【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何开始过上极简主义生活的几点建议。

36.【答案】F

【解析】根据空前的"Toomuchstuff；toomuchtodo,toomuchstress...Theseareweighingpeopledownand

breakingtheirspirit』太多的事情，太多的事情要做，太多的压力……这些正在压垮人们，击垮

他们的精神）“可知，太多的事情，太多的压力让人们不堪重负，而空后“Hereareseveralthingsto

helpyougetstarted.（这里有几件事可以帮助您入门）”讲述的是帮助你如何开始，由此可知，该空

为过渡句，引出帮助人们开始过上的是什么样的生活，F选项“That5swhythereisagrowing

interestintheminimalistlifestyle.（这就是为什么人们对极简主义生活方,式越来越感兴趣的原因）”

讲述的是人们对过极简生活方式感兴趣，与空前为因果关系，同时过渡到下文，起到了承上启

下的作用，故选F项。

37.【答案】B

【解析】根据空后的"Finally,youwillbeshockedtoseehowfewpossessionsyouactuallyuseinyourdaily

life.（最后，你会震惊地发现你在II常生活中实际使用的财产是多么少）”可知，最后你会对自己

的成果感到惊讶，所以可推断，此空应表示打扫的工作已经完成，B选项“Completetheprocess

inseveral$weeps.（在几次清理后完成该过程）”中的完成这一过程与下文内容衔接，符合逻辑，故

选B项。

38.【答案】E

【解析】分析语篇可知，该空为本段的主题句，根据空后的“Thebestskillyoucandevelopinyourlifeisthe

abilitytotakeastepbackandlookatthingsobjectivelybyraisingdoubtsaboutwhatisseeminglythe

wayitissupposedtobe.（你在生活中所能培养的最好的技能就是能够退一步，客观地看待事物，

对看似应该是这样的事情提出质疑）“可知，作者建议人们对看似应该是这样的事情提出质疑，E

选项“Fromtimetotimeyouneedtoquestionaboutyourlifestyle.（有时您需要质疑自己的生活方

式）''中的质疑当前的生活方式可以作为本段主题，与下文内容吻合，故选E项。

39.【答案】D

【解析】根据本段主题句“Weshouldalwaysstaymindfulandlivewithintention.（我们应该始终保持正念，

并有目的地生活）“可知，本段讲述的内容是建议我们带着目标生活，D选项“Withthatinhand,

youhaveagoaltoworktowards.（有了这些，你就有了一个努力的目标）”讲述的为我们有为之努

力的目标，其中的goal与intention为同义词，且与主题吻合，故选D项。

40.【答案】C

【解析】根据空后的"Instead,takesometimetothinkaboutwhetherit'ssomethingthatyouareexcitedabout

attending.（相反，花点时间想想你是否有兴趣参加）”的instead可知，此处讲述的内容是该如何

做，所以空处应为不要做什么，C选项“Don'treply"yes"toeverythingyou'reinvitedto.（不要对

你被邀请参加的所有事情都回答“是"）”讲述的是不要事事都答应，内容符合题意且逻辑合理，

故选C项。
