With such universal popularity, many people are confused as to why these large and famous companies do so much advertising and have such large advertising budgets. 2 Most business owners who are just starting to understand how vital advertising is to their growth. Putting in the time and money to market your company can help it grow over time. 3 Continuing to advertise after achieving success helps businesses maintain a positive image with the public. It can also help attract new customers as demographics (客户群体) change as time passes. Furthermore, advertising helps to inform your customers of updates to old products and introduce new ones. However, the ultimate goal of advertising for both big and small companies is to earn more income and maximize profits. 4 Is it better to stick to traditional forms of media, like newspapers and television, or embrace (接纳) new forms of online advertising on social media sites? While many new smaller companies tend to focus their limited budgets on social media and internet marketing, it is usually better for larger, well-established companies to do both. For example, over 95% of homes receive television signals, while only around 75% of the population has access to the internet. 5 Also, older, wealthier people are more likely to notice television advertising than online advertising.

For many people, daily walking offers massive and long-term physical and mental benefits. 6 A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. 7 You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”. Our creative mindset is stirred up by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking. But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. 8 Even when you walk down a busy street, you can’t help but get distracted by the sweet smells from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you haven’t even noticed before. Walking outside develops our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels. 9 Research has shown that getting close to nature around your neighborhood or taking a break from multimedia increases performance on a creative problem-solving task. So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors? 10 For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder. A．Unfortunately, you often fail to do it. B．Expose yourself more to your surroundings. C．The movement during walking is obviously key. D．Without enough energy, you cannot wonder or create. E．But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest. F．This habit, however, not only benefits well-being but also contributes to innovation.

With just a few small lifestyle changes, you can make a difference. 16 Recycle. Recycling is a simplest lifestyle to lower the amount of environmental waste. 17 Check the regulations to ensure you use them properly.

If you dispose of something improperly, the whole load will likely be rejected and end up in a landfill. Buy locally sourced foods. 18 Shipping products by truck, rail, flight, or boat creates pollution and goes against an environmentally friendly lifestyle.

But latest studies have found that brothers and sisters can actually boost your physical and mental health, even as an adult. 22   According to a study from Brigham Young University in the US, having a meaningful and close relationship with siblings can lead to greater life satisfaction and mental well-being. Brothers and sisters can help prevent their teenage siblings from feeling guilty, unloved and lonely. Having brothers and sisters makes you more kind-hearted, 23 Could it be that having a same-generation relative looking out for you motivates you to think about others? If a sibling is warm and kind, the other sibling is likely to display the same qualities. Siblings help you have a healthier lifestyle. A survey of more than 15,000 people found that 43 percent of people credited their family members for having the biggest positive impact on their physical condition. 24 Spending a lot of time together, they increase the possibility of taking regular exercise and sticking to your diet. They can help you live longer, In a study from the American Sociological Association, older adults, who described themselves as being “extremely close” to the family members, had a six percent chance of dying over the next five years, compared to a 14 percent risk for the people who didn’t.

When sharing a heart-to-heart talk, people will generally share innermost (内心最深处的) thoughts and feelings. This talk usually takes place without other people being present. 26 Some people also refer to this type of conversation as a heartfelt talk, or speaking from the heart. Here are tips on having a heart-to-heart talk. Share personal stories. 27 When you share a personal story with someone, you put yourself out there in a brave way. Hopefully, the person will follow suit and be receptive to your sharing. Make sure that your disclosure (披露) is proper for the level of relationship you have with the other person. And remember not to push yourself too hard. 28 Listen to understand. Being an active listener is important during a heartto-heart talk. When you actively listen to what another person is saying, he is more likely to open up. 29 Instead, try to listen to really understand what the other is trying to communicate. 30 When you’re trying to get someone to open up and go deeper in conversation with you, you are expected to avoid questions that close off the discussion. For example, you might immediately start trying to learn the person’s likes and dislikes by asking “What’s your favorite color/food/season?” The problem with such a question is that it doesn’t promote (促进) a more detailed answer because it can be answered with only one word (e.g. “Purple. Pizza. Summer.”). A．Raise questions actively. B．Avoid close-ended questions. C．Many times, you may listen to prepare an answer. D．So it’s considered that the talk will be kept secret. E．You should share what you feel comfortable sharing. F．Self-disclosure opens the door to a deep conversation. G．People find comfort in expressing unhappiness with others. （23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期末）Emotional energy is a relatively new term to describe our vitality (活力). 31 If we feel that some situations drain (耗尽) us, then it’s because they take away all our vitality in matters that are insignificant, but ones that do require effort. They’re situations that only distract us from what’s truly important, and from the things that enrich us. Let’s learn to identify them and avoid them.Arguments about insignificant issues A debate is a great opportunity to present your own points of view and learn from other’s opinions. However, something very different happens when two people get into a pointless argument. 32 Gossip 33 . This sort of curiosity is no more than a sign of a lack of identity. Whoever gossips about others looks for themselves in other people. The thing is, they just can’t find themselves.Worrying over and over again One of the situations that drain our emotional energy is unstoppable doubt. This is when we think and think but only come up with “ifs” and “buts”. We try to find the right answer or make the right decision just by reflection. 34 Need for approval We’re constantly trying to get other people’s approval. 35 Instead of investing time to explore who we are, whether others like us or not, we just spend our time doing things that other people want us to do. Generally, people either accept you or they don’t, and sometimes for reasons that are completely beyond your control. A．We spend so much time worrying about things that it blurs our vision of life. B．The only purpose of it is to “beat the other person”, and express their own points of view. C．By doing this we’re just cheating ourselves. D．Vitality is the strength that we have before tiredness sets in. E．We go on and on about the same problem, without actually doing anything to solve it. F．Sticking our noses into other’s private lives, instead of our own, drains our emotional energy. G．However, we forget that many answers come only when we combine thought and action. （22-23高二下·安徽芜湖·期末）Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. 36 Here are some tips one can follow. Be sure of your own value. You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you’re forgetting that you are here for a reason. 37 When something goes wrong, it’s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you’re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go. Keep saying no. 38 Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say. Speak up. People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want. 39 Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard. Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. 40 It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again. A．Say sorry actively. B．Apologize properly. C．It seems common to agree to everything. D．Chances are that you’ll fail into old patterns midway. E．What counts much is to change some of your daily habits. F．Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make. G．Learn to use your voice bravely if you’d like to overcome people-pleasing. （23-24高二上·湖北黄冈·期末）India’s touring (流动的) cinemas are dying, and being reborn. And India is perhaps the most film-mad country in the world while it also has the lowest ratios of screens to human beings. 41 The screens that do exist are unevenly distributed. PVR, India’s biggest cinema operator, has more screens in Chandigarh, a prosperous city of about a million people, than it does in Rajasthan, a poor stale of 80 million. If Muhammad could not go to the movies, the movies had to come to Muhammad. Twenty years ago, there were 1,400 odd touring cinemas in Pusegaon. 42 However, today there are only 52 travelling cinemas. 43 One is smartphone and internet expansion, which leads to the other reason for the collapse of the touring cinemas: 44 Sushil Chaudhary, the founder of a new chain of touring cinemas called Picture Time, is making a different bet on the possibilities of cinema. Mr. Chaudhary started his company in 2015 and has since set up 37 moving screens seating between 100 and 250 people. The touring cinema was nothing like the one in Pusegaon. 45 The picture was crystal clear and the sound used Dolby. Picture Time’s tickets are cheap, at between 30 and 70 rupees, compared with an average ticket price of 191 rupees at PVR’s cinemas. A．they failed to change over time. B．Fewer people can afford to go to cinemas. C．The floor was carpeted and there were plastic chairs. D．The following are the reasons leading to this phenomenon. E．It was in this world that the touring cinemas played a crucial role. F．The collapse of the touring cinemas was for two interlinked reasons. G．It is one more paradox (悖论) among the millions of contradictions there. （23-24高二上·江苏徐州·期末）There are a lot of chemicals that can cause indoor air pollution. A recent project conducted has found over 900 different substances in our home are related to it. Many researchers have already examined the causes of indoor air pollution. 46 It has been proved that different kinds of chemicals can be released by building materials and new furniture. Everything from painting and decorating products, bathroom cleaners and beauty products can contain these chemicals. 47 For instance, cooking generates a lot of harmful emissions, like frying meat in oil. As a research from Denmark has highlighted, cooking, particularly roasting can damage our body. Roast dinners contain many potentially harmful pollutants. 48 When exposed to cooking emissions, people actually had DNA damage. It can be associated with cell repair processes that trigger cancer—causing genetic changes. 49 And what can we do with it? As far as cooking emissions are concerned, no one is suggesting switching to takeaways. 50 For example, cooking meat at high temperatures with lots of fat produces more harmful emissions than boiling pasta. Besides, opening windows and using cooker hoods are preferable so that we can enjoy the roasted meat without those undesirable effects. A．In the long run, these changes lead to cancer. B．They might also arise from cooking at home. C．A wide range of sources are under investigation. D．Therefore, what results from indoor air pollution? E．However, most of us have ignored their bad effects. F．So, what are the main contributors to poor air quality? G．But we can change how we cook to deal with the emissions. （23-24高二上·江苏南京·期末）Sometimes our friends’ behavior can offend (冒犯) us; sometimes we can see changes they need to make — but how do we tell them? 51 It’s important to have solid evidence that there is indeed a problem. Evidence that can be agreed upon makes it easier for other people to recognize issues. 52 Psychologist Andrea Bonior suggests framing problems with “I”. Saying “I feel hurt that you spend less time with me” is less accusatory (谴责的) than “You never spend time with me!” and is focused more clearly on the impact. 53 Becoming tense might lead you to react badly and cause an argument. Bonior recommends that you should acknowledge the conversation could make you anxious. If you think about this yourself, it can help you focus on positive results. If you admit your anxiety to your friend, you will show a more human side. Another psychologist, Laura Brennan, points out how it’s important that we let go of our ego (自我) and don’t focus on the need to be proved right. This can help reduce tension. 54 Many experts recommend planning your words so that you can say things in a way that avoids conflict. However, Bonior cautions against overplanning, as this can stop you from being flexible enough to genuinely follow and participate in the discussion. Be realistic. Complicated problems are unlikely to be solved with one conversation. Consider what is possible in one discussion and that it may be harder than you initially thought. 55 A．Staying calm is vital. B．Are there any ways to make difficult conversations easier? C．Some people like to gather evidence to support their concerns. D．This will help you to set realistic goals for what you can achieve. E．Once you have proof, it’s important to highlight how it impacts us and others. F．Should we always be completely honest with our friends about their behavior? G．We can lower the potential for conflict by listening to the other person and asking questions. （23-24高二上·山东济南·期末）Mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, yet it is often ignored in our fast- paced society. 56 A well-cared and healthy mind leads to improved emotions, better relationships, and a more positive outlook on life. 57 When we are stressed or upset, it is our mind’s way of reacting to negative stimuli(刺激). Good mental health allows us to cope with these emotions in a positive manner. In addition, when our minds are not clouded by negative thoughts or emotions it is easier to think clearly. 58 Studies have shown that a person with good mental health lives longer and has a higher quality of life. The effects of positive mental health on the body are plenty, including reducing the risk of diseases and improving overall physical well-being. Our mental state has a significant impact on relationships. People with good mental health are more likely to be kind and understanding. 59 This may further guarantee them with a stable emotional condition. Mental health is as essential as physical health in maintaining a fulfilling life. If we run into trouble, don’t keep it to yourself. 60 With the right support, we can all enjoy the benefits of a healthy mind. A．Turn to friends or families. B．They strongly connect with others. C．Physical health has been a problem. D．So ways to keep positive must be found. E．And a clear mind can help make smart choices. F．The mind actually needs as much care as the body. G．Mental health is vital for keeping emotional balance. （23-24高二上·山东滨州·期末）Hobbies to try in 2024: release your passion Do you want to try out new and exciting hobbies in 2024?

For example, painting is a good way to express emotions and creativity.

Social hobbies are worth exploring for those who enjoy making meaningful relationships. Joining a book club allows you to discuss literary works and share insight with fellow book enthusiasts. You can also make a difference in your community to a cause you care about. Volunteering isn’t a time consuming task 62 If you love to embrace the unknown, adventurous hobbies might be your calling. Experience the ultimate rush as you jump out of an airplane and free fall through the sky. 63 Besides, rock climbing pushes your limits and rewards you with a sense of achievement when you reach the summit. 64 For instance, open doors to new cultures and broaden your horizons by learning a new language.

The word “active” implies that you are taking some type of action when listening to others. 66 Be fully present Active listening requires being fully present in the conversation. It enables you to concentrate on what is being said. Being present involves listening with all your senses and giving your full attention to the speaker. To use this active listening technique effectively, put away your cell phone, ignore distractions, and shut down your internal dialogue. 67 And let everything else slip away. Pay attention to non-verbal cues (非言语暗示) As much as 65% of a person’s communication is unspoken, 68 . This involves not folding your arms, smiling while listening, leaning in, and nodding at key points. It can also be helpful to pay attention to your facial expressions when active listening so that you don’t convey any type of negative response. Keep good eye contact When engaged in active listening, making eye contact is especially important. This tells the other person that you are present and listening to what he or she says. 69 At the same time, you don’t want to use so much eye contact that the conversation feels strange. To keep this from happening, follow the 50/70 rule. This involves maintaining eye contact for 50% to 70% of the time spent listening, holding the contact for four to five seconds before briefly looking away. Be patient Patience is an important active listening technique because it allows the other person to speak without interruption. Being patient involves not trying to fill periods of silence with your own thoughts or stories. This also requires listening to understand, not to respond. 70 Also, don’t change the subject too abruptly as this conveys boredom and impatience. A．Don’t prepare a reply while listening. B．It also shows that you aren’t distracted. C．This isn’t helpful during active listening. D．So use open, non-threatening body language. E．Don’t focus too much on insignificant details. F．Place your focus on your conversation partner. G．This involves using certain strategies or techniques. （23-24高二上·浙江台州·期末）Unique among all the positive emotions, hope requires some degree of conflict, difficulty, negativity, or uncertainty to be ignited. People high in hope are optimistic about their future and believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles. 71 Here are tips on how to cultivate hope. Set and achieve goals. Without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Hopeful people usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. 72 Getting three emails out in the next 15minutes or preparing lunch in the next 20 minutes are simple examples. Stick with positive people. 73 This doesn’t mean being intolerant of another person’s difficulties, negativity, or struggles, but it does mean that hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright and proactive attitude. They maintain a healthy balance but don’t get overwhelmed by the negativity around them. 74 While believing in oneself is important, highly hopeful people are able to forgive themselves as well. This is a unique combination because this type of confidence allows a person to be imperfect. In addition, they are willing to take reasonable risks and accept failures to support their growth and move forward. Keep a positive outlook. No matter what life throws at them, they endeavor to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. 75 A．Believe in the power of risks. B．Be self-reflective and confident. C．This is key to the success of many high-hope people. D．One way this gets done is through achievable micro-goals. E．Being around positive people contributes to keeping optimistic. F．Therefore, they’re constantly trying to improve themselves and their skill sets. G．Instead, they work out solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 1．G 2．B 3．C 4．E 5．D 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了为什么大公司尽管已经取得了全球性的成功，仍然需要进行大量的广告宣传。 1．根据前文“Certain brands and products can be easily recognized at a glance by people worldwide.
