【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，主要讲述的是怎样激发自身积极性四条建议。

1.E 根据横线后一句On the other hand, negative thinking will only cause more depression in your life.消极的思想只会让你有更多的压力。其中的on the other hand，说明横线句的内容是与之相对的积极思维的作用，故E项“Remember, positive thinking gives you motivation to achieve what you want.积极的思维给你实现目标的动力。”符合上下文串联。

2.D 根据横线后两句Don’t be jealous of those who are successful around you. Instead, take inspiration from their success stories.不要嫉妒你周围成功的人，相反，我们应该从他们成功的故事中得到灵感和鼓舞。可知鼓励自己的方法之一就是被他人的成功所鼓励。所以D项符合本段中心思想。

3.A 根据横线后一句Whether you are working out in the gym or going for a long walk, make sure that you include an exercise plan in your daily routine.可知无论你在体育馆里锻炼还是长途步行，都要保证你有一个锻炼计划。说明本段强调的是锻炼积极思维的重要性，A项与本段第一句There is a famous quote that reads, “A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.”是一致的。

4.C 根据本段最后一句it is important to break the monotony(千篇一律) in your daily life.打破生活中千篇一律的常规是非常重要的，也就是说不要总是做同样的事情，要做一些不同的事情来刺激自己。故C项“You might lose motivation by doing the same things over and over again.”正确。

5.It is important to get out of your comfort zone and try something different.走出常规常识一些不同的事情会让你更有动力更积极。所以F项“By doing so you will get motivated and your attitudes towards life will be positive.”与本上下文是一致的。

【名师点睛】

7选5考查的是语篇的连贯性和一致性，因此就要使用到各种达到连贯目的的各种衔接手段，即：词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。

1)词汇同现法

词汇同现是指属于同一词汇搭配范畴或者某一领域的词汇在文章中共同出现，达到语义衔接的目的。一般来说，上下文中词汇的范畴越小，上下文的衔接关系越紧密。

2)代词线索

英语表达中代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用无非是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。

3)数字线索

包括具体数字以及和数字相关的词汇诸如ratio, rate等等。作者列出数字，除了和其他数字进行对比和比较之外，还可以用数据来说明一个观点。

4)逻辑关系线索

(a)并列与递进关系： and, or, also，neither…nor…,either…or…,likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to say ,as well as, the same …as,besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to ,what is more
