第二节 (2025·南京市秦淮区期中)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。
Life is always changing. Sometimes that’s great，but at other times it can make us feel unsure and worried.
What are life changes?
There can be lots of new things that happen in your life. Some can be really positive(积极的)things like joining a club or making new friends.
11 They can be big things like changing schools，a friend going away or a close relative getting sick. They can also be smaller ones like new plans at home or a new teacher managing your class.
12Why is it difficult to deal with changes?
Emily Hanlon explains，“Our brains love patterns(模式). When something changes，people can feel like they are stepping into the unknown.
13 This can make us feel worried because we don’t know what to meet.” Changes can also be hard if you don’t feel quite ready for them or if you are not in control of what is happening.
14Yes! Life would be pretty boring if everything stayed the same all the time. Trying new things makes you find out what you like and don’t like. For example，if you don’t taste ice cream，how will you know if you love it?
15 Just as Hanlon says，“Changes can make you full of fear，but they often lead to your new knowledge and great improvement.”
A. They can make us feel safe.
B. Can changes be good for you?
C. Does everybody like changes?
D. It also helps you to grow and learn skills.
E. It’s like going on a surprise trip without a map.
F. However，some changes can make you feel worried.
G.
All of these things can cause some pretty big feelings.

【分析】
做这类七选五题目，首先要先通读全文把握核心主题，本文围绕生活中的各类变化展开，讲解了变化的类型、应对变化困难的原因以及变化的积极意义。接下来逐空定位前后文的逻辑线索：先看空前后的指代关系、转折关系、问答对应、总结逻辑，逐一匹配选项排除多余项。比如第11空前讲积极变化，后讲负面的变故，明显需要转折过渡句；第14空是段落小标题，后文直接用Yes作答，优先找对应的设问句，顺着这个思路就能快速锁定每个空的正确选项。
【解析】
11. 前文提到部分变化是积极正向的，比如加入俱乐部、交新朋友，后文转而列举转学、亲友离开、亲人生病等会带来负面感受的事件，前后是转折逻辑，F选项“然而，一些变化会让你感到担忧”承上启下，完全符合语境。
12. 前文分别列举了大的负面变故和小的日常变化，G选项“所有这些事情都会引发相当强烈的情绪”是对前文列举的所有变化的总结，自然过渡到下一段讨论应对变化困难的原因，衔接通顺。
13. 前文提到变化来临时人们仿佛踏入未知领域，后文说明我们不知道将要面对什么所以会产生焦虑，E选项“这就像一场没有地图的惊喜旅行”把踏入未知的状态具象化，和后文“不知道要遇到什么”的表述完全呼应。
14. 此处是段落小标题，后文直接用Yes给出回答，整段内容都在阐述变化能带来趣味、帮人探索自身喜好、带来成长，核心是讲变化的益处，B选项“变化对你有好处吗？”的设问完全匹配后文的回答和段落核心内容。
15. 前文举例“不尝冰淇淋就不知道自己是否喜爱它”，后文提到变化能带来新知识和巨大进步，D选项“它还能帮助你成长、学习技能”承接前文尝试新事物的意义，和后文的成长进步内容呼应。
