● Think from the brighter side.

1.16.

A

B

C

D

解析：选F。篇章总起过渡句。前文提出保持积极心态对幸福和健康很重要；下文用 4 个黑点分点罗列具体做法。F 选项：You can learn to keep yourself positive in many ways. 你可以通过很多方式学会保持积极。作用：承接上文 “保持积极很重要”，同时总领下文多个方法，实现承上启下。排除其他：E 是因果结论，不能放在文章开头；C/D/B 都是分段落的细节或小标题，无法统领全文。

2.17.

A

B

C

D

解析：选C。段落主题句（段首）。本段小标题 “Love and accept yourself 热爱并接纳自己”。后文关键信息：You should not care too much about changing yourself…How I am right at this moment is completely fine.（不要总想着改变自己，此时此刻的自己就很好）。C 选项：Focus on what you are now. 关注当下的自己。作用：和后文 “接纳此刻的自我” 高度呼应，引出整段接纳真实自我的论述。排除 F：F 已经用于 16 空；D 讲活动，和本段接纳自我主题无关；E 讲关注生活美好，和本段话题不匹配。

3.18.

A

B

C

D

解析：选E。段内逻辑结果句。前句：Positive people don’t look for other materials or experiences to keep happy.（积极的人不依靠物质或者外在经历获取快乐）。本空需要给出：不靠外物，那要怎么做？E 选项：So, pay close attention to good parts of your life. 因此，多关注生活中美好的部分。so是因果逻辑词，承接上一句，给出内在心态调节的做法。排除：B 是小标题；D 谈论活动；C 已经使用；A 无关。

4.19.

A

B

C

D

解析：选D。段内过渡句。本段小标题 “Do activities that lift your spirits 做振奋精神的活动”。空格后面直接列举：watching TV, painting and listening to music（看电视、画画、听音乐）一系列休闲活动。D 选项：Join in relaxing activities in your free time. 空闲时参加放松的活动。作用：总括后文一堆活动实例，起到总起举例的过渡。后文的例子就是对 D 选项的具体展开。排除：B 是小标题；E 侧重思想不是活动；A 话题无关。

5.20.

A

B

C

D

解析：选B。小标题（主旨概括） 本空是黑点小标题，需要概括整段。段落核心：忠于自己信念，为梦想行动，每向梦想迈一步都是成功。关键词：dream 梦想、every step towards your dream 朝梦想前进。B 选项：Set your own goals. 设定你自己的目标。目标对应梦想，完美概括段落。多余干扰项 A：Be independent. 学会独立。段落只是说不要依赖别人定义你想要什么，重点是树立目标追逐梦想，不是讲独立。独立强调不靠别人帮助，原文没有论述该主题，属于多余选项。
