰壶的操作规则学起来容易，但具体操作起来并非易事，所以选E项来承上启下。
4．F 上文中的“The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.”说明冰壶在实际操作中并非易事，F项接着说明另一个原因，并且F项中的“The melting of the ice”与空格后的“Water”呼应。
5．D 根据下文的“That may explain why ... in 1998.”可推知，一个好的冰壶球员必须是一个好的运动员，所以选D项。

How to overcome social anxiety
If you suffer from social anxiety, you will fear certain situations. In whatever situation your fear turns up, you will probably experience sweating, feeling your heart race or other symptoms of anxiety.
__1__ No matter what your symptoms are, there are things you can do to deal with social anxiety.
Relaxing muscles.
__2__ It is impossible to feel both relaxed and anxious. For deep muscle relaxation, you will relax the major muscle groups of your body, beginning with your feet and working your way towards your head and face.
Breathing slowly.
Controlling your breathing when you are anxious is another good way to deal with your emotions. When you are anxious, your breath becomes faster and shallower. __3__ If you learn to breathe more slowly and regularly through your nose, you will calm down.
Controlling your thoughts.
Faulty thinking is another feature of social anxiety. __4__So it is important to judge whether those thoughts are true. People with social anxiety always overestimate how badly others think of them. Keep in mind that your thoughts are only guesses about what others will think or what you will do.
__5__
Most people with social anxiety want to hide or run away from whatever they are afraid of. But by facing your anxiety instead, you will find that is usually something you can put up with. When using this method, focus on what is going on around you
